    How are you Vaping

    I guess the main questions are 1. variable voltage? and what do you have it set at? and with what ohm heads? 2. what flavors are you using? chocolate and coffee flavors all have a burnt taste to me personally. 3. what percentage of VG are you using? high VG does not wick well with Protank...

    All of the above You do know that you are making some of us cuss you because of the week or less comment about Fasttech don't you?

    Best atomizer to try flavors?

    Here is what I think you want - fast simple tasting tester - I keep about 5 on hand - be careful not to over power it (stay under 5 volts or 12 watts) You can only add about 3 drops to avoid flooding and leaking. You do need to add a drip tip to it. You can carefully dry burn it to clear it for...

    Close encounter of the vape kind.

    Just be glad it wasn't an antz that wanted to "probe" you to try and find any "factual" evidence that vaping is harmful to you.

    Hi! New member, introduction and a question

    average life on a coil for me is about 22-25ml of eliquid - for me this is 4-5 days, for a friend of mine this is 21-30 days, you can also run into bad coils right out of the box - dual coils have twice the chances to have a failure or short as the single coils and if only 1 of the coils is...

    noob with new pv and need advice

    My personal recommendation would be either the Kanger Aerotank or the Aspire Nautilus as both have air flow control and dual coil heads with glass tanks that are safe with all flavors of eliquid uturn seems to just be a rebranded generic twist style brand (the one website I found that sells...

    This is what the FDA is approving while tring to ban E-cigs...

    I don't see this device causing the government to lose billions of dollars in tax revenue like smokers switching to vaping would so why would the FDA not approve it? It's all about the money! Our government truly does NOT care about our health if tax dollars (or special interest contributions)...

    New mod

    I have 2 vamo's - very easy to change wattage/voltage up or down, in fact some times it is too easy so it needs to be checked if it starts tasting different - the 510 threading can be weak but I avoid that issue by using a straight sided ego beauty ring as a tank support so I do not over tighten...

    str8 up newbie question about batteries.

    batteries to get - AW, efest, Sony, Panasonic Batteries to avoid - anything with "Fire" in the name - these are very cheap, low drain, flashlight batteries and are not designed for vaping applications Please, please, please read baditude's battery info linked in Glenn_K's post above

    20 a day smoker

    There are a few things that differ between smoking and vaping 1. nicotine absorption with vaping is slower than it is with smoking so you will probably need to try several different nic strengths - smoke is much smaller molecule that absorbs in the lungs much faster than the larger molecule...

    Button on my Maraxus is getting hot?

    your button getting hot is not a good sign - could be a minor short or eventual battery failure what is the resistance of your coil and what battery are you using (manufacturer, product #, amp rating, mah rating) also make sure the battery shows no damage or wear too low of resistance with an...

    Funny looks

    I mostly got questions about it and most people think it is really expensive until I explain you can get a good setup for less than the cost of a carton of cigs and once I learned what I was doing my vaping 200ml a month of DIY and rebuilding my heads costs less than $10 per month usually...

    What's yr anthem when vaping.

    Sweatners

    sweeteners are normally used sparingly (between 1 and 5% of total) and the most common is a ethyl maltol (EM). the simplest way to get it is to just order a cotton candy flavor concentrate like The Flavor Apprentice brand from a DIY company like One Stop DIY - One Stop DIY Shop

    sub ohm build on vv/vw?

    generally not - most regulated vv/vw devices have low ohm limit of 1.3 ohms - if you need more than 12-15 watts you need to go to a mech mode with the correct batteries and a good understanding of ohms law and battery safety - Baditudes Battery Blog part 1 Baditudes Battery Blog part 2...

    California, flavored cartomizers, and bureaucrats who invent their own laws

    YES, YES, YES It is all about the money - tax money, campaign contributions, health care dollars, big pharma money, and of course big tobacco money (although they are all getting into the ecig business now) I just wish the insurance companies would get into the act and see the benefits of...
