    The end of microcoils?

    Who do you think are the people that advance medicine? It's not the practitioners, but the researchers. There are plenty of M.D.s out there who don't actively practice but instead focus on research (or teaching). Who do you think gives lectures to potential doctors in med school? That's...

    The end of microcoils?

    Highly recommend everyone listen to this full broadcast. Dr. F. answers a ton of questions from chat about all sorts of health issues (flavors, PG/VG, coils, wicks, temps). Pretty informative all around. The good news is that watts don't really matter. That is, as long as your coil/wick is...

    The Perils of Sub-Ohming

    Having your fire alarm go off in the middle of the night and having the alarm company call to ensure there is no fire. Then having to explain to the guy what vaping is. I hate that the smoke alarm is so close to my vaping room.

    Innokin's Coolfire IV...any thoughts?

    I would absolutely buy it in a heartbeat if it had a removable battery or if it had a higher mAh rating.

    Purest and Highest Grade VG

    Yes, I have been reading about this whole situation with the dumping of biodiesel glycerine on the market. Seems a number of years ago the glycerine market was depressed because of it. As you said, some companies were even paying people just to take it off their hands. This is what caused Dow...

    ZNA50 or IPV mini V2

    ZNA-50 is not a "thing." It's a clone of the real ZNA which is like $300 and uses an authentic DNA chip (but only DNA-30). I don't think it's fair to say "ZNA's suck" when you're talking about cheap clones.

    Purest and Highest Grade VG

    I've searched most of the chemical supply houses I can find online (that sell glycerine in bulk for scientific and commercial purposes). Haven't came across one yet that specifically states they sell Optim. I do know that Dow lists a few distributors on their website (3 in total). One of them...

    Purest and Highest Grade VG

    OK, sorry for the triple post. But, I e-mailed Humco to inquire about where they source their Glycerine. Here is their response: They won't disclose their source, but I am going to make a wild guess and say it is ADM or Cargill (the two "Big Ag" mega corporations that have huge glycerine...

    Purest and Highest Grade VG

    Yes, but that's not the only way. Now there is a method of making PG directly from VG as well as from sorbitol (sugar alcohol). Source. Here's another article talking about it: Huntsman and Dow are also now making PG from VG in some of their facilities.

    Purest and Highest Grade VG

    Probably wasn't even Optim. I would need some strong verification that it is indeed real before I shelled out $90 a liter (and I doubt I would pay that much even if it was real).

    Purest and Highest Grade VG

    Well, one can buy liters of 99.7 USP glycerine for about $8 all day. For Dow, I *might* pay twice that. While I think it costs them more to produce, I don't think it's "that" much more considering the oversupply of glycerine in general (due to biodiesel). Dow actually had to shut down their...

    Purest and Highest Grade VG

    This will be a long post, but I wanted to discuss where our VG is actually made (not merely who sells it). I also have a couple of questions at the end for anyone more versed in the topic than me. I am in search of the highest grade of VG available. My goal was to discover who actually makes...

    Lost in Mail

    Supposed to be one of the best places to order batteries. They actually test the batteries they import for authenticity and have always alerted customers whenever they feel they have accidentally sent out counterfeits. It happened once with fake VCT4's -- they sent out an alert to everyone's...

    Lost in Mail

    It was batteries from Illumn. No idea if they will replace them or not. I hope someone does or I'll be salty.

    Anyone ever experienced USPS losing your vape mail? How did you resolve it?

    Custom orders or make a line

    1) Yes, you will need to register an LLC for liability. If you don't, then things could be ugly if someone decides to complain that you made them sick (even if it's all BS). 2) No, I would not use any additives like caffeine. 3) An LLC at least. However, I have never sold juice, so it would be...

    Wanting to start

    If you like cereals, then there are recipes out there that are as good or better than the premium juices like Looper, Cereal Killah, etc. I recommend this one: FW Hazelnut 2% FA Meringue 2% FA Bergamot 1.5% FA Orange 1% Cap Sweet Tangerine 1% FE Lemon 3% FW Yellow Cake 2% (FA =...
