    US shipping cutoff dates - USPS, Fedex & UPS

    My memory sucks nowadays but a long time ago before there was any brick and mortar stores didn't we just order straight from China? I remember waiting to see if my order cleared customs. Which it usually did. I was ordering 60mg e liquid and cutting it down with 0mg. We also ordered our dse-901s...

    Oral cancer scare for vapers, I hope they're wrong!!!!

    I'll wait for real life data. Since it seems to me the most often used phrase in the scientific community is "Scientists now believe" aka We were wrong, Again. But are to egotistical to admit it.

    Possible disadvantages of a squonker over a RTA

    There is no drawback for me to squonking. I have a dual battery regulated mod so my batteries last me 24 hours. My mod is rod fed, Not bendy, leaky tube fed. It takes me about 6 seconds (yes I've timed it) to refill the bottle with 7 ml of juice. Changing flavors is even quicker because I have...

    Pet Peeve

    There's always two ways of looking at things. I wish when I started vaping someone that has been vaping for 8 or 9 years would have showed me the kindness of taking the time of trying to save me years of hassle and grief, Not to mention a small fortune. Because that's what I went through. I...

    POD or not to POD

    Things have turned full circle. I started on a small, discreet, high nicotine and simple device 9 years ago and now they are back in style. I won't be going to them because I'm now addicted to the huge satisfying hits I get with my current device. But if I didn't make my own juice and coils...

    Struggling with squonking.

    For me the Dead Rabbit is real build dependant. It's real hard for me to get conistancy with it. And it's not just what coil I use, It's also the coils have to be placed just right, wicking just right etc. When you nail it you get a great vape. Other times? Not so much. I've been using the...

    wth - I failed age verification

    I've ran into a couple places that wanted age verification. I exit out of that page and go somewhere else. Yes, I'm of legal, old and grouchy age... But to do that after you've placed your order would pi$$ me off.

    Xtar VC4 question

    Protected batteries have a protection circuit built into them. (IPC chip, integrated protection circuit) if I remember right. Kind of like regulated mods have a circuit that keeps them from short circuits etc. They aren't good for modern mods though as the amps with them are dangerously low. We...

    Just got my Recurve, got a few questions about installing coils

    I found just a mm or two shorter worked better for me. I watched the designer of the RDA build it and when the coil was just a little shorter than the towers he said it was perfect.

    Just got my Recurve, got a few questions about installing coils

    Those Allen wrench looking tools that came with it are leg gauges. Slide your coil into the long part. Then cut the legs flush, or just a tad shorter than the short part of the tool. Then place the coil with the top of the coil flush or just a little shorter than the top of the RDA. (The airflow...

    Pazzo One Shot's Queen?

    I've tried all 5 of the flavors. I like Joker, Jack and King in that order. The ace and queen aren't my cup of tea. But the others I vape the heck out of.

    Chemistry question: Could propylene glycol cause depression & other symptoms as study suggests

    Anna mentioned earlier what I noticed about the OP. I notice this type of thing a lot. The sly innuendo masked by a seemingly innocent concern. They are smart enough to know that casting doubt is often more effective than making easy to deny claims of fact that will get people to dig their heels...
