    How toxic is E-Liquid?

    It is probably best to consider the toxicity of the separate components of e-liquid separately. The combined toxicity is perhaps unknown but I think it is safe to say that at the quantities consumed e-liquid is safe. Propylene Glycol. The lethal dose is more that 1.5liters consumed at one time...

    Glycerin and the 'Acrolein problem' anyone vaping VG read this

    I burn the residue off once a week with 5V from a USB AC adaptor (ipod charger) Works great, vapour production goes through the roof and tastes much more 'pure'. Just in case anyone missed it there is a thread alerting everyone to a new e-liquid base ingredient being manufactured by Chinese...

    801 Atomizer

    Hello, I have had an 801 with the same too-easy draw that you are talking about and another that was perfect. For the too easy draw have a look at the end of the atomizer where the battery screws in. There are air holes around the inside of the cart tube joining the thread that takes the...

    opinions on marlbro liquid

    I have only tried Heaven Gifts Marlboro which tastes fine to me, Turkish Blended tobacco has a heavy, cured almost mocha taste to it, bit full on to me but the strong flavour works well to spice up Marlboro with a mixture. Most of the cheaper priced made-in-china e-liquid seems to taste similar...

    How to fix penstyle atomizers which don't work on some batteries. Oh and ignore the thread bagging Ruyan Direct, the issue is solved here

    Wish I could but I don't have the hardware to take and posts pics just now sorry :( There is a central hole in both the atomizer and battery, this is suurrounded by a donut shaped metal disc which is a battery terminal. The terminal is insulated by a flexible rubber seat which you will see...

    How to fix penstyle atomizers which don't work on some batteries. Oh and ignore the thread bagging Ruyan Direct, the issue is solved here

    Here is another solution from a switched on forum member who has also identified the problem and figured out a solution instead of blaming the supplier. "Please do NOT use the foil trick. It can cause the battery to short & cause a fire. Here is a method that has worked for me on over 20...

    How to fix penstyle atomizers which don't work on some batteries. Oh and ignore the thread bagging Ruyan Direct, the issue is solved here

    There is a slight difference between the depth of the connectors between RN DSE and other penstyles, so your battery terminals may have been pushed down in their rubber seats by so they aren't reaching the atomizer terminal. Use a bamboo skewer and wiggle your battery terminal out of its rubber...

    PEG a new ingredient, instead of PG and VG

    PROPYLENE GLYCOL POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL Compare both PG and PEG. Looks like PEG is less harmful it is marginally less toxic but we are talking about the difference between drinking 1.6 and 2.6 LITRES of the stuff before it will kill you!

    PEG a new ingredient, instead of PG and VG

    Here is a good link for PEG 400 MSDS. Appears to be perhaps even less of a worry than PG especially for inhalation, it has a higher Boiling Point tho which may mean less vapour. I am curious to know if PEG is more thermally stable than PG, at a guess I would say MUCH more, this could be good...

    PEG a new ingredient, instead of PG and VG

    As mentioned PEG 400 is very similar to PG, it has a very low toxicity like PG so it must have similar breakdown products in the body (i.e non toxic). Ethylene Glycol is chemically very similar to PG by biochemically Very toxic, this is because it breaks down into toxic metabolites inside the...

    New Ruyan Direct (Heaven Gifts) 801 Ats.

    The green LED is new for these batteries. The blinking for 10 seconds means that you have drawn for too long (5 seconds I think is the cutoff) This designed to prevent you overheating the coil and burning the liquid and also to prevent battery damage from too much current drain (Li ion batteries...

    Royal Smoker has 1.25L bottles of e-juice of every possible flavour and strength. I think it was like $130 or something.

    New M400 atomizer

    I have the same atomizer, it came with my M-401 from Absolutelyecigs so I am assuming this is the new standard since they are the manufacturers. Draws the carts very well I must say.

    How often do you clean your atomizers? And how?

    I simmer in boiling water then dry. Then hook it up to 5v DC on the terminals to burn off the black residue on the element using 30 second burst with a cool down in between. Then I sprinkle a few crystals of caustic soda directly into the bridge/element core of the atomizer and a dribble of hot...

    possible 1st ecig: m401 pilot

    The M-401 is a great device, especially if you want a small ecig that looks like a cig. The 4-hole atomizer thing is a bit misleading because the four holes actually draw through 1 hole through the battery and down the central hole joining the atomizer. The DSE 901's with 2 hole make less...
