    Your thoughts on kids who vape, but have never smoked an analog before?

    +1 to this. I actually found the gum worked for me for the most part, but could never ween myself off it. Before I discovered vaping, I seriously considered long term replacement therapy using just gum, but the gum is more expensive than cigarettes! The other problem was the need to "have a...

    Coil rebuilding - keep it simple

    +1 for the 3mm silica wick and 32ga Kanthal. I use this to re-build my T3 coils. If you don't have the upgraded T3s coils, it can be a bit of a bear to work down inside the eGo threads, but it can be done. I highly recommend the T3s coils, they are so easy to rebuild. I generally do about...

    The cost of vaping

    Spent more than I'd like, but still much less than I would have on the stinkies. Fortunately, most of that money was well spent, early on I did make some bad purchases, but the amount of money truly wasted was probably only $100. At this point, not counting juice, my wife and I are in for...

    Atomizer or cheap RDA for sampling?

    Those little mini rebuildable drippers are really awesome and easy to rebuild. I wouldn't bother with the pre-coiled wicks, however, making a coil is easy; just make sure you do test them with a multimeter.

    You've cat to be kitten me right meow

    Rayna, welcome to ECF! It sounds like you are making a wise choice, since it sounds like you could easily find yourself smoking again. Back when I smoked, I would successfully quit, sometimes for months, only to start again when a stressful life event happened. Keep in mind that the concern...

    Problems!!!

    On my bottom feeders, I find the draw gets tight when they get gunked up. Have you tried cleaning the coil and the clearomizer itself? There are plenty of good videos on YouTube. I find washing and then dry burning my wicks does wonders for extending the life of the coil.

    What did you get with all the money you saved by Vaping?

    I first, I spent *more* than I did on smoking, but things have settled a bit and primarily buying juice these days. My wife and I calculated recently that we are spending about 35% of what we did on cigarettes, so the savings have been pretty substantial. I am planning on using some of the...

    Is it normal for liquid to gradually darken with use?

    Exposre to light will also cause nicotine to oxidize and darken. This is why your better juices are generally in dark glass bottles. As others have said in this thread, in the tank the heat causes the juice to darken as well as the introduction of particulate matter. I find my juices darken...

    Pretty wooden box mod and a Reo? Nice! You will have to let us know more about the bottom feeding goodness, I'm interested. Re: Kitty - been trying to get some good photos, but she is all legs and tail and moves like greased lightning. (Honestly, never seen a cat move faster!) She doesn't...

    One Year

    Well, just bought a mini Davide and its 3ml big brother. Although, I'm intrigued by the nice wooden box mod you posted earlier! That is a thing of beauty! But I should treat myself, right? :tongue: Also just adopted a nice new kitten, she is a beautiful little marbled Bengal. I've been...

    Kanger t3 eGo bottom coil clearomizer

    Time to clean your coil! Here is a good video: Eventually, you will need to replace the coil or rebuild it. But follow the video above, and you should see an improvement!

    cigalikes to provari to cigalikes

    My wife and I started with cig-a-likes. Fins from Wally World. Not a bad product, and they have a 510 threading. They had a nice nutty taste too, although you could stick any carto on them you wanted with your favorite juice... Full disclosure: I now vape a Genesis tank on a Provari.

    For $11.99 the clone looks worth a go. I'll find Bad's post, thank you!

    I've tried all hardware... still cant figure out the issue

    Yes, I generally use the coil till it craps out and then rebuild with 3mm silica. I agree that one should not remove the flavor wicks on a coil out of the box. Doing so is an invitation to flooding.

    Okay - Tell Me About Carto-Tanks

    Hi all, my wife and I have been vaping for about 6 months now. Currently, my favorite vape is my Zen-Atty-Pro plugged into my Provari, wife tends to an eGo with a clearomizer (currently the Davide mini, which she loves). I use the same setup when out and about, and have the big Davide 3ml...

    I've tried all hardware... still cant figure out the issue

    Puffing away currently on a rebuilt T3s coil with no flavor wicks - it is an outstanding vape. The trick is to re-wick with a thicker wick. Then it is all good.

    What Voltage do you Vape with?

    Depends on the resistance of my coil. I aim for 6 Watts and then do the math.

    Newbs-are you feeling like kid in candy store too?

    My wife and I spent a lot when we started. At this point, things have settled down a bit as we have found what works best for us. I do, however, still find myself lusting after new toys from time to time. That being said, we are STILL spending less than we did on stinkies! :tongue:
