    Still no taste - driving me mad

    It can, and it's a bad place to be in. At this point it is cotton tongue and seems to be caused by dehydration and the PG messing with the bacteria balance in your mouth and especially on your tongue. Brush your teeth often and use a mouth wash no more than twice a day. I find sipping Indian...

    New guy off the deep end quick!

    The Reo is unregulated so you are at the mercy of battery voltage so it's a steeper learning curve. When you get it right though, the flavour is much better than any clearo. The key is picking the right resistance atomiser for the way you like to vape. 2.2 ohms would be perfect for a fresh...

    Taking apart the Protank 1

    Normally, if it's leaking then you should be able to shift it with just constant pressure and a bit of a wiggle. There was an issue with some of the earlier Protank 1's. You could try some gentle heat such as putting it in boiling water for a few minutes if it's not moving. Reseating and...

    How to convert a smoker to a vaper?

    But at the end of the day they have to want to make the change, you can't force them. If you remember what it was like - the harder someone told you you should give up smoking, the more you smoked anyway. At least you are showing him some different possibilities. The key to it is often...

    Provari...why do people get uptight?

    The humour is in the ambivalence, saying one thing and meaning another. The thread was always going to get closed I'm afraid, half the people reading it are not going to get it and will be disturbed/offended by it and there's good chance you will offend a lot of those that do actually get the...

    Vamo insulation inside?

    Correct. If you've got a good one you should get a lot of use out of it. The weak link is generally the 510 connector. The threads are a little soft and it's possible to push the center pin in. I've heard of people stripping the 510 threads (leave a clearo on it, put in your back pocket...

    What are you waiting for in the mail?

    That depends. If you need it tomorrow, then yes.

    Is " Start Simple" Really a Good Option for Noobs?

    The point is that a newcomer usually does not know what they want. By the time they know that it's going to be a hobby they already know what to get and don't really need to ask. There are exceptions of course, but the average person doesn't want a hobby, they just want to find out if it will...

    Vamo insulation inside?

    No one who still has their ankles. :D :evil: The pro thingy would have been just as badly in need of an IPA bath.

    Vamo insulation inside?

    That looks perfectly normal. I had to give my vamo an IPA bath because After six month of juice mishaps the button was misfiring It went for swim in some dirty water after it fell out of my pocket A little after that the orange fiber washer came out, so I presume that the glue had...

    Comment by 'fabricator4' in 'On dry burning clearomiser heads'

    Recoiling is not difficult, and it's possible to make an extremely good coil after few goes. Mostly I build the coil on silica wick, but I don't rebuild every time. If I have a very good coil I will dry burn it and use it again. Cost-wise, it doesn't take much to rebuild each time. It...

    Comment by 'fabricator4' in 'On dry burning clearomiser heads'

    Even funnier when you realise that I'd only written it a few hours before. Questions seem to come in batches, which is when I have been starting to blog them. What sort of burnt taste is it? If it's the ashy taste you experience while dry burning then you do need to boil after dry burning...

    On dry burning clearomiser heads

    Note: also applies to atomiser coils of any type however the disposable CE4's referred to in the quote are not really suitable for this treatment as they can not be dissassembled. After dry burning you really must boil them otherwise you will just be tasting the burnt ash from the dry...

    Newbie from Australia :)

    It's illegal to sell nicotine in Australia so this has slowed the acceptance of vaping generally. It's currently rare to meet other vapers in the wild, but a lot more people at least know what it is now. There's still plenty that look at you like you are from another planet if you try to...

    Comment by 'fabricator4' in 'Happier days coming, I hope.'

    Unfortunately an emotional roller coaster ride is a common side affect of not smoking, and it's not all just about the vagaries of the equipment. It affects everyone differently and the people who tell us to just stop smoking because all that is required is a bit of willpower are correct for...

    Hi all, need help with a starter kit.

    Not as far as the actual charging is concerned, no. I do it myself very occasionally if the computer is the only power source available. Basically you've got a circuit inside the battery that controls the charge shutoff, that they probably manufacture for less than $1 in China. There there's...

    Hi all, need help with a starter kit.

    The cell phone charger is just fine. It sounds like you are all set. If the flavour and nicotine are too strong (you will know) then you can dilute them with good quality PG and VG if you have to, but try them as-is for now and see how you go.

    Hi all, need help with a starter kit.

    That's pretty good. You'll just need a USB wall charger if you don't have one already, and some e-liquid in your choice of flavour and strength. I recommend 18mg/ml or 24mg/ml if you were a heavy full flavour smoker. Maybe get a variety of flavours and strengths. Some people do find the...

    Hi all, need help with a starter kit.

    No, your viewpoint is perfectly valid. Doubly so since you are also a new vaper - if it is working well as a good introduction to vaping for you I can't think of a higher recommendation. We love hearing success stories here. The Evod starter kit is one of the most recommended kits I've seen...
