    Resistor and LED Question

    Here's some good info on LED's that helped me. Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) Might help if you draw your circuit and post. 10ohms sounds way too low to protect the LED. Start with 1k and go from there. Edit: link says flashing LED's don't need a series resistor.

    Help with my 18650 battery

    You need to use another charger as DM said. Your charger output, 3.6V@320mA, is too low to fully charge the 18650. The light is going green because the battery is reaching that output voltage. I'm using a Trustfire charger that outputs 4.2V@500mA. Good luck.

    EverCool Variable Voltage Mod

    Thanks erk and emus. Haven't got a schematic yet. I was chatting with my workmate about it after reading some of the other threads and he said that would be a good way to go about it. Will post if there's an update.

    My Pipe MOD - The Tough Brass Jr.-TS (Trigger Switched)

    15mm Brass pipe and fittings hold 14500 batteries. I made this from parts I found at Bunnings (local hardware store) on Friday. Weighs 180g vs 150g for the Provari. All up around $15 in parts. Not bad.

    Silver Vein

    My bad. I think I got confused with the silver finish in the vids. Thanks for setting me straight. I'll go hide now. Whoops. Edit: In my own dumbass defence there's no silver vein pic on the alpha part of the site. I thought it was the silver one.

    Silver Vein

    I ordered a Silver Vein but ended up receiving a black one with a sandblasted finish. Was going to send it back but figure I'll keep it as they don't appear to be selling them.

    Did the Australian Government actually look into vaping?

    Rather than banning e-cig hardware, nicotine is classified as a poison. Victoria was the last state to amend their legislation to make it illegal to supply nicotine as a retailer (as recommended in the report). There were various submissions (presumably from Big Pharma and/or the tobacco...

    Erring on the side of wimp

    Best of luck with breaking free from analogues. As with almost everything, there is a balance. I find myself switching between 18mg and 9mg depending on the time of day. Managed to stave off the cravings for an analogue for 3 weeks now. It's a good feeling. Love the support and understanding of...

    DIY Liquid questions..

    To get to 12mg from 36mg mix 1 part nic juice to 2 parts VG/PG/Flavour eg. 5ml nic juice + 8ml VG/PG + 2ml flavour = 15ml of 12mg juice The amounts of flavour and PG/VG will vary depending on your taste. Just make sure you add twice as much liquid to the 36mg and you will get 12mg. VG is pretty...

    Isn't it ironic?

    Perhaps he's a little jealous of your success. I've never met anyone that would encourage people to take up analogs, so why discourage people trying to stop? Good luck to you Miss Ohio.

    Purified alcohol

    Tandy is owned by DSE so you may be out of luck. Jaycar have 200ml bottles on their website. Should be stores in Sydney. Yeah, just use your mouth like when you get a new atty. Blow from the threaded end. I' m not sure what propellant they use in those air cans. Your mouth will work fine. Cheers.

    After 2 weeks cannot inhale..

    Try dropping the nic content to 18mg or so. If that doesn't work, try using a VG based nic juice or at least diluting using VG. I found that using a drip tip on my Riva makes a big increase to the hit over using a cartridge. What's your set-up?

    How Long will this last

    I'm coming up to three weeks and have just stopped chain vaping. I guess it must be different for different people. Perhaps it's the feeling of freedom to vape anywhere that initially makes it so attractive. I mean, in 15 years I've never had an analog at my desk...

    Purified alcohol

    I normally dry the IPA/ethanol out of the atty with air. If it's been a while, I'll give it a quick rinse with water just in case the IPA dislodged some stuff and hasn't flushed it out, then blow air through it again. You don't need to do this, but I normally do. IPA is relatively non-toxic and...

    Purified alcohol

    You can get Isopropyl alcohol (ISO PRO/IPA) from Alltronics or D..k Smith's (DSE). It will evaporate pretty quickly but be sure to rinse the atty out fully before you start vaping again. Ethanol is an alternative and works well (I get it from the work Lab). DO NOT use methylated spirits or other...

    EM-RiVa Review

    I've just ordered a third one from Eastmall to give away. Haven't had anything to compare it to but they've been great so far.

    DIY Liquid questions..

    3. You can use either water or alcohol (I use vodka). Adding water to my sambuca mix made it go cloudy. VG is quite viscous (syrupy) so adding water or alcohol thins it out and makes it flow and vape more easily. 5. PG or VG can dilute the flavour, as well as water or alcohol. Don't use the...
