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

    Also, every single one of us needs to understand the difference between cigarette addiction and nicotine addiction. I say this with humility, not trying to be arrogant. The two are NOT the same. Cigarettes are extremely addictive because of nic + MAOI's. Nicotine by itself is not as...

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

    If anyone thinks e-cigs could be a gateway to cigarette *addiction*, they need to go take a few drags off a cigarette right now and report back how it tastes. ;) Is it possible that a non-smoker who vapes 0 nic juice may become psychologically addicted to the motions and bum a cigarette one...

    Canton, MA considering ordinance to ban e-cigarette, dissolvable tobacco, snus sales

    John Ciccotelli seems alright. The people to convince are Dr. Jonathan Wickinoff and Dr. Lester Hartman. Hartman says: “I will be going back to Dedham and working with them as well on this,” said Hartman, whose pediatric practice currently serves 384 kids from Canton. “And I will go to every...

    Hydration

    Slightly off-topic, please forgive: I agree with staying away from aspartame at all costs. If you drink plenty of soda, do yourself a favor and make sure you brush your teeth 3 times a day or at least rinse your mouth out with water after the soda. Soda will give you ....-mouth worse than...

    Got my Protank 2's

    Wow! Thank you for posting that! As disappointed as I was/am that I wasted that money on the epoxied versions, it's good to know that Kanger is proactive when it comes to fixing a design flaw. Edward @ sun-vapers is good people and I'm definitely ordering a few PT-2's from him. He also...

    Protank 2 or Tatroe tank?

    Can you imagine if the base & top were SS and the tanks were one of these from Spectrum Tanks? Oh mah gherd!

    Protank 2 or Tatroe tank?

    The Tatroe tank would be more bulletproof. Only thing is, I've read some people get a funk metal taste from it. If it was put in a Harbor Freight Ultra-sonic cleaner or something like vinegar or ammonia, that might get rid of the taste. Not too sure, you'd have to see what actual owners have to...

    Davide vs ProTank 2 Comparison

    Interesting....the Davide glass might not be as strong as the protank glass. I know the way it falls matters, but I was able to drop a protank v1 on the cement from 4ft (it actually got knocked off my trucks tailgate and went flying), 2nd time on tile, and the 3rd time broke it. Considering...

    I'm switching to all removable glass tanks.

    Pshhhhhh... There's one difference and one difference only, the method of juice delivery to the coil. One uses a synthetic sponge, the other can use natural fibers as a wick. I'll choose the natural fibers over plastic any day. A "burnt" or "dry" hit on your carto is literally smoking...

    ceramic wick "contaminating" new liquid

    Hrm....read this http://www.3m.com/market/industrial/ceramics/pdfs/health_safety.pdf I believe xc-116 is 'Nextel 312'. Look at the "Heat Treating" section on page 2. Don't know what to make of that, other than we inhaled carbon monoxide when smoking.

    I'm switching to all removable glass tanks.

    Yeah glue-free is how they need to keep it. Next they need to use stainless steel for the metal parts. They could probably get away with using PP to cut costs on the pyrex (and they wouldn't be fragile), but they would need to isolate the heat. I wonder if the "head" was a little bit...

    How to maximize flavor and vapor production in an EVOD?

    You aren't going to get good flavor from silica no matter what you do (IMO). Unless you maybe use ekowool. The silica being used in clearos is very uniform and the strands are close together. Think of the wick like a filter. Juice gets sucked through but flavor molecules also get trapped in...

    Vision Victory 5 ML bottom coil clearo

    The muted flavor is from the silica wick. If it was re-wicked with cotton you would notice a huge difference in flavor. If these things had polypropylene tubes instead of polycarbonate, I would be sold. The fact that the metal parts are stainless steel is very attractive. Even the Davide and...

    Got my Protank 2's

    The difference would be no glue. That's nice that some people got good protanks, but I wasted $60 on protanks that couldn't take the heat. I wouldn't spend $5 on a 1.0 protank unless the 'new' adhesive they used was disclosed. I've read a few comments about the puritank coming apart as well...

    ALMOST great (Protank...)

    An off taste or metallic taste may come from a metal tip, the coil, something from the manufacturing process, or the adhesive being heated or attacked by the juice. Any "muted" flavor, imho, comes from the wick. The wick delivers juice but also acts as a filter. They "gunk up" from the flavor...

    cont. 3) Keep in mind, in a clearo it's your suction that's pulling juice into the coil area, not the magical "wicking" properties of silica or cotton. Flooding=too much suction. Burning the wick=Not enough. You'll know when you're singing the cotton because it actually hurts/irritates your...

    cont. 2) Cut the excess off on both sides, use another piece to place on top of the coil, and BAM good to go. Well, obviously let some juice sit on the wicks for at least 30. If you aren't patient, just use it. If it singes, oh well. Just keep that excess boiled cotton ball in a ziplock bag and...

    Pshhh there's never a silly question. Trying to learn all of this in a short amount of time is information overload. Boil a ball for a good 10 min, dump the water and replace it, boil another 10 min. Obviously you could do longer, but the 30min-1hr recommendations I've seen are probably...

    General question about "hot legs"

    I would say it's the glue. Depends on a few variables though. Did you recently get the protank or when it first came out? Have you been using it with no odd taste for a while? I got a few when they first came out. Either the heat, the juice, or both compromised the glue on the first however many...

    Need a good RBA that's meant for cotton or silica wick.

    I may be wrong, but I think the only options are: *Kayfun & Kayfun lite *Dream bt804 (Kayfun clone) *Bottom fed atomizers for the Reo and other such devices Again, I could be wrong, but it seems like there's only the kayfun that utilizes the airflow/suction to suck juice into the coil...
