    Hey all...fresh meat with a question!

    If it is firing slowly AND still burning at that setting, either the coils/device are no good or too powerful for your vaping style, such as not pulling enough air through it. When a coil is a little too large for your airflow and technique, it gets set more or less to the exact same power as a...

    Series regulated, have I been calculating wrong?

    Just because the batteries are in series doesn't mean the mod even allows you to set it for 8.4 V. The one I could look said the max. output is 7.5V. It also says the battery voltage range is 6.2-8.4V but doesn't say if it can actually boost voltage or it just quits or sags earlier if you set it...

    Boost technology in a regulated mod; who can explain how it works?

    The simplest way to understand it is a transformer, depending on how many wraps of wire are on each side it can convert low to high voltage or vice versa, with a corresponding change of current so it doesn't violate conservation of energy principles. Of course a transformer only works on AC...

    Series mech box or pwm with potentiometer

    "its way cheaper to build your own" -- actually from what I've seen, if you use good parts to make it, some of the recent regulated mods are cheaper. And that's before the hospital bills. Most of them can put out higher voltages, although check before you buy. PWM isn't actually regulated in...

    FDA Vape shops sue to block U.S. regulation covering e-cigarettes

    Seems like they'd have the best case on 1st amendment if someone actually got arrested, making the case specific, also preferably for an ad crafted for this purpose, rather than in general. Last ad with a "claim" I heard said vaping is less "gross" than smoking, I'd like to see the FDA say they...

    Its time to be real with myself...

    Not only is it not just about the nicotine, to say nicotine was the thing in cigs I tolerated to get the other chemicals would only be a slight exaggeration. Acting like it should be easy and that everyone is the same is not helpful. I was at 3 cigs/day for a month, and also 4/day and 2/day that...

    Blue Headings

    Where is the OLD STYLE? "ECF" reduces the font size, and no I don't want some video game forum dark background.

    How many watts should i vape my coil build?

    None of this is the way it works, or should work at least. The first action is determining power, then choosing a drip tip, then an appropriate atty and finally coil(s). Of course, determining all of this does require actually trying things. But realize the center revolves around is what you...

    Got written up for vaping inside at work

    Your attitude doesn't seem good about this and may be part of the problem. I'd say there is some variation with context. Finally, on your 5th post you do give some context, but that's all but the end of it: "No one was around customer never seem me drag in front of them do it in bathroom where...

    Dilluting nicotine....?

    I do similar except I only get out 10 ml of 100 mg nic from the freezer and dilute to 20 ml of 50 mg for my working bottle, which isn't kept cold and is still fine for the 2 months or so that lasts. Yeah I don't use a lot. I don't use gloves with the 50 mg or any more care than I would with a...

    Different wire types...reasons to choose a particular wire material?

    I've actually put the same size coil in my RDA of all 3 main materials and they vaped identical. The only difference is SS does tend to pop more at first due to something about the surface, but this goes away quickly, and the advantages offset it. Technically, Nichrome has the greatest density...

    Bandy vape maze "RDA"

    That's kind of interesting, although no options for me. With a RDA you must expect to have to keep it upright mostly, it's just wide open. This one is a RDTA or "dripper tank" but most of them are better about leaking while I think this one's a lot worse. The airflow comes in right above the...

    RDA regulated mod, lost need help!

    Seems like you're using 4 mm, it looks too big for 3 mm and the math doesn't work out right: Coil wrapping | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators (link includes settings already). Power you're using is high for them unless you are taking short drags and not letting it reach full heat, or there...

    RDA ohm variance

    ^^-- I think that should be 2500 mah, not 2500 mA (2.5 A). ;) Higher resistance than expected could at least be contacts, etc.; lower than expected probably should be explained before trying it.

    How to offset bitterness of PG?

    PG is not more bitter than VG. PG does not carry all flavors better than VG. PG carries bitter flavors better than VG. Therefore, it gives the impression of bitterness. Depending on the amount of PG increase, you can decrease flavoring although some parts of the flavoring will be weaker. Last...

    We still have a long way to go....(Public opinion on the long-term safety of vaping)

    There's nothing in vapor that's not in cigarettes: PG, VG, nicotine, flavorings. However, many of those ingredients are unsafe when burned. There is a wider variation of flavorings, but they are almost all food grade. If they're in the US and smoke manufactured cigarettes, do they realize...

    Question about NET juices

    NETs are flavoring, WTAs are a form of nicotine that may have a slight flavor. The only substantial relation is extraction from tobacco. n-e-t .com has done testing of their NETs and they actually test the extract rather than ejuice made from it for greater sensitivity. Trace levels of TSNAs...

    ejuice has white ring at top

    Could have some sediment in the flavor. However, the first hard shake can be a little frothy, shake well and let sit again.

    questions and confusion about DiY before i get started....

    ^^-- 6% x 100 mg/ml (10%) = 6 mg. 6% x 1000 mg/ml = 60 mg. Re: unflavored, if the nic is strong it's some good stuff. If you were comparing to 18 or 24 mg commercial juice, unflavored with the nic will come closer than flavors and no nic, or at least be more satisfying. At 6 mg through a...

    Good tobacco flavor

    A great background, sweet flavor is Hangsen Virginia. This along with Tobacco Absolutes was the turning point for me in making some satisfying tobaccos. The Inawera TA Garuda is in the most of my blends, but it still took over a year to finish a 10 ml bottle. My main mix of it is 1-1.2% with...
