    Attomizers burning out quickly??

    I just did a bunch of research looking for a high quality, relatively simple, and universal ecig for my sister. I finally settled on a genuine Joyetech eGo-T with a bigger battery (1000 mAh), because she is lazy and not very technically savvy. I did notice that at least 3 sites said...

    Replacement for nichrome coil...

    I hope I'm not too late. A lot of people have brought up cartridge heaters from places like Sun Rod in the past. I did A LOT of independent research and calculations on them and came to the conclusion that they will not work for the following reasons: MASS A bare Ni-Chrome coil is the bare...

    e-cigarette-forum.com != e-cigaretteforum.com

    Lamest case of search hit stealing ever. I was house sitting for my dad and decided to check up on the latest e-cig news and so I typed in e-cigaretteforum.com. It looked different, but it's been a week so maybe the style got changed. At the bottom I noticed it was now an SMF forum instead of...

    Battery Research (9-Volt Batteries)

    I didn't think Warp was being mean. I have a lot of intelligence but not much experience (at least with joule heating). I've come to learn that a few ounces of experience can trump a whole head full of smart and warp has a lot of experience. I just hate non-standard equipment. It brings to mind...

    Battery Research (9-Volt Batteries)

    As far as I understand it, it is the current that affects joule heating, so there is no need to bother with the voltage. A simple 4-5 ohm resisitor would lower 9 volts to the .75 - 1.5 amps needed for current attys. I did a forum search and found almost nothing on modding for 9-Volt batteries...

    Battery Research (9-Volt Batteries)

    I've seen a lot of people here talk about having to plan their lives around how many charged batteries they have. Even the modders here use 18650's and 14500's instead standardized sizes and chemistries. I kept thinking that it would be great if one could just buy regular batteries at the store...

    Looking for a popcorn recipe

    I would be careful. Diacetyl is the only known vaping additive that can damage your health. It's one of two ingredients in margarine (along with acetoin) that have a strong buttery flavour/smell. I sure hope this isn't the butter flavour you already have. Diacetyl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    California Senate Bill 400 Amended (September 2) to Prohibit the Sale of E-Cigs

    Dont forget zero toys, and model trains that make smoke. ;) If you get desperate enough you can drip into a crack pipe, which is still perfectly legal to buy here in California. :P Products: Zero Toys Online Store Search Model Trains Locomotives for smoke/ I'm leaning towards modifying a...

    Atty Manufacturers

    Am I missing something here? Or buying from the wrong vendors? Attys are tiny and worthless and yet always seem to cost about 10$ (USD). They are not like batteries with switches, circuitry, and expensive exotic materials (Li-Poly), and yet, cost about the same. Two cents of 20mm x 38 nichrome...

    Enantopure Propylene Glycol ?

    The direct link seems to work fine, thanks. That's a very good article. Definitely in my top ten of articles I've seen so far. It summarizes at least 50% of all the (decent) articles I've found so far about Propylene Glycol directly (as opposed to articles that focus more on D/L-Lactate). Just...

    Enantopure Propylene Glycol ?

    Mister: Can't see that article because it requires a subscription fee. I might have seen it somewhere else, a lot of sites charge money to see what is free just 3 clicks over. Thanks anyway. --- 1. I've done a HUGE amount of research and it's hard to get any concrete facts, most places don't...

    POLL: Electronic Users Organization - New Name

    They all seem so boring, how about: Vapers Against Governmen Intrusion Now Association? ;) Seriously they really are boring. CAT and OAT seem decent, but the rest are kind of unmemorable, both the words and the acronyms.

    What tha hell are those things ?

    I see a voltage regulator, a mini buck coil, and probably a chopper to go with the coil. All these things are to get the voltage above the band gap of the white LED, while making sure that no power is wasted with overvolting. These are propably the opposite of what you want to achieve with a...

    Enantopure Propylene Glycol ?

    TOP: L-Propylene Glycol / L-Lactic Acid BOTTOM: D-Propylene Glycol / D-Lactic Acid RIGHT: Pyruvic Acid It bothers me a lot that so many laymen can't perceive stereoisomers as distinctly different substances (especially in biologic systems). I've been doing some research and it seems that...

    New York Suffolk County Bans E-Cig Public Use

    As a person who has been fighting against the Phoney War on Drugs since before I had hair on my schmekle, I find this (almost) amusing. Let me give you some tips from 'Dark Side'. How does the law define e-cigarettes? If it is too strict, then anything can be considered a vaporizer like breath...
