    Hi, I just quit cigarettes and began vaping, I have a few questions...

    The Pico is a nice mod as well.. The .5 ohm Melo coils say they are recommended for 30-100 watts, so I would start at 30 and work up. Like what Two_bears said, be sure to prime the tank before use. Save your old coils! One thing about the Melo, is the coils can be rebuilt and you can save...

    Hi, I just quit cigarettes and began vaping, I have a few questions...

    Looks like everyone else has you covered. Vaping is much cheaper than cigarettes overall, and can be even cheaper when you build your own coils and make your own juice. If you're first starting vaping, I'd recommend getting one with replaceable coils while you learn how to rebuild. For JUST...

    The Unofficial Equipment of the Year Poll for 2016

    Mine is a clone, and black. So, all I can say, is the clone's finish stays on very well.

    The Unofficial Equipment of the Year Poll for 2016

    I've never used the serpent, but the goblin is a great tank when you know how to set it up. Velocity style deck, can hold 3mm claptons in a tank, and keep up with the wicking. To get it to be leak proof, keep the wicking guide ring on when you wick it.. have enough cotton to go int he hole...

    Introduction to ECF, my vaping history & more!

    Welcome to the forum. Like others have said, you're well on your way. Consider yourself a "hobby vapist". There are those who vape to get off stinkies, those who are trying, those who vape, but don't tinker much, then there's us hobby vapists, who build our own coils and such. Here's some of...

    I hate spring loaded 510's!!!

    Now I have to figure out what they sprayed it with. :) I agree with the joytech's 510... not the best. I haven't taken my cuboid apart yet, but when I do, I expect some sort of juice in there as well as disconnected soldier joints. I don't mind doing some modifying to get it right. The only...

    The Unofficial Equipment of the Year Poll for 2016

    Well, fortunately, they haven't outlawed homeopathic atomizers for essential oils. I like my Releaux and Griffin setup for my own on the go essential oil treatments. Tea tree and Lavender... good healthy essential oils. :)

    I hate spring loaded 510's!!!

    It's not majorly leaking from the tanks, and it's just the design of the tanks. It's not leaking from the filling, or vaccuume leaks.. it's just standard leaks. almost any tank you get, the air has to go in somewhere. Unless you have a top airflow tank, some spitback will go down the air...

    I hate spring loaded 510's!!!

    Ok, this is the THIRD mod that has been ruined by the spring loaded 510. The current trends all seem fine and nice, but they are all self destructive. Topfill designs all tend to leak just a little at the 510 connector. Some go through the airflow control and thus down to the 510 that way...

    Which RBA ????

    Rebuilding is definately a good way to go. I started rebuilding CE5's back in the day, but today, rebuilding is super easy compared to what it has been in the past. I'll go over some pro's and cons: Pro's: 1) RTA's are the same price as the standard tanks, but the materials to make a coil...

    Please help me with My Vaporesso Target Vape Range

    ...while I was writing the above (and catching up on my FOE game) someone posted info you might want to check out as well.. seems there are two versions that looks similar. It might help if you post a picture of your mod so we can tell which version you have. You know, looking at all these...

    Please help me with My Vaporesso Target Vape Range

    Ok, the others are pretty much thinking the same thing I am... The mod comes with two different coils, a .9 ohm kanthal, and a .2 ohm Ni-200 coil. According to a review, it should come with the .9 ohm kanthal built in, but the other one is in the box. You should look at the resistance of the...

    Please help me with My Vaporesso Target Vape Range

    vapor production is not as easy as it looks. There are so many factors to consider, and it's just not a simple as telling you what setting. First, I assume you're talking about having this kit: Vaporesso Target VTC 75W Kit $44.99. ASSUMING this is what you have, it has an option as to what...

    Need experts of creamy user

    I vape all across the board.. my standard is a .7 ohm dual coil build... just ends up that way. However, at the moment, it my two main vapes, I have a 2.0 dual coil in an orchid in my cloupor mini, and a .24 dual parallel in my Griffin 22. Since I am low on juice, they both have the exact same...

    Need experts of creamy user

    I actually disagree somewhat with that... :) I find that the heat of the vape does affect certain flavors. For creamy and fruity, the cooler vapes tend to fare better. Hotter vapes tend to bring out the overall sweetness or tartness of the juice. As an example, if I put a guava/custard in...

    Need help with choosing right RTA!

    The RDTA's are actually, in my opinion, going back a step in time. Let me explain the two styles that have been used. The Genesis style tank: The whole idea behind this tank was back when they were trying to figure out how to saturate the coil from a tank. The Genesis style came up with...

    why does someone who never vaped before hack and cough

    you mean vaping at 200 watts in innapropriate. I would say for most people, a ego/spinner type is perfect for discovering Ecigs. Most long time smokers see box mods as too bulky compared to a cigarette. I usually would ask them if they'd use something like this (and point towards my cuboid)...

    Question about my power nano

    It's not really dropping by any great means. %8 at most, and that could easily be due to weather conditions or warmth of the coil, the coil moving slightly due to it being heated... any trivial reason could cause that small of a drop. And it's not a significant drop. It'd be interesting to...

    Question about my power nano

    ...I know I know... My wife wanted an SUV. If you think about it, It's all about looks. I wanted the van for vacations and just regular hauling. As much as people say they hate vans, they sure ask if I could haul this or haul that. Seats the same amount of people, automatic doors, and with...

    why does someone who never vaped before hack and cough

    I think the others hit the nail on the head. It has nothing to do with the nicotine. If you let them vape zero nic pure VG, they will still cough. It has to do with getting bigger particles they're not used to. Same with non smokers taking a drag off an ecig. The best thing you can do, is...
