    Who's idea was it to add a cannabis vaping section?

    A motivation for vaping THC is to get some of the harm reduction nic vapers do. It's surprising to see a claim they should just go back to smoking. And the smoke also contains vaporized oils, of course. Some of these, at least, are tolerated by the body. Liquids do have a risk that they are not...

    Which flavor probably contain Diacetyl?

    I Haven't seen any juice or flavoring for years that directly use diacetyl. Acetoin, Acetyl Proprionyl taste similar, butter notes, and can break down and form some diacetyl (4-10% of the original chemical amount), along with some fruit flavors. There was a claim here, which I haven't seen...

    Am I missing something?

    There is no issue when set too high only if it learns to ignore your setting. When you hit fire, at first there is nothing for it to go on but the setting or previous hits. That's the first symptom with the Pico, you can hear it taking off at that power and then pulling back. However the second...

    Am I missing something?

    With SS wire, it really isn't very accurate. But the higher temperature settings can also be the result of having the power set too high, so the temperature protects too much. With my Pico, I find it easily overcompensates, you might say it kind of bumps along instead of running smoothly. With...

    So...We Never liked it all along!?

    ^-- you mean extracts? NET or TA? Those are the only things I've seen that high and I only bought a few that high.

    So...We Never liked it all along!?

    Yeah I DIY mainly... I haven't noticed a lot of negative change in flavorings. One of my old favorite TAs became harder to get and I'm not liking it as much, maybe they're not making it anymore and the supplies are old, that could be it. The newer brands are more expensive, I just got some...

    So...We Never liked it all along!?

    From my perspective of slowly exploring tobacco flavors and DIY, it keeps getting better. There have been a lot of changes in the whole industry that might cause the change you have noticed. More ejuices are high VG and oriented towards high power vaping, and for that lower strength flavor is a...

    So...We Never liked it all along!?

    When I go in a vape shop, the only bottles I can actually tell what they are from 5-6 feet away behind the counter are bright and vividly labelled. A picture filling the full screen is a misleading depiction of the environment these excel the most in. That said I must point out: TOBACCO FLAVORS...

    Fix sour taste

    Dilute with unflavored. Many or most juices are overflavored unless your taste is dulled by smoking. Flavor production and preference varies with device and power level. You might be surprised how much you can dilute e.g. 1/4; if you were mixing them yourself you could reduce one flavor. I...

    Stainless steel in mechanical mods?

    Any temperature control effect of using SS will probably be insignificant, but would actually be desirable. Unfortunately, any wire material with adequate TCR to produce a usable effect with a mech or VV device requires true temperature control as bad things happen when they are overheated. SS...

    Ejuice that's not syrupy sweet

    You could be getting more sensitive to taste and it's just too strong now. You could try diluting your present juices with unflavored. Or make your own.

    10th and 11th Vaping Deaths

    Earlier this year, I was buying some Nautilus coils at a shop when I was told that people are burning up pen batteries vaping thick oils. This surprised me because the one time I tried the stuff it vaped normally on a small pen battery and was an enjoyable vape. I'm wondering if the cut oil...

    having trouble with flavors coming thru

    Every device works better with some flavors than others. Also Watermelon is naturally a subtle flavor and the version I have of it tastes very chemical at even normal concentrations.

    My Falcon coils burn in one day

    More like draw harder for a shorter time. High power is to make a lot of vapor or the vapor in a shorter time. If you're running 70W then for any long hit you need to be pulling 70W worth of vapor out of it, that is, as fast as it makes it. Watts are a rate of energy flow. You really shouldn't...

    Massachusetts banned e-cigs entirely... smh

    The politicians are so ignorant, they don't even realize vaping is already on the chopping block.

    Hi all, having Anxiety over all the vaping sickness

    Without even knowing any more about the cause of the outbreak of problems, it has to be something new. If you've been vaping since before any of this, haven't changed anything substantive, and don't use black market products that could change even if they appear the same, there should be nothing...

    Michigan Gov Whitmer releases vaping ban rules...

    If it were an actual emergency, 2 weeks would be intolerably slow. It is not. Re: this aimed at suppliers, if you possess more than 4 bottles you are not an individual. Re: unflavored, I like it with strong nicotine, those looking for a nic rush, e.g. kids, should have little issue with it...

    Banned? Help!! I have been out of the loop....

    I don't use that much nic, so one liter I figure will last me over 15 years, if it holds up. My present stash I let sit at room temperature for 3 months before freezing it and it's starting a to yellow a bit after 2 more years. So I will be grabbing a fresh bottle of high grade nic sometime soon...

    A general rant to clear my frustration... (re: the ban)

    You may not be affected by the flavored ban. However as of next May, you may not be able to get that hardware anymore, or ready to vape ejuice. There may or may not be closed system products available that are adequate substitutes.

    Vaping Use Prompts Trump Administration to Weigh Flavored E-Cigarettes Ban

    It was originally allowed because the little thing called the free market. There may have been that hope -- and the data shows it was justified, which Azar leaves out. Looked to me that Trump said we (they) need to take a close look ... and 2 seconds later Azar acts like the decision has...
