    You know you've been vaping a while when...

    You know you've been vaping a while when... You recognize what a CE2 is, know how teabags were used and with which attys. And remember when the first rebuild able attys were released, was frightfully expensive. Have a few Pucks in your stash box. But most of all you don't have any idea of what...

    NEW TAX PROPOSAL IN CONNECTICUT, USA THAT CAN BANKRUPT VAPE SHOPS

    It's even simpler than that, they need to replace the lost taxes from smokers quitting. Cigarette taxes make up large parts of many state's budgets. Vaping, with no tax collected is cutting into the amount of dollars politicians can spend....fate worse than death to the pols.

    I remember back in the day...

    Always liked hanging out on ECF. My problem is this thread is the only one left where I recognize the hardware being discussed!! :blush:

    Nicotine overdose

    That figure is based on a very old and faulty study.... How much nicotine kills a human? Tracing back the generally accepted lethal dose to dubious self-experiments in the nineteenth century

    Tank for newbie to advanced users, subtank still?

    I don't qualify as a noob, but have been using sub-tank mini's since they were new. Love them and use them daily with my own coils. Not sure how good their pre-built coils are, never use them.

    Vaping catastrophies and things that make you scream OH NO

    Go into a Walmart and check the bulletin board by customer service...dozens of recalls for battery powered items, not e-cigs yet, but flashlights, toys and other assorted items. Mishandled or poorly engineered battery powered items can be explosive.

    Wattage

    I'll vape in the 12 watt range, get good flavor, enough clouds, and my preferred throat hit. You have an adjustable mod, try some lower settings to see if it suits YOU. Pleasing you is the number one concern. It's also amazing how many mods you can buy on clearance because they "only" go to...

    I remember back in the day...

    Wasn't the airstone supposed to be an easier to use replacement for SS mesh in the genny tanks? And yes, I also have SS mesh in my stash box with my blue foam....:facepalm:

    weight gain since vaping

    I put on a few pounds sort of due to vaping. Once I was off the smokes for a while, I found I could taste my food much better, and better taste led to eating more..:blush:

    Cleaning with vodka?

    I tried Everclear, buy most of it ended up in fruit punches...:thumb:

    Vaping catastrophies and things that make you scream OH NO

    The Drip-on-Demand don't work as well as advertised, needs an occasional squeeze to keep the coil fed. That said, they do actually make dripping easy, if VERY weird looking. Perfect for a trip to your local vape shop...

    Steeping vs Airing Out?

    May depend on the flavorings used, as leaving the cap off would allow more of any alcohol carrier to dissipate.

    Vaping catastrophies and things that make you scream OH NO

    My worst OH NO moment was with my last surviving eGo 350 original. Was building a coil for it on a RDA and tried adjusting the coil with a jewelers screwdriver. My normal eye to hand coordination took over and accidentally fired it with the screwdriver touching the coil, the 350 lost all it's...

    What else have you used to try and quit smoking?

    I tried gum, patches and lozenges multiple times each, cold turkey also (but it was too difficult to keep burying the bodies). Wellbutrin, Zyban from my doc, but as soon as I quit the meds, I was smoking by the end of the week. Had a kidney removed for cancer, and it was a wake-up call...found...

    Cleaning with vodka?

    I've used isopropyl alcohol from CVS for cleaning the tough stains, cheaper than vodka. Just let it completly evaporate or rinse with water, before using the tank, RDA or drip tip.

    Need upgrade for subtank mini - building my own coils

    I've been using a couple sub-tank minis since they first came out. Using the same resistance range and maybe 2 or 3 watts higher than you, with slightly spaced coils. Only big difference is I've only used rayon in mine, nice fairly tight wick with big fluffed ends. My coils and wicks are...

    Looking for RTA that vapes kinda like Nautilus

    I've been using my Sub-Tank Minis (may update to TopTank sometime, not soon) and started with the airflow at the tiniest sliver, with 1.5 ohm coils. Worked fine for me, easy to build, easy to fill, good flavor, good vapor production. I've gone to lower ohm coils and slightly more airflow, but...
