    Let's begin some vape journalism!

    I'm not sure if this thread is in the appropriate forum, but mods, feel free to move this as necessary. So, I'm a bit of a techy, and I love reading The Verge. In terms of tech journalism, it's one of the best sites out there. I'm also a bit of a budding writer myself, and have done a bit of...

    Sub-Ohm Vaping, How low have you built your set up?

    0.5, dual microcoil setup, 30 gauge 6 wraps. Doesn't drink juice too quick, pumps flavour and vapor and gives the best vape I've gotten.

    Nano coil cloud bad vapor production

    Not sure if you just took the photo at a bad time, but those coils look like they're heating up really unevenly with big hotspots. Do they glow evenly from the inside right out to the edge? Or do little parts of the coil glow red really quick whilst nothing happens to the rest of it? That could...

    Best way to adjust a build for a warmer vape?

    Interesting, I will give some different coils a go in the future and see how it effects the vape because at the moment I guess I'm limited to what standard microcoils can give me. Yea I've heard of people removing the air tube, the Taifun does have a fairly tight draw but I know I've had warmer...

    Best way to adjust a build for a warmer vape?

    So, I've just finished rebuilding my Taifun GT ready for a few days away where I'll be out a lot and won't be wanting the hassle of dripping. It's a solid build, cotton and microcoil (8 wraps, 30g wire), 1.4ohms so it'll fire on my MVP as well as some mechs, and the flavour is spot on; but it's...

    Holy sh... I've just experienced why people drip.

    I've done builds in my RBAs that packed in flavour with good warmth, but still didn't come close to what I'm getting out of my Omega RDA at the moment, and I've done loads of builds on my RBAs. First proper build on my Omega, and it's already beaten all my RBA builds by miles. Of course I'm...

    Holy sh... I've just experienced why people drip.

    I've always been a tank user. I have Kayfuns, Taifun GTs, and have used many others. I've always seen dripping as a pain, but have always wanted to love it because RDAs are the best looking pieces of kit to screw on your beautiful mods, and all the 'pros' seem to do it and swear by it. You see...

    Tanks for use on my mech

    I have a Taifun GT, and it's the best RBA I've owned. You can change the wick and coil without emptying the tank if you so wish, and building it is dead simple. Looks the part, too.

    Whats your favorite mech clone

    My nemesis clone is my favorite device these days. Whack on a 1.0 ohm build in a Taifun GT and it's a one helluva sexy vapor and flavour machine.

    Dripping: What am I doing wrong?!

    Thanks for the tips guys! Should I give dual coils a go? This dripper came with dual coils and silica wick pre-built, even though it only has one air hole. Worth a try?

    Dripping: What am I doing wrong?!

    Right, here goes. I've been vaping for almost a year, and feel like I've come a long way. I've gone from cig-a-likes, to eGos, to MVPs and Vamos, to RBAs, to mechs, and now, out of curiosity and hearing many people say how great they are, got me my first dripper. It's a Forge (may be a clone...

    Worst Piece of Vape Gear You Ever Bought

    My worst was some Mini Protank clone (it was in a horrifically plain and Engrish-riddled box that clearly want genuine, but I had no idea at the time). Seriously tight draw and next to no vapour production. The same shop also uses, I've learned since, a particularly cheap Chinese brand of lIquid...

    Throat hit without nicotine?

    Thanks for the responses guys. Looks like I might end up trying to just ween myself off the desire of a throat hit slowly over time. I've heard the menthol suggestion before, may be worth giving a go.

    Throat hit without nicotine?

    Is it possible? I've gone down from the 18mg stuff to juices that vary between 6-9mg and I'm finding the throat hit is perfectly fine for me, but it's noticeably less than the 18mg stuff. I'd love to work my way down to 0mg, but I can't imagine vaping without a throat hit. Are there devices...
