    Quite correct, I was thinking of ulcerative colitis, which proves I've got it upside-down.

    Popular tanks

    I would go for a Protank II. You don't need the mini on a Provari. I'm not a doctor, but IIRC ulcers are a well-known result of stopping smoking. There is a disease that cigarettes (and, I think, nicotine) suppresses. If that is true then you may not have been getting sufficient nicotine on...

    It's me again!!! :D

    It is fine to start with one of everything if you are still smoking. That way you can prove to yourself (and your subconscious) that an e-cig will provide the nicotine you need. But as soon as you decide to stop smoking, you need plenty of backup equipment. You cannot afford for your backup to...

    Vapor Envy!

    Yep. Vapour = liquid. If you get more vapour you use more liquid. If you use the liquid you get the nicotine. So if you get more vapour, you get more nicotine... and a higher liquid bill too. I'm seriously considering dropping from 18mg/ml to 12 right now. I like getting a nic-hit, but with...

    Another burnt wick??

    Cotton burns easily. As soon as there is not enough liquid to cool it, it will burn.

    Omg someone help me!

    In almost every case, you wouldn't even feel a shock from 4V. (You'd get a tingle if you licked it.) The sparking from that battery is not the same thing as high voltage sparks such as static electricity. You need 300V to make those sorts of sparks. The ones you get from lower voltages are...

    Omg someone help me!

    You wont get electrocuted, but I wouldn't try to short it out. The battery itself is fine, it hasn't vented, it's just the wiring that has broken and is sparking. If you try to short it out you could cause the battery to vent, which would be another level of difficult to clean up. All you need...

    Pet Peeves...

    # was never a pound sign. It was, however the same key on the keyboard that produced £ in the UK, which is the pound sign. It abbreviates "number"; it is therefore the number sign. It never abbreviates "pound". It has many names, most of which make more sense than "pound sign". ... my pet peeve...

    How Much Influence Does the Type of Metal in a Mod Affect Performance?

    I don't see how it can be due to the bulk material of the tube: Stainless steel does have a higher voltage drop, but by a tenth of the amount quoted above, and it only reduces the power by around 1%. It is more likely due to better attention to detail regarding the various connections between...

    18490s in a Sigelei 20 Watt?

    While I try to work out how to order the tube: Those are Euro cents; US cents or UK pennies would be too big. The wire is tinned copper of course, not Kanthal. :) It's just about the right size and seems to work OK. Thanks for your advice, everyone. ETA: I've just ordered the 18500 and 18350...

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

    There's two issues here: legal and moral, and the legal issues are also split into what the spirit of the law says and what big businesses like Nike can get away with. It seems obvious to me that if one is in the market for a clone and buys one off Tobecco, for example, there is no intent to...

    So what's the best

    There are as many opinions as vapers, but here's mine. For high-end rebuildable atomisers, there are three to consider: Kayfun/Russian, Aqua and Taifun GT. There are several more you could think about, the Spheroid for example, but those three are top-end examples of your options. Anything else...

    Is Temperature the Future of Digital Vaping?

    It doesn't. It makes the coil less efficient at vaporising liquid, so what there is goes further.

    Vaping science (or something like that)

    The 24ga will heat up slower but might produce more vapour.

    Metal or non-metal drip tips?

    Glass every time. There's no taste to them and they feel good in the mouth. The mass-produced pyrex ones are good, but the last time I was in the states I managed to get a couple of hand-blown glass tips. Expensive but well worth it. ETA: that reminds me. Stone is also good, maybe not as good...

    Is Temperature the Future of Digital Vaping?

    Given that the chemicals are very basic and available in all sorts of mixtures, I rather think the invention was done in the other order -- first the liquid and then the electricals. I somewhat doubt that sub-ohms produces noxious chemicals. I think that such noxious substances would taste bad...
