    Kicking Cable to the Curb

    Presume you're talking about: Which is the same type of antenna I was talking about a page ago. To get 150 miles you have to be on top of a mountain or something. I'm getting 50 miles at up to 98% signal strength but when I try to get stations to the north at 60 miles or more I can't find...

    Kicking Cable to the Curb

    No, my house has cable wiring that goes outside so attic wouldn't have really been easier (though more protected). I did try rabbit ears including ones on a mast extension outside. Proper rabbit ears, not the kind with a UHF loop, spread wide, can be very effective for digital if positioned...

    Kicking Cable to the Curb

    This seems to be turning into the Kodi thread but here's a couple items of interest for over-the-air TV: The over-the-air DVR. Some external tuners, maybe even some TVs for all I know, can record digital broadcasts. I have the Mediasonic HW180 and there's also the Ematic that can be had for...

    How long are your draws (finger on fire button)?

    A couple said they do longer DL hits than MTL, which seems odd unless DL is "going for it" and MTL is laying back. 14W loose MTL/hybrid 5-10 seconds. Also 5.2W MTL on my EVOD usually two 4-5 second fires .5 second apart, sometimes more, and with the tank on a weak mech I've done circular...

    E-liquid

    Actually tobacco extracts (NETs) tend to do very well on tests for TSNAs and also typical e-juice concerns such as diacetyl. Clay at NET.com has his extracts tested rather than diluted in ejuice for greater sensitivity. NETs contain insignificant nicotine. They do contain some sugars.

    Switching from VUSE to somthing else. Need advice!

    Everybody has 6 mg/ml. Some have 3 mg/ml however most of that is high VG which may be to thick too wick into small coils sufficiently. Also you can mix half-and-half with 0 mg of the same flavor or unflavored, or use a small amount of unflavored for the nicotine part, or dilute with PG or VG for...

    Switching from VUSE to somthing else. Need advice!

    You shouldn't have to mix your own juice (if you don't want to) to get less nicotine than Vuse. Their liquid is 48 mg/ml, but it doesn't put out much vapor (its flavor is mostly nicotine). Use a liquid with 1/8 or even 1/16th the nic concentration and a device that uses 2-4 times as much of it...

    Hi! Is an old, but never used, e-cig ok?

    I've used juices over 2 years old many times. If it turns dark it usually will taste "off" but that looks OK. As to cleaning the coil unit randomly, I wouldn't, doesn't help and takes about 3 days to dry out and tastes messed up otherwise.

    RDA Troubleshooting an rda problem, unstable electrical behavior

    After over a year of heavy use and a couple years owning it, I finally had to take the center pin out on my RDA and clean it. I was getting small random resistance changes, don't know why, but it fixed it. This was the regular screw and hole style post so I put a 1/16" drill bit in the hole to...

    FEB CONTEST..............FDA and US give me your take on it

    I believe an FDA evaluated e-cig would be very popular, if any good, even without banning everything else.

    Getting it All Together! Informed Vaping!

    There's been very little change in what determines safety, just more to apply it to. Not only that, the current scene is actually more like frozen than advancing. Generally, if you drive a basic car below the speed limit you'll be safe even if it's a piece of junk, but if you want to drive a...

    New Member - Vaping or Cold Turkey - Help me out guys

    The pure nicotine of vaping is far less addictive. After a long period of dual use, once I was vape only I didn't taper off the nicotine, I slashed the levels overnight. It's just not that appealing without the whole tobacco cocktail. During the dual use period I never once went backwards, it's...

    New York City tobacco/head shops

    Does she like the Special Blend because of not really liking most other cigs, or does she really love them? I've had people tell me they'd switch if the taste was exactly the same, only to say a minute later that they don't really like the taste of smoking. Some sort of mixture of Puritanism and...

    they just do not care?

    We need to educate people that the Tobacco Control Act basically says old=good, new=bad. When that's what the law says, it's extremely dishonest to call applying it to vaping "equal treatment". (I'd argue that since the TCA assumes everything it applies to are as bad or worse than legacy tobacco...

    Building with SS316L vs Kanthal

    Actually mass will only change the speed to reach temperature, if the power input is the same and the surface area and shape of the coil is the same, the results will be the same just at a slightly different time, for example with denser SS maybe .2 seconds later. On a mech, resistance IS your...

    Kabuki on a mech?

    ^^-- pbusuardo said he liked the Kabuki flavor more, which seems unbelievable to me, and also that the Nautilus was the worst looking compared to the Kabuki or the N. X, which is insane! The Kabuki (et al) on a mech might be weak as soon as the battery starts to go down, but if you like long...

    Looking to get into vaping, have no clue where to start

    Starter Kits gives a pretty good list, not complete but not overwhelming: The Kanger Topbox (and Subox) are often recommended now, it gives the biggest vapor of anything on this page, kind of loose draw, great deal since it includes a rebuildable deck as well as using their premade coils. The...

    Is there a way out?

    I found right away I liked the flavors and experience of vaping more than smoking but still loved smoking and it has a stronger effect -- stronger nic in the vape hurts my throat and my head. Plus, just couldn't grasp the concept of not smoking. I ended up realizing I couldn't really see how...

    Class Action Exploding Devices

    The FDA or other government entity could have released recommendations or info about the problems with mechs. There is no need to ban anything, in fact that kind of activity destroys their credibility. But they don't seem interested in improving anything in any way they can't make mandatory...

    I signed up a while back

    I don't understand why they don't just print news of the embargo instead, call out their competition. Every time.
