    Silicon grommets for the AGA-T - what for?

    Recently, I've noticed several vendors carrying a silicon grommet for the AGA-T+/2, but they don't say what they're for. Are these replacement parts, or has someone figured out a new way to get more vapor than frustration out of the AGA?

    Natural Tobaccos

    Time will no longer behave in a predictable manner. It will be easier if you resign yourself to that fact now. The infancy stage is like a long, plodding slog through a wide swamp - you're exhausted, but there's no place to sit down, and the sameness of the scenery makes it impossible to gauge...

    Natural Tobaccos

    Got my first Ahlusion aromatic in the mail today - the Vurly - and couldn't resist a quick sample. Oh my. Hay dios mio. Day-um. Synapse-popping, knee-buckling good. Angels sang. I may have cried a little. I can only imagine what a few weeks of steeping will do for it. I only hope I have the...

    Hardest hitting China clone; out of the box

    LOL! I know how you feel. The problem is that some of these go by many names. "CCTS" refers to what is supposed to be a clone of the GGTS - a dubious claim at best. It's also sometimes called a "Chi Chi." EDIT: I just realized I answered a question about an acronym with a reference to another...

    Hardest hitting China clone; out of the box

    The Chi Chi / China GG / CCTS gets dissed regularly, mainly because they look as cheap as they are - or used to be, I should say. Some vendors are now selling them for upwards of $40, which I think is crazy. The Sigeleis, on the other hand, are often less expensive than the Chi Chi, but they...

    I'm sorry, I'm not following. What are you trying to say? (J/K) Would an electronic corn cob pipe be an oxymoron?

    Natural Tobaccos

    I guess I'll be conservative. I'll pick up another flavor instead - go wide instead of deep :)

    Natural Tobaccos

    I have an Ahlusion cart in progress. Sahara seems to be at the top of everybody's list. If I love Deal Maker and Smooth Criminal, will I love Sahara? How does it compare with the other two (if at all)? Just trying to decide if I want to go 30ml untested.

    is there a possibility that ProVari will be available in VV/VW

    Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2 I'm pretty indifferent to the VV vs. VW issue. What I would love to see on the Provari, and what would easily entice me to buy another one, is a 5 amp switch. And maybe the option of a flat top cap.

    Sigelei #19 Tips, tricks, and DON'Ts

    I'm perusing the various DIY flashlight parts from Fasttech with ignorant fascination. To my untrained eye, there appear to be some potential switch-fixers. This do-dad, for example: $1.69 5mm x 2mm Copper Pillars for Electronics DIY (10-Pack) 10-pack - with groove on one side at FastTech -...

    Simple & Strange Things I've Learned on ECF

    Resist the urge to be an early adopter of new "revolutionary" gizmos unless you have some serious tools and you know how to use them.

    Digital Cartomizer / Atomizer Resistance Tester (Ohm Meter)

    Not to be a buttinski, here, but I thought that about my Provari, too. It works just fine as long as the ohms are @1.2 or higher, but it's not much help when I'm wrapping a coil to use on a mechanical and need to make sure I'm not gonna 'splode or anything. I don't do the super sub-ohm thing...

    Today, I hate all of my gear...

    Your taste buds are going to be off for the first couple months, but it gets better - hang in there! Having said that, make sure your coil head isn't gunked up - if you're vaping a sweet juice, that can happen pretty fast. Change it out or give it a quick dry burn - just a few SHORT pulses until...

    so i found this setup.. killer deal!

    I have a couple of KTS's from a co-op. I have no complaints about either of them - in fact, my Provari and my Sigelei #20 with RSST have been sitting idle for the last couple of days in favor of a KTS in 18350 mode with a Kick and a carto tank.

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    Oh no ... not another one. Even at these prices, I'm eventually gonna have to sell an organ or something to keep up.

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    No worries - I enter at my own risk :). Thanks for the info, though. I thought I would have to disassemble the entire switch assembly and grind down the pins and such, and I wasn't prepared to go that far. I think I can manage a donut around the pin hole, though. And if I mess it up, at least I...

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    Has anyone tried sanding down the 510 connection on the RSST to close the gap a bit on the Sig 20? It was mentioned a couple of times earlier in the thread, but did anyone actually do it? I know I can't get it flush without modding the center pin on the 20, but that is beyond my meager...

    Tobacco Absolute (the NET redheaded stepchild)

    I'm willing to bet yours has steeped longer than mine - I gave in to temptation after about a week and a half. That grassy flavor is still very much in the foreground to me, but it has become less pronounced over the 3 or 4 days I've been vaping it.

    Tobacco Absolute (the NET redheaded stepchild)

    My very first thought upon opening my bottle of Gold Rising was, "Wow - that smells like TA." To me, the flavor is reminiscent of TA as well - in fact, I assumed it was an Ahlusion-made TA. I enjoy that flavor, which I would describe as grassy or hay-ish rather than ashy, when it's done well...

    Just Wondering....

    Next month will be 3 years cigarette-free for me and no desire to go back. Still amazes me. The only other thing that ever worked for me was pregnancy, and I don't see that as a permanent solution.
