    peripheral Artery disease

    An (temporary) increase in blood pressure has been discussed and accepted as one of the downsides of using nicotine and is not new. Similarly using caffeine has much the same effect. The arterial stiffness aspect is a result of the increase in blood pressure and is, as far as i know, also...

    BEST Place For Long-Term Storage?

    I've always found that flavoured e-liquid with no nicotine stores best at room temperature away from direct light. Liquid with nicotine gets stored in the freezer - but some flavours (such as fruits) will deteriorate regardless of how they're stored. Tobacco inspired flavours seem to last the...

    Innokin GOZEE -- Featherweight Champion

    I'm probably one of the few who doesn't equate weight with quality so i like this. The only problem is that i have 4 built-in battery devices on the go right now. By the time i'm ready for a new in-built battery device this will have been discontinued... I can justify buying external battery...

    Vaping Health Long-Term

    ... Oooo,, just thought of something. I used to get 3-4 coldsores a year as a smoker. Sometimes they'd last 4-6 weeks each. That was one third of my life with a scabby lip. I cannot recall the last time i had one as a vaper, certainly haven't had one for at least 5 years. Also, since vaping i...

    Drag X turn itself off every other draw.

    Actually it's not something i've thought about - but you may have a valid point regarding batteries lasting longer than the device... A little tip - register on the Jac Vapour site, add the product to your cart and leave it a couple of days. They sometimes send out a discount email as an...

    Drag X turn itself off every other draw.

    Quite frankly most Chinese manufacturers use the same sort of caveats to deter people from using their warranties. Most people consider vaping devices as consumables and expect a limited user life. 11 months doesn't sound too off the mark. The alternative to treating mods as throw-away products...

    Water Based, Purer Taste -- Lota Series is Coming!

    Yep - it's an ever decreasing spiral of insanity. If the product wasn't available there'd be no demand for it. I cannot recall anyone stating that they really wished there was an over-priced, wasteful and more environmentally damaging option prior to them being available... :blink:

    Water Based, Purer Taste -- Lota Series is Coming!

    Disposable kits completely ignore the current zeitgeist towards responsible consumerism. Surprised and disappointed with such a well-established vaping manufacturer.:(

    Doctor advice

    My doctor asks if I smoke (he's been asking me the same thing every year for 10 years always with the same reply of 'no'). He was pleased with my test results. I felt no need to tell him that i have been vaping for the last decade (12-18mg liquid at about 3-4 ml a day). The reality is that...

    Vaping stories from the good old days

    P.S. Anyone want to buy a couple of bricks of Boge cartos or 200 silica wick 2.4 ohm clearomiser coils ? Only joking - they will remain in my loft along with the carto-tanks, clearos, Lava-Tubes and assorted tat awaiting their renaissance. :D

    Doctor advice

    .. and i responded with - 'what do you base this opinion on' ?.. Would have been what i would have expected to see in the OP. Without evidence or reason/critical thinking then the doctors opinion holds as much weight as my neighbours opinion. According to research smoking will either shorten...

    Vaping stories from the good old days

    he he ... just remembered when i used to buy 1ml taster liquids. A tiny little flip-top test tube like container. Only problem was at least half of the liquid used to stick to the sides of the container - you were lucky if you got one or two drops out of them. Also remember buying Hangsen VG RY2...

    2) Have just bought a Geek Vape Z50 and am amazed at the internal battery vape time - for a 2000mAh capacity it outlasts many of my 18650 devices.

    Aspire Rebranding

    What's the difference between a pod system and an AIO system ? Personally i think the Aspire Nautilus Prime is fantastic (have four of them) so would be happy to see something similar....

    Vaping stories from the good old days

    All of the first generation cig-a-likes that i tried were woeful. Don't get me wrong, i thought they were a fantastic idea but there was no way they could satisfy my nicotine craving. I remember using them, feeling underwhelmed and thinking that they were a gimmick - much like the plastic toy...

    Vaping stories from the good old days

    The excitement of a variable voltage eGo spinner battery becoming available -'you turn this knob and the voltage CHANGES' ... The unbelievable exhilaration of purchasing a mod with a screen and buttons. No matter the screen was the size of a corn kernel and the buttons had extra built-in...

    Brand new to DIY

    Flavour percentages in most recipes (not percentage of individual flavours but overall flavouring to base ratios) are very subjective. I have found that using around half of the total flavouring that's recommended works for me. It's easy enough to add more if required.... Buy some stick-on...

    Aspire Rebranding

    Well i'm certainly going to go out and buy some newly branded stuff... I don't want people laughing and pointing at me for using old gear :rolleyes:. Seriously - why bother with a re-brand of a product that has a reputation as being good anyway ? Looks ok ;)

    Smallest mod for 22 mm atomizers

    A lot of manufacturers prefer to release an 'updated' model rather than go down the firmware upgradeable route. For obvious reasons. And i agree that most updates were more of a gimmick than a benefit, even if they actually worked. ;)

    Smallest mod for 22 mm atomizers

    Two small mods i use regularly are the Eleaf Aster (probably the most ergonomic and comfortable thumb fire mod ever made) and the Jac Vapour DNA 75w. They aren't short but, by volume, are tiny. Every now and then you will see an Aster for sale in the bargain bins and the Jac Vapour is readily...
