    Returning vaper looking for better MTL experience

    I started vaping about 20 years ago and have been a MTL vaper since I quit the smokes. I liked the Kayfun MTL atties and still the Kayfun is my go-to vape. Being able to sneak a hit or two in public is a plus. I've accumulated quite a few atties of all kinds, mostly because of the...

    Are you done stocking up?

    I have a good number of lithium cells (about 20 or so) that I rotate. I generally charge them to full charge and use them in rotation. I've only had a couple over the years that lost capacity to the point where I wrapped them and trashed them. Those were older cells that had been in use for a...

    Are you done stocking up?

    I'm 71 and still do several 30 minute stationary bike rides a week at a resistance level 8 of 10. I don't get winded and I feel fine for my age. I still would like to roll back to 30 and stay there, of course. :)

    Are you done stocking up?

    Anecdotal, but back when I was smoking my doctor sent me for a routine X-ray as part of my physical. After the X-ray was developed I saw the image. There was a haze on one part of the X-ray. I asked the tech what caused it and she asked me if I smoked. She told me that was the reason for the...

    Are you done stocking up?

    When will we run out of lithium? But here’s where things start to get dicey: The approximate amount of lithium on earth is between 30 and 90 million tons. That means we’ll will run out eventually, but we’re not sure when. PV Magazine states it could be as soon as 2040, assuming electric cars...

    Are you done stocking up?

    Made me remember the tire driven generator on the English bike I rode as a kid. You could ride at night as long as you didn't stop pedaling! The light would surge and pulse with the action of your legs. It was bright on a downhill run!

    newbie question on VG and PG

    I've made and vaped 70PG since I started to vape and mix juice. Higher PG for me seems to enhance flavor over a high VG mix. I've never been a cloud chaser, I'm looking for a little more throat hit with more flavor.

    newbie question on VG and PG

    70 PG lets me vape in stores without getting nasty stares. You just have to find an empty aisle here and there.:smokie:

    Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

    I had backups at home and enough atomizers and a 100ml bottle of juice in my luggage. What I lost in the little snap top box I left behind was coil wire, tools, and other support items. Still, when you are away from home you hate to lose anything that makes you have to improvise.

    Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

    My wife and I took a 10 day cruise on a Mississippi Riverboat from New Orleans to Memphis a month ago. Great trip up the Mississippi River to Memphis. We stayed over a couple of days after the Riverboat cruise was over and spent a couple of days around Memphis before flying home. We toured...

    Is Alien Visions Closing Or Something?

    Diy is a good way to produce juice in your home. You save money and get to tailor the mix to your own liking. There are ecig juice mix forums all over the internet. After mixing up every juice recipe I thought that I would like, I ended up vaping mostly unflavored juice. You can always add...

    Most times just unflavored, but some times..

    Same here. For years after starting to vape I bought flavor after flavor to mix up and try. A couple of years in I had tried most every flavor I thought might be good. I always had some unflavored juice around that I used for testing with new flavors. As time passed I started vaping...

    It's working, only had 1 cigarette today.

    Your experience is similar to mine. I started to vape at 24mg strength and in less than a month, I stopped my two PAD Marlboro habit and never looked back. That was back in 2010 and I haven't wanted a smoke since. I quit at 24mg strength and I've been at 3mg nic strength for about 12 years.

    Are you done stocking up?

    I caught a vendor selling out clone Pico 75's for a song several years ago and I bought about 12 (i think). They filled up a shoebox in the closet. I've used 4 of them, some for different flavors, some for unflavored juice, and all were fine. I probably need to search for deals on Kayfun Picos...

    Changed to another coil that was rated for higher wattage and it got burnt. Nooo.

    It's a little hard to tell when a new factory coil is completely saturated. I wind my own coils these days, but when I used factory coils I would pour about a half inch of juice into a shot glass and put the atomizer into the glass (tank up) and let the atomizer bottom soak up the juice for...

    iStick Pico errors

    I still have a number of Istick Picos in shrink wrapped boxes from years ago (private stash). I caught a vendor going out of business and purchased a dozen. Like they say, the time to buy it is when you see it. BTW, Eleaf iStick Pico 75W TC Mod $21.90 | Kit $33.99 has the Pico mod only for...

    It's working, only had 1 cigarette today.

    Back in 2010 I started vaping, not really expecting to quit, but maybe cut down on tobacco cigarettes. During the first week or two I realized that vaping 24mg juice was satisfying my nic needs. I finished my last pack of cigarettes and never bought another. Over the first year vaping I...

    Vaping Health Long-Term

    Vaped since early 2010. Smoked for decades before discovering vaping. I check my pulse and Oxygen levels periodically while riding my exercise bike and typically get 55-60 pulse range under load toward the end of my ride with 99% Oxygen saturation. When I smoked I huffed and puffed doing the...
