    Help with Vanilla??--The Holy Grail Has Finally been Found with HappyVaper

    Methyl vanillin is the same thing as vanillin, it's just a little more descriptive for naming the substance. Toxicology on ethy vanillin is similar to vanillin: 108. Ethyl vanillin (FAO Nutrition Meetings Report Series 44a) I started a thread in health concerns for this discussion...

    A little different question... Tobacco Mosaic Virus

    From what I was reading, CO2 extraction destroys bacteria but may not affect viral pathogens depending on the exact process used. CO2 extraction to specifically destroy viruses would use considerably higher pressures than the normal extraction process. Other than this non-specific information I...

    Laser diode array

    I beg, anyone who is wanting to do any sort of work with lasers to get proper eye protection, and to carefully consider how you might test. Even though you may see little or no light your retinas may be frying, even if the beam is reflected or diffused from a surface. These are class four lasers...

    A little different question... Tobacco Mosaic Virus

    The content of viruses and other microbes in your nic-juice would depend upon the process used to extract the nicotine from the tobacco. I'm reading the "supercritical CO2" extraction process most of the nicotine producers use is a sterile process, however it probably wouldn't hurt to continue...

    Vanilla, Vanillin - Safe or Not?

    I've read though the post "Help with Vanilla?" and several other DIY liquid posts concerning the use of vanillin in e-liquid. I've searched for a thread directly concerning vanillin and haven't found one exclusively pertaining to this subject. I thought it would be good to start a thread...

    Laser diode array

    The absorption rate through glass of the "near infrared" light we are looking into using should be low enough that optical type glass should be functional. This is good news, special types of (expensive) crystal may not have to be purchased to make this possible. I have to retract my statement...

    Laser diode array

    Oh, this will definitely be a problem. Hopefully this will vape off if the laser is strong enough. Better for droplets to build up on a lens or a "window" than to build up on the front of the diode IMHO.

    Laser diode array

    Marlbuzz, I understand the concept of power density, much like using a magnifying glass to focus the suns light. Unfortunately not all lasers have low divergence, that is the beam will spread out. Most of the IR laser diodes I have seen on eBay look like they have high divergence, probably for...

    metal mesh

    How about an alternative, anyone thought about stainless steel wool? Is there such a thing as "food grade" stainless steel? Stainless steel wool is mainly used in re-packing exhaust "glass packs" so its probably not going to be very pure...

    Laser diode array

    Using the formula: Power = E2 / R (Voltage squared divided by Resistance equals Watts). So a 510 atomizer from what people are saying the resistance should be will consume 3.9 watts = (3.7 volts)2 / 3 ohms However I just tested my atty at 1.7 ohms resistance, so my atty is consuming 8 watts of...

    Laser diode array

    I'm not seeing it there, the lowest I have seen with the same specs are $20 + $10 shipping. That's not really that much to blow considering it "could" be a viable solution to the atty burning out issue. I wonder what the lifetime of those are, and how durable they would be to getting dropped...

    Replacement for nichrome coil...

    OK, I'm a little confused after reading the bulk of this thread. Are these actual ceramic heating elements or ceramic encased nicrome heating elements? From the figures concerning the resistance change it could be assumed that this is actual ceramic type heating, however the product of gaining...

    Ceramic heating?

    Having been vaping two weeks and blowing out my first atty on Friday, I'm a little taken aback at how often the attys are going to have to be replaced. I think it should be possible to improve upon the current e cigarette designs considerably, and there are a lot of great ideas here and I don't...

    temperature conducting glass

    If the max temperature limitation is 176.7ºC for the product, it wouldn't get hot enough to vaporize PG let alone VG. I sure it could be engineered to get hotter though. I wonder what they are coating it with? I imagine a clear atty would make people think of crack pipes. :mad:

    Laser diode array

    I actually put a bit more thought into this. I'm afraid that the power consumption needed to turn electricity to laser energy and than back into heat energy, even if the laser was infrared, would be extraordinarily high. I'm afraid the power consumption with current technology wouldn't warrant...

    Laser diode array

    Oh yes, everything is better with a "laser." I just about cracked up thinking about Dr. Evil with a laser powered vaporizer. I think this would be outside the cost that most everyone would be willing to spend, but it's an interesting concept. This has got me thinking though, I have a short...

    How can i try a lot of flavors at minimal cost?

    There is also the "Johnson Creek Sample Pack v2". Ten flavors for under $25 plus shipping. I've read and seen some bad reviews of JC juice but I have found the flavors acceptable, complex, and mild. Something I like to vape all day. I didn't realy like thier stuff at first but I think it has...

    Hello, Glad I found this place

    :lol: I was just thinking the same thing, "Be sure to hang you dongle!" In case anyone is wondering a dongle refers to a hardware key to a piece of software. They normaly look like a USB flash drive. I've called flash drives dongles before just because I think it's a funny word... Welcome to...

    Burnt filler taste

    It seems the manufacturers ship the attys with a "primer" fluid in them. I've noticed that this stuff tastes bad and it probably contains machine oil or something.... You might try blowing out your new attys before using. Also, it could be that the atty is dry. Try dripping a couple of drops...

    Nosebleeds anyone ?

    I've been vaping a week now and have started getting blood in my nasal mucous as well. I would get this as well from smoking if I french inhaled regularly. Pluss the air is so dry this time of year... Bloody mucus might give an opportunity for bacteria to grow. I'm not going to worry about it...
