    Imr battery and lg warning labels

    We had a thread about the Sonys here also. This thing about "battery packs" is a cop-out because the relevant purpose of proprietary packs is to insure that lesser cells are not substituted. If you make some of the best cells for the purpose, this should not be a problem. Another problem with...

    Question for Chain Vapers

    Once the coil is saturated, a lot of juice will have to burn before it really does much to the cotton. When I first started using a dripper I got severely burnt hits almost routinely due to forgetting to drip and it recovers fine, but this was not at all overpowered with the coil properly wet...

    Vaping is harmful?

    The simple old experiment is to exhale vapor into a cloth, and cig smoke into another cloth. See which residue you'd rather inhale. As a refinement, then rinse both out with water and let dry and compare again. A weird argument I came up with possibly against vaping is that if you actually look...

    Question for Chain Vapers

    If you're really "burning" them, you have too much power. Sure you can crank it up if you only hold the fire button for 1-2 seconds, but for long drags, chain vaping etc. you need to set it much different, almost half the power setting, and/or use TC. Even then, there may be a need to manually...

    What about the smell?

    A couple of the Inawera tobaccos leave a smell like cat pee, horrendous, but other than that, I might notice a sudden blast of marshmallow right when the shower hits me. A lot of cops and military know vape and do it themselves. Result of non-athlete/smoker finding themselves in an athletic role.

    Dire need for help mixing inavera!

    Tobacco flavors can be awesome but vary greatly from horrible to the best vape there is. Since you have other flavorings, you can also make flavored tobaccos with that. Some combinations can get very strong, something like a weak fruit or creamy mix + 10-25% tobacco ejuice can be intense...

    Dire need for help mixing inavera!

    Stop smoking a couple months and you'll probably like the lighter mixes or even find them too strong. A light vape to me is pleasing and more like smoking, as much about texture as flavor. I know you're not there now, but it may help to have some sense of proportion and where it's going. As...

    Re-wick problem

    The only thing I can figure out is gunk can be a semiconductor, because usually the mod measures the same resistance with its low level test, yet it acts shorted as soon as you hit it with full power. Sometimes I really have to yank the windings apart to get them unstuck, and that's with a close...

    Why Nobody Leaves An Opinion

    Yes it's cheap to make and try a recipe, but there are reasons to limit it. Currently my DIY ejuice bottle sequence is up to #105 (some numbers retired) and that doesn't get into that some don't use a dripper to try flavors without bothering to change wicks. The total effort can be significant...

    DIY Production is a Go!

    Yeah Gratch is right, it can't be that complicated. Something's wrong. Are any of the flavorings pink or dark, which would indicate heat damage sometimes? Is there any chance they're not flavorings, but eliquids? FA does make them.

    questions about VW mods/watts/voltage

    They surely do have a maximum voltage and some have stated specs for it. Likewise, they have reduced power output into high resistances unless the listed maximum resistance is reduced to compensate. 8.4V wouldn't be unusual as a max, since power increases at the square of voltage that's four...

    DIY Production is a Go!

    I hear you, you can't do it now, but eventually you should acquire one bottle of FA flavoring from a different source, plus a couple bottles of another brand, nothing crazy at this point. Different flavor styles also e.g. Capella V1 Custard, tobacco. I've set aside far more flavors than I...

    Pay to vape?

    At Avail it's $1 for lifetime, if you don't lose your card. At another shop, the only let you smell the juices, no sampling. Different shops are dealing with the restriction in their own way, legalities are murky.

    Re- building a stock, throw away vertical coil, perfectly done.

    Yeah NR is surely nickel, nichrome is the original resistance wire. If you look at a BVC coil, the last wrap on each end is NR wire, acting as a former for the ends of the wicking.

    Question about TC (Temperature Control ) and NiCr coil....

    Setting the power correctly is essential to TC. With my Pico and proper TC wire, setting the power too high results in a weaker vape.

    Going to Be Taking a Nic Blood Test in a Couple Weeks for Work

    I think the main reason large companies like substance testing is it's "objective" information. So much in the hiring process is subjective and in a big company the people that run it doesn't hire most people, or even someone just under them, but down many levels. But there is at least the...

    Any one headed to Toronto to buy iQOS?

    Say, for the sake of argument, that this tastes better than a cig -- like the first drag every time -- as well as being much less harmful, and more enjoyable than regular vaping to a smoker. Isn't that worth paying even more than for cigs, if you can afford it? I tried a cheap heat-not-burn...

    Favorite tobacco flavoring discussion - Tobacco flavoring discussion only

    I'm using both. Hangsen's is weak but makes for a great rich base. The FA is sort of weird but distinctive. My VA mix is something like 2.5% Hangsen, .2% TA Garuda, .2% FA VA (2 drops per 25 ml); Virginia 7 subs out the FA VA for one drop 7 Leaves (which is easily the dominant flavor). RE: TFA...

    Diy Djuice flavour disappears after 1 day

    I've heard of this before and my guess is at first mix you're tasting "odd" flavors that steeping is supposed to take out, and haven't allowed the correct flavor to come in yet. If you're tasting them now after a few days, is it the same flavor? I don't rewick for different flavors on an RDA...

    Tobacco Flavor Question ?

    jambi, if I could "like" that twice I would. To me, tobacco flavors are most compatible with PG/VG and can be made to work with the base rather than against it, in light concentrations. Not the only way I like to vape tobacco, but really very evocative of smoking. If you can taste a lot of...
