    Research claims vape nic more addicting than cig nic

    I guess what I am saying is that I am definitely addicted to nicotine in vapor. I love it. I admit, vaping is a dependency for me. And so I am saying that unless I am the only person dependent on e-juice with nicotine, then there has to be some addictive properties to it. I would assume it...

    Underaged teenagers ask strangers to buy them e-cigarettes;

    What if it was someone with a broken leg asking to buy him something without age-restriction, like milk? Would you buy it for him? Because this is kind of going out of your way for a stranger with a disability who shouldn't really be shopping for milk by himself anyway if he can't walk in the...

    Research claims vape nic more addicting than cig nic

    Withdrawal symptoms are a whole separate issue. In my case, a withdrawal symptom would be a prevalent desire to find more nicotine. But I do believe that a major reason nicotine in cigarettes is addictive is due to the delivery method. The same delivery method as vaping. So, it seems...

    Research claims vape nic more addicting than cig nic

    I don't know about vaping being more or less addictive than smoking, but nicotine is addictive in vapor, at least to me. Inhaling it directly into my lungs makes me feel good. I am addicted to it. So what? Why is that a problem? I think that regulation should be fought by showing that...

    PSA: Cherry Bomber mech box mod is just that.. A bomb. Do not use.

    I actually just found this picture of the top of that mcv raptor: So, it does work exactly the same way. Its basically a little bit shorter Cherry Bomber with more easily removable batteries (no screwdriver required). I am glad that they stuck with a great design. The screws in the top cap...

    Mech users, help me make upcoming battery shootouts more useful for you!

    The voltage drop depends on the resistance. But your numbers put the battery under load at around 3V. I am also a mech user and agree that the mod is still vaping at this point, especially if this is still a high wattage given the amount of amps running through the circuit. I don't think a...

    PSA: Cherry Bomber mech box mod is just that.. A bomb. Do not use.

    I was just looking at this full mechanical box on the MCV facebook page: I can't find much information about it, but just from the way the switch is placed (right under where the atomizer would mount) and the delrin on the top, I bet that it works just like the CB. Maybe this would make people...

    looks like the party's ending for BT.

    I don't think it has peaked. I bet they make a lot more money selling multiple products to hobbyist vapers than they do selling a cigalike to a curious smoker who might not even like it.

    looks like the party's ending for BT.

    I never made fun of his choice. I said I know a guy who vapes cigalikes and thinks that tanks and rdas are silly. He likes something that looks like a cigarette and inhales like a cigarette and tastes like tobacco. I said that there are probably more people like him and this is probably the...

    PSA: Cherry Bomber mech box mod is just that.. A bomb. Do not use.

    There is no Cherry Bomber v2. This is only cloners making money off the cherry bomber name / logo printed on a box with wires.

    What to do with disappointing flavours?

    I generally stick with premium blends (the brands that only make a small amount of flavors, they don't come in high nicotine concentrations, and generally are in glass bottles). Due to this, I don't get juice that is not vapeable. But if it is something that is not quite as awesome as other...

    Why wattage, what we care about is current!

    According to steam engine it requires a resistance between 0.15 and 0.49 ohm.

    RDA Anarchist wire?

    nichrome80 has a lower resistance than kanthal. I usually use it when I want to put more wraps on a coil and have it the same resistance as the same gauge kanthal with 2 less wraps. Its also more malleable, so the nichrome is easier to wrap, but the coils are easier to get messed up after they...

    mech mods and rda

    I mean, I picked up some good authentics from those acutal shops in UK, vape emporium and grey haze. But almost all of the shops I have access to in North Yorkshire sell only clones. Many clones are excellent quality. Some are garbage. If the shop knows the manufacturer of the clone, you...

    PSA: Cherry Bomber mech box mod is just that.. A bomb. Do not use.

    I'm never said it was impossible to do. Just that is usually requires some intention and planning to make it work. But yes, given the right kind of unplanned events to randomly happen in the right order and in a very specific way, it is possible for something to happen that would cause the...

    mech mods and rda

    I am currently in the UK. Most of the vape shops near where I live sell clones only. vapeemporium.com and greyhaze.co.uk have a few nice authentics though. As for clones, its about regular price for a decent clone. I am sure you can find cheaper clones if you wanted... not all clones are the...

    PSA: Cherry Bomber mech box mod is just that.. A bomb. Do not use.

    What i was trying to convey was that the cb doesn't fire accidentally, like the revolver in your example. If using the revolver, it would be like a gun that will bypass the trigger mechanism if you jam and hammer a piece of metal into the back of a bullet while loaded in the revolver... The...

    PSA: Cherry Bomber mech box mod is just that.. A bomb. Do not use.

    OK, but there are a lot of things in the world that have designs that were chosen despite the fact that they are less safe than other designs. I think that all of the different options should be readily available and the user should be able to choose exactly what product he wants with whatever...

    looks like the party's ending for BT.

    There is a guy from my work who vapes a cigalike. He has been using it for at least a year now and is probably the only person I know still vaping such thing. I don't usually talk to him, but his reactions to my conversations with other vapers lead me to believe that he thinks any flavor that...

    PSA: Cherry Bomber mech box mod is just that.. A bomb. Do not use.

    Look, I've got a ton of mods. Not as many as Bad Ninja, but well over 30 mechanicals. I know how they all work perfectly. I know which ones don't work as well in certain circumstances. I have a few that are really not my favorites due to the way the switch works or the 510 pin sits or how...
