    What's your small victory?

    CONGRATS !!! My small victory is today I visited a local vape shop while my boss was busy (home boss, not work boss, happily retired). Spent about 45 minutes talking to the help, checking different mods and tanks...and left without buying anything!!!

    Who has the best prices for authentic batteries?

    Go for quality and authenticity over price. I have some Panasonic 18650 that are at least 2 years old, likely older, used daily. So I figure they cost me about $0.03 a day...likely spent more for the electricity to charge them.

    Newbie in coiling without jig

    I have a few jigs also and only used them a few times, plain screwdriver is easier, quicker, better coil. That said, the first couple dozen coils I ever did were definitely fraken-coils. They worked but were but ugly. Got better with just a little practice and a couple spools of wire.

    Non-Smokers .... Vaping

    Yup, the FDA is bound and determined to make smoking more expensive than vaping....that will fix those kids, and boost tobacco sales / taxes. Kids do stupid things, otherwise there would be so many current kids smoking.

    Flavours you own, but never use.

    Black tea Gin (needs vermouth or tonic) Vapable but seldom used, a couple of tobaccos that just miss the mark and a variety of lemon, orange and grapefruit from various makers. I like citrus flavors a lot but they all just don't cut it.

    Started to vape today and got burning throat and coughing

    Try something simple...lower your wattage to about a 8-10 watt range. Now take a long, slow, gentle draw. Very different than how you took a draw on a cigarette. Count to 5 in your head as you draw, and slow it down enough to complete the draw after you get to 5. p.s. Welcome to ECF...

    I remember back in the day...

    I wonder how many kids will try smoking instead of vaping once the FDA kills it. I wonder if we will see a spike upward in teen smoking. I wonder if teens currently vaping nicotine will switch to smoking. I wonder in 40 or 50 years patients in the Comprehensive Cancer Center will wonder what...

    Why does juice darken?

    Nicotine will darken with age, exposure to light and oxygen, but has very little effect on strength. Madvapes did an experiment a couple years or so age...took bottles of exactly the same nic concentrate and stored one in the freezer in the dark, another at room temperature, up to and including...

    Class Action Exploding Devices

    Yup, I agree. My point was that all similar devices are not banned with one bad report. Go to Walmart, customer service desk, their bulletin board of recalls...there are a variety of devices being recalled due to bad design or batteries, and susceptibility of customer misuse . Without banning...

    Class Action Exploding Devices

    So will all cell phones, flashlights, laptops, tablets, electric toothbrushes, etc also be recalled and banned under this registration? Nah, didn't think so....

    Ordered Nicotine Base, What flavor should I use???

    First off, whatever flavors you use, start off mixing small 10mL batches. I usually start at 1% or less (depending on how strong the flavor concentrate smells) and add more if it needs it. Always easier to add a few more drops of flavor than trying to dilute a too strong flavor.

    I remember back in the day...

    Alas, all my eGo 650 are broke, something about never try adjusting the coil on a RTA while connected or all the "magic smoke" escapes from the eGo.

    I remember back in the day...

    I remember being able to keep track of new equipment as it was developed and marketed. The eGo 650 as the latest "game changer". Now I haven't a clue about most of the mods or tanks and that's even models that have been out for a year or two...:(

    A Vaping Question; Women vs. Men

    A male here, started at 24mg, went up to 30mg then 36mg for quite a while. Currently at about 10-12mg with my DIY. The level of your liquid depends heavily on how much you use per day. Someone, male or female using 5mL of 10mg liquid is getting the same dose as one doing 10mL of 5mg. So if...

    What has been your favourite go to RTA's this year?

    Subtank mini with RBA and my Orchid V4 w/Kayfun M-tanks. Very simple to build, no leaking, good flavor and vapor. Spend more time vaping these days than fooling with the "next best doo-dad on the market"

    What settings should I charge my battery?

    The 0.25A setting will take longer but heat the battery less, so it should last longer. A 3.7V rating on a battery is the nominal rating. That is the range it will be in the longest in each duty cycle. You can charge it to the 3.8V setting, and check the actual battery voltage with a...

    Are you done stocking up?

    I know how to tell when I've sufficiently stocked up.... Came in first place in a No-Limit Hold-em Poker tournament recently, (been running good lately) and stopped into a local B&M vape shop. Picked up ONE mod, a couple 18650 for it, and an unnecessary RTA, $115 total....and left with another...
