    symptoms of vapping

    This thread seems counterintuitive to me. I was a pack-a-day smoker for years and started out with 18mg juice. I still have most of those first bottles of 18mg sitting in my juice box. I couldn't vape them then without getting a ridiculous headache and dang sure couldn't vape them now that...

    Contest! Make us laugh and win custom e-liquid!

    Thanks again HHV for the contest and prize! The bottle came neatly packed in the mail yesterday and tastes pretty good right out of the bottle. Giving it a little time to steep & can't wait to try it again. :toast:

    Whats the benefit of building your own coils?

    Convenience is the biggest pro for me. Sure, it can be convenient to pop a pre-made coil out of a blister pack and toss it in your tank, but I remember back when I used to buy my coils that I would occasionally get a dud, or one that wasn't built the same as the last, didn't last as long, and...

    Just Happened- Teen Loses Teeth To Exploding ECig

    Click-bait journalism at its very best, right there. Some models of cars have been known to explode... especially when drunk, inexperienced, or just plain negligent drivers careen off the road and plow into an immovable object. According to their logic, shouldn't the cars be to blame? :confused:

    Diacetyl Concerns

    There are others on this board who are much more savvy than I am when it comes to scientific studies put out either for or against vaping and who can tear them down, bit by bit, exposing the rhetoric or the truths clearly. Many of them have done so in various threads across the forum, so I'm...

    RTA that behaves like an RDA?

    It's almost like the Bellus, Lemo 2, and Velocity RDA all got together and had an ugly kid! I have to admit, even though I'm not very fond of the styling, I'd be willing to give it a shot for the features.

    battery question

    Ah, my mistake if that's the case. I've used the green 25R's before, but never even knew about blue ones. Still, I personally wouldn't recommend buying batteries off of eBay.

    battery question

    I've mostly been using LG HG2's, though I've still got some Panasonic 3400 mAh cells that I've had for a little while. I have married sets that I use in my RX200 but also have a Sigelei 75 TC that I've run singles of both types of battery type through. The battery you use should really be...

    battery question

    Those eBay batteries, if they are actually the ones in the picture (or similar), look to be rewrapped cells. Genuine Samsung 25R batteries should be green, I believe. I personally wouldn't buy any batteries off of eBay or even Amazon at this point. There's simply way too many knock-off...

    RTA that behaves like an RDA?

    LOL, yep, I was just mentioning the Uwell Crown in another thread and am getting decks mixed up now. Thanks for the catch, I'll edit that post!

    RTA that behaves like an RDA?

    Sounds like the Griffin would probably suit you well! But at least give some consideration to the Bellus, because it's pretty close. I don't think you'll find one with hex screws, but the Phillips screws really aren't bad since you'd probably be running your wire through the post holes as...

    RTA that behaves like an RDA?

    Mine never leaks now. Like, ever! Once you get the wicking down pat, dry hits and leaking become a thing of the past. I don't even close off the AFC when refilling now and never so much as condensation on the drilled out holes covering the AFC. The deck is limited, however, but I don't think...

    RTA that behaves like an RDA?

    The OP said he/she really isn't interested in standard Phillips screws on the deck, which the Bellus has, though I am also a big Bellus fan now. It would provide pretty much everything else written in the list of wants. With a lower ohm dual coil build, I'd almost rate it on par with a RDA in...

    Recommendations please

    I don't have much experience with mods at or under 75W except for the Sigelei 75TC, though I'd have no problem personally recommending that one. I've always been impressed with Sigelei products. Battery life is *meh* when running sub-ohm tanks, but carrying around an extra battery or two isn't...

    Pre made SS Clapton wire

    My 32/24 roll of MKWS Clapton wire from FT just came in the mail today. 15' spool of the stuff . I haven't built anything with it yet because none of my tanks need a new coil at the moment, but a cursory look at it and I can tell that the wire itself is solidly wound and seems as clean as...

    Cereal Liquids

    I know you said you're not keen on the fruity cereals, but neither am I... and I found myself pretty impressed with Dr. Crimmy's "COPYRIGHTDMCA" when I first tried it. Liked it so much I ordered the 125 ml bottle and fell in love; killed it off in just a couple of weeks. Went on to order the 500 ml...

    A little over 2 years since my last cancer stick...

    Yeah, it can be tough to resist the onslaught of shinies, especially with everyone and their mother coming up with something newer and shinier with each passing day, it seems like. But, hey, two years off of the nasties deserves a reward... congratulations! :thumbs:

    RDA My rda gets extremely hot!

    I can tell! I can fog up a room with the right single coil, even more with a standard dual-coil setup. Bump up the wattage and dual-Claptons can be competition-worthy. I would take a step back and reevaluate what you're doing, because the coils in that picture really are all over the place...

    RDA My rda gets extremely hot!

    Running what looks like a quad-Clapton build and don't like the heat? Simple solution: Don't run quad-Claptons! ;) Not trying to take any wind out of your sails, but a build like that is bound to generate a lot of heat. Consider backing off to dual-Clapton coils. Even that is going to get...
