    6 Volt vaping...safe or not?

    the way I look at it, there was a reason that original e-cigs came out in single-battery 3.7 volts models. I don't understand high-voltage anyway - the heat kills nicotine so it's a waste that way, you go thru more eliquid trying to keep the atomizer from burning up so that's a waste too, and...

    White stuff in atty bridge under wick (looks like small pieces of floss)

    Debbie - to prevent a lot of snags of cart filler, using a paperclip point, pull the cart filler up just a little from the top of the insert, then using nail scissors or small haircutting scissors, cut/shear the filling flat across the top (keep the paperclip point in the filler to steady the...

    What should I order next?

    it's either 15 or 20 posts - when you make a post and see an 'edit' button next to the 'quote' button (that you see on your post now), that'll be the signal you'll be able to access your personal profile by going to the "user CP" (top of the screen all the way to the left) and uploading your...

    The bottle will be our undoing

    Given a choice, children usually would put the soft end in their mouths anyway, not the hard, safety-cap end, so I really don't see the point of 'child-safety' caps on a soft bottle, other than to tick off arthritic people. If it's a concern for you, keep your bottle into an empty (hard)...

    how many drops a day is normal

    vaping should pretty much equal what you normally smoke a day. Say 8-10 puffs x 20 cigarettes = 200 puffs, etc - the average ml use here seems to be around 2ml/day (those with mods will burn thru eliquid, so their use will be higher) Vaping should duplicate your former smoking schedule, and...

    New to dripping...Have a quick question...

    If it's a quiet gurgling you're ok, if it's noisy gurgling, you're flooded. If there's a reflective pool, you're way flooded and about to murderize your unsealed battery. Check your battery contacts frequently for signs of moisture your first week or so of vaping - you want little to zero...

    A few questions...

    lithium ion batteries, unlike NiCad batteries, do not benefit from an extended trickle charge - in fact, it can actually kill battery life. Remove them from the charger when the light goes green. Of course, the old safety rule of never leaving charging batteries unattended also applies. TTRP

    California selling ecigs in casinos!

    what was it, SB400? that was going to outright ban ecigs - it's on hold right now, vetoed by AAAnold, but still those who are waiting on the Leon ruling to revive it. The reservations are sovereign nations so they can do as they please (and they do) (wait, I forgot to add, the AT and F people...

    Ecigs not a tobacco product, juice is in the state of Missouri

    wouldn't any nonfood item be taxed at point of local retail sale, tho? (not sure what policy is for online sales but I don't think there really is one?) TTRP

    Does VG kill attys?

    straight, plain VG is pretty thick so wicks poorly unless it's thinned with water 85%-15% or 90%-10%. I'm running mostly VG 180 days now on M401 original attnys - working 5 a week, different flavors, never cleaned, just propped upside down. (i have off-the-shelf factory pre-mixed PG nicotine...

    Are you paying too much?

    good research. One thing to mention, for those vendors who have higher prices, check the coupon thread - some will give up to 30% off for e-cig-forum members. The other thing to watch is shipping. One may charge $2.95, one may charge $5.95 and one may send it free for a minimum purchase. If...

    Just got a KR808, thoughts compared to M401

    when refilling, make sure you keep an eye on the color of the filler in the KR808d. I picked up some 'new' cartomizers on the classified ads a while back, tasted weird, looked dry, so went to top them off with some clear liquid, and boom - they turned dark brown to blackish (scorched filling)...

    Atomizer Won't wick?

    if it's getting too hot, you're taking too hard/long of a drag or you're hotboxing it, like drawing 4 or 5 in a row - an atomizer can't wick that fast - don't do it and your atomizers will last much longer TTRP

    Why are my juices starting to taste like perfume

    sour could be PG breaking down (to astetic acid-probably spelled that wrong); lack of taste could be baking soda in your refrig. Perfumey could be your taste buds waking up - try diluting by 1/2 and see how it tastes then. TTRP

    itchy teeth/gums

    1) increased circulation back into your gums (cigarette carbonmonoxide gone) 2) dry mouth/less saliva 3) forgetting to brush your teeth every night drink more water when you're vaping and brush every night to remove any residual PG/VG (which can have a drying effect) TTRP

    Question about volume and "dosing"

    go to pharmacy or grocery store that has a pharmacy section - off the shelf get a (baby) dosing syringe or spoon or eyedropper or cup that is marked in ml doses. If you need to ask for help, just say it's for your cat/dog/lizard - no need for long explanations. Wash/rinse and dry before use...

    New atty makes vape taste/smell like burnt marshmallows

    too deep a draw, too fast, too often. you need to build up a capillary action between the polyfil in the cart and the wick in the atomizer. Add a straw mod to help with that. Take shorter puffs, wait a few seconds or minutes after a puff or two before you puff again. Try taking a primer puff...
