    Vaping is a Different Medium of Enjoyment NOT Subordinate to Smoking

    I assumed that most vapers were ex-smokers. Seems this is changing. I've run into a few people who've never smoked and vape because of the "relax-factor" (as they put it). They've never vaped nicotine and found it amusing that I did... Talk about odd :) hmm.. Maybe they were just "messing...

    If you couldn't ever vape again...

    I've DIYed my e-juice and have brought my nic intake to levels so low, that I sometimes forget I vape... until I get some coffee and wake up and remember :) I'll never go back to smoking. I have no desire for it, nor am I hooked on vaping. It's like smoking a fine meerschaum pipe; if I could...

    NICORETTE® Inhaler ...

    I saw the Nicorette inhalers in Germany a few times. My story is similar: Received good information/assistance from an experienced vaper. Had shifted my addiction from cigs to gum. Still craved cigs two years later but relented. Started vaping and the desire has completely diminished. Mixing...

    Ithaka official

    Yeah Imeo! Buy a "few more CNCs" like fix suggested! Seriously, CNCs are not cheap. I think Imeo would have to sell a *LOT* of Ithakas to cover the cost of just one CNC :) Will be great to have the Ithaka. If a cheap Chinese copy of the Ody is the best vape I can find, then I HAVE to have an...

    What are the most common complaints about the ProVari?

    If you're not happy with your Provari, you can find a buyer easily. They hold their value very well. Oh wait.. this is the complaint thread... Oh I have one: It can appear as a weapon with the right atty. Be careful in public, you may give law enforcement something to be concerned about. (I...

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

    There's a Terminator involved.. lol So I take my wife to our favorite Gelato shop. Since it's winter and friday night 9:30ish no one's there but us. The lady serving us noticed my provari with the Term and was asking about it. As I was explaining e-cigs and demonstrating two police officers...

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    BJ43's 1mm hemp really rocks in Vivis. I should be getting my 2mm hemp in today. I'm curious to see how it wicks in my Ody clone.

    Different Cottons for different wicks

    I've tried a few different bamboo variants and it just tasted funky to me. I found out that it doesn't mix with peppermint or menthol... which just so happen to be my daily vapes.:blink:

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

    After observing this torquing through the heating/cooling of the Term over the last few days, I've noticed it tightens itself. If you tighten it snug and leave it that way for a few days, I wouldn't be surprised if it eventually snaps from the stress.

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    I made a very short "drip wick" with that hemp twine by wrapping three pieces in a coil and mounting that in my AGA-T for testing my DIY flavors. That hemp takes a fair amount of dry burn. It's pretty tough stuff for being natural.. It's not silica, of course... Again, good find BJ43.

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

    After seeing/hearing all of you using the various plastic mods, I thought I'd share what happened to my Term-C. Two days after I got it, I went to open it to refill and the plastic just came apart in my hands. It separated behind the o-ring. I'm really careful with my vape gear. Thanks to...

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

    I found a brick/drywall anchor made of plastic. You know, one of those that'd you'd use to hang a towel rod. Pretty small.The top portion that keeps it from slipping into the wall just happened to have the right diameter. I cut it off and sanded it to 0.5 mm which is working great after about...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    Wouldn't drying in a microwave be the solution for the wick? (minus the coil obviously)

    Vivi Nova 28g oval coil 1mm hemp wick

    FINALLY got my hemp twine (the one BJ43 posted a link to) 1mm boiled, dried and installed in a few of my attys/RBAs. In the Vision Vivi Novas I took two 1mm wicks of twine, wrapped A-1 Kanthal 32awg, (4 wraps by hand). Measured 1.8 ohms. Wow. This is a new favourite. Move over candle wick...

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    Picked this up off of Ebay to see how it performs with my Ody clone: Natural Hemp Twine Bead Cord 2mm 197 Feet 60m | eBay If it doesn't work, I'll have PLENTY of packaging twine :D

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    Wow. I'm impressed with how well this wicks so far. I made a wick similar to the setup you have, just wrapped it by hand with 4 turns of 32awg A-1. Got a 1.8 ohm coil set at a mere 3.7V. my wicks are much shorter to see how the tastes of various juices work with this material. As a slight...

    Terminator Clear Tank

    That's a great idea! Also: There's those little tubes of vaseline with the extended nose which is what I used until just now :)

    USPS Tracking?

    Stamps.com has update issues I've noticed. Seems that USPS.com is slightly better at tracking, but not by much :) When I order from Stormy, Stamps tells me that my package is still somewhere in Georgia... "Really?" I ask as I vape on my new hardware..... :)... in California...

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    oOoOo... You just got me into rebuild mode.. lol I've got a few vivis that now require my undivided attention ;) Hey BJ, Do I need to account for swell like I do with cotton?

    Terminator Clear Tank

    A note about the Term-C: I believe that the plastic portion works itself tighter by the heating and cooling process when vaping. MAKE SURE to check periodically that the plastic portion isn't working itself too tight. I had one separate just behind the o-ring. This may be common knowledge to...
