    Is Today the Day?

    I'm sorry I disagreed with you because I got your meaning backwards. TOTALLY agree. I disagreed, didn't have anything else to say ... and then knee jerked again. Again, sorry because I took it wrong... not because I used the button which is there. So I disagree with this reply, but at least I...

    Michigan first state to ban flavored ecigs

    Shameful. By state law -- in Michigan, Michigan law -- manufactured cigarettes are required to be Fire Safety, usually implemented by adding carpet glue, not approved by the FDA or any other government for ingestion or burning. Government is a bigger problem than smoking.

    Too many uneducated

    I think the best retort is "follow the money". Re: research, many with money to lose have tried to find something wrong with it. I rarely have anyone say anything because I live in Virginia. Smoking was very popular here until vaping. Should have said "you know better than that" then. Re...

    New member and ready to quit smoking

    I had a throat problem when I started too. First try, equipment was too bad. Later try, I cut to half the cigs, 7/day, and stayed there for 2 months until my throat and sense of taste improved enough I could proceed. I used 12 mg juice at just over 5 watts in a couple EVODs at that point, with...

    How does a regulated mod increase battery voltage to maintain desired wattage?

    I'm not sure it's even practical to build a 3 ohm coil that will take 200W. At any rate, any wanting that kind of power that experienced mechs will try to use .05 ohm or something. Also nickel wire for TC is super low resistance. The possible range is far wider than the audio amplifier analogy...

    How does a regulated mod increase battery voltage to maintain desired wattage?

    The simplest electrical analogy is a transformer and the mechanical analogy is a gear box. A gear box can boost RPM at the cost of output torque or boost torque or hill-climbing ability at the cost of reducing RPM/speed capability or in the case of an engine requiring more RPM into it to...

    First try at tobacco flavors

    Some the pipe tobacco flavors are too much. Am4A I would only be able to use at such a low concentration it wouldn't clog/gunk anything. A lot of these flavors are really strong. Seems to me 3% of SC flavoring could take your head off. Tobaccos can be the best for light flavorings where nothing...

    If You DID NOT Go Cold Turkey How Many Per Day Did/Do You Smoke?

    It's been about a year and a half since I had one at all. I did think that was inferred by my 1 a month stage being finite and therefore ended, but admittedly I left off the 2 a year stage. ;) ... The other night someone found a whole pack of cigs, I don't know if it was these other peoples' or...

    If You DID NOT Go Cold Turkey How Many Per Day Did/Do You Smoke?

    I had cut down to 14 cigs a day and with vaping dropped rapidly to 7 a day. It took 2 months to drop to 6 a day and a total of 9 months for me to drop to a cig a week. I then continued to smoke a cig a month (as 3/4 a cig every 3 weeks) for almost 2 years. And yes I think even that small amount...

    Hi all, new to DIY. Advice needed

    Even with store bought, finished eliquids I only like a small percentage and find huge variations in which atomizers work well with them. I have almost no experience with higher power setups e.g. over 16 watts but what I have tried of them is unimpressive to OK. In my experience there is no...

    Why the switch to 80 + watts over the old low 8 watts standard?

    ^^-- first attempt cleaning the button, bad threads design can't get it apart anymore.

    Why the switch to 80 + watts over the old low 8 watts standard?

    My mech failed the fastest of any mod I bought. It was cheap, but reliability is never certain.

    Anti-vaping billboards, really?

    It's illegal to say anything good about vaping that could be considered medical advice, but no law about saying bad things about it that could be considered medical advice. None of these ads say they're specifically aimed at teens and non-smokers, although the ones that feature heavily that it...

    Why the switch to 80 + watts over the old low 8 watts standard?

    If anything the trend has already swung back, with the Juul and many similar devices using nic salts. Convenience stores appear to carry a better selection of small non-cigalike devices than they used to. Some of the older devices are no longer produced, of course. Atomizers with high capacity...

    Does vaping at a low wattage offer the same benefit as temp control?

    As atomization of e-juice is primarily the result of boiling atmospheric water that becomes attached to the liquid, changes in the boiling point of VG are irrelevant, and increased airflow increases vaporization. All vape devices will work poorly if the power is incorrect for the setup. Lower...

    Anyone really suprised that vaping is getting heavily regulated in many places?

    I see at least as many vapers than smokers now and it seems pretty accepted to me except among some parents and of course the activist types. Too bad vaping didn't start getting big when you could still smoke everywhere, the non-smokers would be shouting down all opposition for us. Instead, it...

    How do you guys do with nic-salts?

    Us ex-smokers surely had an experience that (should have) taught us to respect nicotine, and yet still end up repeating the experience at least once when we switch to vape. If you want some nicotine throat hit with less actual nic, free base nic is better for that, or of course strong salts are...

    $10 says it was a mech

    It's not just sensational news reporting, it's irresponsible news reporting to repeatedly use their position to spread fear largely without ever providing useful information. They rarely ever talk to anyone that knows anything except something bad happened. They warn against it while ignoring...

    Your preferred wattage.

    Re last sentence, the ideal mass is zero, except that it would penalize you immediately if something went wrong. And there are people that use the mass so holding fire at first acts kind of a power control, though. If they went to zero mass they might not be able to use a much real, effective...

    Your preferred wattage.

    16 watts loose MTL or multi-drag DL... Seems like this question brings out the lower power fans, compared to what I see in public, but then big clouds are most visible. If I had realized there was lots of middle ground between the very low power MTL stuff I started with and what the vape shop...
