    I dont know what the problem with this thing is but every time I replace the coil it never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever fires!!!!!! I tried the premade coils and they give me nothing but trouble. This device will not fire anything less than 1.2 ohms according to the manual and I've...

    Any USA made clearomizers?

    I was wondering if there are any USA made clearomizers out there. Heck, are there any USA based companies that make anything e-cig part related? With China doing things like adding antifreeze to toothpaste and melomine to milk I often wonder what we're inhaling. This is supposed to be a...

    Virgin Vapor Throat Hit

    I've been wanting to switch over to VV because of their use of organic flavorings and their website states that their ratio of flavor is just a fraction of what other ejuice suppliers use. However, they don't rate their juices by throat hit so I was wondering what the general consensus was on...

    Co-op to test safety of top eliquids

    Has anyone ever organized an effort to get the top juices examined for safety? Do any juice vendors do this by default? If I was thinking of selling juices I'd make sure that they were as safe as possible to vape. I've done some DIY and I haven't been able to create a good vanilla using...

    Calculator that supports drops per ml for every ingredient?

    I've been using Scubabatdan's spreadsheet (v13) which is the latest version I could find and it's awesome because it allows you to set the drops per mil per ingredient like flavor, nic, vg, etc. I was looking at some online calculators which compute VG/PG ratios but only have a global setting...

    Where's all the throat hit?

    VapeBash and VapeFest passed thru Chicago this past weekend and I attended both and picked up lots of free samples and got lots of juices for very little cost. At the end of the day, Madvapes was selling their juices at 7 bottles for 5 bucks. I normally vape tobacco flavors and I have to say...

    Yo Ben, opinions on refrigeration?

    I love your juices right out of the mailbox and wanted to see if I could retain that flavor as long as possible (though I'll probably vape it all before it steeps:-), so I was wondering if you think it would be OK to store in fridge? Some vendors say it wouldn't do any harm and there was a write...

    TH tolerance?

    Is there such a thing as building TH tolerance with vaping? Trying to figure out if its my batteries, juice or throat. Sometimes I feel that TH isn't there with a juice that used to give great TH. I'm guessing that the batteries are the culprit here but I still wonder about tolerance to TH...

    Do pass-through's hit better?

    The guy at the brick and mortar store where I bought my Ego said that a pass-thru wasn't necessary on my first purchase (i was a new vaper) as it only allowed you to supply power to your Ego while charging. In other words, you're still hitting off the battery while its charging which implies...

    Getting the best taste

    I've tried an Ego-C and loved it for the first month and then tried a carto and got better flavor which I'm guessing is due to more heat. Thinking of moving to a VV device soon and was wondering what the best thing to attach to it is. I have a DCT too. Lately my juices have been tasting pretty...

    Tobacco flavors?

    Haven't tried Ms. T's yet and was wondering if her juices have any sort of tobacco flavors mixed in with the bakery flavors. Been meaning to try the sugar cookie but I've been disappointed with straight up sweet flavors in the past as there's hardly any substance and throat hit. I kept thinking...

    Refrigerating E-liquid OK?

    Does refrigerating e-liquid preserve how it tastes out of the bottle? I know some vendors say you should pop em in the fridge to prolong shelf-life and wanted to know if anyone has compared non-refrigerated vs refrigerated e-liquid. Going to get a new bottle of boba's next week and I like the...

    Boba-like base?

    After trying all the Halo sample pack flavors yesterday and being convinced that I was vaping Febreze, it made me appreciate Boba's Bounty and his Havana Gold. I'm not trying to replicate his recipe exactly, just want to be in the ballpark with regard to a base. I can then work from there. Does...

    Anyone reading the safety forums?

    I know we tend to get carried away in here discussing our favorite vapes on our quest to find that "all day favorite vape" but has anyone been keeping an eye on the safety forums? The safety of e-juice is one thing but what about things like e-juice sitting in a carto next to a blob of solder...

    DCT - should there be slush?

    Whenever I'm done filling a carto, the top of the filler looks slushy. I picked up my first DCT (SmokTech) and I put as many drops as it would hold and then placed it into the tank and filled it up. Its working fine but I'm noticing that the filler doesn't look wet on the top. I'm using Boba's...

    Extra Flavor?

    Would it be possible to get extra flavor added to my next order of BB? Reason I ask is that I'd like to use my Ego tanks more but compared to cartos I cant taste a damn thing. Certainly not the juices fault. Anyway, if this is an option, how would I got about requesting it? What are my options?

    Any Ego-C mods for better flavor?

    I love the convenience of the ego tanks but after trying a Boge LR carto, the taste I'm getting is night and day. A good tobacco on a carto tastes way better. If I put the same juice in a tank I literally can't taste anything unless I stop vaping for a few hours and eat a big meal or something...

    Nicotine quality?

    Should I be concerned about nicotine quality? I want to start getting into DIY and have no idea where to get my nicotine from. I can get low doses of naked 25MG nicotine in VG from a cignot brick and mortar store near my house but wanted to get a higher concentration. Making small batches with...

    RY4 - I dont get it

    I was super psyched to be one of the lucky ones to snag a 30mil of RY4 this time around. I usually don't order 30mil worth of anything unless I try it first but with all the rants and raves about this juice made me think it was a sure bet. Anyway, mail comes and I waste no time filling up a...

    Alcohol (Everclear) good or not?

    I've been using Everclear to clean my Ego-C attys because it evaporates pretty quick after a few blows into the atty but I at times I notice a change in taste. Not sure if the alcohol affects the coil so I was wondering what you all thought about using alcohol vs just hot water. I have my gunked...
