    hello from a christian vaper

    I've been posting on the forums a while on the general discussion and a few other places, but never posted here... until now, so this is my first. I'm a Christian, though just barely. I started going to church again in my early 30's, a Continuing Anglican church near where I lived. I...

    what's an easy rebuildable tank?

    I'm looking for a small (2ml), lightweight, easily rebuildable tank as I might want to try making my own coils. Does anything like this exist?

    FDA will WTA survive the FDA?

    Do you think WTA has any chance, especially as AEMSA doesn't support the presence of whole tobacco alkaloids in e-liquid? (they seem to view it as inherently impure due to the extraction process, and not needed). Some think purity standards are needed, but that might completely shut out...

    e-liquid is a "tobacco product"

    E-liquid is marketed as a cigarette substitute and all the nicotine in e-liquid is tobacco derived, so it I don't understand why people are baffled when governments expect to regulate e-cigarettes as a tobacco product.

    FDA e-cigs = tobacco product

    That seems to be the way things are going with regulation, is that correct?

    nicotine actually seems bad for me, WTA seems like the only thing that could work

    I am having no luck vaping nicotine e-liquid. I'm actually beginning to hate regular e-liquid for what it does to me- I'm getting serious tolerance to nicotine, chain vaping, but still craving a cig and when I do smoke, I feel like smoking more than I did when I did not vape. And I'm getting...

    anyone have chinese juices crack plastic?

    I'm just wondering if in general, Dekang and Hangsen juices are safe for plastic tanks, even the clove flavors they make? Why can't e-liquid manufacturers make juices that don't crack plastic tanks?

    do top coils lose vapor production as the liquid drops off?

    Do top coil clearomizers lose vapor production as the liquid is consumed? It seems like it to me but I'd like to ask people with more experience . I'm considering trying a bottom-coil clearomizer. My issue is that I'm just not a heavy vaper right now. I'm using WTA or higher strength...

    litecigUSA's batteries

    Are the shorty batteries that LiteCig sells for the 808 regulated? I've used SI batteries in the past but wanted to order a few more 808 batteries in plain stainless steel.

    throat hit too strong with NET- what to do?

    I have tried some Good E Juice's NET's and I do like them, not sure I will go with it as an ADV due to atomizer issues I've heard about from NET, but I figure it is worth a try. However... I'm noticing at 12mg it has an aggressive throat hit when I vape it in my EGo fresh off the charger. This...

    what's the appeal of mechs?

    I don't understand the appeal of mechs, the safety is lower (no amp protection, the switches can be depressed and fire continuously), the battery is unregulated voltage that declines with use... aside from cloud-chasing and aesthetics, how is this better than using a cheap, unregulated EGo battery?

    has anyone tried a "phase-in" nicotine approach to transitioning?

    Has anyone ever started with a low nicotine e-liquid, like 6mg, and worked up until they quit smoking? I'm just wondering if that might be the approach for me, especially as I have issues with being nic-sick. I never get sick from cigarettes but I have experienced that with NRT. When I...

    why are so many mods ugly?

    Who thinks up this stuff? Like the Innokin 134 or the Cool Fire? It looks like something only a pimply faced, straight male teenager or college student could use. On the other hand, I like the appearance of the Johnson Creek Vea. Is it so hard to make a tasteful e-cig?

    I don't think the EGo is a good beginner setup.

    I think skipping Ego's altogether is probably the right thing to recommend, and so-called "cig-a-likes" are vastly underrated. I'm thinking about selling off my EGo batteries and only using a smaller one for dripping to test my DIY's with, just because the EGo battery + clearomizer is such a...

    overrated premium e-juices

    I've been trying a few from local B&M's. Mostly tobacco flavors. Some of the tobaccos are overrated. I got this one called "Havana Tobacco", it's supposed to be a cigar, but it tastes more like a Swisher Sweet. Not surprisingly it's a 50/50 PG/VG mix, and I think that is the culprit. It...

    should I be stepping down from 12mg if I'm experimenting with WTA?

    I still haven't quit analogs but I have greatly reduced my consumption, especially by using small pinches of snuff occasionally (Skoal, sometimes a blast of nasal snuff too). I smoke light cigarettes, about 12-15 a day. With all the changes I've been doing though, the cigarettes are cut in...

    for those who get chest tightness with 100 percent VG...

    ... does adding water to the VG help? I can't vape 100 percent VG. Too thick, my lungs feel heavy particular if I run at all (rarely happens, but I occasionally). I'm wondering if water doesn't cure this problem, beyond the usual 5% most everybody uses. Like maybe 15-25 percent water...

    vaping around 5 watts?

    I'm curious why a lot of variable voltage mods and batteries don't go down to 5 watts? I know there's always the variable voltage settings to play with, but I'm wondering... nobody else vapes at 5 watts? 5 watts is around the power level of a lot of KR808 cig-a-likes. It just seems like a...

    eGo gave up the ghost... what's better regulated or unregulated?

    My first e-cig gave up the ghost after a few months, a cheap 650 off ebay. I'm debating if I replace it or not. I have 900mah Ego that's unregulated. I don't have enough experience to know what, if anything to get. My other ecigs are KR808, regulated at 3.6v. So, which is better...
