    Dumb Puff Counters

    Some of my mods have puff counters, but I've never paid much attention to the count. We vape our juice according to what it takes to satisfy at a given nic level and ignore the rest of the stats. It's all about nic satisfaction. I judge my vaping by the amount of juice I vape in a day. At...

    Who sells the best Nic VG?

    Last resort, you might want to buy VG and/or PG from Amazon and 100mg nic base from a supplier on the internet and mix your own. Stock up and preserve your ability to vape. Who knows how long we will be able to procure the nic we need to continue vaping? There are still multiple suppliers and...

    I knew you knew that. :) Just clarifying for newbies.

    Cotton vs Rayon

    True. Cellucotton is the most used term for Rayon.

    Cotton vs Rayon

    FWIW, No load means no heat. Variable voltage translates to variable wattage. Both are referenced to a given load. Just clarifying for users who aren't versed in Ohm's Law. ohms law examples - Search

    Lounge Lizards / Misfits / Free Thinkers / Bohemians & the Forgotten :: Young at Heart Only

    I had the beginnings of cataracts that were starting to affect vision. The eye surgeon told me that they weren't that bad, but were beginning to affect my vision and it would only get worse if I waited. He gave me the option to do it now or wait and I chose now. I'm glad I did. I can read...

    Are you done stocking up?

    That's a good way to buy 100mg nic base. I bought 3 liters several years ago. I broke it down into 100ml Pyrex bottles and it's been water clear for 2 or 3 years in the deep freeze. The one bottle I kept in the fridge turned a light Amber tint, so I had to put it in the freezer. Taste wasn't...

    Are you done stocking up?

    I have some of both. Most of mine are Chinese clones.

    Are you done stocking up?

    Thanks, but I have a few in my backup stock. The one that just broke has been running for years and I have a few for backup, plus a dozen or so new Kayfuns still in their shrink wrapped boxes.

    Lounge Lizards / Misfits / Free Thinkers / Bohemians & the Forgotten :: Young at Heart Only

    Actually, it wasn't a big deal. Of course, this being surgery on eyes I did have some concern, but the eye surgeon I used has done a huge number of ocular implants over his many years in practice. I was asleep during the procedure and woke up rather quickly afterwards. It was done in his high...

    Lounge Lizards / Misfits / Free Thinkers / Bohemians & the Forgotten :: Young at Heart Only

    I had ocular implant surgery about a year ago. The surgery consisted of making a slit along the edge of the Cornea, pulling out the natural lens, and inserting a new lens. All that was done under light IV sedation. My vision afterwards was 20/20 in both eyes with no astigmatism. I still use...

    Lounge Lizards / Misfits / Free Thinkers / Bohemians & the Forgotten :: Young at Heart Only

    I vape mostly iStick Picos. I think every one I have has had a slide off the table. They all still work, although a few have visible fine scratches.

    Back in my teens we had a cat that liked to sleep on my bed. I had a 3' stuffed alligator at the time. I started putting the alligator on my bed after I made it up. The first day after, the cat jumped up on the bed, came face to face with the alligator, did a rapid turnaround, hit the floor...

    Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

    Right now, I'm at 8 watts on my Kayfun. Whatever it takes to bring on a light cigarette style vape!

    Can a low batteries cause less flavor? And weird initial loss of flavor after juice change.

    Sound like your wick was on the dry side of optimum. When the juice finally began to saturate the wick, your flavor returned. Coils can also contribute to weak flavor when new. I used to put new coils into a shot glass and add a little juice to cover the bottom of the coil/wicking. As the...

    Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

    I did the same thing for my Kayfuns. There were something like 50 or 100 rings in a bag. Those should last me decades since I only replace 0-rings when they begin to leak juice or fail to hold vacuum.

    Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

    Insurance is a box full of everything you will ever need to continue vaping. I have shoe boxes of hardware in a closet. Most of it was purchased between 2010 and later, once I realize that vaping was the cure for the smoking habit. I'm still vaping Kayfuns at 10W and still finding them to be...

    Current flow

    Exactly what I was taught in my electronics training. All that theory proved itself in actual practice as a Tech Rep. Of course, resistance changes everything and a bad connection throws off the expected result. I've always been happy with low wattage vapes that reproduce something similar to...

    Vape Ban

    Agree. Nicotine isn't so much a danger to lungs. It's the tars and other chemicals produced during the burning process of actual smoking (around 4000 of those) that are harmful. After vaping and quitting the cigs since 2010, my lungs are clear and my doctor says he sees no signs that I ever...

    Are you done stocking up?

    I stocked up mostly in hardware and 100mg nic in the last couple of years. Kayfuns have been my go to vape, although I have a considerable number of various other tanks. I have a medium sized box full of new Kayfun atomizers, all still in the shrink wrapped packaging they arrived in, plus the...
