    Ever Tried Peroxide???

    I sometimes soak Vivi heads in diluted peroxide for a couple of days and then rinse them really well. I also (in the old old days of bridged 800s) occasionally used a solution of phosphoric acid and then rinsed in distilled water with a bit of baking soda with a final water rinse. Used to use...

    Anyone have any experience with an EVIC?

    I'm feeling the itch to add another mod. If I choose not to go mechanical again, I'm trying to pick between an EVIC and a Zmax telescopic. Anyone compared them side by side?

    Has anyone tried using a section of ceramic wick to rewick a protank atomizer?

    I've been using silica, and I've seen several threads where folks have used mesh, but I haven't seen anything with ceramic wicks.

    Wear Gloves!

    I use gloves and syringes when I'm making base. I buy my nicotine at 100mg/ml and cut it down with PG. Easiest way I've found to do it was with a couple of small plastic containers. I think my wife got them at the dollar store. That saves me from having to twist a bottle around in order to reach...

    Still smoking analogs? Something that you might not know...

    I'll admit that I still have to have an analog a couple of times a day. First thing in the AM in particular. I've tried a ton of juices, but none of them quite measures up to an actual cigarette with my coffee. And sometimes after I eat, though I've been doing what I can to break that habit...

    Issues with a CVI V2...

    Turns out all I had to do was tear the top off of it and resolder. Good as new!

    The FastTech Thread For All FastTech Posts

    That guy loading boxes is having a seriously bad day. And the recipients of said boxes will be having a worse day. Unreal. I have a love/hate relationship with fasttech. I can never resist ordering from them, but then, three weeks later when my stuff hasn't arrived, I swear them off forever...

    Fasttech shipping time?

    Ha! I ordered some stuff from them on the 20th of June and just finally got it yesterday. Ordered 4 items, they sent 3 packages. "Hey, where's my stuff?" "Oh, we'll have that shipped by the end of the day..." *one week later* "Hey, where's my stuff?" "Uh, we'll have that shipped by the end of...

    Issues with a CVI V2...

    For some reason I can't get it to consistently work with rebuildables. I don't have any shorts in my coils, and they work just fine on an E-Go battery and with my Sigelei #20, but the CVI will fire it for a second, then cut out, then it won't work for several tries, then it will fire, over and...

    My order came up one bottle of concentrate short!

    Awesome. Emailed a pic of the invoice this afternoon. I appreciate it. And the fruit stripe gum concentrate is freaking addictive!

    My order came up one bottle of concentrate short!

    Ordered a bottle of Fruit Stripe, Red Bull, Coffee, Peach Tobacco (which somehow got read as a two bottles of peach tobacco), a bottle of pre-mixed Apple Tobacco and a botle of Caffiene. Oepend my order up and had six bottles of juice plus a sample bottle (which I love-vendors who send out...

    The “Cola” Method Taken to Another Level That Works

    StarSan is a phosphoric acid based cleaner/sanitizer. Not sure of the concentration, but I know that when the concentrate is mixed at about 1/4 cup to a gallon of water, it's not rough on your hands and does a fantastic job sanitizing brewing equipment. (Sorry-bit of a beer nut) You can also use...

    The “Cola” Method Taken to Another Level That Works

    I was the poster who suggested that it was the phosphoric acid rather than any carbonic acid responsible for cleaning the element. If you can find a homebrew shop or bar supply store (or ask your local friendly barkeep), look for tap cleaner or similar. I used it to clean the metal poppet valves...

    How do you fix bad USB Pass Throughs?

    I messed around with where the wire was-different angles, tensions and whatnot, and when I found a spot that worked, I had my darling wife tape the wire into position. A bit more tweaking and I haven't had a problem since. Gotta figure the stuff's made in China, so there are bound to be QC...

    Cold Pen-Style Atomizers. Broken wiring? NOPE!

    You're quite welcome. Most brew shops or restaraunt supply places should have it (you might even see if you can mooch some "tap cleaner" from your friendly local barkeep. I gotta figure something out-my first atomizer died within 24 hours and my second was dead in 12. Fortunately, the guys at...

    Is it just me.....

    A member at arfcom (a gun board with about 200k members) started a thread about e-cigs late last week. I wouldn't be surprised if a couple hundred folks registered due to that thread.. That's how I found this board.

    Put down that E-cigarette!

    Reading things like that makes my skin crawl. I responded thusly: "My fear, with any product that masquerades as a nicotine delivery device (including candy cigarettes), is that e-cigarettes give the appearance that smoking is a morally acceptable behavior." Madam, candy cigarettes are not...

    This Arrest is VERY scary in HK

    Unreal. I keep my ear out for governmental intrusions, particularly because of my uber-pariah position of being not only a smoker, but a gun owner as well. You want to talk about stupid nanny state drivel? Look into the constant effort to demonize firearms and their owners.

    I want it strong

    Soon as I can find the 36mg Wicked unflavored stuff, I believe I'll have to start making my own flavorings-hell, I make my own beer, wine and mead, might as well carry on with the ultra custom stuff-I wasn't impressed with the e-smoke liquids at all-kind of tastes like burnt hazelnut. Not like...

    Newly registered members - Please read!

    [wave] Hey-found out about e-cigs and this site from arfcom, and I have to say, awesome! Got my starter kit this morning (ordered it Friday afternoon) and have only had about 5 regular cigarettes today. Very impressive, particularly since I was smoking nearly 3 packs a day. Once I find the...
