    Just ordered a Volcano Starter Kit

    That's a little bit different as that is JUST a passthrough and does not have a battery--it only works while tethered. The eGo-T "passthru" is an eGo battery with a mini-USB port on the bottom so you can use it while it is charging. You almost don't need anything else.

    Watts and Sweet Spots

    If too little liquid wicks to the coil, it will run at a higher temperature and potentially cause a burnt taste or "atty death", but with dual coils (or high resistance+high voltage), there is more surface area to wick through the e-liquid more efficiently. The other advantage is that it means...

    Question about my atty...

    I'm just guessing, but that does sound like it could have actually *dropped* resistance so its pulling too much power and could overheat and go out soon. On the other hand, you might have just let the atomizer get too dry--the liquid helps keep the atomizer temperature down so if it goes dry...

    Question about my atty...

    The surest way to tell is to connect the atty to a voltmeter and check the resistance...a "blown" atty will either read an extremely high resistance (like 40+ohm) or nothing at all. If its just not working the way you like, search here or YouTube for "cleaning instructions for (whatever...

    Watts and Sweet Spots

    Wattage is a measurement of power so it directly translates into vapor production. Like Gestalt said, the difference between a low resistance atomizer at standard voltage and a standard resistance atomizer at high voltage is a difference in surface area. The new "dual coil cartomizers" work...

    New guy, giving a shout-out and a mg question

    1.8% or 18mg/ml is a decent starting point, but some people need something stronger when they're first switching over from smoking. Most people get about 1 milligram of nicotine from each cigarette, but combustion changes the pH of the nicotine so that it is quickly and easily absorbed in the...

    Just ordered a Volcano Starter Kit

    You can do a lot worse than a 650mAH "passthru" and 1100mAH battery and a bottle of BlueWater Punch for $75, but there are some cheaper options too... There aren't as many color options, but the 1000mah USB Passthru eGo-T is a great value because you don't really even need anything else except...

    Just ordered a Volcano Starter Kit

    I haven't bothered with the skinny "cigarette-looking" batteries since I got spoiled by "high voltage" vaping. For me, nicotine content isn't as important as getting nice billowing clouds of vapor and "Low Resistance" atomizers and cartomizers don't last very long on mini batteries. I've got...

    Second hand smoke and ADHD

    I grew up in a home where smoking was considered taboo so I didn't know until recently that all of my grandparents were smokers as well as many other people on both sides of my family. I also grew up unaware that I had ADHD because mine is "primarily inattentive type" and I thought that ADHD...

    FOIA Request Results (Open Government Advocacy by CASAA members)

    It's waay better! On the internet, nearly everyone is snarky, but it takes someone like Elaine to be called a "smarty pants" by DOCTOR Anthony Chen. Notice he didn't argue that she proved him wrong and went straight to name-calling??? pwn3d.

    FOIA Request Results (Open Government Advocacy by CASAA members)

    Well, since we were there to specifically oppose the proposed legislation, everyone knew that it was not and could not be legally enforceable, but we understood that the property management has the right to ask us not to vape--not that it actually stopped anyone from vaping discretely or in the...

    E-Cigarettes: Smoke and Mirrors?

    Dr. Eissenberg's first study showed that a smoker who has never used an e-cig before taking 10 short puffs does not deliver a significant amount of nicotine within the first 5 minutes. However, in a subsequent currently ongoing study, Dr. Eissenberg is showing that an experienced e-cig user...

    Ban Birthday Cakes!!!

    If she was, she's in trouble for not telling everybody what kind of e-liquid she's using. :evil::blink:

    E-Cigarettes: Smoke and Mirrors?

    Yes, this article is clearly referencing the first Eissenberg study that Thomas himself admitted was based on a "flawed" methodology to "prove that e-cigarettes don't work" exactly like cigarettes or deliver a statistically significant amount of nicotine within 5 minutes after someone who's...

    I cringe when I see the title of this particular forum

    I don't really care for the term "e-smoking" because there is no smoke and that could confuse people, but if you understand that the term "e-cigarette" is used because the product is marketed to smokers, the objection disappears. Non-smokers aren't interested in "cigarettes" but smokers are...

    My home town!

    Now you got me thinking about it, I gotta google. ...Hmm. There's actually not much more than speculation about the origin of "Holy Toledo"--there's a couple of different theories, but no clear origin. ETA: Ah! "Holy Toledo" sounds enough like "Holy Moley" to be the most likely origin of the...

    Electronic Filthy Cancer Death Machine The E-cigarette is in urgent need of a name change.

    It's simple: If you're talking to a smoker, its an electronic cigarette. If you're talking to nonsmokers/vapers, its a personal vaporizer.

    Electronic Filthy Cancer Death Machine The E-cigarette is in urgent need of a name change.

    Well, it the idea is that it *supposed* to be competing with the cigarette industry, not the drug industry. E-cigarettes are not a smoking cessation aid, they are a replacement for smoking like other smoke-free tobacco products. Smokeless tobacco isn't viewed as a competition to the drug...

    Electronic Filthy Cancer Death Machine The E-cigarette is in urgent need of a name change.

    If bad things come to mind when a non-smoker hears the word "cigarette", then "e-cigarette" is the PERFECT name for a product that is marketed specifically to smokers who have a more positive view of cigarettes.
