    How many have quit smoking from vaping

    Me too!!!!! There are no published statistics because the powers that be don't allow them because they are all "anecdotal evidence" and don't make what they are selling <cough> Chantex <cough> look good..

    How Do You Now Spend the Money You Formerly Spent on Cigarettes

    Towards the end of my coffin nail addiction I was doing RYO. Two pounds of cheap tobac, five boxes of tubes, around $50.00. That would get me around five weeks of feeding my addiction. Right now have a Provari so I don't get mod envy, rebuilding my coils, have the stuff to DIY for liquid...

    looking for a good RDA with a glass liquid tank...

    My AGA T2 came with a glass tank. I use a cotton wick with it and drip when I want a break from my IGO L.

    Just drag the tip of a sharp syringe across a piece of sandpaper or equivalent a couple of times and it will be dull (g).

    Have you become a lazy vaper?

    Not lazy, but perhaps I have an easily reached level of contentment (g). Been using an IGO L as I sit at my computer. Rebuilt a few coils, have the meters, a hundred feet of Kanthal, lighted magnifier (old eyes), cotton balls, etc. This coil in the IGO is probably about a month old with...

    Question about IGO-L or the IGO-W

    Kanthal wire. 100 feet, $5.48 SHIPPED! Other sizes available of course. I've done business with them before and it doesn't get any better for speed and quality and price! Kanthal Wire 30 Gauge RW0107 - 100 FT 0.39oz Series A-1 Resistance AWG

    Ohm Meters out there - which one is the best

    I bought one of those 808/510 units that take two AA bats. Works well enough for me, reads to the hundredth decimal point and agrees with the readout on my Provari and my analog multi-meter. The circuit board on the inside says "madvapes" on it if that is any help.

    Somebody please stop me!!!

    There is something very wrong with this thread. I see a REO recommended which is a very fine 'dripper' mod. But no one mentioned a Provari! I went through two 808 starter sets then bought the Provari. I have no reason/need/desire to buy another mod. Well, maybe a REO, and of course another...

    RBA or RDA for noob suggestions

    I have an IGO L (RDA) and an AGA T 2 (RBA). Both work very well for me. Most of my vaping is with the IGO. Drip a bunch of different flavors, when I get a flavor that won't go away (like licorice), I pull the old cotton wick and toss it, dry burn the coil, re-wick, and I'm back in business in...

    Why do people seem anxious for you to quit vaping, too?

    I just figure that their pointing out that you are still a complete and utter failure and loser by not 'quitting' makes their shi$$y lives a little better to live through and increases their sense of self-worth by looking down on you. You've quit the coffin nails. You are a winner. Anything...

    How many Provari's are too many?

    I don't know about 'too' many, but I'm thinking 'two' for a minimum! I'm ordering a back up for Christmas!

    Best Kanthal Wire Gauge

    Gauge of the wire, diameter of the finished coil, and number of wraps all affect the ohms (resistance) of the finished coil. Same diameter and same number of wraps with a higher gauge wire will give you more ohms resistance. 32 gauge is more than twice the resistance per inch of 28 gauge...

    The Secret to Getting your next ProVari

    I should get off so cheap! Refrigerator died. Go shopping with wife. She gets the big eyes about one with french doors. I tell her it is smaller than what died. She wants it anyway. Delivered today. She can't fit all she wants in it. It's my fault. Seventeen hundred bucks. That's what...
