    New to vaping.

    In NL there's a new experiment with nicotine capsules in powdered form that can Be added to 0mg eliquid. That way, shops avoid the max 10ml rule for nicotine eliquids. The people who tried it are moderately positive about it, though the mix seems To gunk up your coils more quickly...

    Can vaping cause cancer

    I don't remember where I read this, but there is a pretty theory on how a large percentage of our dna actually came from retrovirii, and that would make them the motor of evolution....Just google 'retrovirus and evolution' ;)

    New Joyetech 20watt eGrip

    I'm starting to hate rebuilding my egrip. Today I accidentally unscrewed one of the screws too far and it fell out. Took me about 15 minutes and lots of karmapoints to get it back in. Then I built it up and wicked it and then watched as half my tank of eliquid leaked out quite rapidly. All seals...

    Can vaping cause cancer

    Unfortunately, our bodies are not machines, something scientists would like us to believe. You can't just turn a knob or push a button and presto: health is assured. Some diseases can be avoided by adjusting your lifestyle, but most of the time it's a game of chance. I know because I am a...

    Can vaping cause cancer

    Nicotine does not cause cancer, but it is suspected of encouraging the growth of existing tumors. In other words, if cancer is diagnosed and you wish to heal or live as long as possible, then stay away from nicotine.

    New ecig atomizer tastes burnt

    Perhaps your juice is a bit too thick for the system you're using, so check the pg/vg ratio. Pg should be 70 or more I think, for an atomizer with tank system.

    New Joyetech 20watt eGrip

    Metallic taste usually means you have a hotspot in your coil somewhere. Try to put the coil higher above the airhole, make sure it doesn't touch the screws.

    Is Organic Cotton Harmfull ? (Calling Everyone!)

    The lungs do expell particles they can't absorb. That's why we coughed up slime when we were smokers....it's how the lungs try to clean themselves......

    New Joyetech 20watt eGrip

    It also happens if there's some fluid between the stock coil and the base. My USB plug also doesn't fit snugly, but it charges, so I don't worry about it. Just don't force anything.

    Was this nic poisoning?

    So if I understand correctly, you woke up, had your first vape of the day and then started feeling dizzy and nauseous? And normally you wake up, have your first vape and you're fine? Cause if that's the case, my guess is you're coming down with something and it has nothing to do with vaping.

    Newb looking to start building...help!

    What to get and how to build it is such a matter of personal preference, that it's hard to give advice, other than: buy and try some different stuff.... I build my own coils for my rebuildable tanks and like to be around 1.5 ohms. Why? Dunno really, that's just how my builds come out most...

    New Joyetech 20watt eGrip

    Put the coil a bit higher. Then wick it, making sure to 'fan the wicks out'. Then tuck the wicks in, pay attention that all juiceholes are covered by the wick. Prime, install, vape! No leaking!

    EU The Netherlands ratifyes TPD as first EU country

    Nope...every country can make their own regulations within the scope of the TPD. The Netherlands are forced to classify ecigs as a tobaccoproduct (it was decided in court that ecigs are not medicine), while the UK are going the medicine route.

    List of Monthly E-Juice Subscription Boxes

    Can't really help you with that, since Vapebox is my first subscription service. I like receiving hardware, I like being surprised once a month. And so far, I'm enjoying the juices I received in the welcome box. Kahlua & cream is lovely! Gotta get used to lunghitting with the Atlantis though ;)...

    vaping advice

    I would advice against the Atlantis, since this is a tank made for low-ohm vaping. You'd definitely need a different battery to use with the Atlantis. The airflow on the Atlantis is wide and not really comfortable if you like to draw vapour in your mouth first before inhaling (mouth-to-lung). A...

    vaping advice

    I understand that you like the ease of prebuilt coils, however, I am recommending you check out an rta as an option. I am a lazy vaper, things should be easy, but I am also on a budget and modern coils cost a fortune. So I now build my own. Building your own coils can be a hassle, especially in...

    My First 24 Hours

    Welcome and good luck on your journey! What made me quit smoking is what you mentioned already: cigarettes tasted bland compared to my ecig. So I no longer saw the point of smoking when I had something that tasted better. You'll get there too, just don't rush....it'll happen in due time.

    EU The Netherlands ratifyes TPD as first EU country

    Hmmmm, I'm not gonna count on BP to fix this problem....We're still trying to figure out what the implications might be if this proposal gets accepted, but we're also working hard to make sure that doesn't happen.
