    More TH with 0mg Juice

    I have completed the journey to 0mg...sort of... A couple of weeks have passed vaping 0mg juice and all is well, except that I am not happy with the lack of TH. The flavor is great, same recipe that I've been vaping for months, but without the TH if all feels incomplete. I've found myself...

    Post Count change?

    By my best guess, I lost about 20-50 posts. Recent change to which sections count towards post count? Not a big deal, I'm well beyond the post count milestones that mean anything. Just curious.

    By nothing more than complete accident...I've made it: 0mg

    So I was mixing up a batch of my current ADV, TFA Dragon Fruit and Strawberry, and I though I had struck gold. It was the smoothest, best tasting, vape I've ever mixed. When the 30ml test batch was almost gone, it was time to mix a bigger batch. Mixed it up, dropped some in my .5Ω IGO-L...

    How To: Remove "Button-Top" and replace battery wrapper/jacket. [Pic Heavy]

    Some mods/APV's are critical of the length of the battery. When I purchased my VV Gripper it was clear that the Panasonic CGR18650CH that I had would not fit well. Why? The battery had an large diameter button added to it by the wholesaler. this button made it too long for my VV Gripper. So I...

    Forums To Exclude From View

    On another vB site that I frequent there was an option in the setting to exclude certain sections from the main page and from the "New Posts" view. The new posts view is my main concern as I would like to have the option to exclude a few sections that I could care less to see. They are some very...

    I see this mentioned quite often in reviews and various threads and wanted to generate some discussion on the topic. The general consensus, with evidence from oscilloscope readings, is that these APV’s produce an unfiltered, pulse width modulated, output. I’m working on a post that explains...
