    To RBA or Not to RBA - Please convince me

    Simple answer and exactly 100% spot on. I have a large lead crystal candle holder that keeps my small collection of clearos and the like upright so they can't leak. Today I was thinking about finding a way to store them better since I haven't used them at all in the last two weeks. Even my...

    how long did it take you to quit analogs and vape?

    It took me four years! Literally! Then one day I broke down, bought a VV vision spinner, a clearo and a bottle of 36mg candy flavored juice. I quit *instantly* on that stuff, by accident on my way home from the B&M store. Still had two and a half packs of unsmoked smokes left that I had...

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    Yeah, my local hardware store has plenty of springs. (Couldn't find one at altsmoke, for some reason!) As the spring isn't actually part of the electrical circuit on the #19 it doesn't need to be brass either.

    Welcome to ECF and congrats on working in the right direction! No, I've never heard of Redds either! I'm curious though... anyone have a link?

    There was a time I used to drive semi and I hauled fruit from Mexico, mostly bananas, mangos, etc. up to Canada. It was always quite the sight to back up to a loading dock in the middle of winter, with feet of snow on the ground, go into the warehouse and watch dock workers dance around as...

    Who are Your Favorite YouTube Reviewers

    Good, well thought out listing! I won't name names but if I have a bigger pet peeve than loud music and more than 10 seconds of intro graphics it's a review that has that loud music and (more than 10 seconds) of intro graphics THEN a short spoken introduction... followed by MORE loud music and...

    Caravela clone

    Excellent points! I have a side fire now with a bottom fire on pre-order coming soon (I hope!) While many bottom fire button mods are often strong enough to not fire, when they are set down, I bet most users lock the buttons anyway... and now that I think about it I am fairly certain I will...

    GGTS, Chi You, Poldiac, Caravela...are they worth it?

    As another forum member once said "It's a metal tube with a switch in it... not a magical flying unicorn." For some the higher priced mods are a status symbol. Many are quite hard to come by and are considered collectible rarities that can often bring a higher price on the used market than...

    New Member! Introduction and History

    Welcome to ECF and congrats to both of you! My wife and I, both in our 40s, have a similar story but we started with the "cig-a-likes" that were available four years ago. Between terrible technology and lousy, low strength juice (16-18mg was often considered "strong"!) it just didn't take...

    Key to Kicking The Analog Habit For Good? - My Thoughts.

    1.5 PAD average for 25+ years, went from "full flavor" to "menthol lights" about 10 years ago. Tried quitting with 12-18mg juice and the garbage technology that was available four years ago with little success. Bought a vision spinner, a clearo and a bottle of 36mg candy flavored juice (if you...

    These are my picks as well, especially for hardware. I don't think much of ejuice reviews.

    On Vaping, PG, and the welfare of your cats.

    PG is fed to livestock all the time. It's actually the key component in "animal friendly antifreeze" for your car because the standard ethylene glycol *will* kill animals (and people) if it's drank. As already stated, cats are especially at risk to a disorder caused by exposure to large...

    Vamo+ rba kit?

    Not all batteries are created equal. There are even rumors of some much cheaper brands simply being recycled out of old lap top batteries with a brand spanking new label stuck to them. Some are labeled far in excess of what they will actually provide, your "mah" rating, which can roughly be...

    Vamo+ rba kit?

    Really, since it sounds like you don't mind ordering from China then look at Fasttech for batteries and charger too. Here is the Nitecore (read all of it for a discount code) for just under $20, shipped...

    Vamo+ rba kit?

    If you really want a Vamo "kit" here you go. I don't know why these kits are only including one battery... buy at least a second. Use "May10" to take 10%. Flat rate shipping of $1.99 "Will ship Priority mail." This is where I got my Vamo, very happy customer! Combo Specials BUT I highly...

    spinner v. vamo

    I graduated from a Vision Spinner to a Vamo for the reasons outlined here... cheaper batteries, longer lasting charge, compatible with a wider range of attys and carts (1.2 ohms instead of 1.5), higher amperage, higher VV/VW (the Vamo can do 6.0 volts), etc. I liked my Spinner just fine and...
