    What is alibaba.com and cloneing? Can this place be trusted?

    Alibaba is sorta like the ebay for chinese exports. Their clones are perfectly legal since none of the attys or whatnot are patented in china. Importing those products, im not sure. Here in EU importing most of the stuff they sell is illegal since they haven't passed eu quality inspection but in...

    I know there are tons of vaping veterans on here so please a simple answer to this question.

    resistance wire is tougher than you give it credit for, its built to glow red for years. Personally i've only managed to snap kanthal from heat only once which was when i got impatient with rebuilding my rsst and decided to zap it with 12v (around 100w at the coils resistance) :p

    Article - Can Propylene Glycol Help fight Pneumonia, Influenza etc

    PG has been pumped into hospital ventilation systems for over half a century now, its quite an effective antiseptic. It will help you prevent catching the flu but doesn't treat it so don't take it as an excuse to vape in the hospital if it were to happen anyway :p

    Ideal time to charge a battery?

    li-ions are the happiest and last longest in the 40%-60% charge range so 40% is a good bet. The 40% charge in voltage is anywhere between 3.1-3.7v depending on the battery but usually around 3.5v.

    Cotten wicks or ss mesh ?

    I'll save you the trouble - chromium VI oxide is the bad guy, it amounts to around 0.016% in the chrome layer grown by 316L SS which considering the thickness of the layer(20nm or so after what vapers do with it) would take the combined shavings of around 5000 wicks to kill a mouse.

    Cotten wicks or ss mesh ?

    he said it was oxidation, chromium oxide in such quantities that it could break off and be visible in your tank would be a real problem since some of it is toxic. Its a physical impossibility for it to be a product of the mesh, if its not burnt juice then what else could it be? Also if it was ss...

    Cotten wicks or ss mesh ?

    ss does build up gunk eventually(every other week or so) but just dryburn and blow on it and it flies right off, i haven't rolled a new coil for months

    Cotten wicks or ss mesh ?

    low heat propane torches eject carbon at the tip of the flame which must have gotten stuck on the mesh, fortunately its completely harmless. It can be avoided though by using a sharper nozzle or by torching at an angle mid way though the flame. Whether you are done or not, spreading false...

    Cotten wicks or ss mesh ?

    Chromium oxide is a very translucent white and the quantities produced by oxidizing ss are pretty much invisible anyway. What you saw was probably bits of carbon left behind from burnt juice. The metal taste was most likely oil from machining either the mesh or resistance wire, it goes away soon...

    So is VG only bad for your health or what?

    Nobody can tell you if VG is safe or not, if they do and you believe them then that makes you an idiot. The toxicology and short term studies suggest inhaling either vg or pg is fairly harmless but same can be said for aluminum dust which some decades later turned out to clog up lungs and...

    Why B&M stores have to be higher priced. Should Manufacturers have minimum pricing?

    Nobody forced b&m to have physical stores, keeping those up is their choice and if you want to buy from there thats your choice. The problem with physical stores is that they have become obsolete, for buying stuff the only things that matter are the product and its price. If you want to sell...

    Coconut.. ?

    perfumers apprentice coconut chocolate is probably my fav coconut related flavoring. At first vape its more like odd kind of toffee but a few days in it turns into coconut and a few days after that you get the chocolate part and then it keeps swinging back and forth. Its one of the few flavors...
