    am i hitting it wrong?

    Most of the nicotine from vapor is absorbed through the mucous membranes in your mouth and sinuses. So, holding it in your lungs doesn't really do anything to increase your nicotine. If you're getting headaches, you're getting too much nicotine. Try smaller, more frequent hits and hold it in...

    In need of serious help

    Don't mean to nitpick, but it's a common misconception that PG adds throat hit. PG, unlike VG, simply doesn't reduce throat hit. Because high PG juice necessarily contains less PG, it gives the impression that PG is responsible for TH. In the absence of certain additives used by some juice...

    Lava Tube

    Take a look at this thread. It should explain what you're asking. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/305890-lava-tube-l-rider-whatever-name.html

    I just got some 34Ga. Kanthal A from ebay. There is also a seller there who sent me a foot of wick (search "silica wick"), but it seems a bit thin, so I may either use multiple strands or convert to cotton. I haven't decided yet. I don't know where to get the exact replacement wick...

    Lava Tube

    Cuz you're looking in the wrong place. Voltage produces heat but has little to do with TH. TH is a product of nicotine content and the absence of VG, which mutes TH. If you're getting 6V from one device, another device that supplies 6V is going to be no different in terms of throat hit...

    moving along to the lavatube...

    As Arnold would say... Hear me now. Believe me later. Get a Vivi Nova 2 or 2.5. They blow the stardust out of the water on all accounts. They come with three heads, 1.8, 2.4 and 2.8ohm. The 1.8 will work good for wimpy 3.4V ego batteries. The 2.4 and 2.8 work great on the Vtube. You can...

    lava tube, l-rider or whatever the name..

    Actually, the color of the power button may have changed over time but, for now anyway, I believe you're right. The 2.5 amp current limit and the resistance meter is probably the most reliable way to tell the L-Rider version from the others. PWM isn't something that's advertised in the...

    lava tube, l-rider or whatever the name..

    The original Lavatube, by L-Rider has a 2.5amp limit and does not indicate resistance. The "knockoffs" have improved the circuitry to increase the current limit to 3.2 amps or more. If the current imit is 2.5amps, it is almost certainly an L-Rider. If there is a "mini" option available, it is...

    Variable Voltage or solid voltage?

    I forgot all about a Kicked Silver bullet. That is probably the last word in consistency, besides the unobtainable Darwin. A Silver Bullet with a Kick will let you dial in the power you want and maintain it regardless of how the battery drains or what resistance you put on the end of it. You...

    I almost wish I hadn't looked

    That's not the worst battery in the world. You can use any of the 808 cartomizers. The Volt uses a Kanger Horizontal coil cartomizer. You can get blank ones to refill with good juice economically. The biggest problem with the V2 isn't their battery, it's their ripoff prices and their lousy...

    Variable Voltage or solid voltage?

    The Silver Bullet takes a 3.7V battery. It's unregulated. A 3.7V battery will come off charge at 4.2V and gradually decrease with use. The majority of it's time will be spent at 3.7V. If you have a large capacity battery, you could spend several hours vaping at 3.8 to 4.2V. I get about 5-6...

    Panasonic Batteries?

    You've just wasted a huge amount of ammo on a straw man. Because nobody is claiming that all the Panasonics are the greatest, particularly protected and particularly in contrast to Sanyo. There are plenty better protected batteries out there and no one's claimed otherwise, AFAIK. I...

    newbie here - looking for suggestions?

    Not to get all political here but, make no mistake, your healthcare system may be deteriorating rapidly, but that's because it's being actively and deliberately sabotaged. We have the same breed of saboteurs in the U.S., where all public services are being deliberately underfunded, and their...

    Should I get a carto puncher?

    While you''re getting cartos, get some blunt tips. Most vaping sites have them. They also have syringes so you don't have to hunt down a feed store. Most drugstores don't have the blunt tips anyway. That's one more thing you can do with your dremel tool, but blunt tips are easier and you can...

    What do you think of these?

    Ooo Boy! That site says "Scam" all over it. Claims that a cartridge is equivalent to a pack of cigarettes are bad enough. That one steps it up a notch, claiming their 7 cartridges are equal to 280 cigarettes, or 2 packs each. That's so patently absurd that even the scam sites in the U.S...

    Question on SB center post

    It's generally preferred to move the center post on the atty/carto first. But you can overdo it and ruin your carto. You won't hurt the SB by lifting the post slightly, especially if it's been pushed down already. If you're getting a good connection with the adapter, then just leave it on...

    Fluxomizer Supreme 510 XL 2.4-2.6 question

    Yes. They do benefit from a tank or so of "break in". They'll never taste as good as a bare atty, but they will definitely be an improvement over what you'd get with a cartomizer and at least as good as the eGo tank systems. That said, they really should offer a lower resistance for 3.4V...

    Lava Tube

    A dual coil cartomizer has 2 coils inside. Each coil is twice the resistance of the carto as a whole. So a 1.5ohm dual coil consists of two 3ohm coils inside the same casing. The battery sees 1.5ohms. It has no way of telling what is inside. Because of the 2.5amp limit, if you put a 1.5ohm...

    Lava Tube

    The good news is that they ship really fast. I got mine from CA to FL in 3 days from when I ordered it.

    Attention all vapors! N.Y. Vapers need your help!!! Casaa call to action!! Now!!!

    You should definitely do whatever you can to thwart this stupidity, but don't panic. Lawmakers propose bills all the time that have no chance of surviving legal challenges. This is one of them. They can no more ban e-cigs than they can ban cigarettes. They occupy the same legal niche as...
