Welcome. I'm like most of you guys, vaped with the prehistoric stuff for years before joining the forum and it really helped. Now I am only on infrequently, and sometimes have no idea what they are talking about with all these new types of batts and tanks and so on. I remember when there was...

Ditto, everything is a personal preference. I don't think about it one way or the other, I just wrap and if it is spaced or not, same thing really. I just try and hit my ohm goal. Different atty's like different styles, just find what works best for you and keep doing that. You don't need to...

I buy nic from Wizard Labs. Great prices and quality is excellent. I even now buy flavors from them, which they used to not sell. I only use VG BTW. (100% VG) Go to the DIY forum, get the calculator, and review the stickies about proper lab procedures. I buy the 100mg nic, but I have been...

Most have different flavors for different moods or time of day, many of us have tons of flavors because we tried so many. I have a box full of old liquid that I never used. That and a bunch of flavor vials of flavors I just got tired of. One day I found an old Dekang RY4 original that I...

My latest charger is an xtar vp2 and is a champ. The NiteCore I had before died. I ditto those above, use a charger and use low amps like .25, slower to charge, but better for batt life. Panasonic is also a very good batt. fasttech is a good source and they tell you the manufacturers mAh...

In realty it doesn't make much of a difference. They won't short if they are touching because of the coating of the wires. These problems come from the gauge of the wire, I have been rebuilding for years and I just wrap it tight spaced. You shouldn't be compressing, but wrapping it in the...

Welcome and congratulations on making the right decision. It took me a couple of months before I quit analogues completely. The right equipment is everything. Everyone will have advice, but the thing about vaping is that it is very personal. Trial and error will eventually lead you to what...

Just wanted to do a follow-up. Working like gang busters. I can screw the tank down as tight as I want no problem, liquid can't get in anywhere if it leaks either. I had a harbor freight o-ring set and used number 007, if that helps anybody. Shaunieboy -- when I started getting the 9.9ohm...

Fluke is the best, but $2 on sale at harbor freight will work fine. Just remember to touch the two leads together to find how much you will need to subtract (meter alone 1.1, tank=3.5, minus 1.1=2.4 is the actual ohm). BTW: a 9.9ohm reading means something else.

Finally needed to do the o-ring mod. Easiest thing yet. Here is what I did: used an o-ring with ID 5/32 and OD 9/32 from a set I have from Harbor Freight. Used a dental pick to pull up on the pin, then used it to pull out the stock white o-ring. Then (without cutting th o-ring at all) I got...

In CA it is not just about tobacco or nicotine, the law mentions e-cig parts too. Need a new tank, sorry, can't but the one form Florida for $6.50, you have to somehow find a store within an hour driving distance, and pay $12 so the B&M guy can pay his rent on top of a heavier profit, and on...

This is the problem in California, all these are safe districts, we just can't get the idiots out of office. If it looks like the might have opposition, the state just redistricts to keep them safe. There is a politician, O' Connell (sic), that voted for several bills some time ago that over...

What I can't figure out is: if this is supposed to "protect kids" then how are they buying them on the internet? Do they all have credit cards in their own name? Where the heck are the parents? Why should adults be penalized because some idiots won't supervise their children better. On the...

I picked up one of these awhile ago and it is just slightly taller than an ego 1100mah and fatter, but very portable and feels nice in the hand. At 1300mah, it last a long time, which is what I want since my smaller vv is a twist (900mah). My other vv batts (like the vamo and provari) are just...

Cody, There are several things to consider. Size is a big one, the other is battery charge. They kind of go hand in hand, but you will also need to decide what else you want it to do other than just be a VV. What I would consider an entry level MOD, something that does more just adjust...

This was interesting: In COPD and asthma patients the use of one e-cigarette seemed to have no immediate effect to airway resistance. So if our lungs are already damaged by analogues, then we don't have a problelm. What they are really interested in is "unapproved nicotine delivery products"...

Steeping is just letting it sit and aging. Hoosier is the man. Read his flavor blog here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/hoosier/2254-hoosiers-flavoring-levels-aka-general-diy-guide-flavoring-ratios.html#comment4799 There are comments about steeping at the end that are...

I was reading a nic base comparison and someone put this thread link. After reading it reminded me of this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-e-liquid-discussion/3204-ph-values-harshness-eliquid.html Looking at the evidence, if you increase the acid content (lower the ph)...

Pretty much if it fits and works, it should be safe.

Commie -- you must have stood over the pot for a long time. That is how distillers seperate the alcohol from the mash, by boiling and then condensing. If you are cooking with a bit, it is neglilgible, but you must have had a fifth in there! Sorry for laughing, I had never hear of anybody...
