    Noob Questions about Juuls

    It depends on what you call "buzz" .. I wouldn't call a desirable nicotine effect a full-out buzz, that's getting into unpleasant, but I definitely feel the effect. With cigs it could easily get excessive. I still get plenty with low nic vaping -- maybe one tenth the level of a Juul.

    Pennsylvania Vape shops see partial win in tobacco tax court case

    That still means that a person starting out, making the investment in equipment and risking they won't like it, is highly affected. Not that taxing ejuice instead would be better if the total tax is much more, but maybe it would be more sensible to tax it lightly than tax equipment heavily... if...

    Single parallel better than dual?

    The one single coil RDA I have, it seems like the point was to make room for one coil twice as big. The basic old 3-poster with single coil mode works better.

    Ready To Vape 0mg help

    If you increase the PG, it carries flavor better, but especially bitter flavors. So the flavor will change some but the total taste could increase. I currently use Puffcake diluted, between wanting to reduce flavor and increasing PG from 30/70 to 50/50 I'm using approx. 1 part ejuice, 6 parts...

    Vapor caught in throat

    Different device, diff. juice, diff. nic ... could be different. ;) Word is, that device is a lot higher output than the Juul. So your nic level is probably too strong.

    Chemistry question: Could propylene glycol cause depression & other symptoms as study suggests

    I think vaping for extended periods makes me feel less good. That's more likely when I don't feel energetic in the first place. It's enough of a real effect that it can cause feedback, not strong but it doesn't always take much.

    Chemistry question: Could propylene glycol cause depression & other symptoms as study suggests

    I do get depressed, or at least crappy feeling, if I sit around and vape too much instead of getting off my .... and doing something. Same thing was true of cigs. Using a higher proportion of VG has progressed in close association with vaping higher amounts of ejuice. Most people don't seem to...

    PWM Suggestions

    Except for being able to use the MOSFET as a sort of fuse, it has no real safety features. Harder on the battery. Of course the series cell version can pump it out if you have it close to straight through. Most are homemade because they're kind of the pinnacle of true home made. I do like the...

    Early death of coils because of chain vaping and heat?

    That are get 2 rigs and swap between hits. (I sort of did this with EVODs at ~5W, using one a couple minutes and then swapping, but they're small.) I think one reason I've tended to dislike most or all tanks is the heat kills the flavor of the ejuice before it even gets to the wick.

    My Apt manager in CA is now forbidding vaping inside my apt.

    According to the show Silicon Valley, it takes a year to evict someone in CA, even if they don't pay rent. Don't know if this is true and still probably not a good idea, but would make eviction not the worst thing in the world (Be sure to stop paying if proceedings start because you're going to...

    Cant take the Oil taste. Any suggestions would be great.

    If the purpose is to judge the new flavor, yes, but not just to enjoy it usually. I drip different flavors all day and some of the transitory combinations are the best. I have 3 flavors mixed in my pocket carry device, top it up with what it seems to need most at the time. However, if you don't...

    Will the fda really ban flavors

    Yeah give me some of that candy ... how much is it ... 20 DOLLARS!!! No thanks! Is this a real problem? It could be confused after the sale, but have you or any of the alarmists about this actually tried to drink ejuice? Maybe enough of the strong nic salt stuff could be gotten down, but most...

    Urine smells like my Vape Juice

    ^^-- yeah, your body just needs to get rid of it, it doesn't care if it gets broken down first or not. This is probably a sign you consumed a lot of flavoring.

    What is the difference between throat hit and dry hit?

    Throat hit is normal and should not require any unusual setting. It comes from nicotine, PG, and/or flavoring. Tobacco flavors can greatly enhance throat hit but almost any flavoring if strong enough will hit with physical force.. Flavoring throat hit is presumably enhanced by the exact things...

    Millions try E-cigarettes, but many stop

    The article says people are quitting ecigs, without the slightest statement one way or the other whether they're going back to smoking or quitting entirely. Glantz sounds like a random sentence generator. Thing is, some of these people seem to think we were going into a "tobacco endgame" after...

    Patriot has changed

    I don't think I ever had the "old" version and I still loved it. But I only love it with a very specific, strictly MTL vape.

    New to the wonderful world of RDAs

    Power level has nothing to do with it. Either everything is in proportion to work correctly, or it is not. Rayon might last longer, if true that will be true for most or all correct setups. It might handle slightly more power, but if so then the same setting is simply wrong for cotton. If you...

    Response to IG

    This might be the best occasion to try a Juul. Not the cheapest to use, but maybe less than cigs depending on where you are. But notorious for its nicotine delivery efficiency and foolproofness. If that doesn't work, look into Whole tobacco alkaloids eliquids for more effect, or switch to RYO to...

    Smok vape pen 22 problem

    If you held down the button, it would quit firing after 8 seconds. The only way to fire longer without a pause is malfunction. If it had a removable battery, removing it might reset its brain (although it might have problems still), but you can't.
