    Chain vaping

    If it's a regulated box, don't worry too much about the explosion thing. Generally that happens with someone using an unregulated mechanical with bad or no ventilation, sub-par batteries, and trying to sub-ohm (running a very low resistance coil). Regulated mods, as long as you don't skimp on...

    Kangertech subtank OCC V-2 rebuild

    Cannibalize them from dead V-2's :)

    Kangertech subtank OCC V-2 rebuild

    Update: I'm Mr. Impatient, so I just went ahead and stripped one down. The fine people at Kanger seem to have gone out of their way to make it hard to do. The older style seems to have been modified with a metal insert, which makes an already tight space even harder to work in... so tight, in...

    Kangertech subtank OCC V-2 rebuild

    Bump... I'm looking into this myself. Waiting for this V-2 I'm using to die so I can do an autopsy on it & see what I can figure out.

    Rehabilitate a blu user here

    If memory serves correctly, Blu is 510 threaded... so any 510 threaded carto will work (but not low resistance ones). You can buy blanks online that have easy-to-remove rubber caps.

    Rehabilitate a blu user here

    "So please, blu haters, point me to a better place." I don't exactly hate blu, they work and all, but they're pretty weak, and the direction you're asking us to point you in doesn't exist. It's like saying you want to go from Chicago to New York without going East or crossing an ocean. It's...

    hi im new... need help

    Probably flooded. Too much juice in the coil; it sounds overfilled. I'd drain some of the juice from the tank. It should clear up. Please do post a pic; I don't have this tank, but I'm sure someone else does. It might not be assembled properly & that could be letting too much juice into the...

    Blimey! that burnt a lot!

    Might have been over-filled, too. Definitely change that coil. If it happens again, you might be getting too much juice in it.

    My introduction and story

    Good to have you, and good to hear you've quit. All of the above is great advice. I'll tell you, I've been vaping for 5 years, 4 of them exclusively on mechanicals, and I'm wary of the hybrid top cap. Be extra super special careful. And getcha one of these lil' things right here: $5.86...

    "Vaping 24 mg is just as bad as smoking"

    She sounds less like a non-smoker and more like an anti-smoker... one of the zealots who are on a crusade. Does she start in with the fake coughing when she sees "smoke" (but not when you're stealthing)?

    Allergy to propylene glycerol help!!

    It couldn't hurt to try it. It could also be the flavor, is it a new flavor for you? What exactly is the new juice? Vegetable glycerin can be found at just about every Wal Mart; you could try cutting your juice with it (it'll cut the flavor and nic too, of course)... or just vaping some plain...

    burning taste

    I would have said a scorched wick, but if there's no wick... What kind of atomizer are you using? Got pic of your rig?

    good to have you here. What are you vaping on?

    coil change

    RDA coils can last... well, I don't know. I've never actually burned one out. I re-wick mine every few days, and clean them by dry firing. The longest I've gone was almost 4 weeks on a dual coil rig, but they were still going strong. I just wanted to try a different resistance.

    Juice ordered! Please advice

    My experience is that 'clear' juices are good to go the second you shake up the mix. Fruit flavors, light stuff. The 'dark' flavors, like coffee or tobacco or heavier ones, seem to need some steeping. I've been DIY'ing my juice for almost as long as I've been vaping; one of my faves I call...

    Juice ordered! Please advice

    Watermelon is my absolute favorite... with a bit of menthol. Weird, I know, but it makes it "frosty". I didn't even smoke menthols when I smoked; I hated the things. But lightly mentholated watermelon is the bomb, man. If you've ever thought of DIY'ing your juice (I highly recommend doing...

    Welcome! This is a great place to be.

    Fluctuating resistance

    With that fine of a wire gauge, this is probably it. I've been able to correct this at times by leaving some extra lead on the coils, and wrapping them up the post. Once you've got the leg of the coil through the post hole, run it up the post & wrap it around the screw itself... tighten the...
