    Health concerns regarding ecigs? I need clarification, BIG thanks to all for any help.

    I do not know how you get 470 degrees, because a paper we are discussing shows that emissions start at 415 F.

    Health concerns regarding ecigs? I need clarification, BIG thanks to all for any help.

    May be it will be not very much noticeable. It will be about the same amount a smoker gets, and smoker has no bad feelings about it.

    Should I use my stashed devices with built in batteries?

    You need to check and charge them as needed. If you want to, of course.

    A Couple of Questions on Using Nicotine

    CO2 is also heavier than air, the same thing as with argon. I do not see any use out of it (tiny amount of oxygen in almost full bottle is negligible). But for fun and for peace of mind - why not?

    Better Batteries?

    Let's wait a bit. A year, or two, or ten. Then we'll see. News like this one are abundant, battery improvement is a rare thing. Lab experiment and practical implementation are two quite different animals.

    Broke my charger, can I use a spare

    Nope. Adapter will not be overloaded. It will charge slower. Note: I hope we are talking about more or less recent devices, not about 10 years old computers.

    An alternative cotton

    I tried (and still have supply of all of them) organic cotton balls from pharmacy, KGD, muji and Cotton Bacon V2. Used them all for a while, but now I am back to cotton balls. No difference in wicking properties.

    How much eliquid is normal?

    10 W, 1.3 ohm. Trying to keep myself at 10 ml/day. Sometimes it's difficult, but I do not wish to go higher. 50/50 juice (high VG makes me cough).

    Should I use my stashed devices with built in batteries?

    There are a lot of questionable wisdom on batteries around the Net. So, just some common sense. My iStick 30 is 2 years old, used daily (10-14 W), charged at least every other day. Do not think it lost a lot of capacity, at least I do not see it. My Kindle is 6 years old, still going strong. Of...

    Looking for RTA that vapes kinda like Nautilus

    I am MTL-restricted DL vaper. I feel Kayfun 3 is too tight for me. Kayfun 5 is what I mostly use. And so easy to rebuild...

    Looking for RTA that vapes kinda like Nautilus

    Everything that is not patented will be duplicated. You can do nothing with this. The companies like SvoeMesto decided to go with "artisans" business model, i.e. small series, very high prices. It's their decision. It's my decision do not support such model. You should be grateful people do buy...

    Broke my charger, can I use a spare

    Not really. And I never use this "rest" thing.

    Nicotine Comparisons

    @dansus: good luck to you. I admire people who tests new things (such as potatoes, vaccines, chemically improved nicotine and such) on themselves. Great service to the rest of us, unadventurous consumers.

    Broke my charger, can I use a spare

    As I understand this thing, for decently made things amperage of a wall adapter does not matter (in terms of safety, not in terms of a speed of charging). Wall adapter should not "push" extra amount of ampers, charged device should not "pull" more amperes than adapter is ready to supply. If you...

    Broke my charger, can I use a spare

    The "rest" thing often is greatly overestimated. It is not really needed. Only tiny prolongation of battery life can be achieved, but at a price of great inconvenience.

    Looking for RTA that vapes kinda like Nautilus

    I can afford authentics, but I never buy them, unless they are Chinese authentics. What for? I have 2 K5 clones ($25 and $16), they work great. Do not see any incentive to buy the same thing for 5-10 times more.

    Flooded coil/wick gives better taste

    You may want to add a 2-3 drops of water per 10 ml of juice. Juice flow will be improved. And try higher PG juice (why high VG juice for Kayfun? I use 50/50)

    EW Anyone else who can't stand fruit flavors ?

    I like fruits, but I vape at 1% or less. I hate custard even at 1% But mostly I like drinks: bourbon, absinthe, even root beer.
