    From my facebook memories

    This popped up today from March 30th, 2014. I had captioned it with the following: "This is what I'm currently vaping. For some reason it reminds me of Christmas and Harry Potter movies." I remember that. I miss that. I always liked their Original, Red Oak Domestic and especially their Spiced...

    F.D.A. Authorizes E-Cigarettes to Stay on U.S. Market for the First Time

    This whole thing just reeks of crony capitalism. First they take out all the mom and pop companies who can’t pay the large fees for product testing, while at the same time the news media run rampant with health concerns. Then once that’s all finished they start approving big tobacco company...

    Why didn't vaping come a decade or two earlier?

    Just talking with my girlfriend and we were wondering why vaping didn't come about a decade or two before it did. Like in the 90s or 80s. For the most part the technology is fairly simple. It's not like computer technology which had to get more and more advanced over the years. It's simple...

    What is going on with all these deaths?

    Thanks everyone. I figured something like that was going on. After all, I've felt fine and people have been vaping for years now and most seem fine. So the media is just doing what it always does. Being sensationalist and selling fear and outrage.

    What is going on with all these deaths?

    Suddenly there is all this media backlash against vaping and I have friends and family urging me to quit. My teenage son is really concerned because of the people dying from vaping. I've been vaping for ten years. I've been making my own liquid for eight of those years. Where is all of this...

    Vaping in Aus

    Sounds pretty harsh over there. You might want to make the leap into DIY juice. That way you can just make more and not have to pay that shipping all the time from NZ.

    Mods with USB-C

    Never even heard of magnetic connectors.

    Mods with USB-C

    I'm looking for a small single 18650 mod with USB-C charging. Something similar to eVic VTC Mini. I just want to switch everything over to USB-C in my life. I like the connector type, it seems sturdier and I like the ability to plug it in either way.

    Interesting Battery Tech Artical

    Google's Schmidt Flags Promise in New Goodenough Battery Glass solid state batteries with better safety and 3X the power. Sounds good to me.

    What will you miss the most....

    I'm wondering how many smaller juice vendors are just going to start giving away their recipes online if they can no longer afford to sell their juice.

    Mod charges faster than wall charger

    I was talking from a safety perspective. But yes, being slow is a good reason to upgrade my charger. I use Samsung 25AMP batteries. But I also typically vape at 10 watts on a 1.8ohm coil. So I think I should be alright.

    Mod charges faster than wall charger

    I've had the Trustfire for about five years. It's worked fine in all that time, so I'm not going to suddenly start not trusting it. But it is slow and I guess I know why now. I probably should get a newer charger anyway or just use my girlfriend's Nitecore.

    Mod charges faster than wall charger

    The wall charger is a Trustfire TR-001. It's always taken about 8 hours for an 18650. But my Evic VTC Mini is two hours or less. About two hours if the battery is dead.

    Mod charges faster than wall charger

    I've noticed over the last couple months of using my VTC Mini, that my battery goes from empty to fully charged in about a couple hours if I plug it into the USB jack and charge it in the mod itself. If I take the battery out and put it into a dedicated 18650 wall charger it takes about eight...

    Those People

    I don't know if there is anything we can really do about it but laugh it off. I just hope it doesn't become a common perception.

    Those People

    I wouldn't call that an example of what I'm talking about. I'm talking about stuff like this: and this [Image removed due to language] The first one is actually pretty funny IMO. But again my concern is that it might turn some smokers away from vaping because they don't want to be viewed...

    Those People

    Lately I've noticed a backlash against vaping and vapers. Not the kind I'm used to seeing about how vaping is bad for you and all that from anti-smoking people who lump in vaping. But among some of my "facebook friends" who like to post memes about how vapers are douchebags. Now I'm not...

    What is a mouth, lung and stealth inhale?

    My girlfriend and I were recently having this discussion and we both seem to have different definitions. To her: 1. A mouth inhale is taking the vapor into your mouth, maybe letting it hit the back of your mouth/throat and exhaling. The way cigar smokers are supposed to smoke. This is how she...

    Crazy how much has changed in 6 years

    I was just thinking. I started vaping back in 2009. Six years ago. Times were different then. lol I first heard of e-cigs at a bachlor party in late 2007 or early 2008 I think. Hard to remember because I wasn't paying much attention. A friend of mine had ordered a pen style e-cig from a vendor...
