    eBay Preventing Vaping Sales

    I very recently had up for auction on eBay a group of my old Kanger products for sale. Imagine my surprise, as I just received a notice from eBay stating they had just cancelled my auction, explaining that my items "violated eBay's policy towards e-cigarettes". I had no idea eBay was so opposed...

    RTA Recommedations

    It's been about a month or so since I got my Subtank Mini, and finally made the transition into making my own coils. I FREAKIN' LOVE IT!!!! But I'd also like to branch out more, and try other rebuildable tanks. I have been digging on the web, but it's hard to know what's good, and what's junk...

    Kanger Subtank Mini - Copper Parts?

    I have been using, and thoroughly enjoying, my Kanger Subtank Mini for a little over three weeks now. But something has always bothered me about the rebuildable deck, and I finally decided to ask about it. One of the deck posts where one of the wire holding screws sits has one side that shines...

    Newbie Questions Regarding Coil Sizes?

    A bud of mine told me that I absolutely had to have one of those Kuro coil winders. So I went ahead and ordered one off of eBay, and I should have it in a few days. But I noticed there are three versions. A 2mm, a 2.5mm, and a 3mm. I know that 1/8" is considered a good starting point, and that...

    Dry Burning Used Coil For Cleaning - Learned Something new! ;-)

    Here I am, over a year into vaping, and loving it more and more every day. Started with the Blu in November of 2013, went to an EVOD/spinner, then a Protank 2 and Mini 3, and finally graduated to an Eleaf iStick 20w with a Kanger Subtank Mini, and have started making my own coils. I love it...

    Newbie to coil making - questions about gauge and wraps

    Please bear with me Folks, as I attempt to clearly explain my situation, without writing a small novel. I just got a new Kanger Subtank Mini, and have finally started to build my own coils. WOW! What an enormous improvement over my Protank 2 and Mini! I am looking forward to learning as much as...

    Kanger Genitank Mega Replacement Glass/Gaskets?

    I have a Genitank Mega that got dropped accidentally, and the glass tank shattered shards into the gaskets. So, thinking this would be easy to replace, I tossed the glass pieces, and the gaskets. I soon realized that there were others like myself that wanted to replace these parts, but had a...

    Brass/Copper Tanks - Safe? Not Safe?

    I may have brought this up somewhere else, but I am really trying hard to get a straight answer about this question, and so far, I have gotten nothing but conflicting views. I recently discovered that Aspire makes the chimney of their Nautilus tank out of chromed brass, despite their...

    Ohms & Vapor & Performance & Results & ....

    It's been one year into vaping for me and my wife, and there is still so much to learn! We haven't made the leap into mods, and building our own coils yet. Right now, we are both still using Vision Spinners with Protank 2's. Occasionally, we bust out our Protank Mini 3's. Since our Spinners...

    Vaping, Better Breathing Control, & Feeling Grateful

    Here I am one year after quitting cigarettes, still feeling amazed and grateful we have vaping. Both my wife and I feel a thousand times better than we could have ever imagined we would. :toast: So, please forgive me for sharing a short novel here. But I just wanted to share this with all of...

    Kanger Coil Replacment Silicone O Rings

    Sorry if this ought to be placed in another thread here on ECF, but I honestly could not find where, so I gave it my best guess. Long story short. Got an aftermarket Protank 2 (not a Kanger one, but a dead-ringer fake) that I gave my wife to use. Had leaking issues where it dumped juice right...

    New Toy - X.Fir E-Fire Kit!

    Not sure if this is in the right place to post, so sorry if it isn't. Took my best guess! :facepalm: A buddy of mine who works in a smoke shop, totally surprised me with a cool gift yesterday! The X.Fir E-Fire carved wooden kit! I charged it, and am using it now. It works great! I love the...

    Protank 2 vs Protank Mini 3

    My drummer had an extra Protank 2 that he was not using, and kindly gifted it to me. I finally got around to trying it out, and MAN! I am shocked at the vapor production, even with the standard issue single coils. Prior to this, I have been thoroughly enjoying my Protank Mini 3, although I...

    Traveling With Filled Tanks?

    My wife and I are heading out of town for the day, and I want to be prepared as much as possible for the road. I have my Protank 2 filled up and ready, and I also want to carry my Protank Mini 3. We are going to be hanging out with our friends Raven (for you metalheads, this would the original...

    Kanger Protank Mini 3 Upgraded Wickless Coils vs Wicked Coils?

    So my wife and I got our new Mini 3's recently, which came with what I am assuming are the old-style wicked coils. I also bought a pack of new coils, and discovered them to be the "upgraded wickless" design. After heavily vaping on the new tank for about 3 weeks, I decided to put in one of the...

    Vaping & Emptying Tanks - How Much Is Too Much In A Day?

    So my wife and I are absolutely loving our new Protank Mini 3's. What a huge upgrade from our old EVOD tanks! No leaks, no gurgles, great taste, and awesome vapor. We also just upgraded our batteries from Ego Twist 650's to Vision Spinner 1300's. I am stunned by how much of a difference this has...

    Just got our new Vision Spinners, and wow! But, have questions.

    As an aside, I searched all over the forum for a specific topic page here on ECF devoted to standard vape pen batteries (meaning not APV/Mods), but could not find one. If I've missed it somehow, sorry for posting this here. And if someone could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate...

    Testimonies From Veteran Vapers

    Forgive me if this has been addressed somewhere else on this board, and please fell free to direct me to the proper threads if it has. I (like many of you here, I am certain) continue to find anti-vaping articles on the web from so-called "experts" who run away with all sorts of paranoid...

    A newbie question regarding e-juice nicotine

    Wow....so much to learn about this wonderful thing called vaping. My question(s) pertain to the nicotine in e-juice. Instead of relying on what appears to be the paranoia coming from the anti-vape crowds, as well as the so-called "experts", I would much rather read the testimonials from those...
