    Now my stepping down plan has been screwed up!

    Actually, this isn't anything that is recent, but was in direct result of the changes MBV made due to the FDA's BS. I started out with 24 mg probably 3 years ago..kicked the cigs after like almost 20 years, easy. Went down to 18, then 12, 6, now I am at 3 and again it has been easy. I have a...

    New mod just destroying my coils

    Not sure why this is happening. A few years back, I found what I liked in terms of tank/coil and stuck with it out of simplicity and convenience. It is a Kanger Subtank Nano with 1.2Ohm coils. I have used this tank and the OCC vertical coils with a Nemesis Mech Mod Clone, a Subox, and an Innoken...

    I don't get how some can vape at such high wattages..help me out here.

    Alright, it may sound a bit stupid and may not even be important to me, but I have been wondering for quite some time now. I have been vaping (and also cigarette-free bc of it) for about 4 years now. Usual progression..ciga-like (sucked), Evod, some kind of Sigelei box mod, then moved on to a...

    Guess I gotta move on from the Innokin Disrupter...suggestions on anything similar?

    Been vaping since I quit smoking nearly 3 years ago. The first couple of years were spent sort of swimming my way through all the various options both in hardware as well as juice. Long story short, I guess compared to so many others, I am a simple guy. I have been using the same kit, including...

    What the heck happened with the newest Kanger OCC - is it just me?

    Alright, been vaping for more than 2 years now and went through the usual progression, ciga-likes, pen, then mech mods and when i got tired of those, I switched to an Innoken Disrupter which is sort of what I settled into and have been using for about a year now. I love it. Works very well. My...

    Evod Glass, less than a week of moderate use...burnt taste?

    So I have been using regula Kanger Evods mostly and can go for a long time on an atty without much issue with bad taste. It does eventually get to where it produces less vapor, but the taste is usually OK. I primarily use 80/20 or 50/50 mixtures. So I recently decided it was time to do some...

    Oily film...worrisome for anyone?

    So I am a new vaper (2 weeks and 1 day as of now) and happened to sit in front of my laptop this morning and it was off. It has a glossy LCD screen and the sunlight was hitting it and I realized that the entire thing was covered in an oily film. Couldn't figure it out initially because this had...

    Demographics of Vaping

    Let me first start by saying that I beg of everyone not to turn this into any sort of hate thing in the slightest. I merely made an observation and realize that I am not in all areas of the country so they layout is probably different. Mods...if it gets out of hand...feel free to do what you...

    Vaping and the Police

    So I realize that as of right now E-Cigarettes are not banned outright in the US (though unfortunately there are uneducated jerks who are doing whatever it takes to have that happen). Anyway, when I first started vaping, I was in the car and my teenage son looked at me and said "Dad, it looks...

    Week 2 of Vaping - Now want to test out some other setups, specifically checking out cartomizers

    I have been TRYING to get work done, but keep getting drawn back here with questions :) It's all good though. So I have been vaping for about a week now and I of course absolutely love it. I started out with a dual Kanger EVOD starter kit and a couple of different juices with different setups. I...

    More doctor's....more education...

    So, I have been reading a lot on the e-cig controversy over the past few months and the amount of ignorance and mis-information is saddening. I am new to the whole scene so to speak so this may have been said already; however, this war is only going to be won on 2 fronts - numbers, of course...

    Getting ready to buy first kit, how much liquid will keep me off analogs?

    Well, I realize that is a loaded question of sorts, but let me explain. I recently got laid off and am on a tight budget so I cannot load up on juice to know I am good for awhile. We have a local brick and mortar that I plan on getting my PV from and some liquid to start but then will probably...

    I think I might have started with too high of level of nic?

    As I am posting in the new members forum, I am obviously new to the forum. Not only that, I am new to vapping. In fact, today was the first day. I have talked for awhile with a guy at work who is really into some crazy mods and me being the techie that I am think I will eventually get to that...
