    Resistance Lock

    I believe I have a good grasp of TC now and I understand (I think so anyway) the "mechanics" of "resistance lock." What I'm not sure of is the advantages and disadvantages of locking resistance vs keeping it unlocked. Would someone mind explaining how locking or keeping resistance unlocked...

    Base Questions and Advice

    I posted this elsewhere, but this may be the better place. I realize that much of this is subjective, but any guidance will be appreciated. I plan to vape unflavored base. Before I fell off the wagon, I was vaping pure VG, no nicotine at the very end. The VG was from MyFreedomSmokes and I didn't...

    Unflavored Base Vaping Questions

    Upon my return, I plan to vape unflavored base. Before I fell off the wagon, I was vaping pure VG, no nicotine at the very end. The VG was from MyFreedomSmokes and I didn't particularly care for the taste. It had a "cauliflower" taste. I'd prefer no taste at all. Questions: 1. Is there a vendor...

    Returning

    I've decided to return to vaping and looking for some of my old standards (trying to avoid NETs this time around), but can't find two of my old favorites: JG Blend (Ahlusion, I thought, but not) Boba's Bounty (AVE, I thought, but not) Thanks in advance for any help.

    Extraction Question RE: Perique

    I've extracted two Periques. A generic bulk Perique from a local shop using both the heat and the cold methods and more recently I extracted McCelland's tin Perique using the cold method. Neither has resulted in an extracted with a "plum" or any other fermented fruit note. At least nothing...

    Will YOU STOP vaping?

    A recent discussion on the Ahlusion thread got me wondering. If the FDA rules vaping liquids are a "tobacco" product, it most assuredly will be subject to taxation. Yes, I make some twisted connections. Cigarettes are taxed per pack. Assuming that the average smoker smokes one pack a day and...

    papabogart's redux

    This is my second serious attempt at extraction. This is more a diary than a "how to" but comments will be tolerated. :):facepalm: (in fact, they will be welcome--I'll need the help) Tobaccos are all blending pipes from Pipes & Cigars. Red Virginia Black Cavendish Turkish Blend AAA Burley...

    Comming back to DIY advice.

    Any recommendations for PG,VG and unflavored nic liquid vendors? I'm doing tobacco extractions (NET) exclusively. I'm looking for recommendations for safety conscious, high quality vendors first and foremost, then price. When I first did DIY, MFS came highly recommended, but not sure if that is...

    Akron/Canton Area B&M

    While waiting for my daughter's car to be serviced, I talked her into riding with me to Legend Vapor. I've been trying to check out all of the "local" e-cig shops. I once spent half a day tracking down Vapor Bombs' physical location (hey, I'm retired). Unfortunately, most of the B&Ms are little...

    Kayfun O rings

    Can anyone direct me to a list of the ID and OD for the Kayfun Lite (more specifically, the Tobeco clone) O rings? I'm hoping to get back-up replacements for all of the O rings. Thanks.

    With BF and CM upon us, I'm looking to pick up an inexpensive APV (I'd Like to stay under $60) Currently I have VV eGos and an eVic. I just purchased a number of panny 10 amp flat-tops, so I'd like something that the batteries will work in. I do build usually 1.2-2 but I have no desire to...

    Sherlock Ohms looking for Dr. Wattson (Batitude will do)

    Thanks to all the advice and links from Batitude I've gotten into rebuildables (RDA). I've found that duals help the flavor of some of the eliquids I'm using but I've run into a problem. Total ohms of the duals is 1.6. In order to get the coils to fire up (glow red-within a reasonable time-like...

    Unfortunately, I'm no Sherlock Ohms

    Is there a tutorial that explains the advantages/disadvantages and when and whys to use attys of higher or lower resistance? What variables (juice, battery mod manufacturer delivery system) influence the selection of the proper atty resistance? Thanks.

    Vaping Resicue

    Not sure where to find this information on the forum and as it is directed at longtime vapors, I suppose the New Member's Forum may not be the best place to ask, but does vaping (especially including vaping NETs) leave any residue on walls or furniture? It would be nice to be allowed to come...

    PG Sensitivty?

    I may be sensitive to PG as I'm showing some of the signs. My question is does anyone have any experience with how much PG content a PG sensitive person might be able to tolerate (10, 20, 50%)? or.. are people who are PG sensitive going to need 100%VG? I know reactions are going to vary based on...
