    Nicotine Comparisons

    stock is rolling out of WL *fast*. 60/100mg varieties are scarce, or already gone.

    Wizard Labs is still down!! Any other suggestions?

    Whew, got one of the last 120ml/60mg it appears (2-ish hrs ago). Somewhat offtopic: has anybody here tried the "American Red TFA" flavor that WL has available? Was wondering how similar it may be to V2 Red/Cowboy, or MFS US Red? I have had luck with converting smoker friends using the MFS...

    Wizard Labs

    I had to drop back and lock-in a 120mL of 60mg, we shall see what the turnaround is going to look like. I too would have assumed they were mostly done with backlogs before they opened the site up to new biz, but I've been wrong before. :)

    Nicotine Comparisons

    I recently picked up a 30mL bottle of 36mg/PG from onestopdiyshop. Price was a "little" high and their first-tier shipping starts at Priority, kinda spendy for just nic, but the shipping was fast (MN to IA) and I needed to restock a bunch flavors anyway. Gets shipped in an amber glass...

    Pros/Cons to VG vs PG nic bases

    You have it pretty much sorted. It is all a matter of personal preference. I usually order 100% PG base to make my other calculations easier. When you have a recipe equation, and your nic base already has some VG, it complicates the math slightly when you go to add more VG to finish the mix...

    Wizard Labs is still down!! Any other suggestions?

    I am sensing this as well. The FDA regulations that are being considered made me re-evaluate my base stockpile, which is why I am here needing WL to re-open! :)

    Wizard Labs is still down!! Any other suggestions?

    waiting patiently here in IA for either RTS, MFS, or WL to get stock back in. I have, in the past, had a good experience using onestopdiyshop's 36mg base. They are only one state away from me (MN) so shipping was super fast. I was getting flavors ordered at the time, tried it on a lark, was...

    wicking materials for vivi nova

    With all of this re-wicking, has anybody tried to ream out the slots on the head to allow the cotton to "puff" more easily? I've seen images of vivi heads drilled out, trying to get some anecdotal knowlege on the efficacy. :) I've also been reading that cotton works best after a "steep time"...

    eGo-T 2 upgrade battery mod question

    I started with the red AW IMR 18650s purchased separately myself when I got my first mod, same for the charger. If you can get AW IMRs from Joyetech, I'd consider purchasing from them. Some mod users are very particular about the brand of cells they run (and I'm one of them). :) I would...

    How long it will take you to break even

    Careful with that seedman stuff, it is *POTENT*.:ohmy: I picked up some commercial, basic, and basic cigarette a while back. A little goes a very long way. Steeping also goes a very long way when using these flavors.

    How long it will take you to break even

    I get 100mg nic from wizard labs, usually the 250mL or 500mL. Cost is high up-front, but diluted down even to 24-25mg levels returns 1-4 Litres of base, much more if you roll at 6, 12mg, etc. My standby is always circus cotton candy. I usually have 3-4 flavors in rotation at any given time...

    How long it will take you to break even

    I echo this exactly. DIY is a great money-saver. 100mL of 24mg cotton candy for less than $5.00! $44-ish bucks can nab you 50 cartos (can easily last 6 mos, more if using tanks and moderate voltages) I've stuck to non-twist ego-t2 upgrade batteries (which is really hard nowadays with the...

    ego this ego that, I'm confused

    Yea, apparently Joyetech was the "Western Electric" to Jantys "AT&T" (boy I sound old now...)

    ego this ego that, I'm confused

    The Smoov 900 you have currently, along with the nova clearomizer, are basically 808 versions of the 510-connection-based eGo setup. Take a 900mAh ego + "stardust" CE4 and it will look almost identical to your current setup. Generally speaking, most "ego style" batteries run unregulated ~3.7V...

    EGO-C vs. EGO-T

    On the second question: 3.7V is what nearly all unregulated batteries will output (on average). Unregulated power starts off the charger around 4.1-4.2V, levels off near 3.7V for the majority of runtime, then slips slowly down until depleted, 3.2V-ish. The original eGo ran a regulated 3.3V...

    Best cotton candy flavoring?

    I have not yet tried FW cotton candy flavor, but I do prefer TFA's Circus CC over their "regular" CC. Circus CC is one of my everyday "go-to" flavors, since it smells nice when at the office, plus the better half likes it too. While regular CC is a very light, slightly sweet flavor, a good...

    Drilling out the vivi head slots for cotton, what process works best for you?

    Would like to try a cotton wick on one of these heads, have had some luck with silica rebuilds already. Some YT vids out there are showing enlarged holes on the slots of the vivi head for better wicking with cotton. I was thinking dremel+ cone bit to slowly bore it out (I have the parts)...

    No proof electronic cigarettes stop addiction

    I wish they would give me two lists.... one list is the health concerns of smoking cigarettes... the actual "smoke" side of the equation... then give me yet a second list with the health concerns wrought by nicotine use alone, with no smoke. Start separating the two and I'll quit looking...

    No proof electronic cigarettes stop addiction

    It's a quasi-legal grey area... use of ecigs has been shown to stop the craving for regular cigarettes that many are addicted to... and will eventually kill them thru continued use... Quasi-legal because NO ecig vendor can legally sell their products with overcoming addiction as a selling...

    US Senators Ties to Big Pharma and Anti-Smoking Legislation

    Seems pretty simple to me.... Big T is obviously "bad" in the eyes of the public... their products cause obvious harm. Big Pharma has the answer, so the money goes... their products cause less obvious harm (especially if you cannot understand the micro machines spokesman at the end of each...
