    Random question....

    Is Alien Visions still a thing? Phil Busardo got me on Boba's and Gorilla Juice years ago. I was thinking of ordering some to have for a wild hair kinda night, but I can't tell if it's the same company with the same stuff.

    Old timer back for help on the new age of vaping....

    Hi all, I spent a ton of time here when I first got into vaping about five years ago. After a ton of trial and error, I basically found a handful of setups I enjoyed, and pretty much have stuck with them since then. Sadly, as time has gone on, companies have come and gone, tech has moved on...

    Ekowool...

    So, after all of the hype, I grabbed some ekowool with my last round of RBA supplies. After running it in a few attys this week, I have to say... I'm not thrilled. It isn't bad, so to speak, but it seems to "overwick" in tank style RBAs, and the flavor seems a bit muted, or maybe just...

    Boba's seems off....

    So, a couple of weeks ago I got a 100ml bottle of Boba's. I had some left from my previous order, so it sat around while I finished it. Today, I went to try it with some ekowool in a dual coil setup. It tasted kinda, well really, off... I tinkered a bit, and decided maybe I was just so used to a...

    What do?

    So, I've been playing with rebuildables for a while now. Mind you, nothing silly, just plain jane around 2 ohm rebuildables(for the flavor not cloud chasing). I have run into a few questions that boggle my mind a bit, so I'll just let her rip.... 1) Dual coils, I've mostly stayed away from...

    Question in regards to Greek "polycarbonate"

    So, I've got several Kir Fanis tanks and an Ithaka. I usually vape tobacco or bakery sorts of juice, but I've recently had some pretty delicious juice that involves cinnamon. Being a long time cinnamon gum lover, I wouldn't mind having some around when I need something less rich. My question...

    Count me in the "love it" group

    Got my diver today, and I have to say.... it's awesome! a tad bit fiddly getting the cup and pin right on the first go, but it is working FLAWLESSLY. No leaks, no floods, just awesome RBA flavor and vapor conveniently held in a carto tank. Seriously thinking about getting a few of these things...

    Phoenix acting weird...

    So, I got added a phoenix xl to the collection, and for some reason I can't get the thing to hit right no matter what I do. Silica has been boiled, coil burned, 2 ohms, been trying between 3.6 and 4 volts. No matter what I do I get a burnt, almost metallic taste. Tried 4 different drip tips...

    Resistance and Non-Resistance Wire

    So, I've experimented with the usual forms of RBAs and RDAs. I was originally interested in the Killer, but it sort of fell out of favor due to the inability to remove it without taking the tank apart. I found the Diver, which is much more appealing because of the ability to slide it out without...

    If it doesn't exist.... IT SHOULD!

    So, I've been tinkering around with every delivery device type that is fairly common around here. Done the ego-c, carto tanks, clearomizers, and RBAs. What got me to thinking is the sort of "Boge-gate" situation. I LOVE carto tanks. Easy to use, and with a Kir Fanis/AGR/several models now, the...

    One stop shop

    Hi all, I've noticed while trying to tinker around with various set ups that rebuilding supplies are pretty spread out over several vendors. Does anyone have a vendor they use that sort of specializes in rebuilding items? Someone who stocks kanthal and nichrome in several gauges, several...

    Question for you HHV afficionados...

    Hi all, looking to add to my best of the best rotation. I've only found a couple of flavors that I'm not sick of after an hour, and nothing but tobacco/teaish stuff seems to make it into the ADV pile(yea yea, boba's is my fave, GJ is a close second, I like long walks on the beach, Justin Bieber...

    Coil Help....

    So, I've been through about a foot of 32g kanthal trying to build a coil. I've been using 2 inches for each one, which should be around 2 ohms(right?) and a couple of things: 1) my multimeter doesn't seem to want to read it. It goes from 50 ohms to .1 and everywhere in between. 2) can't get a...

    Cursed!

    So I've had several brands of juice. I eventually gave in to the hype(let's be real, I dove in to the hype), and ordered some boba's.... Since then, I've had 10-20 highly reviewed juices, and the consensus on my taste buds is "hmmm this isn't bad, but I'd rather be vaping boba's." I've come to...

    How do you do your cotton?

    Hey guys, so I've been experimenting with different wicks, the quantity length etc. and I was curious how people do cotton wicks, or are there rules? The reason I ask is that I decided to give it a whirl on a super tightly would coil that can really only fit .5-1mm of silica in it, and trying to...

    Recoiling an EVOD...

    So, I took my first foray into rebuilding today. I recieved my Phoenix RDA in the mail along with some 2mm wick and 32g kanthal. The Phoenix came pre-coiled, so I figured I would get in some practice with my EVOD before messing with the legit RDA. First off, Walmart was out of the multimeter I...

    Storage Solutions

    Hi guys and gals, I have been fretting over(well many random useless vape things because I'm an infinite tinkerer lol) a better juice storage solution. The most common, and mostly only things I can find, are: plastic squeeze bottles(needle, dripper, blunt, blah blah), glass bottles with solid...

    AGR upgrade now available!

    Just thought I'd let everyone know that someone has made pyrex for the AGR. I have the plastic tube version and love it, and 4 extra bucks to upgrade should be a great deal! I don't have any idea how thick it is, but if all you're worried about it juices that crack plastic and not taking it into...

    Couple of Mini Reviews

    Hi all, had a good week for vapemail, and think I crossed over into "serious vaper" territory as well ;) Anyway, got a provari this week and I also got a couple of tanks to go along with it. First off, the Kir Fanis Prive Special: Beautiful work of art! Not a single issue with it. This is...
