    You mean Isador Buchmann? Yes, that's actually not a bad idea. As I said he's not a chemist, but since it's his site they are using to misquote, it might be appropriate to get him to respond. How about it? Any chance of sending the original claims to him and asking for a response?

    See how you go - as I said I did have a liquid with absinthe in it at the time. It might have been pushing the envelope too far. Avoid the tank crackers and if you get 2-3 month out of each one you are still well ahead of the bet. ;-) I had a lot of trouble getting the top off the tank, but...

    Umm, OK it's a cycloptic clown with an external liver. I think he's improving, that eye is a work of art. Shame the photographer had no idea which way was up. ETA: Actually, I think you can buy the eyes. They use them in pottery: the eye is molded into the clay and it fuses when it's fired...

    You should have asked her if she had read it, because she obviously has not. Maybe email her back and ask her which paragraph is the important bit, because there's nothing that suggests that a normally operating battery is dangerous to the user. The warnings are about incorrectly using...

    There's no o-ring to replace, and no space to put one. It's just plastic press fit. If I had a small lathe I could fix it easy, but it's about the only thing I don't have :-) I lack the bandwidth for doing much with videos at the moment. My data is also kind of pooched for this billing cycle...

    I had a device fail in the last few days. It was a cheapie, but a bit of a puzzle: https://www.fasttech.com/products/1363501 I tried one of these cheap Evods to see what it was like. Good delivery devices under three bucks are rare (aint that the truth!). My first impressions were great -...

    I find that to smooth a flavour, one drop of bourbon vanilla per 10ml does the trick nicely. It take s the edge off an overly harsh flavor without actually tasting like vanilla.

    900MAh voltage?

    I think what has happened is they have ripped the image off another site. Most of the other images on the site show product placed on hessian and shot with a straight down spotlight. That one was shot on a high key background, with a foil reflector and badly photoshopped on the cut which was...

    I'm yet to try the sucralose, but it's on my to-do list. I tried to find the thread, but discovered the battery thread instead. Sorry, playing spot-the-fake distracted me. :-)

    900MAh voltage?

    If I can jump in; this game looks like fun... The mAh rating (in the description) doesn't agree with what's on the battery but I'm concerned on a completely different level. See how the wrapping is a bit crinkled/loose? The crimp on the can is poorly defined which makes it look like it's been...

    ATTENTION!!! Calling all MOD users!!!

    The eVic has a USB port that will charge the battery, but I'm not sure if it works as a passthrough. In any case it's generally not really an issue because you usually have more than one battery for a mod - put the flat battery on charge, put a fresh battery in the mod and continue vaping. I...

    EM doesn't really add a lot of sweetness to the palate, Sucralose on the other hand is ALL sweetness on the palate. Recommendations seems to be to start with one drop in 10ml, however even that may be sweeter than you need. There's also reports of people not liking the taste, saying they get a...

    Yay! Myrany's building a box mod! The dremel tool should be find for small holes. You then just use a conical burr or similar to make the hole the correct size. The best thing is that you can build them into almost anything. I saw a design that had the 510 connector recessed into the case by...

    Yes, absolutely. The LED/resistor won't be between the battery and the 510 connectory, it will be in parallel to it after the switch. The resistor is there only to limit the current through the LED to about 10mA or so otherwise it would blow. Just leave them out if you want a stealth vaping...

    Also, many of these torches are designed to be water proof - they do not have any venting themselves. If gassing was any kind of issue in normal use then one way waterproof relief valves would be a requirement. Faulty batteries venting in a torch is a different safety issue, and one that...

    1) In none of the tests done on cigalikes has there ever been mention of battery fumes being being present. If there was an issue, someone would have spotted it by now. Strangely enough, most of the tests do and have used cigalikes CASAA: New study confirms that chemicals in electronic...

    Yeah I think it might be good. We can see how it works out - but it doesn't matter if it gets used a little, or a lot. It's just a central meeting place that is not public. People can use it as a website based forum if they wish, or they can do everything through their own email. An email...

    Problem with my 510-CE2

    The CE2 appears to be a disposable top coil device. You'll need to replace it every 1 to 2 weeks or every 20 - 40ml depending on how you use. Sometimes they last longer or shorter. YMMV. I don't know your battery so you'd need to talk to Canada Vapes about the red light flashing. It might...
