    Could use some help

    Good choice on the k-101. I really think it is a decent introduction to mechanical mods.Enjoy the learning curve of the AGA T2. May be frustrating at first but worth the perseverance. I'd like to suggest getting kanthal wire from temco industrial supply. I like to have 28awg, 30awg,32awg and...

    Newly converted, and have some questions

    Most batteries will last awhile. A definitive number of charges can't really be given . A number of factors will contribute to prolonging the life of your batteries such as: Charge them often. You don't have to wait until they discharge to the point that the unit will no longer fire. In fact...

    Dang!! Broke my new to me Grand within an hour.

    Yes, I found out how easy the pin is to strip :). I'll be ordering parts as I'm confident I won't be over tightening next time. I'll post a pic when I get her running.

    what does your username mean?

    Mine is simply my favorite song by my favorite band. When I wanted to use it on a music forum long ago, it was taken so I added my house number to the end. The " i " in "gimmie" was on the original album Let It Bleed and the song is also been referred to as Gimme Shelter. I like the version...

    Does anyone sell P&G Superol VG?

    Superol is a line of vegetable glycerin made by Proctor and Gamble. About a year and a half or so ago, there was a thread on ECF about how to get a sample from P&G. Many folks received up to a two gallon sample. It is VERY good VG, tastes great and is not as thick as say Humco VG from Wal-Mart...

    K100 Mechanical Mod Users Reply Here :)

    I have the K-101 which is the same mod with a different outer sleeve design. I bought the unit only as I wasn't fond of the supplied batteries. It is a really nice , affordable mechanical. Depending on what you are using for a juice delivery system, sanding the contact points is optional as it...

    Welcome to ECF xBobbyx. Could you elaborate some on your issues you are having with your Vamo ? What kind of "weird readings" are you getting ? Does anything at all fire on it ? With more info, perhaps we can help troubleshoot your problem. It may be as simple as replacing the insulator under...

    Ok...so what is go great about ProVaris?????

    ProVari is great but perhaps not for everyone. I'm very curious what your localshop owner priced the ProVari and what exactly is included at that priced. Perhaps he was pushing a product that may cost less but have a higher profit margin. Spend what you want to spend. It's all good really. I...

    Analog this, Analog that.

    Many folks do not care for the term analog to refer to cigarettes. I personally don't care for it myself. However, we as vapers, are members of a subculture and this subculture has a number of terms that have grown to be accepted vernacular. I don't use the term analog and there is no...

    How Do You Thicken the Juice???

    The most viscous vg I have experienced has been Humco brand found at Wal-Mart and other retailers. Some people say that they don't like it though I never had an issue with it. The Humco vg has a considerably thicker consistency than the vg that I'm currently using (Proctor & Gamble Superol).

    How Do You Thicken the Juice???

    Are you factoring your flavorings as part of the PG final ratio? If you aren't, you need to and if you already are doing that than you need more vg in your mix for it to be thicker.

    What's your favorite thing about vaping?

    TBH (and this isn't meant to be cute), I really thought the best part was finally being free of the hold tobacco had on my life but I've found the community aspect of vaping - the friendships and general camaraderie I've found, is the best part of vaping. I never struck up conversations with...
