    Wonderful World of Vaping Tutorials...updating??

    Yes, Vaping Guides is where CyberWolf and I do our thing these days. Thanks for the plug, mooreted! I updated the WWV in 2010 for posting on that site, but not since. However, other articles – especially by CyberWolf – do discuss the modern wizbangs.

    Lambo VV Mods on the way

    Yep! I also am interested, but don't need the batts, charger, or atty (or zippered case).

    gogo a no go, im done with this, need some advice

    "Last all day," "American made," and able to withstand "squished, dropped and slammed" point to a 1000+ mAh USA-made mod (preferably all-mechanical) ... used with a 6ml cartomizer-surrounding tank. Peruse ViZi's fairly comprehensive database of mods – and read/view reviews here on ECF – for...

    Mods

    Lots of different advice here (and all are worthy suggestions). [I'll put in my two cents shortly.] It depends on what you most want from a mod: very high mAh, high or variable voltage, juice feeding, superior engineering and/or styling (at a superior price), size and shape, and even the...

    Best Mod/setup for under $200???

    +1 I suggest that you browse through my Mods Buyers Guide – not because it is an up-to-date listing of all mods (written over a year ago, it is not) – but because it describes parameters to use in deciding on which type of mod is best for you. For example, two of those parameters are...

    Getting back into vaping after falling off the wagon. (Enlighten me on the new tech.)

    Welcome back! Advances in vaping technology since you and I started should help you stay on the wagon this time around. The Silver Bullet is a classic. The fact that it still is so popular is a tribute to its quality and styling. There are plenty of other alternatives, but there is no...

    Need help finding a vendor that sells authentic Dekang please!!

    I'm pretty sure that HealthCabin (based in China) sells true Dekang juices. They claim that they do.

    What's the real difference between LR and SR cartomizers?

    [NOTE: The following was composed before I saw Hoosier's wise reply. The "Nope!" applies to the OP, not what Hoosier wrote.] Nope! "Low resistance" has nothing to do with the airiness of the draw, per se. Resistance (measured in ohms) of an atomizer or cartomizer is an electronics term, just...

    Is there nicotine in exhaled vapor?

    Request for news in vaping gadgets!

    Here are some that come to mind: I'm not sure how "new" the 3ml-6ml-capacity cartomizer-surrounding tanks are, but they sure have taken off during the past three months. In capability, they are giving the bottom-fed juice feeders a run for their money ... and, to me, they make more sense...

    Lr carto question

    It sounds very strange. [For me, the dual coil cartos are only satisfying on at least 4.2V (e.g., 18650 battery hot off the charger or VV). A net resistance of 1.6 ohms from two 3.2 ohm coils sounds right arithmetically, but it is contrary to actual performance. The Boge 2.0 ohm cartos and Smok...

    Looking for the best 5 volt passthrough that is out there....

    Sorry for my delay in replying, vafromnc. Cartomizers of resistance levels between ~3 ohms and ~4 ohms should work well. See my article on LR and HV atomizers for background and use this online calculator to determine resulting watts and amps levels.

    VP Live Talk Radio

    It was great being on the show! Kevin is an easy guy to chat with ... and he helped keep me from wandering too far off the topic. I also enjoyed meeting you, Vocalek! Sorry we didn't have a chance to schmooze more.

    510 carts on volcano mini question

    By "volcano mini," I'm going to assume the you mean the Volcano MAGMA (i.e., the 510). And by "carts," I assume you mean cartos (i.e., cartomizers). Both the 306 and the 510 cartomizers (and atomizers) have the same threading and therefore are fully compatible. Since the atty portions have a...

    Fiance wants to upgrade from her Riva

    If she wants more battery life, she could simply get an 1100 mAh Riva-510 kit, e.g., $50 from Vapor Junction (Black only) or BreezEsmokes (Dark Red) ... or just the 1100 mAh Riva battery (Pink) for $18 from EVcigarettes. In mods, I would go with ones based on the 18650 battery. [Your own 14500s...

    Problem with Riva 1100 atty's

    I hope you realize that it is not your Riva (i.e., battery) that is the problem but whatever atomizers you are using on it. There really is no such thing as a "Riva 1100 atomizer" ... just whatever 510 attys that were sold with it or that you've purchased since. What proportion of VG do you...

    trying to get my dad to switch to e-cigs plz help

    You might want to start with pre-made juices, rather than trying to DIY. There are so many suppliers' e-liquids that I enjoy, but I think Halo makes some of the most non-gussied-up tobacco-like. I suspect that your father would like their milder Freedom Juice or harsher Torque56 ... or somewhere...

    Stressed Out

    A good 3.7V, high-mAh mod like the Silver Bullet will enable you to use any of a wide range of LR (low resistance) 510 cartomizers. It is they, which will give you more vapor (and TH). Some of the best LR cartos are the Boge 2.0 ohm, Smok Tech Mega Dual Coil, and Smok Tech 1.7 ohm Mega Single...
