    Questions...batteries, atomizers and more, oh my! :)

    I'm no math or electronics whiz, so I'm posting a few ECF forum links to start you off finding the answer. The only thing I can see is something about the polarity of the device and whether it's "reversed" or not...

    Questions...batteries, atomizers and more, oh my! :)

    Glad to have some info about Dual Coils. Wouldn't want to ruin my batteries. I'm actually looking for 2.8-3.0 ohm atties so that my batteries don't run down so fast. Thanks for the info, as I said to Dormouse time and expense permitting I'll try things. Right now I'm trying to optimize my...

    Questions...batteries, atomizers and more, oh my! :)

    I have some Royal Smokers, not sure if they qualify as cartomizers, but I neglected to get a decent syringe when purchasing them and had to wait to get one. I plan on using them to try them out. Good to know, thanks :) I don't use the Ego or slim, but others may and find this useful, thanks...

    3 months of ecigs... coming to an end

    My fear is that new folks will find this thread and freak out at the talk of cost. It can be done relatively inexpensively. Relative to what? The cost of cigarettes, of course. ;-D I'm not a poster child for inexpensive, however, I am not a high-roller either. Here's my experience thus far...

    Questions...batteries, atomizers and more, oh my! :)

    Okay, so here I am with 1 bad battery, (I managed to get the other one on the charger after reading about the movable contact point on the battery - who knew?) But, I'm starting to think replacement parts and, well I need to get a clear idea about certain things. I bought the 510 RiVa Starter...

    Never smoked, considering starting Ecigs

    Naw, I know that some folks find it difficult to quit sugar. My husband is one of them. Even after losing all his teeth, having his jaw rebuilt and getting implant dentures he still has a sugar jones that's crazy. Too bad (or lucky him) that he doesn't gain very much weight no matter how much...

    Never smoked, considering starting Ecigs

    Agreed, the OP can do what they want. They're of legal age. Would I have wanted someone to step up and come on strong to me about not smoking back when? Yes. OP asked, we answered honestly what we thought. No need to demonize us.

    Never smoked, considering starting Ecigs

    omg, I love that Bookcase House.:wub: I get it on the inconvenience books can be. I routinely give books to family and the local library to make room for the new. I haunt the B&N 40-60% off racks online. :tongue: Love buying 50 books for about $100. Do this about once a year. I get to read...

    Never smoked, considering starting Ecigs

    Hellfire, no. Never was a fan of hellfire....:tongue: One thing I wish I could have all of the money I've ever spent on nicotine for? Books. I get the best "buzz" reading a damn good sci-fi or fantasy book. Shoot, if I had half that money I'd get built in shelves and start my own...

    Riva batteries and chargers all died at the same time!

    I would be interested as well since two of my batteries that are less than two months old appear to have died. These batteries were being swapped with another set that I ordered May 5th. I'm a little concerned about this as I figured I'd get 3-5 months out of the batteries, not 6-7 weeks.

I've only ever had one 5 Hour Energy and...

    Want a specific banner, lost as to how to get it...

    I've been trying to figure out how to get a specific banner, this one; But when I click one I see, or right-click to open link in new tab, I get to this page; E-Cig Wiki and cannot find how to make the banner. Even registered there, still no joy. Really like this one, anyone know what's up...

    New person Intro

    Well, I think I'm settled with the Riva for now, after buying another kit I'm pretty well set on battery life. Possibly going to try out Stormy's Tanks, intrigued by the possibilities there. Bought a set of RoyalSmokers and don't like the idea of syringe filling at all, rather go with a...

    New person Intro

    Well, I've been vaping for a little over two months now and I did find out that I'm someone who is sensitive to PG. Unfortunately I wake up with every joint in my body aching after vaping PG and that's happened on two separate occasions a week apart. So it's all VG for me. Nonetheless, it's a...

    Greetings. I have spent a few hours browsing through the forum figured I would register. Day one vaping and super depressed/spacy (long)

    Wow, that's the first time I've heard it described in a way I agree with - evened out. I can relate. Hubby quit "cold-turkey" and just didn't "get it" that I couldn't. I was getting quite tired of the ash "dirt" that seemed to be everywhere, even though I smoked outside. Been there, done...

    Confused Old Lady - 50 Yrs Marlboro Reds - Grateful for Any Help, Advice, Recommendations

    Wow, Just got to the end here on page 37. At the risk of sounding like a broken record I can only repeat what many others have said. -lol- you're amazing. :hubba: Excellent writer with that twist of uplifting humor. I've run the gamut of emotion since I started reading an hour ago...

    NooB in a panic - I need to make a purchase decision QUICK!

    Coming in at the end here, but when it comes to nic strength, imho it all depends on the individual. After smoking for 33 years, even with ramping down to lights and using an extra filter to smoke (Nicout) I thought that 16 mg in the sample kit I ordered would be tolerable for me. Turns out it...
