    Tank/Clearo recommendations? (preferably glass)

    I've read a lot of comments on how one batch of replacement coils are good, next batch is garbage. Look into rebuilding your own. Not really that hard, a little bit of a learning curve though. For ten bucks you can get all the supplies you need to get going!!

    Hate to ask this ?

    Would that be the 'rattlesnake' sound I've heard talked about that is caused by the chip's frequency?

    New with ProVarii questions!

    Smoked for more than 40 years. Started with 24mg, then dropped down to 18mg. Right now I start the day at 18mg to get my nic level up then drop to 12mg or less the rest of the day. The idea of vaping is to get off of the coffin nails...let your body tell you what it wants for nicotine and...

    Support group needed!!

    I managed to resist the siren call and just have two. Always need a backup, and I'm not that greedy to have one of every color (g)..

    Fasttech and Ironic Stuation

    Watching the news today, the U.S.'s Mars vehicle is still going after ten years. Three months was its expected life. Last I heard, the Chinese moon lander wasn't working properly shortly after landing. Any one else hear anything further? I'm pretty sure that they have all of our plans/specs...

    Tsunami E-liquids?

    I picked up three from my local shop on a whim. Tried them in a dripper..all awful. After a month steeping they were still awful and gave them away. I presume it was my taste buds, as if they were all that bad to other people they wouldn't be for sale (g)..

    Made the jump to RBA clones- the Kayfun Black Edition! Forgot to buy wick/coil... Help?

    I use a 1/16th drill bit for a mandrel, 32 gauge Kanthal, cotton wick. Get about 1.8 ohms with five wraps. There is an extensive thread about micro coils in the rebuildable forum (900 plus posts) that is truly excellent. That little black ohm reader works well for twenty bucks and also gives...

    Mt baker vapor

    Good company, good product. Been ordering Teaberry and Green Apple from them as two suggestions. Their Hazelnut Coffee will curl your toes flavor-wise. Only one I didn't care for was their Peach. Odd chemical flavor/taste to me. After a month steeping I tossed it.

    Micro coil troubles - 10 wraps, 32g kanthal, 1/16" = 6.4 ohms?!

    I'm using a 1/16th drill bit, 32 gauge, cotton. Five wraps will give me about 1.8 ohms resistance. Measured with a 45 year old analog meter (g), a black plastic $20.00 808/510 meter, and my Provari. One thought is that your screws holding the coil legs aren't tight? Here is a quick chart...

    The biggest Issues

    I would like acceptance by the general public. Get the hobby legally away from those who's main interest in running their anti e-cig campaigns (and businesses) is to line their own pockets.

    Provari league mods

    I have two Provaris. Quite happy with them. I also drive Fords. I understand that there are people that like Chryslers and Lexuses? Everyone has opinions, I'll leave out the anatomical reference about 'stink'. Read up on the forums for what ever device you are interested in, see what...

    Are you prepared to Vape through the storm?

    Have three 490 batteries all set to go. Dropped my son off at work this AM, way back home vis dropped to about 100 yards with heavy snow. Stiff north breeze, snow horizontal. Waiting for it to stop to get out the snowthrower. Snow has been mighty pretty, but I'm thinking green would be mighty...

    Saving BIG money on vaping vs smoking > check this out

    Another thing to think about. When you're done for the day vaping, the only thing gone is the juice. You still have all of the expensive hardware left. With cigarettes, all of your money went up in smoke and all you have left are dirty ash trays and stink!

    RBA question for a Provari

    Another vote for the IGO L. I have a KFun clone, AGA T2, Vivi Nova v2.5 (plastic tank), an IGO L, and a carto with Latakia flavored juice (g) sitting in my rack. I generally have a dozen plus different juices and I drip 8 drops into the IGO and vape away. Then grab another bottle, vape...

    can anyone else in Minnesota (or other very cold mid west areas) relate to this right now?

    I smoked coffin nails for more than 40 years. All of my shirts have a pocket - even the T's. PV goes into the pocket, I suit up depending on how cold the weather is. Reach into my coat/insulated coveralls, vape, and put it back. Have to keep it warm! Insulators, O-rings, etcetera shrink...

    When to Stock Up?

    The only true thing that they will be able to control/tax excessively would be nicotine. I store mine in a chest freezer in the basement -- even the wife doesn't know what is in that freezer (g). Perhaps in the future I'll be vaping zero nic juices but I'm still stock piling 100mg nic. I...

    Micro Coils to increase Vapor, flavor & TH

    Now there is some thinking outside the box! I'm suddenly developing all sorts of Rube Goldberg ideas to replace my "stick the drill bit in a big piece of wood, hold the bitter end with my fore finger and wrap" way of doing it. NO sarcasm intended!!!!
