    Keeping Your Center Post Shiny Clean

    I have had experiences with my menu not reading resistance correctly and my vape feeling a bit weak at times due to dirty connections. I used the ball point pen and alcohol dipped q tip to clean the positive electrical contact inside and it worked well. However, the brass post in the 510...

    diluting pg/vg

    The only two reasons I know of to dilute are a) to reduce the nicotine level and b) to reduce viscosity very thick vg to increase wicking capability. If you are having no wicking issues, than you would have no need to dilute.

    oh I hate you USPS!!!

    I used to pay extra for Priority hoping to get my vapemail quicker. I've found first class to be just as fast, sometimes faster.

    Is it really just the nicotine that we are addicted to?

    Search MAOIs in tobacco smoke. This info will give you even more insight as to why quitting smoking is such a struggle.

    I'm not sorry. I really enjoyed that moment

    A feeling of empowerment occurs in such a situation. I'm looking forward to the posts from tnt56 describing the personal satisfaction that only comes when we are doing something with our lives we believe in. I've spent many years working in jobs that I felt I "had to". I'm currently in...

    Want to buy an e-cig kit for my bfriend to help him quit.

    Pinkbo,the short answer to your question is no. You'll get more nicotine in your body from eating cauliflower eggplant potatoes and tomatoes than"second handvape".

    I hope that's all it is browner. My Phoenix gets it pretty warm too.

    is there a big difference between variable voltage mod and variable wattage mod?

    Before vv, a lot of vapers would calculate their preferred wattage by voltage squared divided by resistance and purchased atomizers accordingly.Of course, most attys had/have a + / - .2 ohm variation (sometimes more) of stated resistance. A multimeter was a good tool to get the vape you were...

    Just ordered my first APV!

    First, welcome to ECF. I think you made a good decision for a new vaping experience. The Bombshell Stinger looks nice and the Cobra attys are always in demand. Should you find that genesis style attys aren't for you (not saying you will), there are always people looking to buy one. Besides...

    First DIY order :)

    I use FA Virginia. I ,however, like to mix it at 2-3% with about 2% ethyl maltol or cotton candy flavoring with a little tobacco absolute. Sorry, haven't vaped freedomsmokeusa's to compare. Needs about a week to turn a yellowish color with a slight tint of green, very slight green to my eyes. I...

    Sigelei Zmax

    Maybe it is normal browner. I haven't experienced that yet. I have only had it about 5 days though. I wasn't a big fan of stacking batts before using this pv either but if you check voltage and rotate which goes in the tube first each time, it should be no problem. I don't blame you at all for...

    Sigelei Zmax

    I don't think it is normal . Is it hot from being in your hand all the time ? Are you using a genesis style atty on it? I ask because mine gets a little warm when chain vaping a genny but I think it is just acting as a heatsink . I use the Panasonics sometime too. Did you purchase from a vendor...

    New to DIY Liquid a few questions

    You don't have to clean the atomizer after each change. I personally "vape through". Of course if you want to test your diy flavors you should at least blow the atomizer out and vape a little plain pg or vg and blow it out again before trying a new flavor. BTW, I have found Liberty Flights to...

    Shipping and Tax Question

    Good question. It is probably best answered by the vendor. Perhaps the size of the Vivi Nova's packaging necessitates your shipping container to be up-sized resulting in increased shipping charges?
