    I gotta stay away from...

    It's good that you've found a diet that works, but it's removing things like gamma tocopherol that make a real difference. Around raw feeding circles dry food is called "death nuggets". Feeding your dog needs to be manageable and I really can't recommend raw feeding for everyone because it can...

    Kanger Protank Bad flavor!

    I'd recommend that any new device you buy should be be washed in (at least) boiling hot water before use. This includes, tanks, clearos, atomisers, heads, and drip tips. If you're wondering why it seems that your new devices taste like they are full of machine coolant, oil, or some other...

    Need a little tank help/suggestions

    Yes, more or less however you will probably find they last longer. Because it's always saturated from juice in the tank and never runs dry you manage avoid vaping them dry and burning them.

    I gotta stay away from...

    Yep, cats and dogs are not omnivors, no matter what the stupid "experts" try to tell you. Look at the teeth, and when did you see a cat raiding the pantry and stealing the corn on the cob? Dogs will actually crunch up a cooked corn cob because they find it amusing to do so, but if ingested...

    Vamo V3 cut out problems

    beatchya too :-) I don't believe the trustfires actually have a true protection board in them. They have a board that includes short circuit protection so that they can say it is protected, but it's not actually 2C current protected. I also discovered that the "short circuit protection"...

    Vamo V3 cut out problems

    Agreed - the problem is the battery. When the voltage drops below 3.2 V the Vamo will turn off. Some of these cheap batteries are so hopeless they do indeed drop below 3.2 volts when they are under even a modest loads. I bought four Ultrafire "1200mAh" batteries just to try them. One was...

    My own pet hate; on dog food: "contains no preservatives" then "contains Vitamin E". .......s. Here's how they get around it. Vitamin E is a preservative, but the good stuff, alpha-tocopherol is really quite expensive, too expensive to throw in dog food. It is however quite essential for the...

    Any advice for someone strictly into flav(ap)oring?

    Provaries are very good, but most APVs will "let you try a lot of delivery systems". I wouldn't recommend the Reomizer though - that is for bottom fed box mods. If you want to try a dripper you'd probably be better off with something like the Igo-L or similar. Don't wrap coils on polyfill, it...

    Suggestions about hardware for someone with hand problems

    I'd have to agree, the requirements for pushing a single protruding button are nothing compared to unscrewing top caps and squeezing juice in there and not getting it down the center tube. I'm inclined to think the wide top coil devices like the Vivi and the iClear are easier than the Protanks...

    How much do you spend on e-liquids a month?

    The next cheapest would probably be Yaeliq from Israel. $18 per 100ml and free shipping for orders over $50. They get mixed reviews, as most juice companies do. I've thought of trying them, more due to curiosity than anything else since I already DIY for one third the price. If you weren't...

    Smaller Mech Mods

    The K100 is pretty small in 18350 mode. It has a safety button so perfectly fine in a pocket or bag. Chuck the long carto and drip sheild and put a tiny dripper on there and it's tiny. $21.15 Empire KeCig K100-101 Mechanical Rechargeable Electronic Cigarettes Set - black / without battery at...

    I gotta stay away from...

    If you're not running at higher volts, then it's too cold/too thick. That's when you flip the head over. If it's still not working, maybe the head is just EOL and needs swapping out. Now, after all my efforts last night on AVF (Australian Vapers Forum, like ECF) the OP said he was running...

    I gotta stay away from...

    I think I'm turning into a cranky cuss, and it's not lack of nicotine. Every other post seems to be about people burning their BCC at the moment. Is this blog too cranky? http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/fabricator4/5045-bottom-coil-clearomizers.html Not aimed at you Shadav, I...

    Bottom Coil Clearomizers

    I seem to be writing the same thing about bottom coil devices lately, trying to stop people burning them. Usually they have heard wonderful things about them and try to turn them up to get them to perform like a smoke machine. This is the wrong approach that will ultimately lead to...

    bottom coil clearomizers

    Nevertheless, a true 8 watts on almost any bottom coil clearo will burn it after a while. If you like to chain vape you can get away with 6.5 watts for almost any length of time, but even then you can still burn them. The anology was to dispel the statement that "nothing can be made more...

    bottom coil clearomizers

    They usually burn the coil, then start ripping wicks out and have flooding issues. They just need to run them at Kanger's recommendations and learn how they are supposed to work, before trying to turn them into a fog machine. ;-) Seems like I'm on a Kanger/Protank crusade today.

    Newbie looking for tank recs

    The Kanger Protank 2 is excellent, and the little version of it is the mini Protank. Pyrex, so no problems with any juice. You could also consider the iTaste VV V3 for the battery. It has VV, VW, and an ohmmeter. $24.80 iTaste VV V3.0 Variable Voltage / Wattage 800mAh Rechargeable Battery -...

    How much do you spend on e-liquids a month?

    In a country where I have to import all liquids containing nicotine I could easily spends hundreds of dollars per month. Instead, most of us DIY. I vape about 150-180ml per month, at a cost including freight on the nicotine base of about $9 - $12 per month.

    bottom coil clearomizers

    Well an insulated house is more efficient to heat than an un-insulated one. The coil is buried down the bottom under all the juice - it runs a bit cold to start, but run them as per the Kanger instructions and you will do OK. When they are cold by all means run them at 8 watts, but as soon as...
