    HELP! This is getting ridiculous...

    UPDATE: I was seen by a doctor who said it was probably bacterial in nature and gave me an antibio and steroid script. I'll post in a few days to tell how I'm feeling. Always makes me crazy when people ask questions and then don't follow up with the solution - so I promise - I'll follow up for...

    Nitecore D4 strangeness...

    Recently bought a Nitecore D4 (verified authentic) to supplement my tried and true Xtar VP2. As with any new equipment, I want to test it. I bought 6 brand new Sony VTC6. (Purchased in person from Kidney Puncher, so I'm assuming they are legit.) My intent is to use these in "married" trios in...

    Dead Rabbit SUPER LOOSE barrel...!?

    Just received and unboxed my (authentic) Dead Rabbit. Immediately I'm noticing that the barrel is exceptionally loose on the build deck. Seriously, this might be the loosest I've EVER seen for a barrel-to-deck friction. It is virtually impossible to remove the top cap without intentionally...

    Really liking my Aura - but!

    I just got my Digiflavor Aura RDA on Saturday morning. Slapped a build in it, and I've been using it for the last three days. Granted I haven't vaped for a year and a half - started back up a month ago, but for whatever it's worth, here are my thoughts: Pros - Great airflow options...

    Anyone still using a Wismec JoyBo RDA?

    I stopped vaping for a while almost 2 years ago. I mostly used mech mods (my favorite was my copper nemmy clone) and RDAs. Recently I've taken to vaping again. Bought a Fuchai Duo-3 which I enjoy very much. Bought a Goon 1.5 RDA because I Googled it fast, people seem to be generally favorable...

    Back to vaping: Kylin RTA

    Hello all, It has been about 1.5 years since I vaped. I slipped back into my Swedish Snus habit, but my dentist (aka my wife) was getting on me about it so I saved up some cash and bought some new vaping equipment. Wow a lot has changed in 1.5 years! Here's what I'm running right now...

    Quick question about PG/VG and RTAs...

    Hello :) I know a lot of DIYers mix 75% VG/25% PG or even 50%/50% for their tank systems. However, at present my favorite RTA is a Kayfun 3.1 clone. Because my overall favorite is my RDA though, I was planning on making close to 100% VG juice. Does anyone have experience running 100% VG in a...

    Is something about my build causing...

    Is something about my build causing dark spots on my wicks - in the same places every time?? Whenever I re-wick my build, dark spots appear on the "outside" part of the wick very quickly. I get no burnt flavor, but I always wonder why it always appears FIRST on the "outside" part of the wick...

    Strange taste in eliquid

    I just ordered 3x 30ml bottles of juice from Mt Baker Vapor. Three different flavors (peach, blackberry, and menthol). However, they all have a similar very nasty flavor to them. I can't figure out what it is, but it literally makes me gag. :( With some random searches I've read about alcohol...

    Looking for a reasonable price range mechanical mod

    Hello, I'm looking for advice on a reasonable price range ($40-60 maybe) mechanical mod to replace the Smoktech Fury-S that I'm unsatisfied with (and am unable to return to the shop - so I'm chalking it up as a loss :(). I'm new to the mech mod/RDA setups. I'd like something that fits in my...
