    Recoiled my 1st Vivi Nova head, RBA's here I come!

    hehehe.. I'm definitely one of "the easily amused" so I'm with you on the excitement :) Seriously, it's not that easy in the beginning but the more you make, the easier it gets. Some hold a needle with the wick to help keep the coil straight. There's a lot of info. I found that using some...

    Wanting a Easy RBA

    I have the "original" AGA-Tiamat, but I've modded it some. Bored out the holes to accomodate a larger wick (not using SS). Overall a nice vape.

    My first "real" e-cig came today! :)

    I like some of the tobacco flavors, but I'm one of those who craves a cig when vaping the "taste-alikes".. Oh well.. There are thousands of other flavors for ppl like me :)

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

    I don't have a Choddy(Terminator), but this has been addressed multiple times in this thread. dwcraig even went as far as removing the bottom o-ring to prove his point: The leaking comes from the larger o-rings not sealing correctly. One permanent fix is getting larger sized o-rings; some use a...

    First DIY Attempt

    Oh.. and whatever you do: Make SURE you're vaping your mix, and not straight extract! I did that once...... WOW is all I have to say about that.... ;)

    SmokTek Hyper SRT II (Nov 24 2012)

    UPDATE: As of Feb 8, 2013 the SmokTech "R" is still working great. It's been used every other day since I first got it, with about a week's pause due to my Odysseus Clone obsession :) It has certainly outlasted the "Hyper SRT II" by leaps and bounds and in light of this, I highly recommend the...

    Wanting a Easy RBA

    I started out with the Hyper SRT II, but after comparing it side-by-side, it's my opinion that the SRT is nothing more than a rebrand/rename. You be the judge. I started a thread with my experiences with the SRT and later the "R". I have pictures comparing both...

    My first "real" e-cig came today! :)

    Nice! Glad to hear you're enjoying the switch and the good experience with your e-cig. I started out with a Joye 900mah passthrough; much like the battery you are using. They are good, that's for sure :) The CE4 is a good disposable. I thought I'd get a Stardust, which looks a lot like the CE4...

    Wanting a Easy RBA

    I know so far most are touting the AGA-Ts. I have the AGA-Tiamat, and the AGA hydra. Both are decent RBAs, but I found I didn't care so much for the cooler vape. Turns out I prefer the bottom air fed types that came from the Odysseus-style RBA. I found a cheap one that delivers outstanding...

    Vivi Nova- love/hate relationship

    I used to have some issues with dry hits and got fed up and started making my own coils. This opened up a lot of possibilities. I have cotton wicks, hemp twine wicks, silica wicks. I noticed that any wick (regardless of material) seems to recover faster when they are short. If I want to chain...

    First DIY Attempt

    How long have you been vaping so far? It can take a few days for your throat to adjust. VG/PG dries you out. Drink lots of water! Glad to hear you're enjoying the DIYing. It's become a real obsession for me. I currently have over 100 flavors that I use for myself and many friends. :) Also...

    I wish I could give you a specific percentage for your geneisis, but my range is from 7 to 14 percent.

    Day 19 ... and suddenly I can't taste a thing!

    I have an issue where I can't taste the vapor at a certain time almost every day. When I'm sick, I can't taste anything at all. I rarely have any lung congestion anymore since I stopped smoking and started vaping.

    My first Provari should be waiting in the mail...tonight!

    Ah yes. The first Provari... I have to tell myself every day that I don't need a second one ;) The best investment I ever made for my health was the Provari :)

    burning taste at higher voltages

    If you look at the bottom of the head you'll see a small whit(ish) rubber ring sandwiched between the metal contacts. The other side of that ring is what smolders if when the coil legs get too hot. I rebuild mine all the time, and often I have to tinker with them to keep 'em from burning. They...

    Weight Issues with switching?

    My wife vapes all sorts of flavors that I make for her(Nicotine free of course). She vapes instead of eating. Kind of funny since she's never smoked! :) She's lost over 60 pounds, but certainly due to exercise; not vaping. Vaping just keeps her away from the sweets :)

    burning taste at higher voltages

    Vivi Nova Stardust/Mini/Tanks have a small rubber grommet that holds the heating coil's legs in place. If pushed too hard, this grommet can singe giving off a bad taste/smell.

    A lesson in 'liking it one minute, hating it the next'

    Taste buds can be strange. There are times of the day (every day, about the same time) where my daily favorite just tastes off. I vape other flavors and come back to it after an hour or two.

    Just hemp

    My experience with hemp twine is much like BJ43's so far. The wicking in my Ody clones with hemp is good, but not as good as #1/0 cotton candle wick so far. Here's a pic of the hemp twine I have posted in other threads. Apparently my 1mm hemptwine is not the same as the one that BJ43 received...

    1st post. How many flavors do you having going at once?

    I have one daily "basic" that I vape and additional "designer" fluids that I vape depending on mood, tastebuds, etc. I have a total of 30 flavors. Typically I vape my basic, and maybe one or two others during the day. You are not alone :)
