    Long time away - Checkin in

    Hey DIY'ers, I used to be very active here back in 2013-16 but DIY vaping has become such an easy routine that I don't really follow the industry much anymore. Anyways, I've been mixing for 4 people since 2013. Oddly, I'm the only one left who still occasionally vapes flavored juice. The other 3...

    Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

    Hey fellow tootlers, haven't been active here in a loooong time. Vaping life has been on cruise control. I switched to unflavored a year ago and never looked back. My vapocalypse stash is going strong. My nic base from 2013 is still good as new. I haven't even touched my 2015 vintage nic yet...

    Are you done stocking up?

    You and I are in the same exact place. lol. I haven't bought "new tech" in over a year and the stuff I vape every day has been around for over 3 years. It all does what I need. I got sucked into shinyitis for a while. I won't deny that but once I settled in with my preferred RTA's I stopped...

    Are you done stocking up?

    It steeps by itself so to speak since I mix 500mls at a time. Since there is batch overlap, I don't finish the 500ml bottle for about 6 months. My favorite unflavored nic bases are VapersTek and RTS (circa 2016). I also have Nude, Wizard, and RTS circa 2013 and they aren't as good for...

    Are you done stocking up?

    Update to my stash from 1 year ago...good god does a year go by fast. I picked up a large assortment of Picos, VTC Minis, and Sigelei spark 90's in august of last year. I also picked up a Clouper mini 30w. The Clouper is the only death. It started to fire by itself so I tossed it in the trash...

    Seems like most users are sub-ohmers ?

    Good posts already. I jumped in in 2013 when protanks and evods were all the rage. I watched the birth of low resistance and high airflow. I tried to like it. I really did. But I kept going back to low power because it did what I wanted it to and I very much enjoyed the vape. For the last 2...

    Nicotine Comparisons

    Ha! My wife is @ 18mg and hasn't dropped at all in 4 years. She feels guilty about it too and I always reassure her that at the end of the day...who gives a crap? I have enough nicotine on hand to last her lifetime and part of someone else's. lol. She only goes through 3-4mls/day and I roll...

    Nicotine Comparisons

    I'll vape unflavored for 2-3 days and then switch to a day or 2 of hangsen tobaccos. Seems to reset the taste quite nicely. I've definitely gravitated far away from experimentation the last year or so. I haven't tried a new flavor recipe in forever. I've settled into the aint broke don't fix...

    Nicotine Comparisons

    I vape 4-5mg @ 60vg/40pg. I get my pg/vg from exclusively from Essential Depot. I'm a low power vaper though. 10-12 watts in kayfun lites and V5's with a 1.2ohm kanthal 2.5mm micro and organic cotton wick. I've been set on that build for nearly 2 years. I've dabbled with plenty of other builds...

    The Hangsen Thread

    Ha! Nope, not me. I'm a completely unfamous and boring financial risk analyst. My only claim to fame is a 7 year stint as a ski bum living in the rockies during the 90's. I was in a fringe ski film jumping off stupid stuff and trying to kill myself on the regular. lol I mix DS @ 4-5%. If that...

    The Hangsen Thread

    Hey fellow Hangsen lovers! I've been off the forum for probably 6 months. I've had nothing to say or add honestly. I'm still in the same exact groove I was 6 months ago (probably even more simple nowadays). Desert Ship has remained my #1 for 4 years. I'm convinced that I'll never tire of it. If...

    Nicotine Comparisons

    Haven't been on the forum much. Figured I'd post an update on my nic stash. I've been vaping unflavored more and more lately. I'm probably up to 75% unflavored nowadays. I still love my Hangsen tobaccos so don't get me wrong, I still love flavored juice but unflavored is so easy on coils/wicks...

    How's your health nowadays?

    EKG in December was perfect. Haven't had a chest cold in 4 years. I can run a mile in the mid 8's. All in all I feel as good as I did in my 20's and I'm almost 50.

    New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

    MTL and sometime hybrid mtl/dtl. No big pulls or chain vaping. I use organic cotton wicks in kayfun style tanks. I wrap my own coils (2.5mm micros). My wicks never burn. They usually last 4-7 days per re-wick (unflavored juice is super easy on wicks). I use that as a gauge. I prefer a cool...

    Are you done stocking up?

    Hey folks! Been off the forum for many months. I've had no reason to discuss much because I haven't bought a thing since the stock up madness last year. I have a sigelei spark 40W mod that I've been using near daily for over a year. It's been dropped countless times and the connection is bent...

    New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

    Haven't been around the forum much and this thread has gotten MASSIVE. If someone would be kind enough to give me the skinny....lol I vape 60/40 vg/pg unflavored 75% of the time using a 1.2ohm a1 kanthal @ 10.5W. Am I going to die? :) The only flavored vapes I do nowadays are simple hangsen...

    Seems like less posting on ECF lately

    Good point about the stories. It will be 4 years on June 18th since my last cigarette. I feel completely 100% detached from tobacco smoke. When I quit CT back in 2000 for 5 years I never felt detached. I felt tortured and teased the whole time until I gave in with just 1...and then a pack a day...

    Seems like less posting on ECF lately

    Exactly. I'm 100% in the aint broke don't fix category. I honed in my sweet spot. All my mods can push 60-90 watts but I never go over 15. LOL. All my gear works as good as the day I bought it. I can fix anything that goes wrong. I have extras of extras of every single part I'll ever need. I...

    Seems like less posting on ECF lately

    I would help out more but honestly I feel like a dinosaur now. I was totally in the cutting edge crew for years though. When the variable volt revolution took place. And the series of earth shattering PROTANKS came out. Then RTA's surged and I found nirvana with single coil kayfuns along with...

    Seems like less posting on ECF lately

    I used to be active here. Then I stocked up for a couple decades and I realized I didn't need to experiment anymore because I had everything I needed. Then I started vaping unflavored most of the time and only DIY 2 recipes that include flavors (the same flavors that I loved 3 years ago). What...
