    Once again, I'm about ready to give up

    A few weeks back, I posted that I was getting fed up with DIY because no matter what I did I could not mix a decent juice. You all encouraged me to keep trying and I appreciate that. Well, I have been trying and I'm again ready to throw in the towel. I've downloaded dozens of recipes, from ECF...

    Where, oh, where do I find magnets for my Prism switch?

    I recently got a Prism V2 and love using it....except for the switch magnets. They are much too "soft" and will not keep the mod, which is quite heavy, from auto-firing. I'm thinking that if I installed stronger magnets, it would help. But where does one go to find the proper magnets? Also, is...

    One year

    Despite what my banner indicates, it has been one year today since I put down the cigs and took up vaping. It's been a ride, to say the least. But I am so happy that I did it. Just wanted to pass along how thankful I am that I made the decision. And thanks to all here who helped me along the...

    Enlarge air hole on Reomizer

    Hi, guys...I got my first Reo Grand with a Reomizer a few weeks ago and am enjoying it. However, the draw is very tight through the stock 1mm airhole. I want to enlarge it, but am unsure how big a diameter I should go. I don't think I want to go "dripper" size! Also, is there an easy way to do...

    Just about ready to throw in the towel...not really, but need some help

    I have mixing my own juices for several weeks now. I follow the recipes, follow TFA's flavor percentage recommendations, steep for days, etc., etc. I have probably 70% of TFA's flavors and have tried various mixes and %s. And I have yet to come up with a good tasting juice. Well, one, which is a...

    Springs

    Let's say I have a crappy spring in a clone I bought and I want to replace it with a sturdier version. And let's say I know nothing about springs. 1. Where do I go to find a spring that will fit? I've tried the hardware store route and that didn't work out. 2, How does one determine the...

    Fogger V4 airflow holes

    Is this normal for the V4? I have three of the V4s and on every one of them the AFC covers the airflow holes when the ring is adjusted full open. See pic.

    What? No more e-smoking!

    I am so glad to see that ECF has finally changed "e-smoking" to "vaping." Took awhile, but I'm very happy we got there!:toast:

    Battery got warm real fast!

    I was using an EHPRO Helios clone at about 0.6 ohms dual coil. Mod was a K100 (I know...an oldie, but goodie!). Battery was an EFest IMR 18650, 2500 mAh, 35 amp. I had used this setup for a few days without issues. Today...oops! I hit it one time and I felt the body of the mod warm up, fast.. I...

    Acetyl pyrazine

    Can someone please enlighten me regarding the use of acetyl pyrazine (AP). I understand it's used to add a "nutty" or "bready" flavor to juices. Do you use AP only in bakery or tobacco juices? At what %? I am stuggling specifically to make a good bakery (muffin, cake, danish) flavor and am...

    mg/ml vs. % by volume

    Quck question: is it proper to say that if a juice is labeled as, say, 1.2% by volume it's the same as saying it contains 12 mg/ml? Edit: or say, it's labeled 1.2% by weight?

    Unidentified clone mods and RDAs

    Recently, I have seen several websites offering clones of a mod or RDA but do not identify the manufacturer. I did ask one site who a mod maker was and they told me. Another site, however, would not disclose who the device maker was. I am very reluctant to purchase a clone when I don't know who...

    Parts vs. Percent

    I recently saw a post for a DIY juice where the OP listed the ingrediant amounts as "parts." For example, 3 parts this, 2 parts that, 1 part the other thing. I don't understand. How does this relate to percent or drops per mix? :confused: Edit: I appreciate everyone's response. Maybe I should...

    Announcing the arrival of....

    ....my first Reo Grand! It's got a black wrinkle case and drab olive door. I purchased the Reomizer with it. I now have a .9 ohm coil in it and am vaping happily away. I'm still learning when to squonk and how much to squonk, but I'm catching on rapidly. I've been vaping for about 10 months...

    Looking for help with Valkyrie clone switch

    I apparently have a short somewhere in an EHPRO Valkyrie clone switch. The coils only glow a dull red when fired (bare of wick, of course). I have to press very hard on the switch to get them to do that. And tonight, I could feel the switch get warmer as I was playing with it. I've asked the...

    What's up with my Valkyrie clone?

    So, I got an EHPRO Valkyrie clone a few weeks back and was enjoying using it with a .8-.9 ohm dual coil. Great flavor, good vapor production, etc. Then, one day, I noticed that the vape was not up to par. It was like not enough power getting to the coils. At first, I thought the battery was...

    Forty years younger....

    I'm nearly 68-years old but, I swear, when I get vapemail I feel forty years younger. Aside from getting all exciting about whatever I have ordered being in the mailbox, I really jump when a vendor sends me an add-on. Just within the past couple of days, I got a Lightning Vapes poster, courtesy...

    What the heck is "tiger brass?"

    I've heard several YT reviewers use this term. What does it mean? Any different than regular ol' brass?:huh:

    Loose negative post on Fogger V4

    Recently received a Fogger V4 and in trying to build it, the negative post on the deck unscrewed as I was unscrewing the Phillips screw sitting on top. I put the post back in and tried to tighten it up using small pliers. No luck...as soon as I try to unscrew the Phillips, the whole post comes...

    IGO W with a problem

    I recently received an IGO W and it's been laying around for several days. But tonight I'd thought I'd build it. Ran into trouble right away since one of the negative posts pretty much spins freely. I thought maybe taking a pair of long-nose to it would tighten it up. Didn't work. But these...
