On this, the eve of my 55th birthday, I have some good news: I've given up nicotine. After five years vaping, I've switched to zero nic juice.
I still use the Serpent tank and a K120 from Kanger, but a couple weeks ago I decided it was time and ordered a bottle of my ADV in zero nic. This was my...
I quit smoking two years ago today, the day I picked up my first eGo kit and iClear 16 clearomizer. I've learned so much about vaping since then. For instance, I never thought I'd know an equation well enough to apply it to my daily life, but Ohm's Law is etched into my brain. I can recognize...
I ran across this Wiki page about various hoaxes in which people were told about the terrible properties of a dangerous chemical called dihydrogen monoxide (or some variation thereof), which is actually just the fancy chemistry name for water.
The reason I'm posting this link in my blog is...
Crew Juice is a line of e-liquid from Big Lou of the youtube channel, Big Lou's East Coast Review. The name 'Crew Juice' refers to his loyal youtube subscribers, whom he refers to as his 'crew'. Crew Juice currently has four flavors in the line, and each one is available in nicotine strengths of...
Despite the large number of parts, it's a fine atomizer once you get the hang of it. I used a Kayfun Lite for about six months, so I thought 'Oh this will a breeze. "Learning Curve" Pffft.' My ignorance was overshadowed by my arrogance, but luckily it didn't effect my confidence. It only took me...
I fixed the switch!
I mentioned before how the firing pin in the switch has like a 'step' in it. The pin rests on that step when the switch isn't being fired. It's shaped like this: ===--- i.e. thick at the top, then steps down to a thinner section which sits inside the button housing. So I had...
Oh boy, this is going to be a rant. If you're easily offended, you should probably skip this one (though I promise that no ECF guidelines were broken).
Lately, there's been two things nagging at me. I'll get the really trivial one out of the way first, and in doing so can avoid starting one of...
A while ago I talked about a kind of chart or database where anyone could go and find out if one piece of gear was compatible with another. I got a comment or two, and then it all fizzled out. But that's okay, because I've noticed more and more that product manufacturers are taking on that...
After five days of using my new Shotgun, I've discovered some interesting things. Some good, some bad.
First of all, and most annoying, is the switch. When I took the mod out of the box and put it together the first time, the switch was not great. Kinda crunchy. Made some clicks and dings every...
I received my copper Shotgun clone today. I've been on the lookout for a clone of this mod ever since seeing Grimm Green's gushfest over it. The original, by Emit Vapor, is not something I could easily afford, but I was so impressed with the design. This mod is made to be self-adjusting for...
I was downtown this afternoon, and saw a billboard proclaiming, amongst other things, that e-cigs are a TRICK from Big Tobacco to get TEENS hooked on Nicotine! The billboard went on to say that vapor is TOXIC, underneath pictures of cartoon monsters giving an eGo setup to a couple eleven year...
In my previous blog, I said that Spoon Licker V2 was the first of the ITC juices I tried, but it wasn't. I had simply forgotten about the entire bottle of Apple Buns I had ripped through during the previous week. And, I can't really say I forgot about it. I had just stopped thinking about it...
I can't say enough good things about my little Derringer clone. I've been vaping my face off with it night and day, and can honestly say it just suits me perfectly. I've got it built with a single micro coil of 24g Kanthal A-1, wrapped 7 times around a 2 mm screwdriver and clocking in at around...
So, I had a bad experience with Mount Baker Vapor. I had ordered my usual ADV (peanut butter and green apple with a bit of pear) with a little more pear than usual. The pear tones down the tartness of the green apple and makes it taste more like a red apple; so this time I thought I'd add a...
My wee little Derringer clone arrived today. It was part of a nice haul of vapemail, but I saved it for last. I wanted to go through all the other stuff first, then settle down and do a build on it, then sit back and have a vape.
After installing my new M-tank on the Kayfun (translucent black...
After 15 months of vaping, I noticed today that my signature counter thingy says I've saved over $4,300 by not smoking. I've only spent about a quarter of that on vaping so far, and the monthly amount I spend has been getting smaller and smaller since the beginning. The largest part of that was...
Vaping is under attack from every corner. The guys who make cigarettes hate us. The companies that make 'stop smoking' aids hate us. The states that have budgets based on the money they get from tobacco settlements and taxes hate us. Sometimes it seems like everyone hates vapers. Everyone.
But...
An idea has been brewing in my mind for a while. Until now, I had hoped that it was something I could start, something I could put together and show people and say hey, this is my contribution to vaping. However, I don't have the resources or skills to do this, so I want to pass the idea on to...
Usually, when I write a blog here I intend it to be useful in some way. A review, a point of view, or a tutorial of some kind. Something that someone else may one day do a search on and find my little ramblings and just maybe, hopefully, come away saying 'Hooray! That's all I needed to know!'...
This review is for Disco Vapor's Foxy Fruitopia.
See Mad Vapes e-Liquid Review #8, minus the tangy gummi flavor of Downtown Delight. Is it just me or do all Disco fruit flavors taste pretty much the same? Not bad, but not very different from each other. Kinda disappointing, really. I expected...
