    Is nicotine bad for you?

    I'm not a doctor so all I can prescribe is that you take this with a pinch of salt... Most of the negative health effects of smoking comes from the effects of cigarettes on the arteries, lungs, heart muscle and so forth. The evidence that we have so far indicates that vaping does not cause any...

    Ego type battery issue

    As an aside, I do wish people (in this case the website) would stop rating batteries in square-feet hours. It's mAh; the capitalisation matters.

    Ego type battery issue

    It blocks you until you have enough posts, to prevent drive-by spamming. However my Google-fu is great and your user name is unusual. The link you wanted to give is: baterie eXtreme 2 1600 mah It doesn't say much there. My guess is that the battery is regulated to 3.4-3.5V and therefore you...

    E-Cigarette vs Cigarette

    Nice video, but I think they are using cigarette methodology to test e-cigs. There's a danger they'll get dry-puffs drawing at that rate. Dr. F et al have studied the correct draw rate to use for e-cigs.

    "The contest ends on May 11th at 11:59 CST. We will choose a winner with 72 hours of the contest's end date. All submissions made after the cut off date will be disqualified." We're just having too much fun to stop... as the actress said to the bishop.

    Getting a harsh hit, need help.

    Literally, you are playing with fire. These batteries can explode if you make a bad coil. There are so many variables in building a dual-coil for a tank, none of which you have any ability to measure or change, that I doubt you will have any luck making a good build. Your first step is to get...

    CONTEST: Best Joke Wins an iTaste 134 Mini APV! - The Vapor Station

    Good luck everyone. True story: I could never send in a joke to the comics when I was a kid. They said the joke had to be original but I didn't know any original jokes, just ones I'd made up myself.

    CONTEST: Best Joke Wins an iTaste 134 Mini APV! - The Vapor Station

    @spacekitty, that may be more true than you think. Witches supposedly flew by the use of flying ointment. If you look into the various recipes for flying ointment you will find that they were probably very potent hallucinogens. There is a theory that the ointment was applied topically to the...

    CONTEST: Best Joke Wins an iTaste 134 Mini APV! - The Vapor Station

    A white horse walks into a bar and asks the barman, "what whiskeys do you have?" The barman replies, "well there's Bells, Jamesons, Famous Grouse, Glenfiddich,... Oh and there's one named after you!" "What," says the horse, "Eric?"

    CONTEST: Best Joke Wins an iTaste 134 Mini APV! - The Vapor Station

    I actually saw some graffiti that said "Heisenberg may have been here." If I had been brave enough I might have added "Heisenberg was definitely here... or will be"

    this thread not related with ecig but i'm sincere about this problem

    Immigration is a major issue in the general election that is happening tomorrow. I'm not an expert but I believe if you are skilled and you have a job waiting for you, then you should have no problem. You say your girlfriend is Scottish, if she is living in Scotland that may be an advantage...

    How many Watts can I go?

    Firstly it's all a dark art. To use more power you need the wicking and liquid flow to support it. I just built a 0.8 ohm coil from three twisted strands of 30ga on a 3.0mm former. It was a dog. Even at 20W it took forever to heat up and then it tended to run too hot. I backed off to two...

    Xtar charger question. noobvaper

    You will be fine. The charger will only take the current that it needs. So long as the voltage is right (it is) and the current is over the 500mA the charger needs (it is, well over) then you are perfectly fine. In fact it is a good idea to have the amps over-specified -- many power supplies...

    I want a single coil option...

    The Squape/R is better than the Lemo 2. Better flavour (according to PBusardo), the build deck is accessible without draining the tank and the maximum air hole is 3.2mm IIRC. That's before we get into the exchangeable build decks. What's more, at $140 or more, it's way too expensive for a...

    Battery usage

    I have two points then. 1. Until you know this stuff yourself, it is highly dangerous for you to be thinking of building coils with resistances anywhere near this low. 2. A 0.18 ohm coil will draw 23.3 amps. It is not safe with either of the batteries. I seriously doubt that you will create an...

    Battery usage

    20ga wire making a 1.8 ohm coil, are you sure? That's 0.8mm diameter wire and it will require 43 wraps on a 3mm former to make 1.8 ohms. I assume that was a mis-type. Assuming you are measuring the resistance right... 4.2 volts and 1.8 ohms draws (V/R) 2.3 amps 4.2 volts and 0.9 ohms draws 4.6...

    Urgent battery heat/safety advice needed!!!

    I assume the storage unit has no windows and isn't painted black? Then it won't get excessively hot. The reason cars get hot is because of all the glass and the conducting metal. Even then I doubt the air temperature gets much over 60C. Unless you think a pan of water in the storage unit would...
