    Just ordered an Aegis X

    Red/black to go with my blue/black Legend and only surviving Wismec, ironically the first rx200. Yes, TC can be fiddly and inconsistent until you get a firm handle on build quality, but as a working wrench that spends a lot of time recovering in a boat on a windy lake, these bulletproof devices...

    Still the best

    I'm not sure if saying something nice about Canvape here will cause this comment to be removed -- an action I totally get btw. (cough cough, sock-puppets! cough...) However I am moved by genuine gratitude to sing the praises of Canvape. After north of 10 years as a chronic, recidivist customer...

    enmeshed in indecision

    I'm an old time toodle puffer. MTL, single coil stick in the mud. I have 4, yes 4 kanger subtanks that I love-- but these times, they are a changin'. The two or three brain cells that survived the 1970s tell me: why change anything? The paleolithic tanks you use work fine. Shut up. Fool. But...

    This place has been too quiet for too long!

    I wonder how many of the 2012 crew is still around? This place was hoppin back then. There have been many changes at ECF over the past few years but I reckon we might get away with turning the volume up a little bit. Lets see, what sort of relevant subject might escape summary deletion? Ah, I...

    A quick TFV4 Mini question if I may...

    I got a TFV4 Mini delivered today and the rebuildable atty section comes pre-built with a Clapton coil and is labelled TF-RCA. (4 screw single coil) Anybody ever used this head for TC using titanium instead? It looks very similar to the Subtank mini RBA which works quite well with Ti. I gotta...

    Is this how a decently built, used Ti coil should look?

    This coil lasted over 100 hours and was actually still vaping well enough, but I am hoping you folks could cast a critical eye upon it and render your harshest judgement. It was one of my first attempts and had been abused a bit before I grew a brain cell and set the device properly. The bottom...

    Choices for good TC capable RTAs

    I was hoping you peeps might help me narrow down the choices for a good RTA that works well in TC mode. I have a couple Kayfuns I have been using with good results using Kanthal -- namely a Tobeco V4, EHPro V3.1 and my favourite the EHPro Lite Plus V2. I have found the LP V2 is not really up to...

    HCigar sales in Canuckville

    Hiya folks. It's been a while since I strayed into this venerable place and I hope you are all well and truly sated. I am hoping one of you might enlighten me as to where a fella might find a vendor who sells HCigar RTAs -- specifically the glass tank stuff? I found a site called Vape Triad but...

    Dave... My mind is going... I can feel it...

    If it weren't for the supporting member notice I would have not even thought of this, but it was my 1-year-free date back on the 12th. That I forgot is testament to how completely free I am from those dreaded death stix. I have truly had zero urge to spark one up from day one. I guess I am a...

    A little fishing tale (Or, what to do after drowning your Provari)

    I am home for a break from my work and decided to go fishing and I wound up dropping my Provari V2 into the lake... But after retrieving it I removed the battery and let it sit in the sun for a while until the moisture appeared to be fully evaporated. On the first attempt to fire it up I...

    Lookie what came in the mail today

    There she stands, naked before you. My first ever squonk led to a minor Exxon Valdes, but since the clean-up it has been vaping bliss. Just a little squonk will do ya.

    The Trustfire charger on DC

    I see there is a port for connecting the Trustfire charger to DC. I also see that it requires 12v @ 500 mA, but figger there is no reason that it can't simply be plugged directly into the lighter socket in the car. The charge system is 12v so it matches the input and I already have the correct...

    Vaporgeek off-line?

    Anybody hear if VG is doing site maintenance, or have they gone poof? I haven't been able to bring up their site at all. http://www.vaporgeek.com/ I hope we haven't lost a supplier out here on the fringe.

    Happy Flag Day Canada!

    I almost forgot what day it is. Run it up the flag-pole and see who salutes.

    A suitable alternative to an good friend?

    Wondering what other flavs of good tabacky mix are around that are more like flavoured cigars or pipe mix than traditional "cig" taste? You don't have to name a supp, just name the flavour and I'll find it. I am yet to try the RY4 and have a sample rollin in on the next steamer, but am getting...

    KSD eGo VV 900mah Pass-through "arcing"?

    I have a strange issue with a pair of KSD eGo VV 900mah pass-through devices that repeatedly cut-out when fully charged. I have learned that a carto can "crackle" and 'pop' a bit while atomizing, but this seems to go beyond that sometimes. Occasionally the unit will let out a sharp "snap"...

    Live and learn?

    I arrived to this site a few weeks ago, full of pith and vinegar, and made claims here that I now see have been soundly contradicted by experts in the field of Li-ion batts. All I can say is; who knew? I sure didn't, and I just last year attended a service seminar with my mechs that delved...
