    Trying to combat throat irritation

    I agree that a MTL device is likely the solution. However the PG/VG ratio can be important. My wife gets throat irritation with PG so she uses 100% VG. I have COPD and associated nasal congestion so I use 80% PG and 20% VG (and unflavored).

    New to the forum..looking for some help with new mod

    If you vape at lower watts/volts you will save battery life on any battery.

    Spinner 2

    Time to give it last rites...maybe a short memorial with close friends and family. Ego size batteries are still available for sure.

    Juice wells in RDA??

    My problem with RDAs has been finding those that are good for MTL vaping and simple single coils. For that style of vaping I have recently found the NarDa and the Speed Revolution. Both of these have decent wells and are squonk capable, but if you want wide open airflow DL vaping, these aren't...

    A Decade Of Vaping - Do You Remember When?

    I framed my first sleek silver Volt cigalike with a black carto mounted and labeled with my quit date. (August 12, 2012) Still have a soft spot in my heart for that one.

    Eleaf iStick Basic isn't charging

    One of mine I have to wiggle after inserting the plug to get a connection. The Istick Basic socket is sort of deep and some cords don't go in far enough to connect if that makes sense.

    please advise-closest i've been to success

    I don't find too much difference between the 1.0 and the .6 except a bit longer battery life with the 1.0. If you want even longer battery life the 1.5 is better. Overall, I prefer the 1.0 coil.

    100% VG???

    I make 100% VG with about 3% or 3.5% distilled water.

    I can’t get to vaping only please any suggestions!

    For a smaller out-and-about device you could try a Kanger subvod.. Uses the same coils as a subtank.

    A simple predition

    I'm an old guy. Would probably have to get a grandkid to set it up and keep it running.

    PG Vapers ?

    My COPD limits me to 80%pg/20%vg. I prefer more vg but can't handle it well. alas

    Which one is best

    I own both. Like the shape of the kanger better, but like the performance of the pico. Over a couple of years they still work, so no break downs. When it comes to the tanks that come with the starter kits, the subtank is better.

    Newbie thoughts

    There are various tanks that use the same coil...all relatively inexpensive...evod 2, protank 3, etc. It's a little hard to find just the top evod tank alone, but I found it at Heaven Gifts for something like $5.99. Still, you can buy the whole kit for $9-$12, so I would get the whole thing so...

    vape while charging?

    I believe most isticks can be used as a passthru.

    old user starting over have some questions.

    Subtank mini coils are available almost everywhere for $10-12 for a 5 pack. There are several versions now and different ohms. $13.99 for 30 mil is not a terrible price. Mt Baker Vapor is one of the cheaper sites for liquid. Yes, get a new battery.

    Moving on from Sticks!

    If it were me, I would stick to a single battery mod at this stage of your journey.

    What made you start vaping?

    Cookies. No really. A pop-up ad on my computer for an ecig. Can't even remember the brand. I was actively trying to quit (for 40 years) so I started researching and ended up here on ECF. That was 5 1/2 years ago. 1 week later I had my first starter kit (A volt cigalike from Smokeless Image) and...

    No More Carto-Tank Forum

    Ah, those were the days. I spent several months using carto tanks...thought they were the be-all end-all. Used IBTanked and even several Smok varieties. Then I got my first Kayfun and learned to rebuild. Somehow, sitting around totally saturating a carto (Taryn spin and all) was surprisingly...
