    Resistance Wire - Kanthal/Nichrome

    These metals take a pretty high temperature to vaporize.... much higher than we'd be heating them at. Any study I have read, though not specifically dealing with RBAs, has shown that any harmful substance in the vapor was in such low numbers it was detectable, but not measurable. Aluminum is...

    Resistance Wire - Kanthal/Nichrome

    I just picked up some Kanthal D ribbon 32 gauge, a little lower on the resistance than I'd hoped but AMAZING clouds of vapor on my Cobra. Freaking huge.

    Short reviews of various models. Blu-cig worst of all.

    Sounds like dry hits from some bad cartos. Yuck. That's such old technology, OP. You have come to the right place to learn all about the wondrous advances in ecigs. Get an EGO with a better battery life than those little ciggie sized batteries, then a clearo like the Vivi Nova that you can fill...

    Short reviews of various models. Blu-cig worst of all.

    Oh man, did you seriously try ALL of those cig look-alikes? Sorry... Thanks for the reviews. And welcome. You will soon be on to much better things here. Get yourself an EGO when you get the money back from the Blu kit, seriously. It's almost 3AM and I am pretty tired. Check out the blog I have...

    Vamo vs Tesla

    Awwe I got a Tesla, I love the name and I think it's rather unique. Although I won't be vaping it in public. I wouldn't buy it if it were to be my ONLY device. My ONLY device would be a Provari... oh wait, that IS my only device! I just bought a Tesla as my second and backup device, something to...

    Welcome, and I definitely look forward to your rather unique and unorthodox voice, lol, way up in the sticks, NY.

    Looking to make the jump to V V/VW mod. Confused on battery selection

    Yup, just wanted to make sure you didn't buy the wrong ones! They have a return policy but nobody likes to buy the wrong batteries for their new toy. Good choice in the Orbtronics though for sure, the 2900 mAh was the longest life I found in the high drain, but a pair of them lasts me well over...

    Looking to make the jump to V V/VW mod. Confused on battery selection

    OP, what you need is an IMR 18650, not that battery. The Innokin iTaste specs page clearly states it uses IMR batteries. You don't need a protected battery, you need one with the proper chemistry. That means one meant for high drain. The Panasonics ARE good. I have the Orbtronics in my Provari...

    New Vaper, Please help, Resistance & Mod ?s

    Good choice! That is a huge jump from a V2 to a Provari. I started at a V2, had a few in between then finally landed on the Provari and to be honest it could be my one and only ecig. It is magnitudes ahead of most other ecigs out there let alone a V2 lol. With your Mini Vivi Nova, you will...

    Is it Safe?

    PV = Personal Vaporizer. Many here don't like to say "ecig" or electronic cigarette etc because of the negative connotation or misnomer associated with the word cigarette. Personal Vaporizer really is more accurate a term.

    Is it Safe?

    Yes it is safe. Studies I have read show that the amount of any harmful substances in the vapor are so negligible, they aren't even measurable. The greater risk posed to children is the ejuice; keep that under lock and key as nicotine is a poison. What is a safe amount for you to handle could...

    Menthol E liquid in the eye

    As with any chemical in the eye, flush for 15 mins with water. There is nothing I have read about it causing any damage, and there have been a few threads about this over the years, so there is no need to go to emergency. There have been people who have actually mistook their bottles of ejuice...

    Is a VV Mod Worth the Money For Me?

    I do notice a big difference in ejuices when I vape at different voltages. For example, yesterday I was vaping a chocolate at a 5.0V on my Provari, then swapped tanks to a blueberry lemonade. I was wondering why the juice felt like it was "burning" my tongue! Then I realized the voltage I had it...

    I am getting depressed/frustrated...

    Mini vivi novas are fine. The knock-offs suck. If you ordered Vision branded, then don't worry about the advice you got. There are "better" clearos out there, for sure but the Visions are good and very popular for a reason. They are easy to use, and easy to swap the heads out, and I buy them for...

    Doh - Incoming Tesla and Provari Mini

    I have the Mini and a Serenity leather case with carabiner and neck strap to go with it. I really like the case, it's a "dragon skin" to go along with my Dragon themed Provari. The only thing is, it's VERY tight and I've been trying to figure out how to stretch it. I suppose I could ask them to...

    Trigger Pulled

    I have exactly the same one as you. I felt a few pangs after I purchased it, of "oh my god I just spent THAT much money on an ecig?" but the moment I fired it up, I was in love. And, considering what I spent on cheaper ecigs that broke or I wasn't happy with, this will pay off over time. I may...

    Smoking like crazy

    I eased in to the vaping but it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. The first day that I swapped out my morning cig with a few minutes of vaping, and I was ok with that, it was a triumph. Celebrate those victories. I gradually substituted out cigs for vaping during my morning coffee...

    Rebuildable Dripping Atty build

    Very cool. I was looking for a dripper so I could taste a few drops before I filled my tanks, but then I figured I should maybe just buy a Phoenix. There are only a few RBAs that have the wick and coil at the bottom, so it's my understanding those are considered the drippers, as the rest have...

    Student Marketing Project Survey on E-Cigs

    Took your survey, MBA grad and like many of us ECF snobs I don't know how much of a "typical" ecig user I am, in that I have graduated from V2 in the start to advanced devices including the Provari. The cig look alikes are what get the marketing dollars and were what probably introduced the...
