    A correlation between nicotine and tinnitus?

    I started smoking when I was 13, in the early 70s. I quit in 2013 when I started vaping. I gradually weaned myself off vaping by reducing nicotine content, down to zero... but continued to vape until 2018, when I quit altogether. For me, vaping became far less interesting and pleasurable without...

    Getting back into it... anything new and wonderful?

    I quite vaping in 2018. I decided to get back into it (ain't getting any younger, don't care to get much older... and I miss nicotine) Anyway, I was mostly into drippers and squonkers, typically using 316L at around 0.3 ohms and Japanese organic make-up pads to make wicks. So boys, girls and...

    Lithium-ion battery experiments: More power - lasts longer

    More fascinating stuff on the cutting edge of battery development. Scientists at MIT accidentally discover a new way to make lithium-ion batteries last longer and hold up to three times the energy. "The discovery is expected to be an easy one to scale up to mass production, meaning the...

    Deleting a unused blog catagory

    I was creating "categories" for my blog pages... because I discovered I could. This was my first mistake. :rolleyes: Wrote one... clicked OK, then wrote another I liked better, without realizing they are, seemingly, chiseled in stone. Anyone have a path to deleting the first, unwanted...

    Found a interesting article in Stanford News... Stanford University is working on a cheap, flexible, safe and environmentally friendly battery. Recharges in minutes... with a near unlimited recharge cycle life span. The experimental (currently 2V) battery is comprised of an aluminum anode...

    Absolutely identical resistance, or... how to make your head hurt

    After I responded to an interesting thread found here... I started thinking about the (highly unlikely) chances of truly identical multi-coil builds - considering how atomizers are made and the individual components that go to make up the whole - where heating lag time from coil to coil is...

    Education... Wait! Don't scroll past just yet. Want to learn, or teach?

    I see a dangerous situation developing... one that will (and probably already has) cast a negative light on the vaping community at large. People with mechs, APVs and RBAs who know nothing about them - potentially dangerous to themselves and those around them - who need education and...

    Veritas "pattern duplicate" jig

    I was PM'd several times about a fixture I've referred to making, that allows you to produce ready-to-install coil sets for the Veritas. The short article below can be found on another forum, for which ECF will not allow direct linking... so I'm re-posting here to make it a little easier to link...

    Seattle Vapor Co - CASAA donation & SALE

    I have no connection with or stake in them, but I am quite proud they are a Seattle based company and felt I should pass this along. Below is cut & paste, with the last bit *slightly paraphrased, from a recently received e-mail promo. Seattle Vapor Co will be... "donating $1.00 from every...

    2 issues - Can't access Kirsch 2 style & stuck in basic editing

    Have fun trying to read this... 1. Normally, I and most everyone else uses the "Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing" setting. I've logged in and out, reset from basic to full editing - even removed all ECF cookies, shut down and restarted - and still stuck in basic editing. I can't do...

    Thoughts on the future of (high power) APVs

    I was reading a thread about the OP considering the NexGen Futura and a few thoughts came to me... a sort of expansion on an underlying tone in that thread. Rather than post there and sidetrack that thread, I thought I'd start a new, more in focus conversation. If you have an opinion on this...

    Thanks...

    Thanks to the mod(s) that are redepositing clearo and glassomizer threads from the carto tank sub-forum. I certainly appreciate it... and I'm sure others do as well.

    Mech and RBA useful links...

    Lots of good people doing lots of very useful charts, graphs and articles, and last night for some reason, I found myself tossing up links to them quit a bit, so... I thought I'd take the ones I've used the most* in the last week, and put them all in one place. Rebuildables seemed like the best...

    Squape clone...

    After a quick search, I see, surprisingly, that the "Alibaba watchers" haven't picked up on the Squape clone snuck onto their pages, from Tobeco and others.

    "Tank" type atomizers... For new vapists - how they work.

    "Tank" type atomizers... For new vapists - how they work, and why it's a good idea to know this. Thought I'd throw something up to help relatively new (and some not so new) vapists understand how "tank" type atomizers work. Normally, I use the word "tank" to describe carto tanks... but in...

    Used cartomizer batting as wick for RDAs... no, really, I'm serious

    Edit date 10-31. Below is, what has been decided to be a bad idea on my part. Read it for entertainment, but now that we've determined that "polyfill" may not be safe in or near the heat of a coil... I wouldn't recommend it for wicking material. Just a little thing I tripped across - for RDA...
