    Need help sourcing new hardware

    I've been vaping for a long time. In fact I've been using my current hardware set for 4-5 years. I use an iStick 100W mod because I like the paired 18360 battery life, swapping out every 24 to 36 hours. I use a Crown tank with a single .5 ohm triple twisted coil. Right now I have 5 or 6 decks...

    Thread headline link jumps to last post rather than first "New" post

    On mobile Internet (Android) browser the thread headline link has recently started taking me to the last post of the thread rather than the first new post. I have to scroll or page back to read comments that I haven't seen yet.

    A public health department educator lied to my child today about vapes

    Today in health class my middle-school aged child was told by a public health department educator that vapes cause cancer and I should just use Chantix. Needless to say, I'm livid. I'm planning on penning an email to her health teacher and the principal and can use all the ammo I can find...

    I found an old stash!

    Yay! I found my Little Chucks and 2 boxes of 510 atties. Not sure that I'll ever need or use the atties, but the Chucks are nice to have put back in case of vapocalypse.

    Fasttech scheduled ship dates?

    I placed an order on 12/31 that is pending a single item. All the other items have been "ready to ship" since order was placed. The scheduled ship date for the ohmmeter is today (almost yesterday local time at their warehouse.) While I really want the meter, I really want my Uwell Crown and...

    Bellus drip tip

    So I built my first 2 coils (2mm id, 4/5 triple-twisted 28 awg Kanthal A1) and am using my new Bellus. Wicking seems good ... only had some leakage with 1 top-fill (and 1 top-fill without.) My problem is with how hot it's getting. I'm using my own DIY that is a light flavor. Seems I have to bump...

    FDA Does Intended Use violate the First Amendment?

    If the Intended Use portion of the FDA regulation is published, might a First Amendment challenge be successful? If customer reviews, testimonials, even forum posts are used against a company to allow the FDA to claim regulatory purview, are they not infringing on freedom of speech? I mean if...

    new Bellus and Uwell Crown (with RBA deck) -- help, please

    So my new RTAs are here, and from my research I should start by washing them. I've read 'hot, soapy water.' Soapy == dishwashing soap? Seems resonable and correct, yes? All parts (disassembled) including o-rings? I plan on starting with the Crown and included coil heads while I do more research...

    Sony VTC4 - computer usb charge with iStick 100W

    I just got a new iStick 100W and a pair of VTC4s, but I didn't buy the wall wart. Is it safe to charge internally via a laptop usb port? I will buy a charger when I get another set of batteries, but I chose to get a bottle of nic instead this time around in case draconian regs get pushed...

    Aspire CF-VV -- short life?

    I bought 2 1000mAh Aspire CF-VV batteries 3 months ago. Each has been through approximately 100 charging cycles. Both are beginning to exhibit odd behavior. They no longer give any indication of low power, needing recharge. They just quit, no orange light, nothing. I'm a bit peeved as I paid $28...

    Please help a long-term vaper branch out -- Box mod recommendations

    I've been vaping for close to 6 years now. I started with a 510 setup, which didn't last long due to frequent charging. Then I moved to 808s, got tired of cartos that tasted crappy on refilling. I found clearos and eGos and was set for a few years. I recently upgraded to a Nautilus tank and got...

    Niquid longevity

    Hey y'all, I'm back! I've got some older niquid (4 years, or so) that I quit using because I found a supplier that I love. I opened it last week to try to determine if it's still good, and I'm not sure. Any tips on figuring it out? And, how do I dispose of it if it's not? I've got a bottle of...

    G4 shortage??

    I switched to the filler-less cartos shortly after they came out (don't like CE2s), but now I'm in a quandary. I can't find 510 threaded Vortex/G4/G5s anywhere ... even Heaven's Gifts has 0 stock. Anybody know what's up or could recommend a reputable vendor that has these in stock, Please...

    Ego-T pass-through ... do I need a charger to use it stand-alone?

    I posted this in Ask a Veteran as well ... but thought I might be able to get an answer here while waiting for a mod to post my thread ... I needed to order some more G4's and could only find them (510 connector) at Liberty-Flights -- cool by me, you're where I got my last batch too. I gave...

    Ego-T passthrough ... do I need a charger?

    K, so I'm a Vet too ... but I don't know anything about the Ego-T line. I needed to order some more G4's and could only find them (510 connector) at Liberty-Flights. I gave a pass-through to a friend the other day 'cause she is having horrible issues with her brand-name 808D batteries. I...

    Uh oh ... I think I broke Chiana Chuck

    So here's the deal, I'm a bit of a clutz and have knocked my lil Chuck over one too many times, I believe. It's 510 threaded, and with a carto on snug the carto will still wiggle more than slightly from side-to-side in all directions. I've got a fresh battery in it and get nothing with a meter...

    Expected life span for chargers?

    I've recently had my original wall-plug charger and both my usb chargers stop charging. The original wall-plug was ~9 months old, and the usb chargers were ~6 months old. I had some older batteries that began to not hold a charge around the same time, which have been replaced. I'm trying to...

    bad idea to align button on the seam?

    I'm trying to design my Chucks and with both the images that I have it seems that the button would be best aligned either on or near the image seam ... is this a bad idea? Has anyone done this or can Jeff lend me a bit of advice, please? TIA Jan

    Battery fix?

    I posted a few days ago about the troubles that I'm having with my XL batteries. Now one has gone completely dead, and I'm trying to see if I can fix one that faulted about a month ago. The newly dead, I believe is truly newly dead ... it's one of the oldest and no longer will even light the...
