    Youtube "Reviewers"

    You don't need aglets on both ends to do that, just pull most of the cotton through the first coil, cut it in the middle and use the remaining cotton with the aglet on the 2nd coil. Pretty sure it's illegal in the US to do paid promotions on Youtube without disclosure, and even if that weren't...

    My RDA is acting crazy!

    You should isolate the problem by replacing 1 part at a time. 7 months in storage should not have made the batteries any more dangerous than they were, unless they dipped below 2.5v and were in that state for a while. If you stored them with some charge on them (3.5v+ or so), they should be...

    Thinner Wire

    24 gauge is great for me, it resists deformation well without being too power hungry. I've had a spool of 26 gauge SS316L for a while and tried building a 6 wrap spaced coil with it, even after dropping the wattage by a quarter the wicks were turning black a lot faster than with 24 gauge while...

    Youtube "Reviewers"

    You don't need it on both ends, which is why I found it questionable when he criticized a competing product for only having it on one end. He moved to the US on a work visa from the store that sells COTN, so the financial connection is definitely there, but there's no disclosure in the video...

    Youtube "Reviewers"

    COTN is basically pre-cut bits of cotton with shoelace bits on both ends for easy insertion and "conveniency", and he has used, praised and plugged the store they are sold in during literally every rebuildable atomizer review for many months now, except for the one video where he used a...

    My RDA is acting crazy!

    If the batteries were discharged (~3v) when you stored them, they may have dipped into unsafe territory after being stored for 7 months. Are you saying they took a day to recharge? Your problem doesn't seem to be connected to the batteries, but it's good to store batteries close to nominal...

    Best vape you’ve ever had

    I must have vaped at least 3 liters of juice on my Geekvape Zeus. I've tried over a dozen RTAs, RDAs, tanks, clearomizers, and the convenience of having a fast top fill, leakproof tank combined with great flavor has been unbeatable. The only complaint I have is that the coil sits too close to...

    Having my 6th cigarette, but I'm OK...

    Picking up a cigarette after a year or two of vaping 0 nic fruit flavored juice, I found it absolutely disgusting. Ditto for tobacco flavored juices (damn you, blowout sales!). While I've occasionally bummed a few cigs at outdoor parties with lots of smokers and alcohol, I feel absolutely no...

    Youtube "Reviewers"

    I think DJLsb's relentless promotion of COTN is questionable, as well as the fact that he always mentions it is sold through the store that gave him a work visa to the US (yes, I watch his vlogs). He also criticized a competing product for only having the shoelace bit on one end, which is...

    Proving that Samsung 30Q 4 leg batteries are fake

    I've received some batteries that were sold as Samsung 30Qs, but their positive contacts have 4 legs. I believe Samsung cells are all supposed to have 3 leg positive contacts, but if I'm going to successfully dispute the order, I need to be able to prove they are not genuine to an arbiter who is...

    GeekVape Zeus RTA

    Somebody in this thread mentioned that the Ehpro Bachelor X's bubble glass is compatible with the Zeus, and it looks similar to the one off eBay. Ehpro Bachelor X RTA

    Vape getting hot??

    If you were to put half as much effort into doing research as you do in obfuscating the fact that you've made a false statement, you wouldn't have to do the latter nearly as much.

    Vape getting hot??

    It sounded like you were saying the presence of nic salts or other components of e-juice would turn non-conductive water conductive, which is wrong, and correcting that apparent bit of misinformation is not beating a dead horse.

    Vape getting hot??

    Mixing pure, non-conductive water with non-conductive e-juice is not going to produce a conductive liquid.

    Canadian Government now has an official stance on Vaping!

    Plain packaging is fine, but mandatory euphemisms are a really bad idea, as euphemisms inevitably stop being euphemisms and need to be replaced with new ones, eventually resulting in absurd language; not to mention the resources wasted on litigating the effectiveness of euphemisms over time.

    Can you refreeze nicotine?

    Just don't tell that to the tobacco lobby.

    That would be delicious.

    Sounds like something @Mooch would be interested in.

    What is the difference between throat hit and dry hit?

    I'd probably singlehandedly endanger the cotton plant if I were to do the same. I change the wicks in my Zeus about once every 50 refills or so.

    What is the difference between throat hit and dry hit?

    A dry hit is very harsh, no taste of liquid (because there is none), and is certain to make you cough, it's more like breathing in smoke from a campfire than vaping. It sounds like you're flirting with exceeding the threshold of comfortable vaping on that atomizer at 35W, maybe dial back a bit.
