    Ea mod

    I got lucky and saw them the day they were released... snagged one without a single hesitation. :-D They're supposed to ship this week, so when I get it and tinker with it for a while, I shall post some pictures!

    Radioactive Mod

    Don't worry about mesh being radioactive. As long as it's stainless steel, there's no chance of decay. The radioactive lanterns are pretty much a thing of the past. However, it wasn't the "wick" that was the problem. They used mesh that glows with heat (like an old fashioned light bulb), and...

    Anyone in SE PA been to this brick and mortar?

    Ephrata is about an hour and a half away from me... but the way it looks, it's still the closest. :-( Of course, I've driven to Boston before just for a weekend. Does this Vapor Cafe let you bring in a sleeping bag?

    new to mechanicals

    The best way to stay safe (and this goes for everything in life) is to not be stupid. ;-) But seriously, I only use mechanicals, and I've never had a problem. But if you're paranoid about them, some basic things to do/not do: - Use IMR batteries over Li-ion - Don't stack any batteries - Ensure...

    Can cartomizer threads damage stainless steel?

    It wasn't a VN, it was a Boge cartomizer... there may have been some shavings from the cartomizer (the threads on that looked pretty FUBAR), but no big pieces. It cross threaded, and I just slowly screwed the pieces apart.

    Can cartomizer threads damage stainless steel?

    That's what happened with mine... I tested just about every atomizer and cartomizer I have on it, and they thread on smoothly. Except for my AGA-S, which doesn't thread onto anything with ease! haha Are the connections on a Provari stainless steel? This is why I wish my Galileo worked as well...

    Can cartomizer threads damage stainless steel?

    So I did something silly today... I dropped my EA Mod off the table and, with Murphy's Law in effect, it landed right on the cartomizer tank and BAM, the threads crossed right then and there; they crossed faster than the eyes of a kid just kicked by a mule. I took the tank off, and with careful...

    Radioactive Mod

    I was assuming that this story was a joke... at least I hope it was. Not because I'm worried about radioactive mods, but I'm worried about scientific ignorance. Radioactive fiestaware resulted from the glaze, which (sometimes) contained uranium oxide. Even then, it was only ever applied to...

    drawtube vs smoktech natural vs smoketech stainless steel telescope?

    That's a problem with some of my tanks and my Telescope. One of my favorite mods (Galileo) has the same issue with larger tanks looking strange, so I just use what looks good on it. I will say the AGA-S looks very good on the Telescope, if you're looking to use a genesis. There was a lot of...

    Radioactive Mod

    One time in college I ventured out of my native chem lab and hung out the some of my physics buddies. One of them brought in what they called the "Uranium Bowl", which made a Geiger counter go nuts. We just threw it around and played with it. :tongue: Moral of the story is, there are lots of...

    drawtube vs smoktech natural vs smoketech stainless steel telescope?

    I think it all depends on which button type you prefer... I tend to be a bottom button kinda guy, so I have to vote for the Telescope (just be careful with the button, I've heard horror stories of them breaking). The Natural is, I believe, ALL stainless, and I've heard stainless connections...

    Why can't they just leave us alone?

    Imagine if the X-Files lasted another decade... I wonder if the Cigarette Smoking Man would have become the e-Cigarette Smoking Man. :D They would, of course, have to give him one evil looking PV... probably a Darwin.

    EA M Tank up for Beta Testing

    So, I was skimming around my usual checkups of my favorite vendors, and Electric Angel announced today that they're sending out 25 of their new tanks for beta testing. I'm a big fan of my EA Mod, so I thought I'd give Mika a hand in getting the word out. :-) Link on Electric Angel: EA M Tank...

    Why can't they just leave us alone?

    But that's the point of the teapot - you don't need evidence to the contrary, you just need lack of evidence overall. Despite what some people say during religious debates, absence of evidence is evidence of absence. I'm not denying these people got the results they did, but the key to a...

    Why can't they just leave us alone?

    If you look at the chemical structure (the actual molecules), they're extremely similar too. Now, my degree is in chemistry, so I can't be foolish enough to say structurally similar chemicals act in similar ways (the difference between methanol and ethanol, for example, is a single hydrocarbon -...

    Catskill Mountain Vapor Store...SS Carto Tank

    If you don't mind waiting a while to receive it, Finnvape has an all stainless tank called the Munna tank. I have the normal one, but they also sell one especially for the Provari (they appear to be out of stock for that one at the moment, though...). It's a really nice tank, and I think I paid...

    Rebuilding Vivi Nova Heads

    I've tried rebuilding Novas with little luck... my concern is that you want non-resistance wire for where they meet the rubber grommet; otherwise you'll melt it after a while. Does anyone here worry about that, or do you just wrap and roll?

    Carto tank - what's your favorite?

    I'll throw in the Lil Mama tank, from Big Daddy Vapor. It's polycarbonate, so watch what juice you use... I've never had a problem, personally... I don't vape cinnamon or banana or the likes, but I loves me some sours! Also, their Slap Yo' Mama adapter is simply wonderful, regardless of what...

    Why can't they just leave us alone?

    There is no scientific, peer reviewed evidence that nicotine causes anything more than increased blood pressure and the jitters. Yes, it's a poison... but not a carcinogen. Just because you've read some people say that it does, or might, does not make the situation "questionable". It's Bertrand...

    Tank Users

    I'll second that. Phiniac is my everyday tank, just because it looks so damn sexy on an EA Mod, but IBTanked's complete tank kit is value beyond words. If you compare a Phiniac with stainless encaps and an IBTanked side-by-side, you can tell which one has a higher price tag, but they both still...
