    Any Other Nicotine Lightweights Out There??? 0.6% is apparently too much for me...

    Interesting, Halo is definitely more PG than VG, but for me it's always been the opposite, higher VG mellows out the hit and I get less of a buzz from high-VG liquids. Guess everyone's different though :) I personally have cut down to about 6mg and I just tried a 65/35 PG/VG 18mg and it sent...

    Thanks Bill, and hello to you as well :) I try to share whatever knowledge I've got, nothing more. Background in electronics and chemistry helps a bit.

    Should I start hoarding - India calls for banning e-cigarettes

    With the rumored FDA regulations coming up for proposal/voting in the next few months, I'm also stocking up, to a point. Grabbed a half liter of high-strength base, and I'd suggest doing the same if you're somewhere facing a more serious ban. As it is I'm three months in and getting closer and...

    Did you throw out all of your analogs when you started vaping?

    I actually had finished the last of my pack a week or so before I picked up vaping, and stumbled on it accidentally while trying to find where to get a rather elusive (where I used to live anyways) clove cig. From there I had no desire to pick up analogs again. For those of you with RYO...

    Help please, my Juice taste horrible

    Looks like you beat me to my usual recommendation of adding menthol! Yeah, I've saved plenty of juices by adding a few drops (or more, if needed) of menthol, sometimes I just totally mask the flavor with menthol and use it in a pinch, other times it turns out tasting good. Another tip, if you...

    Hardware help

    808 threading is also somewhat popular, but I've never seen pre-wired or even bare connectors available for it anywhere, just 510. I'd recommend getting a prewired 510 connector from MadVapes and probably an eGo/510 adapter so you can take advantage of having eGo threads too, total investment...

    What was the very first flavor you ever vaped and if you liked it, is it still a favorite?

    My first flavor was from Premium (an overpriced vendor that sells 808/vGo starter kits and prefills for way more than anyone in their right mind should pay), a clove flavor, that I immediately fell in love with. Then I found out on my next order that the cartos I got were the last of their...

    Help - I'm in a PANIC!

    While your logic is sound, I still haven't seen any major nic supplier that is 'out of stock' or charging through the roof for the stuff. You can still get 120ml bottles in PG or VG base for ten bucks, which I consider absurdly cheap, and a liter is only $70. That's in 60mg btw, for comparison...

    Vamo v3 on NiMH

    Stacking regulators isn't generally advisable, for a variety of reasons, including the fact they're not all perfectly identical, and as such won't split the load evenly as expected. I.e. you may draw one amp through one regulator, and only half an amp through the second. While that's a pretty...

    Help - I'm in a PANIC!

    Most say pre-mixed juice lasts about a year, I've heard of people vaping stuff that's two years old, but the longest I've gone is about ten months on juice I've received in trades that had already been sitting a good while before I got it. Nicotine base can be refrigerated/frozen and should...

    Help - I'm in a PANIC!

    Honestly, the only thing I have any slight worry about with regulation is the e-juice/nicotine. Everything else is still going to be available, maybe not pre-assembled, but it's not terribly hard to make a mechanical mod or even a decent regulated box mod from parts readily available for...

    Start Over with Juice & Carto?

    Yeah, as others have said, just blow 'em out to make sure you don't swallow juice, and vape away. As long as the coils are in good shape and the wicks haven't degraded from soaking in a caustic juice for that long (don't even think that happens, but who knows, I go through tank-fulls in a day...

    Question about dual coils...

    A 1.8ohm dual coil will read at 1.8ohms, it's already calculated for you :) If you want to know how they're built, though, it's two coils in parallel, in the case of your example it's two 3.6ohm coils sharing common positive/negative connections to the battery, yielding an effective resistance...

    Leaky cartridge question

    Honestly I've had cartomizers from nearly any vendor/brand do this at one point or another, it kinda just happens once in a while if you ask me. Now if you're talking 510 cartridges with separate attys, then it definitely sounds like a QC issue of some sort..

    New and having to "suck" at my first disposable (??)

    Yeah, that's vaper's tongue in action, I carry a small bottle of straight-up menthol, not even in a tank or anything, just diluted with some water, and take a swig of it (spitting if possible). Clears it right up most of the time, as does staying hydrated in general. Thankfully it seems to be...

    New and having to "suck" at my first disposable (??)

    Also I just noticed another comment in here about 'sitting at a table with tools' if you don't use pre-filled cartos. That's really only true if you get into RBAs and do-it-yourself liquids, neither of which are anything close to a requirement for an enjoyable experience. I sent a friend of...

    New and having to "suck" at my first disposable (??)

    Well you are a fair bit closer to them, so shipping would be faster. Not to mention the juices I have are pretty niche flavors that not everyone is going to be a fan of, so it might benefit the OP to talk to us both anyways :)

    HELP!!! Used a RSST On My VAMO V3 and Now Nothing Else Works On It

    http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/vamo/375871-vamo-ohm-error-fix.html Check that out. It's for the V2 but probably applies to the V3 as well.

    New and having to "suck" at my first disposable (??)

    Phoenix, once you get in fifteen posts, you'll be able to use the PM system on here. Shoot me a message with your address and I can probably mail you an eGo/charger combo with some pre-filled 510 cartos to try out. It's a huge step up from disposables and cigalikes, I've used all of 'em plus a...

    DIY Wierd Side Effects... Please Help!

    Well, here's your next test, since you seem to have narrowed it down to the nicotine base you're using. Either mix it at half the strength you'd normally use and see what happens, or try nicotine base from a different vendor. I personally use Wizard Labs, High Desert Vapes sells their nic as...
