    Best way to rapidly test/sample eliquid?

    I usually go by smell. The way that the juice smells is pretty close to the way that it tastes. Your taste buds are only responsible for a handful of 'flavors' and your nose handles the rest of it. Seriously, plug your nose next time you're eating something....anything. Or, remember when you...

    Aspire Nautilus - The thing every reviewer is raving about

    It sounds more like you're drawing on the device too hard. These tanks are operated on a slight vacuum inside the chamber, and the vacuum is maintained by your suction. Too little suction and it dries out (like when you fire it without taking a drag), yet too much suction will flood the coil...

    MadVapes Weekly Contest - September 22 through September 26

    I have more hobbies than I can count....and very little time to do any of them. My current primary hobby is staying at home with my almost 3 year old. I call it a hobby, but it's more like a 24 hour a day job. Little guy wakes up, guess who gets to handle him. Hungry? Looks like I'm...

    How much water can be added ?

    Have you ever splashed a little water in a pan with grease in it? Like, say you're making bacon and you pull the bacon out and your tongs have a drop of water on them. The water doesn't just mix in with the grease, it pops and sort of explodes from the heat. That's similar to how water reacts...

    Kayfun Lite flooding

    And keep in mind that there is a fine line between too much wick and not enough. Dry hits usually mean that you've got too much wick, and it's blocking the juice flow channels on the bottom. Flooding usually means that there isn't enough wick tucked into those channels to keep the liquid at...

    Possible to receive Tainted Ejuice?

    Agree with tmcase. If you're having a reaction, it's possible that you a stronger dose that you were expecting. Definitely invest in a titration kit to test your nic levels. Also, consider that perhaps your PG/VG or flavorings could be causing an issue as well. While the nic is certainly...

    Question about mixing/adding e-liquids

    I agree with what SeniorBoy said for the most part. If you're buying premade juices from a respectable vendor, then mixing them together shouldn't be a problem though. If all things are the same except the nicotine content, then mixing the two as equal parts will give you the same flavor...

    Kick or no Kick?

    The voltage drop is the reason that I don't care for mech mods. If you want a mech, get a mech. You'll get used to changing your batteries earlier than you would in a regulated mod, and you'll learn about how the voltage drop really effects you. If you want something consistent, get a...

    MadVapes Weekly Contest - September 15 through September 19

    Cream Cheese Wontons! ...and I don't think it would be a good idea to try. Besides, if I found the perfect wonton flavor, it would probably just make me crave the real ones all the time...and that would be ...unfortunate.

    Can't Decide- MVP 2.0 or VTR?

    I have an MVP. I also have my original set of eGo-T batteries (That still work) from 3 years ago when I started this hobby... I also have a good collection of mods around here that I almost never use, but don't want to part with....back-ups, you know? Honestly, I doubt that the replaceable...

    Replacing glass on Kanger Aerotank v2

    When my Kayfun's clear section cross threaded, I had the same problem. I had some of those things you put under outlet covers to try and reduce the drafts, they're thick, foamy and sort of rubbery, so they make a good grip. I used that under a needle nose pliers to take mine apart. May or may...

    Nicotine

    My wife says that I don't even have a heart, so I can't really comment. Seriously though, unless you're DIYing your juices and handling high concentrations, or ordering anything over 24mg, you shouldn't notice anything. As far as nicotine itself causing issues, there just haven't been enough...

    if you been vaping 2 or more years please reply

    3 years here. Before I made the switch to vaping, I had started to sound like my dad. Ten minutes or so in the bathroom in the morning trying to clear the junk out of my lungs that had built up over night. Constantly clearing my throat and coughing up stuff. That mostly went away within the...

    Tobeco Kayfun leak when transporting

    Look down into the chamber with the drip tip off, after it's completely assembled. I had a problem that the chimney wasn't making a good seal on the top cap of mine once, because the center clear piece and the bottom metal were cranked together too tight and the plastic's thread broke. I had...

    Mechanical Mod Ruining Battieries

    More than likely the coil your using has less resistance than the switch, causing the switch to generate heat instead of the coil. Almost all multimeters have a +/- variance of 0.2 ohms... And if your coil is reading 0.2,then it could very well be a 0.0 ohm coil. That's one of the reasons...

    Tasty Vapor and Tank/Cartomizer Longevity

    I wonder if maybe you're looking at this the wrong way. More on that in a bit though, let's talk about DCTs. I was a big DCT user about 3 years ago. Like you, I preferred single coils, there wasn't anything special about the dual coils that I liked. Though I tended toward lower resistance...

    Atty not firing helllpp :(

    You said that your meter reads it, I'm assuming that you're metering it from the 510 connection. One probe on the threaded outer ring and the other on the center post. If you have any other mods to test it on, you should try that first. It sounds like the center post isn't making contact...

    which multimeter/omnimeter to buy?

    If you're just looking for something to check your attys before you fire them, then any old multimeter will work fine. You can use them to check your batteries and everything, that's why they have the dial on them, for different settings. There are a few e-cig shops that sell acrylic display...

    coil build advice

    Something else to keep in mind too: Every coil you add, reduces the resistance by that much. Assuming you're making 5 ohm coils, every coil reduces it. Dual 5 ohm coils will give you a resistance of 2.5 ohms. Triple coils should be 1.6 ohms, etc.

    first mech mod?

    Something to keep in mind with mech mods: You're going to be dealing with voltage drop constantly. When I used mechanical mods way back before VV with a big thing, it drove me crazy. Basically, you pull your battery off the charger and it fires at 4.2 volts for a while. Then as the...
