    There is no evidence that vaping can help you quit *nicotine*

    I thought I'd invite some dialogue on this one after seeing the "There is no evidence that vaping can help you quit smoking" thread by introducing a tougher question. Is it easier to wean off of nicotine via vaping vs. other methods? Things to consider (I don't have a "right" answer, you...

    How long of a cotton wick in a Phoenix?

    Just finished my first cotton-wicked coil... it's a lot thinner than the silica I've been working with. How much wick do you all leave down in the drip well? Just enough to lay in the bottom, or enough to wrap around? I'm asking because it seemed like I had to put a good 8-10 drops in there...

    Does anyone make short, fat VV batteries?

    I'm interested in a short little stout battery for pocket-friendliness, but I need around 1,000 mAh to last as long as I'd like to. And I need VV because I use all sorts of resistances. I've seen short skinny 450mAh eGos, and long fat 1,300mAh eGo monsters. If they would just make the short...

    Thanks HDV!

    +1 for High Desert Vapes! Fast shipping, good prices, sane packaging! The lady friend loves her eGo twist (oh, and she's already vaped the green apple freebie), and I'm in heaven with my first rebuilt atomizer head! Thanks!!!

    Rebuilt 2 vivi heads, first try!

    Boo. Yah. I knew origami would pay off somehow! First two tries and I have a good-as-new nova and mini nova. Awesome! What I did: ** Watched pbusardo's video, many times. ** Checked this out: ViVi Nova Atomizer Rebuild - Imgur ** Bought 32ga kanthal A1 and 3mm silica wick. ** Used a single...

    Had 5 dental operations done in one sitting...

    Sparing a long story, I had all of my wisdom teeth extracted and a filling done three days ago. I just wanted to share that I vaped during the healing and seem to have come out ok. I was doing this for pain relief (part of the long story), so naturally I was terrified of the dreaded dry...

    Something like Liqua French pipe tobacco?

    I'm looking for a DIY recipe that has a pipe tobacco / cigar tobacco taste. I really don't know the difference between Virginia, Burley, Turkish, etc. I have tried TFA RY4 and their "Tobacco Blend", and the M-type. The blend is my favorite (is RY4 supposed to be very sweet?), but I'm looking...

    BZ2 - "Kool Mint"

    Partially inspired by http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/e-liquid-recipes/203187-smooth-menthol.html I have been on the hunt for a recipe that's close to "Green Mint", which I think is Dekang. Whatever it is, it's at the B&M store here, it's one of the few I buy. It has a wonderful...

    *I* am APV happy!!!

    Just got back from the B&M store... I've been itching to get into RBA's, and then saw how easy it is to rebuild a vivi nova head. I was going to get a Vamo because it's cheap and I don't have anything with short protection or VV. But the store had an itaste mvp for cheap, and it was there...

    Nhaler + Drew = great service

    Just wanted to give a quick "Y'all rule!" shout to Drew and Nhaler.com... I purchased a starter kit, one with the AIO PCC. It's a cool little PCC... not screwing in the battery is nice. The plastic sliding power switch on mine broke just a couple days after it arrived, turning my PCC into a...

    I love you guys!

    Just wanted to give a quick thanks for this board being here. I got on the DIY track just week and a half ago, worried I wouldn't be able to easily mix palatable liquid. Thanks to y'all's encouragement, and some very useful threads of common percentages used, I'm a DIY machine. Maybe I'm not...

    Is it really this easy?

    My advance apologies if this is an over-asked question... I've found unflavored nic-liquid (2.4% or 3.6%) on ECF-sponsored stores, 100mL+ for under $10. Enough flavoring (if I understand the approx. proportions) for all of that is also under $10. So... I can buy pre-mixed liquid that isn't...

    YAFS (Yet another former smoker)

    Hello everyone. Just realized I haven't made the obligatory intro thread yet. Two weeks off analogs now. Of course it all started with a gas station cheapie. I found this site just AFTER ordering a V2 slightly-overpriced kit. Luckily their shipping seemed ok, and I found a local vapor store...
