    How many backup parts are necessary?

    Two PV's, three batteries, two chargers, a couple of toppers depending on the type you like. I would look at this as a minimum 'just in case' scenario. In my 'ready service' rack, I have an AGA T2 (rebuildable tank), an IGO L (rebuildable dripper), two Vivi Nova tanks (also rebuildable), a...

    Micro Coils to increase Vapor, flavor & TH

    I picked up a spool of 30 gauge a month or so ago...next coil I make will be that gauge. Might be a few more months before I "have" to make a coil (big grin)!!

    Would you still buy a ProVari if Big Tobacco acquired ProVape?

    To be honest, if BT bought out the present owners of ProVape, and continued making the Provaris at the same location and to the same high standards I would buy from them. If they just took the name and plans, outsourced to Asia with the standard requirement of "Make it like this but as cheaply...

    Micro Coils to increase Vapor, flavor & TH

    Using a 1/16th inch drill bit, 32 gauge kanthal, cotton on an IGO-L. Dripped some RY4 into it..not crazy about it..decided to rewick/dry burn to get the taste out of the IGO. Popped the top, wick was just laying there, had burned through some time in the past. Coil was excessively crudded up...

    Whats the best gauge wire

    32 gauge, 1/16th inch drill bit, five wraps give me 1.8 ohms. The higher gauge number of the wire gives you a higher resistance so you can use less wire (yielding a shorter coil width) which will fit into the protank without worries of it shorting against the side of the coil..

    E Cig users may be penalized through health insurance....

    May? Perhaps you joke? Its like you may get wet if you stand outside in a rain storm (G). I would say it is guaranteed!

    How vaping got blacklisted where I work

    People who know me don't consider me PC. When talking to the person with the poorly considered action, I would use his new name, as in "Thanks, ...***e".

    Cost of FDA approval and a way to bypass it for mod makers ???

    Why not. They raised the loose cigarette tobacco tax from $2.50/lb to $25.00/lb (approximation) because of the money they were losing to RYO. So the RYO producers relabeled it as 'pipe tobacco'. Even though a pipe smoker wouldn't classify it as such, it stymied the intent of the law...

    Is anyone else tire of arguing with friends about the "dangers" of vaping?

    People need reasons (true or not true - doesn't matter) to look down on other people. It goes with their inferiority complex (g). You have governments/organizations/businesses funding imperiled by vaping. Ask the smoker how much tax he is paying on that pack of smokes, then laugh at him. Then...

    FDA Support Thread For FDA Worries

    Hope for the best, prepare for the worst! Learn to DIY juice, make your own coils, get some good mods that will last. Stock up on supplies..most (all?) of what you buy will last for years except for batteries. Anyone know how long you can expect LiIon batteries to last in the freezer??? If the...

    New York's E-Liquid Ban Ludicrous

    If you are a resident of the state, find out who supported the bill/law. Write their names down. If they are one of your elected representatives, and you don't feel they are representing your interests, figure out which other candidate has the best chance to defeat them, and vote for that...

    Micro Coils to increase Vapor, flavor & TH

    Helluva thing when the only reason to build a new coil is that you are bored! I've got the same problem!!!

    What are you doing in regards to the recent legal issues?

    I prep and am into DIY liquids/coils. I e-mail my reps and also phone them just to irritate them (on the few occasions that I actually get to talk with them instead of an intern/flunky). If the sky doesn't fall I'll just pass on my extra stuff to my neighbor. If it does I won't be surprised!!!

    What to Expext After Quitting Analogs

    If it wasn't for vaping my circulatory system might have packed it in entirely. One of the problems of getting old and not being invulnerable like when I was young!

    Considering we don't know the long term effects, we should ban this.

    I'll talk to my lobbyists to see what it will cost to get some pols on our side to move this concept forward. "Its for the children!" because they have to pay off the national debt..

    e-liquid is a "tobacco product"

    Not at all baffled. Labeling it as a 'tobacco product" makes it easy to classify. A "tobacco product" is only allowed to be used in certain places by 'adults', to be sold under state purchased licenses, users can be legally vilified by the majority of the population, gives non-smokers that...

    Provari V2.5 with vents on the cap

    I bought one ProTank 2. Problems as others have noted. I fiddled with it ($25.00 for something that didn't work well). Bought a replacement base. Still unimpressive. I was thinking about Dremelling some additional grooves in my Provaris just to run this tank, then realized why bother...

    FDA to propose rule on ecigarettes Monday 4-28-2014

    I believe the Arab world has a saying about this: "Once the camel gets its nose in the tent, the rest soon follows".
