    Nautilus by Aspire

    Welcome James! Sorry to hear about your difficulties. My full-size Nautilus has been my main vape for almost a year on construction sites and whatnot without a problem. I've used a compressor to blow wood chips and sawdust out of the airtube and drip tip on occasion, but I don't recall ever...

    FDA Big news coming out of FDA

    Smoking cigarettes is medically described as "Tobacco Use Disorder". Seems to me a very fine line could easily be crossed here with regard to claims vs intended outcomes if one were to push hard enough. And who is to be tasked with setting the boundaries of 'therapeutic' use? Thanks for the...

    FDA Big news coming out of FDA

    An outright 'ban' of anything vape-related is not in the best interests of the various governments, or their agencies. Regulatory control is what they seek, and the financial gains that will follow. They feel left out, and they're doing what they do best to try and get in the game.

    "It only takes ONE bad chemical"

    If one is inclined to rewrite the Constitution and the Bill of Rights for the US, might as well rewrite the Hippocratic oath as well.

    The "powers-that-be" are going to keep throwing stuff out there to see what sticks. Stand together, folks. We're not done yet.

    "It only takes ONE bad chemical"

    Extend this to commercial air travel and every aircraft would be covered with paper 'stickies' stating the known and unknown risks inherent in flying. No one would ever get anywhere.

    67% Vape Tax in D.C.

    Remember Marion Barry. The man appointed to rid the District of illegal drugs. That didn't work very well.

    "It only takes ONE bad chemical"

    Where do you put your trust? The government tends to do what is best for the government. The businesses do what is best for business. I would wish to remain free to do what I consider best for me. The government does not like my view on this. Removing freedom of choice is not a tenable solution.

    Safe charging??

    Even with a pair of batteries the setup is only as good as the weakest battery. If one ends up not pulling its share of the load, the other will be tasked with taking up the slack, whether in series or parallel. Multi-battery mods require even more care in cell selection and treatment, IMHO.

    BVC Coil Dead After 4 Days...

    I've been using Nautilus tanks exclusively while working over the last 10 months or so (arborist/carpenter) and haven't noticed an issue. Then again, I bought several dozen packs of coils back then as well, and haven't gotten into any newer packs. It's a work-horse set-up for me. Hope it never...

    BVC Coil Dead After 4 Days...

    The BVC's can be rebuilt, but it's a bit of a pita. :( There's a good video from a guy who uses a small machine screw to wrap a nicely-spaced coil and get it wicked and inserted into the barrel. Low power, light wire and minimal wicking seems to work okay if you want to give it a try. :)
