    Chemistry question for a layman: Which is safer for health, silica wick vs cotton wick?

    The idea of using a silica wick (or any wick, for that matter), and not just a piece of silica mineral, is that it absorbs and holds a decent quantity of e-juice in contact with the hot coils, and draws in more juice to keep the area around the coils moist. Unless you were actually melting the...

    Chemistry question for a layman: Which is safer for health, silica wick vs cotton wick?

    I have my worries about respirable silica particles from wicks. In high enough quantities, such particles cause micropneumosilicosis, a mouthful of a disease that is quite horrible and quite incurable. It's highly dependent on the size of the particles, but I figure getting burned and broken in...

    How do I get to the classifieds?

    So I'm interested in picking up an inexpensive RBA, and everyone's always talking about the classifieds, here... I figured I could score an RSST from someone who just got a kayfun, or something like that. The closest guess I've got is the link up top under "Community" that says iTrader - but...

    Comment by 'BreatheCream' in '(1) Proper Terminology - Is it a carto, a tank, or what? A Guide to Juice Attachments.'

    Do RBAs really require a high drain IMR battery? I thought I could get away with one on any decent 510 battery... What's IMR, anyway? I'm still pretty new at this, just looking into picking up my first RBA...

    Can I bring my ego into NFL stadiums?

    I'm sure you could get away with it if you just hold your hits for a long while - I've found that the cloud really diminishes a lot if you hold it. As for getting it in, if you keep it on a string, you might try flipping it around to hang down the middle of your back - I've never seen anyone...

    What do you refer to your device as?

    I've been going with "vapor pen" just because that's what I was introduced to it as... But I'm not too satisfied with the name. Sometimes I'll just call it my vaporizer, but that has connotations with some other kinds of substances that people use, and might get a raised eyebrow from someone...

    My Dr. knew right away.....

    I feel like I must be the only person who's switched to vaping that hasn't noticed much of a change in lung capacity - and I used to smoke unfiltered rollies! I will say, though, that I'm choking a lot less (yes, like when drinking water - it's not an uncommon smoking effect, I've heard), and...

    Don't knock it, until you try it..

    People are, in general, extremely resistant (and sometimes hostile) to anything that makes them feel guilty. Vegetarians and vegans can tell you all about this (and don't tell me about "preachy" vegetarians - I hear at least 5x the preaching and heckling from carnivores to veg-peeps than vice...

    Help flying tomorrow morning

    I feel like this is a big part of why anyone would not allow vaping... Or they just haven't been told that themselves yet!

    Very Irritating Experience (Kanger ProTank II)

    So much to consider, so much potential for personal modifications and tweaks... Vaping is a bit like the linux of nicotine ingestion!

    Very Irritating Experience (Kanger ProTank II)

    Haven't gone through every reply here, so my apologies if it's been said already but - I've found that sometimes if the battery's socket has some juice (or juice residue) in it, it will sometimes perform like OP is describing - likely "shorting" within the 510 cup, so no power actually gets to...

    Dry Burning / Cleaning Coils

    Okay, this post has maybe convinced me to try rewicking some of my PT heads... it just seems so small and fiddly. We'll see how it goes.

    My eGo Fix/mod

    That's a pretty awesome hack. Congrats on your success and skill-building, and serious props for preventing more environmental damage from the manufacture of new stuff! Fixing and second-hand is always best.

    Aspire BDC - First 2 Days Review

    I'm using the "new" Anyvape Davide which uses Aspire BDC heads... I have to say that they're not super-consistent in the heads' quality. Better than my old ProTank heads, but not much...

    Tobacco Anyone?

    I started with tobacco flavors from Verimillion River - Kentucky Premium Blend, Classic Blend and Cowboy Killer. My favorite was the Cowboy Killer - it's the least sweet and "over-flavored" of them, and it's a pretty thin (high PG) juice which works well in the stock clearos I use. The Kentucky...

    looking to upgrade

    From what I've read here, it's not prudent to say that FastTech is a good vendor... It seems that they're actually a portal for many different sub-vendors and manufacturers, and their pages are flooded with counterfeit products, even if they say "genuine." The price is right, but buyer beware...
