    Efficiency - Round vs Clapton

    Claptons have a higher ratio of surface area to mass, therefore a coil of ideal surface area should heat up faster and be more efficient. However, since they usually far exceed the ideal size, a simple round wire build of ideal size would beat their pants off. At 45 watts and taking a crude...

    Chain vaping is killing my coils! Is there better coils to choose from?

    Try not holding down the fire button as long. Either shorter drags, or release the button sooner, or let up the button a half second whenever it starts getting toastier. Manually regulate the heat.

    Does the mod affect the type/quality of the vape when using the same tank on a different mod?

    Same power setting but this is not the same actual power output from instant to instant. With "ramp up" control the power output doesn't look like a ramp up either, it's the coil heating that looks like a ramp up. The power output to improve ramp up looks more like a peak that then ramps back...

    New old member needs help

    The only willpower I used was finding better vapes and not giving up. However it did take a long time, 9 months total transition, plus another year of 1 cig a month (YES that's enough to avoid certain withdrawal symptoms). I dropped to half the smokes almost immediately, but after that progress...

    Issues with DIY (Liquid Barn)

    A lot of recipes and starting points seem to still be flavored for tiny vapes. With even a medium output device overflavoring can be a like an impenetrable dark wall. Most of my successes in DIY have related to light flavoring. Further, high flavoring disproportionally increases coil gunking...

    Nicotine Tolerance, hows does it differ in vaping and smoking.

    The problem with that is nicotine is a very limited drug in what it can do for you and does tend to be self limiting for that reason. I managed to keep it to a pack a day and was only drawn towards more when bored or sitting around too much. That could have increased tolerance if I let it...

    Help needed with tobacco diy mix

    You will need to dilute anything that you can't use whole drop(s) of because it's too strong. The INW TAs I use at least 2 drops per 25 ml. Two flavors that I only use with predilution are M-type and INW watermelon, since I don't make 100 ml or more at a time. A good mix with (this) TA is about...

    Is it normal for coils NOT to give a crackle sound?

    It should be more a steaming sound than a crackle.

    Anyone see this add yet from truth?

    By this point any group calling themselves "truth" should be a red flag. The Truth ad that bugged me was the one where they state tobacco companies have increased the addictiveness of tobacco, and it flashes double the nicotine on the screen. For one thing, the verbal statement isn't really the...

    N.E.T. Nicotine Salt ejuice

    Up to 32 mg here, and excellent: Patriot Tobacco eJuice Their Vita Bella has added vanilla. I have found Tobacco Absolutes that mix with almost any flavor, but most NETs have a certain distinctive flavor that may not get along.

    Doesn't hurt to ask

    Tobacco is grown all over the world. One high end tobacco reads something like "Made with Virginia tobacco from 3 different countries".

    F Cigarette

    I'm sure it would actually be possible to make a non-electric, heat based ejuice vape device. However you'd still be able to smell something burning in the room unless it was nuclear powered or something (I wrote this before the above post!) or maybe based on heating up something in a fireplace...

    Smoked Brisket

    It might work if the actual meat flavor is just a hint. That would also help with not having to make your own meat flavoring.

    Hard time finding good e-juice.

    Back when they had little tanks to try everything at vape shops -- easy, though flawed -- I considered it doing good to find one flavor in the whole shop I really liked. Recently I tried a few fruity flavors at a shop to see if they were particularly better than my DIY attempts, and they seemed...

    RDA not hitting hard enough

    Art coils are NOT high mass -- they're a solution to the problem of making large coils with the surface area to mass ratio of small coils, since they're made of small wire. The problem here is probably they're too successful in that goal. If 100 watts was good for plain coils that overall size...

    Buyer beware Myfreedomsmoke Fraudulant card carge.

    Fraudulent charges were made to my card after an in-person purchase at a vape store -- Wells Fargo was calling me before I could even get home. I believe the card was previously compromised, and the hacker was hoping that my making a "risk category" purchase in person would help legitimize...

    FDA considering ban on flavored e-cigarettes

    Flavors are part of what makes vaping superior to smoking, which is a good thing. Of course it will be more appealing to youth because it's more appealing to everyone, which again is a good thing. I don't see the issue with our politics being just our leaders, the constituency still seems...
