    Resistance is jumping around

    Could be. I have never used pre-built coils for TC, but as temperamental as TC can be, I can imagine factory coils will have bad ones. Whether you build your own or use factory coils, the base resistance changing is not normal.

    Of vaping – and sugar – and why emotions are boiling hot.

    No one can agree an something we can't possibly know yet. Whether vaping is harmful long term will be decided long from now, to debate it now is simply conjecture. What everyone can agree on is it is much safer than smoking and it should be an adult activity/hobby (which guarantees underage...

    Resistance is jumping around

    That is not exactly correct. Yes the resistance does rise as you fire it, but the chip should immediately revert back to the "base" resistance when you let go of the button. His problem sounds more like his base is changing after firing it, which is a not normal. cte72, it sounds like a bad...

    Help again?

    It's probably like the Sub Tank Mini's, a bit difficult to get off the first time. Being glass it won't screw off, not having threads and all. If it is like the STm's, and from the looks of it it might be, then you have to twist and pull, eventually it will come off. Sometimes I had to get my...

    As the second week in August is getting closer, I just gotta say...

    I don't mean the news media, that is a lost cause, all of them are bought and paid for. I mean commercials, magazines, billboards, radio, whatever outlet can be utilized to get truthful information to people that have no reason to seek it out themselves. It doesn't only need to be information...

    As the second week in August is getting closer, I just gotta say...

    BT is not in a position to default on their MSA payments, and likely would never get to that point, but you are correct in that vaping is cutting into their bottom line and they would like it to disappear as much as anyone. The MSA is important to the states because THEY will default on the...

    Exchange or Repair for Innokin iTaste MVP 3.0 Pro 60W less than a year old, versus new brand?

    Don't know anything about Vaporesso or their reliability. As others have said, and I have experienced as well, replaceable battery mods tend to outlast ones with built-in batteries. Having a quality charger is important though, so spend a few extra dollars to get a good one, and a good one...

    Exchange or Repair for Innokin iTaste MVP 3.0 Pro 60W less than a year old, versus new brand?

    With the price of mods today, I would be happy to get a years use out of them. When I started I was paying a lot more for much less and some only lasted a few months before the button wore out or they just broke. I have enough now that I just rotate them in and out of use, others just collect...

    Batteries

    Yup, exactly as IMFire said. Though I probably wouldn't buy batteries from a B&M, they are typically at least 50% more and I would be worried about where they purchased them.

    Moffit study of dual users looking for participants starting today

    Study goal: "To date, little is known about how e-cigarette use changes over time or how it affects the use of traditional cigarettes. Such information would be valuable for understanding the long-term impact of e-cigarettes and for determining whether e-cigarettes help or hinder smoking...

    Moffit study of dual users looking for participants starting today

    Researching dual users seems kinda shady to me. If someone is doing research for the benefit of vaping they wouldn't taint the subjects with cigarette intake. I don't see any outcome from this that would benefit vaping.

    Advice on a new box & possibly a tank

    Pico is a good little mod, that does quite a bit for it's size and cost. For tanks, look at the Merlin. I was a LONG time Sub Tank Mini user, using it as M2L. Kept seeing the buzz about the Merlin so I decided to give it a shot, glad I did. Ended up getting a 2nd one and they have replaced my...

    Forgive my ignorance

    First, stop buying anything from VaporFi, they simply re-brand everything and charge double for putting their name on it. And they are not re-branding high quality equipment to begin with, I could only imagine what low quality batteries they are using. You can get high quality batteries from the...

    Thoughts on the vaper stereotype?

    The "clouds bro" stigma is not the impression we should be concerned with, it's the impression that vaping is still smoking that bothers me. If people really understand what vaping is they will have no problem with giant clouds. I have had people actually cough (forcing themselves) when they...

    Newbie Question Again!! Re. Lowering Nic/Raising Wattage

    I make my own juice and I have moved my nic percentage around numerous times. I have never experienced what you are describing. My guess would be the mixture of your bottle may be off. To the best of my knowledge nic strength alone wouldn't change anything except the throat hit, can't see how it...

    quick question for the experts

    No one really likes to be labeled and expert, well most don't at least, which is why you have not received many responses I'm guessing. I am no expert and I am not familiar with that tank, but I looked it up and it appears to come with .2 and .4Ω clapton coils. 40 watts isn't a lot to push at...

    You will never effect change from the top down without starting from the bottom. The peoples (voters) perception needs to be altered first, this is exactly what BP, BT and local governments are doing right now with BS like this, and what we should be doing more of. It is nice to see things like...

    Detroit Wayne Mental Health Authority

    Saying vaping is equally as dangerous as smoking is like saying electric engines are equally as harmful as combustible engines. It boggles my mind how the same people that support electric cars (which is nearly everyone), even with limited knowledge of engines, would condemn vaping. Seriously...
