    Any 'supermarket' juices out there?

    OK.... I was wondering if there were any flavorings out there readily available at your local supermarket... I know you can get vape-quality VG and PG off the shelf, but are there any flavors in, say, the bakery aisle that will work? (Yes... aware that nic is obviously something you can't get...

    What is an 'average' voltage drop?

    I've recently fell in love with my humble little Nimbus clone... .7 ohm dual micros on my K100... And I am fiddling around, trying to balance the resistance to get the best vape for the longest time... and I'm now finally circling around the concept that many experienced mech users are familiar...

    V-drop question

    I was thinking about voltage drops and the like and was curious.... let's say you have a fully charged battery in a mech, with some random 1 ohm RDA. Measuring the voltage across the RDA posts, you get 3.8v... so close to a .4v drop. What is the current load on the battery? North of 4 amps...

    Observations about output of the Vamo V3

    Now, the only real technical info I've seen on the Vamo is a really good video put out by Matthew Olmstead, showing how with a single 18650, the Vamo V2 pretty much peters out at 12w. But I've seen nothing on the V3.... I played around with mine a bit and this is what I found.... I only have...

    Has anyone figured out a way to plug that vent hole on the mini RDA

    I recently picked up a 'Squid' mini RDA.... a device that would work great as a little dripper if not for the fact that the vent hole is drilled so it's pretty much even with the deck.... any juice not wicked up ends up dribbling down the side. Problem is that it's microscopic... less than...

    What about a silica core to a SS mesh wick on my RSST

    I've been fighting some juice starvation issues on my RSST lately... I can't take too long a drag before the vapor peters off and things get pretty nasty. I've been trying to come up with ways to increase wicking. I pulled a wrap of mesh off and that seems to have made an improvement, but it...

    Targeting .8 to 1 ohm... 26 or 28 would be best?

    Currently, I have a 3/2 wrap of 28g Kanthal on my SS (400) mesh wick on my RSST (.8 ohms). I know that when it comes to coils, oftentimes, the old adage "more is better" usually applies. I'm finding the vape a little harsh at times, and I suspect it could be due to only having 3 wraps. Would...

    Anyone here use Smartvapes?

    Does anyone here use Smartvapes? I put in an order (my first there) last Saturday.... and this morning, it was still in the processing state. I popped them a note a couple of days ago and got no response.... At this point, I might have to call my card company and start the process of...

    Are those clear dripper bottles safe for nasty juices?

    I recently picked up a couple of 10ml plastic bottles with blunt needles (these bottles)to make life a little easier with my now growing arsenal of RDA/RBAs.... I have some Ecto Cooler from MBV, so it'd do a number on my Evod if I threw it in there. But are these bottles safe to store that...

    Coil Questions: More wraps better? LR leads?

    I finally picked up some bits to wrap my own coils, and after coiling a 32g 7 wrap coil (at 2.2) for my Evod, I started to wonder... Given the same resistance, am I better off going with more wraps with lower resistance wire, or does it not make a real difference? Now, in my mind, I see that...

    Cool... got my very first 'freebie' juice today

    I recently completed my several month long quest to find a tobacco flavor that I liked... and I found 4... (Why I waited so long to try the NETs from HHV, I don't know). I started branching out to find some of the other flavors and I put in an order from ECBlend (first time with them)... 4 from...

    Oh, come on now... this isn't fair

    OK... I branched out of my little HHV NET safety blanket and picked up other juices and wanted to get something diametrically opposed to the hearty tobaccos... It just came in and I couldn't resist, so I busted out my newly cleaned atty (to hell with steeping).. Cinful Apple... Goodness...

    Why don't we see more ego-threaded mods?

    Why are so many mods coming without ego threads? The ME in me sees ego threading as a wider, more stable and durable means of mounting something, especially if it comes in on the heavy side (like a Protank or the Puritank). Right now, most of the ego decices are clearos for the most part...

    Advice on the Smok RDA?

    OK.... got recently introduced to dripping, liked it, then decided to get my feet wet with rebuildables... I looked around and the humble Smoke RDA (aka the octopus) seemed a good choice. Coming from more complicated gadgets, like an Evod with its seals and coils and wicking/leaking concerns...

    got my nJoy free sample... have some thoughts on the vaping world as a whole

    After getting an email a couple of days ago explaining that my order my be delayed due to massive demand... I got my nJoy King (3%). It comes in a little carrying case... and a TINY little cigalike inside. Looks like a cigarette, from the 'filter' to the paper wrapped body all the way down to...

    You know... I am really starting to become a Huntsman fan

    A few weeks back, I got a bottle of Huntsman with an order... After letting it breathe a bit, I gave it a vape and really only got a strong, woodsy kind of taste. It wasn't bad, don't get me wrong, but it seemed really one-noted. Granted, I was going through a hard battle with VT, so I did...

    Looking to wrap ~2.5ohms... best gauge/wrap combo for both evod coils and an RDA?

    I am going to get my feet wet in rebuildables with a Smoke RDA... but I also have a few evod coils that I would like to rebuild as well (my experience with the new PT-style coils has left me... well... they suck). I would like to keep things simple and keep to the same gauge wire... I am going...

    Perplexed... anyone else only get full flavor from their juice at night?

    Ok... this one is driving me a little crazy... From when I wake up until... oh, around 9pm... every juice I have has a muted flavor... But at night, siting on my couch, watching some TV... there it is! Now, I know the sense of taste can vary over the course of the day (I always thought it...

    Why did I have to get vaper's tongue NOW!?!?

    OK... this pretty much sucks sewage... I finally start to build up a supply of some HHV nets.. Got a nice large bottle of Legend, Dipity and Huntsman, with another large bottle of Legend and Dragon's Fire about to get mixed and sent my way... I got the first three bottles last week and aawwwww...

    Anyone vape NETs in a carto?

    I recently picked up a pyrex Smok tank (and cartos) so I could start trying out some of the plastic tank destroying juices.. I threw in some of my 50/50 Legend and started vaping away.... 6 mls in and it seems like the taste is going south (which might be the dreaded VT though) and the draw has...
