    Throat hit additive

    Ablonz's response is so true. When I started out at 24mg I was using E-go C's. As the gear got better (protanks) and Isticks, I was able to lower the nic to 18mg. Now, with the 1.2Ω coil in a subtank and and any battery over 10W, I am down to 12mg. I have to use about 18 watts to keep the throat...

    Don't forget about Watts Law

    All of this is why I am just a tootle puffer and rarely ever go over 18W. I am a well-educated person and given the need, I could figure all those calculations out. I build my own coils (sometimes lower then 1W), make my own juice, and really enjoy those aspects of vaping. I trust my regulated...

    Back In The Old Days

    When I started all I could find in my area of Ft Lauderdale, Fl were "51" cigalikes. They had three levels of nicotine cartridges, 2.4%, 1.8% and 1.2%. And that was ONLY in the cartridges! (5 for $14.95) , which lasted me 4 days. And no disclosure of what was in the liquid. And I had to have two...

    Airport Security??

    Has anyone had any trouble? Was your gear confiscated? And why? I recently flew to Vegas with 4 IPV minis and 4 subtank minis(in quart baggie in carry-on) and over 300ml of juice I had made(in the checked bag). That plus all the gear to charge them. And three battery banks. I was so surprised I...

    My Life has changed forever

    When I started the Ego-C's were the best I could find. It was such a struggle to stay off cigs, I had to use 24mg/ml juice! They did work but I now use 12mg/ml in my kanger subtank with the 1.2Ω coil. I will try to go lower on my next batch. Vaping is so much better then smoking, Congratulations!

    make your own

    I like all these posts, I DIY for over 3 years now. The cost savings are great. Just stay safe and take your time with mixing. Using a calculator on-line, print the recipe and as you make it, mark the ingredients off. I got lazy once and mixed in double flavorings because it wasn't marked off...

    Making ejuice

    You are on your way to saving money. DIY is one of the best things I ever learned. The post above contains all you need to get started. As for flavoring, start low (2%) and work your way up. It is easier to add more then to try to make an over-potent weaker. Good luck.

    FDA Date of the Deeming?

    My guess is February 14th is when they will announce. Then May 14th is when we will not be able to buy nicotine juice. That being said, I have enough for five years at 12mg/ml. If I go lower, it's even longer. But, my bet is that: in that five years after the deeming, we will be able to get...

    Generally I'm freaking out!!!

    You guys are so funny! There will still be vaping, as Big Tobacco has their hand in it. Our gear is not illegal, it just won't be able to be sold. So, do as I did, I bought rebuildable atomizers and only mods that had removable batteries, and enough nicotine base to last 5 years, or 10 if I cut...

    what do you all use to clean out clearomizer

    I use rum, then let it air dry. The alcohol disintegrates the juice.

    Diketone thread #411

    Those of us aware and concerned about the diketones know how to avoid them. Know what you buy. If the seller won't tell you if it has it, then avoid it.

    Fairly important positive development for a change

    You Brits are so smart! The US of A is now trying to make it harder for us to vape by going back to 2007 gear. They are not saying it is bad, they are upset because of the decrease in revenue from all us vapers not buy cigs anymore. Maybe I'll go live in jolly ol' England if they regulate vaping...

    Hi everyone! I'm new!

    Welcome to ECF! Congrats for starting your way to better health. I also like torque56! Looks like you figured it out with your gear and nic juices. Coils are easy, and you can always throw them away if it doesn't work and not worry about spending money on prebuilt coils. Look up tensioned coils...

    "Just" glycerin okay? (not vegetable)

    Look closely at the back of the bottle, it says it somewhere back there that it is vegetable!:rolleyes: I'd get out my bottle to look, but, I am busy vaping that same VG!

    Dvap Special Blend DIY WTA

    I got three bottles when they were on sale! (not Dvap's) Just the DIY juice. The WTA's have been making it easier for me. It seems they work on my brain to quiet the need to constantly vape. The slight depression seems to be lifting and joy-of-life is stronger. (the MAOI's I was missing from...
