    Samsung Galaxy 4 and Vaping

    I just upgraded my phone to the Galaxy 4 the other day. It has a proximity sensor so I can wave my hand over the screen and the clock/message/call counter will appear on the screen for a few seconds. Well I just found out I can have the phone sitting on my desk and blow a big, thick cloud of...

    Where does the spring go in a Sigelei telescope?

    The bottom fire button as well as the screw lock fell off in my back pocket. I also found a small brass spring in there. Despite my mechanical aptitude and best efforts, I can't figure out where to put the spring in order to restore the tension on the fire button.Now I'm having to twist the lock...

    6 month semi-anniversary

    Finally get to post it! May 10, 2013! I know it's a bit late, but still. I posted the one month, 60 days, and 90 days ones. 4 and 5 months have not typically been notable ones, but 6 months is recognizable. Now I have to wait 6 more months before posting another one; kinda like the AA/NA chip...

    I get to meet Rip Tripper tomorrow.

    Rip's a celebrity, right? Normally I don't give :2c: (replace the pennies with the usual word for 'don't give two ^%$@s') about celebrities. But I've heard good things from a couple mutual friends of ours. I think it'll be kinda fun. This'll be at a Raleigh, NC Wake 'n Vape vape meet tomorrow...

    Can you identify this mod?

    A mechanical telescope I bought at my local B&M for $15. Looks like a Sigelei, but the fluting is slightly different from all the pics I found on Google. Works fine. No complaints. I think I got a pretty decent deal unless one of you says otherwise. I'm just wondering what it is. Also, if...

    What problems have you avoided?

    Nicotine/other chemical withdrawal symptoms, nicotine overdose, weight gain, vaper's tongue, dehydration, etc. Though it works out well in the end, there are many negative side effects of quitting smoking and/or vaping. I was lucky enough to not have the constant coughing up of phlegm after I...

    "I don't smoke."

    It took nearly five months before the opportunity to say that arised. My boss told me I didn't need that cigarette anyway after I told her I forgot to take my second break. It felt good to correct her. Not much more of a point to the story. Just figured I'd share.

    Another 'where can I get' thread....36 mg nic solution

    Wizard Labs has an up to two week processing time notice. I'm impatient. When it comes to vaping stuff, I want it yesterday. I want 36 mg since I have no desire to mess with stronger liquid that will kill me and I vape 12-18 mg, and 36 mg makes the math easy when mixing. Any place I've found is...

    Oxidizing SS mesh before rolling?

    Is it cool to do this? I don't mean cool as in 'the hip thing to do', but cool as in 'won't cause problems'. I seem to have a problem with my SS mesh working well for a short time, then it seems that they always cause error codes. One dude's theory, I can't remember whose, is that it takes the...

    LavaTube V2 Errors

    First one: 82. Anyone know what that means? I thought it was a short, but my buddy who owns a local Volcano store says it's not a short, but he doesn't know what it actually is either. Seond one: The screen flashes a few times and shuts off the device. What's that? I know it has circuit...

    100+ Most Annoying Things About Vaping

    Saw this somewhere while I was looking for something. Thought it was kinda funny and could use a similar spot on ECF. Here are some examples from the thread mixed in with a few of my own: 1) an accessory kit that makes a vaper look like a drug user 2) people choking and waving away your "smoke"...

    Smoktech RC9 Clone?

    Anyone ever heard of it? I Googled it and came up with nothing. SmokTech's website doesn't have it either. I bought one from a visitor to the local vape shop the other day. That's what he said it was. I'm not asking to complain about it or anything. I built it earlier this evening and it's...

    What would you say your experience level is?

    I've been vaping for almost 5 months now. I thought I had a somewhat decent handle on things. Then I joined ECF and felt like a newb again. I had to Google every other vaping term or atty or mod I saw mentioned here. Now I have about 8 completely different types of attys and I am quite familiar...

    Couple of Genesis (AGA T+) questions.

    First one: How long do your coils and wicks last before recoiling and/or rewicking? Second one: Is there any sort of maintenance or trick to prolong the coil or wick and bring it back to life once the vape starts getting dull? Third one: Do you oxidize your Kanthal before coiling, or is there...

    Who's going to experience withdrawals...

    ....from ECF when they shut down for their networking hardware upgrade? Hopefully this will speed up the page loading a bit. I dunno if it's just a slow service here at my sister's house, only 6 MBPS when I was used to 50+ at my old place, or if the ECF network upgrade will help. I imagine the...

    Wow they reek!

    I hate to be all hoity toity about being a non smoker now, and like to think as a former smoker that I'm a little more tolerant of smoking. But the other day after biking for a few hours, I stopped at Kroger to get some coffee creamer. Figured while there, I'd get a snack too. Went outside to...

    What could possibly be shorting after firing?

    Having a problem with my AGA T+ The specs: LavaTube V2, AGA T+ RBA, 30 AWG Kanthal, Steel Mesh Wick (dunno the gauge or whatever), 7/64" hole with 5 wraps The short version: Everything tests fine until I fire the coil for the first time. Then I get an error code 82 (short). Resistance tests...

    Second thoughts maybe. Preemptive DIY questions.

    Well, it started with buying an RBA and a post saying that I hope I can afford the extra juice since RBAs burn twice as much - something apparent even this early since I've received it. Everyone who replied to that thread suggested DIY juices. So that brought me here to the DIY e-liquid forum...

    Hope I can afford the extra juice

    Just got my AGA T+ in the mail today. Fortunately I'm a tinkerer and somewhat mechanically inclined and had it up and running fairly easily after watching a couple YouTube videos. I won't say who they were by for various reasons, but they were kinda babbly and boring...just like my posts, eh...

    The math is staggering!

    Especially for some of you guys when I look at the cig free counters in your signatures. "I've been vaping for 32 days and saved $119,332 and avoided 13 million analogs" OK, maybe that's a bit far fetched, but not too much of a stretch. If quitting smoking is not one of your proudest...
