    Smooth throat hit vs throat scratch

    A well behaved coil positioned just right in a well mannered topper produces a luxury smooth throat hit of varying strength from low nic to high nic. Rotate the cap and it will scratch throat and make me cough. Is the coarse throat scratch still considered a throat hit or is there another name...

    Cotton wicks do not expand?

    Many people say cotton wicks expand when juiced. Has anyone actually measured or experienced an expanded cotton wick? I've never noticed an expanded cotton wick. I went as far as conducting a little experiment. I laid cotton yarn and cotton ball wicks on a ruler. Some were doused w/ VG...

    IGO-F anyone? Crcikets?

    I'm using daily two IGO-F rebuildable atomizers. They produce outstanding vapor quality with their virgin coil/wick. Contrast to many rebuildables that require perfect coil/wick placement to produce medium vapor quality. Decent clouds to boot. In my book IGO-F has many pros and few cons. Does...

    John Tesh slams e-cigs

    Sorry for this thread if already started. Sorry for admitting my radio was dialed to John Tesh. John just gave a horribly biased unfair slam on e-cigs. Said e-cigs have more of certain harmful chemicals than analogs.

    SS CE2 Best atty/carto I've Tried (based on 2)

    510 CE2 Cartomizer XL Revision 5 I'm vaping 3.7v PV using 3.0-3.2ohm (3.3ohm actual) CE2. I tried 2 so far and they worked out of the box; I dry burned them before filling just in case. I used one almost exclusively for a few weeks using clean burning liquid. Vapor production much more than...

    Altoids 3 Amp Fuse no RTV Mod

    I don't know who started the Altoids mods but I love em. When I saw Ralph T's beautiful Altoids mods that was the last straw. I had to have one. Specs: 3 amp high performance switch. 3 amp fuse. Atty connector seal is solder. Solder used to mount everything. Only one wire. Heat shrink used to...

    Atty killer liquid test

    Heat up pan on stove and drip your test liquid onto pan. Atty friendly liquids like FW orange dream bar leave no residue. Atty killers like FW coffee leaves nasty slag on pan. Aroma of FW coffee on pan is same as vaping flavor. Hope this test saves a few attys/cartos.

    DIY RY4 dead ringer?

    Recipe: Unflavored juice plus a wee bit of super rich LO Black Walnut. I mean start w/ one drop and work up. I put PA RY4 in PT and LO Black Walnut in Roughstack. Switching back and forth Black Walnut is a RY4 dead ringer. Perhaps there is a difference w/ cleansed palate; don't know. I prefer...

RTV on potential leak points inside cap. Installed a button cap to help keep switch clean. Vasoline on threads to prevent...

    Top Flavors You Don't Have to Inhale

    Closest to analog I've found! M401 w/ easy draw!

    I fitted 306 atty on M40x batt w/ an adapter. Now I can enjoy M40x w/o that tuff draw; draw easier than analog. M403 producing equal TH, vapor and flavor as big batt Roughstack! Of course the batt life is more on Roughstack. Works great on M401 PT. Performance seems equal to Roughstack even...

    Madvapes 510 Clear Dual Coil Mega Cartomizer vs LR 306 atty

    1.7ohm 306 atty at 3.7 volts has great TH and vapor production. Flavor above par. 2.5 ohm 306 atty at 3.7 volts is nice but under performs 1.7ohm. 1.6 ohm dual coil at 3.7 volts is more powerful than 1.7ohm 306. Can be overwhelming if you don't drop the nic. Flavor of dual coil and 306 is...

    Roughstack vs M401 vs 510l

    Just wanted to point out a few pros and cons. M401 auto batt and PT: M40x is great for hands free vape since it is light as a feather. M401 atty draw is tuffer than analog; only complaint. M401 performance is good if direct drip. M401 PT is very durable and light; performs well except for tuff...

    Red Pepper Throat hit (Careful)

    I steeped ground red pepper (not the hottest one) in PGA and extremely diluted the extract. Start w/ extract well below 0.01% and work up. So far the red pepper TH is smoother than black pepper TH. I like the black pepper flavor more than red. Be careful playing w/ peppers.
