    Drying out cotton after boiling

    I've been using cotton balls for wicks with micro coils, I figured I was safe buying organic 100% cotton balls, but realized they are treated with hydrogen peroxide. So now I'm boiling the cotton balls before use. I've found tons of instruction on boiling, but nothing about drying them. It's...

    I'm back

    ...from 5 weeks of geologic work in the high desert. The change in elevation caused a 30 ml bottle to explode and I also managed to snap an ego t in half while hiking up an outcrop. Good thing I brought plenty of juice and a backup battery. Cheap ce4 clearos got me though the trip as well as a...

    Converting the significant other

    So over two months ago, I made the switch - both me and my SO were going to vape, but....well I got pretty obsessed with it. My constant talking about it made her not want to try it at all. She would try it ever so often, usually when she didn't have a pack, but never liked it too much. Last...

    45 Days Ago

    45 days ago, I made the switch to e-cigs. 45 days ago, I smoked my last cigarette. I just wanted to thank the community for helping me get started and for all the support - I'm not sure this habit could have been upheld without it. 45 days ago, I began my start to this collection:

    I'm sorry, but I need to rant

    So i'm at my local bar, my friend is trying to quit smoking and is smoking a herbal mix. No tobacco, and nothing illegal, just herbs. Bar tender tells him to put it out. A while later the bar tender tells me to put a way my PV. I do, but now I'm out side on my phone. Because here's the thing...

    Everything seems to be not working

    The only luck I'm having is with 510 boge cartos. -Both attys on the eRoll seem to not work as well even after cleaning them (maybe I should just invest in new ones) but I used one for about 2 weeks, and the other only a few days. The latter, despite being used lightly, just doesn't seem to...

    My 1st Mod

    Despite just paying taxes, I got a security deposit back - so obviously I bought a mod with the extra cash. Ordered a stainless steel Vamo v2, 2 batteries, a charger, and 2 vivi novas. Met my first fellow vaper(s) - one had a Vamo and I've been thinking about getting one, and he sold me on it...

    Measuring Resistance

    I don't have a mod to measure resistance but I do have a multimeter. I'm able to measure a 510 carto just fine. Lead on the inside and other on the threads. Background was .5 and read 2.3 ohms - perfect it was a LR carto with 1.8 ohms. However, I'm not sure where to but the leads for a kanger...

    5 Week Camping Trip

    So here's a question: I have a 5 week field study program approaching in a few months and need to figure out my vaping situation. I'm not wanting to bring a single analog. Luckily, the 1st week is in a research station with electricity and the next 4 are in the middle of nowhere but we have a...

    eGo DCT Cone - no more draw

    I'm using a Smok Tech U-DCT 3.5ml tank on my eGo-T battery with a cone to hide the gap from the ego threads. It used to work great, now for some reason I get no draw with the cone on. I take off the cone, and just have the tank in the 510 threads and it works fine. Everything use to work fine...

    Recent Purchase + Kanger T3 dissapointment

    So I'm addicted to ecigs, not just nicotine. I went to my local B&M store, after a lot of discussion I left with a tank/carto system, with a hollow carto and a Kanger T3. Not sure of the brand for the tank, but I feel like it was more of a cheapy thing to try out. It's supposed to be 3.5ml...

    University of California Tobacco Ban (not just tobacco)

    I knew that a campus wide tobacco ban (anything but nicotine patch/gum ban is what it should be called) was going to be implemented on all UC campuses in 2014. Here is an email I just received, notice what product is banned as well. What really sucks is our campus has no way to cross the street...

    eJuice help/recommendations

    I'm really enjoying vaping (woot one whole day off the analogs) but my main gripe so far is how sweet all the juices are. I've been enjoying a strawberry juice, and I get that that should be sweet. However, I have a tobacco flavor which just tastes like sugar, and a hazelnut flavor, which is a...

    Just made the switch

    I went to go take a final, and my gf let me know that the PVs were delivered. Ditched my post-final cig and went straight home to try out the eRoll. I enjoyed it a lot. I was surprised at how much of a TH that little thing makes. Not to mention, that was the first nicotine rush I've had in a...

    Being sick and vaping

    Here's a question that just occurred to me. I'm starting to get a head cold (sinus pressure, sniffles, sneezing, coughing, etc). Normally, I would keep on smoking right through it, and what a bad decision that always is. More restricted breathing, aggravated cough, hacking up stuff from lungs...

    First post and switching to e-cigs

    Hey everyone, This is my first post here and wanted to give a little introduction: I've smoked a little over a year now and would say I'm a moderate smoker, probably 10 cigs max, but sometimes a whole pack. After a hell week with school which lead to buying a pack everyday, I decided to quit...
