    As a noob just a little history

    Right on, sister! Locked up in a humidor I have 12 ounces of pure St James Parish Perique mixed with about 6 ounces of some bright-leaf flue-cured Virginia I had bought the day before I started vaping. I'll open it up and take a whiff now and again because the smell is heavenly, but I have had...

    planing on buying a VV PV (need help)

    ProVari anecdote: when I first got it, I was using it while driving to work. I was pulled over TWICE in the space of twenty minutes one day by nervous cops who were convinced I was somehow smoking crack or blasting a bud. It's funny now, but not so much at the time....:p

    planing on buying a VV PV (need help)

    ProVaris are nice kit, no doubt; but the price is still high for a n00b who doesn't know if they're even gonna tough it out in the Vaping World. I have one that I've ended up rarely using at all simply because I'm not too excited by the design and I rarely use any of its features beyond variable...

    How often do you vape?

    I probably vape more than I ever smoked; but not as much as others. I go through about 3 mils of juice a day on average. Typically, I'll vape for 8 or 10 minutes, put it down for awhile, rinse and repeat. I'm likely vaping about 25 minutes per hour on average, especially at night when I'm not on...

    About ohms

    Somewhere herein are many links to a nice little spreadsheet thingy someone went to great lengths to produce, as well as a couple of easy lessons in Ohm's Law from Yours Truly (and others). Short answer...depends. Depends on your battery, its voltage, whether it has current limiting, etc. Start...

    What Flavor Are you Vaping Right Now?

    At the moment, one of my favorite tobacco juices that actually tastes like quality tobacco and not stinkies..."Bella Vita" from Goodejuice. Coming up soon, though -- probably in Mere Moments -- my all time favorite nightcap vape, "Sweet Caroline" from iVape. The shizzle.

    Do I want to start?

    If you can quit altogether, then do so. However, if you actually enjoyed smoking, you'll probably find just as much enjoyment without most of the risk via vaping. I was an expert at quitting smoking. Did it every night. However, I was just as expert at starting again the next day. I haven't had...

    what did you smoke before you started vaping?

    My favorite cigs were all hand made from fresh, real tobacco (not the weird science experiment slurry the "tobacco" companies use); I loved Daughters and Ryan's flue-cured Gold-leaf Virginia (think it was called "Windsail Platinum") and some outstanding Turkish from, well Turkey and Greece. I...

    Why did you start

    I'll be honest with you...my reason(s) weren't altruistic in the least. I enjoyed good tobacco. I didn't smoke "store bought" manufactured cigs at all if I could avoid it; I bought premium tobaccos and made my own with an injection machine for many years The difference between real tobacco cigs...

    Should I add glycerin to runny juice

    Short answer, you can add glycerin to thicken up a "runny" juice...absolutely. Should you? Depends. I've cut some really hard-hitting PG juice with glycerin to mellow it out. VG will create more vapor, but will diminish the taste. It will also tend to impart a bit of sweetness to whatever you're...

    mah's, ohm's, volts OH MY! HELP!

    "They tried to ban everything else I enjoy." Ain't that the sad truth? Here's hoping they don't get around to vaping anytime soon. Tip o the hat to CASAA!

    A few questions with regard to flavor

    ^^What Baditude said. It's really easy to go way nuts on the juice orders and end up with a bunch of bottles you'll grow to hate or never like from the first vape. Luckily, there are more and more brick and mortar vape shops opening up and if you have one nearby, I'd be willing to bet they'd be...

    mah's, ohm's, volts OH MY! HELP!

    If they banned Ohm's Law we wouldn't be vaping! :toast:

    mah's, ohm's, volts OH MY! HELP!

    All you need to remember is this little diagram: e ____ ir and "pie." P (power in watts) = (i)current times e (voltage). 3.7 vdc/1.5ohms = 2.47amps; 2.47amps x 3.7vdc = approx 9.1watts. Easy-peazy!

    Newbie here, looking for a decent entry-level model with a PCC

    I understand how important the tobacco cigarette form-factor is initially; I would recommend the SI Volt or the eRoll/Ovale for that reason. Consider a PCC that can charge two batteries and always try to have three on you (including the one you're currently tooting). Even though you were a less...

    Njoy King? Looks very cool

    I started vaping almost two years ago with disposable Blu ecigs, and even though I've moved on, I cannot bring myself to knock them too harshly...or those who are using them now. At least they're not sucking coffin nails. And I still keep a couple of stick batts with 510-t attys and tanks for a...

    So get this

    Indeed. A friend of mine likes a weak vape for some reason, and he uses those old atomizer plugs (like cartridges without the filler) for mouthpieces. By the time the vape makes it through the two narrow air channels and hits the plate with the tiny little draw hole, it's weak and bland alright...

    Low mah and low resistance

    Simple Ohm's Law (handy to know for figuring out what to buy for what device): E _____ I R Where E = voltage, I is current and R is resistance. To figure the current drawn by a setup, divide the voltage (E) by the resistance (R). Using a 510 "stick" battery of 3.7 volts, placing a 1.5...

    Battery life question.. WHY?

    There is NOT a charge memory associated with Li-on batteries. You should avoid fully discharging Li-on batts and instead frequently recharge them before they are fully drained. I have had more than one eGo batt die from allowing it to fully discharge once too often. The amount of time your...
