My method of “speed melding ejuice”. Put your thoroughly mixed juice in an open glass container. Not a plastic bottle. It warps and adds gods know what to the mixture.  Use a graduated cylinder or beaker. Put the glass container of your final mixture in 95ºC water. Not boiling water. The level of juice does not have to be covered by the water. We are just transferring heat for a limited time. Leave it there until the water is about 22ºC or longer. Bottle and enjoy sooner than just letting it set and naturally steep.

I had a Empire Mod in Black Diamond Cut and some Bobas Bounty waiting on me when I got home today. On the left is the Empire in 18350 mode and on the right it’s in 18650 mode. It supposed to take any battery from 14500 thru 18650. I’ve tested 3 so far. They all work good. The bridgeless atty that came with it is working quite well. I love the 901 with the dripshield. 

Next up on the video reviews is the GLV mini, in the foreground, with a GLV 5v for size comparison. Watch for the video coming in the next few days.

The SmokTech WOW 5v Mod from GGecigs.net final thoughts. After 3 weeks of exclusive use I put my thoughts down on video for an abbreviated final look at this basic 5v mod.

Nicotine purchasing post Box Elder

I have been searching for a nicotine supplier that has good pricing since my original supplier, Box Elder, went away. I was doing some searching and found this blog post on the internet. It explains things really well and has link to the vendor that i now use. Rather than repost the article in its entirety I just linked to it in the above text. The pricing is good, they ship to Australia with decent shipping costs. It turns out to be about 40.00 a litre shipped in bulk, which is less than what I was paying at Box Elder on the 50% off sale they had regularly. And now I don’t have to wait on a sale.

Did I mention? Santa was good to me this year. A MacBook Air to fit between my MacBook Pro and my IPad.

First Look: 5v SmokTech WOW from ggecigs.net

The kit is stated to come with 1 X WOW Tube and cap, 1 X thread cap 1 X 3.5ml dual coil acrylic tank, 5 X 2.0 ohm tank cartomizers, 5 X whistle tipped drip-tips, 1 X 2.0 ohm 5ml dual coil eGo cartomizer, 4 X 700mAh IMR 16340 batteries, 1 X TrustFire TR-001 charger (with US plug), 1 X zipper carry pouch.

I received all of that except it had a aussie plug, which was nice. It also came with 2.5Ω tank cartos instead of 2.0Ω, which I like better on a 5v device anyway and the supplied tank seems to be smaller than 3.5ml. That too is no big deal to me as I prefer the smaller diameter tank. I only mention it as it varies from the description. I had a little trouble on the start and emailed GGecig. They responded quickly and were very nice to correspond with.

I have had a few button sticking incidents over the last 3 days but they are becoming less frequent and are unsticking by itself now rather then having to manually unstick it.  I’ll say more about that in my actual video review when I have a chance to use it longer. The issue I contacted GGecigs about was what I thought was a dead Carto that came with the unit. The eGo style Smok dual coil carto would kick off the protection when I first used it and I thought it was just a shorted carto. It turns out that I wanted to use the kit with fully charged batteries right off the bat so I used a set of protected 16340s that I already had charged. It was not the WOW kicking out it was the protection on the batteries. After charging the supplied unprotected batteries and using them I had no further issues with the big honking eGo styles cartomiser that came with it. The other cartos that came with it worked with both the unprotected batteries that came with it and protected 16340s that I already had.

During the 3 days I have used it, I have found I like it. It is not much larger than the 1300 mah off brand eGo that I have. Just a little fatter. But not my much. It has PWM output so I am not able, with my current test equipment, to test loaded output. But I can say that on all the supplied cartos and a standard silver bottom boge 510D it vapes like 5v.  I am getting good battery life out of it. It is lasting my 12 hour shift at my normal vaping pace. Initially it appears to be a nice kit, with heaps of cartos that comes with everything you need except e-juice to vape around the clock at 5v with a tank. I hope the button sticking resolves its self before I do the final review. It appears now to be the only major flaw in a otherwise stellar kit.

GLV owners rejoice! SmokTech has a tank that fits the GLV unaltered and without an extension. The diameter of the tank allows it to screw all the way down on the GLV without hitting the button. The carto is a 2.5Ω Dual Coil that vapes at 5.4V on my GLV 5V. I received this in a SmokTech 5v WOW Kit that I will be doing a first impressions on soon and couldn’t resist putting it on the GLV to try it. The WOW Kit comes from GG Ecigs Australia. They also carry the SmokTech Tank and replacement cartos. Look for the First Impressions and Review coming soon!
