    Why Buy American?

    So an American-made clone is "better" than a Chinese-made clone because it was made in America? Here's another fun little tidbit, from the Wall Street Journal: Are Designer Sunglasses Worth the Price? - WSJ.com It's about the differences between "designer" sunglasses and "other"...

    Why Buy American?

    Yeah- come back to me when you get real "facts" instead of generalizations, or have to face being on maternity leave with no pay (FMLA or S&A), or have your company decide to drop your pay while you work longer hours and tell me how loyal you'd be. Everyone thinks their worth something-...

    Why Buy American?

    Yeah... they usually bltch from their Chinese-made computer/tablet/smartphone while having their Chinese-made TV or stereo playing in the background. I'm big into golf- I build my own sticks, want to get into the business of it. But what people don't realize is that there's only about 10...

    4 months & $1400 later...

    It doesn't matter what you use- it could be the Blu's for all anyone can care- as long as you're happy, that's all that matters.

    help with volcano tube...

    I have a L-Tube chrome clone. My "brick and mortar" store calls it the Lambo. At any rate, I switch out carto's/atty's on a whim... when I use 1.7 shorty's, I keep the volts at 3.9-4 (9W). If I go with 3.2 (carts/attys) I bump it to 5.4... as you can tell, I prefer 9W. I don't have any...

    Vendors who adjust flavor for nic content?

    I don't notice it- just the throat hit.

    Is it worth trying to build and sell a mod these days?

    My buddy just built a box mod; it runs off 3 batteries and with a 5ohm HR carto measures a hair over 29W. When my friends and I first got into this, he built all our mods, but said it felt "too much like a job". He still builds the occasional mod- he's currently building me a 5v tube mod a la...

    Looking for recommendations on a 5 volt mod for a reasonable price, don't need VV

    Aside from a normal box mod- like what Muzichead is suggesting- there isn't anything I can think of that does 5v and runs on 14500's. You could always DIY one out of a flashlight: DIY E-Cig Flashlight Mod - Hookah Forum for Hookah Pro (not my work, just found on a search) That will give...

    Tube Mods..

    Lavatube and Maxi RS. But seriously, why wonder what everyone else is using? It shouldn't matter- get what YOU want. I'll be gahdammed before I spend >$80 on a mod. For me, this isn't some symbol I'm showing off like we're comparing ourselves in the shower... it's a device that has helpped...

    Newbie DIY Question #2! Pls advise!

    I use BreakTru's software and I source my stuff from various places (wizard labs being my "go to", I suppose). I use a syringe for measurements. That's pretty much all I need for good-tasting, big-vaping liquid. I don't care about steeping, sitting, bribing the liquid, or whatever. Mix it...

    Variable Voltage vs. Variable Wattage: Which is better and why?

    How does one define "superior"? As was stated previously, it IS completely subjective; ecigs/PV's are about kicking a bad habit. Period. Someone likes to fiddle with their device to find their "it" setting... someone else doesn't want to do that. Still others are completely satisfied with a...

    Cool! The meter on top (and in blue) is a nice touch, as well.

    How much nicotine do I need?

    I agree. 24mg is generally good for pack a day smokers.

    Having a really hard time switching

    When I switched, I went with 24mg nic and 70/30 PG/VG mixes. I also went with tobacco-based flavors; in my head, it felt like I was crossing a bridge. It's been a little over 8 months now without an analog. A big draw for me is the amount of variety in an ecig. I can vape pretty much any...

    Do you think E- Cig will make real cigarettes obsolete ?

    Love the intelligence behind this post, scared that it'll come true... Pink Floyd said it best: "Mama should I trust the government?".

    Do you think E- Cig will make real cigarettes obsolete ?

    There'll be a place for both. I think it's a mental thing: some of the people I've turned on to ecigs stuck with it, but just as many don't. Some don't like the hassle, some "don't get it" (seriously, they say that) because they can't get past that it isn't always like smoking. My biggest...
