    atomizer mod idea

    Any time my atomizer starts tasting burnt or I'm just not getting much vapor, I inevitably find that the wick has fused itself to the coil. I'm wondering if that could be prevented from happening by placing a piece of ss mesh inside, in between the coil and the wick—allowing liquid to flow...

    Eroll cotton wick taste

    Are you sure that was silica wick that turned to dust? I've never had that happen. I'm thinking maybe you got some fiberglass wick by mistake. But anyway, if you're looking for silica wick, I've bought this from LiteCigUSA and it works fine. That 2mm size is a tad fat, so it works best if you...

    Does the Pg:Vg ratio affect nicotine absorption?

    I don't think I ever held VG vapor in my mouth longer than PG vapor. I vape the same way regardless of the VG ratio of the liquid. I bet you're right and it's just a factor of the thicker vapor VG produces. It makes sense that more vapor per puff would carry more nicotine per puff.

    Does the Pg:Vg ratio affect nicotine absorption?

    Oh yeah. I don't know of any studies about it, but from my own experience, VG definitely gives a harder nic hit. VG also makes me feel congested, though, so I mainly stick to PG. Maybe VG lingers in the airways longer and has more time to be absorbed?

    chemical change? Need to get back to base line and start all over

    Hi Kenny. You're not alone. Some people pick up an ecig and make the switch without a hitch. Others experience withdrawal and go through hell. I think it comes down to how dependent you are on all the other stuff in tobacco cigarettes aside from the nicotine. I was more in the latter category...

    I *hate* the inconsistency of the eGo-C attys :(

    I use the eRoll as my primary ecig and think it provides great flavor. I know what you mean about the atomizers, though. Since I use it so much, I have to clean or replace atomizers every 3-5 days. I hate that! Cleaning is a hassle (and only successful for me about 50% of the time) and replacing...

    JOYETECH ERoll

    I've tried vaping without the mouth cap before and liked it (felt like it vaped a bit easier). I worried about condensation dripping out over time, though, so I keep the mouth caps on. The part I've gotten rid of in my tanks is the little circle with the hole in it. I assume that's meant to be a...

    bringing atomizers back to life

    I've discovered that these little dental brushes are good for scrubbing the coil. They're tiny and flexible enough to get down on the sides of the coil too. And you can reuse one of these brushes for many cleanings before it starts to wear out.

    Burnt juice on my battery???

    I've had a bit of juice seep thru the atomizer and onto the battery contact many times. I just dab it with a q-tip or rolled-up tissue. If it's stubborn, dampen the swab with a little water or alcohol or even ecig liquid. Be sure to dry-swab the contact again after damp-swabbing.

    Congressman's reply to FDA regulation

    I've been having this annoying cough...

    I do think vapor can aggravate an already irritated throat, but I doubt it's a cause. You may just be experiencing seasonal allergies. My husband (who doesn't smoke or vape) and I (a vaper) both have issues with a dry throat/cough thing and clearing our throats, particularly at this time of...

    The new Number Two

    Vapo Marx, The problem you described... let's just say I'm very familiar with it. And I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it can go on for quite some time. I had that issue for TWO YEARS after I quit smoking. It went on so long that I nearly forgot what normal was! But right around the 2...

    What other rig Complements an eRoll?

    I use my eRoll most of the time now, even when I'm chain vaping while surfing the web or watching TV. But when I do switch off to something else, it's always my trusty old 510 setup: standard 510 atty, DSE 901 flat tip cart w/Fluval filler, and a mini eGo battery.

    Dripping with the eRoll question

    Yeah, that'll work. And if you're just taking a few puffs to check the flavor, you really don't even need to stick a tank on there. You can do a couple "stovepipe" drags straight off the atomizer sleeve (any more than a few drags and it'll get too hot to do that).

    House Dems call for cigar, e-cigarette regulations over 'kid-friendly' products

    Since when is flavor enjoyment exclusive to people under 18?! I dont' know of any vendor that will sell to anyone under 18, but it would certainly be a good idea to make that a law. Going after flavors, though? NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!! It's the tasty flavors that allow us grown ups to enjoy our...

    What the hell is that taste (burnt)

    When I've torch-cleaned my wick, I left it in the steel mesh, but didn't torch the steel mesh. What I did was hold it by the steel mesh end with a pair of tweezers and use a cigarette lighter to torch the exposed wick. It worked fine for me, turning the wick white again without burning the mesh.

    Why vapers are never satisfied: A Theory.

    Agree with the OP. For some of us, smoking addiction was about more than nicotine and habit. I didn't actually feel like myself until I'd been vaping (and smoke free) for 7 months. I went through lots of ups and downs during those early months and I'm quite sure it was due to the lack of the...

    Vaping in a Movie Theater

    I haven't been to a movie theater in ages now, but I did stealth-vape in the back row once. It wasn't a kids movie and it wasn't a full theater, so I felt okay about it. I've also smuggled in my own drinks and snacks before, even brought beer one time! So there you have it—I'm a total movie...
