After my first week of mechanical mods, everything else is shelved. But I am keen on exploring better RTAs. The Kayfun was a reasonable newbie start, but some real limitations. The screws are too small, 30-32 gauge is all that will hold, and only simplest builds are within my dexterity. Next...

Thanks you guys are the greatest! Got the tank, I'm running my first simple build on it, single coil 1 Ohm. Pretty smooth, probably gonna try a double coil build next.

Thanks for all the info. Will try the experiment again tonight !!!

Hi All, So I have done my fair share of recoiling, but I am new to mechanical mods (looking for my own permanent solution with no electronics as I am apocalyptic about the FDA's "Final Solution"). So here is what I started with (I'm sure I'll evolve it several times before I'm satisfied). Ohm...

I don't see the presence of any vape everything crowd. I have stated my personal view on vaping certain things but the emphasis has been heavily on the fact that no one can provide anyone any assurances on the safety of any of this. I wish anything could be discussed intelligently on this...

Very intelligent discussion. I am sorry if you don't like my position, if you have a criticism with merit offer it up.

Not true. HCl does not affect PAHs at all, does not eliminate any of the major food poisoning sources (obviously) etc. But that is irrelevant, just another example of the ubiquitous flawed assumptions on this forum about what is safe, what is dangerous, etc. We still do not have those answers...

Organic e-liquids and e-liquid components are very popular, and there is a widespread misunderstanding of what "organic" even means, as well as a false assumption it means "safer": or "better". I consider that relevant. If you do not and you are a moderator, by all means, moderate me.

Even total elimination policies can often be flawed. Example: A family of compounds called PAHs.. Really really really bad stuff. They make diacetyl look like health food. They come from man-made activity, but also from essential natural processes - volcanic activity, renewal of arable...

Extremely bad logic. First of all as has been noted, you've altered the ratios. Second these are not "fatal doses". If you took either pill the other one is irrelevant. A more logical argument: If you smoke at some level, and co-vape at the same level, at the end of the day let's simplify...

I state very clearly the no one can tell you that any of this is safe, and that everyone must make their own decision. I state only for myself that I could care less about diketones. I care very much when a series of posts may influence a person who is smoking to be misguided to thinking that...

Based on having worked in the chemical process industry for a couple pf decades and familiarity with real life plant conditions for one thing. The photos in that report for another - there were effectively no environmental controls. Common sense. If you want numbers here you go - cigarettes...

Do you have the PPM levels for vapors? If so you should be able to publish a journal article.

MSDS data is difficult to extrapolate. If you opened a bottle of 99% Butyric Acid outside of a good fume hood, you would choke immediately. You might spew. You would be inclined to burn your clothes. OTOH, butyric acid is also already found, or more often it's close relative and not much...

There is considerable difference. The levels of diacetyl in liquids, if any, is very small, otherwise they would be overpowering to where you would not vape them. E-Cigs have been shown to be only moderately effective as delivery systems. People in plants were working with drums of *pure* or...

Let me summarize in a much more concise and considerably less gentle manner. Again no one can say any of this is safe, and diacetyl is certain not good for you, but it is no longer (if it ever was) exactly a pervasive and immediate threatening issue either as far as I can tell. Much of a...

Don't be. Confused. I would suggest neither. Concerned or Confused. But no one here can give you medical advice. No one on the planet can tell you what in vaping is "safe". You choose whether it concerns you or not. I can tell you in very quick terms what is in that thread: worse than...

Pseudoephedrine was a lot different. It was a known methamphetamine precursor as far back as the 1920s at least, and it got no attention until the .... epidemic got out of control and then only after ephedrine had already been regulated, and that is all really DEA, FDA has nothing to do with...

Assume what you can reasonably expect. It is just a matter of time. The feds are gonna reg the .... out of it and there is essentially little you can do other than try to be prepared. Learn to mix your own - food flavorings are not going anywhere. Stock up on nicotine. I'll probably stock a...
