    SF Bay Area group now exists.

    This group has been really quiet. I have to wonder how many of us are still around. I would like to coordinate a meetup for vapers in the South Bay someplace, but am not aware of a vape-friendly establishment. If anybody knows of a good coffee shop or pub, please post. Quit4myKids

    S&S MODS Home of the DEFCON MINI RE-BUILDABLE ATTY

    We are all very relieved to hear that you "weathered the storm", so to speak. Sorry to hear about all the cleanup work, I'm sure that a bunch of us would pitch in and help if we were closer to where you live. On the other hand, if we were closer to where you live, we would probably have our...

    S&S MODS Home of the DEFCON MINI RE-BUILDABLE ATTY

    As a long-time PV user (from before e-cigs were referred to as PVs), and one of the grateful recipients of Chopper's help (and his product), I can't say enough about this man's integrity and honesty. The fact that he talks in the forum about the issues that have been reported to him doesn't...

    S&S MODS Home of the DEFCON MINI RE-BUILDABLE ATTY

    Just wanted to give a report to everyone here. I got my DC minis in one of the recent orders that Chopper sent out. I will say that even though I have been one of those that experienced a leaking issue, Chopper has been all over the problem and has been more helpful than any other vendor that...

    Diabetes is certainly manageable if you get it under control early. If you don't take the bull by the horns and do what the doctor tells you, it can result in loss of feeling in your limbs, blindness, and death. I hope I'm scaring you because I care what happens to you and everyone else with...

    Volcano issue...

    My point is simply this: If you are not going to warranty products that weren't purchased online, you should divulge that info in the warranty area on your web site. If I purchase a Sony portable DVD player while on vacation in Oregon from any store, Sony will honor the warranty at any...

    Volcano issue...

    I feel obligated to share with the ECF community some information that I recently received from Volcano. I am having warranty issues with a LavaTube that I recently purchased from an indecently owned Volcano reseller from Tracy, CA. I contacted Volcano customer service, and was told that all...

    Chopper, congratulations on Vet status. I know that everyone including me appreciates how hard you've been working on these. I would like two minis, and want to ask if you have a target date and price for the atom.

    All my mods part1

    Actually, I think you will find they have been in use much longer than that. Scubabatdan was posting about them quite a number of years ago.

    The PVMA no more worries for batt connectors!

    Dan, I'm still waiting on the drawings. The guy is doing them in his spare time as a favor, so I don't want to push him. I'll post my drawings when I get hone tonight, and will post when I get a quote. Q4mK

    metal mesh

    I've been using silica braid with good results. Fireproof, and excellent wicking properties, even when heated up. In fact, right now I'm using silica braid in the ceramic heater atomizer I've been experimenting with in another thread. I'm using a spacer along the side of the atty tube for...

    Replacement for nichrome coil...

    Actually, the air flow is the same in terms of the "bubbling up" effect through the bottom of the cup, since a regular nichrome coil cup from a BE112 atomizer is being utilized, and the holes are in that cup. Also, I found it to be necessary to put a couple of metal tubes down the sides of the...

    Replacement for nichrome coil...

    Ok, I am finally caught up enough after the holiday travels to do some work on this. I'm somewhat surprised at the lack of information posted to the thread. Hopefully, I can spur some more testing (and posting). I'm vaping on a ceramic heater with a silica braid wick as I type, but it isn't...

    MOD help!

    I've used these to make a couple of mods. Both use a recessed RCA connector (ala Warp). One has protected 10440s (from Cisco) wired in parallel for long-life 3.7V, and the other has them wired in serial for higher voltage. I was thinking of ordering a case of these, and making some...

    No one's has it yet?

    FYI, Alien Visions is no longer accepting PayPal. Apparently, PayPal hasn't been very friendly with e-cigarette suppliers, and has frozen a number of accounts, including the one AV had with them. They are using another payment service that accepts all major credit cards. Bummer for me, since...

    any one use one here>

    I have several of these (Lenmar part #PPUMINI), and use them with an adapter I made (an M401 charger with the battery connector exchanged for an RCA connector, and a RS tact switch). They don't produce as much vapor as the Kensington battery pack I carry in my coat pocket, but they work very...

    The PVMA no more worries for batt connectors!

    I've been using Warp's RCA connector on all my mods for quite a while, and it seems that if there were adapters available for all the atomizer connectors, it could even be adopted by some of the big battery resellers. What I don't like is the battery connectors that push out over time, solder...

    Replacement for nichrome coil...

    I know that I have been scrambling with holiday preparation, traveling to relatives, last minute shopping, etc..., but I'm surprised nobody has posted anything about their experiences with the heaters. I don't have anyplace here to work with it, or I would have brought mine with me. Although...

    Replacement for nichrome coil...

    I am not going to say that I am certain that anything, (including the usage of e-cigarettes) is completely safe, especially in the litigation-heavy society where we all reside. That said, I was assured by the manufacturer rep there is nothing that could leach into the fluid or vapor from the...
