    To frequent international travellers

    I've not been to Dubai, but elsewhere I've found it is a good idea to have everything in carry-on. It's easier to get through security when they can tell what the weird electronics are for. In fact the only times I've been stopped for a search is when the atty has not been on the mod. When I've...

    Suggestions on how to quit smoking

    Welcome, Giravve. There's a load of invaluable information and suggestions in this thread but it also proves that there is no single path to quitting; everyone is different.

    Suggestions on how to quit smoking

    In my case it was the precise opposite. If I had got rid of the smoking stuff I would have panicked and failed. I needed the absolute minimum of anxiety to make it work. There's still a full pack of tobacco in the cupboard and it's been over two years now. That only works of course because...

    how much and often do you vape?

    Around 2ml. One thing to bear in mind if you are vaping a lot of liquid is that the toxicology of such things as diacetyl is calculated on a daily intake of 3ml. If you are vaping 15ml then you are getting five times as much of the bad stuff. So if I were you I would be taking excessive care...

    Just how addictive is nicotine... Really?

    If I understand correctly, (I am a long way from an expert,) if you are such a heavy drinker that you get the DT's often, you should seek medical advice before quitting. It isn't an issue for most drinkers. Giving up smoking is easy; I do it forty times every day.

    Just how addictive is nicotine... Really?

    It's called that because the cold sweats associated with abstaining from alcohol bring to mind the skin of a chilled oven-ready turkey. Alcohol is one of the only two drugs that are physically addictive. You can actually die if you quit drinking too fast.

    Just how addictive is nicotine... Really?

    BUT... Once addicted to nicotine, the addiction seems to remain. Fortunately it seems to be supported OK by only nicotine, which is what we are doing. So although nicotine may not be addictive by itself, that is no help for most of us. It may be that long-term use of only nicotine breaks down...

    Best cotton to use?

    If you are getting through Japanese cotton quickly, don't buy it from vaping merchants. Koh Gen Do Organic Cotton 80 sheets for Skin Care: Amazon.co.uk: Beauty £10.99 for 80 pads, so £0.14 each. If you can't get 5 wicks from each pad, you're doing something wrong. Which makes each wick cost...

    Best cotton to use?

    I use Koh Gen Do these days, although I was caught without a pad last time I rewicked so I'm back to cotton balls for now. I don't trust the manufacturers of makeup-remover products to consider the safety of inhaling vapours and combustion products but, in the quantities we use, it's safe enough...

    Wow,took 4 drags and I went dizzy!

    I'd certainly try zero nic if I were you. It may be that you are habituated to the activity but not the nicotine. If so there's no need to assume the risk of using it. There's no added flavour in zero nic, just a clearer one. Nicotine has its own flavour that masks others. If you find it too...

    Oh the Horror! Another Explode Episode!

    There's a thing our brains do when we think they're being empathetic. Our model of other people is based a little bit on what we know about them, but the rest, and maybe the majority, is filled in with our own personality. That's where projection comes from and why disinformation problems are so...

    Oh the Horror! Another Explode Episode!

    What you missed there is that you thought you were working but you weren't. You were only manworking, which is the same as playing, while she was actually doing real work and getting more and more ...... that you were enjoying yourself while she was slaving away. If you ever find a solution to...

    Clueless to vaping

    I knew I'd found something I could continue using successfully when I got a Twist battery and a Protank II. I'm eighteen months past that now so those are old technology. It sounds like the Nautilus and a Spinner are about the same, but the iTaste 30W is probably better able to express the...

    Batteries: Any damage done?

    If you search the forum for TR-001, you will find a lot of worries, but no hard evidence that it is a problem. Personally I wouldn't trust a cheap charger. The difference between a full charge and an over-charge is only 0.1V, which requires high precision electronics to distinguish. Cheap and...

    Batteries: Any damage done?

    Get a new charger. There are unconfirmed reports that some of those don't stop charging, which will wreck your batteries. It's safe to charge a battery up to 4.2V, which any charger has to to get any life at all from it. But if it even goes 0.1V higher the life of the battery is degraded...

    i feel like im beating a dead horse

    For the Samsung 25R, pulse is defined as less than one second. Here's the proof (page 3): http://www.powerstream.com/p/INR18650-25R-datasheet.pdf It does allow that pulse to be 100A though, which is higher than the generally given 30A.

    Suggestions on how to quit smoking

    Whenever you know that a cigarette is the only thing that will satisfy you, that isn't true; it's only conditioning. So when it happens, vape first and vape hard. You can have a cigarette afterwards if you still need one but try to leave ten minutes before making the decision. You will find the...

    Suggestions on how to quit smoking

    1. Find a setup that can give you as much nicotine as you can handle. You don't have to vape that way, but then you know that if you need it you can get it. 2. Backups for the backups. Once you have quit and then run out of battery or juice, you do not want the cure to be running down to the...

    Wanted: Stealth mod that looks EXACTLY like (and functions as?) a flashlight

    FT also do LED heads with 510 connectors. They probably expect 3.7V, so putting it on a VW-only mod would be risky.
