    Sick of people stigmatising vaping

    Recent surveys suggest 90% of the general (USA) public believe vaping is worse than smoking. That is a result of a billion dollar campaign by the federal gov't to convince them of that, mostly in the form of the junk science we are all so familiar with. Although most people give lip service to...

    Sick of people stigmatising vaping

    Every top position on the FDA is filled with people with long standing Big Pharma connections. They don't take positions in the FDA for altruistic reasons.

    Shinyitis Support Group

    Does this guy have Shinyitis? "What is it and where can I find one???" LOL. Yes, I referred him here for support/treatment.

    GAME CHANGER

    First game changer: Provari P2.5 (Mini and Standard) + Nautilus/Nautilus Mini. I finally had something I could trust, after 3 months or so of an endlessly growing pile of eGo batteries and CE4's. I vaped that exclusively for about a year, and never once went one minute without a working vape...

    ProVarinati Diner & Saloon and Beyond

    I was just vaping my P2.5 Dragon with P3 top, with a P3 Kabuki. When I went into the menu, the 2nd digit of the LCD did not display. I pulled the battery, reinserted it, and the digit sort of winked into view like a loose light bulb (presumably bad solder joint???). I let it sit awhile and...

    ProVarinati Diner & Saloon and Beyond

    Terry, did you get that extension tube from Provape? My recollection is that they did not come up with that until the Ti P2.5 and then the P3. I also recollect that it was almost impossible to buy them from Provape. I think they kind of doled them out if you bugged them on a support ticket to...

    You can turn a mini into any configuration, and use all 3 battery sizes. You can't do it with a standard. Without a hacksaw :). Your P3 is a mini, but configured the way mini's should have been from day one. I use all 3 different battery sizes depending on my needs at the moment. The mini...

    Flavor combinations given a slap in the media

    If you do ever go on a quest to avoid diketones, stop drinking coffee and for God's Sake stop grinding coffee beans in your kitchen, and stay the hell away from Starbucks or any other coffee shops. Even sniffing ground coffee from a commercial can of ground coffee is like putting nails in your...

    Flavor combinations given a slap in the media

    I vape DIY mixes with diketones. I don't worry about it because I am far more worried about possible toxic effects from my green bean consumption. There has never been, and never will be, any long term studies to determine that green beans are safe to eat. No one can say that they are not...

    ProVarinati Diner & Saloon and Beyond

    I have a different opinion on this. I have a set of HG2 button tops. The only mods that I am comfortable using them in is my 2.5's and P3. Most other vape mods have very little "travel" in the spring loaded pin. The HG2 is about a mm or so longer than a standard flat top or AW button top...

    Vaping again

    I feel EXACTLY the same way. Never again do I want to go through Hell Week. After almost 3.5 years, though, it never crosses my mind. Except never, ever "have just one for old times sake".

    The MVA limits in my ratings tables are not a number to use for vaping!

    I don't understand why so many people have so much trouble applying conservative practices when using a device that can become a road flare in your pocket or next to your mouth. Thank you for doing all you can to make vaping as safe as possible.

    What wire to buy?

    I think Baditude gave you some great advice on the coils. For the past year or two I've been building exclusively on 27 ga Kanthal, 3mm ID, 7/8 turns, dual coil, for a final build around 0.7 ohms. I like relatively higher resistance (in the sub-ohm age) on my coils because all else equal...
