    What is a good RDA for beginners?

    If you want flavor and don't need big vapor, avoid anything with the big chuff caps. If you're vaping through giant devices already, then ignore this.

    help to quit smoking

    It sounds like you're making progress. As others have said, if you want to accelerate this there's no substitute for willpower. If that's not forthcoming I don't think it has to be a problem, it's just going to take longer, and therefore one has to Believe longer, not get discouraged. Even if...

    nicotine with 10% water

    PG and water will both make it thinner and theoretically lower vaping temperature, so it would make sense to reduce PG due to water. If you want to know exactly how much, you'd need to calculate that, but it's easier after you have the recipe.

    Provaping verse Antivaping

    I was passing my first Gallonaversery, PG/VG DIY-wise that is, thinking about how much that is. Actually it's just over 8 pounds and it took at least a year. A heavy smoker might use about 8 pounds of tobacco in a year ( I used about 4), burning it and inhaling. So for what's it's worth, the...

    New to flavorings... advice, best brands, ect.

    ^^-- I don't have anything between 10 and 20%. My Candy Apple for clearo is 21-23% because of the 2 added sweeteners, many single flavors are 5%, Flavorart more like 1.5%, some complex mixes with 2 or more flavorings are less than 3% total, French pipe SC is .5%, and if I use M-type in a mix it...

    New to flavorings... advice, best brands, ect.

    Good try but first of all I don't mix 15% flavor or fill 30 ml bottles, I shoot for 25-26 ml to leave shake room. I think they're adjusting the mix for you to compensate for that high flavor level. The other stuff on their site is higher priced. OK buttt.... And yes you can go max VG, it's...

    New to flavorings... advice, best brands, ect.

    It's terrible idea in that I think you had it backwards (originally -- you're already making progress). To adapt a full flavored liquid to higher juice usage, more refined tastes etc., it needs to be diluted for less flavor concentration, also possibly moved towards high VG, low nic if not...

    Evod 1 reliability issues.

    I've had gunk buildup, more in Protanks (2 mini) as they last longer in the first place. I don't really expect a $2 EVOD tank to last more than a year. An old bit of guitar string fixes it (small wound string preferred). I don't see how blocked holes would kill them, that would be obtrusive by...

    Afraid of Smoldering Combustion.

    The effect of small amounts of carbon monoxide is a short term improvement of some desirable body chemicals (trace levels e.g. <1 drag, all I remember of that, saw it here). The primary permanent negative effect is death, which it appears you escaped so far.

    Can you recommend a tank that has long lasting coils using eleaf iStick40 TC Mod?

    Most of the original style Nautiluses would have been made before the BVC ("vertical", actually chimney), good chance it had BDCs (Bottom Dual Coils). Not that I've owned one. Or some other difference such as resistance, which would make it run different.

    Should I start vaping?

    I've had pains right there and if I push on it, it feels 10x worse. If you go to the ER they will put you through $5000 of heart tests automatically, when both my intuition and experience (total $10000) says that has nothing to do with it. In my case, they also made no effort whatsoever to...

    Looking for a replacement RY4

    I'm starting to experiment with adding a little of the RY4 Asian to the RY4 Double. I originally thought the Asian was mild, but it does have a definite burnt caramel flavor (and corresponding lingering aftertaste/smell). Mix was 2% RY4D, .2% RY4A, .2% TA Garuda, had to dilute that a bit, next...

    how to know age of e-liquid

    When it turns dark (if it didn't start that way) it's usually going bad and will taste off. I've had juices start turning dark fairly soon after buying, who knows if they were old already, and some last years. Other than that, some juices will get better for a long time, others peak out fairly soon.

    Do you think vapers get a bad rep??

    Aren't planning on quitting? Wasn't planning on quitting cigs actually.. "I heard..." Follow the money. Many governments and large powerful companies stand lose a lot of it. And then there's the rabid media, perhaps the best example was the supposed boy in the balloon that interrupted TV a...

    Hi all, how to properly vape for a lung hit? Very confused

    If I guess the SMOK is capable of producing 10 times the vapor, you would need 1.1 mg ejuice on it to match the Hangsen in the iTaste. You would also need 7/93 PG/VG (note the units) to match the throat hit of the 70/30 PG/VG in the respective devices. The difference isn't that large but you get...

    Taste-testing - better way?

    Since I vape an RDA anyway, I just drip a freeform flavor adventure from flavor to flavor, but this of course leads you to flavors that work best like that -- if a preset flavor combination can even match some the flavors that happen dynamically. It's not even chaos anymore, it's a sort of...

    E-liquid inhaling?

    ^^-- yeah it has to be either of spitback/spitting or just a difference of sensation in the throat. Also a vape can feel wet if it becomes weak and the atomized droplet size gets larger, or likewise when dialing down a too powerful atomizer. The normal irritation of the throat from vaping is...

    Sweet, candy like apple flavor

    Flavorings are usually not sweetened, after all a popular use would be to make candy by adding the flavoring to solid sugar. You can sweeten the juice with sucralose sweetener. You can add a candy flavor with Ethyl Maltol, otherwise known as Cotton Candy flavor. Something may be available with...

    Where is my cream?

    There can be a difference of balance, but that can vary with device at a single power level too. What 5 watts type power levels do is partially just limit the flavor, essentially diluting it with air if you slipstream in more around the mouthpiece, or sort of with nothing at all. So the flavor...
