    Vaporesso Luxe or Revenger X? Which one is better?

    ....So, my viewpoint is the same... make sure you can get replacement coils. If you get an off-branded coils, make sure they are readily available and from a reliable manufacturer. The fact you point out that there are many companies that make the TFV8 replacement coils strikes home the fact...

    Vaporesso Luxe or Revenger X? Which one is better?

    This is where my opinions are different than most users here. I am not a big lover of Smok, but I do realize one thing about them, Their tanks have become popular due to price, and Smok is so widely available, that just due to the availability, they have some value. If it came down to someone...

    Vaporesso Luxe or Revenger X? Which one is better?

    I know, you're getting a lot of advise and you know what the difference between the atomizer and mod. However, in the vaping industry, new atomizers and mods are released almost on a monthly basis. Smok is notorius for releasing kits and atomizers, only to come out with a new atomizer a...

    Random DIY mixing and More

    newer HDs are very fast. they now use SSD drives.. no moving parts, just chips. Think of SSDs like a large version of a flash drive, but using fast memory chips. Funny, I knew they were going to store stuff on memory chips a LONG time ago.... back in the late 80's when I plugged 80 little...

    Random DIY mixing and More

    ...that actually sounds good. Normally, I do my own flavorings, but this one sounds good. I'll have to try FA ice cream.

    Random DIY mixing and More

    If you're just making small batches for testing, then a dripper is the way to go. The thing about rebuilding, is you don't necessarily need to recoil a lot. Most of the time, I just pull out the cotton, rinse with water, dry burn the coils until they glow, rinse them off again, and re-wick...

    E cigarette flavoring and heart disease

    Actually, I do. Big tobacco has invested in the cigalike type of vapes. Needless to say, a few years back, the FDA was trying to ban all vape gear except for cigalikes. Interesting eh? Even the european industry tried to do the same thing, so they're limited to 2ml in their tanks.

    E cigarette flavoring and heart disease

    I have seen enough articles and "propaganda" against Electronic cigarettes, and about %95 of them are totally bogus. I studied hard when I first started vaping. Back then, everything was new, and I thought vaping was just a different way of delivering tobacco. I thought it was more about the...

    Newbie in the Vaping World

    1. That dizzyness is probably a nicotine buzz, but at if you've smoked for 10 years, and a 3mg juice is giving you a nicotine buzz, then it may be something else. I use 6mg, and I notice a tinge in the taste in the first vape of the day from the nicotine or if I haven't vaped for a while, but...

    Looking at getting into rebuildables

    For the most part, I agree with you. With the kayfuns, however, I think the authentics are better. I have a clone kayfun, and although it works fine, I can definitely tell that it has poor threading. for the most part, I am a clone fan.... I just don't see spending $100 on an atomizer when...

    Changes for the better.

    That is entirely why I got into RTAs rather early. Back then, I was using CE5 clearomizers, and I hated to see them thrown out after a week of use. The ones I had had replaceable coils, but even then, I hated to see a $2 coil be thrown away after a week when I can see the problem is simply...

    Changes for the better.

    ...whatever analogy works for you. :) But, the key point, is you don't necessarily recommend a larger and more complicated and expensive device to new vapers. That's also why pilots don't learn how to fly on four engine jets...they learn on a cheap-o single engine plane and get pilot...

    Old Man - Old Vapor - Vapor.Duke

    Hello, and welcome to the forums! Sounds like you have somewhat similar likes to me. For me, I use Nichrome/kanthal though, but I prefer a restrictive lung hit. I currently have a large pack of Muji cotton in the bin, but it's a different size. for RTAs, I use a Fresia RTA. Pretty...

    Explosion

    ....and test the charger. I bought a USB tester, and the amperage and cables vary widely no matter what the charger says. It's really been an eye opener. I've seen chargers that advertise 2.1 amp charging port, but when I plug it in, it is only charging at 1.3 amps with a known good cable...

    Changes for the better.

    Analogy time! would you rather someone who is learning to ride motorcycles ride a Ducati or a cheap Yamaha? or a new teenage driver a Corvette, or a used Honda? My Sons aren't going to be driving Corvettes, I can guarantee that. :)

    I'm not a troll

    That is the wrong way to think of it. I've always said, vaping is NOT a 1:1 replacement for smoking. smoking contains over 2000 chemicals, and nicotine is only one of the addictive chemicals in it (albeit the most addictive one). When I quit smoking, I was at a pack per day, and through...

    30mm bargain uk

    ....they put knurling on the drip tip??? will your lips slide off? Also, knurling on the outer part of the deck chamber seems like it's going too far.

    Changes for the better.

    Hi and welcome to the forums. Like you, I found the RDTA route much more cheaper, better tasting, and, well, generally better over all. I don't want to bash smok at all, they serve their purpose even though it's not what I use. Smok is great for getting people to quit analogs. Rebuilding is...

    Bad advice

    I kind of laughed at this... it is DUAL not DUEL. But if you really want to DUEL with RTA's, then the only thing I found on the interweb about anything RTA that you can duel with is an M60 tank, and it seems like overkill for a duel. People mainly answer from experience. The other thing to...

    vape has helped me cut down on cigs, but...

    Cograts. it seems everyone else has made suggestions I have. Here's something I use to keep things more up to par with reality. When I quit, I was smoking a pack per day. I would buy the cheapest cigarettes by the carton to get the price down to $2.80/pack So to me, that was $2.80 per day...
