    People are too easily manipulated, even in this community.

    I don't get it. The reviewers offer a useful service. Their reviews are free, and nobody's forced to watch them. What on earth is the problem?

    Why is e-liquid selling at such high prices ?

    Yes, it is . . . and if the last bunch of posts hasn't proven my point, then nothing will. :) You all have a lovely evening. I've really enjoyed this discussion - thank you.

    Why is e-liquid selling at such high prices ?

    What "lens"? It's you guys who are doubting the perfect wisdom of the Invisible Hand, not me. I never pretended to be a fan of capitalism - far from it! - yet I'm constantly forced to stick up for cottage industries in these threads. Why is that, do you suppose, if this chronic whining about...

    Why is e-liquid selling at such high prices ?

    I think people should buy what they can afford. At the same time, I think they should drop the resentment when, for whatever reason, they can't afford a bottle of US made liquid or an authentic mod. (I also think they should immediately join the most militant labor union they can find, but...

    Why is e-liquid selling at such high prices ?

    Some of us prefer fair trade prices because we understand that the constant driving down of prices - and therefor of wages - hurts workers globally, ourselves included. I expect most here are too young to remember, but it used to be that all working Americans understood this, and always...

    Why is e-liquid selling at such high prices ?

    Yes, it is. And even I, who hate neoliberal capitalism like poison, apparently understand it better than the phony free-marketeers who throw a hissy fit every time an enterprising neighbor makes a nickel over cost. Do they want every American to be making minimum wage in service to the...

    Why is e-liquid selling at such high prices ?

    Eh. Americans are weird people. On the one hand they apparently worship "free" market capitalism and "entrepreneurship" and all that, but on the other hand they scream bloody murder whenever some ordinary citizen tries to make a decent living on his own wits. So what's that about? I guess the...

    This handy calculator helps with single, dual, triple and quad coils in various sizes, and allows you calculate for any type of wire: Coil wrapping | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators To get a feel for builds and resistances and what you like best, I'd try building a few coils according...

    New to Mechanical Mods - Questions about ohms and wire

    Hell, yes. Clowns like this dimwitted vape shop guy could easily do a lot more damage than a whole army of ANTZ!

    New to Mechanical Mods - Questions about ohms and wire

    Y'know, that was pretty damn irresponsible of him. I mean, who sends an absolute newbie off into the sunset with a .2something build and thinks this is a good idea? :facepalm: With "professionals" like that "helping" newcomers, we really don't need enemies. You sound like a very...

    Why is e-liquid selling at such high prices ?

    I agree absolutely. I've only been working on my DIY project for a month or so, but the one thing I've learned already is that mixing an interesting, flavorful, genuinely satisfying liquid takes a huge (HUGE!) investment of time, money and patience. If you're not prepared to vape swill and...

    New to Mechanical Mods - Questions about ohms and wire

    I'm a convert to the big coils too, although I prefer a much higher resistance. This allows me to do 10 wraps with 26g and still come out at 1.4 or so . . . now that's surface area! I'm all about optimal taste rather than instant clouds, so this system really works for me.

    New to Mechanical Mods - Questions about ohms and wire

    It does seem pretty daunting in the beginning, I know, but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it. :) Welcome to the forum!

    New to Mechanical Mods - Questions about ohms and wire

    These are all good points. You're already quite low resistance wise, so you might want to rethink all the variables if you're not getting good results. I don't mean to be rude, New Comrade NorthGuard, but simply going lower and lower probably isn't the brightest possible strategy at this point.

    Inawera- a few reviews

    I'll definitely try this. I think the Inawera Banana is absolutely delish. Thank you! I'm really loving Inawera fruits in mixtures containing creamy things from FA. Pure decadence. :)

    Moving backwards in vaping?

    I wouldn't say I was "going backwards" exactly, but there are many times when I do prefer simplicity. For instance, I find myself using the IGO-L and the Omega in single coil mode much more frequently than the drippers that require multiple coils and lots of fiddling with air holes. I make...

    Cloud-Chasers are Evil People

    Nine pages . . . that seems about right.

    The e-cig that goes BOOM!

    I think you make a very good point. I suspect ECF people sometimes overlook battery safety in eGo-style devices just because they're generally viewed as "beginner" gear, while mods are generally described as "advanced" (whatever that means). But of course you're right: a battery is a...

    Alright - This Really Bugs Me

    Wow. I'm not an expert on social media or anything, but I've never even heard of a forum that actively discourages politeness and friendly conversation. :ohmy: What a totally craptastic idea!

    Alright - This Really Bugs Me

    That makes a certain amount of sense, Dayglow. But really, I'm talking about the person who posts, "Help! My tank is leaking!" and then fails to acknowledge the 47 paragraphs of useful advice that follow. Surely even a grunting, drooling caveman ought to realize that this is just plain rude?
