    When did…

    …this group start advertising head shops and Grasscity? I thought any and all dr*g references were strictly prohibited.

    Battery wrap peeling

    At what point does a peeling 18650 battery wrap become unsafe? Some of mine are starting to peel back where it wraps at the base. Thanks!

    Moving on from Joyetech Procore Air tank. :(

    I have been very happy with the Joyetech Procore Air tank for the last 2-3 years. It gives me the mouth to lung open draw of a dripper, with the ease of changing a coil, and a large tank. I know tanks and coils are eventually phased out, and this seems to be the case with my favorite tank and...

    Anyone down to 0% nicotine?

    Hi All! Sorry if this is long. This place is a lifesaver. I was a 30 year PAD smoker. Tried all the recommendations to quit. Resigned to smoking forever. I heard of vaping in 2013 and found this site. The day my Ego arrived in the mail on April 15, 2013, I put down the cigs and haven’t had a...

    Vaping deaths/Dank Vapes/Odd Timing

    I don't believe that the sudden rash of vaping illnesses and deaths was random. The timing and short duration of the outbreak has a pattern. Vaping has been around for a long time - more than a decade. The recent tragedies-with the media and government hype, has been used as a weapon against...

    Trying to keep up :(

    The Vaping products are evolving faster than I can keep up. I quit a PAD 30 year cigarette addiction more than 6 years ago. Vaping saved my life! My problem over the years is that once I find a tank and coil with the ohms and open draw I like, it quickly becomes obsolete. I can't find...

    Has anyone else seen these news reports in the last 24 hrs?

    They all say how bad ecigs are, based on 75 cartridges tested in 2013.

    6 Years Smoke Free!

    This post is not about getting congrats. It's to let people know that quitting smoking is not easy - but it's very possible! And to encourage them to take that step to vaping, or if they have and are struggling-keep at it! I actually didn't quit for myself. I started smoking at 15. I didn't...

    18650 Battery Wrap Wear

    Question: Some of my 18650s are starting to show wear on the wrapping. A nick here or there, minor peeling on the ends. At what point are they unsafe? I use regulated box mods. Voopoo, Ileaf, Joyetech Espion. Thanks!

    Still Smoking In My Dreams

    On April 15, 2013, I made the life changing decision to put out my last cigarette and pick up a vape pen, ending a 30 year pack a day habit. I haven't relapsed, cheated, or had a single puff since that day. But my dreams are a different story! Several times a week, I still smoke in my dreams...

    BWB Malty Toffee Clone

    Backwoods Brew Malty Toffee has been my daily vape since January 2014 (longer than I thought!). My last cigarette was 4/15/2013, almost 4 years ago. I spent a lot of money with a lot of vendors on a ton of flavors - lots and lots of trial and error in the beginning, on not only flavors, but...

    Emergency Room Dr. on Vaping

    I had the unfortunate occasion of visiting the ER this weekend. They took the usual vitals and history, and when the Dr. asked if I smoke, I said no, but I vape. Her immediate response was then you're a smoker. She went on to say recent studies show its just as bad or worse than smoking. I...

    Replacing my worn out 30W box

    Hi all! I kicked a 30 year PAD Marlboro habit 3 years ago, thanks to the great people here. After the usual buying every shiny thing and trying a hundred flavors, I found my favorite juice, and best box 18 months ago. My top is a Paradigm Magma dripper that I rebuild, and a Clouper DNA 30W box...

    E-cig Public Ban Proposed-Rehoboth Beach, DE

    Earlier this year, I was happy that Mayor Sam Cooper of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, struck down the portion of of the public city/beach ban of smoking that included e-cigarettes. He was correct in his argument that there was no public health or littering threat, which were the main reasons cited...

    Magma clone help - post spinning

    I received my magma clone from Fluid Vapes and started a build on it this weekend. I contacted them through their website on Saturday but haven't heard back yet so I thought I'd throw this out to see if any experts here can help. The left post is secure, bit the right post spins when I try to...

    Built my first coil!

    Today I picked up an Atomic EHpro clone to try my hand at rebuilding. On my first try, I built an (almost) perfect 1.2 ohm single coil. I also learned why people drip a lower nic level. Pinging off the walls here! :rickroll::rickroll::banana::banana: It wasn't near as hard as I thought. My...
