    RDA First RDA, epic fail :/

    I've been away from ECF for awhile... life's been crazy. The last real mod I had was a Darwin, before I picked up an MVP, then a whole lotta generic ego's and CE5's... fit the bill for the time. After watching a Grimmgreen vid on the ipv v2, I picked one up along with a couple of TOBH clones...

    Anything important from the last 6 months or so? :P

    Hey guys, haven't been on the forum for around a half a year... haven't kept up to date on anything in the vaping world honestly. Just got my Darwin back from repairs and the new blue LCD is friggin' epic. Other than that, I'm clueless on any recent developments. Anything of importance happen...

    More of my favorite flavor arrived today :D

    I'm so excited! Got more Green Apple from PA in today. I had been looking to recreate Green Apple from VaporBomb, and PA had 5 different Apple flavors, so my last order was small amounts of each of them. After finding out with apple it was I ordered a big bottle of it, but I've been without my...

    Post your Steam ID's here!

    I saw a thread about PC gamers, and saw someone posted their Steam ID there. I thought we might start a dedicated Steam ID sharing thread. :D Mine is (surprisingly) Bootsand. Feel free to add me! I can be found on a ton of games, but currently playing mostly BF3.

    Will this battery work in a Lava Tube?

    I'm shopping for a mod for my sister... I personally transitioned from a Riva to a Darwin, so I'm completely new to the replaceable battery mods. Found the mod I want and now looking for a couple good 18650 batts for the Lavatube and came across this: AW 18650 Protected 3100 mAh Rechargeable...

    After 15 months of being out of work, I think I'm finally getting hired.

    I had been getting pretty depressed after not finding any work for so long. After I lost my last job, I agreed to move with my girlfriend back to her home town (more of a village) in the middle of ohio. Work is scarily difficult to find, and what work there is seems to be primarily factory...

    DIY supplies - Not just for vaping!

    My girl came home midday from work with a terrible headache and feeling sick... she lay down on the couch, we dimmed the room, and got her settled. She had used vics before and wanted some, but we had none in the house, and the store is a good drive away. Enter the vaping gear. Mixed 5ml of...

    Bad encounter with e-cig booth at an expo

    I went to the Cleveland Home and Garden Expo today... pretty large event, lots of interesting things to see. When I saw a booth called "OMG Smoke Free" that looked identical to the mall kiosks I've seen in the past (Smoke Anywhere) I figured it would be nice to stop by and have a quick vape. I...

    Nic absorption through skin?

    I was reading a post about e-cigs banned on airlines (I understand why) but as I do fly from time to time, and HATE patches and gum, I was wondering how effective unflavored nic juice would be with a few drops on the skin. I DIY all my juice, and frequently get some of 60mg strength on my...

    How does VapeMate perform with 100% VG?

    Looking to pick up a VapeMate and was wondering if anyone who had one uses it with all VG, and how it does with it. I only use VG and don't cut it with distilled water or PGA (apparently, Everclear cannot be sold in Ohio... shame.)

    Forty 510 Atties for $63.94 shipped

    Just received my order from an Ali Express vendor, Kingwise China Co Ltd. I was worried about customs, but it came through smoothly. Ordered on 1/18/10, arrived today 1/31/10 (13 days) with the free Hong Kong Post option. As for performance, I believe they say on the site that they are LR...

    Multimeter help

    I've never used a multimeter before, and I'm trying to test an atty for resistance for the first time. I think I might have gotten a DOA multimeter, but I'm not sure... having never used one before. This is the multimeter I got: Amazon.com: Equus 3320 Auto-Ranging Digital Multimeter...

    What kind of atties for a 5V device?

    I've been using a Riva for a while now with LR 510's and 306's, and am looking to move on up in the world. I've been looking for a good VV mod, but I'll wait to get one of those until the Eclipse or VVPV are released. In the meantime, I'm considering the GLV-2, as people say 5V vaping is...

    *sigh* I'm so impatient sometimes.

    I'm looking to get my first 'big' mod after using a Riva for quite some time... every one that I want is either back ordered like crazy (Ali'i VV... I don't even know when the next order timeframe is) or soon to be released, eta unknown (VVPV and GLV-2 Super Mini)... I know there are many great...

    Found a GREAT juice/parts/flavor carrying case

    I've been hunting for a while to get a decent case to hold all my juices and goodies, as I DIY and things can get a little out of hand sometimes. After looking through assorted tackle boxes at wally world, my girlfriend took me over to the cosmetics and I found exactly what I was looking for...

    Cisco LR 306 vs LR 510 (I wish I had known they use the same connector earlier!)

    I've just received my first Cisco LR 306 attys in the mail today, having just learned of their very existence mere days ago. I've used in the past many brands of 510 atomizers, LR and regular, and given the similar look (internally) and same threading/battery on the 306 I was not expecting too...

    Alibaba suppliers? (Riva's for 20 bucks?)

    I just stumbled across a global trade site that has independent suppliers that seem to sell all kinds of things in bulk. The Riva was one of those things... I was under the impression that Eastmall was the only producer of these, and I'm assuming they're knock offs, but thought I'd ask for a...

    Best Peppermint Ever.

    I truly hope this is the right forum to post this in, as it's a DIY flavor and not a premade juice, but I've been vaping Peppermint from Flavor's Apprentice (AKA Perfumer's Apprentice) for nearly two months now, and I just cannot stop and go back to any other flavor now. I'm just bursting at the...

    My Freedom Smokes - Best place for unflavored nic juice (DIY)

    Just got a newsletter from Chris at My Freedom Smokes with a great sale on unflavored nic juice, and I figured it would be a good time to post a mini-review. I've only ordered once there before prior to today (just placed another order) but it was a pretty flawless transaction. The packaging...

    Thanks for the recommendations :)

    I'm just about to get my feet wet with DIY mixing... after reading up on some grand wisdom in this sum-forum, I have 17 flavors coming from perfumer's apprentice, some sweetener, menthol crystals, 16oz pure VG for dilution and some bottles... and found an awesome deal on some high nic VG at...
