    Anyone Better Than Mt Baker Vapor?

    Some of my current favs... understand that I usually run 4 extra shots instead of 2 or 3 because I like 50/50 and sometimes water it down even further with extra VG for SLR vaping (half the nicotine). VG can mute flavors a bit. Extra shots help make up for that. Absinthe (black licorice+)...

    Cutting down a 24mg MBV juice

    Order a bottle of just the cinnamon roll flavor. Dilute the strong juice down to the nic you want and THEN add a bit of extra flavor back in, if needed.

    Anyone Better Than Mt Baker Vapor?

    Read the reviews at MBV, paying special attention to those that mention how many "extra flavor shots" people got and how they intend to adjust that number when/if they re-order. Extra flavor shots are only 25 cents each and each flavor may (or may not) require extra ones to really shine in the...

    How will the e-cig developing in near future

    I remember reading elsewhere something that gave me the impression that most, if not all nicotine was already derived from tobacco leaves. Do you have any insight on this AttyPops?

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    I want to shorten the throw on my #8 too. I actually took the button head in one set of pliers and the other end of the pin in a second set of pliers and gave it some muscle. I quit because I was reasonably sure I would just twist the pin in half! My button is NOT coming off of there without...

    I want to start recoiling and rewicking my CE6s and Vivi Novas, but not really sure where to begin...

    I buy all my wire from Temco and silica from PBdragon.com I like the quality of their silica better than other vendors I have tried and their prices are incredible. I haven't tried cotton yarn yet but I've done cotton balls (a bag of 300 for $2, one ball makes around four wicks!) and I just...

    100 ft of 30 gauge kanthal $4.61 free shipping

    Yeah, my first purchase was 100' of 30 from them when it was on sale like a month ago. I ended up putting 100' of 28, 32 and 34 gauges in my shopping cart too! Well played Temco, well played ;)

    Ever had a juice you just couldn't make yourself vape?

    A PRIME example of how subjective people's tastes can be! MBV's Absinthe almost seemed to vaporize itself in my house, as fast as my wife and I were going through it. Two other people I know switched to vaping *just* to have this one flavor, including buying the hardware and *metal* tanks for...

    How will the e-cig developing in near future

    My local Shell service station that only a month ago started stocking Blu and a couple of other brands of cigalikes, were excited to show me their new "starter kit" display the other day... these are simply rebranded ego bubble packs. Most include one battery (around 650 mah), a USB charger...

    Anyone Better Than Mt Baker Vapor?

    MBV is very liberal about customer reviews. One star up to five star, they are all there. Find a juice flavor you think you *might* like and carefully read the reviews of others. Some juices end up getting reviewed on youtube as well (from MBV and other vendors, of course). Ultimately it's...

    Anyone Better Than Mt Baker Vapor?

    Taste and the word "better" is a very subjective thing. I've got juice from Roar, Fuzion, Cloud9, DeKang, Tsunami, half a bottle of Pink Spot, and several other vendors. Some of them have flavors I like a bit better than others, all of them make at least one flavor I simply can't stand. I'm...

    RBA Coil Resistance changing

    On my vamo I've seen resistance change because there was juice in the 510 well! I'm in the habit of *never* over tightening anything and apparently that film of juice is enough to make a cruddy contact between the positive pin and the atty. Picking up the Vamo, vaping it, setting it back down...

    RBA Coil Resistance changing

    A short is the most likely cause of such behavior. Specifically? I'd check to make sure the screws were *tight* first. Even a bit loose, especially on the knurled nuts you are supposed to tighten with your fingers, can do that. Tank end of the wick lightly contacting metal on the inside...

    Non Battery powered E-cigs...Post Apocalyptic Scenario...

    I'm thinking a pipe, with the bowl lined with mesh and stuffed with silica would hold a fair amount of juice. Just heat with a lighter or any other flame source. Might take a bit of practice to get the right hit you are after but really, it isn't the wire in the coil that is important for...

    Any companies that rebuild protank heads?

    I'm assuming since you already have some ceramic that you've already tried rebuilding them yourself? I don't have a protank but they don't look any more or less difficult than anything else I've rebuilt... from RBAs and drippers to vivis and even cheap clearos.

    which nicotine concentration helped you quit analogs?

    Copy and paste of a post I just wrote in another thread: I've been fiddling with e-cigs for four years, trying to kick a 25+ year long 1.5 PAD habit. Sure, back then the devices sucked but so did the juice. And when most of the juice was being labeled "STRONG" for 18mg and "MEDIUM" for 12-16mg...

    trying to vape only but keep smoking

    Exact same story here! I've been fiddling with e-cigs for four years, trying to kick a 25+ year long 1.5 PAD habit. Sure, back then the devices sucked but so did the juice. And when most of the juice was being labeled "STRONG" for 18mg and "MEDIUM" for 12-16mg what's a guy to do? So it was a...

    trying to vape only but keep smoking

    Excellent suggestions on here! Don't get busted "smuggling" higher than legal nicotine into the country. That said for someone who smokes like you do I'd recommend 36mg juice, undiluted, or even stronger (48mg) if you are going to add it to weaker stuff. The real and more legal thing that...

    Nooooo!! SVD stopped working! Please help

    You can use that "beauty ring" to help stabilize a tank too. Screw it on just until it makes contact and will fire, then tighten that ring so it snugs up against the bottom of the tank.
