    Trying again, again

    Hi Ewieya! It's always good to hear when someone makes a stand to vape their way away from cigarettes. Like others here have said, I'd recommend starting with a fairly high nicotine level. I came off of a 1.5 pack-per-day menthol habit with 24mg of nicotine per mL of e-liquid, and it worked...

    what does your username mean?

    The "C" is the first letter of my first name. The "K" is the first letter of my middle name. The "Calmer" is the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth letters of my last name. :D

    What is the nastiest...

    I just threw up a little in my mouth. :blink: The worst I've tried is one that wasn't all that bad to me at first. I'd rather not name company names, as I really don't want to put them down in any way. I'm the one who ordered it. I'm the only one to blame. What I will say is that it's a...

    How old are you and how long did you smoke

    Age: 46 Gender: Male Smoked for 30 years ... from the ages of 16 to 46. Just quit in late January of this year. Thank you ECF and Halo! And to "throw in my sex" - as in my first sex? OK - I was 17, she was 18. Very good looking, great body, killer smile, witty, confident, charming ..... and...

    Woooohoooo! Evod starter kits have arrived!!!

    Welcome valan_lazarus, and congrats on your venture into vaping! Words of wisdom. In fact, I think I'll heed them myself, having just started out two months ago and all. Thanks Free! Blu e-cigs are gateway vapes. (Just as they were for me.) :)

    Please Help, Is my wattage too high?

    Ah ... thank you for explaining that. :) I have another (possibly silly) question: If he is getting a burnt flavor at 0.96Ω, but 1.31Ω vapes very well, then why not just use the 1.31Ω coil? I mean, as you (K_Tech) wrote, there are so many variables with the OP's mechanical that there isn't...

    Aspire Nautilus

    Cool - thanks! I was hoping they were, as I love the features/design of the Nautilus, not to mention having read the opinions of so many Nautilus owners saying it's great. I'll also want to start building my own coils soon after I get one so I can save some money buying wire and wick material...

    Please Help, Is my wattage too high?

    Putting 4.2v into a 0.96Ω coil, he's running at almost 4.4amps. Is it safe at that current? And could that be why the flavor's tasting burnt? I had always heard that anything over 2.0-2.5 amps is too much. Then again, I'm still learning this stuff, so tell me if I'm way off. I wouldn't be...

    Aspire Nautilus

    I thought you could rebuild the coils in the Nautilus. I guess I was wrong, eh? (I can't remember what made me think that. I probably just misread it somewhere.)

    i know this has been asked.. burnt tasting, brand new cartridges

    How many drops of e-juice did you put into each carto? If it's not enough (i.e., less than 5 or 6 drops), then there may not be enough juice to vaporize, so the remainder of the heat generated by the coil inside the carto ends up charring the poly-fill, which is the catalyst inside the...

    Hello hello

    Cool - I had just decided on going with 2 x 18350 batts this afternoon. :) Flexibility = Good And yeah, I've read several reports that the chrome is more delicate than the stainless. Durability is important, so I think I'll be going the SS route. All that's left to decide is which brand of...

    Hello hello

    Hi Adam. Welcome to ECF, and congratulations on putting down the analogs in favor of your APV. :) The Vamo V5 is my current dream mod. I'm planning on getting one the week after next. I can hardly wait!! I can't quite decide, though, between stainless steel and chrome. Does anyone know...

    What are you vaping on...RIGHT NOW!

    "If in doubt, keep vaping!" ^ A good mantra to live by. ;)

    Hey from PA!

    Welcome DrHermie. I'm still using a Halo Triton (eGo-style), but I'm aspiring to get a Vamo, Provari, and some Nautilus tanks soon, and eventually start building coils. Sounds like you went right to the pinnacle with the Provari. Happy vaping! ("DrHermie", and "I'm good with my hands" - are...

    Question about batteries

    If you're a medium-to-heavy vaper, then you should get an extra battery. A second 18350 would give you a total of 1600mAh, well over twice the capacity of the 650, and therefore should last you all day. And welcome to ECF! :) P.S. -- I'm jealous. I want a Vamo V5 really badly. It'll be a...

    Just stepping in to introduce myself

    Hi fraychek, and welcome to ECF. :) That's really great that you kicked the smoking habit upon your first vape. I might try out that Mister E-liquid's Lemon Ice (but, like Simply Red pointed out, only after I'm able to use my glass tank). It sounds like a really good flavor. I've just...

    Howdy from South East Texas

    Welcome, Lojala. Everyone in this thread is right - ECF is a phenomenal source of information on vaping, and almost every member is very kind and helpful, especially to new members. This is my favorite "branch" of ECF so far. I occasionally visit the Halo suppliers forum and the General...

    Greetings from MD

    Hi Tim, and welcome! I agree with Dripdaze's advice. Being able to "taste before you buy" would be a great way to minimize the loss of money on flavors you end up not liking. I'm not currently able to get to any local vape shops, so I have to subsist with online ordering only. What I did was...

    Thinking of trying Mt Baker Vapor E juice

    Hmmm - I love sweet tea. I'm from Georgia, so it's law here that you have to like sweet iced tea. ;) (J/K) Maybe I'll order some the next time I shop MBV. Thanks for the recommendation!
