    Doctor claims Liquid Nicotine breaks smoking habit

    Ew. Sucking liquid from a straw. That brings to mind waaay too many shivering, unnerving thoughts. For the ladies, if they're into that sorta thing... maybe ;)

    I have an idea : How about using remote control glow plugs

    Interesting concept. I am much more interested in atty mods or completely new technology as, imo, the atomizer is the heart of the e-cig. My question is what voltage should it be run at? Doesn't platinum and rhodium require much more current to heat up to whatever the nichrome elements in...

    Ethical or unethical?

    I'm shocked that the opinions here are a resounding "You shouldn't have done that." How is what he did any different than giving a non coffee drinker a cup of decaf? Or someone who doesn't drink alcohol a virgin mai tai? Give me a break! OMG OUTLAW THE CAPPUCCINO JELLY BELLIES!!! THEY'LL...

    The perfect E-cigarette.

    Part of throat hit is due to juice but that's not all of it. The amount of voltage going to the atomizer is one factor, quality and amount of buildup on the atomizer coil is another.

    Help! I don't like it---but I want to!

    As far as the flavor of liquids go, I thought I'd chime in with my opinion and observations from my vaping so far... When I first ordered my 510 e-cig, it came with pre-filled carts of reg tobacco flavor. At first, I wasn't really into it. It didn't disgust me but I wasn't really fond of it...

    The perfect E-cigarette.

    Sorry, but for us to move towards a "perfect" e-cig, there'd have to be: 1) Radically new technology in atomizers (i.e. get rid of the whole coil technology and make it self cleaning and more efficient in nic delivery) 2) New battery technology that provides perfect, steady, and long lasting...

    Nicotine absorbtion from vaping research

    So, if a typical cigarette is about 10 puffs and takes about 2-3 min to finish, that means to get the same from 16mg liquid in the same amount of time, you'd have to puff 60 times within 5 min to equal the amount you would get with an analog? That's one heck of a hot atomizer! And *if*, as...

    E-Cig, E-Cig users, and smokers being bashed

    Howard has this exactly correct. I wouldn't base what the world thinks about us e-smokers from the "Intardwebz". I don't own a TV (by choice) so I live on the net basically. Playing games, reading forums, voice chat, text chat, etc... I encounter these knobs all the time. And I've come up...

    Nicotine absorbtion from vaping research

    More speculation but I thought I'd chime in with my experience since it's still pretty fresh. I'm on 6 days and 31 min (heheh counting) since my last analog. I smoked 1 pack / day. Each of my analog cigs was .8 mg / cig, so 16mg / day. I'm using a 510 Titan and TW 18mg Camel Flavor e-liquid...

    I'm not sure I understand what you mean by this. Can you explain further, maybe?

    Converting to E Cigs with regards to Nicotine content.

    I hadn't read that, no. That's a *very* interesting find. Still, it's preliminary data not yet replicated for error. Questions such as, was it a pre-filled cart from the factory? Was it a brand new e-cig? Was it fresh filled? Was the atomizer primed? Etc. Those all could have an effect...

    INCREDIBLE 510 cart upgrade!

    I've tried many different ways for this mod. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but it just doesn't work for me. I haven't tried putting it in the middle. I don't see what poking holes in the sides of the straw would do and putting it in the middle, you'd have to cut it down a bit more since the...

    Questions about Battery Mods

    So you guys are suggesting to use as little wire as possible and thicker (lower gauge) right? I'll keep that in mind as well.

    Converting to E Cigs with regards to Nicotine content.

    Just thought I'd post again to this thread after vaping for about 3 weeks now with a 510 and e-liquid. Until recently, I really had no way to gauge how much I was taking in. The main reason being that I didn't have a proper measure! Now that I received my Johnson Creek starter kit, I was able...

    Questions about Battery Mods

    OK, kender and yvilla, you've convinced me to give a 3.6v mod a go. I'm going to do some more research in the bat mod forums. I'll post if I have any success making my own. Thanks again for all the posts. This community is incredibly helpful. :)

    How To: The New and Improved NicoStick

    Yeah, no way I'd try it unless I knew they were protected. Was just a thought to save space :) Thx.

    Questions about Battery Mods

    Thx SO much for the explanation kender! That's exactly what I was looking for on the amperage of the atty! And, breakfastchef: This is my problem. I thought that a bat mod might solve this but it doesn't sound like it. It sounds like I have to figure out a better cartridge/atty combo...

    How To: The New and Improved NicoStick

    Are cell batteries are more sensitive than the Lith-ions that you're using in your mod? I had assumed that they're just a different casing (unless they're unprotected, which you said not to use and then that would make a ton of sense.) I would assume that you could wire up a USB attachment...

    Questions about Battery Mods

    5v/1A eh? Is that what an atomizer pulls is 1 amp? If not, how do you make an atomizer pull that much? Or do you mean 1000 mAh? I've, personally, found that just using my 510 with Totally Wicked juice, that the throat hit is VERY similar to the Camel Menthols I used to smoke. Upping it...

    Questions about Battery Mods

    TY for the info on the bats. So, I take it, there is some sort of cutoff chip in stock bats that detect the volts and don't give power to the atty if it is under a specified voltage? Is there one for the high end as well? Not sure if batteries spike in voltage... just wondering.
