    How to test flavor - what to buy

    Plus I like saving money. $25 per atty for .357 or $.25 per coil/wick setup on an RBA...can't beat it.

    How to test flavor - what to buy

    I drip 100% of the time -- though I may be buying a genesis RBA soon, so I wouldn't be able to say that anymore. But for quality I use RBAs exclusively. Flavor and vapor are miles above non RBAs, especially dripping RBAs IMO.

    How to test flavor - what to buy

    Too true, too true. Perhaps zzipy SHOULD get a .357 then, if for no other reason than to forsake cartomizers. Just my :2c:

    How to test flavor - what to buy

    Best atty on the planet? I don't know about that. And doesn't it stand to reason that if you want an accurate flavor check then you would want to use a quality atomizer? There's no doubt the .357 does better on flavor and vapor than plenty of crapomizers out there, but isn't that a better reason...

    What are you waiting for in the mail?

    Waiting for 400 superfine 25 micron mesh from the mesh company. Also waiting on a repaired Fatty v2 with terminal upgrades :D

    How often do you vape?

    I vape continuously when I am not paying attention to the fact. I do try to moderate myself, just personal preference really. Haven't craved an analogue in ages, but I still get nic cravings daily -- I try to maintain this just so I know I'm pacing myself, and tbh it's more satisfying when I...

    How to test flavor - what to buy

    Get a few regular dripping attys (i.e. hh357 like eagarcia mentioned, aero bridgeless, or generic cisco spec attys from avidvaper.com). They won't cost you much ($8-$25 depending on which model) and I would keep a few spares around. Also get some vinegar and baking soda to clean them between...

    Hobby vs. a means to an end

    When I started I was at 1/2 PAD too. I thought a few times that when I made the switch to ecigs I would reduce my nic down to 0, but not that I would quit smoking/vaping entirely. I loved the flavors and the sensory experience of vaping too much to give that up, and I still haven't gone to 0...

    How do I smoke Ecigs

    Why is it that when someone asks to try a puff of my ecig, they end up using it like a damn pipe or hookah? It's an electronic cigarette people. Even long-term smokers still inhale while taking their drag :facepalm:

    what if I don't like it...

    Steep, steep, steep. I have had some absolutely HORRENDOUS flavors turn into flavors that made me :drool:

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    If you haven't tried one then now's the time! RBA's are the way to go, no questions asked. Check out the RBA forum here: Rebuildable Atomizer Systems

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    themeshcompany.com - just referred there recently by MrKV, but there are plenty of online retailers that sell SS mesh. Traditionally, SS mesh is used for genesis style RBAs. I'm using a fatty v2 which is a dripping RBA. So not really for a standard clearomizer, unless it is rebuildable and you...

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    Exactly. Something worth spreading the info over.

    Literally about to give up vaping

    Unless you use this forum, which I believe the entire purpose thereof is to address the very concern you are issuing.

    Literally about to give up vaping

    This thread is interesting to read now that I'm several years into my vaping experience. I remember when I first started, and I had no idea what any of the technical lingo meant, and I felt that I would never find the solution that worked for me. I went back and forth between analogues and ecigs...

    Health Benefits??

    I mean both. I don't snore as loud or as often as I used to.

    Fatty rebuidable atty.

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    Well like I said - it's a damn shame that MOST vapers out there are using silica, because it's so common in the crapomizers that are sold everywhere. I'll be making a switch to SS mesh now that this has all been fleshed out for me. Even if I am inhaling only a little bit, that's still more than...

    Health Benefits??

    I only smoked for about 3 years as well, but when I switched the advantages were obvious: 1. LOADS more energy (it's like I was in a fog all day long and didn't even recognize it until I switched) 2. Reduced snoring 3. I can actually sleep through an entire night without waking up, and I feel...
