    DNA 133 not holding a profile

    So my dna took a drop last night from a night stand, all of 2-1/2 feet, and today it won't hold my profile. I have a profile setup on slot 5 for SS316L, and when in use I have it set to show the profile name "316L" at the bottom of the display and I normally vape around 480F. Now it's just...

    Help. Suggest me a juice that does NOT gunk my coil

    Does anyone vape a commercially available juice that they can confirm does not gunk up their coils/wicks? By confirm, I mean can you say first hand that your wicks last a week or more with your liquid (say ~100ml of use). If so, please link it. I have to change my wick every day (see pics)...

    Sold on TC! What to Buy???

    Thanks to some very helpful posters, I'm now sold on temperature control. I want to see what this is all about first hand. Trouble is, what to buy? I've spent nearly all day today and yesterday reading threads (waiting to move offices at work... nothing to do). The options are dizzying...

    Taifun Woes

    I've posted this on the Taifun thread, but I thought I'd get perspective from the larger group on RTA. I'vehad my authentic TGTII for a bit over a year and a half. I love it, but it's hard as hell to get replacement parts. One screw is almost completely stripped on top, and I just used some...

    1st RTA? Which one?

    I'm looking to purchase my first RTA, and I could really use some advice... Out of the gate I want to say I'm very sorry for starting a thread for this, but I have been reading threads on this subforum for three nights straight and I'm still overwhelmed. ANY help, suggestions, recommendations...

    Need to save Money $$$ -- Ideas?

    I need to fine a way to trim my vaping budget. I hope some of you have some ideas, or better yet have tried to trim your own vape budget before. Current Practice and Costs: I've recently switched to BVC's (1.8ohm) and I run them in a Silo Tank on a Provari Mini. My daily vape (all the time)...

    Time to upgrade?

    I've been vaping a bit over two years, and my setup is a Boge standard res carto in a tank on top of a Provari. Trouble is these cartos have become really inconsistent. Many burn or scorch way too fast, even in the first half hour. I don't know what is going on with the manufacturing but it...

    Boba's Alternative or Replacement juice? Anything like Boba's?????!!!!!

    I need something to tide me over until Boba's gets back in stock. Think of it as Methadone for my ...... addiction. :) Its now been two weeks and there is no update as promised. I'm almost out of Boba's and I'm starting to panic. I'm a relatively new vaper, and Boba's is basically the only...

    VG and tanks?... Not a marriage made in heaven?

    Can VG and VG/PG mixes be successfully vaped in a tank? And I mean getting some real vapor, not dinky little dryish pulls... I haven't had too much luck with my Cartomator, but Kay1959 seemed certain that it sounded like my juice was too thick, so... I went through my juices and found one...

    Vaping WIN! At last (hopefully)!

    I just got some new CE3's in from GotVapes, their Phoenix Top Coils, and at least the one I am vaping is a total win. I had tried the CE2s before, as well as the Vivi Nova (2.5), and didn't like them. They both tasted plasticy to me so I assumed this whole family of products tasted like that...

    Tank vaping = disappointing vaping? Say it ain't so!

    Do all tanks give a disappointing vape? Certainly not, otherwise why would so many people use them? I have two, a Smoketech cheap-o and a Cartomator from NHaler. Both give me just enough vapor so that I'm getting something, but it's dry, airy, and almost flavorless. I've gone back to...

    Wire 101... so lost.

    I just got a Penelope and I've decided that RBA are the way to go. Only trouble is figuring this stuff out. I have a few questions (along with theories) mostly about wire. Thanks to MickeyRat, I've been reading a huge thread on wicks, so I think I'll get to the point where I've got that...

    Steadily Dropping Resistance? ... On its own?

    I have both a 306 atty and a Boge carto that are steadily dropping in their resistance today. 306 started out at 2.0ohm and has fallen to 1.2ohm; and the Boge started out at 2.9ohm and has fallen 2.1ohm. This has all happend over the course of the day, and started checking them because they...

    What is out there? Looking for a round up of rebuildables / repariables

    Ok, I'm sick of my other vaping methods. (thread all about this here ). I've tried cartos, CE2s, a Vivi Nova, and tanks. Basically all have pluses and minuses, but none of them are a fit for me. What I have recently discovered is dripping. Got a 306 atty at the suggestion of other ECF folks...

    New Tank, Horrible Vape. :(

    I just got a Cartomator Tank, and the vape is horrible. It's not filling the carto. I'm getting a dry, airy vape with nothing but a watery taste, and when I look in the carto its bone dry. It must be damp-ish down in there somewhere, because it doesn't taste burnt and still vapes, but what is...

    Stock Question and Product Sugestion :)

    I have one question and one suggestion... First, How fast do items normally come back in stock at Super T? Because I might kill someone for a satin shorty wide mouth T-Tip. :) Second, Does anyone know if Super T has any plans to make a tank? I can't help but think that if they offered a...

    QUESTION: What do you use to vaporize your liquid??? I can't find a fit for me yet.

    I've got my device, and now I've got my juice, but I'm not overly happy with how I vaporize it so I'm looking for ideas/suggestions. Here is what I've tried with comments: -Boge 3.0ohm Cartos (reg size) These are great and the closest thing I have to being happy with my system. Flavor and...
