    New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

    I once said about 4 years ago, when I first heard about the Deeming, that I could see us wringing the out the filler of the cig-a-like sticks. (That was just after the Ego styles came out with their cartridges). So, I totally agree. Now, I think all it will take is for one type of high nicotine...

    New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

    While looking at mikepetros' research I discovered that my all-day go-to kangertech would most likely go over the 450 degree of safety IF I chain-vaped with half airflow. So, taking that into account I no longer chain-vape and use a wide open airflow! I also lowered my wattage some. Mikepetro...

    why less nicotine for sub ohm

    Huh? I do not get what you mean. As a side note: I vape 20mg/ml DIY juice and I use Kangertech coils mostly in the 1.2-1.5Ω range at 18W. I did pick up a nice lot of .5Ω coils and thought I would just lower the wattage to 12W. But, I have not tried it yet.

    Does anyone else think drip tips are getting too wide?

    Some one mentioned "tailpipe" but did not go into the reason for it. One reason the tips got wider is that it creates a "tailpipe" effect and the circulation in the tip when inhaling actually cools the smoke and creates a negative pressure, meaning you get more vapor and it is cooler. I like...

    How often do you guys clean your tanks??

    This thread got me thinking,,,,I have not washed my tanks in at least a year. I do take off the drip tip and clean it by running a q-tip around it and the base. HMMM, maybe, I will clean them tomorrow. I only use one juice, so, that maybe why I haven't thought about that in quite awhile. I...

    What kind of nic level is around the same as a roll up?

    Somewhere on here is a thread about that. As I remember it was about 24mg/ml for a full flavored cig and about 12mg/ml for a light cig. But, that was back when we only had ego-c gear with only a 5watt max battery. The hardware has changed so much that it may not fly anymore. I vape at 20mg/ml...

    Why I Never Get Any Satisfaction Out of Vape

    I feel for you. It is really hard to want to quit and not be able to. I wish you well. I vape 20mg/ml at 18watts, and I guess I do mouth to lung, I never quite understood what all "that" fuss was about. Sometimes, I inhale and some times I just let it roll around my mouth. It is all a learning...

    How often do you crave a cig?

    Funny, how some of us see smoking on TV and have an urge to smoke. I have been vaping for 5 years and I still get the urge from TV smoking. Sometimes, when I smell cig smoke it smells wonderful and other times, YUCKY. I then just vape more and any urge passes. My health is more important to me...

    About to start my first diy liquid

    You are doing well for just starting. The only thing I would suggest is to check off the steps as you do them, I once skipped a step and had my nic wrong. And organize each mix with one side being "to add" and one side "added already".

    "I just change the subject. "Hey, did you hear that Kim Kardashian broke a nail?" Quote from Tonee N That's priceless. You are right it is always better to change the subject, my reply was actually for one guy who insisted that it is harmful/dangerous, and worse then smoking.

    Very Close to zero cigarettes... Finally hopefully.

    Well, good for you. Keep it up! Since you joined ECF you will find ways to save on the cost of juice. Some suppliers sell large bottles (like ecblends has almost any size, any floor, you want) and some have 120ml's. Then you will read about some, like me, who make their own juice, for about 60...

    I just tell them I have done my research and this is how I choose to kill myself, and laugh. (We ALL know vaping is not smoking, and certainly less harmful them smoking.)

    To buy or not to buy...that was the question.

    It does seem like we need to stock up on certain items. I just had a mod die on me after 3 years. So, if I need a new mod every three years...I should stock up on at least 10 of them. Cause I hope to live 30 more years, at the least. The 2 1/2 liters of 100% nic liquid sometimes, just doesn't...

    Comment by 'mountaingal' in 'Actual temperature inside a Kangertech Nano'

    Can I assume that if the AFC is wide open the temp would be lower? I currently use this set-up with 20mg/ml DIY juice with a wide open AFC at 18.4watts. As I understand this TC thing: is that anything over 450 degrees makes for more chemicals to be released. And with your calculations my...

    When will subohm and high wattage mania end? And what trend will replace ?

    The Modding scene vs cost

    Lots of differences of opinion on this thread. I started cig-alikes and quickly moved to the Ego-c and making my own juice. Then went too far and got a SquapeR and learned to build a decent coil. When I heard the FDA was getting involved, I was not surprised. Then the kangertech Subtanks came...
