    Ecigs and oral health

    My dentist has recommended once yearly checks instead of my previous twice a year checks when i was smoking... He also told me on my last check up (and xray) that my gums are in perfect condition. This surprised him because with my heart problems i should be showing some signs of gum disease. In...

    Any brits here ordered high end RTA's from the states had any problems?

    Not an attie but.... I ordered a ProVari from Provape for $30. Bargain. Shipping $40, hmm ok. Customs charges added another £24. My $30 ProV ended up costing me $106......

    Does high VG juice burn faster?

    A lot of Hangsen liquids are 80PG - used to be the norm with silica wick clearos...... If i tried an 80/20 in a modern clearo i think i'd cough my lungs out !

    Slightly brown cotton close to heating wire

    Conversely i have had a strong burnt taste from my vape and upon checking the cotton found no evidence of burning. Pristine white cotton.... Just throwing that into the mix ! OP - it's normal, don't panic.

    Problems with Eleaf Pico??

    OK, to sum up; OP - sounds like a 510 issue, try gently cleaning the connector and ensure the 510 pin isn't jammed down. RedRobin - you are talking about a different/non existant device, bow out now. Anyone who advocates using onboard usb charging on a removable battery device - Ok, but a caveat...

    Bellus Spitback

    Yeh, tried 30w and got the occasional dry hit when i was chain vaping. It's always a compromise between too much and not enough, hard to get it just right. Still one of the best atties i've got though.

    Bellus Spitback

    Run mine at 25w (0.35 ohms) with no spitting issues. I use 70% VG. It's probably the liquid viscosity. Mine leaks a drop or two every time i fill it but i put that down to the laws of physics... :)

    The Unofficial Equipment of the Year Poll for 2016

    Pico and iCare for me. Pico for the form factor - the smallest 18650 mass production mod and the iCare for an automatic that works and satisfies. Cheap and innovative.... IMHO everything else is a re-hash of what's gone before. Tanks ? All of a muchness (glorified clearos mainly) although the...

    Another Mod has died

    I own 40+ mods (from original 15w Vamos to DNA mods) and have been using most of them a looong time. The only two that have ceased to function are a Provari 2.5 (after 12 months)and an ipv D2 (after 6 weeks).. Sometimes it's user error and sometimes it's just unlucky. Hopefully, OP, your next...

    The Truth and Science behind Ceramic Coils

    Scrape or agitate any dry wicking material and particles will be released. Silica, Cotton, Blue Foam, Ceramic, even SS mesh. All that proves is everything has a degree of friability. The real questions are 'are particles released when VAPING and are the particles HARMFUL' ? I have seen...

    The Truth and Science behind Ceramic Coils

    Hmmmm. Sounds very pseudo-sciencey, i particurlarly like the questionaire at the end asking if you would buy ceramic coils after reading the articles. Maybe if enough people answer yes then they may change their minds in regards the 'dangers' (or develop a wonderful new type of ceramic that...

    vaping causing gas, just to verify..

    Still trying to work out if it's vaping that causes my IBS (started at the same time i started vaping) or if it's an age related intolerance to chillis and beans. Watch this space. :cry:

    Day 4 off cancer sticks! Curious about some things...

    Congrats to you. You will notice the difference in a month or two. The process is gradual but one day a smoker will get near you and the stink will hit you like a ton of bricks. Then you'll know how much better youre sense of smell is. WARNING. At some point you'll also discover that certain...

    Magical non-addictive nicotine! Or is somebody's nose getting longer?

    If nicotine was as addictive as generally presumed there would be no reason to smoke. Nicotine is available in gum, patches, e-liquid and naturally occuring in a plethora of flora. Cigarette smoking is addictive, not nicotine. Antz contradict themselves with every other statement. Probably.

    For all you who don't build coils yet and don't want to

    My eyesight has really gone down-hill the past 18 months. Even my glasses are no good for up close work now. I started coiling 3 years ago and now do it pretty much by feel. It's like muscle memory when re-coiling a Kayfun...... Now that i think about it, that may be the reason why i stick to...

    Please critique my fasttech cart

    OK, don't want to appear to be a FT detractor but if you look at GB right now they are selling off Kayfun clones at $5 each...... Has to be worth a look.

    No more TPD in the UK?

    I was going to be a single issue voter - i voted leave because of the TPD. Although it wasn't that simple; the way the TPD was implemented gave me an insight into how the EU decision making process was corrupt and flawed. So maybe not a single issue voter but the TPD opened my eyes....

    How many different Vape setups do you use in a day?

    When i started vaping i owned 2 mods and around a dozen clearomisers each with a different flavour. Clearos, gennies and cartos where all that was available and CE4 type clearos could be had for $2 a pop...In those days i owned a LavaTube ($60) and a Provari ($180)... Nowadays i have (just...
