    FDA Prevent Cancer Foundation's comment on FDA Deeming Regulation

    http://cqrcengage.com/preventcancer/file/9Pz92SPD2VB/PreventCancerFoundation%20FDA%20Comments%20August%202014.pdf They seem mostly focused on preventing the availability of nicotine-containing products to minors, which is something which most of us favor, as well as child-proof packaging on...

    FDA Why some folks didn't comment, apparently

    "I use FDA-verboten products regularly anyway, why should I care if they add one more to the list". (paraphrased) No concern for us law-abiding citizens, just "can I get my nice juice at 2AM in a dark alley". Exactly the same thing as gun control. No criminal will ever care about ATF...

    Russian lead-post attachment

    Which way do you attach it? Why? Obviously, both leads need to be attached to opposite sides of the posts so as to center the coil above the airhole. But do you attach the leads to the side to which they are closer? Or to the side further from it? It's tough to describe in words, so terrible...

    Did I get fake AW IMR 18650s?

    My two 1.5 year old AW IMR 18650s (2000mAh) display 4.2V on my Provari as well as on my Lavatube v1 when fully charged. I bought these from Provape, an authorized reseller of AW batteries. I just received two new AW IMR 18650s from a respected eliquid vendor. These batteries only, for whatever...

    Vivi Nova max wattage?

    Why do vivi nova heads burn at such low power? 2.8 burns over 4v. 2.2 over 3.8. 1.8 over 3.5. Resistance has been checked and is typically the same as indicated. Device is a Lavatube. I can vape my 3.0 ohm Smoktech cartomizer or a Boge at 5v or higher all day long. Where's the design...

    Visited E-Six in Branford today

    Great place. Picked up 2x30mL of juice, made to order while I waited for prices consistent with mid-range online retailers, and had the chance to talk with the guys running the place a bit. Selection of real e-cigs/mods/APVs/whatever you want to call them. I saw a SmokTech Telescope, a...

    Chemistry of "Steeping" and observations?- premixed flavors vs. individual flavors, PG vs. VG vs. both

    In another thread, I posted the following: So- I'd be interested in hearing different experiences with premixed flavor bunches and single flavors vs. combining varieties of flavors themselves, as well as a chemical/scientific explanation of the process if anyone is qualified to even guess at...

    Apple Cider?

    Anyone have a recommendation for a vendor/juice in an apple cider type of flavor? The unique temperature of e-cig vapor would seem to fit the flavor perfectly, as would the season, but the only vendors I can find in a quick cursory search either are places I don't entirely trust (Johnson Creek)...

    808 threaded ego battery?

    Got the newsletter today, and it brought up the topic of tanks, specifically that they fit V4L's 808-threaded ego batteries. Can someone point me to where this is sold on their site?

    What brand atomizers with Torpedo VVV kit?

    I purchased a Torpedo VVV from you guys about 2 months ago, and I've been nothing but pleased with it. The kit came with two atomizers claimed to be standard resistance, and which looked like Boge atomizers (gold threads). I have, since, purchased Boge atomizers and found them to be nowhere...

    Smelly juices

    Most juices don't smell- however, some do. I've noticed that some of the "berry flavors" have a distinct aroma, as well as the hazelnut from Dekang 3&5 and some of the gourmet-vendor flavors. Do you modulate your vaping behavior at all dependent on whether you're vaping something that adds...

    Equiipment Death Day

    Yesterday: My mom & pop mini-sub tank flooded. I burnt out my dripping atomizer A clearomizer died on me. I dropped my lavatube with another clearomizer on it and broke the 510-510 adapter I was using to connect it. Lavatube was fine (thank god). Anyone else have these days where everything...

    Odd e-liquid behavior with voltage

    Has anyone experienced an e-liquid that vapes "hotter" at lower voltages, simply because of the way the flavors interact in your mouth? This V4L RY4... on an ego battery (at 2.2-2.4 ohms, claimed by the manufacturer of the puromizer), the caramel flavoring seems to condense in the mouth and...

    How many drops in a milliliter of PG?

    I regularly fit 30 drops or so into 808 cartomizers, and 50 into a "1.6ML" CE2 clearomizer. That leads me to believe that PG drops are smaller than water drops, but how much smaller?

    Joker AV?

    I've been looking at eventually picking up a VV tube mod, and the options within a fairly reasonable price range seem to be: 1. Joker AV 2. BuzzPro 3. Lavatube Now- I haven't experimented too terribly much with cartomizers and tanks and atomizers (I'm coming off an eGo system), but I would like...

    Got my neo classic yesterday, initial thoughts

    First of all- I can definitely tell the difference in the vape with the AirFlow Control Ring fully closed, and like it better. A much "warmer" vape without the extra cold air breaking in. I tend to like it a lot better than my Ego-T kit from cignot. The flavors come out much stronger and...

    Ego-T died, looking for something new

    I'm looking for an ecig that's easier to fill than my KR808D-1, and with a slightly less intense throat hit, but with significantly more flavor and throathit than the Ego-T had even on its best days. Ego-C is a bit more than I'm hoping to spend, but it's a possibility. Is the throathit better...

    808 cartomizers burning too quick

    Refilling cartos is a hassle, though I intend to get an Ego or Ego-T at some point to save money/time/etc. And the V4L cartomizers I sold seem (thus far) to be holding up better than the cig2o ones... but is there anything I can do to avoid burning out the cig2o ones so quickly? It seems like...
