    Mourning a hero

    I cannot begin to explain my feelings about the loss of Aaron Swartz. His battle is closely related to ours. His life - proof that we live in a neo-feudal corporate world, where knowledge is the new land, and its large owners crush rebellion with an iron fist. The new castles have paywalls...

    Legacy mysteriously stopped working

    This one is a little odd, I think. My Legacy stopped working. What?... What on Earth can "stop working" inside a Legacy??! That's my question, too... It doesn't fire at all with any carto / atty. Switch - measures ~0.03 Ohm across from the brass screw to the threads. Body - measures...

    Workplace banning e-cigs

    Hi, My workplace recently issued a clarification to the tobacco-free policy to explicitly include e-cigarettes. They state that the policy covers "all forms of tobacco use, including cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, cigars, pipes and smokeless tobacco". The policy also extends to hiring -...

    The iHybrid APV

    I received the iHybrid almost a week ago, and I have been using it exclusively since. I did pay for this product, but according to the manufacturer, the first 12 people who received the prototypes will also receive a production unit free of charge. The iHybrid is a Genisis (mesh/coil) hybrid...

    Anecdotal - my retinal blood vessels.

    This is a cross-post - hope I don't get banned :P This is my personal anectodal experience, so of little scientific value in itself, but I'm putting it out there anyway because I'm happy about it. I've had a little high blood pressure problem found last year at some point - nothing extreme...

    two quick questions

    Hi, sorry if it's been answered elsewhere - search is next to impossible. Is there a way to quickly go to a certain post in a thread knowing the post's number in that thread? Links to posts (showthread.php?p=####) use a different number - it seems a global post id. But what if I want to go to...

    Durable APV

    Hi, I'm looking for a tube APV that would excel in durability. I'm thinking it should be sturdy, with no components that will fail by nature (electronics, etc.). I'd like to take a large battery (18650 or above) and be able to use easily a Kick with that. So far I've been looking at the Legacy...

    Late comer to the Reo party - some questions

    I got a Reo on a whim, and I just love it. I paired it with a LR 306 and the vape and the bottom feeder experience are great (first bottom feeder as well). I have a few things to ask, though, and I hope you'll be kind enough to answer although they've probably been answered a few times...

    Kanthal wire / wick specs

    Hi, As usual old posts are difficult to search and they are closed, so here I am asking what is probably asked and answered a million times. What are the usual / recommended specs for kathal wire used in coils? - what is the difference between Kanthal A and D? - gauge (32, 34, other)? most...

    Carto killing DIY

    I'm having some issues with my DIY mixes - mostly I can't find any way to make multi-flavor juices taste good. But that's a whole different story... In any event, my juices seem to kill my cartos. They work great for the first load, and then something odd starts happening: the carto hisses...

    Apollo Redirect

    I'm not sure if this is just me (?!!) but every link I click within a post on this forum redirects to the site www(dot)apolloecigs(dot)com/?Click=17788 I can't seem to shake this in any of the browsers I try logged in or not....

    Genisis-style atomize with tank

    It sort of tells it all. I know there are people making these, but was wondering if there is a place to buy them - something that uses the Genisis design, but hopefully not the Line, but something with a little bigger tank? I understand you have to make your own wick and your own coil, but...

    OK... 3 months.

    This (sub)forum is impossible to find, but why not: I haven't had a cigarette in 3 months. Is this a big anniversary? Do I get a prize? It doesn't feel like anything special. I don't even know when exactly it was anymore. I've been vaping for this whole time, obviously, starting with one stray...

    Nicotine base - organoleptic properties?

    Hi, I have done my best to search, and in fact I found too many answers. What are the acceptable organoleptic properties of a 10% nicotine base. I mean color, smell, taste (?), etc. I think the warnings and notices would be much more meaningful to me with a clear and knowledgeable...

    Good bridgeless atty

    Newb starting up - help, please

    Hi, all I am trying to start up DYI-ing, and I am looking to have a decent set-up. I am not sure yet what kind of flavorings I will order, but I am looking for a "proof of concept" type of activity first - make sure I can mix up a safe and vapeable e-liquid, and then I can start ordering tons...

    Atty resistance drop

    This is a quick question - is it expected for the atty resistance to suddenly drop? What would cause that? I have an atomizer that was rated at 3.0 Ohm, metered 3.0 Ohm on my ProVari and behaved like one. After a few days, suddenly I got E1 error as I was vaping around 5 V. I checked the...

    'Safe for all juices' tanks

    Hi, I was wondering what tanks are safe for all juices. I've seen the ""Who's Your Daddy" version, and I'm thinking maybe there are other out there? I'm not sure why it's so difficult to find an inert tubing material, but I am clueless in this field. Are there any cheaper / simpler tanks made...

    Boba's - am I the only one who doesn't get it?

    I've tried Boba's Bounty for the first time today. I let it steep for 3-4 days without touching it. In the meantime I tried the Gorilla Juice and I really liked it. Now Boba's... I tried to drip it at first, and I discovered that the bottle has more like a pour spout than a dripper :( Big...
