    Lost mail.

    It wasn't vapemail, but I lost a parcel recently. What kind of doofus sends a £600 ($1,000) camera by untracked, anonymous parcel post? There's some real idiots on Amazon Marketplace. Looking back at his feedback, the only bad reports he has are when the parcel was lost.

    Can this be done?

    You can't make PG disappear. Many people who are sensitive to PG are OK with 20% PG mixes. Some aren't. If you added an equal quantity of vegetable glycerin to your eliquid, then you would end up with 25% PG. But the nicotine and flavourings would also halve. If you can buy the same liquid at...

    The thread for Innokin SVD

    There's people saying they got them from other places than FT but, on reflection,we don't know whether the places they got them from got them from somewhere dodgy. So let's ask another question: My hypothesis is that the ones with a slot in the beauty ring thread like in the picture, are...

    Silver wire for coils?

    No. It's about the worst idea you could have. The whole point of the coil is to have a high resistance. When we talk about a low resistance coil, we are talking in relation to normal resistance, which might be one ohm. Even a 0.1 ohm coil is still high resistance relative to what you would get...

    The thread for Innokin SVD

    The one that Phil Busardo reviewed was a very early one, maybe pre-production. I would agree though, they definitely listened to him; they wouldn't have swapped the + and - buttons otherwise. The head is the bit on the very top that holds the connectors. Apart from those it's just a narrow...

    The thread for Innokin SVD

    That's just about exactly where I am, thunder1, except I got a Sigelei 20W. Can you let us know how that goes? With pictures? Has anyone who did not buy the Fastech "Authentic" SVD got the fire button problem? It seems to me that everyone who has said they have the problem, bought it from...

    Worse part of quiting tobacco is getting my sense of smell back.

    We had a dog who'd realised what people complained about. She'd fart, curl around to smell it, and if it ponged, she'd leave the room.

    My setup after 5 months of E Smoking

    Congratulations on the five months. Everyone is different. Five months ago I was a couple of months into my journey and just thinking of moving beyond EVODs. I'm at RBAs and 20W VW mods right now, and I think that other than maybe moving on to 30W, this is where I'll be for a while.

    What do you guys if your flying?

    A couple of mls is far too much. You'd be in the toilet puking your guts up for the rest of the flight. A few drops is closer to the mark. Consider one drop is a few puffs (say 1-3 depending on watts) and 10-15 puffs is a cigarette. Then err on the side of caution. Half a dozen drops is the...

    Will I notice a difference with a mech or apv?

    I believe that a 33Hz PWM is slow enough to make a varying temperature at the coil. That means that with a DC voltage you will be able to push the power a little bit higher than you can with a slow PWM mod. It will make the most difference when the PWM is on for only a short time -- lower powers.

    Questions about Clone Quality and Ethics - Help a vet ;-)

    Copying a logo would more normally be prosecuted as trademark infringement, which would consider lost sales, market confusion and loss of reputation. The profit generated by the clones would be evidence, but only part of any discussion of damages.

    RSST Vs Kayfun: Difference?

    Resistance meters look something like this: Ohms -resistance meter rechargeable black – VipVapes Manchester UK (I've never heard of that particular dealer; this is just to show you what to look for.) The only reasons to get a mech mod: 1) They look nice 2) They're macho ( ;) ) 3) They can...

    RSST Vs Kayfun: Difference?

    If you are just getting into coil building, I'd say steer clear of the RSST and other genesis-style atomisers and go for the Kayfun Lite+. Coiling and wicking a genesis-style is another level of difficult above a Kayfun. To increase resistance, you use more wire or you use thinner wire. I would...

    What do you guys if your flying?

    I take a small eGo battery and a vision nano clearomiser for airports and such. On the plane I have been known to drip a few drops of liquid onto the back of my hand and rub it in. The craving went away, which might be a real nicotine effect or just a placebo effect. Remember, batteries must...

    Scientific Good News !

    A very nice list. There is some overlap to the other list: The Ultimate List of E-Cig Studies: Are E-Cigs Actually Safe? *Updated 2/16/14 » onVaping but some new stuff too.

    russian 91 bliss

    I'm fairly sure you can get a Russian clone if you want to. I doubt there's much difference in flavours, and they are basically in healthy competition between each other. I'd be careful about buying a Russian at the moment since they've gone to a sprung centre pin which, in some cases, caused...

    If you had it to do over again....

    I should have given up smoking about six months earlier. By early 2013 everything was in place for my journey, and it wasn't until late 2013 that I started on it. I bought an expensive mall cig-a-like, and a load of expensive cartos for it, back in 2011 but back then there probably wasn't much...
