    Best "No-Leak" Pod system

    I have been vaping for years now, and have all sorts of paraphernalia from an Itaste to 200W box mods, kanger minis to Aegis Aero Tanks, and all kinds of stuff in between. Now I have always struggled with getting the "right" nicotine delivery that mimicked that of a cig, that is until they came...

    OK, not a true DIY question, but need help.

    Over a year ago, I used vaping to get off of smoking and stayed off of cigarrettes for 8 months, then I stupidly convinced myself when I was out drinking, that I could just smoke 1. Long story short, 6 months later and I'm still dual using. I think I identified my problem with quitting this...

    Kanger Conundrum

    Recently, I must have badly disassembled my Kanger Sub Tank. I lost the ball bearing in the airflow ring assembly, so I bought a new one, enameled in black. Now I also bought a bunch of the new ssocc coil heads. So, I put it all together, load it up with juice and stupidly forget to wait for...

    WTH happened to my Kanger SubTank?

    The last few times I went to refill my KST, I noticed when I was going to unscrew it from my IPVD3, that it seemed loose, even though I was sure I snugged it up. Additionally, I noticed a small amount of leakage, pretty much confined to the area around the connector, but not down IN the...

    Am I missing out by avoiding Temperature Control? t

    First of all, spare me the "to each his own" vaping philosophy comments. I GET that, I really do, but it's become cliche and obvious. No, what I really want to know is it worth messing with. Does it provide something that is worth the learning curve, and the obtaining a new mod and wire? I...

    Anyone know what happened to AndriaD?

    Anyone know what happened to AndriaD? ... and why it says ECF Guru no more by her avatar? I miss her.

    Battery Life : Use in Mechs vs Usi in VW, Is There a Difference?

    I was wondering if anyone knew if there was any effect on battery life (in this case I mean how long a battery is useful and able to be recharged, NOT the length of an individual charge) from using a battery in a Mech Mod, versus using a battery in a variable Voltage or Variable Wattage Mod...

    Kanger SubTank Mini Weirdness

    DISCLAIMER: Please don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, I love the KSTM, I just thought this was kinda weird. OK, so the SubTank Mini, ... it has both a glass tank with metal inside the glass, unlike the Atlantis which is all glass. Why is the metal on the inside? Wouldn't it be more break...

    Kung Fu Panda 7 : Where Vaping Fails me

    Don't get me wrong, I love vaping. I love that I was able to quit smoking with vaping. I love having all sorts of delicious flavors to cycle thru. I love saving some money. But where vaping fails me in replacing cigarettes for me is ... appetite supression. Cigarettes worked very...

    Nicotine Absorbtion: A Vape vs Smoke Question

    I've read a lot about nicotine absorbtion and e-cigs and the comparison to burning tobacco cigarettes, and they all seem to have 1 thing in common: more nicotine is typically absorbed from smoke than vapor. Now, in all the time I was smoking, I never smoked so much that I felt like I was...

    My First Misadventure in Vaping

    Now, I've been vaping for 5 months, and having a strong science and math background, I've also read an extensive amount about all kinds of various areas of vaping related knowledge, from battery safety, to diacetyl studies. So, my misadventure in vaping is entirely user error, specifically user...

    Vaping a Chimera

    Ever make the mistake of dripping the wrong fluid in the wrong RDA? EDIT CLARIFICATION:Basically I drip different e-liquids in different RDAs and a few times I have dripped the wrong fluid in an RDA that I was using for a different fluid often resulting in strange and horrible flavors...

    A Question for "Brand Loyal" Ex-Smokers in Regards to Vaping

    Now when I was a smoker, I was emphatically a one brand man. I smoked Winstons, and really couldn't stand the taste of any other brand of cigarettes, and in fact, couldn't even stand the flavor difference in the 100's compared to my Kings. Marlboros left a cat litterbox aftertaste, and most...

    The "GUNK" Paradigm. Or ... What are you people talking about?

    I'm a bit perplexed. Now while I haven't been vaping a long time ~3&1/2 months, I have in that time gone from primarily a Kanger PT3 mini on a Spinner 2 to a Mutation X on an IPV3 and a Stllare on a Manhattan Mech, and I've read so so much (i'm a voracious reader at over 350 wpm) here and...

    A Complexity Dilemma

    Last night, a lady who frequents the bar that I go to to karaoke, approached me to ask about "the whole e-cigarette" thing. I have known her for a couple of years, and she was quite aware of me being a former smoker and current vapor. So, she wanted to go today to the local B&M, and get an...

    Not The Best Builder, What Did I Do Wrong?

    OK, sorry I can't figure out the picture thing to show you, but ... My Mutation X Atty. Had a 0.7 dual horizontal coil in it and it hit like a truck. Got the "brilliant" idea to rebuild it using a diagonal coil in line with the airhole matrix. Placed the negative wire tail in the post hole...

    Unexpected, or not oft discussed benefits of vaping over smoking.

    I will go first. 1.) Vaping in Bed. Back when I was smoking, I used to sometimes, either due to reading or insomnia, would want a cigarrette after I had settled into bed. I could either get out of bed, or ignore it, 'cause I'm not an idiot, so no smoking in bed. (In fact, no smoking in the...

    The Philosophy of Coils

    Now I have read many things (posts, articles and videos{those these were not "read"}) about coil making with different gauges, ohm levels, series, parallel, etc. etc. but few things on a big picture of all. I know a lot of people love the current "art" aspect of making coils, and cuddle in the...

    How Can Anyone Stand Copper Mech Mods?

    Yes, I am fully aware of the conductivity of various metals and where copper sits in that comparison, (that's why I bought the Stingray X)and a fully understand the beauty of finely polished copper, but how can anyone stand to use anything that turns their hand green in 5 minutes and makes it...

    Anyone Else Suffer From Post Vaping Nasal Drip?

    Is it just me, or are any other Vapers out there suffering from Post Vaping Nasal Drip? It doesn't happen to me often, and only after vaping on the RDA (tanks don't do it) pretty heavy, and doing a lot of nasal exhaling. But some times I get this microdroplet edging the rim of each nostril...
