    Converting Fahrenheit to watts

    If I can trust my Pico's display of temp using SS, no juice actually requires even 400 degrees. The main source of atomization is absorbed water droplets exploding, which boil at 212 degrees. PG can boil, but VG starts breaking down at lower temperature than its boiling point. I set my Pico to...

    Crispy Coils

    When I used Toasted Marshmallow at 6-7% flavoring, I couldn't even get 24 hours out of my coil. The gunk was thick and the wick gray and nasty. Maybe something else also changed, but later using 3% of the same flavoring I found no unusual tendency towards gunking whatsoever. I think that at 3%...

    FDA New FDA enforcement actions

    One thing kids probably love about it is being able to get away with something. This is going to become harder with the media blitz.

    that does not use pg,vg,peg that is small

    There seems to be no rule against discussing iQOS, which is a tobacco vaporizer. If you're going to get rid of (most of) the PG and VG, you either need another liquid or no liquid. ;) I have tried a cheap dry vaporizer with tobacco(!) and got a great taste -- once. As well as the other issues...

    Upgrade from EVOD?

    Large atomizer, low power, matching small coil is the coolest, but if not done right loses a lot of flavor (consider a tighter drip tip). If you are trying to mimic a large amount of smoke you can only take it down so far. So those different coils might work for you, but don't expect them to go...

    Upgrade from EVOD?

    Closing the airflow lowers the usable power but more air tends to be cooler even with a bit more power... and you have to actually use that wider airflow setting, pull through more air, for it to help (yes, the big sucking sound!). Also closing the air so you can get more vacuum is good if the...

    What's the best teeny mod?

    Vaporesso Swag can't fire below 30W in TC mode? That must be a joke!

    Temperature vaping question

    Any poor contact in the connectors etc. will be interpreted by the mod in TC as a large increase in temperature and will cause the TC to kick in. Also power setting is essential for TC to work correctly and I don't think the Kanger has it (it can end up like alternating between flooring the...

    Better Quality Ingredients?

    2 out of 20 is actually pretty good. The better ones may seem weak to you. When the flavor is in your face, every imperfection glares. A lot of the more pleasant flavors are a mix, avoiding too much of any one thing, concentrating on balance. There is a need to be picky about hardware too, to...

    FDA FDA Bans Pure and Highly Concentrated Caffeine

    ^^-- I'm currently using WL nic that's about 3 years old and spent its first 4 months at room temp. It's finally taking on the very slightest yellow tint.

    Unique Tobacco mix flavors?

    When asked what flavor profile I prefer, I reply fruity creamy tobaccos. That covers a lot. I use a sort of system when dripping. A light tobacco (DIY) I can vape all day but also dilutes anything excessive and mixes with everything. This is alternated with a wide range of mostly single flavor...

    Upgrade from EVOD?

    I've always been very picky about flavor since I started with EVODs. They produce a lot of flavor for how little vapor they put out, and they produce the right flavor with some tobacco flavors. However they have their own very slightly burny cottony taste which makes contrary flavors to its...

    Taste the rainbow

    Steeping, among other things, removes odd flavor notes. It seems like maybe all you can taste is the "odd" notes. The only other thing I can think of is you don't mix it well so most of the flavor gets used up front. Plus the normal issues of vape hardware and its flavor capabilities. At any...

    Intro - Been vaping for about 6 years - need advice

    I have similar issues and tend towards long drags, often gentle. What is needed is to constantly control the process, taste what it is doing, if it's getting dry hot and burny let go of the button. You can even keep vaping but back off the power 1/2 second and then press it again, or even time...

    CNN hit piece on teen vaping epidemic

    Phrases like "on the increase" are scare tactics because they tell you nothing you didn't know, it's NEW. I would hope adult use has increased at least 900% since 2011 and unless kids were way ahead of adults then, a 900% increase is still not large (in real usage, not just trying a Blu once...

    Nearest taste for Marlboro red 2018?

    For a 2018 Marlboro Fire Safety Cigarette or any other manufactured cigarette sellable in the 50 states, you would need a burning carpet glue flavor for a full emulation. Nobody makes it, I wouldn't recommend it, and definitely don't use the real thing. And no, they're not what you've been...

    Need help, know what I want but not how to get it

    I googled that thing and a site says "Atomizer compatibility: The arc mini 20W will not fire below 1.0ohm, when buying CS atomizer heads please purchase the 1.5ohm option. The 0.75ohm CS atomizer heads will not work." (If that's not where the link was to, maybe it was good the mods made it...

    SS wire.

    That's not enough info for someone to get the vape you want or what power capacity this coil would be for either, however yeah try 26 and 28 gauge in the calculator to see the possibilities, or just try it. I'm running #28 at .7Ω, with 8.5 wraps but on about 2.5 mm ID. Steam engine doesn't...

    DIY Juice... Too much trouble?

    It can become a "hobby" as defined as something you have a lot of stuff and little bits for. Not "messy" as in liquid but it can sprawl and 50 bottles of flavoring or ejuice does tend to have its smell. It can pack up fairly compact though. Plus, I had a failure pile of bought ejuices starting...
