    Lighter subject: what are some funny side effects you've had since switching to vaping?

    Had a few friends over to watch a game. I went to the bathroom and was vaping while doing my business. Right after I was done, a friend used the bathroom. When he came back, he said "dude, you need to cut down on coffee. your "poop" (censored version) smell like a coffee" Yes, i was vaping...

    Can I burn coils with Variable Wattage?

    you can't "burn out" a coil. you can certainly pop it by sudden surge of power but this is hard to with APV. also, wicks used for stock heads are made out of silica and it takes extremely high temperature to burn it. when people referring to burn taste, it isn't the wick burning but rather...

    Coil Ohm's. Why is one better then the other?????

    Similar to boiling water in a small pot vs. pot twice as big. If both pots are at boiling temperature, which one will give you more steam? However, to boil the larger pot, you will need lot more heat. Hence, same resistance level (ohms) of dual coil requires twice as much of battery power.

    Finally quit the stinkies: Mvp or VTR

    We are fortunate enough to have vaping becoming main stream and have many options. Some people buy cars to go from point A to B. Some buy to collect. Some buy for speed. Some for work. Vaping is become similar to this. Nothing wrong with collecting mod if you are collector. Some get more...

    Newbie first purchase, how did I do?

    Get yourself a reliable VV/VW with some tank system first. Get that into auto pilot, so you can continue to stay off analog. When you start doing rebuilds, you will not get reliable and consistent vaping and it can easily throw you off. First few months, this can easily set you back to...

    next time when you are buying refill, try getting lower resistance.

    Newbie first purchase, how did I do?

    Nice looking coil! :D I think you have caught up! :) Try using 1/16" bit with 28 or 30gauge. Bring it down to 1 - 1.3ohms. Lots of people (including myself) find that to be a sweet spot. Also try using less cotton. Excess cotton on the other side of deck will just holds the juice and...

    trying to get the biggest cloud I can

    Oh man! Sorry to be one to tell you this, but Cloud chasing boat has sailed. That's out of fashion and flavor chasing is in. Even people doing dragon coil is backing off since it kills the taste. Running 0.3 with VG and puffing huge cloud? boring. old news. Why people chaining to cotton...

    abbreviations vs complete wording

    i have a slight different take on this. usage of abb should encourage new members to ask the question. knowing what RDA stands for isn't really helpful until someone explain what it is. so, my suggestion is to ask if you don't know what it is. ECF is one of those rare forum where people...

    OD on One Hit?

    to get best flavor out of juice, not only should you shake it before use, you should consider steeping it for at least 48hrs. especially heavy stuff like butter scotch. not uncommon to find people steeping for a week. this ensure proper mix of nic and rest of the content. one thing to note...

    I was direct dripping w an ego... Now what?

    if you already have several eGo, I would suggest to just use them for now. most people upgrade to full size APV within a few weeks these days. full size tank with full size APV seems to be better fit for all day vaping. instead of kit, just get some full size tanks and start vaping. 3 popular...

    help looking for a clear glass tank.....

    It's basically a traditional cartomizer in the middle of a tank. A few holes on the side of carto for juice flow. Much bigger vapor than clearo. With right tank like IBTanked, virtually leak-proof if used in right way. For me, clearo delivers better flavor, but carto is definitely more...

    4.6 ohms?

    I wouldn't use that head. If it is way over the stamped rating, it must have some sort of short or defect. One thing you can do is to try pulsing it at normal voltage. Sometimes, this helps to "settle" the coil in. When in doubt, just toss it. Not worth frying your battery over.

    I need a small setup

    Portability needs might be different between male and female. For guys with pocket, compact shape fits better than the long tubes. I have been looking at MicroStick and planning to get one during next round. MicroStick (shipping in 15-30 days after payment) - Mini ECIG For ladies with pulse, it...

    Just made the switch from tobacco cigarettes. Need some guidance on e-cig voltage settings...

    All great and helpful post. I do want to caution new vapers on coil rebuilds on clearomizer head. In general, rebuilders coil for better flavor and vapor. Doing this to save money isn't a good reason for the clearomizer atty. As for cotton wicks, they don't last long and will require...

    What battery to buy for protank

    MVP v2 should give you the best bang for your buck. Since there are many options, you need to figure out how much you are willing to spend. For removable battery mods, you will need to buy few batteries and charger. If you want a tube mod, vamp, zmax, or svd is popular. if you are willing to...

    Another noob question

    VV/VW like eGo twist is a good way to achieve better vaping. Be sure to try out lower ohms atty heads and play with different setting. No matter the gear, learning how to find the sweet spot is most important. For me, clearomizer is simple to use and gives stronger flavor. However...
