    Using what you have when your stockpile runs out...

    Realize that what you might vape on today is called a mod, because the early ones were Modified flashlights, laser pointers and battery boxes. With the FDA looking on drying up the supply of store bought "mods", we may need to return to our roots. Started this thread so those that missed the...

    Using what you have when your stockpile runs out...

    Yup, I have the same diy stuff that I've accumulated over the years. I was thinking of the newer vapers that have only ever seen screw-in coils. Most won't know you can improve air flow on an old Vivi-Nova by drilling holes in the base with a dremel tool, and recoiled with a temp-control...

    Using what you have when your stockpile runs out...

    I've noticed a few threads on stocking up in preparation for the deeming regulations. Thousands of post and it's all well and good. This thread is for tips on how to keep what you have working, build your own coils (on something designed for re-building or not), how to improve older equipment...

    Coils and wire and tools, oh my

    I use a couple precision screwdriver shanks, and a pair of nail clippers. I've tried a couple coil winders and find they don't work as well as a screwdriver. I have a number of different mods I use to measure my ohms...if a couple, few agree on the same coil, I'm confident of their accuracy.

    Study finds combustible tobacco cigarettes cost less than e-cigarettes

    When I smoked I spent about $300 a month. Since the first couple of years of e-cig purchases, I have enough equipment and DIY supplies that I now don't spend anywhere near $300 in a year.

    She didn't age well

    Mostly it depends....:) Depending on the flavors used, the flavor brands, additives used, etc...the best time to vape your DIY can vary. When I make up a batch I vape it immediately, if it's good keep vaping. If it's a little off, try it again in a week, then another week, see if it gets...

    My favorite and most often used are my Orchid V4 & V5 tanks, with Kayfun replacement tanks. Filling is a bit of a pain, but the vape has great flavor and clouds.
