    Re: EC directives, let's see them legislate this one (if all else fails)

    I don't know enough about any of this to offer suggestions except for this one: I would NOT use the ether used for quick-starting recalcitrant engines. The reason for this is, those products aren't pure ether but contain a top-cylinder lubricant as well. Now I'm no chemist but AFAIK the pure...

    Advice on hard hitting mechanical

    Something I love & highly recommend is IkenVape's Cannon dripping atomizers. I've never used an eGo Twist but from the specs on them I'd suggest the 1.5, 1.8 and/or 2.5 ohm. Even if you decide dripping is more trouble than it's worth, it's still the best way to test new liquids, bar none. These...

    Yep, vaping more than I was but still smoking too much. I bought a rebuildable AGA Tiamat PLUS (atomizer/tank) from Discount Vapers, made a SS wick & a coil for it and I'm loving it so far. Gotta mix some more juice for variety; I've been vaping this French Pipe juice I made using Vapor Zone's...

    Hello, and thanks for the Christmas Tree! :D I haven't been on here for awhile... lots of crazy going on in my life these days. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas & are starting 2013 off with a bang! Things are okay with me now but hit a rough spot just before Christmas that shot me outta the...

    Thanks Steve, I think that's a great way of going about things. I haven't logged into ECF for awhile - lots of stuff going on - & I really appreciate your thinking of me. Hope you & your family & friends had a great Christmas, and I hope 2013 is shaping up to be your best year yet! Peace &...

    New to E Cigarettes, Help?

    I honestly don't think you can - sort of another "apples to oranges" thing. From your previous post I see you've chosen several different nic levels, which is probably a good idea. That difference will make each "equal" puff on each juice contain an unequal amount of nicotine. There are other...

    Well, I never entirely stopped, although early on when I saw how well vaping was working for me I did give it some thought. I was down to one or two cigs a day there for awhile, plus a pipe once in a great while. Thing is, I mostly do pretty well until something in my life tries to speed me up...

    Thanks, I'm hangin' in there. Haven't been online much lately & hardly on ECF at all. Also haven't been vaping as much as before & smoking RYO stinkies. I'm trying to move back in the right direction now though... experimenting with making wicks & coils for the Viva Novas. This is just practice...

    Startup Costs

    I differentiate between the money I spend on material goods & money I invest in my education, though I don't do this on paper. I figure most of what I've spent on vaping supplies was actually educational expenses & I don't even try to keep up with those. It takes what it takes to learn what we...

    How to add th to low nic juice

    I don't think actual "throat hit" such as you'd get with a cigarette is possible without nicotine, but it can be muted or enhanced by varying the VG/PG ratio. More PG will carry the flavor & the TH better; more VG produces more vapor but mutes the flavor & TH. Also it can be faked by adding a...

    Party life and vaping, trying to avoid bumming cigarettes!

    I'd suggest removing the Mini-Nova while carrying it in a pants pocket. The movement even in loose jeans can cause the base or end cap to unscrew a bit. I had this happen & leaked most of the juice out before I noticed it. Best wishes & happy vaping! :D

    What do i call my e-cig?

    In most cases I doubt if it matters what you tell folks, they'll hear what they want to hear. OTOH a lot of people will be genuinely interested - especially folks who have been trying to kick cigarettes for years & failing miserably. For the benefit of those poor souls I think a brief...

    VG, PG - PO'd. Who Has Clouds Of "Flavor"

    You might want to experiment a bit with attys, cartos, etc. to see what works best for you. There are lots of options for your eGo - most stuff with 510 threading will run on it. First of all I'd avoid dual coils and try some Low Resistance stuff (around 1.5 - 2.0 Ohms) in single coils. Also, a...

    Bought some new cartos. What happened?

    If you haven't already done so, touch the pos. & neg. probes together & make sure you're reading "0" ohms (or close to it) on your meter. That's to make sure the meter & probes/wires are all working properly. :vapor:

    Next Adventure : What E-Cig should I have Next?

    Couple of thoughts: first, some kind of backup is always an excellent idea, and the sooner the better. And second, the more you know about the PV you have, the more you'll know about the one you'll want next. IOW, what do you like about the one you've got now? What do you wish it could do that...

    Bottles???

    I haven't ordered from these folks but they have an interesting selection: Specialty Bottle - Glass Bottles, Glass Jars, Tin Containers, Vials, Plastic Bottles, Plastic Jars for Food, Cosmetics, Candles and Aromatherapy

    E-cig only? Or e-cig and cigarettes?

    It takes what it takes to get where you're going, and if you worry about it the stress will probably slow you down. Every cigarette we DON'T SMOKE is a WIN, so I'd rather celebrate my little victories than mourn any perceived losses. I've been vaping close to a year now (actually not sure just...

    UltraSonic cleaner to clean cartos

    You might try denture cleansing tablets (smoker's version). I've been using these with pretty good results. :D
