    When will the kayfun posts stop?

    I would imagine all of the Kayfun posts will stop before the "Why should I buy a Provari" posts (G)....

    Has anyone tried quitting ecigarettes? Is it hard?

    With coffin nails lighting up was the second thing I did - right after getting dressed. With vaping its after I make the coffee, feed the dogs, etc. Much further down the list so IF there is a craving it is no where near as intense as cigarettes. Started at 24mg nic, fairly quick down to...

    Mt Baker - hit or miss, cheap, ultraspeed shipping, free samples, DIY

    I've settled on the stronger flavors...black licorice, green apple, teaberry, hazelnut coffee. Tried their peach - awful to me. steeped it for a month - still awful. Gave it to my neighbor -- he thought the same. He has since passed it on to someone else. Tried many of their other flavors...

    Why do 18650 batteries stop holding a charge

    I use 18490 in my Provari. 1.8 ohm coils, firing around 4.0 volts. At the rate I vape I get about twelve hours per battery. I generally don't wait until the PV starts blinking at me because of low battery too.

    If you could start vapeing all over again, what would you buy from the start?

    I started with 808 cig-alikes. They got me off coffin nails and I decided vaping was for me. Decided to quit screwing around and bought a Provari. No regrets.

    rope/cable/wire/wick cutters

    For wire I would use a cutoff wheel on a Dremel, but then I have a Dremel (G). Perhaps a pair of wire cutters? . Rest of the wicks I use a good pair of small scissors..

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

    Federal laws are generally just 'minimum guidelines' and States are free to add on/expand the the Federal law. Unless the state is doing something that the Feds don't like (an increasing list) and the Feds use the Supreme Court to overthrow what the state law is...

    IGO-L Question

    I use an IGO L, 1/16th inch drill bit for a mandrel, five wraps of 32 gauge Kanthal gives me about 1.8 ohms. Wick with cotton. Works very well with very little trouble when making the coil and wick. Pull the drip tip, eight drops of liquid and vape away. I generally just change juices on the...

    Tell my Dad Why he should get a Provari, don't say Just Because Lol

    It is a well made machine that gives a consistent vape for the entire charge of the battery. The threads are butter smooth. The 510 connector is made out of stainless steel and won't break or wear out. The manufacturer stands behind their product with a one year guarantee. If repairs are...

    Coil cleaning is awesome

    I have three hundred feet of Kanthal sitting here and I still burn my coils. Saves wearing out the screws and losing the darn things on the floor!

    How much did a pack of cigarettes coast when you started and how much when you switched?

    When I was in the military (long time ago) the "overseas" price for a carton was a buck. Last time I bought a pack of commercial cigs it was $7.00..then I went RYO...and now I vape and I'm free!!

    Any advice on how to deal with biased health care professionals?

    Vote with your wallet and go someplace else. I'm not perfect, not always right, but always ready to listen and learn and develop my own opinion. Just because someone has a piece of paper on the wall that says they have a license to do something doesn't make them God. I've told more than one...

    WHO plans to regulate e-cigarettes in same way as normal tobacco

    I think it would be a good idea to defund the U.N. and start charging them rent on the building we provide. Getting tired of shelling out money to so many 'organizations' that want to run my life...let them worry about their own countries, not mine! Mods are certainly requested to delete this...

    Well. That sucks. And payday is 2 weeks away

    Not wishing to rub it in, but I have two one hundred foot spools of Kanthal coming from TEMCO at a total price of $10.02.. I would be happy to share if you were local but...

    Medical Condition Caused by Provari?

    Rotate the Provari 180 degrees and fire it with your index finger. This will give your thumb time to heal up!

    I guess it sucks to be relegated to the leper colony when you are no longer a leper?

    B&M vs Internet, a dilemma

    A good local B&M is a rare bird. They have taken the time to help you at start of your vaping career. If their markup seems fair to you and they aren't out to shaft you like so many B&M's I've heard about -- support them and buy from them. A couple of extra bucks shouldn't hurt you, and when...

    Delaware does it right... for now

    It's just a number using their definition, whatever that may be. If they use the word "tried" as equal to "used" then that makes a major difference. How many things have you "tried" something and never did it again? If a student "tried" a cigarette but did not start smoking by their...
