    Atty Resistance increasing

    It took a bit for mine to get a second wind, maybe 2 refills of 5 drops (I drip mostly. Very rarely use carts) before they started kicking in fully. At first it seemed like it was the same performance on two of my atty's, but one of them no longer tastes bad, and produces good vapor, the...

    801 atty

    Penstyle PV's seem to have the most different compatible atty's. And by compatible, I mean the threads on the atty's will fit the DSE-801 battery. As others have mentioned, lots of variations in the number of holes, etc. Another thing that I have noticed is the center contact on the atty...

    newbie mixing question

    It's not too difficult. You just start with an unflavored base (usually), add in PG and/or VG, then flavorings. Some flavors are going to be stronger than others, so the % of your mixture will really boil down to personal taste. You will want to use an e-liquid calculator to get precise...

    Atty Resistance increasing

    I have a few old atty's that perform poorly at 3.6V. I just recently (within the past two weeks) received a high volt mod, and also built a 5V passthrough (no in-line battery). The old atty's that performed poorly on 3.6V now are performing wonderfully at higher volts. Not to be an advocate...

    Any interest in determining nicotine--by DVAP

    I may gather up the nerve to give it a try and see how I fare. Not tomorrow though. ;)

    Dana Tyler CBS News spread more fear tonight

    It's going to be a huge shock to them when they look at the ingredients in their gel deodorant. Fourth ingredient, Propylene Glycol. :shock: I'm guessing that most people don't pay attention to the ingredients that they willingly use in or on their bodies.

    I need the antifreeze thing cleared up

    While the wiki is not always the best source of information, their entry for PG is a good one. This may help answer some questions. Propylene glycol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    OH NO! Help!

    Glad you got it out :) Did you notice if there were any fibers left in the wire mesh in the atty? To clean the atty with everclear, yes you can just submerge the whole atty in it. I usually use a small glass and fill it about an inch high and lay it on it's side in the alcohol. Priming the...

    a TotallyWicked penstyle atomizer broke my Janty Stick.

    Do other penstyle atty's work? If so, I'm with surbitonPete, it sounds like a connection problem. You may need to use a staple mod to get that atty to make a good connection. It's fairly normal with certain penstyle atty's that a staple mod is needed for proper connectivity...

    To clean or not to clean that is the question?

    When I first started vaping, I was notorious about trying to do "the right thing". Jim Davis set me straight on the atty's. We all spend far too much time cleaning them. Since I stopped cleaning mine, I've had little to no problems at all. I only blow mine out if changing flavors, or if I...

    How to make battery box for 510?

    You can build a Nicostick pretty easily and for a decent price. The battery is in the 900mAh range which should last a good long while before needing to be recharged. I would guess at least a full day or even longer...

    Any interest in determining nicotine--by DVAP

    I wouldn't say genius, highly interested sounds about right! I'm glad I could finally contribute to this thread, as little as it is. You guys have really piqued my interest in all of this, even if I have a hard time following it all. I have a general understanding of what you all are talking...

    Any interest in determining nicotine--by DVAP

    Here is an interesting thought, forgive me if this has already been hashed out. I am curious if the strength of the unvaporized nicotine liquid equals the vaporized nicotine liquid. To test this, you can take, say a penstyle mouthpiece (no cart). Take a small piece of polyfill and plug it...

    Faerie's Finest Flavor List

    I've used Faeries Finest Cinnamon and Double Mint, both listed as having oils. Something to keep in mind, these are extremely strong flavors, and don't take much to flavor your liquid. They are both listed on the bottle as "Pure Flavors, Alcohol, and Water". I see no separation in the liquid...

    OH NO! Help!

    It sounds like your filler is stuck to the bridge. Take some tweezers and carefully remove it. Use a good light once you remove it to see if there is still anything stuck on the bridge. If you see anything stuck on it, I would suggest against vaping on it any further. Do you by chance twist...

    Awesome Batteries for 5V - 6V

    I have been using the Tenergy RCR123A 3.0V 750mAh LiFePO4 Rechargeable Batteries tonight in my Chuck. So far so good! The first set that I charged up showed as fully charged at ~3.34V each, the second set were ~3.53V each. I'm pretty happy with them so far. Since they are not protected with...
