    Spend More On Vaping Than Smoking

    I'd break even a lot sooner if I didn't have a husband obsessed with mods and RBAs... LOL He wasn't even a smoker (quit in 2000)! All said and done, we've probably spent close to 2,000 - but we're in maintenance mode now. I can recoil, and diving into DIY, so the spending SHOULD slow down...

    how much time do you spend on ECF every day?

    Too much. LOL I'm unemployed right now, though - once I start working again, this will probably change.

    Coil rebuilding question...

    Using a needle helps so much! Remember to not wrap the wire super-tight around the wick as well. Make one, then check the ohms - from there you can figure out how many wraps you need to make.

    You know you're a vaper when....

    This happens every time I vape a bakery flavor - hubby suddenly craves cookies or cinamon rolls. :vapor: You know you're a vaper when: While working in a commercial kitchen, you smell an awesome melon/fruit vape - then go around the corner and find the sous chef making fruit trays. Someday...

    Wasting ejuice?

    Personally, I use my evods until there's only a drop or two of juice left - if I can't see any thru the little window, or if only a little bit collects in the clear top part of the tank when I turn it upside down, that's my indication to refill. You can always pour the last bit of juice back...

    Vaping rituals?

    I'm a tip chopper, too - most of my evods have teeth marks in them. LOL I've even cracked a few...oops Love sitting down every morning and filling my tanks for the day - digging around the juice box deciding what flavors to vape every day, and trying to remember how many times I've refilled a...

    boil your cotton wicks

    I use cotton crochet yarn, and boil it twice (30 minutes each time). If anything, it makes the yarn a little stiffer, and easier to work with. (that's what she said! LOL)

    That worked! What to do when it's not that good...

    Ha! I just started doing the same thing this weekend with some black honey tobacco and vanilla cupcake. Both too strong on their own, IMO, but great mixed!!

    Trying DIY on a smaller scale

    I've been curious about DIY, but just don't have a lot of fundage to try it out at the moment. A friend told me about this: The DIY Flavor Artisan's Master Kit - One Stop DIY Shop Store For a little over $40, I'll be able to make about 190ml of 15mg juice (taking a baby step down from 18mg...

    Use for old ashtrays

    I never owned one! Never smoked in the house, used pop cans/water bottles outside.

    Help with White Rabbit / Alice in Vapeland

    If you figure this out, I'd be so excited! One of my favorite juices, but I'm trying my darnedest to stop buying pre-made.

    ???? for the Ladies....I think

    I have a small front pocket in my purse - usually carry a couple full evods, ego batteries, and a small bottle of juice. If I want to carry my MVP or X6 with a tank attached, I have another pocket on the other side with a snap in the middle, so the PV can stay upright.

    What's your vapey dream job?

    If I lived in Seattle, I'd be all over the Critic job ZampleBox has open right now! Getting paid to rate juices?! Yes, please! Otherwise, I'd love to work at a B&M, but I can't live on minimum wage (only 7.25).

    Acne due to vaping

    I had a few breakouts that started a few weeks after quitting smoking, but it cleared up after about 2-3 weeks. From what I read, this is a very common side effect of the detox process. Hang in there!

    Which city/region has the most developed vape scene?

    Oddly enough, little ol' Boise, ID is REALLY in the vaping scene - the entire metro area has 30+ stores for a population of about 600,000. A bit over saturated, IMO. Most stores carry the same cheapie garbage, but there are a few with staff that know what they're talking about, and sell more...

    It's Official... I'm recoiling all of my dead protank heads!

    I did boil mine twice - 30 minutes each time in separate pots of water. The boost in flavor over silica is definitely noticeable!

    Protank 2 burnt taste. Voltage/wattage questions.

    Topwater is exactly right. The whole VV/VW thing confused me at first, too, but now I'm a voltage girl. LOL Also, are you checking the ohms on each new head that you put in? On my Protank 2, I got 2 heads - one was 2.5, the other was 1.8. That'll make a difference in your choice of volts/watts.

    ejuice

    Dragon's Tempest and XTC are my other favorites from Fuzion. However, do NOT order from Alien Vapor - Alien VISIONS is who you want! Explore this site a little bit to find out why - they're creating an inferior product and trying to take business away from the original maker of Boba's -...

    It's Official... I'm recoiling all of my dead protank heads!

    Woo hoo - congrats! I recently started rebuilding evod/protank heads as well, using 32 gauge kanthal and cotton yarn. The needle trick mentioned earlier is something I'd recommend for sure. I'm going to try wrapping the wire around a machine screw and threading the cotton through next.
