    Long Beach regs, well...

    New Long Beach, Ca. regulations go into effect next month. What this article doesn't say is that vaping will even be banned in vape shops. Seriously. I can go to a shop and buy everything I need to vape at home or in the few areas left that it's legal but cannot be exposed to vapor in the...

    tobacco and depression?

    I've never been a depressed person. Now I started smoking at a young age and was up to a pack a day by 13 or so. Whenever I'd quit without replacement of some sort, I'd get horribly depressed. Even when I was strictly vaping alone, the depression would rear it's ugly head once sending me back...

    Snuff

    I find myself this time around needing 4-5 smokes a day still. I cannot stand having snus packts in, it isn't something I ever got used to as hard as I tried, so I just ordered some nasal snuff to give a try. I figure that will help get those maoi's or other alkoloids I think I am crqaving...

    Okay for starters?

    Fooling myself?

    I currently vape 24mg strawberry menthol pretty much exclusively. I like it and stick to it being a somewhat simple dude. I decided to check into diy and was getting a headache from all the math (I think the various chemicals I exposed myself to in the 70's and 80's made math difficult for me...

    Condolences

    To everyone in Norway I offer my deepest empathy. I'm glad they got the dude who did this, but I know that brings no one back. I, and I'm sure the rest of the U.S., cry with you.

    510 connectors

    I am (im)patiently awaiting some more pre-wired connectors, but seeing there are none available, I have a question. The small hole 510 connectors are almost impossible for my O.J. sized hands to solder, and I was wondering, are the large hole ones easier? Also, if I fill the large hole with...

    Nut on my Rough Stack

    The nut came off of the switch on my Rough Stack V2. I was going to purchase a new switch (it works fine, however I must be careful when changing batteries) but I was going to get it for the nut and to have a spare. I noticed the picture of the switch has no nut on it. Does the switch come...

    Gold Rush Mod! Woohoo!

    Thanks for making some of these! I've had my eye on them for what seems like forever! Got your newsletter and saw the maxi stick and almost pulled the pin on one until I checked the availability on the Gold Rush mods and they were in! I like the looks and the button on these so much better...

    Needed more...and found it!

    I've been vaping for a couple months now without an analog, and was doing fine until just recently. I started craving analogs like crazy! I started reading about MAOI's, and this makes a lot of sense. I had been smoking since I was 13 and Ford was president. God, I'm old, lol! Anyways, I...

    my first box mod

    I am vaping right now on a box mod I assembled from parts I bought from Mad Vapes. I just got the parts (enough to make 3 3.7 volt 2 aa box mods) and not the kits. I bought extras thinking I wouldn't get it right right away. I have enough parts left over to make two more. This may not sound...

    clueless potential modder

    I just ordered a 3.7v box mod from mad vapes for two reasons. First off, I like a slightly lower voltage vape, as I currently have a 5v passthrough that is just a bit much (still use it with smaller hits, but prefer the smaller voltage batts). The second reason is that I want to build my own...

    Couple months in

    It's the middle of the night, o.k. morning, at work and I haven't posted for a while, so here's a little update a couple months into vaping after 35 years at a pack and a half of analogs a day. I have never felt better! I looked in the mirror this afternoon before work and noticed a...

    A couple weeks or so in

    I've been vaping without any analogs (funny how the first letters are .......now they taste like that's where they came from, lol) and have a few observations. First off, a lot of my breath came back almost IMMEDIATELY! After 35 years at a pack and a half a day, this is amazing to me! I...

    Hello 016 batteries

    I was wondering if you will be getting any in stock. I bought a kit (from someone else, sorry, you didn't have them in stock, however I do have some juice and a regular 510 kit with other goodies coming from you all) and would love a spare battery. Also, just a question about the charger...

    new hello 016...goodbye blu! and a bit of a rant...sorry...

    My hello 016 arrived today and the battery had a charge, so obviously I had to give it a whirl and, wow, I know what vaping is like now! I have a blu (like I said, I drank the blu koolaid and it was not so good...) which I'm vaping now while the hello charges. Giving it the full 8 hours like...

    Short Introduction

    Realized I've been here asking questions and such and hadn't introduced myself yet, so here goes! I started smoking young, at about 13. That was 35 years ago (man, the math scares me!) with one short 6 month period of not smoking in my mid 20's. In August of '09 I had a mild heart...

    510 models cross-compatibility

    I recently ordered a Hello 016 which should be here tomorrow and I just ordered a regular 510 kit to replace the Blu that I am unhappy with and to use when I don't want that big batery between me and other people, know what I mean there? I also ordered some 510 cartos and some juice. Now I...

    Hello 016 and 510 cartos ?

    I have a Hello 016 coming (shipped today, woohoo!) and would like to use fillable cartos on it. I don't care about looks, so if the cone has to go no biggee. My question is, what cartos work best on it? I have no idea about ohms, clear cartos, etc. so any and all information is...
