    Nicotine Possibly Causing Anxiety and Panic Atacks.

    Hey this same thing happened to me sans the trip to the E.R. Scared the living crap out of me and continues to plague me now for 3 days. At least until I dropped from 15mg to 6. at 6 I have this happen far far less. Anyway, the sublingual you are taking isn't a zinc or zinc-centric item is...

    Need help de-funking this

    Ok I'm another that's adding to your list. And I'm certain it is the nicotine....well almost certain. I'm a hardcore vaper and nic-addict. I can vape 18mg and dip at the same time and generally stop when I get nic-sick (nausea, that green feeling). I've been vaping my heart out (no pun...

    3.7v Mechanical non-bottom button mod

    Personally, I think of a mechanical mod as being one that isn't regulated in the least. Wires don't concern me in this case...

    3.7v Mechanical non-bottom button mod

    Excellent. I was hoping someone would post some mods I hadn't heard of yet. The Silverbullet is such a classic but I already own a Bolt and the SB just doesn't look that much different than a Bolt when you get down to it and for the price, well, the Bolt won in my case. I'm really wanting...

    3.7v Mechanical non-bottom button mod

    What are some good mods that aren't VV, are 3.7v and aren't bottom button. Bottom on the side like the GG is fine but I don't really care for the bottom button. I've only ever used a bottom button once so maybe I'd change my mind with a good one? Anyway, list away....:)

    Those are pretty slick, thanks.

    Is the best wicking material ss mesh?

    I find SS mesh to be relatively crappy wicking material. It's great coil substrate as its burn temp is so high but as far as wicking liquid vertically I haven't been impressed. From my experiences the denser you make the wick, the better it performs. It's still going to be porous without the...

    Nicest mods list

    So, I'm in the position to buy a really nice mod. I don't really want to spend over $160 or so, so Zen's are out. I use rebuildables mainly and would like a hybrid but a hybrid isn't necessary. I typically use a 3.7 mechanical mod as I hear regulated mods can have issues with 1ohm or lower...

    Did Clone Tutorial (genesis style)

    Just an update on my .anti-mesh screw-it' rant earlier in this thread. As per usual, I'm watching youtube vids and get inspired to try mesh but not to wick juice up from the tank but to use it as per usual...to drip on ( I hate saying 'drip' because I put 10 drops in there (0.5ml) ). Basically...

    Did Clone Tutorial (genesis style)

    Lol they're bouncy things eh? I lost mine as well. If you tear apart a carto, there is a silicon rubber ring around the center pole that fits perfectly but the inner diameter is a bit large for the pole. I then used teflon tape around the pole to shore that up till it was tight.

    Did Clone Tutorial (genesis style)

    Ask and ye ..... This is pretty much the same setup for the phoenix except for the routing of the wick ends. Also, this process isn't foolproof but it's pretty close I think (or maybe I'm just very very used to it). *Get cotton yarn, white, from walmart. It's yarn. It's not string or...

    Did Clone Tutorial (genesis style)

    Are you trying the rolling paper method? Since using that, my shorting issues have vanished. Still the occasional hot coil at top going into the center post but shortening that fixes it most of the time. When I wrap the coil around the wick, I orientate the coil like this if you're looking down...

    Did Clone Tutorial (genesis style)

    This video is GREAT. So the small holes looked like it produced the same as the large hole except with the large hole you could see the vapor falling versus the 3 holes flying out at pressure. At least that's how it looks to me.

    Did Clone Tutorial (genesis style)

    I think you're overworking things. All I've been doing is: *Cut the mesh, fold 1/16 of the long edge over onto itself (this will be the edge on the *out*side of the wick) *Torch the mesh entirely once. Wait 5 seconds, torch again, wait 5, torch again. *Roll mesh starting from the non-folded...

    Did Clone Tutorial (genesis style)

    I like the machine sCrew [ ;) ] idea myself. I wish I had a second cap to drill holes all in it symmetrically, plug them then unplug specific ones to try better air shapes.

    Did Clone Tutorial (genesis style)

    I'm just now starting to go over this thread but your clouds are small because you are probably screwing the cap on all the way. The hole doesn't line up with the wick, out of the box (why!??!) I made a mark on the body where the wick is so I can align the hole over the wick. Anywhere else, and...

    Did Clone Tutorial (genesis style)

    *THIS* is what I wanted to hear. I understand that under some circumstances where you are running .8 ohms, a bored ouy airhole, etc that you can really run through some liquid and some wicks might have a time keeping up but come on...the idea that all genesis style attys have to be tilted sounds...

    Did Clone Tutorial (genesis style)

    Glad it's not just me. I've been using cotton in my phoenix since I got it. I was intending on using mesh in some fashion but didn't have the cash and cotton was working so well it wasn't a big deal. I just got the DID mini clone, some mesh and some more 28awg kanthal. After making 5 wicks and...

    Phoenix tips

    Oh yeah. That's a great idea. That's particularly handy to know when you want to make a 3 strand wick. If you double a length of wick, you essentially have 2. You can't double and pull through a number to yield you 3 wicks although you could pull 4 through, cut the loop and pull one out... I...
