    From whom to buy?

    Hi everybody! Good to see you are here. Eight years ago as a beginner vaper I was really delighted to find this forum, but now I am not a frequent guest here... OK, no about business. I have not bought anything vape related for a few years, so I am a bit rusty. I am running out of my mods and...

    Is ECF dying?

    I still remember better times, when I would open a "General Discussion" forum and see only today's posts. Yesterday's posts I could find only at the bottom of the second page. What I see now? Only ten (10!) threads are recent. And at the end of the first (FIRST!) page I see 3 threads that are...

    New mod and tank for 10 W vaper

    Hi everybody, I have lost track of new vaping gear and need an advice. Finally one of my mods died. The newest one, Joyetech eVic Primo. Bad from the beginning (because of its faulty protection) it just stopped working. Another mod should die soon. It is a clone of iStick 30, 4+ years old. It's...

    Nic salts - where to buy?

    My nic salts sample from Nude Nicotine was finished a few weeks ago (15 ml = 2 months for mee), so I am back on regular nic. It's definitely rougher on my throat and taste buds. I want to buy salts but I need an advice - from whom to buy? NN nicotine sample was too dark from the beginning, so I...

    OBS Engine Nano - big disappointment

    I bought it because it supposedly is leak-proof. Not at all. It's leaking catastrophically when it is left for a few hours on its side. I think it's because of it's filling system - through side hole not properly secured by O-rings. Any ideas how it can be prevented?

    EDIT: Nude Nicotine does not sucks

    Catching a trend (while reading DIY forum) I decided to test nicotine salts, so I ordered free ($2.75) sample from Nude Nicotine. What a disappointment... It's yellow! I am even reluctant to taste it. I always sought NN is a reliable supplier. Looks like not anymore. Or it's me? May be I am...

    After 14 months of abstinence I need an advice

    So, for fourteen months I was buying nothing vape-related, not even cotton. Now my oldest mod in rotation (iStick 30 clone) is showing signs of aging, and I decided buy something... But it looks like there are not much new for MTLungers or restricted DLungers. I use now Kayfun 4 (a bit tight for...

    Honey for journalists

    You can attract ants with honey. You can attract journalists to your obscure conference with press release about study thrashing e-cigarettes: http://www.*the-aps.org/mm/hp/Audiences/Public-Press/2017/44.html (link broken, remove *) It's difficult to discuss this study, it's just an abstract...

    LG vs Efest

    About 8 months ago I bought this one: LG Brown HG2 INR18650 3000mah 18650 Battery I wanted to double check if I would like to switch to subohming. OK, I found out (again) I would not like it. But I got stuck wiht this LG battery. Awful thing, I should say. It is deteriorating rapidly. Just 8...

    Easter Reconciliation

    OK, guys and gals. It's an Easter. It's time of reconciliation. I believe I would not again look down to somebody building his/hers dumb subohom builds. (but who knows but me...) I hope I'll be understanding one and not commenting one on a nice habit of inhalation of rather odd substances. I...

    Greedy juicemaker turning on vapers

    As I learned today from DIY forum there is such juice vendor: Aspen Valley Vapes. The greedy one. You can read what they posted on their site and comments of vapers: 5 Reasons Why Making Your Own DIY E-Juice Might Not Be a Good Idea They are turning against DIY vapers, they are lying, they give...

    Scotch/Bourbon/Rum

    OK, I have (must?) to report it. Now I usually vape 50/50 PG/VG with a bit of flavoring. Lately I tried some substitutions for PG, such as 8% of rum, bourbon and scotch. In terms of wicking 8% of alcohol drinks work as good as 50/50 VG/PG. All of my recipes had interesting (and satisfying)...

    Aterchristmas blues

    OK. I had my piece of duck with buckwheat/onions/prunes stuffing. With bourbon. A nice chunk of stilton with beaujolais nouveau. My son came to celebrate with us. My wife was rather accommodating and not arguing about my drinking habits too much. And I have even saved 8 ml of Turkey 101 for my...

    Vacuum?

    Again in one of the threads I found “vacuum” in a tank mentioned. But what vacuum? Where in a tank? (and strictly speaking we should not mention word “vacuum” at all, since it refer to significant pressure drop) OK, juice is delivered to a coil by capillary action (you can see how it works here...

    Of vaping – and sugar – and why emotions are boiling hot.

    Recently (in some threads) circular and even emotional discussions started whether vaping is a harm reduction or completely harmless thing. So, I’ll try to explain my point of view. There is nothing completely harmless in our lives. Cars, food, and even children… And life itself is the...

    About nicotine absorption with apologies

    Yesterday in another thread I blatantly dismissed possibility of significant absorption of nic in a mouth. But I became curious and made some research – “theoretical” and “experimental”. I found out I owe an apologies to my opponents @Baditude, @pwheeler, @retired1, @JCinFLA and @afishhunter...

    AOL on vaping. Study: Vaping has helped millions of people quit smoking

    Study: Vaping has helped millions of people quit smoking Ask someone who vapes if they're worried that it might be unsafe, and they'll often give you the same answer: Hey, at least it's better than smoking. A study published in the journal Addiction looked at e-cigarette usage among over...

    How TC works? (physics, common sense, etc.)

    Here is my taking on TC theory. Not that I am sure I am right, but hope in can serve as a starting point for application of collective wisdom. Even worse: I am a TC novice... But anyway... 1. When everything is tuned right, difference between TC and VW is minimal - TC can ramp temperature up...

    FDA and longevity of 510 connecter for both mech and regulated mods

    Now we are buying mods because we are afraid that FDA will make our life tougher in a near future. We want mods that will serve for a long time. One of the weaker links for all mods (mech and regulated) is 510 connector. So my question: which 510 connector will serve longer? It looks like I have...
