    New Youde RTA the Bellus

    I always try to line the coils up with the airflow hole, so you can see the middle of th coil in the middle of the airflow hole. I understand others perfer to have the coil raised slightly higher than this, so it comes down to personal preference in the end.

    Dropped my 18650 battery!

    @tenacious The battery looks fine. Just a slight scuff on the wrapper. I wouldn't worry. That said I'm viewing a photo on a small screened phone. If there is a tear in the wrapper where any metal is exposed then it will need re-wrapping. You're better placed to judge this than me. What...

    Wire Mail by FastTech

    Ahh, I've vaguely heard about NR-R-NR wire, but never understood what it's for? Is all Nichrome in this format? Why do the connections need to be NR wire?

    Wire Mail by FastTech

    What are welded wires? Is this something I should be hoarding? I know, but I had to stop buying their Koh Gen Doh as I have 40 packets, which is probably a life times supply. Lol. Lol. I know I had to part peel a few with my finger nail just to see what gauge the wire was. Then again if...

    Lost Vape EFusion DNA200

    @DEK62 Sorry to hear of your bad luck. Hope you get the replacement soon. Be sure to get the latest version of Escibe on you Efusion and load the Evolv Efusion profile, to ensure it runs properly. The ones I've seen shipped without the manufacturer settings.

    Verified Membership

    I looked into it a while back. My eBay account has been dormant for quite a few years, my PayPal account is registered in the UK and I'm in Malaysia, and all my utility bills are in my landlords name as I'm renting. Shame, I'd really of liked to access the classifieds, but doesn't look like it...

    Batteries

    Would be nice if some enterprising vape company made a little box you could plug your 18650 into and get a battery health reading.

    Shelf life of nicotine

    @Rossum Yes, we are in complete agreement. What I mean by no nicotine degradation is that, having tested the nic base every two months, the nicotine strength had not diminished although the nic base was completely unusable in terms of flavour and harshness. It's all in the thread I linked...

    Shelf life of nicotine

    You might want to read the below thread about my experience with storing nicotine in sub-optimum conditions (room temperature). Nic Base Storage - Sub Optimum Conditions The conclusion I came to is that although there is virtually no nicotine degradation, over a six month period the oxidation...

    Weird Knot and Hair Stuck in Throat Feeling?

    I only vape DIY unflavoured @ 12mg, usually between 24-35 watts. I noticed that when I used some old nicotine base that had oxidised and turned a deep yellow, not only had the flavour profile changed to an unpleasant tobacco/nicotine flavour, but it also became more harsh. With this harshness...

    traveling via dubai. please help .. where to put things.

    It's possible the checked in bags will stay in the airport, but in my experience unlikey on a 21hr layover. Most airlines will assume that you are going to need your luggage during the 21hrs, and arrange for you to collect it in th tranist airport, and re-check it for the second leg. In my...

    traveling via dubai. please help .. where to put things.

    It wasn't a contradiction, what I'm saying is it doesn't matter if he hand carries or puts it in th checked bags. I'm guessing he will b taking both his hand carry and checked bags out of the airport, and at that point he is breaking UAE law. I'd advise against this. At the very least I'd...

    Posting pictures for dummies (me)

    If the Note has a edit option try cropping the picture. That's what I do on my Blackberry. Take the shot, edit - crop, and upload.

    traveling via dubai. please help .. where to put things.

    It's a pain, but I think it's quite clear: Batteries = Hand carry (This is a global requirement) Mod/RDA/Juice = Hand Carry or Checked In, but as illegal in UAE will be confiscated when leaving the airport. Unless your sibling is willing to wait in the airport for 21 hours (unlikely) it...

    Help with Dripper recommendations Please :) ?

    @Hans Wermhat That's correct the Petri takes a standard 510 drip tip. I believe @edyle was just talking about the convenience of being able to remove the top cap, which comes in very handy for dripping and inspecting both cotton and build. Perhaps the Petri should be classed as chuff cap...

    Do you ever relapse?

    Get yourself a drinking setup that runs at a higher power than your usual setups, and fill it with juice that's 6mg stronger than usual. Keep vaping your usual setup until the drink is causing cravings, then switch over. I got the drink induced cravings during my first few months of vaping...
