    Why 21700...?

    A good 21700 battery will fire your mod much longer between recharges and can handle far greater amperage draws than an 18650 battery can provide. I use Molicel P42A 21700 batteries, 4000mAh with a 45 amp CDR. You can't get anywhere near those ratings with an 18650 yet they cost the same and...

    US shipping cutoff dates - USPS, Fedex & UPS

    I like the 4oz bottles too, excellent working size for my needs. I use shallow, soft plastic containers that nest for stacking, each holds 22 bottles. Stacked three high there are 66 bottles per linear foot of shelf space in my full size upright freezer. In the unlikely event a bottle were to...

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    Perhaps Heather might start selling pre-mixed concentrated "flavorings" the way Ahlusion did after they shut down. Just add PG/VG and nic and you have your favorite HHV juice..... HHV's NETs are unique as they're the only vendor I know of that utilizes Supercritical CO2 extracts, or at least...

    US shipping cutoff dates - USPS, Fedex & UPS

    Back in 2012 I misplaced a half full 250ml bottle of nic I had purchased from Wizards lab, found it in 2014. It had been stored at room temp in a dark drawer. The nic had turned a light golden brown/amber color, smelled like wet dog and had an strong, musty off taste. In contrast I've also been...

    McMaster-Carr - Shipping reasonable?

    I've been retired for over a decade but back-in-the-day McMaster Carr was one of my primary (and preferred) industrial suppliers. Shipping costs were always based on the size and weight of item(s) being shipped, not the cheapest nor the most expensive, about average.

    Calling all ex-smokers.... how long since your last cigarette?

    It's been over eight years since I burned any tobacco. A friend introduced me to vaping and more specifically to the world of NETs (naturally extracted tobaccos). I had no ambitions of "quitting" smoking but once I acquired all the necessary gear and got started I never lit up again. Fortunately...

    Are you done stocking up?

    I've been stockpiled since before this thread was created. That never stopped me from adding more and newer stuff, it's been a lot of fun. Unfortunately it looks like the party will soon be over. Just bought 4 more Pico squeeze 2 squonk mods directly from Eleaf for $20 ea on closeout. I now...

    US shipping cutoff dates - USPS, Fedex & UPS

    FastTech has a notice on their website about shipping to countries that have banned e-cigs, the U.S. is now listed as one of those countries. It says you must first contact customer support before you order and that shipments may or may not make it through customs in your country. This seems to...

    Re-wicking RTAs and RDAs

    I dry burn and re-wick based on flavor. Running dual Clapton coils (0.2 ohms) at 55 watts I vape hybrid NETs using a squonker and usually go through 25-35ml before flavor begins to suffer. I use two mods in rotation so end up re-wicking both every four of five days. I always re-wick both mods at...

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    Tobacco extract that is 3X concentrated. Where I use 5% of a 3 fold concentrated extract, a person would need to use around 15% of regular extract for an equivalent flavor strength.

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    Everyone's sense of taste is unique and I vape VCT 98% of the time so my recipes might be a little strong for most people. (The longer I vape a specific flavor the more desensitized I become to its taste so my recipes are tweaked to suit my personal overindulged sense of taste.) I enjoy many...

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    FW Salted Caramel is one of the caramels I use regularly, great stuff. Also like their candy caramel. It's the C in VCT!

    Natural Tobaccos - Part Deux

    8 years down the road and I'm still enjoying my home made NETs, it's all I vape. Hybrid NET is my preference with VCT (Vanilla, Caramel, Tobacco) my favorite. I go through 100 ml a week so it's a good thing I learned how to make my own. Probably wouldn't have but the FDA (and to a lessor degree...

    FASTTECH - Paypal Suspension for Vape!

    I make/vape NETs (Naturally Extracted Tobaccos). While Paypal now forbids vape related purchases, I still purchase the tobaccos I extract using....Paypal. I buy most of my tobaccos from online vendors SmokingPipes and Pipesandcigars (dot com) so it's not like it's under the radar stealth...

    How much do you spend on vaping in a month?

    I spend between $2 and $3 per month. That buys a new pair of 21750 batteries and a few bottles flavorings each year. Did all the "big" spending years ago. Lifetime supply of nic, PG, VG stored at -20F in a commercial freezer. I only vape Naturally Extracted Tobacco and flavored hybrids. Learned...

    Have you ever tried using a bf RDTA (like the Pyro 3) on one of your squonk mods yet? :)

    5th anniversary of no analogs!

    Congratulations @catilley1092 ! I really enjoyed reading your post about how you discovered vaping. My story is similar, a young acquaintance introduced me to vaping and it changed my world for the better. Like you, in a very short period of time my health and well being improved dramatically...

    I just read this News

    @Vaperer I read an article this morning in CNN's health section which said the same thing. Pod/cartridge flavors (except tobacco and menthol) are going to be banned but the ban won't include retail juice for refillable atomizers. Trump administration plans to ban most flavored e-cigarette...
