    Mech, hybrid, or regulated???

    I'm into mechanicals mostly because when I first got interested in mods, that's about all there was. Plus I can drop my Galileo and be reasonably sure it'll work when I pick it up.

    Chest Pains !!!! not good at all

    I got the same kind of thing a long time ago. It should pass. You might want to cut the nicotine down, or try a different base liquid. I started with PG, and can't stand it now... so the experience changes over time. Since you mention NHS, I'm guessing you're in the UK? Here in the states...

    Hi from a new Vaper

    Welcome! Trust me, once you find your 'happy place', your costs will go down. Most of us spent WAY more than we needed to at first. I started mixing my own juice about 3 months after I switched, and I haven't looked back; I think I might be spending $30 a month (total) on vaping now. Of...

    Received diy flavoring with package date 2 years old. Still good?

    I started DIY'ing my juice about 6 months after I switched... so that was 4 1/2 years ago. I say try 'em. I just mixed up some flavors the other day that I know for a fact are at LEAST two years old, because that's how long they've been sitting in my kit, and they taste and vape just fine. If...

    New Guy, haven't started yet, but i have high hopes

    Why wait? You know, this isn't AA. If you start vaping, and then have a real cig, we're not going to make you turn in your chip and start over, man. Every time you use an ecig, it's one less cigarette smoked, so it's all good. Quite literally, ANY ecig use is a win for you. Many people...

    Hello World!

    My first cigalike was overpriced, underpowered, and tasted the way my cat's box smells... but it proved to me that these things work. Within a week and a half, I'd moved up to Joye 510's, and eGo's a month later... 3 months after that I was on mechanical mods & building my own. Anyway, I got...

    Hello World!

    It'll work. Just remember, this isn't like AA where you have to turn in your chip and start over if you break down & have a real one. My best advice is don't try too hard; just enjoy your new toy :) If you have an analog or two, don't beat yourself up; concentrate on all the ones you didn't...

    The difference between wire gauges?

    For getting a really good idea of 'heat flux' and how it relates to different gauges of wire, try playing around with this: Coil wrapping | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators Set it up for a certain resistance, dual or single, etc... then just change the wire gauge (on the left), and...

    Next Mech Mod

    What did you have to do to the switch? I just looked at this & might get me one :)

    Next Mech Mod

    I've also used this stuff. Cheap & easily obtainable. Intended for the battery connections on your car :) Permatex/Dielectric tune-up grease 22058 at AutoZone.com Note: Don't put ANY of this kind of stuff anywhere near your atty connection. That could be very bad.

    Next Mech Mod

    I've had a few mechanicals. i can't really give you any advice on what to get, though. What I can tell you is that I've improved performance in the conductivity department on some telescoping mods (with several threading connections, they have issues sometimes) by putting a tiny dab of silver...

    coils

    If you're making a "clapton coil", I imagine silver would be absolutely ideal for the outer wrap. Silver is not only the most conductive element electrically, it's also the most conductive thermally.

    The State Of E-Juice

    I guess that depends on your definition of 'fine'. Potency starts dropping off after the two year mark. You can still vape it, of course, you'll just have to keep upping the percentage of the nicotine base in the final mix. I'm not sure what PG and VG break down into naturally over time, but...

    The State Of E-Juice

    I hate to point this out, but nicotine (once it's mixed with a base liquid) only has a shelf-life of about 2 years. You can extend that somewhat by freezing it, but not indefinitely. The base liquids themselves break down as well. We can stockpile nicotine in advance of the inevitable...

    Help

    That depends on where you are. Laws vary significantly from one country to the next. You can check out online suppliers under the "Forum Suppliers" tab at the top of the forum, or look for an actual brick-and-mortar store under the "Store Locator" tab. Where are you?

    How to I stop the "popping" thing from happening

    "Attypops" are nothing to worry about... I actually like them. They tell me the thing is working right, lol! If the spitting is a problem (even with the mesh protector installed), you can always look into a longer drip tip, or maybe heat insulator... just some kind of adapter to increase the...

    The State Of E-Juice

    Couple this with the original concern about liquid quality, and you have the Mother of All Arguments for learning how to DIY absolutely everything. This is one of the big reasons I got into pure mechanical mods and DIY juice. You can buy PG at Tractor Supply and VG at Wal-Mart. A mechanical...

    Welcome aboard. What are you vaping on?

    Translation needed

    What would be the German term for "Stalking the Mailman"? :) BTW, on behalf of the rest of the world, I'd like to thank Germany for the indispensable term, "Backpfeifengesicht". There are some truly lovey, incredibly useful words that only appear in German. Vielen Dank.

    ...and make sure your air intakes are lined up both the coils ;)
