    Many resolve to quit.

    There's the tendency to categorise things like smoking as a 'disease' or 'disorder'. Like tobacco use disorder or whatever they call it now, which according to them has to be treated with a medical product. A doctor commenting on 'hunger disorder' in the near future... "We don't know if...

    Christmas wishlist!!

    Yes that;s right it's an auto switch but it works pretty well. The supplied carto's are not bad and it should work pretty well with a Kanger bottom coil or Boge carto. It certainly beats any of the auto skinny batteries :)

    Christmas wishlist!!

    I bought an SD Keyring for myself and as they are inexpensive got a few more to give as presents tomorrow. Have to say they work really well for their size - and they are really tiny :) Compared to a Joye 510 Mega - the keyring actually has a larger battery @ 300mah Oh and I'm sure...

    Lava Tube Battery Scam

    Steve do you have any idea who the original manufacturer is for the 1600mah AW IMR's? I'm making the assumption that AW does not make them themselves, as you say, cell manufacturer is really the area of large companies (LG, Samsung, Sony, Panasonic, some less known Chinese companies etc.)...

    Is this the reason that people prefer HV vaping?

    A 60w bulb on a 230v mains supply is no brighter than a 60w bulb on 110v, or even on a 60w bulb powered by a 12v car battery. Watts are watts. Atty's work on the same principal - passing an electrical current through a coiled filament - so I don't think there's any magical difference from...

    18650 C-rating vs charge capacity

    The other AW 18650 batteries are rated to 2C, I believe. So that's 5.2 Amps on the 2600mah AW battery, or 5.8 Amps on the 2900mah one. Should be enough for most purposes I'd think? Unless you are planning on using a couple of dual coil carto's at the same time which might be pushing it. The...

    Remove water from thinned VG. Possible?

    Do they not sell it in pharmacies there? It's a very common remedy for sore throats etc. here in the UK - Boots Value Health Glycerin B.P - 200ml - Boots It's also commonly sold for baking (a common brand is Dr. Oetker here, which I think is actually German) -...

    GGTB dummy battery

    They do, like this for example - 15mm Charging Spacer Aluminum 14500 is a similar battery size (capacity, not external dimensions) to a 16340, so I'd have thought if it can charge the 14500 it would be OK (but can't guarantee it). Here's a thread on a flashlight forum I found about this exact...

    Lava Tube Battery Scam

    Something I've noticed (no hard evidence to back it up, but a feeling) is that as the voltage of the battery drops, the LT's voltage range also decreases. The voltage it puts out is not necessarily what you dial in... I was just using a Bulli A2 at 4v (roughly 2 ohm coil on it) and noticed it...

    New initiative would make possession of tobacco or nicotine a Class C felony in Washington

    I think the link in the OP is malformed. Try this - New initiative would make possession of cigs, chew a Class C felony | Politics blog

    New initiative would make possession of tobacco or nicotine a Class C felony in Washington

    Presumably this section would also outlaw possession several pharmaceutical 'quit smoking' products, and most members of the nightshade family of plants (tomatoes, potatoes, etc.). I'd LOL if that got through, without them considering the unintended consequences :facepalm:

    Lava Tube Battery Scam

    Just a little warning in case it's not obvious to anyone - if you take any part of the wrapper off a battery you can't subsequently use it - it should be recycled.

    Lava Tube Battery Scam

    I can say that protected 18650's do not fit in the Lava Tube, unless they are shorter than normal. The cap will not screw on. Protected 18650's are at least a couple of mm longer than 65mm. I'm using my LT with generic IMR batteries (BDL's which are flat tops) which were not supplied with it...

    Germany: E-cigs caused “respiratory tract irritation and dizziness” to bystanding TC lobbyists

    My dad complains and claims that it makes him cough even from the other side of the room. But funnily enough only if he sees it (in other words if I vape when his backs turned he's none the wiser).

    EU accused of hiding support for snus / Giant lobbyists in snus battle

    I don't know a great deal about the EU setup, but in my mind anyway it follows that if the Eurozone scheiße really hits the fan, their funding is going to come under severe pressure, as of course there'll be other things to worry about. Like a massive banking crisis, and global depression...

    EU accused of hiding support for snus / Giant lobbyists in snus battle

    I wonder what the situation regarding EU laws will be if the Eurozone collapses, as many are now predicting?

    Types of nicotine base liquid

    Is that the Flavourart study? I think the subsequent tests showed the excessive puff count (120 puffs from a standard 510 cartridge) may have compromised it more. Repeated with 50 puffs on one flavour they got completely different results. See notes towards the bottom - Protocollo ClearStream...

    do wicks burn?

    Silica or glass fibre wicks don't burn, but they get brittle with enough heat. If what you had turned to ash, it's got to be made of something else. The stuff I use in my Bulli A2 rebuildable atty is glass fibre and can be scorched clean with a blue flame. Same with CE2 cartomizer wicks and...

    Clearomisers fluid in mouth

    If you have the ones that come with a very small plastic tip that you fit in the end, these tips can tend to make this problem worse. Try an ordinary drip tip instead. Also you might need to adjust the top seal so that it allows good wicking, but not excessive amounts of liquid to flow into...

    Decadent Vapor flavorings

    I like some of their Black Label tobacco's but haven't tried others. The BL tobacco's are not that concentrated (so you need to use more of them compared to a lot of other flavourings) but they are well balanced 'complete' flavours.
