    Folks...turn your rigs off on planes!

    Well, see, that's another reason to travel with an inexpensive set up that you wouldn't be heart broken to part with. As well as the TSA agents kind of randomly declining stuff, lost luggage, theft....

    Never thought I'd start a thread like this...

    I'm not down to zero nic but...I work in insurance doing medical data compilation and more and more companies are screening for nicotine use, even and especially ecig, for life and health insurance. They will check your labs for nicotine. You can face severe consequences by accepting a policy...

    Weirdest experience in a vape shop?

    Man, I hate going into new vape shops. I am at that age (36) that I'm no longer cool. Too many times it's a bunch of young kids acting every bit their age and ignoring the oldies. One time I went into the local shop and they were all hanging out and wouldn't fess which one actually worked...

    Ceramic coils

    I am personally excited to see if they burn "cleaner". I'm that annoying chick who thinks non stick pans are going to kill us all. So I'd like to compare emissions when heated.

    Educate me about wire?

    OMG! YOU GUYS! I AM SO EXCITED! You are all super geniuses! I made a 2.75 MM coil, removed the outer layer of cotton on both sides, left it a little play, fluffed and....BEST VAPE EVER. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    Educate me about wire?

    Usually strawberry milk, but today I went straight fruit, strawberry watermelon, max VG, between 40-50 watts.

    Educate me about wire?

    I don't have drill bits but I do have crochet hooks with very precise MM measurements. I'll use that to really gauge what I'm doing so I can work towards that sweet spot.

    Educate me about wire?

    I do think I'm probably over wicking. It's a weird, compulsive thing where I KNOW I'm over wicking but almost can't stop myself. Right now I wrap around the infamous blue screwdriver and use Japanese cotton. I'm going to increase the diameter of my coils and resist the urge to wick tightly...

    Educate me about wire?

    On my thread about a burnt taste with my Crown RBA it was suggested I try a different type of wire. I've only ever used 26G Kanthal. I typically wrap to a 0.5 OHMs. What should I try? What would really push that flavor forward? I'm still a noob and haven't experimented much.

    Consistent burnt taste in my Unwell Crown RBA

    For the leaking....completely close the air flow. Draw on it as hard as you can without actually firing. THEN open your air flow. I don't know why, but it works like a charm for me to stop leaks.

    Map of 20 states currently considering taxes on vaping

    I live in Illinois, just outside of Chicago. Cook County has enacted a rather large tax on all vape products so my favorite B&M moved 20 minutes down the road across county lines. SUCKS.

    Consistent burnt taste in my Unwell Crown RBA

    I've tried different ways to wick, increased the diameter of my coils, tried starting at a low wattage and gradually ramping up, had my local shop check my build and STILL I am getting a consistent burnt taste with my vape. I've changed my OHMs, my wattage, my juice, everything I could think...

    I think I found "The One"

    So a few months ago I fell off the vape wagon when my life went to heck. I kept looking at the Disruptor I won here in guilt, and I had all kinds of excuses. My tank was crummy, my juice was crummy, no time, stress, blah blah blah. On a whim I stopped in a vape shop just to see what was new...

    A bit annoyed: vaping indoors all of a sudden upset ONE coworker

    I hesitate to assume she's being ridiculous for the sake of ridiculous. I cape. My ex vapes. And you know, he has vaped some flavors that make me want to retch last week's lunch and claw my own nose off. So....maybe she legit thinks your cape stinks, maybe it legit bothers her. And...

    Uwell Crown coils burns every time?:(

    I've only had my crown 2 days, but I've been chain vaping a locally made Strawberry milk with my own coils in the RBA deck 0.5 OHMs on my Innokin Disruptor at 50 watts with no problem. I am getting leakage, but I think it's my wicking and I'm over filling. I am getting the impression this is a...

    advice required on brands of e liquid

    I totally agree with trying your local vape shop. Beyond the obvious benefit of tasting before you buy and supporting your local economy, you will want a relationship with a real, live person. Advice as you upgrade, hands on help when you get into building and the incentive of having a fun...

    how to change e liquid

    I always wash and dry my tank and change my coil. Probably why an RBA deck is a deal breaker for me. Lol!

    Serious Question: What's the point of vaping low nic juice on a high powered Mod?

    Eh. I dislike clouds, the attention embarrasses me. But the mouth feel of a dense cloud of vapor is very satisfying. I'm a dual user very much hoping to Chuck the analogs for good. Right now I'm at 0.5 OHMs at 30 watts and 6MG nicotine and seriously considering going to a dripper. It's a...
