    Will a higher ohm coil last longer than a lower ohm coil?

    Just knowing the ohms doesn't tell you anything else about the coils. They could have the same gauge wire and coil diameter with the higher resistance having more wraps. Or they could have the same gauge wire and coil diameter with the higher resistance having a larger diameter coil. Or they...

    Will a higher ohm coil last longer than a lower ohm coil?

    The 0.8Ω, 8 wraps of 27 AWG Kanthal, micro coil in my daily driver REO will be 6 months old Saturday. For the same material and form factor (i.e. round), lower resistance wire is thicker (like delivering water from a fire hose rather than a garden hose).

    New Study of Passive Vaping Shows No Evidence of a Significant Public Health Hazard

    That's why a number of us use deodorant instead of antiperspirants, and use roll-ons rather than aerosols. I'd think aluminum could only come from the coil.

    Are we going to win this war?

    Tobacco premiums, which were limited to 20% prior to the ACA (now up to 50%), are windfall profit for insurance companies. They don't just care if you smoke anymore, they now care if you use ANY tobacco product. The CO test only covers smoking. Current testing methods capture smokes, dip, chew...

    Are we going to win this war?

    The future of e-smoking nicotine is advertising-restricted, locally purchased, federal, state, and locally taxed, tobacco flavored, disposable e-cigarettes and pre-filled/non-refillable cartomizers deemed substantially equivalent by the FDA, containing no more than about 40 mg of nicotine per...

    By Leo : Attys, mods, Drip-tips, tanks [CLOSED}

    I don't boil organic cotton. Instead of just pulling the silica straight out, I would "unscrew" it out of the coil. Whether you turn it clockwise or counterclockwise depends on which direction the coil is wound.

    Is it drip envy?

    Use disposable attys such as the Joyetech 510, or the Empire Mods or Cisco attys, along with a drip tip.

    How Do I Store Nicotine for the Long Term?

    I just check to ensure the 100 mg/ml liter bottle is filled up to the neck to minimize surface area, put the bottle in a heavy-duty zip-lock bag inside another, and stand it up in the freezer. That's it.

    A nicoholic's LIFELINE

    If you're dependent on vaping nicotine instead of smoking tobacco, perhaps you should read this before buying that next mod or other gear. 500 ml (a bit over a pint) of 100 mg/ml (10%) nicotine base only costs about as much as a carton of cigarettes. It keeps for years in the freezer and will...

    How could you sleep with a Sophia on the way? :lol: (I'd be sleeping on the porch)

    My university policy on vaping

    I'd speak to their supervisor and nicely explain the situation.

    Also... don't forget it's registered mail you have to sign for. If I'm alone in the house, I put a sign on the storm door that says something like, "Carrier, I'm here to sign for the package. Please wait." With my luck, I'll be in the bathroom when they ring the bell. :laugh: Pics most welcome!

    My university policy on vaping

    Just stand outside the shelter against one of the walls. The campus cops aren't going to bother you for doing that.

    Congratulations. Just remember to insert the Sophia in the tank 510 connector end first... as you would a carto... so the drip tip end doesn't cut the o-ring. A drop of liquid helps lube the o-ring or atty base and make this go smoother than if they're dry.

    Exceptionally well. I have Sophia 1 in a 19 mm x 45 mm IBTanked with 15 mm ByLeo.eu STR15 drip tip and Sophia 2 in a 19 mm x 35 mm IBTanked with 5 mm ByLeo.eu STR5 drip tip. With both, there's 15 mm of "mouthpiece" above the top cap. That's more than enough to grip to turn the flow control as...
