    Flavor concentrates added to existing e juice

    Most commercial ejuices are considered overflavored and you should consider hardware (and matching technique) that extracts more flavor from the juice; most devices are very poor compared to what is possible. An exception is if you are using very low power, old school device and the ejuice is...

    Tfv4 octuple coils for baby beast tank do they guzzle e liquid

    If you compensate by taking far fewer hits, no not at all. Few do that though. Unless something is way off, the amount of vapor produced is almost exactly proportional to the watt-hours (or would watt-seconds be better here?) and liquid quantity used.

    Nic seperation

    It's nicotine and therefore would be very bad if it seperated somewhat and you didn't mix it. In addition, there have been a few reports on here that are best explained by nic solution seperation. With any bottle that is long-ish, I flip the bottle lengthwise a few times too to engage that...

    First time vape kit user. How do you clean tank for new flavors?

    If I'm not changing the coil I might empty out the tank but won't rinse. I don't rinse with water unless I have 12+ hours to dry and don't rinse coil units, plus I use filtered water and a final rinse with distilled water or PG or unflavored juice. Lately, as a DIY juice maker, I'm tending to...

    "Co-smoking"

    When I see some around here concerned that if they were to have one cig they'd go back, I'm actually sort of glad I quit through dual use. I changed my relationship to the cig not just abandoned it. The transition took 3/4 a year but I never backslided -- if I was smoking 4 a day, one day I...

    Plain And Simple - What are the Benefits And Negatives Of High PG Or High VG?

    The way I see it, people are now vaping about the same amount of PG as the old days, but more VG in their high-output devices. The PG is much lower in the ratio but multiply that by more juice. Generally a low output device will work better with 50/50 or higher PG and the bitterness of the PG...

    Series of short puffs instead of long draw to avoid burnt taste

    One thing is not to take short hits, but release the power button for 1/2 second and then keep going. I more use this on pen vapes where there is limited control, but it really is kind of optimum as long as the first hit can handle 4-5 seconds on the first pulse (something you have to pump the...

    Possible alternative we could push instead of FDA Regulations?

    I thought there was still at least one bill before Congress that would change things. Problem is they aren't very good, along with they're all statists with no conception of reasonable government. Further, the Deeming going into full effect has been delayed, and even after that the law could be...

    Possible alternative we could push instead of FDA Regulations?

    Then there's no purpose for this thread. Yes Congress would most likely need to fix the law. They made it, that's their responsibility to fix it.

    Possible alternative we could push instead of FDA Regulations?

    The sensible answer is that FDA evaluation be voluntary. Many would prefer to use products evaluated for safety, but these must compete against an unfettered free market. There is no need to use force to make evaluated products the only ones available. I'm sure there are many out there that...

    Preperations of going out.....

    Just my RDA mod, an EVOD in my pocket, plus at least one bottle of juice. Going for the day I do take an absurd amount of juice though, it's easier than thinking about it! There is a piece of cotton in my stuff bag, but I haven't needed it since TC and lower flavoring has upped my rewick...

    Hello! New to Vaping

    You could make the same coil in SS which would end up about 1 ohm, assuming the original was Kanthal, but if you tried using SS, Ti or Nickel (especially) to reach 1.8 it would probably take such a long skinny piece of wire you'd have trouble getting a wick in it. I did once make a #30 nickel...

    Drip or not??

    I've never seen anyone actually drip through the drip tip. Most take off the whole cap (or use a Mad Hatter). I remove the tip and drip through the hole, my drip tip's so restricted it needs excess juice removal at the same time (sit it on a paper towel). I use a mighty 16.3 watts in TC. I drip...

    Sterling method for best flavor

    I've had several but not DIY that I can remember. Partially the nature of what I make in plastic (e.g. single flavors, tests) vs. glass. I have one here that's gotten worse for sure though.

    Sterling method for best flavor

    I mix at low concentrations and usually find a couple hours or a day is enough to get it 90% there. Additional changes are often an improvement in quality, but subtle. Not only do I not steep anything 6 months, anything old that has become dark gets thrown out. And this is making mostly tobaccos...

    Hi to all and a newbie question

    Early on in vaping I got a cold and couldn't vape for a day. What I noticed when I restarted was the first hit was tough, but it wasn't actually hurting my throat much. It sets off the irritation, but doesn't particularly cause it. Smoking causes tiny scratches in the throat and liquid nicotine...

    Quitting vaping. Will I gain weight?

    From the description, I'm not sure she is consuming a very significant amount of nic or even vaping that much. If it's 6 mg/ml and a big tank though, could be more nic than me.

    ? How to keep the cotton from caving into a vertical coil build

    The (older) ones I've taken apart use NR (non-resistance) welded wire assemblies, the top and bottom wraps of the coil don't actually heat they just support the wick which can then stop right at the end of the coil.

    Cool Smell

    It's vapor, not smoke, and to make more of it you need a device designed for higher output, either tank or dripper style (tank is no limitation nowadays although I prefer dripper). It sounds like the NJoy is being pushed too hard, lack of wicking the ejuice or just the way it's set up. Burning...

    What uses more liquid, ohms or wattage?

    Agree, except mass and surface area don't exactly go together like that. They are related by the diameter (and type) of wire. On a mech, resistance is your power setting. In the regulated mods world, there are factors that "tend" to make power suitability of a coil related loosely to...
