    Hello Everyone!

    The twist is a good option too. ECF helped a lot. That little search box gave me more answers than any one thread could :)

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    I understand; I hope you are successful! Maybe the others who have this hemp can also let you know if it smells to them. It's the best I've tried so far that is not cotton :) Also, no damage noticed after the method of boiling that I used.

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    Hmm.. I had odd smells with bamboo; not so much with hemp. I boiled it 3 times 15 minutes each. It has a slight earthy taste, but it quickly dissipates. I can't say it disappears completely. Also some flavors don't mix well at all with certain materials (Like bamboo and peppermint/menthol)...

    Waking at night. normal?

    I vaped a DIY mix in the beginning well beyond 24mg. I had no sleep issues at all. I gradually reduced my Nic to 16mg/ml and only vaped on a VG mix. The only time I experience any sleep problems was when I started mixing flavors into my fluid. I want back to just plain H20/VG/nic mix (in the...

    Another show-off vaping on the bus

    In a Socialist/communist country it is your duty to tell him to stop making it harder for the rest of the Valiant SG Vapers! :) (All jokes aside, I think I know why you do not do this...) "Big Brother is everywhere"....

    Hello everyone

    Greetings! I smoked over 25 years and then chewed nico-gum for 2 years. I started using and eGo from Joye and it changed my life. My whole family used to smoke. They all vape now. I'm gradually lowering my nicotine in my fluid. I find vaping much like smoking a fine pipe; even once I reach 0...

    Wow, it's quiet in here

    Here sits a "Newb" wondering "what the H*ll is a Chuck? Chuckleheads? whaa? :) Looks like something that some guy saw and decided to make a company like.. oh maybe ProVape? :)

    Terminator RA Tank

    I made a spacer/washer and put it between the nut and the o-ring, so no, I haven't tried two o-rings since they could slip out of alignment easier (just my opinion). I'm not implying it wouldn't work, I just prefer a solid spacer with a single o-ring :)

    Terminator RA Tank

    Funnily enough, all these issues are identical to the original Ody! lol But the vape is so good, we don't mind 'em :) Glad to hear you have the leaking under control ;) Oh, and if it gurgles a bit from opening the mouthpiece too much, just raise the base above the mouthpiece slightly as you...

    Terminator RA Tank

    I have my own small pile, but it's mainly just cotton, bamboo, and silica wicks :) Flat-braid, squarebraid, Oh.. and some very cheaply made "Hyper SRTs" that failed after 14 days of use. Beyond that I still have my AGAs and Vivis. I bought my Provari right off the bat, so no PVs in said "bone...

    Terminator RA Tank

    I lube generally with VG with no leaking issues with either of my Terms. It may seal easier with Vaseline, but I've had no problems as of yet :) However, I tend to take one or the other apart every 2 days or so to tinker/test new wicks/ideas...

    Terminator RA Tank

    Binding the negative NR wire under the ring causes the bottom o-ring to mis-align and leak. Instead of pinning it under that nut/ring, wrap that wire around the wick so it makes contact with the base. Make sure it doesn't extend so far that it can touch the positive pin below the ceramic. Have...

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    Speaking of knitting: Hey Quigs, is the crochet party this coming Wednesday going to be at your place or Cool Breeze's? :)

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    I'm vaping on the square braid right now. Great stuff. It's easier to burn than hemp, but cotton tranfers flavors differently than hemp,bamboo, silica, SS. I don't think there any "one" perfect option. Depends on your preferences, and the gear you're vaping with, and the juice, of course :) I...

    Hello Everyone!

    Not to throw all this at you, but having a family of vapers, you learn things :) Joye eGo and a "Vision Vivi CE5 or mini tank" would be a very good start, in my opinion. I personally like the "900 mah passthrough" from Joye because you can plug it into a usb and charge while you vape. Not too...

    A response to "GotVapes Blows. Started by DontBurnIt"

    They are a very busy, growing supplier. This brings problems. Occasionally a "dud" will slip through. Be SURE to read their policies on warranties which vary widely, depending on the product.

    What are you waiting for in the mail?

    .. waiting on another 33 flavors to add to my DIY arsenal, 2mm hemp twine to test in my Ody clone, special indestructable silica wick, 3 150uf capacitors and copper alligator clips for a DIY coil welder project, diamond cutting discs to produce ceramic wicks.

    Hello Everyone!

    Hi Callum! Welcome to one of the friendliest places on the Net! If you can't find the answer to your vaping questions here, then there is no answer! When I first started vaping, I tried to "hit" the vaporizer like a cigarette. Most typical PVs can't handle that much air draw all at once. a...
