    Wicking a 4/40 screw Vivi Nova coil...question

    May I recommend experimenting? You can try forming the coil around the wick using a needle to keep it 'stiff' as you wrap the coil. Use one piece of wick through the coil and another on the top. I myself use cotton through the coil which works fine for me..

    Tobacco surcharge may be applied to ecigarettes

    Tobacco is a win/win for the various governments. They tax and vilify the smoker. This state has $3.18 per pack in specific and direct tax (Federal, state, state sales tax on the tax!). Add in various taxes such as real estate tax paid by the farmer up to income tax paid by the clerk in the...

    So here's the problem with the media and America.

    The media reports what the people who sign their paychecks want. Welcome to reality. Also, there is no known cure for stupidity.

    Do you still trust your Dr.? Re: Chantix

    When I was a young tad, I realized that my mother would lie to me if she thought it was to my benefit. Once you realize that you can't trust your mother 100 percent where does that leave anyone else? I tried quitting cigs and failed miserably every time. Even with some dip maintaining my nic...

    Atomizer holder/base for rebuilding.. What is this thing called and where to get one??

    I just use one of those little black plastic ohm checkers. Stable and you kill two birds with one stone! Build the coil then immediately check it to see if you have to modify it before use..

    30 gauge vs 32 gauge and wrapping coils and battery questions

    The higher the number (and smaller the diameter) the more resistance there is. Depending on how much room there is for a finished coil and wether you want the coil to heat up faster (higher resistance) will help your decision on what size wire to use. I make a micro-coil using a 1/16th inch...

    Besides Vaping, what are the fav things you spend $$ on?

    Have three dachshunds. Took the oldest two into the vet. Annual checkups, nail trimming etc. That plus flea & tick meds, heartworm meds for all three was $475.00. I also notice that my wife has been spending money on groceries (g)..

    What size Kanthol/wick?

    I like micro coils with 32 gauge and cotton on my toppers. Usually five wraps to give me about 1.8 ohms so the coil is small enough to fit into my Vivi Nova heads without worrying about the coil shorting against the sides of the head. Generally last for months without any problems other than...

    Glass top coil clearo?

    I've been using an AGA T2 for awhile. Works well for me, though you have to build your own coils. Tried a ProTank 2 just to get the glass tank. Had poor draw on my PV and quite a bit of flooding -- into the emergency/give away/junk box! A kayfun clone also works for me but no glass tank I'm...

    Would you go back to smoking if liquid costed more than cigarettes?

    No. I suffered enough for the many times I tried to quit. Discovered e-cigs and the chains were broken. Also a long time pipe smoker -- probably have fifty pounds of pipe tobacco cellared. Don't smoke my pipes any more either. No desire. Nic is addictive (so is sugar) but I don't have the...

    What do you want to see on a version III ProVari?

    May be trivial but (G). Menu order. I constantly swap toppers and check the Ohms even though most of my coils are made at 1.8 ohms. I would like to see "AO" and "CB" closer to the top of the menu please!

    The rare legitimate question for provari owners.

    Long time smoker, a multi-failer at quitting. A nice person on a pipe smoking forum recommended a start up kit and provided a source and the URL for this board. So I started with an 808 cig-alike. Got off cigs. Ordered another 808 kit (more MAH). Read through the forums on recommendations...

    What a good top coil with glass tank?

    Oh darn! Just ordered five more Vivi Novas the other day! I like a top coil, never had a leaking problem with the Vivi. Easy to rebuild...but I wanted a glass tank. Have the replacement metal tanks. Also use a Kayfun clone, Aga T2, IGO L, and a POS ProTank 2..and cartos..and clearos...When...

    The end of vaping? A reddit thread really scared me!

    It MAY just be "The sky is falling!" per Chicken Little. Or it may be a portent of things to come (g). The hobby of vaping is fighting against the pharmacy companies, the 'anti-cancer' organizations, governments who are scared of losing their cigarette/tobacco revenues, the media which likes...

    Pipe smoker looking to try vaping

    Long time smoker. Started smoking back in 67 (g). Mainly cigs when out and about but a pipe at home. If you're like me you have 100 plus pipes racked and a fair amount of tobacco stashed. I started vaping last June, haven't had a cig since. I started noticing that I wasn't pipe smoking as...

    Vapor.. everything sexy about smoking without the nastiness of smoke

    Smoking isn't sexy, vaping isn't sexy. Sophia Loren (and other women) is/are sexy. There, I've said it!
