    Oxidized center post?

    My first experience in sub ohm vaping was on a Nimbus a few months into building coils... I used a multimeter, and didn't get any strange readings but my centerpost was definitely flamed looking after my coil. My guess is when the top cap went on I must have moved a coil and shorted somewhere...

    Will a 16g blunt tip fit in a ZAU?

    I know it comes with an 18g but it's tough to pull 100 vg through it... Can someone tell me if 16g fits ok into the ZAU or do I need to stick it out with 18g? Thanks!

    Portable Tank recommendations?

    I'm looking for something that I could carry with me filled without worrying about leaking. I'm not sure which (if any) can be transported in a carrying case without leaking (ie. leaving it on its side). I'm not worried about glass since it would be in a case, just trying to find something...

    Anyone store their liquids in a dedicated case? (suggestions?)

    I'm looking for some ideas on how/what to store my bottles and pv in... I'd like to have my entire setup contained as opposed to having pieces scattered about and the only thing I can think of is using a large tackle box. Is there a better solution for this (perhaps something that includes...

    Is there reasoning behind choosing PG/VG ratio? Does one offer more vapor while the other more flavor or something like that? Also, what is "steeping"? thanks!

    New to e-cigs... advice?

    Hello all! I just recently tried Logic Black and while I like the vapor aspect and nicotine delivery, I could do without the faint lavender taste and smell as well as the unrealistic look. I go out for smoke breaks at work and do not want to draw extra attention by smoking a black metal pipe...
