    My Atty Resurrection Method

    I can't get the ugly burnt taste to go away. After dry burn, I've tried soaking in hot water, in alcohol and in mouth wash. None of them gets rid of the burnt flavor. Please, what am I missing? Also, during dry burn, should the smoke stop at some point? For me, it eventually diminishes but...

    Flavoring for DIY ejuice 6ml $1 | 43 flavors at healthcabin.net

    Likely, the residue from the coloring or from the oils that create the color builds up on the mesh and coil keeping them from transfering liquid as rapidly as is necessary for a good vape. Further, many experienced Western vapers prefer their liquids to be VG based or to at least contain a...

    Flavoring for DIY ejuice 6ml $1 | 43 flavors at healthcabin.net

    Thank you. Caramel butter makes much more sense and sounds quite delicious. You really should change the name. In the West,it will make a big difference in sales. I don't think anyone makes a clear or light chocolate. I wish someone would convince me that dark liquids aren't atomizer killers.

    Beta Carboline MAOIs - towards a more effective e-liquid

    I grow the vine and use the fruit. It makes exceptional margaritas and baked goods. I never thought much about the flowers. From the taste of the fruit, I would expect it to be somewhat acidic. Does it add a citrus like taste to the liquid?

    Attys don't fit...

    Maybe its just me, and this has only been with 801s, but when I've used Noalox on atomizer threads, within a few days I get a bitter taste. This leads me to suspect that the Noalox is migrating into the atomizer when a little juice leaks out to the connection. I don't know if there is anything...

    Flavoring for DIY ejuice 6ml $1 | 43 flavors at healthcabin.net

    Will you please describe "caramel tallow"? I think there's a translation problem. In the US and UK, we think of tallow as the remaining fat of a dead animal that is used to make soap and candles. I would be surprised if this was what you intend this flavor to taste like. I've gotten used to...

    Ya know, they warned me...

    There's a very high quality passthrough from VaprLife: THE VP-PT (USB PASS THRU). It's built like a $100 soldering iron and even comes with a cool looking stand. However, it ain't cheap. You don't always get what you pay for, but you always pay for what you get;)

    New Precise 18650 and 16340 Models!

    Shawn, You're thinking of aluminum. The P16 and 18 are stainless steel. The upkeep is zero to minimal. You can't anodize SS but you should be able to powder coat the outside of the tube if you really want. Google powder coat and the name of your nearest major city or look for paint shops in...

    must-have accessories for the Precise?

    must-have accessories? Well.... nothing goes with stainless steel as well as more stainless steel: When I had mine, it was the only possession I ever had that started as many conversations with strangers as my e-cig now does.

    For Sale: Non Super T Mods

    David, When a Porsche dealer takes a Chevy in on trade, he sells it to a GM dealer or an unaffiliated used car lot where potential used Chevy buyers are more likely to look. You've cultivated a web community of discerning vapers who are interested in your designs rather than in these...

    Help with Ethyl Maltol Solution

    I think that by now we all know that the key flavoring ingredient in "Ecopure Rich" is EM and that there is a trace of one or more common sweets, possibly vanilla or butterscotch as well. While I've mixed variants of this that I'm pretty happy with, I've never gotten it spot on. Does anyone...

    DIY Supplier Flavorings Spreadsheet

    Very nice! Thank you! For completion sake, you might want to add Decadent Vapours, currently sold by TW, the Seedman's flavorings that work for nic juice and possibly have a listing for ethyl maltol, available from PA. Yes, I should do it. No, you don't want to trust me with your...

    A Side-By-Side Comparison of e-cigs and Mods

    Thank you again. From my non-vaping wife: "WOW!!! Look so much like cosmetics, but then you look closer and go THOSE aren't lipsticks and eyeshadows!" Clutter aside, she does appreciate that I now smell like a bakery rather than an ashtray.

    MFS Attys... SLB or ??

    Was this a typo? Did you mean "510 attys are Joye..."? I'd like to know what I bought. I'm normally a BE112 user but recently bought a PV which has 510 as its native connector so I bought some to try at your recent sale. I won't throw out my 112s but wow! These have a very cigarette like...

    A Side-By-Side Comparison of e-cigs and Mods

    Just stumbled on this thread from a search. Thank you! Thank you! Your photos will make my wife realize that my collection is small and and that my PVs and juice lab having taken over the powder room is a small concession.

    HelloTech 016's (like eGo but 1200mah batt)

    Is that after a full charge? Its been a year since I used stock batteries thus I don't really know them. However, in general, single Lithium Ion batteries have a nominal charge of 3.7V and fully charged measure 4.2V. If 3.94 is fully charged, at what voltage would you recharge them? I ask this...

    My Atty Resurrection Method

    Since the idea here is to loosen and dissolve the solids impacted on the atomizer coil with a liquid soak, to then burn off whatever is left and to finally dissolve these remnants with another soak, what if we place the atomizers in a ceramic container filled with water or possibly PG and...

    The Bulli-Smoker is now is the USA

    I've had a Slim for about a year. They have a very high degree of fit and finish. If one wants a high end PV with a tactile switch, these are probably the best out there. Some, possibly all, include their own battery protection too.

    New Precise 18650 and 16340 Models!

    I gather they are safe from the possibility of fire but I'm wondering if they are safe from rapid out-gassing. I bring this up because the designer choose to add vents in the button top (please see picture below). The big question then becomes: are they safe to use in PVs having no venting of...

    Ripped Off!

    As Americans, we may be high maintenance but we have a cultural proclivity for forgiveness and a strong belief in redemption. Example: the way we've treated Germany, Japan and Viet Nam.
