Vape-heads? Do You Vape?

My starter kit (Apollo Extreme) came with 2 batteries. For the way I vape, a battery will last me 4 to 5 hours. I've been using them since the end of December. I would vape until I got the signal the battery was going then switch; I would charge the depleted battery overnight.

About a month ago, I noticed one started dying sooner (about 1/2 the time of the other). I went to Apollo's customer support and they sent me a replacement battery.

Hi Loren

I am charging them daily, at different times of the day (because I tend to stay up late at night), but mostly recharge at least 1 while I sleep. The other one recharges while I am using the newly recharged one (if that makes sense). There is an indicator light on my wall charger that turns green when the batteries are fully charged. I wait until the light is green before using them. I have tried to follow basic common sense with these batteries i.e. keeping the battery head/tip/connection point clean and dry, disconnecting the cartos when the battery is not in use, fully charge the batteries before use, and kept them in the carrying case when not in use to keep debris from getting into them. I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong.

The good news is, I can report V4L has very responsive customer service. I sent an email to them last night around midnight and received a response by noon today with an apology and confirmation of a shipment of 2 new batteries and a new passthrough sent out today. So, I'm very pleased with this. They did not even request I send the old batteries back to them.

I just wanted to add a quick note about the stormy's vapor cellar site I mentioned a few posts back...I ordered several cartos, tanks (kanger T3 and dual coil and 4ml generic cartos) and adapters from them late last night and they have already shipped the order (by the next day before 10am). So, that is very good processing time. Their website is at http://stormysvaporcellar.com/oc_1/i...te=common/home

I also wanted to mention another site. It's new, I think, but right now they have a ship for free for any order over $6 and they have the best prices for 12ml metal needle bottles at 99 cents each. The website is http://www.juiceray.com/category_s/1848.htm .

Happy Vaping!

Hi Meri,

Was fun watching live vapon.tv last night...and particularly cool that I won two drawings from the sponsor Juiceray.

I still haven't got my confirmation from AIW and wish the damn order would get here. No monies left for another order this week, but I have 2 orders in with them already that I am waiting on delivery. At this rate my winnings from Juiceray will get here before theres lol.

In two weeks will buy more AIW if I like their stuff in the BIG bottles and then also try Tasty Vapor. May also try HH too.

You were on a roll, unc! Which juice flavors did you get?

I also ordered again from AiV last night, got rabbit hole flavors of Foursquare, Pearship, and Lil' Berry Cheesecake, and a big bottle of the Quiet Morning because I think I am going to like that one a lot. I'm getting antsy waiting also. I have calculated between delivery time and steeping time, I won't be able to vape their juices until around the first of May

In the mean time, I still have half of each 30ml bottle of the V4L juices (8 of them) plus more coming from HHV.

I ordered the chocolate covered cherry and the toffee flavors. Will be getting 12 ml bottles. I didn't order any from AIV this week. I want to try some other vendors too especially value vapor---great prices there too. Seems they provide 90% of the companies with their juice that gets marked up.

Looking on the internet, I found another vendor I'd like to try. They have awesome prices...30 ml bottles for only $11 right now!

I got my order today from Heather's Heavenly Vapes at http://www.heathersheavenlyvapes.com/store3/. I am really pleased with what I ordered and wanted to give a review of the hardware and juices:

Hardware is the eGo 900 mAh CE5 batteries. They last about 5-6 hours with a full charge and take about an hour and a half to reach full charge. The size of the batteries is just right for me; I wouldn't want anything larger. They are about the size of a cuban cigar, but a little shorter. With the larger capacity cartos/clearos, it's pretty long. I mentioned this info for anyone who may want something discrete. The 2 eGo's came with 2 mophead clearomizers, but I haven't tried those yet. I'm waiting for my Alice in Vapeland juices for those. I did use the 2 Kanger T3 bottom coil tanks, and LOVE these things. I will order more.

Other cartos/clearos I got:

Smoketech dual coil cartos. They hold 5mls of liquid and fit these eGo batteries perfectly. The dual coil really does make a difference.

Juice - I ordered from HHV this week, so my juice is from them:

Crackberry - Blackberry; subtle, but still able to taste it. Sweet. Was able to vape it as soon as the batteries were charged.

Dragon's Breath - Dragonfruit; very nice flavor; strong enough. Sweet. Also able to vape it right away.

Mocha Java Smooth - Mocha coffee with a cream finish; not very chocolatey, but decent. Going to let it steep a while and retest.

Still waiting for the AiV order...should be here next week. I will give a review of those when they come in.
