Jman8 and HgA1C, awesome points. And when I quoted my prices in an earlier post, that was for local shops, here in AZ. If you're not doing a huge run, it becomes even more expensive to go to China to do things, because now you have shipping and logistics. Chineese manufacturing is only...

Sorry you dont like the argument, but you seem to be .....ing about something you know nothing about. If it's so cheap and simple, where's your product? Why arent you rich? You obviously know about the market, you obviously have ideas on how to do it. I wish it was only just the lathe costs...

You dont need a million dollar budget for R&D, but there is time spent creating prototypes, testing the electrics and refining the design so that it can be consistent from model to model. That consistency is something I dont see from the chineese clones. There's also the huge issue of materials...

It's the squeaky wheel theory. This is EXACTLY how the tea party came to rise in power. They are constantly complaining to thier representatives and are adamant that thier views be taken seriously. How do they do this without massive lobby dollars and cannot compete with the likes of Big Oil...

The biggest problem here is that as a populace, we are horribly scientifically illiterate. That science already exists. There's a real good reason that we use the ingredients that we do; because they've been in use for other atomizing/vaporizing delivery systems for well over 50 years. We do...

This is statistically not true. Each printed letter represents approximately 1,000 constituents. Each phone call can have the weight of 10,000 constituents. Emails are still kinda treated with an arbitrary weight, usually almost less than a 1:1 constituent ratio. It's specifically because of...

I think you misunderstand the actual cost of manufacturing and getting a product to market. It's only cheap for the clone makers because they dont have to do any design work, they just need to set the line up. Even a big authentic mod manufacturer spent quite a bit of time, spent money on...

Ex-smoker/non-smoker. Been vaping for 1.5 years (1yr 6mos). Hovering between 6mg and 3mg. 3mg is harder to find, so I do bounce back and forth between the 2. Planning on trying to be to 0nic by end of year.

I used guidelines from CASAA, but inserted my own text so it didn't sound like a form letter.

Recently I responded to a call to action by contacting both my senators and my congressional representative. It's been several months since doing this and this is the first and only response I've recieved: Thank you for contacting me about the Food and Drug Administration's regulatory...

Interesting discussion here. Found this trying to google a clone recipe for some of the FP flavors. I did splurge around christmas time and got all 5 flavors plus the uber pricey castle long. That being said, have all of you been spoiled by ONLY buying juice online?! The standard pricing...

Ok, seemed to work fine for a few days, now is slipping back into the problem. It is *NOT* dirty contacts. This thing has been stripped out and cleaned quite thoroughly several times at the bare component level. What seems to be going on is that the manufacturing tolerances suck. The metal...

Well, it's a nemesis clone. I took it to a local shop that more or less specializes in rebuildable stuff and apv's. Turns out it was the spring in the bottom switch. It wasnt conducting enough, causing resistance in the switch and an overall voltage drop to the atomizer. I replaced the spring...

I got a gifted mechanical clone, which worked great for about a month. Then ceased to work. I've cleaned all contacts and have checked with my multimeter, the body, button, and contact of the mech mod seem to be working fine. Placing the leads to the positive contact and body result in an...

Except I have yet to see your actual qualitative numbers. DVap also stated that he yeilded a higher initial volume, but stripped away non-alkaloid material using organic solvents to isolate and leave only pure alkaloid content and measured the resulting alkaloids; which is where his number came...

It's not that the extraction itself is negligible; it's that it's so dilute as to not matter. With normal PG soak NET's folks are using that at full strength and are not reducing or otherwise concentrating the resulting liquid. They're simply filtering and vaping with some VG added and some...

I typically spend between $30 and $60/month since I've gotten all my mods and atty's. I think last month I topped $100 because I was trying new, expensive juices and got a new atty. If I'm not going crazy with the juices though, it's usually 2 50ml bottles per month for me.

This may have been answered already; however, I believe it is in freebase form as opposed to salts. The only evidence I have is from purchasing at several places and using the titration tests, which result accurately based on stated dilution levels within 1-3mg/ml (I've learned that simple...

Awesome! Thanks for the info Dvap. Really interesting thread, lots to glean. Looking forward to seeing more, Lastlokean! :D

So I guess the next question I have, while waiting for purity testing :) How fragile/volatile are these extra alkaloids? I mean, if we get a pure WTA extract, DVaps numbers seemed to indicate 95% nicotine to about 4.5% other alkaloids (I dont have any more than just what DVap suggested in his...
