    Wraps/Grips for an istick

    Hey gang, quick question for you all; so a bit ago I ordered an istick 50W, which I quickly feel head over heels in love with, of course, until a short week-and-a-half later when it slipped out of my hand yet again, this time landing on the concrete and not so much as turning on again since. I...

    Very disappointed with sub ohm vaping!

    I haven't gotten into sub-ohm vaping yet, so I can't comment there. What I can comment on is in general moving from smaller cloud sizes to larger ones (ie the transition from ego style batteries to more powerful mod) and I have found that while the nic levels can be lowered with larger hits...

    I Think I'm Dumb (or maybe just happy)

    So I just ordered 2 5ml Nautilus tanks, 2 generic tank airflow controllers (the kanger ones definitely only work with PT2, PT3, and Aero), and 2 replacement BVC coils for the Nautilus tanks. Wish me luck. Based on the price I'm hoping those coils have a serious lifespan. Very excited to try...

    I Think I'm Dumb (or maybe just happy)

    I'm looking at the kanger airflow controllers (I actually added them to my cart the last I order I placed) but I didn't get them because it says they work with protank 2 and 3, but doesn't say anything about working with the original model. Do you guys know if they will work with basic...

    I Think I'm Dumb (or maybe just happy)

    How do you guys feel about the Aspire Nautilus? They're on sale where I get a lot of my hardware. I've heard a lot of good things, they have a built-in airflow control system which seems like it could help. The only reason I'm thinking about moving into higher volts/watts is because I get the...

    iStick 50W

    I got mine through smoktek, and am definitely happy with what I paid, but since eleaf is the manufacturer, if the price is right I can't imagine there's any downside to ordering from them

    I Think I'm Dumb (or maybe just happy)

    Yeah, for the most part I'm happy, I've been looking into buying some new tanks, but I have to really justify that to myself (and Mrs. lefty23, who is much harder to convince) but now I at least know what I'm really investing in and why. Definitely more than happy with my mod, and in general...

    I Think I'm Dumb (or maybe just happy)

    The relationship between ohms, watts, and volts is not lost on; I understand that when I adjust the volts I'm raising (or loweriing) the wattage output and that if I were in VW mode adjusting the wattage would in turn adjust the voltage needed to achieve that and how the ohm resistance fits in...

    I Think I'm Dumb (or maybe just happy)

    Ok. So it sounds like it's all about the topper

    I Think I'm Dumb (or maybe just happy)

    Oh, duh, the two volts are the same number, my bad. So there's definitely something else I'm missing. I know for a fact that other people aren't tasting what I am when I go too high above 7 watts.

    I Think I'm Dumb (or maybe just happy)

    I thought I understood the math but I guess not. Where is the second volts in your equation coming from? I never really pay attention to Watts, I just know what voltage/ohm rating I like, and on the display it tells me that happens to be around 6Watts. I realize the higher the voltage and the...

    I Think I'm Dumb (or maybe just happy)

    So I need to make sure right off the bat that no one misunderstands this post as somehow an attack on any vaper of any kind. I'm posting this because I have become genuinely curious and feel I may be missing out on my vaping experience. I've had an APV of some kind or another for the last 2...

    iStick 50W

    So I got my device on Monday (complications have kept me from posting since then) and I love it the way a mother loves their first newborn. It is literally everything I want in a device mixed into one incredible mod. And the fact that it only cost me like $50 makes it that much more...

    Stumped on a new Ecig Type

    I feel like since at the end of the day we're all just people, every vaper is different. At the risk of sounding cliche vaping is kind of like a journey, everyone takes different routes and ultimately can arrive at a different distination that is comfortable for them, the trick is eventually...

    Pg good for us

    Thanks for sharing that link man, it's a great article. I had heard a bit about PG as an antibacterial, but didn't really know much else, or really any scientific information about it. It's funny how these types of articles or even ideas get zero press coverage compared to dubious (even...

    iStick 50W

    Thanks guys, your responses have confirmed my hopes about this mod. It got shipped today (2 day priority mail) and I'll be watching the tracking like a hawk. Cannot wait for this thing to come.

    iStick 50W

    Busted my Tesla on St. Patty's being blacked out (still don't know what I did to it) and I've been looking for a more portable/discreet APV anyway. Have heard nothing but good things about these, so I just placed an order for one from Smoktek. Got a good deal, can't wait to take it for a test...

    Nicoticket

    I've been using a Tesla\Protank combo and have been very, very happy. I would love to try it in other devices, but the only other one I have is VV/VW ego style and have still enjoyed it on the go.

    The whole formaldehyde thing

    While I appreciate your responses, I believe a few of you may have misunderstood the goal of the initial post. I am well aware of the flaws (that being an understatement) of the study, and have read aforementioned response to it as well. To be clear, I do not have, nor ever did, any intention...

    The whole formaldehyde thing

    I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow, and he had asked that I try to quit vaping and switch to nicotine gum because ecigs create formaldehyde in the lungs, which is terrible for you. I know many of you have dealt with this BS, so here's a short, easy-to-read article by a doctor...
