Slow Night: Newbie Ask Me Something...

[deback]

deback - here's a tip if you don't already know. Curl the cord at the base and get some electrical tape and tape it down. Doing that will restrict it from twisting (at the base) which dramatically improves lifespan. If you don't do that you run the risk of the inside wire breaking/shorting out.

Yea, thanks, I saw that suggestion (by you or someone somewhere), and it won't work too well with this passthrough. The cord would end up being in my hand whenever I'm holding it, and that wouldn't be a good idea or comfortable. I'll just be careful and make sure I don't twist or break the cord. I've been using PTs for about a month and have gotten in the habit of handling them in a certain way to avoid that problem. I think if I curled it and taped it onto the PT, there would be more risk of damage. I appreciate the tip, though!

I took a hot glue gun and really gunked it on the end where the power cord enters the unit. this really seemed to reinforce it there. Just what I did, but mines going on 3 months without a single hiccup. This is the 5v one from madvapes.

Ive got a question concerning the nicotine absorption. Ive read several places analogs has an absorption rate of about 1-2 mg per stick depending on brands etc.
Has anyone seen anything concerning the absorption rate of the nicotine when using ecigs? For example if Im using one CE XL carto per day at 1.8 ml (theoretical) with 24 mg/ml nicotine, how much do I actually intake into the blood stream like and analog would?

Is an interesting question berger thius was the best i could come up with. Absorption of nicotine in vaping versus smoking
