    Interesting article on potential benefits of PG

    I hate to say it, but something that's too effective is generally not brought into the mainstream. No money in that. :(

    is this normal?

    Oh, You're just shifting your addiction to a different hobby; one that won't kill you quite as fast (unless you are married and your spouse decides to kill you for wasting all your money) :) I was very frugal in the beginning to see if I liked vaping. Once I figured that out I bought a...

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    I was thinking: Vaping in an Ody clone is not a real test of it's wicking abilities, although I am able to keep the mouthpiece closed and take a draw every few minutes with no dry issues so far. Nothing beats cotton for that soft billowy vape, but this hemp is doing great so far. I'll be...

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    BJ, Here's one that wicks as well as your 1mm hemp. So far, WOW. Great vapor; really lets the sweetness of the VG shine. No leaking perfect for this Ody clone! 2mm ceramic channels. I'm chaining it hard; 8-10 second draw after draw and it's holding up great. I'm using the method that the Ody...

    Terminator RA Tank

    Okay: Spacer I made of simple plastic from drywall anchor you'd use to hang a picture or curtain rod with a screw. I separated the part that goes into the wall and kept the "lip" that would keep the anchor from sliding into the hole. Hope that's clear enough. It was about 1.8 mm thick; I...

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    the 1.5mm hemp is boiled and drying. It swelled to ~2.1 mm wet.. could be a winner for my 2mm channels!...

    Vaping is a Different Medium of Enjoyment NOT Subordinate to Smoking

    I have certainly found it useful in other ways than just nicotine delivery and enjoyment. I had a particularly bad lung infection (talking about the green stuff). I mixed a batch of VG with some clove extract (not oil) and inhaled a few times. My lungs cleared up in less than 18 hours. I don't...

    Oh lol! I just realized "yes" was not an answer to your question so I'll just say I posted what I know, you're the organizer, so organize! :)

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    Yes, #1/0 cotton square braid. brand: Premium craft. (very good wicking after break in). "medium" cotton flat braid (~2mm) brand: "Yaley" from Michael's (good wicking, not great) 1mm hemp that BJ recommended - excellent wicking properties and taste settles quickly Bamboo Crochet thread...

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    That 2mm twine that I ordered came in today. It's boiling now. It's not 2mm. It's 1.5mm *made for 2mm beads". Since I got it for my Ody clone (2mm channels) I'm hoping it will swell a bit. Otherwise I have enough packaging twine to last me the rest of my days :)

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    ?!? What chu talkin' 'bout Willis? Ya gotta give it a spin man! :) Just don't try to power vape on it if it's cotton. Hemp will take more stress, but it's not silica :) As for bamboo, Lydia just doesn't like me. I can't stand it.

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    I generally vape with just VG and h20. (50ml VG/Nic in VG and 8ml distilled water) Occasionally I add some peppermint, and/or menthol into the mix, but if I'm prasing it for being good, it's on VG/Nic. The #1/0 cotton square braid that I use works well with VG, but generally I have to let it...

    What are you waiting for in the mail?

    I must confess it's not completely indestuctable; just insanely good quality. I'll report back when I've had the chance to verify the quality myself :) As for the hemp: Out of all the hemp tested by various members of the ECF community (so far), this one is the best found. Works exceptionally...

    Terminator/Nautilus/Choddy/Oddy Clone Pics, Tip,Tricks and Quirks

    "You get what you pay for" comes to mind. I have some machining experience, and CNCing Stainless is generally not cheap, even in China. Any Ody clone that is in the 50-60 USD range is a fair price in my opinion. I know we're all on a quest to get the best for the least, but I think this is...
