    Looking at getting a gallon of VG

    Yes, for me it's extreme. 2 canisters, gallon each, in my freezer? No way. For those who are looking for VG and PG. I just bought a gallon of each from Heartlands Vapes, added 100 ml of some high quality nicotine ($13, a bit expensive but I've never tried it) and had to pay $50.49, i.e. enough...

    Looking at getting a gallon of VG

    If just occurrence of leaching is important for you, may I remind you about, say, arsenic. Definitely poisonous element. Occurs about everywhere, but especially in ground water, rice and coffee. And radiation. It's also everywhere. Should we use lead wallpaper, throw away all granite...

    Looking at getting a gallon of VG

    VG is pretty poor solvent compared to water or ethanol.

    Looking at getting a gallon of VG

    Both VG and PG are preventives of bacterial growth. You will not see it in not diluted liquids. Our VG and PG are bacteria safe. By the way, 2% of ethanol will do next to nothing to bacteria. And why do you think ethanol is bad for lungs? Or at least worse than PG, VG or nicotine? From time to...

    Any liquid is a solvent.

    Looking at getting a gallon of VG

    Nothing conclusive about health effects in these studies. You can worry, I will not.

    Looking at getting a gallon of VG

    Once upon a time Dow Chemical tested their glycerin after 2-year storage. They found no changes and accepted 2 years "use by" date. They have no interest in checking it for longer times. From my experience, 4 years in opened 1 gallon plastic container does not have any effect on VG vaping...

    Nicotine Comparisons

    Thanks for the link. It's interesting that Nature started to publish e-cigarette research. While results of the paper are theoretically sound, I see no practical importance in it. We inhale vapor, we absorb droplets by our lungs. We do not dwell on observing them while they are...

    Appearance can be deceiving

    I (respectfully!) disagree. Simple explanation - you cannot define gain. It depends on person, on circumstances, on weather, on the wish of gods. And how, for example, to classify loosing of a finger? Is it dangerous situation? For vaping - my gain is a satisfaction of my nicotine hunger. If I...

    50/50 vs 70/30

    A bit of useless advice. I got rid (completely!) of leaking when I switched recently to rayon. The one from bottles with pills (I wash it). Now I am making thick wicks with huge tails, they leave no space for leaking. But I vape at 10 W, unflavored... Kayfun and Siren.

    Increasing ohm's on coils

    If Pedro Carvalho did not pay attention to "molecular structure", he is no material sciences expert. Sorry. There are some changes in austenitic SS after prolonged heating, like in grain size, . But it does not influence it's properties as a heating element. 316L is rated in heat resistance at...

    Appearance can be deceiving

    As an ex-hard-smoker I believe I do have a right to classify vaping as self pleasuring (not real smoking anyway). As for "dangerous" - it means not completely safe. Safer than car, more dangerous than stove. Hope this helps.

    Amazon will ship VG and PG with no problems.

    Nicotine intake calculation on vaping

    Nowadays it's the same as with calories uptake: less is better.

    Appearance can be deceiving

    Vaping is dangerous. Period. You may choose it as a safer method of nicotine delivery (as I do), but please, do not try to convince anybody it's a nice and safe method of self pleasuring.

    Increasing ohm's on coils

    Dry burning (as we do it) does not affect structure of coil materials (metals). It's just happens that temperature of dry burning is not high enough to get rid of all contamination. If our coils were made of platinum, we could heat them to very bright white temperature and remove everything and...

    Increasing ohm's on coils

    Dear Brewdawg1181, you have chosen the dumbest quote by Dr. Farsalinos. Too bad when guys who have no knowledge in metallurgy try to comment on metals. You Dr. Farsalinos even does not know that metal does not have any "molecular structure" (they are crystals). Dr. Farsalinos may have some...

    The Final Count Down -- Are You Ready?

    There are a lot of companies which will easily survive without vapers. For example The Flavor Apprentice (TFA): Perfumer's Apprentice Capella: https://www.capellaflavors.comb/ And many others. They are the main suppliers of flavors to vaping sites.

    If nothing else makes you consider quitting vaping, This probably should

    Dear bombastinator, I'd be delighted to share your optimistic point of view. Unfortunately things look different for me. I vape pure stuff, just three components - VG, PG, nicotine. Just 10W. And still my coils get gunked. It tells me some pyrolysis do occur; I have no idea whether/how it is...
