    are the manufactuers using sub par parts?

    None of my Chinese mods had failure. So? And I rather will believe in China with its modern equipment than to Ukraine with its dilapidated lathes from Soviet times.

    are the manufactuers using sub par parts?

    From Ukraine? Are you sure it's better than from China? Once I dropped my $20 mod with $18 clone tank on cement stairway and it went, bouncing, all the way down. Nothing was damaged, even glass. Should I preach that for survival nothing that is more than $20 should be used? EDIT: By the way...

    New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

    Exactly. 10% DW, 50% PG, or 8% Turkey 101. Will decrease boiling point dramatically.

    New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

    I like your setups because utilizing rather simple accessible means you are getting meaningful results. Reminds me stories about R. Wood. He built the best for his time spectrograph on a base of a sewer pipe (just in case somebody wondering - not used one). For it's cleaning he employed his cat.

    New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

    It is clear to you (and to me). It is not clear to a lot of others. Ask FDA or government of Singapore Have you read my short post? Oliver, Mike - yes. Godshall - no. It's up to me. Is'n it?

    New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

    I have to admit I was wrong. I am a bit too late to this thread, and when I back a few pages I could not find about you setup. Whether you are using cigarette (puffing) machine, what you use to analyze vapor... But even without this info your results are really interesting. Thank you.

    New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

    We have pro-vaping and anti-vaping research; we cannot rely on any. Now we have manufacturer research; I never take one seriously. Nobody is going to make a research for vapers, to address their concerns. Who will fund it? Nobody will, at least till vaping became a respectable (for society) thing.

    are the manufactuers using sub par parts?

    I use exclusively cheap Chinese mods (because of my hobby - cheap vaping). No mod ever had failed. The oldest mod in rotation is a Chinese clone of Chinese iStick 30 (almost 3 years old, $24). Still running strong.

    are the manufactuers using sub par parts?

    For vaping I use nothing CE is not a certification, it is just sign that a manufacturer declare its voluntary compliance with CE requirements. All of my cheap Chinese mods in rotation have CE engraved on them.

    Is there a difference in pg/ vg quality?

    It should be written on label - "USP". Try to find it. If not... Some vendors put "food grade" and "USP" grade on a label simultaneously, like here...

    Just a few drops of Ever Clear

    Right now (and quite often) I vape "bourbon" juice. 8% of Turkey 101, 4% water (or 10% PG), the rest VG and nicotine. No flavor added. Ethanol is a quite strong thinner of VG. It feels better than heavier VG juice. Total amount of alcohol in a juice is 4%, like a weak beer. Vaiping of 7 ml of...

    Overall Quantity of Nicotine Vaped Daily - A Lot?

    According to different sources that I saw absorption rate of nicotine from vapor is about 50%-90%. I like 50% better. Then your nicotine consumption is equal to not 45, but 22.5 cigarettes. I believe quite a few vapers need more nicotine when vaping compared to time when they were smokers...

    Nic seperation

    It is a solution, not suspension, of nic in VG. Solutions does not separate (example: ethanol and water in vodka). But shake well your bottle upon arrival - may be mixing (by a seller) was not really good, and VG is very viscous to finish mixing on the road to your house. I do not feel is is...

    Suggestions for a "best flavor" single coil tank? (I think?)

    Let me ask a question too. OBS Engine nano is getting a lot of votes, so I am thinking... But it is listed as 25 mm mod. I have nothing bigger than 23 mm. How this mod will fit a single battery mod? Will it be much wider?

    VV Berserker vs. SM Kayfun Prime

    Kayfun is expensive? China already is making clones. Today most clones have about the same quality as an original. Just wait for reviews and choose the one that looks better. FastTech - Gadgets and Electronics

    Is there a difference in pg/ vg quality?

    I am not so sure. USP is not the highest grade of purity, it is of sufficient purity for pharma applications. In my (not blind) testing USP alcohol was worse than cheap vodka. But I tasted two or three VG from different suppliers, and there were no difference for me. Some controversy here...
