    Vape tastes like it's shocking my mouth and throat

    If you are getting a shock, like as if you sucked on a 9v battery, then it is either the tank or the mod. nicotine doesn't cause electric shocks, but a short will. Its also could be dangerous and may not be safe for those internal batteries.

    Vape tastes like it's shocking my mouth and throat

    Thats not how an unregulated mod works. It essentially works like a mech mod, except this one is supposed to have built in protection. The fully charged batteries are going to put out 4.2 volt. Using ohms law, with a .5 ohm coil, the mod will put out about 35 watts at theoretical best (it...

    Vape tastes like it's shocking my mouth and throat

    I know what an electric shock feels like, although I have never experienced it while vaping. I've done it before when putting in some ceiling fans without switching off the mains power. And I've done it when pulling out a plug before from the wall socket. I doubt it felt like that or you...

    How can you tell where the "fire" button is ? - looking for a new mod...

    It think it depends on how one likes to hold the tube. If you hold it like a popsicle, then you probably prefer a side button. But if you hold it in the crevice between your thumb and index finger (like a nunchuck), then the bottom button is right there where your finger is anyway.

    MutationX V3 on Mech Tube

    thanks. I've got a gold mutation too, but can't find any good pictures of it right now. The one posted pics are with a XXIX mod. It hits hard. Definitely you can still make clouds with a single 18650 tube.

    Finding the right flavor

    I can't think of any flavors that are good at high nicotine levels. My advice would be to upgrade your hardware so you can drop the nicotine in the juice (but still get the same nicotine). Then you will realize a new world of flavors.

    Where did your vaping begin?

    I started with some ego-style batteries and a few kanger mini-protanks. After a few weeks, I got a couple nautilus clearomizers, a few different kanger aerotanks, an istaste 134 and a Vamo. After a few weeks of that, I started collecting mech mods and RDAs. I am still obsessed with mech mods...

    Do you do mouth to lung or lung inhales?

    I prefer massive flavor and warm dense clouds, way more than is possible with a mouth hit, and I only use RDAs, so obviously lung hits only.

    HELP - how do you make bigger CLOUDS?

    use an RDA and a high power box (or a copper mechanical). build good coils at low resistances (keep in mind the CDR for your batteries). wick the coils to allow good airflow. open the airflow as much as possible. use a wide-bore top cap. Thats it really. Clouds are easy.

    New member Baltimore MD

    Hello, I just moved to an apartment in Columbia, which is very close to where you are. I am still in the moving-in process and the movers haven't brought all of my furniture yet even. I have a fairly large collection, but have two mechs and two RDAs with me right now until all of my stuff gets...

    Vaping for nicotine advantages?

    I don't think I said that anyone else was dependent on vaping. I said that I am dependent. I don't leave the house with out it. I vape every day. The time that I leave the house and run out of vapor is a time that I am upset. I try to find spots to vape sneakily sometimes when I am somewhere...

    Vaping for nicotine advantages?

    I agree with this. But I don't think there are any significant negative health issues resulting from nicotine addiction. Therefore, the benefit of feeling great seems to be an unmistakably positive effect to me. Its awesome, and I recommend it. The non-vapers are missing out.

    trying to understand ohms and sub ohm vaping

    I think what I said was a bit misconstrued. I was talking about wire gauges and adding coils to reduce resistance... what I meant was that taking one single coil of say, 24g 6-wraps and you will be around .42 ohm. If adding a second identical coil, you reduce the resistance to .21 ohm, and...

    trying to understand ohms and sub ohm vaping

    The resistances are most critical when using a mech or other unregulated mod. You need to build low to get more watts out of the device. When using a regulated mod, you don't really need to build low, but a certain specific ohm range (usually pretty low) is required to reach the maximum...

    Vaping for nicotine advantages?

    I have always noticed positive effects from nicotine, ever since I have been addicted to it, which is about 20 years. It makes me feel good. It improves my performance at all things. Work is more enjoyable with nicotine. Relaxing at home is more enjoyable with nicotine. And it gives me...

    Vaping indoors - Yay or nay?

    It depends. Most cigarette smoking won't set off a smoke alarm. And tootle puffers won't do it either. But if you are vaping and making clouds with something like an RDA and a mod that generates a lot of power, you can easily set them off, especially in an enclosed space. It is doable if you...

    Vaping indoors - Yay or nay?

    I don't do it in many places even when I am the only one there, because it will fog up the windows and set off the smoke alarms.
