    $21.90 Mech Bottom feeder

    ....I spotted this over at the Modding forum. The price includes the atomizer. Seems like an absolute steal for someone wanting to try out the bottom feeder thing. I would hope that it is worth the price of admission. Group buy- focalecig.com

    ......Adding photos to photo albums {New Format}

    How do you do this now? It keeps saying that the file is too large or says media has been saved but nothing shows up in the album. My pics from phone are typically 1.4 meg files which is quite small. What am I missing here? Is there a limit on image size now? :confused: I click on "add...

    Need sound advice for a friend wishing to quit smoking............

    Hello all! I am looking for a good starting point for a good friend that still smokes. Which {non rebuildable} tank system works best and what would be a good VW box to go with it? I make my own mods and rebuild RBA's so I am kind of lost as far as tanks with replaceable coils for him to...

    Magma issues fixed!

    I have seen several threads regarding issues with the Magma RDA, and this is my take on the subject. I addressed the issue with minor leaking out of the air holes and the weeping behind the air control ring. If your Magma is missing the o-ring behind the air control ring, add one from your...

    TFA Horehound

    I decided to experiment with TFA Horehound. I made a 6ml sample of 75pg/25vg/15mg nic with 8% TFA Horehound. Wow, this stuff is really, really good! -It has a pronounced black licorice flavor {I am a big fan of black licorice candy} and it is already sweet enough without adding anything else...

    PG/VG ratio and dry mouth / dehydration

    I was wondering if you DIY experts have played with PG/VG mix in regards to the dreaded dry feeling and dehydration. I have noticed this more than ever lately, about the time I started to mix my own. To keep things similar to the Halo liquids I used to vape, I have been mixing at 75%PG and...

    My very first DIY liquid! :-)

    Well, folks, I got all my vapemail today and dove right into some mixing. I started with a very simple mix for a first attempt of a "menthol cigarette". I made a 15 ml bottle of 75pg/25vg @ 18mg/ml nic. The juice calculator made this very simple. 60mg pg nic 4.50ml pg...

    ....A menthol option for ALL Halo tobacco flavors!

    ....I have been searching for the "perfect menthol tobacco nirvana" and I may be on to something. I have tried various Halo tobacco flavors and I mix with Sub-Zero. This works excellent, but why not try something different? By itself, in my opinion, I don't taste tobacco in Sub-Zero. It has...

    Triton drip tip compatibility....

    Hello Halons! -I broke one of my drip tips from over-tightening it. The metal separated from the plastic. At the Halo site, there does not seem to be replacement drip tips- only included with a new tank...... The Triton seems virtually identical to the Kanger T2. Has anybody tried a Kanger...

    Hello ECF- newbie here!

    Hi everybody! I smoked full flavor menthol cigarettes for over 25 years {!} and I was just sick of many aspects of the habit. I tried some e-cigs a couple of years ago, like the disposables and the Blu Cigs. I was not happy or satisfied with the experiences. I did nights of research on the...
