    Social acceptance of vaping

    For smokers there is only one comment worth making; 'Uhuh, come back to me to discuss vaping after your diagnosis'.....

    Information and predictions about the European Union Vaping Excise

    Anyone surprised by this would be considered naive by any standards. Governments need tax revenue. Tax on cigarettes is being lost so governments have two choices - tax everyone a little or tax vapers a bit more. Whilst there is still misinformation regarding the health aspects of vaping...

    Best unflavored e-juice with no throat hit w/o diacetyl?

    I'm at a loss as to your ultimate aim. You want to vape but don't want it to feel like you're vaping ? You want to inhale e-liquid but don't want to feel or taste that you are doing so ? I genuinely don't get it but the answer is obvious - don't vape. Wear a nicotine patch.

    Anyone try ordering from Fasttech since the shipping ban?

    .....I've got tons of coils, mesh, wick and similar stuff coming... and some lightbulbs, because I'm a flake: Tacky, tacky, tacky. Oh dear ! I also liked the look of those bulbs and ordered a pair. They arrived pretty quickly. That's the end of the good news. I plugged them in and awaited the...

    One of the best tanks in the vaping industry -- Innokin Zenith

    Awesome coils and a good MTL tank...... but....... Am i in the minority that consider the Zlide a much better tank than the Zenith ? Either way - these are the only tanks i use now when i don't want to rebuild.

    can not get it to work

    Hi tania. I also bought something that stopped working once - it was quite annoying. I too tried hitting it and was perplexed that it still refused to work. When i contacted the manufacturer they had the cheek to ask me what the device was called. My answer was that if they didn't know what it...

    Flavourings expiration date

    Tobaccos often taste better to me a year or two after they have expired ! I've had mixed results with fruit flavourings, some are fine after 3-4 years and some seem to lose all the flavour after a couple of years. I have Pipesauce pre-made liquids that are well over 5 years out of date and taste...

    Flavors anyone?

    What flavouring manufacturers try to achieve is to isolate and then artificially create the particular 'chemical' that replicates what constitutes the 'flavour' of a thing.. Everything is made of 'chemicals'. The reason they do this is because they do not want the rest of the stuff that is found...

    How Many Watts Do You Vape At And What Is Your Build?

    15W on a 1.5ohm coil, 5-6 wraps of 0.3mm kanthal (whatever gauge that is)..non spaced mostly, depending what mood i'm in or if i can be bothered to find my glasses when i rebuild. Quite frankly i am disgusted with myself - i used to be content with 7-8 watts back in the day. :(;)

    What is the 5% bad in vaping if it's 95% safer than smoking?

    Or could it be interpreted as meaning you will only become 5% ill from vaping whereas smoking is 100% guaranteed to cause illness..... I don't even know what 5% ill means :D It's all meaningless and not really quantifiable until someone can point to a dead body and truthfully say 'this was...

    What are your nic strengths?

    You have to take into account the fact that, for longterm vapers, the early equipment available was pretty dire. I started out on 24mg nicotine but the amount of vapour produced from a clearomiser on an Ego battery was mimimal. Technology has evolved to the point that the amount of vapour...

    What a difference on the other side of the Atlantic...

    It's beyond comprehension the vitriol aimed at vaping in the US. It woud be easy to say 'follow the money' but even that doesn't justify or explain the draconian measures currently in play. . . I think it's just the fact that vaping has been made into a political agenda. Everyone trying to prove...

    How to reduce harshness?

    Hell, i steep my DIY RY2 for six months, I also use no more than 5% flavouring. Any more than 5% is overwhelming.. After 6 months the flavour is well rounded and sweeter. As for the 'harshness', you may find that it's an ingredient in the flavouring - if that's the case there wont be a lot you...

    New day starts to vape

    P2PLeon, your posts are not about vaping, they are simply a diary of your life with references to vaping included so that you can justify posting on a vaping site. My advice would be to find a more appropriate forum that may be able to genuinely help you. Good luck on your quest for...

    Why 21700...?

    Yeh, i bought a couple of the SLs- maybe that was colouring my thoughts. Now i think of it some of the issues i've had have been with '21700' flashlights... Now i'm going to have to try every mod and battery configuration just to prove to myself i wasn't imagining it....;) . . Surprisingly one...

    Why 21700...?

    The only downside i've found so far in 21700s is the actual diameter of the different cells. The tolerance on mods designed for 21700 batteries can be pretty tight and i've come across a couple of device/battery combinations that wont work. Some manufacturers take the '21' bit of the designation...

    ProVarinati Diner & Saloon and Beyond

    I've just discovered the Innokin Go s tanks - perfect for the Provari 2/2.5. Pretty much the only reason i stopped using the old tapered tops was the lack of a suitable tank. I feel liberated. I feel empowered. I feel vindicated. I FEEL FREE !!
