    Getting a family member into RBAs

    This Sunday I will be going over to a family members house to teach her about RBAs. She's been vaping on egos and clearos on and off for awhile now I got her interested in RBAs after she tried one of mine. The reason I've been trying to get her to switch to specifically RDAs is that she really...

    My old semi-retired vamo - the progression of vaping

    I started vaping with an ego and a vivi nova that I got from a B&M and over paid for it, but hey it got me into vaping so who cares? After that I found this wonderful website FastTech :p and upgraded to a VAMO and bought some clearos from a different B&M. Shortly after that, I plunged into mechs...

    Tube mods, more specifically mechanical mods...

    I've been vaping for awhile now, almost exclusively with mechs and rdas. As far as rebuilding, and battery safety are concerned I'm set. There's one thing about mechs that I can guess at but haven't figured out and it's been driving me a bit crazy lately. How does the tube complete the circuit...

    Interesting batteries on fasttech... USB batteries?

    I was doing my daily "New Arrival" browsing of FT and came across these $6.04 14500 USB Powered 1.2V 1450mAh Rechargeable Li-ion Batteries (2-Pack) - unprotected at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping They're USB batteries... For me the concept doesn't seem very practical for our uses unless you...

    Vaperize Vapors?

    I found this vendor through a friend on ECF ans was wondering if anybody had heard of or used them before. There website is Vaperize | Welcome. They have some pretty good mods/atomizers/pre-orders but they make you go to a third party form to pay and it seems pretty sketchy to me.

    Well it's official...

    The Vicious Ant Valkyrie Logo

    I know many of us have become desensitized to cloning, ripping off, straight out stealing of intellectual property, largely due to the massive market of clones in the vaping world. Some people turn to them for cost reasons, other people have their own reasons, whatever, I'm not here to judge. I...

    Voltage drop across resistors, in this case, resistance wire

    I understand that voltage will drop when it flows through something that does work. The most common example I can think of would be wire. When electricity flows through wire it loses some of it's power because the wire has a resistance (this energy is lost as heat), over short distances this...

    Hybrid dripper that fits an 18650?

    I'm looking for a hybrid mod that has a dripping atomizer styled top. The only one I've come across so far is the Valkyrie. Every other hybrid I've seen so far has been topped with a genesis style atomizer. Are there any out there? OR are there any dripping atomizers that have Nemesis threading...

    Company policies and vaping, my new job.

    Vaping hasn't been an issue with the job I've had for the past 2 years because I do get any sort of benefits I'm just paid so I didn't have to worry about being a "tobacco" user. Well, I'm starting a new job soon and I don't know if my vaping will be an issue. I've seen posts about this before...

    UPS drives me up a .......ing wall sometimes...

    I ordered some stuff from Amazon a couple days ago. The package was scheduled to be delivered today. When the package shipped from the warehouse I went to the tracking page and requested that it be held for pickup at the ups office near my house. Alright, done I can pick it up on the day it was...

    Ms T's Bakery / Other bakery juices?

    Well it's been almost 2 months but my order from Ms Ts Bakery has shipped. I've had other juices to vape so I really don't mind that it's taken this long. I just hope her juice is as good as I've heard. Are there any other bakery flavored liquid titans out there other than Ms T? EDIT: I'm not...

    Replacement O-Rings?

    I'm a little paranoid that the o-rings that hold on a few of my atomizer caps are going to wear out and break. I was wondering if anybody has complied a list with RBAs and their matching o-rings or knows what size I need for replacements? The ones I'm concerned about at the moment are; Loki...

    I decided to go lower...

    I first started rebuildables with an IGO-L, 32 Gauge Kanthal, and ekowool. I quickly went to other fancy rebuildables built with 28 Gauge Kanthal and cotton. Well, yesterday I decided to try something. I decided to try building with 22 Gauge Kanthal, the only place I found with it in stock...

    Mechanical Mod Sub-Forum

    I'm sure this question has already been asked dozens of times, but I was wondering why there is no sub-forum specifically for mechanical mods. The RBA sub-forum has a lot of info about them but I think a mech forum would be a nice place especially for the discussion of mech versus mech...

    Nemesis Tubes

    Hey guys, I'm looking for a new tube for my nemesis, preferably one that is the length of an 18650. I know Atmomixani sells them but the shipping it would take to order from them makes it out of the question for me. Are there any US vendors that carry Nemesis tubes?

    Can you tell when the battery in your mech is low?

    One of the fears I've noticed people have of using mechs is draining their battery to low since there is no circuitry to cut you off when the battery has had it. When I first started using mechs/rbas I didn't really notice any difference throughout the charge of the battery but as I used them...

    Salivating while vaping?

    I was vaping away this morning and something odd started happening. It's happened a few times before but I put it together today. I would actually start to salivate when I was inhaling. I am really enjoying this setup, more than I've enjoyed anything else in the vape world so far, I figured that...

    Aging Juice - A Night and Day Change

    Hobbe's Blood from TVC has always been pretty good but it's always been a bit perfumy to me. The coconut was always overpowering and pushing the other flavors to the side. I've had the juice for a few weeks and last night I was vaping it (still good but still perfumy) and then I went to sleep...

    Modding an Omega, it's missing the holes!

    So I was wondering if anybody has put holes in the posts of an Omega. I have one arriving, it looks like it will be a good RDA and the fact that it is 22mm is amazing (a large part of why I got it). Originally I didn't want one because of the lack of holes, I decided that I decided I could deal...
