    Not sure if my battery is charging completely!

    Yup, those chargers are fine. I don't yet have a Spinner, but I've noticed (and heard others say the same) with an Ego Twist, which is pretty similar to the Spinner, that it seems to charge 'properly' only if you turn the voltage dial all the way to the maximum setting before dropping it on the...

    Finally going to spring for a decent RBA..any suggestions?

    Ah, guess I should have specified, I'm not new to RBA/RDA tech at all, I'm just tired of the tiny little Smoktech Mini (Octopus, I think?) that I had been using. So I've already got coiling, wicks, etc pretty much down, I just wasn't sure of a good next step to take hardware-wise. I'm...

    Finally going to spring for a decent RBA..any suggestions?

    Really appreciate all the replies, not going to quote everybody to answer individually as it'd take up the whole page, but to answer to some specifics.. Thought about using a 'cigar' lighter (butane lighter torch) but didn't think it'd kick off enough heat, guess it will since someone seems to...

    Glass tank or plastic?

    I've dropped my old Protank 1 on tile floors in the bathroom while cleaning it a few times and it's never broken either..think the wall thickness is such that it won't break from a 'gentle' fall, course I don't deliberately test that. As others have said, glass won't crack with strong juices...

    Finally going to spring for a decent RBA..any suggestions?

    I guess I should have clarified when I said 'decent'. Something that's not going to fall apart after I rebuild the coil twice, mostly. Price is kind of a factor, I can't afford $100 for an RBA at the moment as I'm between jobs..hence why I was looking at a clone. I don't mind having to wrap a...

    Finally going to spring for a decent RBA..any suggestions?

    While I'm sure this is covered ad-nauseam on a daily basis, or close to it, I thought I'd ask again.. Looking at getting an upgrade from my Smok mini RDA and really want something that'll hold more than five-ten drops at a time. Ideally a tank setup would be great, but I've only found maybe...

    Unflavored Nicotine

    If you buy 18mg nic, you can add flavoring and vape it as-is. Download Breaktru's E-Juice Me Up for calculating your final mix percentages, and check the DIY subforum. Don't get into large bottles of 60mg+ nicotine until you're comfortable with the math involved diluting it down with pure...

    Dry throat

    Common misconception. The vapor itself, on exhale, contains water, but what you're actually breathing in is straight PG/VG, which as I believe someone stated above, actually draws water out of wherever it can, either the air, or in this case, us..and that's why there's water vapor when you...

    Question about the Mt. Baker freebie juices

    Yeah, just noticed this thread again and figured I'd mention that I did indeed start requesting specific strength and even a specific PG/VG when I wanted to experiment, and they always honored it. Never bothered requesting flavor as I like the surprise there, but they definitely do their best...

    Dry throat

    Thanks for that, I believe that they also make the toothpaste then, cause I know for a fact that's the name on the toothpaste tube. The spray stuff is marketed as what, a cure for 'Dry Mouth' or sore throats if memory serves? And I agree 100% with you that it's a bad idea to use before vaping...

    2ohm boge cartos on 5 volts! Am i the only one that likes this combo?

    With certain juices, yes, I've certainly run 2ohm (and 1.7ohm) cartos at 4.5-5v and gotten amazing results..but it's really down to the juice. As you noticed, menthol seems to work well, I've found most coffee flavors run well at the higher power levels, some dark caramels and such taste better...

    Dry throat

    I only recently stopped, or at least cut down, on the direct inhale technique, as I've discovered I'm developing a PG sensitivity of sorts. It's possible in my (and potentially others) case that it's related to seasonal allergies, as the symptoms I'm having are a dry, scratchy throat, and that...

    additives

    Mine have cleaned up and show no signs of any sort of damage despite chewing through 5-10ml of juice a day for the last three and a half months, so I'd say you're probably safe on that front :) My dentist actually commented that they looked much better now than when I smoked, whether he was...

    additives

    Not really, as long as it comes from a reputable company the flavorings and other components should be food-grade or higher, which is generally pretty safe and pure stuff. I mean sure, some people are going to react badly to capsicum in flavorings (yes I've seen it), or cinnamon in flavorings...

    Vamo V2 started glitching today

    Seems to be luck of the draw, I used and abused my V2 for two months almost (was pre-owned before that for an unknown period of time) before passing it on to someone else, only ever had to do the ohm fix with a new washer and that was due to my own foolishness over-tightening an adapter. I'd...

    any fingernail biters out there?

    I broke the fingernail habit way back when I started on analogs, so switching to vaping didn't make a huge difference there..but where it has made a difference, I'm no longer chewing gum or snacking on food all the time. If you ask me it just boils down to an oral fixation of some type or...

    Ohms when wrapping coil? need help!! how to tell ohms if i dont have a an ohm reader

    Even using the same materials, there's always a chance of inadvertently changing something or shorting the coil on itself/the metal part of the head. Trust me, I've done that, and thought I knew well enough..didn't have my meter handy cause we were moving, dropped it on an Ego, fired, entire...

    Vaping got me to quit smoking, but now...................................

    Guess I'm an outlier, depending on the day I can kill a 15ml bottle between sunrise and sunset. Granted it's usually 6mg or nic-free, my 18mg bottles last for weeks cause I only use maybe half a milliliter in the mornings and sometimes late at night if I gotta be up for some reason. OP: I'm...

    Question: Do you feel better?

    Three months off and I feel far better, actually lost weight with vaping thanks to having dessert/sweet flavors available.. Was never a pack a day gal, my usual intake was a couple cigs a night tops, when I was in college (still am, just taking a break for various reasons) I might manage five a...

    New Vaper Questions about E-Liquid.

    Yes, nic-free is going to have more flavor. I vape 18mg in the morning, and 6/0mg during the day, and I can tell you for sure, lower nic lets you taste the flavor a lot more clearly. Go for a higher PG blend as well, 80/20 PG/VG would be my recommendation, of course if you have a PG allergy...
