    VAPENW

    I've made about 10 flawless orders from them.They're just north of me, so I get the package in about 2 days. I haven't had to test their customer service.

    DIY E-Juice - Gloveless, Goggleless

    No gloves or goggles, mix with 100mg, no ill effects after about a year of DIY. I mix near the sink and wash immediately if I get any on my hands or fingers, which is rare. I usually measure and drop the nic in first. That way it's the only thing I have out and I immediately seal it and put it...

    Sigelie

    I run a Plume Veil with dual parallel coils using 28g at .34ohm at 65-80w depending on my mood. I run dual standard coils using 28g at .5ohm in my Big Dripper at 50w. My next experiment will be with dual parallel 26g coils in my Plume, but I'm not in a hurry because both those setups already...

    long or short drags from your c-- cig

    Depends entirely on the device I'm using and it's settings. RDA at high power = short, powerful, airy lung hits Clearomizer with tight draw = long, steady, mouth to lung

    Ordered diy juice supplies

    Experiment with small batches first until you find one you like. Read the TFA recipe thread (it's huge). Set aside any first attempts that you don't like...they often get better with time (steeping). Oh, and your first bottle should probably be unflavored (at your chosen nic level). You...

    Which e-cig helped you quit smoking?

    Failed with a cigalike. Quit cold turkey with a basic ego/kgo starter kit and CE4/Vivi Nove Mini tanks. Went to the VTR/Protank 2 about a month later. Started rebuilding my coils. Ran that for months. Recently went to a Sigelie 100w with plume veil RDA and big dripper RDTA. Christmas Eve...

    Questions about DIY e-juice

    You've got some great advice here so far. I'll just comment on your #4 question. Many DIYers make flavorless liquid because it's awesome all by itself. The nic has a peppery taste that many people like. It's also good for clearing a flavor out of your dripper when you want to change, if...

    Looking for ideal box mod/RDA combo

    If you want mechanical box, it's hard to beat the REO. A benefit of the Sigelei is the dual batteries. You probably don't need 100w (I typically run my .3 plume veil at 65w and occasionally up to 80w, and my Big Dripper at 50w), so when you run it lower you get the benefit of better battery...

    Just want to understand the high wattage users

    I went from 2.5-3ml/day to 10-15ml/day going from a VTR running at 15w with a rebuilt/microcoil/cotton Protank 2 to a Sigelei 100w running 65-80w with a Plume Veil RDA. I also went from 18mg to 6mg.

    Satisfaction hard to achieve- any tips/help appreciated

    Nic delivery increases as the power of your setup increases. With carto/clearos (like your starter kit) I started at 18mg. My wife, who was a 2-3 pack/day smoker, started at 18mg, experimented with 24mg, and has gone back to 18mg. When I went to a dripping RDA I had to drop to 6mg. My...

    what kind of wicks do you prefer

    I've been using Koh Gen Do cotton and it's great. At the same time, at least for what I paid for mine, it's significantly more expensive than cotton balls. I want to try cellucotton/rayon but I'm not ready to buy a giant 3lb box of it yet. I haven't been able to find a reliable local source...

    Buying local (B&M) Vs the Internet

    B&M always gets first shot at my money. This is true for vaping and my other hobbies (golf being the big one). I expect a markup due to overhead. I also expect that markup to be reasonable. When it's not, and they won't deal, I buy online. There are two shops I regularly visit. One is a...

    Voltage drop on a Reos Mod?

    Pbusardo has a voltage chart in his Reo review not only comparing a Reo pre/post "repair kit" but the chart includes other mechanicals and their measured voltage output. Chart is at the 31:54 mark... http://youtu.be/QOcs3kdv97o

    What's the biggest mistake you made as a newbie vaper

    Rushing to fill and screw on my first Protank 2...without putting in a coil. Messy.

    New to buildable RDA's

    A Reo is a great option. Another option, as someone mentioned, is to go the Kayfun/Taifun/Russian 91% route. Not quite a dripper RDA experience but well above your typical clearomizer. A newer option is the Big Dripper (or clone). It still has air holes that will leak juice, but if you...

    Poll: Highest price you ever paid for a pack of smokes...

    $11 or so in Vegas. Wife was 2 packs a day at the time and closer to 3 packs while on vacation. I was about half a pack a day but about a pack on vacation. We didn't pack a stash because we were naïve to the price (it's about $5.50 locally). I think I lost more on smokes than I lost gambling.

    Immediate Throat hurting, nausea, feel of passing out, my heart hurts. All after vaping

    From what I can gather from the google machine, your Ecto BDC is a clone/similar design of the Aspire BDC. Looking at various Aspire BDC "dry burning" or "cleaning" responses on the internet, it appears many people have trouble dry burning or cleaning this design and many of those threads...
