    Salt?

    There's always going to be some water in PG and VG. I wouldn't go assuming that they are non-conductive with salt in solution. In fact my scientific knowledge would say that is completely wrong since salt is an ionizing solution. It's more likely there just is little or no actual chlorine being...

    Salt?

    I saw a video from a Russian guy (linked soemwhere from ECF) who shows how to make an insulated coil. He basically oxidized a hypodermic needle (same as a ss mesh is oxidized) then ran the heating wire inside the needle and coiled it. It would never fit in anything but a custom made atty. ...

    Salt?

    The heating elements on an electric stove are insulated, otherwise putting a metal pan on your stovetop would short out the coil, and trip your circuit breaker. Saltwater conducts electricity. I have no idea about how much resistance it has, but placing your atomizer in a salt solution will...

    Salt?

    Neti pot salt is pure USP NaCl wih no anti-caking agents. Salt is a preservative, so doesn't need preservatives. Table salt has iodine. That may give you a real cool bright magenta vaper if you can get it to sublimate.

    Salt?

    THIS COULD BE A REALLY REALLY BAD IDEA. Salt water and electricity will 'break' the salt into Sodium and Chlorine. Cl is a deadly gas, the remaining Sodium will likely form Caustic soda. Edit: Yeah I looked it up, here's a video I'd say don't salt your juice.

    I'd be interested, and it would give me a good excuse to stock up on more DIY supplies.

    Low resistance cartomizers on KR808 - Fact or Dogma?

    I'm guessing they use the cheapest components possible and have to set the tolerences to compensate for such things as resistor inaccuracy. I think if you tested this on 10 of the same batteries they'd show some variation. These probably cost pennies to make, and are probably the highest profit...

    DIY Menthol Crystallising?

    The first crystal takes a long time to form, but once a crystal does drop out it acts as a substrate for the rest of the menthol to crystallize. There's a process called seeding where basically you could drop a small amount of crystals into the saturated solution and it will speed up the...

    Low resistance cartomizers on KR808 - Fact or Dogma?

    You have successfully knocked yourself OT. It's like Li Battery 101 ... Charging to full charge is a bad idea and leads to reduced battery life. For the entry level product you're analyzing here. I'd say it's pretty freaking obvious they want their consumers to not be ...... off by the fact...

    Low resistance cartomizers on KR808 - Fact or Dogma?

    I haven't filled one up and used it yet, but I picked up these 1.6-ohm 808 DC Cartos from Madvapes. From what I understand it affects overall battery lifetime, even if you're below the C rating. So It's not so much that it's going to fry your battery, it's more of a case that your battery...

    Is there any reason for a vendor to charge more than $ .50-.60 per ml?

    It's simply the way a free market works. Even if I was paying $1/mL I'd still be spending FAR less than I was while smoking. I have begun DIY, the savings is a benefit, but for me it's more the piece of mind about what I'm putting in my liquid. You know it only costs about $.50 to cook...

    How Long Can E-Liquid Stay Inside My Tank???

    I've just found some juices clog your wicks. With those you'll know it's time to clean it. Other than that I have cleaner juices that I run for weeks without having to clean it.

    Un- flavoured Juice.

    Yeah sometimes I find unflavored to be very nice. Especially when I find I none of my liquids are doing it for me.

    Revolver iGO/808 Battery

    Yeah, plus he seems pretty respected in the community, and has had some real good high end stuff (like the Darwin) and AFAIK is the only one selling the Opus. He's also involved in CASAA and a local business, which I always try to support. SI is great for entry level stuff. I think I saw on...

    Revolver iGO/808 Battery

    1/4-mm is barely visible to the naked eye. The difference between my X2 and iGo is about more like the difference between the diameter of a penny and a dime. Yeah I've had it a few weeks and I like it. I haven't bought a ton from nhaler, but haven't had any problems with them. I think they're...

    Looking for Replacement O-rings for the DID (US Supplier)

    You could probably check out an auto parts store, just ask them at the desk. Or if you have a real hardware store around you they might have them as well.
