    Wait...did I quit smoking?

    I didn't even think about my last smoke until opening this thread up, hard to believe it's been two and a half months since I lit up too. Out of sight, out of mind I guess, though I did find a few old lighters in my bag, kept 'em for the same reason as the OP, oxidizing wire and cleaning...

    PG Base Nicotine Dilution with VG for DIY E-Juice

    Your issue is that it's impossible to reach the desired mix ratio using that strength of nicotine. The best you can do is unflavored 50/50 if you want to get 6mg as your result, 5ml of nic, 5ml of VG. The calculator is telling you to remove PG from the mix, that's what the '-5' is, and if...

    where did this not inhaleing thing come from?

    I see absolutely nothing negative directed towards you in this thread at all. It started a debate among members, which happens on forums..we've all got our own techniques, some people are more adamant about theirs than others, the simple fact is if you filter out some of the argument in here...

    Anyone know if this is a good kit to start with? Vivi Nova starter kit....?

    If you were able to pay and got a tracking number you'll be fine as far as getting the item, I have seen eBay cancel auctions mid-run though..shame as I was going to get some spare eGo batteries at a good price but they pulled the auction with six hours left. The only thing I'd warn you about...

    where did this not inhaleing thing come from?

    @Ryan, yeah, that burning feeling isn't too uncommon, I still get it once in a while myself if I turn the wattage up too high and don't actually inhale because I'm cloud-chasing. If you're getting it all the time, you might need to start a thread and post the setup you're using so we can get...

    Vamo v2

    Yep, it's pretty much problem free and offers a fair amount of features for the price, I fixed the only minor flaw on mine tonight and it's working a treat. Most people don't even have to worry about it, as long as you don't screw down your attys too hard you'll be fine. Having VW is real nice...

    Continuing to use a burnt wick?

    Many on here use cotton balls (P.S. they're for makeup) but you can get cotton twine/rope from Wal-mart or a butcher and just boil it for a half hour before using. If you're using pure VG I'd immediately say that's part of your issue at least..is the nic level high enough that you could cut it...

    Continuing to use a burnt wick?

    2.5s are, IMO, too high to use on a non-Twist/Spinner eGo, try the 1.8s when you get them. I myself picked up an eGo as a backup battery and have 1.8s coming for my Protank and Evods solely to use on the eGo, my Vamo is happy enough with the stock 2.5ohm coils. If you're feeling adventurous...

    Continuing to use a burnt wick?

    2.5ohm heads on an eGo non-VV..interesting.. What kind of juice are you vaping? I'd wager it's more to do with chain-vaping, a high-VG juice, or something else besides burnt coils. Once you get that burnt taste after five or six hits, does letting the Evod sit bottom-down so the wicks are...

    Continuing to use a burnt wick?

    Glad it helped someone else out, truthfully I knew about dry burning but the first time I tried it I thought I'd burned the wick, not done an incomplete dry burn, as there was still burnt gunk on the coils. Bring out yer dead! Got a head here that I'll be using to practice rebuilding on...

    Piece of gear that made it all click ?

    Honestly, I knew as soon as I started on cigalikes that I was much happier vaping than smoking. Of course the next upgrade was a Vamo with Vivi Nova Mini tank and now a few Evods and a Protank, but as far as what actually got me hooked on vaping, I think the flavors had more to do with it than...

    Too much Nicotine?

    I would say anything you wouldn't vape, is the same level you don't want on your skin. I personally will wash my hands if I come in contact with anything higher than 30mg, just to play it safe, but 60-100mg is when you need to immediately rinse off with cold water. Some are more tolerant, some...

    Too much Nicotine?

    Yeah the only reason I really mentioned HDV was because Wizard was having site trouble over the weekend and I haven't checked to see if they were back yet, I assume they are based on your comments :) MBV does charge a lot for their nicotine, but if you want it in lower strengths for cutting...

    I'm new to ECF and am wondering how this works

    If you're solely interested in PIF juice swaps, get your five posts in on the new members section and go over into the PIF forum: Pay It Forward - PIF As others have stated, if you want to buy/sell/trade outside PIF you'll need twenty posts (can be anywhere after those first five) and have to...

    Continuing to use a burnt wick?

    Yep, dry burning did the trick, used some spare wick from an Octopus RDA for flavor wicks, head's reading 3.3ohm instead of 2.6 so I'm guessing I accidentally changed the coil shape with too much/too little flavor wick or just while mucking about in general, but it fires cleanly on my Vamo with...

    Continuing to use a burnt wick?

    Thanks guys, I'll pull the head apart and see what I can do with it. Last Evod head I used with a caramel juice was black as midnight and I just tossed the wick/coil, didn't think to dry-burn as I'd foolishly assumed the wick itself was burnt, not just covered in burnt juice. Learn something...

    Continuing to use a burnt wick?

    So, not the same ol' 'why does my wick keep burning' or similar thread, for once. I'll admit I know just why it burned, but it doesn't change the fact my Evod replacement heads and wick/kanthal supplies are still in the mail, so my question is this: Besides the taste and possible lack of...

    Too much Nicotine?

    Check Wizard Labs or High Desert Vapes for good prices on unflavored nicotine. The only issue buying from HDV is they only offer 60mg for DIY, I think Wizard has lower concentrations, and if you get stuck there as well, I know Mt. Baker has 6-36mg in fairly large bottles, but unfortunately...

    NR coil

    Some have mentioned doubling the legs back on themselves to halve the resistance, whether it helps or not I don't know, but search around here for the thread on micro-coils, I think it's talked about in there a few times.
