    after how many days i should change coils, how do you know its bad

    It can, not always. Depends on the amount of flavorings & sweeteners the liquid contains. Highly flavored & sweetened + under powering = rapid coil gunk build up.

    What happened to 5 volt 3.0 ohm vaping?

    Mtl can produce very nice clouds, sure, not as much as a Dtl sub ohm wide open airflow cloud blower type delivery device. Vg is what produces cloudz, increasing the Vg in your liquids to 60 -70% or if you already use high Vg liquids will make a noticeable difference in cloud production over a...

    Sore throat when switching to e salt nic?

    Okay, so my analogy failed & further confused the conversation. During analysis either example can be & is broken down into the base elements and those individual elements can be easily defined & measured by themselves. Analysis will reveal every single detail of the composition, will identify...

    Sore throat when switching to e salt nic?

    No sir, I am not, but thanks for the concern. You're being ridiculous, thats like saying an egg ceases to be an egg when mixed with cheese and the mixture is cooked. Or whiskey's molecular structure magically and permanently changes when mixed with coke. If you were to have either analyzed...

    Sore throat when switching to e salt nic?

    No need to. One of my sister in laws is a forensic chemist that also vapes, with a masters, and 35+ years of experience, I'll take her word based on her knowledge & experience over interweb chatter, marketing hype and rumor. I agree, in raw concentrated form, nic salts & free base are...

    Sore throat when switching to e salt nic?

    The point being milligram per milliliter is an accurate standardized unit of measure. The number of milligrams represents the amount of nicotine in milligrams present in 1 milliliter of base. milligram = a unit of mass equal to one thousandth of a gram. milliliter = a unit of liquid volume...

    Sore throat when switching to e salt nic?

    Yes going from 3mg/ml to 35 mg/ml is an enormous jump in nicotine and most likely the cause of harshness & sore throat. It could also be a lingering or reoccurrence of the illness you spoke of. Going from 3 mg/ml to 25 or 35mg/ml is 8 to 10.5 times more nicotine, of course there will be side...

    Salt nicotine concentration

    Those are the first symptoms of intaking too much nicotine,(nic sick) a clear sign you should lower your nic mg/ml or vape less. It may sound like a lot of nicotine, your body doesn't absorb much of it and vapor doesn't contain the chemicals, toxins & carcinogens that you inhale from smoldering...

    after how many days i should change coils, how do you know its bad

    When the flavor or vapor production drops off noticeably or the airflow becomes restricted, or when it tastes odd, off, funky or burnt, or when it leaks for no apparent reason. No set days or mls, head life has more to do with the flavorings & especially sweeteners used in the liquids you use...

    Provari Radius Repair

    My last contact with Provari repair was June 6th when he sent an email in response to my inquiry of getting a Radius repaired. His message " ProVari Repair is closed due to other responsibilities. I am considering reopening in late summer/fall." Don't know if he will reopen or not at this...

    In to 7th day, will it be better from now?

    Yes I know what setup you're currently using. In my previous response I gave a very good Mtl recommendation, Geekvape aegis solo 'mod'/power device combined with an innokin zenith 'tank. Or if you prefer internal non replaceable battery 'mod' & a Mtl 'tank' the Kroma / Zenith kit. I'd...

    Sore throat when switching to e salt nic?

    For all practical & functional purposes nic salt/protonated nic and free base are no different. 3 mg/ml is the same standardized unit of measure containing the same 3 milligrams of nicotine per milliliter. The difference is salt nic is ph modified which reduces harshness/throat hit and in...

    In to 7th day, will it be better from now?

    Asking basically the same questions in more than one thread can lead to severe confusion / difficulty keeping track of every tip, suggestion & tidbit of advice for everyone involved. What type of inhale do you prefer Mtl or Dtl? This info makes all the difference in the world on which delivery...

    Stockpile of supplies

    Blister pack heads are the same thing as replaceable atomizer coil heads or replaceable coils, or drop in coils, or replaceable coil cartridges, folk just use all sorts of terms to describe the same basic thing. They come in a box usually in quantities of 5, they are a single piece unit...

    Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part Seven

    The innokin zenith I recommended has a normal size drip tip / mouth piece no larger in diameter than a cig a like or any of the older tanks including the ebc or gbc. It does look different and isn't built in / part of the tank, it is removable, so you can replace it with just about any '510'...

    How do you define "advanced vaping"?

    The definition each person uses probably has more to do with when they started and what was available at that time. To me advanced vaping means you know how to get the vape you want/need by improving/manipulating the equipment and power you have. No matter how cool or hot, anything from...

    Sore throat when switching to e salt nic?

    Not necessarily, first a trip to the doctor to ensure whatever you had is fully over with or isn't returning / on going. There isn't anything different between free base nic and nic salts that would prevent using either in any type of delivery device interchangeably at the same mg/ml. From...

    What happened to 5 volt 3.0 ohm vaping?

    Due to vast improvements in delivery devices over the years the older style 5v / 3.Ω carto has gone out of style and been replaced with Mtl 'tanks' that use .7Ω - 1.8Ω replaceable atomizer coil heads. There are some places that still carry & sell carto's, they aren't as easy to find as they once...

    Pretty Please Help w/Nic Salt (losing my mind!)

    If I may interject an opinion, Don't worry or be concerned with the nic salts/protonated nic versus free base nic thing at all. Nic salt / protonated nicotine is smoother, less harsh, decreases throat hit, which makes vaping higher nic mg/ml liquids possible without the harshness / throat hit...
