    Hello Everyone :)

    Greetings BJ, welcome to the forum. Yes, this is definitely the place to get help climbing the E-Cig learning curve, I can't imagine how I would have learned to get the most out of vaping devices if it weren't for this forum. Cheers! -- Glenn

    Is This A Good Buy?

    Greetings FBH, welcome to the forum. Changing the coil isn't really about the e-liquid colour; the coil should be changed when the vapour starts to taste dry and harsh, and when you get less of it. My favourite clearomizer (Davide) uses the same replacement coils as the EVOD (and Pro Tank), and...

    Pictures of your setup

    It's a humble collection, but it gets the job done. The setup on the left is a Siam Cobra atop an older Gus telescopic. The middle rig is clones. In the works is at least one good regulated mod, probably one more decent mech mod, and maybe a couple rebuildables, then i'll have everything I need...

    First Successful Genny Build, Sort Of. A Couple Questions

    Thanks for the reply, CloudZ. I tried RipTrippers pulse method for working out coil shorts, and it really seemed to work (Genesis Atomizer Hot Spot Fix When Using A VV/VW Device - YouTube), but when I added e-liquid, I got the same problem as before, the vape turns harsh and dry once I get up to...

    Organic cotton?

    The 'organic' cotton I got at Walmart is 'Swisspers' brand, and it, too, is treated with hydrogen peroxide. I'm going to give boiling a try. In the meanwhile, maybe my teeth will get whiter every time I vape. -- glenn

    So the newb went and bought a mech mod...

    Nice choice, I wanted to get one of those, but it was OOS at my favorite vape shop, so I got a Nemesis clone instead. I totally enjoyed using a clearo on my mech, I swear this setup gave me a more enjoyable vape than my Vamo, but wait until you get into RBAs. The learning curve can be a little...

    Burnt taste kayfun lite any watt

    That's not uncommon for mesh wicks on genesis-style RBAs, but I've never seen it happen with silica. Have you tried troubleshooting using the Kayfun manual? I needed to go through this with some of my early KF (clone) builds, and it worked. I've been getting trouble-free builds ever since...

    Genisis style mod.. What am I doing wrong?

    I'm learning how to set up a genesis-style rba, and it's totally worth climbing the learning curve. I've vaped on a properly-built genny, and it was fantastic. Do you live near any vape shops where you might get some hands-on demonstration? -- Glenn

    Vacuum pop

    I think what you're describing is the sound of juice cooking really well, that sound is music to my ears! :D -- Glenn

    Ekowool in a genesis?

    I just got my first genesis style rba last week. It came with a build already done, and I think -- just talking about me here -- learning how to use mesh is totally worthwhile, the vape I got was off the charts, both for flavor and vapor. I've been struggling trying to do my own first build...

    First Successful Genny Build, Sort Of. A Couple Questions

    I should have said, i'm using 32 gauge, doing 4 wraps (seen from the front of the coil), the way it's shown is a number of Genny demo videos. The initial resistance was 1.5 oHms, but it dropped off to 1.1 as soon as I applied voltage. It my latest build, the bottom leg was tighter, and the...

    Nova Scotia Lung Association - E-cigarette Workshop January 21

    When I get some time i'm going to track down this woman's NBLA email address. She says that some people have 'cut down' their smoking using e-cigs? That comment is either lazy, because it's easy to find accounts of many people quitting smoking entirely, or it's straight up dishonest. I plan to...

    Kayfun/Russian wick setup that works great for me.

    Nice! With the dark e-liquid I've been vaping, i'll be changing cotton soon, and will have to give this a try.

    Nova Scotia Lung Association - E-cigarette Workshop January 21

    Ouch! Has the NBLA CEO explained why he/she takes that position? I can't imagine it's a science-based argument, because AFAIK there's no body of conclusive studies proving that e-cigs pose a significant health risk. How were you received in NS? Did you feel, like Bogmonster, that e-cigs got a...

    First Successful Genny Build, Sort Of. A Couple Questions

    I tried another build, which was better still, but i'm still stumped on a couple things. - When I first apply voltage after finishing the wrap (3V with a regulated mod), I get a fairly drastic resistance drop, .3 or .4 oHms, is this normal? - the vape is only good up to about 4 volts. Anything...

    Kayfun/Russian wick setup that works great for me.

    Nice looking build, but any reason in particular why you leave the cotton so long, and fold it back onto the coil? Have you found that doing it this way improves the performance? -- Glenn

    Lord telescopic mod my Gus Mod

    I think the original quote roughly translates as, 'it's friggin awesome.' :D BTW I saw a Gus V1 telescopic demo video, I think by the maker, recommending that the battery go in nipple end down (unless using a Kick). Does anyone know if it's the same deal with this one? -- Glenn

    Mods that you don't have to remove battery to charge

    No idea whether these are worthwhile, but the Vapeonly vPower regulated mod looks pretty interesting. Both models, 18650 and 18500, use regular Li-Ion batteries, and can be recharged by hooking up the power adapter to the eGo/510 connector. They're VV but not VW. I vaguely recall that they...

    Organic cotton?

    I got a bag of organic cotton at Walmart, a house brand, not Joe Fresh (which is a fashion brand owned by Loblaws). I'm going to take another look at the fine print on the back of the bag I bought; hydrogen peroxide isn't something i'm keen to vape. I know it's used got teeth whitening...
