    I dont need big clouds, maybe I am weird?

    The objective of getting big clouds is what propels others to try everything. It's probably human nature not to have any satisfaction. You hear things like sub-ohm, micro-coil, and some other terms that if you're a newbie you'll get sucked into the whole hype. Man, how much current do you need...

    Thinking of spending the money for a provari

    Thinking of spending the money for a new tablet, which is cheaper than a Provari. No, I'll never spend $200 for a mere flashlight. I'll never forgive myself.

    1.5 carto or 2.5

    Years ago I thought anything above 2 ohms would barely produce vapor using non-VV mods. Now, I'm mostly using 2.5 ohms and I don't see any significant difference between LR and 2.5 ohm. And common sense tells me that LR attys use too much power, thus shortens the battery charge.

    Giving Up on RBAs and RDAs -- Impossible for me to do!

    Mine is a bit different. I ventured into this rebuilding stuff couple of months ago. My purpose was to give up the cartomizers, which I used for 2+ years. I bought Kayfuns, RSST, Protanks, and the materials associated with them. I was able to make standard things work, ie, no burnt taste, no...

    Your Single Best Advice for Newbies

    Don't read anything about nonsensical terms like sub-ohm, micro-coil... They're waste of time even for a guy who's been free of analogs for almost a three years now.

    Why mech mods??

    It's all about personal preferences. I mainly use my 18350 mech mods, there are six of them I accumulated over time, even though I have three VV mods. Why? I like something simple and handy. They're enough to satisfy my cravings, which is the main focus. I chuckle when I see terms like...

    what do you wish you did not do in beginning your vaping journey

    Nothing. You'll never know until you try them. I relied on positive reviews. Bottom line is they all work at first, several hours, days, then issues come up. You won't see anything perfect. It's the nature of the device. Whenever liquid is involved, expect to encounter issues. That's the way it...

    Kangertech UniTank Leak!!!

    Try thicker liquids. But then burnt taste might follow. There's no easy solution for these tanks. You need to keep trying other similar tanks with bottom coils. Some are way cheaper and provide more satisfying result.

    rebuilding coils

    I never really see the point of going that low, especially when you have a battery with variable voltage. And 2-2.5 ohms is just right for non VVs. What have I been missing? I mean how much heat do you need for a device that requires only a minimum amount to heat a liquid designed to vaporize...

    any info on R80?

    I've been trying to find where I could buy the clearomizer that goes with this pipe style mod. It's listed as mini clearomizer (chromed brass + Polycarbonate) I didn't use it when the product arrived (months ago) because it's looks attractive and I figured it's just another unreliable CE4...

    WANNA MAKE MY FATHER QUIT SMOKING! Which e-cig should I get?

    A pipe style e-cig will probably entice him. Or anything that is very attractive and shiny. I don't know. Most starters want cigalikes.

    Kanger coils??

    I've got a P2. I've managed to rebuild it several times and the leaking disappeared. Then just recently the leaking started like crazy. I have no idea why. And so I got curious about the X9 Protank, which I've read is compatible with P2. I bought 2 and extra five coils to see if they're...

    Cost effective vaping tips and tricks

    I got by without analogs using Boge cartos for more than 2 years now. Just recently, tanks, RBAs, whatever you call them, have become part of my vaping arsenal. Protank and Kayfun coils are relatively easy to set up, as compared to RSST types. So now I can use dark flavors whenever I want as...

    Just curious, anyone still using or even prefer cig-a-likes?

    On second thought, I applaud those who were able to quit smoking out of low powered cigalikes. It's probably a hit and miss thing. The ones I had didn't live up to expectations. Maybe some cigalikes are comparable to an Ego, which was the first e-cig I was closed to getting satisfied, and it's...

    Just curious, anyone still using or even prefer cig-a-likes?

    Yeah, my first cigalike was bought from a local convenience store. It wasn't cheap. When I run out of cartos, three days later, I went to another store and the replacement cartos were even more expensive. That's when I thought of buying online and the rest is history. Cigalikes are generally rip...

    Just curious, anyone still using or even prefer cig-a-likes?

    I bought lots of cigalikes when I was just starting out. That was more than two years ago. Some of them were dead on arrival, and the rest eventually died, meaning they can no longer be recharged, just dead. The last one I had was from Veppo. It looked and sized exactly like a cig, but the...

    Variable Wattage Mod

    How do you set the Sigelei to auto voltage? I set mine manually, and it remembers the last voltage you setup when you change the battery.

    Variable Wattage Mod

    I started with cigalikes and spent hundreds of dollars on them for the first 4-6 months or so. Long story short, I settled for mech mods (with 18350 batts) plus old school Boge or SM low res catromizers (long and short ones.) I still use them especially when I'm out and about. Mech mods because...

    Variable Wattage Mod

    I bought a Sigelei for 60 bucks at Canvape just a month or so ago, then a Vamo v3 for $50 from the same store a week later as a backup. I probably could have bought them cheaper somewhere, but I prefer to buy locally. So far so good. I bought the first one to augment my exploration of RBDs as a...
