    Out of the loop for a while - help me out with BDCs

    So... you leave ECF for a while, and when you come back all the trendy things have changed. :) So many things to re-learn. I'll apologize in advance for asking what may be dumb questions, but after searching around on here for the last hour, I can't seem to find the answers I'm looking for. I'm...

    What setup do you use when traveling?

    I'm curious to find out what other folks use as a go-to setup when traveling. Right now (home or away) I pretty much stick with clearos (EVODs, Kanger T2s and T3s), but the leaking I get while traveling is driving me insane. I travel 1-2 days a week for work, either flying or driving...

    Who has used their flavorings in foods & drinks?

    I'm curious to see who is multi-tasking their vape flavorings and using them for their original purpose - in foods & drinks. I've read on here a few folks that have used them in coffee & water, but as far as I can remember that's all I've seen. I'm sitting here eating one of my favorite healthy...

    If you like Boba's Bounty...

    ...try mixing it 50/50 with a 15% mix of Capella's cinnamon danish swirl. Un.freaking.believable. It's like a breakfast version of BB. I received a 10ml sample of BB in a package from the classifieds, and loved it. Then trying to find a way to "stretch" it until I could get an order in for a...

    Has anyone tried these from Capella?

    Graham cracker? NY Cheesecake? Maple? I'm looking at my first order of Capella flavors and wondering if anyone has tried these three, and what your thoughts are one them. (I'm also getting cinnamon danish swirl, marshmallow, peanut butter, and chocolate fudge brownie - but there are...

    I need math help - working backwards to percentages

    Ugh. Usually I'm the one helping folks with math problems (I have a brother several states away that only calls when he needs help with his son's math homework, LOL).... but for the life of me I can't get my head around this. I mixed up the following (separately): VZ SC Green Tea @ 4.5% +...

    Which VZ SC fruit flavors have you tried?

    I ordered ~ 10 of the super concentrate flavors from VapingZone a couple of weeks ago... a couple of them were tobaccos for my BF, but the rest were for me. Things like cream, coffee, vanilla...mostly mild-ish flavors that were for mixing with other stuff. However I have found that I am *so* in...

    Lime juice instead of lemon juice?

    Specifically, can I use key lime juice in place of lemon juice when adding just a *touch* to DIY recipes? Well... maybe slightly more specifically... I kinda did already. Should I not have? I was impatient (as usual) and didn't have any lemon juice in the house. Google tells me there is...

    My short DIY intro, and a couple of questions.

    I have been faux-DIYing it since I started vaping. I've tried, um... 60 or so (yikes!) premixed juices in the last 3 months, and my favorites are the recipes I've made by mixing 2/3/4 of them together. I very rarely vape anything straight out of the bottle. So, I finally decided to leave the...

    Multimeter questions, help please!

    I'd like to attempt re-building coils for several atomizers (different clearos and a phoenix RBA), however the only batteries I use at the moment are eGo-type... no APVs yet. One of them (eGo-VV mega) may or may not have short-circuit protection, but I'm pretty sure the rest don't. So I bought a...

    What am I doing to my batteries?

    I have fried two 1-week-old batteries in the last 6 days. :( These are (were) both eGo variable voltage batteries (not Joyetech brand), where you click the button three times and it will change from 3.2 - 3.7 - 4.2 volts. I measured the output voltage with a multimeter and the 4.2 setting...

    Why exactly does a Kanger T3 gurgle?

    I can't determine if it's over-wicking (and therefore too much juice flooding the atomizer), or if it's from not enough wick taking up space in the hole left under the silicone cap, which would leave a little gap for juice to sneak in. I took one of my stock T3 heads apart to clean it, and...

    Two things I have learned this morning....

    1. If you have a tissue lying around to occasionally wipe up juice leaks, *do not* mindlessly pick it up to wipe your nose. Especially if said nose is raw around the edges from having a cold the past two days. 2. If you are in a cold-medicine-induced brain fog, pay close attention to what...

    Flavors vs. atomizer resistance - does it matter?

    Short version - it there a rhyme or reason to using different resistance atomizers for different flavors? Slightly longer version - For example, the vivi nova kit usually comes with replaceable heads in 3 different resistances: 1.8, 2.4, and 2.8. Up until now, I only have 1.8ohm heads (mainly...

    Cleaning question: Kangers and Novas, how often?

    Let's assume for a second that you're not cleaning it to change flavors, and you're not using juice that would typically gunk up the coils faster than normal. How many refills (ml) do you go through before you disassemble everything and clean it? I'm about at the end of refill #2 on my T3...

    Two charger questions - USB car charger & Mophie

    I'm *so* non-electrically inclined. I've read enough on ECF to know that using the wrong charger for the wrong battery is a bad idea. I'd like some help from the vets to find out if either of these are a safe option for charging while on the road. For both of these, I'd be plugging in a...

    Can I use this to sweeten pre-mixed juice?

    I'm not a DIYer, so I apologize for what may be an obvious question. :blush: I have searched an read several posts on here about using liquid stevia to sweeten DIY mixes. I have a pre-mixed liquid that desperately needs sweetening. I have this from Whole Foods: "Stevia extract liquid" (WF...

    Why does my Vivi Nova suck through juice faster than a T3?

    If I'm vaping both at approximately the same watts (1.8 ohm Vivi Nova @ 3.8V, 2.4 Kanger T3 @ 4.3V) why am I going through juice so much faster in the VVN? I noticed the difference immediately (vaping them side by side), but shrugged it off at first, thinking maybe I just liked the flavor I had...

    What is the inside of a bridgeless atty supposed to look like?

    (And I don't mean the 3-hole ones, I googled and could see those.) I picked a bridgeless atty (my first) to try out dripping for around the house. When I look down into it, there's a little white cup with coils either across it or in it (I can't tell), with gray-ish meshy fluffy stuff around...

    Do you ever buy flavoring to add to pre-mixed juices?

    If so, what's a good starting point (as far as the amount to add)? I have several juices that are really just.... not good. One tastes like they forgot to add any sweetener, a few others aren't offensive but they just don't have much flavor to me at all, or the little bit of flavor they have...
