There are benefits to PG. PG is a desiccant and while that has nothing to do with fighting viruses or bacterial infections, it is helpful as a drying agent for the bronchial tubes and lungs. Probably the biggest threat of the corona virus is pneumonia and the lungs filling with fluid especially...

The biggest reason for me purchasing and using RTAs and RDAs, even though I really like simple tanks with screw in coils, is that I have no idea what is going to happen in May with the FDA and vaping. I just have no idea how long I will be able to keep buying throw away coils. If the FDA is...

@Mooch has tested popular chargers in the Batteries and Chargers sub-forum here on ECF. A lot of good information there from someone who has put those chargers through their paces and evaluated them from an informed perspective. Well worth your time to take a look at his analysis and conclusions...

Please give NicRiver or NudeNic a call and I'm sure they can give you a much more precise answer to the manufacturing process used than I could. But yeah, there is a big difference for me. With smooth salts at 6mg it is very smooth to me, with FB at 6mg there is a bit of TH but not too much...

I agree that's the most common reason. Being able to make high nicotine juices tolerable. That's the trait of "Smooth" salt nic. But there's also Hit salts that increases the TH for those that want it. The bottle you have should be labeled with what kind of salt nic you have. So the process of...

Wow! That's a pretty far stretch. Trump didn't start anything, flavor and vape bans had been going on since the last administration, in case you're new to vaping. Trump did talk about flavor ban... months ago, and decided that wasn't a good move a couple of days later after a bit more data. But...

I saw Trump's comments also, and he's acting like the only adult in the room realizing that destroying an industry for the only reason being "the children" is stupid. And he's right. I keep hearing the never vaper's mantra of it's killing people. But the only portion of vaping industry that's...

NicRiver is who I purchase both the Hit and the Smooth... the Hit has a super kick for real. Maybe contact them and have them look into your batch, maybe something went wrong with them. There should be a traceable batch number on the container.

The advantage of nic salts over freebase is the ability to not only regulate your nicotine level, but also to tailor the throat hit you prefer. Most prefer nic salts for lower TH, but for those that want TH at lower nic levels that they can't get from FB ( like 3mg/ml or 6mg) you also have the...

Your coil is really caked it looks like. Time to clean it or replace it. Caked coils don't develop as much heat, and don't come up to temp as quickly. It also looks like one side of the cotton is getting more juice than the other since there is a dark side and a light side of the wick. I only...

This is the new squonking Anna. All the benefits without the fiddlyness of knowing when and how much to squonk. Just the right amount each time once you have it set. Try with the IPV V3mini, it cheap and really works well. But this one has an RBA available , so no buying ADA pods every 2 or 3...

Nice! I picked up the Bronze just for something different. I ordered it a few days ago, so it will be here maybe on Tuesday. I also ordered the RBA, which will probably be the main way I use it if it works well. I'm looking forward to getting it and giving it a try. If it's anything like the X...

I agree with this. The 2 studies I saw from a quick search showed carbon monoxide (CO) was the product in smoking that lowered oxygen levels and slowed the healing process. But carbon monoxide production is from combustion which doesn't apply to vaping. There also seems to be no real healing...

My understanding is that Ti can be dry burned if you are extremely careful not to let the coil get hot enough to create Titanium Dioxide, which is very difficult not to do and is harmful to the respiratory system. If you have to dry burn, for whatever reason, I think it would be best to use a...

The allergen of the year for 2019 will probably be Trump /s

I agree with what's been said by @Eskie and @Wayneo about TC coil materials and add the 2 biggest reasons I don't use nickel wire, and the reason I don't use Ti. 1) Nickel in a fairly pure form like Ni200 (typically 98% or higher nickel) is very malleable, to the point it is difficult to work...

Arctic Fox firmware has never been updated to include the Pico X, so that is the biggest con in my opinion. AF makes a huge difference in TC on the Pico line of mods and makes TC pretty good, not as good as something like the DNA75C or 250C, but not bad at all. The stock firmware on the Pico X...

JUUL is being sued by the fired senior vice president for global finances for not recalling tainted JUUL cartridges according to the lawsuit filed. At least that is the claim of the lawsuit. Not sure of all the facts or details at this point, but here is the article with the actual court filing...

There's a bit more to it than just the final charge voltage. I kind of cringe when people talk about getting two of the same batteries and keeping them "married" forever thinking that's some kind of magic. It makes sense to get the same batteries since if their good cells they should C>D fairly...

You have it right @AvaOrchid . Very simple. Oxygen causes oxidation in nic. Nic can also be degraded by heat and light, but since we are talking about long term freezer storage that's addressed already. Argon is heavier than oxygen, so if you put argon in an enclosed space the argon will migrate...
