    The cloud chasing fad

    Who cares. Early on I use to say questionable stuff like this and I tell you I now sub ohm LOL. I am now getting a lot of vapor when I'm at home or in the car ( not in the general public). So i guess you don't do anything anybody can laugh at or make fun of. Wish we could use stronger...

    Nicotine

    OH on two occasions I was hospitalized because my BP was so high. I'm talking the nurses jaw dropped when she saw my BP. Later they said I could have died.

    Nicotine

    It's a matter of worst evil. Nicotine is a toxin it can raise your BP. So the idea is to vape with the goal of reducing the nicotine at some point even if you don't quit. But If you are a smoker this is the lesser of the two evils. Hate to use that analogy but could not come up with a better...

    Mechanical Mod Ruining Battieries

    When you get at a resistance like that you may be outrunning the mods resistance. The mod/switch is now the higher resistance so it gets hot. Like the doctor told the guy when he said it hurts when I do this. Doc says "DON"T DO THAT". Same here up your resistance or get a mod with a lower...

    Coil build on an ipv2 50 watt

    I'd go with the Mama or the Plumeveil. Quad coils with a total resistance of say .2 - .5 ohms use a wire that will give you at least 6 turns and I'd go with vertical coils. 50 watts total will give you 12 watts per coil make sure they have an inside diameter of around 3mm. Go here to do...

    Be careful of ordering batteries from DealExtreme

    Ordered 4 Sony VTC5 batteries from DealExtreme on July 6th. Never got here. When I contacted them they asked me to wait for 2 more weeks. Against my better judgement I waited. Now they are not doing any thing to resolve the problem and because I waited those two weeks Paypall won't do...

    upgraded Kanger dual coil head

    The enclosed head is just harder to rebuild. IMO they are no better than the ones with the wicks poking out the side. I think they invented them because of all of us that rebuild the old types.

    Are Rba coatings safe? Pvd

    454 is not all that hot rayon burns at like 420 F. Bit late to be asking since you have it. Guess you could take a dremel wire wheel to the inside to strip off the coating on the inside. I personally stay from anything that is not Stainless steel or glass. Don't even trust brass or copper...

    where do I find the best chocolate ever

    Very subjective question. Matter of taste but the best I've found so far off the shelf is Halo's Belgian Cocoa.

    which multimeter/omnimeter to buy?

    Have one other tester you may want to look at. I have this one along with a multimeter. Just be warned if you over tighten some mods to test voltage you may damage the voltage tester side. Had to return one. The second one works great. OH the volt tester part of this will not test a lot of...

    first mech mod?

    I'd get the Hcigar Nemesis. If you don't plan on going way sub ohm I'd get the Stainless Steel one as they hold up better the copper and brass ones tarnish and dent easy as the metal is soft. I would avoid ones with magnets incorporated in the switch contact as they IMO are the worst point of...

    which multimeter/omnimeter to buy?

    I'd get this one. It measures TRUE RMS which is important if you want to test voltage on most VV and VW mods. Many if not most VV/VW's use something called PULSE WIDTH MODULATION. A regular DC meter will not show that. DIGITEK DT-2844R True-RMS Auto-ranging Digital Multimete - - Amazon.com...

    When Is A Battery Ready For The Recycle Bin

    I only discard batteries if they leak/vent or wont' hold or take a charge. You should be able to get 100s of charges off a battery. Getting hot in a Mech says you may be exceeding it's ability. I have been vaping for two years and have had one battery die from a shorted Voltage tester and two...

    Need Safe but cheap batteries

    Do not order batteries from Fasttech. Takes forever to get a battery from China because of all the new security. IF you do plan on waiting over a month maybe 2 also don't get a VTC3.

    Need Safe but cheap batteries

    You did not say what mod these batteries are going in. Will they be used in a Mech and will you be going sub ohm? Makes a big diff. While for most VV/VW's an cheap efest is fine but on a mech with a RDA on it running a .2 ohm build that efest would be venting in short order. IMO you should...

    coil build advice

    Oh use one of the cotton type wicks like organic cotton balls etc or cellucotton. Don't make the wick to tight it should pull through the coil easily and High VG juice works best.

    coil build advice

    OK first the soap box speech. Sorry! For rebuilding you need a good working knowledge of ohms law. Practice battery safety, using the proper battery and not over charging or exceeding it's designed limit. Use locks on mechs and the lock or off feature on V mods. Ok off the soap box...

    Upgrading a Seven-22...

    Doubt it. It uses an SX220 chip which has not had any software upgrades. Was hoping it was a SX350 but it's not. All this assumes there is a way to get into the Seven 22 which I have not found as I'm afraid of damaging it.
