    What do you do with juice you don't like/won't use?

    We had a rather busy ant colony that lived under the deck and I tracked the scouts that were coming into the house back to that nest. I had lots of 18 and 24 nic commercial juices that were way outta date and since DIY I didn't vape them. Added a bunch of sweetener, cut them down to 6nic then...

    Smelly juice on the exhale?

    I bought a tobacco several years back(all I remember it had a fancy eagle on the label) that really tasted nice. I was in the car vaping while waiting for my wife to get her ducks in a row, she got into the car and just bout puked. She said it smelled like rotten feet so I got out of the car...

    KangerTech SUBTANK Mini

    Its the thinning of the wicking especially using rayon. I wick my STM almost exactly the way I wicked my kayfuns and have never had a leaking issue. Cutting the wick a bit longer than needed so I can pull some back into the coil not to have the last wrap partially exposed. I then blow onto the...

    KangerTech SUBTANK Mini

    I have a dozen STM rba's (all are genuine kanger) in the rotation, I always have a clean rba just to swap the coil into and clean the other later. The rba gets taken to pieces with every coil replacement and so far in the couple plus years of use I have broken the top couple threads on the...

    Kangertech Subox Mini Battery Continues Charging [Issue]

    The chargers that are in the mods are held together with micro dots of solder. It doesn't take much to loosen or break the USB charging. Spend on a good external charger and only use the USB if you absolutely have to. Go onto youtube to get the mod apart then better determination of the charging...

    KangerTech SUBTANK Mini

    Some of my drifting off the kanger path was the TFV4, very frustrating atty using the RBA with its random dumping of juice and constant dryhitting led me to shelve it before tossing it into a wall then considered it wasted money. It was when I discovered thinning of tails with rayon I revisited...

    KangerTech SUBTANK Mini

    My entire vape journey has had kanger involved. The clearos didn't last long once I found out there is much better out there. Protank was what I learnt to build then just expanded from there, T3 was a brief sidetrack but back to the PT for a couple years for 2 vapers. Kayfun showed me lower...

    KangerTech SUBTANK Mini

    Its not overkill at all once you've sat down and wasted your time rewicking then get a off or burnt taste from that rewicked coil. Same thing with orings..they have to be removed, cleaned and the groove cleaned also to ensure a good seal. If you can spin the glass then the seal has been...

    Canadian Government now has an official stance on Vaping!

    IMO the government is setting up to tax vaping to become just as expensive as smoking. My only issue with flavor bans are the tobacco flavors with no place in Canada other than some smoke shops to buy leaf to make your own. The couple broken cigars I used for my first extraction was not very...

    KangerTech SUBTANK Mini

    I got several kits that Healthcabin was fire-sailing for 6 bucks a while back. They all had RBA's with the smaller holes, don't see how smaller hole is better but whatever. I matched a bit to the larger hole and drilled them all out, removed the burrs and they work just fine. Been building STM...

    Help me get off sub-ohming

    I found subohm just a phase I went through and it was a good run. Went through lots of juice, fogged many rooms but still find more satisfaction vaping higher ohm builds. 1.4Ω 29/34 rayon clapton been my build of choice for eons. Its easy on the batts, throws a quality vape and I feel safe using...

    TFV4 On Alien 220 TC

    You fire the coil and take a normal vape you have to allow some ramp up time for the coils to heat up some...I lightly blow down till I see a nice plumb come out the airflow then refire but taking a vape. On the second vape soon after the first it only takes a moment and the coil gets red hot...

    Help me get off sub-ohming

    Subohm was just a phase for me. I built the nasty builds but eventually reverted back to 1.4Ω+ coils. The yuppies are after cloudz, cloudz, cloudz so max VG and subohm gets the job done...very expensively buying commercial juices. The toll on batteries and massive consumption of juice wore out...

    TCR value

    Some USB cords are just for charging and not for data transfer. Could be why the comp doesn't recognize the hitter.

    TCR value

    I found TC both frustrating and a extensive learning curve that I never really did grasp completely enough to continue using the TC mode, way too much hit and miss to enjoy TC vaping. I even installed Arcticfox into my Istick100 modifying the power curves but that helped some but still never...

    What happened to Kangertech?

    For those who have the STM vertical coils. You can tap them apart without wrecking any part of the head to remove the vertical sleeve part to make it into a horizontal coil that is much easier to rebuild. I have enough RBA's and regular horizontal coils that it'll be a long time before I get to...

    What happened to Kangertech?

    There is no comparison to the RBA vs the drop in coils. Its the freedom of building nasty subohm up to the tootle puffing 1.6Ω+ builds. The only part that is becoming a issue for me since most of my STMs are several years old is the rubber insulator in the base that are beginning to dry out and...

    What happened to Kangertech?

    Its been Kangertech throughout our entire vape journey. The protank and its rebuilding set the stage for all my building today. I do have some other attys from other companies but they don't match up to the reliability of the subtank mini we have been using for few years now. The RBA is simple...

The jars I have are round, short and fat, tall and skinny and a odd piece I found at a garage sale a few years ago thats shaped like a half a erlenmeyer flask but short, thin glass flat bottom(no convex) and very wide top...I think its some...
