    Steam engine,AWG,clouds i cant get what i want

    The coil resistance, by itself, tells you nothing about the coil or the vape. With most setups you can make some assumptions and therefore the resistance tells you a little. But you really need to know something else about it, such as wire type/size and number of coils. Then resistance can be...

    Flavor Percent

    0.5-5% for most devices, 4-25% for low power style vapes, although the only one I do over 20% includes 2 sweeteners, the actual flavoring is 9%. Conceivably, a combination of small amounts of several flavors could require a higher total, but the combinations I prefer increase flavor and can be...

    Are these flavors safe (new to vaping heard of diacetyl and Pentanedione)

    They wouldn't be able to claim it's healthier due to an ingredient or lack thereof. If a juice causes any immediate breathing issue, it's more likely due to substitution of butyric acid for DA or APr. DA has anecdotally been described as the least irritating of the butter notes, despite long...

    Looking for cig-a-like ecigs with liquids made in the USA

    Considered among the least rip-off of cig-a-likes: Smokeless Image | The Best Electronic Cigarette Comes with prefilled cartos, but they carry cheap blanks (and juice) to use what you want, for high nic like Vuse try nicotine salts liquid such as Mr. Salt-E

    When is it time to switch to lower nicotine ?

    I took 9 months to transition because pure nic (vapor) didn't do it for me. A month or two later I realized I still wasn't that fond of nicotine and cut my 12 mg @5W to 6 mg, and my 6 mg @15W to less than 2 mg, overnight. Some seem to need more than I can even tolerate.

    Is vaping safe ?

    Perhaps easier is explaining how many organizations are facing a loss of money and they'll understand better why so many are against it.

    New to vaping but had strange experience.

    I've never heard any claim that Vuse uses nic salts. Reviewers have hated the Vuse and loved the Juul in one sitting. Vuse definitely is strong and geared toward still-smokers I think.

    Low volume of vapor

    CE4 clearomizers like that are usually disposable, the coil doesn't last forever and will get weak and/or burnt tasting. As well as being minimal at the best of times. You could use that battery unit for some slightly better clearos. A device set up to make a lot of vapor can easily burn if...

    Tobacco to Flavor Percent

    I like my dripping tobaccos light, so actually I've gone down to 10% extract or less standalone, and hybrids more like .5% . This is using MyVapeJuice extracts (no longer avail.).

    Question about Batteries

    I disagree about calculating needed battery ratings with regulated mods. You should use what the manufacturer recommends, period. If the manufacturer specifies ratings that are unobtainable, or it doesn't add up, or there is no such specification, you should not use the mod. The one exception is...

    Anyone remember when a "starter kit" was actually for beginners?

    I provided EVODs to a couple of people and one person used it some awhile and went back to smoking. Recently he went out to the vape shop and spent over $100 on a new SMOK kit and seems to be using regularly and not smoking. He's in his 50's and poor too. I think he needed at least a bit more...

    Am I tobacco free?

    Actually someone found a statement by Anthem a few years ago that vaping wasn't considered smoking at that time. Kaiser Permanente had a representative saying online that vaping may be considered tobacco use, even though surely the person knew there was no maybes about it -- if she didn't know...

    Am I tobacco free?

    In the case of Obamacare rules, you are a tobacco user if you consume more than 4 cigs a week. However, no guidance is provided on converting any other type of tobacco use to amount. I would guess at my current level of use: 10 cigs/wk nicotine, maybe 10 cigs/wk or less formaldehyde (I use low...

    Voltage VS Watts?

    If it's closer to battery voltage it will be somewhat more efficient in its voltage/power conversion. However the difference is largest when efficiency is less important and the opposite of the OP's case, e.g. running a low ohm coil at low power, resulting in low voltage. If going for a higher...

    After This Much Pound Cake

    There's not necessarily any burnt cotton involved, it's gunk. Flavorings seperate and then cook on the coil. I noticed that a flavor (Toasted Marshmallow) seems to have a concentration threshold for gunking. Around 8%, my coil and wick became unusable in less than 24 hours. At 4% or less no...

    Something I don't understand.....

    A lot of it is historical. With a mech mod or other straight battery voltage mod, the resistance is an indicator of power (low Ω = high power). In fact, since the battery voltage changes, you don't know the exact power but you can know the exact resistance. Even here, ohms doesn't tell you...

    Anyone remember when a "starter kit" was actually for beginners?

    ^^-- you almost had me agreeing until you said the tip was too small a bore, LOL. I never even thought about the being small part, in fact the coil units look to me like giant monstrousities, plus even people that actually like that style of tank say it's not that good either. So while I guess...

    Euston station closed because of ecig smoking in a bag

    Did it actually explode, or was it just vapor coming out? :unsure:

    Anyone remember when a "starter kit" was actually for beginners?

    ^^-- I would definitely not recommend the Melo III for someone wanting a good vape experience, and it's tragic such a good mod tends to come with such a useless tank. More modern stuff is probably a good choice for the younger crowd with young lungs and a need to be impressed, but not for most...

    wta usage ?

    If you're trying to maximize WTA and minimize nicotine, yes add it to 0 mg juice, presumably flavored of your choice. If you want more nicotine than that without using up the WTA, or having to use so much WTA it dilutes the flavor, the base juice needs its own nicotine as well. I tried the...
