    Turns out I need to practice my tint skills, but I'll get it perfect next time. Not sure what grade tint it is, got it as scrap from a local tint shop, looks damn cool though.

    Is it safe?

    a surgeon explained to me that beyond all of the carcinogens associated with cigarettes, smoking reduces the amount of available oxygen in the blood stream which in turn impedes the body's ability to heal and preform normal functions. He unofficially recommended that I try e-cigs to get off of...

    Thanks, this board is a total winner so far. I've only run it up to 10 watts on a carto tank, definitely gets hot. I like the li-po batteries too, with the 2 in parallel I have a 20c (22 amp) potential discharge rate to prevent any kind of a power sag. I think that when these boards become more...

    porous ceramic testing.

    I would like to play with ceramic, but finding the proper grade and correct orifice at a realistic price has been challenging. How much additional time does the 6mm wick take to get to temp?
