    Brand New to Vaping

    Track the symptoms. If they occur 30 minutes or so after vaping, it's too much nicotine. When I went thru this 6 years ago, my anxiety occurred after morning vaping and afternoon vaping which also corresponded to large caffeine intake. Had to cut back on both nicotine and caffeine.

    Caffiene + Nicotine =

    In my first month or two of vaping, I found that I had to restrict my caffeine and sugar intake. I read somewhere that when the liver stops processing all of the chemicals in cigarette smoke, it has more time to process caffeine and sugar. I'm not a doctor (did stay in a Holiday Inn last night)...

    Rewrapping batteries

    The first time I did a rewrap I was apprehensive. Got everything ready for a long process. It was all over in a few seconds. Amazing how easy it was.

    Best single coil deck

    I use the NarDa and the Speed Revolution for MTL.

    Can someone please help me find compatible atomizers for my 2 VaporFi devices?

    I hate it with these rebranded things that you can't find any real information on. The vice looks like a 510 connection...pretty much an ego-one style. Likely any 19mm tank would work. The pro II looks like an old Kanger evod.

    Wattage

    Different devices, different builds require different watts. Thicker wire, more coils will need higher wattage to heat up in the same amount of time as a thinner wire single coil. DL with more open air will usually desire more wattage than tighter MTL draws. And of course personal preference.

    Just signed up and a have a problem

    I remember my cartotank days. I never had much luck with the tanks with the fill screw. It was called the AGR cargo tank. I did a quick search and could not find them anywhere. I much preferred just a smoktech carto tank that you push the carto down a bit and fill.

    Thinner Wire

    I use 30ga because I prefer using lower watts to increase my battery usage time and because I like to vape like I smoked with a quick ramp up and short puff. My coils are simple open coils and higher ohms (1.5).

    Time to retire my MVP3/Protank. Recomendations?

    Today's tanks are mostly direct lung verses mouth-to-lung like the protank. I still use protanks on occasion because I prefer the draw and the simplicity. Perhaps a Zenith tank which I hear is specifically developed for mtl. I use older style kayfuns and nautilus types. My wife uses various...

    Juice shopping

    I diy unflavored as the closest to what I vaguely remember smoking to taste like. My wife uses Heathers Heavenly Vapes tobaccos (for the last 5 years). From experience years ago, Mt Baker is nice for a cheaper more simple flavor palate (they have more brands these days). EC Blends has more...

    Joyetech dolphin

    Penguin and dolphin vape differently. The dolphin is much better at mtl. Penquin not so much.

    The Image Thingy

    I started 6 years ago after a 40+ year heavy smoking habit. Way back then you could vape almost anywhere and that helped a lot of smokers switch to vaping. Unfortunately that didn't last which was a shame. Still I was always a discrete vaper. I remember when I switched from that cigalike to a...

    How to get more vapor in pens

    At least try a bottom coil evod type tank, or protank II mini. Use the cotton coils (socc).

    Hypothetical Parental Vape Ethics

    Smoking always has nicotine (and lots of other harmful stuff). Vaping can be nicotine free. So if it's peer pressure then vaping is obviously better and likely not addictive if nicotine free. My kids are grown and fortunately did not take up smoking, but, knowing what I know today, I could see...

    My eGo Secret...

    My all day tanks are T3s, ProTanks, and Evods (with an occasional Kayfun Lite). I use them on a variety of mods at 7 watts with ego adapters, and yes, I often pull out an old ego battery for quick errands or yards work. This type of vaping is dictated by my COPD. I have tried going really old...

    Two Anniversaries

    My wife tells me I say that every year and it's no longer authentic. I'll spend this year coming up with a new answer. My vape stuff never requires my sincerity.

    Two Anniversaries

    It's that time of year again. Vaping 6 years and married 43 years. I received my first starter kit 6 years ago, the day after my anniversary so I can remember both. Still haven't figured out the correct answer to the yearly question. "Does it seem like we have been married for 43 years?" I just...

    Refillable pod mod recommendations with replaceable coils

    I only have 2 of what would officially fall under the pod banner. The penquin and the dolphin. Of these, the dolphin is much much better especially for mtl vaping. However, I believe I get more use out of older AIO styles like the egrip and istick basic or just a simple evod. I also use a...

    Has vaping lost way?

    The big opportunity was lost when employers, hotels, restaurants, etc started banning vaping. The best motivation for many was the ability to vape anywhere.

    My wife wanted me to ask " how many mods are to many"

    My wife has more mods than I do, so....The answer is obviously, "whatever she says". (I've been married 43 years this month and have learned this is the answer to every question.)
