    Still a champ

    I've recently been dealing with some major stress and that, evidentally, made me obsess about smoking again. After 59 years of doing it, even with a couple of years vaping under my belt, some old habits die a hard death if they ever do. Anyway, battling it made me think back to what I did to...

    The Mind Unleashed article on nicotine benefits.

    I'm not sure if this is the place... or only place... this belongs. If the wrong place, I apololgize. If the article would be of interest in other places, feel free to direct there. Also not sure if I'm supposed to code or break the link. Is Everything We Know About Nicotine Wrong? | The...

    Browser back button

    With Firefox at least, the threads I just opened don't show I did when going back via the browser. Also, when I'm the last poster on a thread, it doesn't show that either. I don't know if this is an all-of-a-sudden problem with the browser or with ECF yet. Edit: Its been going on since first...

    Njoy price?

    The last Njoys I bought at Walgreens/Walmart cost $6 and change and that's about 7 months ago I think. People, including myself, have found them cost prohibitive. Was talking with my daughter last night and she said she just bought two of them at a gas station for $4.l9 a piece. I, of course...

    Type A atty multiple use

    I use the Type A atty in both my Erolls and Joye CCs. Over the last month I've discovered something and can't say why its this way but it is. The Type A seems to need 3.7 volts to perform properly which the Eroll is but when its used on a Joye Ego C upgrade that vapes at 3.3 volts or using it...

    My Posts not working

    From What's New drop down Yesterday, summarizing, I was told to refine my search. Today, I get this: connection to 10.0.0.6:9312 failed (errno=110, msg=Connection timed out)

    Dying battery symptoms

    I posted in model-specific but am not getting any answers and think I'll make it more generic because I'm sure others want to know also. I bought mainly Joye C upgraded regular and passthrough batteries because of all their protection features. One has quit going into unregulated mode. Its a...

    Joye Ego C upgrade

    I've had a Joye Ego C upgrade 1000 mah passthrough used in rotation daily for a year at least and today I noticed it won't go into unregulated mode. I think its the one I dropped this week but not hard.. about 2 feet onto a semi-hard surface. Is the first sign one of these is reaching its...

    The missing ingredient

    I'm really just sharing my happiness but, also, this might help a noob DIYer which I still consider myself to be. I've been DIYn for about a year now and found everything I mixed lacking in something. I referred to it as a "bite." By that I don't just mean TH but a "feel" in the whole mouth...

    PV Theft

    So far I've only seen one case and it was a Provari stolen off a desk at work recently... sad.... but it got me wondering. As vaping becomes more and more mainstream and these devices can get pricey, there's most likely going to be more theft. There was with cell phones until measures were...

    Galileo

    I've been searching for days and days for an inexpensive fully mechanical mod. So far the Galileo with a magnetic button comes closest to supplying all my needs: accommodates different size batts/kick, tappered recessed head for 510/ego clearos, easy to push button that doesn't appear to...

    Tanks + juices corrosion?

    I am so excited to find a new vendor (to me) that packages in needle-nose bottles. I've tested their 7 of newly received juices stove piping on an Eroll and no bad (chemical/soap) tastes from any of them. Soooo... they make a pineapple and its a flavor I steer clear of since I left cartos...

    Nutty questions

    I've been at this a year now and have had to continue buying my ADVs from Mountain Vapor because they do my favorite nut flavors so well. Oddly, I've tried a few 555s from different vendors and don't like them. I guess I'm picky about my nuts? Most of them taste like peanut but some like...

    Joye Ego CC

    I've looked and haven't found any discussions on this: It's been said that Joye doesn't invent anything and only copies whatever they produce for other companies branding as their own. IE: The Ovale Emini and Joye Eroll. I like the Joye Ego CC with the Joy Type A atty. Does anyone know if...

    The ickys

    I have combed my old posts this morning and found closed threads. I can only imagine what some noobs would think reading some of them so I'm trying to offset those plus add some new, hopefully, information to help others. When I was 6 months into vaping, all of a sudden having had no problems...

    Hangsen juice bottles

    Sorry if this is in the wrong sub. I like needle-nose bottles and, so far, have found that most of the Dekang juices (depending on nic mgs and sizes) and all of the Mountain Vaper juices come in them. Does anyone know if Hangsen bottles are all needle nose? Or, if like Dekang, in what mgs...

    My way to clean atomizers

    I was going to take the plunge cleaning atomizers this morning. Before starting, I looked at each atomizer under strong magnification. What I found both unfavorably surprised but also delighted me. I found pretty big differences in the machining of them which was surprising so I did not want...

    Different colors

    Just one of those curiosity posts: If eroll batteries and/or tanks came in different colors like the ego batts do, would you buy them? Without labeling, so far, there are only four color combos to identify so I would love to see more colors.

    Dry burning

    I cleaned four atomizers for the first time last night and they're all working fine but wonder if I dry burned them or not. Here's what I did: First soaked them in hot tap water and rinsed with new water several time. Then soaked them in vodka for 30 minutes and rinsed again with hot water...

    Protective covering

    I can see some bubbling on the edge so know there is a protective covering on the PCC but I don't know if I should remove it. I don't think I've ever seen anything scuff as badly as these PCCs do and don't know if removing the covering would help or hurt. I keep them sitting on a rubber thingy...
