    I think finding this site is going to save my life!!!

    Welcome and good luck! I don't care what anybody says, an Ego with an Evod (get some backups!) is a great way to start!

    Trying not to loose interest

    Also, on the cheap and not susceptible to cracking are the Texas Tuff Tanks. Great and inexpensive way to get your feet wet with carto tanks. I know everybody is loving the Phiniac and IBTanked stuff but these are awesome little rigs. Don't know for sure, but these may be the ones Ray from...

    What did ya start with? And what was your first mod?

    I started on a Joye 510 kit, quickly moved to Ego and, for my birthday this year, I will be building my own DNA mod. Ain't life grand?

    Thank you all for the wealth of information!

    Thanks for the warm wishes, folks, it means a lot. Seriously, this is wicked cool and, in my mind, even more important than rebuilding. "How do you know what's in that stuff?" (I hear that a lot, you know the anti-freeze drill)... "Because I make it myself." Oh, yeah :) Anyway, off to buy...

    Thank you all for the wealth of information!

    Thanks to you folks I am now DIY and it is so sweet I can't begin to describe. What a wealth of information we have here! Between this site and a few YouTube videos, I am now master of my domain with regard to juice. I'm still taking baby steps and mixing 10 ml batches but none of them have...

    If Nicotine is banned...

    If that ever happens, then I will extract the nicotine myself either from pipe tobacco or plants that I grow myself. For me, a little will go a long long way because I use an RDA mostly and the level of nicotine required is so minuscule at this point. I am actually far more concerned with the...

    Vap-o-wire 32awg kanthal wire with bad mettalic taste for awhile..... any suggestion

    I have and use this very brand and gauge of Kanthal A1 wire and do not experience this with mine (most probably from the exact same vendor). I torch then coil. Then I measure Ohms, position, do safety checks etc. Then I pulse 5-6 times and then wick and juice it up. Perhaps you got a bad...

    Success!!!

    Whoa, easy does it on that TFA Sweet Tart! I just busted my DIY cherry on 10 ml of: 6mg Nic 15% LorAnn Green Apple 5% TFA Sweet Tart 70% PG / 30% VG What I got was sweet tart (and lots of it) with a whisper of green apple :) Still tastes miles better than the stuff I'm used to sampling these...

    Trying a RDA for the first time...

    When I started dripping, I was at 18 mg (in transition to 12 mg actually) for my carto tanks, like you it was way over the top too much. I will be dripping at 6 mg after today now that my DIY supplies are here as 12 is still too much for me. If I were you, I'd start my test dripping at 12 mg...

    Success!!!

    Congrats! My first batch of supplies arrived this morning, I will be mixing soon :) BTW, I happen to have a bottle of TFA Sweet Tarts in this order also, did you mix it solo or with other flavors? If solo, how do you find the strength (generally weak, strong etc...) and what overall...

    Anybody know where I can get some DNA20 Boards

    How much are the boards when you get them from Evolv directly? I'm planning on building one for my BDay in April...

    Possible Kanthal/Nichrome allergy.

    Sulphur and rotten egg smell pretty much come to mind...

    Possible Kanthal/Nichrome allergy.

    Resistance wire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia You might poke around to see if anyone has experimented with coils using some of the other materials listed there. I am extremely sensitive to metal as in I get a rash from stainless steel watches, jewelry made from titanium, copper etc...

    Carto tank affect VTF?

    In my opinion, it's all in the carto itself. I've never had a tank interfere with VTF unless it just flat out wasn't wicking from the tank. These days, I'm much more into RDA/RBA *but* when I do reach for one of my carto tanks, it's a tank using an Ikenvape carto. Give them a try if you...

    Interesting take on disposable e-cigarettes

    Yes, the waste aspect of the e-cig/pv 'industry' has always bothered me. Now that I use RDA / RDB it bothers me, personally, a heck of a lot less yet that is such a minuscule percentage of the total of all vapors that it is probably negligible. I remember NJoy had a 'trade-in' program where...

    The Aztec by WarLion

    Steve did a good review on this mech. I want one. Can't figure out how to order one but I want it. I know, it was mentioned, there may not be a proper 'for sale' run. Looks nice and tight.

    Help!! Itaste vv3 not working.

    What resistance is it showing when you press both buttons on the bottom at once? If it says "NON" then it's not going to fire.
