    What Variable Wattage and Variable Voltage Mod to Get?

    There are a number of different variable wattage mods available right now - and they all have variable voltage as well. Some-one asked which one to buy, so I thought looking at a few options in one place might help. It can be hard to decide when the options are scattered around from one link to...

    The Vamo - Hits from Different Battery Set Ups and Ohms Checks

    I tried a few little experiments today because I'd read some-one else's views about their Vamo, and I wanted to test a few things out, including what the hits are like using different battery set ups. I have never used stacked 18350s before with the Vamo, but did try out a few things using one...

    Is There Really Any Difference in APVs? Why More Than One?

    There was a question on the forum today asking if APVs (or mods as we call them often) are really any different, and asking if they just do the same thing anyway - if we removed differences like variable wattage and durability. There was also a question about why people have more than one - are...

    Rebuildable Atomizers (RBAs)

    I've been getting into rebuildable atomizers lately. These seem to have had a surge in popularity lately with quite a few newer vapers taking an interest and asking questions. This post is a general explanation of what they are, and I'll post a helpful video I came across here too. What's the...

    The CCTS and Phoenix Type RBA

    Got a nice extra in the mail yesterday. I'd ordered a CCTS, which is a completely mechanical mod, from a vendor in Indonesia. One reason I wanted this is I am going to try out an AGA-T+ soon, which is a rebuildable atomizer/tank. Mechanical mods are good for testing out coils when rebuilding...

    The Saphire Electronic Cigarettes Scam

    This is the latest example of this sort of scam - stay away from e-cig vendors who ask you to sign up for free trials or incredibly cheap introductory offers. Research is your friend with these sort of scams. Here's what really happens - you sign up for an amazingly low priced deal on an ecig...

    So You're Looking for a Mod

A lot of vapers have questions about which kind of mod to get, and many are looking for variable voltage or variable wattage. Variable voltage means you can adjust the voltage output on your pv - which...

    Comment by 'kiwivap' in 'When Should I Quit Vaping?'

    Thanks JoAnn - I believe we know when we're ready to try a lower nic level. And anytime I decrease I always have some of the higher level as well if I decide I need it. I think you are doing fantastic - that's 3 months already, with more to come. :thumbs:

    Why Am I Coughing Stuff Up?

    So many of us have experienced this. We quit smoking, took up vaping, and after a while - maybe straight away even - we started coughing up gunk. There was an interesting question on the forum recently asking if the moisture from vaping was breaking up tar in our lungs. I'm not sure that...

    When Should I Quit Vaping?

    Some people start vaping with the goal of weaning themselves off nicotine over a set time period. Others just start vaping and are glad they are off cigarettes. On when to quit vaping - I don't think there is a prescription that will fit everyone. I smoked 40-50 a day. No way I would stop vaping...

    Comment by 'kiwivap' in 'Where I'm at on Smokers and Smoking'

    Thanks donesmokin. Been a while since I've been to Tokoroa. I love that part of the North Island. Congrats on on quitting the smokes - vaping is quite amazing in what it has enabled us to do. I stil sometimes sit back and feel amazed.

    Using a Lipo Battery Charging Bag

    After reading a post by a new member whose Ego mini exploded after using it with the wrong charger, I thought I'd do a quick post on using a a lipo safe battery charging bag. I've previously posted on mod battery safety and how to use a digital multi-meter. With this post I want to show you a...

    The Zmax 2

    A little late with this, but did want to post my experience with the Zmax 2. It's created a stir because it has both variable voltage and variable wattage, and is accurate. I've been using it pretty heavily for several weeks now. I bought a stainless steel version 2 from Electronic Cigz. Like...

    Variable Voltage and Variable Wattage

    I'm not a fan of "vs" posts, which is why I changed the title to reflect having both variable volts and variable watts on one device. For myself, I prefer variable wattage over variable voltage because I can switch from one accessory to another and stay at the same watts. Or I can adjust watts...

    Safe Power Vaping Chart

    I use variable wattage on my Zmax. It has variable voltage too but I prefer watts. I don't have to worry about what voltages I'm vaping and whether they're right for the ohms because the pvadjusts the voltage automatically. For those who only use variable voltage a chart is helpful and people...
