    Flavorless Odorless Electronic Cigarette

    Just get a bottle of USP grade Vegetable Glycerin from your local drug store and add some water to thin it. Cheap, no flavor, big clouds and no nicotine.

    What would you like to see change in the vaping world?

    I'd like to see an end to sub-ohming. If cigarettes put out the same clouds that sub-ohmers do, you wouldn't need a government ban. All buildings would have banned them 100 years ago. It makes the fight 10x harder.

    My first diy recipe problem

    Those recipes are very hit and miss. I've tried some of the highest rate ones and there are some I love and some that are horrible. If you hate it now, you'll probably hate it later. Just make small batches, keep good notes, and build up your favorites through trial and error.

    Attack of the (Kayfun Mini V3) Clones!

    If you get some seepage right after filling, it could be because you pressurized the tank. Otherwise, it's because you have a bad seal. The vacuum is what holds the juice in, not the wick. Remove the tank, put it firmly in the palm of your hand, suck in on the tip and block it with your tongue...

    Attack of the (Kayfun Mini V3) Clones!

    You would have to move glacier slow for that to work. The original minis have flat spot among the threads to let the pressure out as you're screwing it down. However, some of the clones don't have this. Even if you go slow, you're going to pressurize the tank somewhat. I don't know if it's...

    Attack of the (Kayfun Mini V3) Clones!

    I have a small case which always has spare batteries, 2 bottles of juice and 2 tanks. If the flavor goes on one of my tanks, I just use one of the other ones until I get home. I don't usually bother to change the wick until it stops working well so each of my tanks has a different color glass...

    New Calculator to try

    If I had to make one single request for the calculator, it would be this: put a column on the left right next to the ingredient names that shows the amount in your preference of grams, ml, or drops. I mix by weight and the grams are way over to the right and I have to be very careful that I stay...

    Attack of the (Kayfun Mini V3) Clones!

    I'm not sure what you're doing that's giving you so much trouble. I just grab the tip of the wick with a pair of angled tweezers and tuck it in. Only takes seconds. Maybe it's the cotton you're using. If you use the Japanese cotton pads it's a snap. Kind of like using a silica wick.

    Last question. I hope

    I vape 70/30 on a v3 mini and have no trouble at all with wicking. I think the airflow has a lot to do with how much juice you pull. Try choking it off a bit.

    Can't taste E-Liquid at all..

    You say it's been about 5 months since you vaped. Vaper's tongue is common among newer vapers. It likely has something to do with physiological changes in your body when you stop smoking. I've never seen a reliable method to overcome it. All I can suggest is to vape the juices you don't like...

    No Leak Tanks for Vape-smokers?

    Tanks use the suction created when you take a toot to pull juice up into the juice well. It's a fine balance between too much and too little. In your case, you're creating a lot of suction and pulling too much juice. They're not really designed to be used like that. Probably your best bet is to...

    Attack of the (Kayfun Mini V3) Clones!

    I consider the juice control more of an off/on than a regulator. If the tank has a good seal, then it really doesn't matter how far you open it or how you wick it. Open it all the way, 2-3 turns. The vacuum in the tank will control the juice flow. As long as the wick is not blocking the juice...

    Attack of the (Kayfun Mini V3) Clones!

    If you find that the tank leaks out of the air holes after refilling, the problem is that you're pressurizing the tank when you screw the top cap back on. The easiest way to resolve this is to turn the tank upside down before you open the flow control. That lets the pressure out without forcing...

    New at this

    I was just the opposite. For me, it was as easy as falling off a log, even after 40 years of smoking. I tried a million times, and even vaped for a while, but nothing worked. What worked for me this time was so simple yet so effective that I slap myself for not doing it sooner. DON'T THINK ABOUT...

    Attack of the (Kayfun Mini V3) Clones!

    I'm using Japanese cotton pads. I cut a strip, insert it, cut it to size, tuck it in and I'm done. I bought a bag of what's got to be at least 1000 pads half a year ago and I just took the second pad out this week. I'll be gone before the pads are.

    Attack of the (Kayfun Mini V3) Clones!

    I actually prefer the wall. With the previous Kayfuns I hated trying to screw down the chamber without snagging the wick and then trying to get the wick in the position I want. With the mini V3 I just cut the wick slightly less than the width of the base, tuck it in with a pair of angled...

    Attack of the (Kayfun Mini V3) Clones!

    If you want a bigger tank, try the V3 mini plus. It's the exact same as the V3 mini, but wider. About 22ml I think and holds around 4ml
