    Things I learned at VapeMania 14

    On Saturday we drove to Winston-Salem to attend VapeMania 14. This was the first vape meet we have ever attended, and we had a great time. We did learn a few things, though, and I thought I would share in case anyone else is going to their first one. 1. Take a dripper if you have one. There...

    "Vape" makes the Oxford Dictionary

    'Vape', 'Binge-Watch' Added to Oxford Dictionaries - ABC News Well, vaping is officially a "thing" now I suppose. Not sure how I feel about "listicle" though. Ewww.

    Boone or other NW mountain vapers or shops

    Mitchell county here. Any other vapers from NW NC mountains? And are there any vape shops in Boone? I've never seen any listed. Surely with App State there must be at least one shop.

    What the heck is this thing? In my madvapes mystery bag

    Two of theses came in a madvapes mystery bag. I have no idea what they are. I thought they might be tasting tips, but they are too small to fit in any of my tips. They are red soft plastic, conical, with the big end totally open and the smaller end has a small hole. Sorry for the dark...

    Minimum services / supplies a B&M should provide?

    A bit of a rant, and a related question. I visited a new vape store that shall remain nameless. It has been open about a month. The guy behind the counter was nice enough, and I enjoyed talking to him. He only had some rather mediocre juice and a bunch of Ego type batteries for sale. Not...

    Adjust squape 510 connection?

    Just got a squape clone, and it seems to work great on my zmax mini. It isn't recognized on my MVP though. I put a 510 to 510 connector in the squape and it worked in the MVP (but looks terrible) Can I adjust the 510 connection on the squape by turning the flat head screw on the bottom? I've...

    How do you tell PMMA from Pyrex?

    This may be a dumb question but... How do you tell PMMA from Pyrex? I was at a B&M shop the other day, looking at tank that I thought normally came with Pyrex, but the salesman (who I trust) said it was PMMA. Of course, that was a guy I trust. But what happens with a guy that I don't trust...

    Protank head rebuild: meter says OK, MVP says NON

    I've been working on rebuilding heads for my protank 2's. I've been able to build quite a few, and they work pretty well. However, my heads are very hit and miss. I usually have to build 4 or 5 before I get one that is recognized by my MVP. On almost all of them my meter (a tobeco 510 ohm...

    Edible Mist Machine? I thought adults didn't like flavors

    Article about the Edible Mist Machine at HuffPo I wonder what that mist is made of? Is it in anti-freeze? Of course, adults don't like flavors. Not even the "200 delicious flavors of mist" this thing can produce.

    The topper I want. Does it exist?

    I've recently moved from pro tanks to a kayfun lite clone. Love it! The only thing missing is a glass tank since I do vape many potential tank crackers. I can (and do) use the full stainless tank, but a glass window would be oh so nice. There are some Pyrex kits for the kayfun but none are...

    My first day with a Kayfun Lite - impressions

    Yesterday was my first day with my new EHPRO Kayfun Lite+ v2. It is my first ever Kayfun, but after reading so much about them on this forum, I had to try one. Until today I had used the Protank 2. I thought I would share my first day impressions in case anyone else is thinking of making the...

    Uno Vapor?

    Just visited a new vape shop, and all the products including the juice and devices were branded "Uno Vapor". I've never heard of this company, but I have to admit, I am a bit wary of them. There doesn't seem to be much information online about them. Does anybody have any experience with them...

    The effect of resistance?

    The question: All other things being equal, does the resistance of a coil make a difference? Assuming I use the same watts setting on a variable wattage device? How? Does one have better flavor or more vapor than the other? Does one use the battery up faster? The background: I've started to...

    Your recipe for "Harkin Juice"?

    After watching the Senate e-cig hearings yesterday, my wife and I needed to blow off some steam. We both started mixing something we called "Harkin Juice" (in our minds) and it seemed to relieve the stress a bit. Our formula: 1 part Citrus-flavored Metamucil 1 part scent of Ben-Gay 1 part...

    Questions about rebuilding pro tank coils

    I have finally started to rebuild my own heads for my ProTanks and Evods. A couple of questions: 1) I have a couple of rebuilt heads that I made with 32ga Kanthal and cotton (from organic cotton balls). My multimeter puts these heads at about 2.4 ohms. My MVP 2 readings fluctuate between 2.0...

    Frustrated with leaking Protank 2

    I'm having trouble with my new Protank 2 leaking onto the battery. The first time I used it, I got a pretty good vape off it (although it leaked a bit too then), but since I get no vapor and nothing but leaks into the battery. I've used three different heads with it, including one head from an...

    What's your sneaky device?

    In some places I have to have a quick puff in the restroom instead of out in the open. It isn't easy to unpack a big battery and carry it with you to the restroom, so I sometimes carry a stick battery or similar in my pocket all day for those quick and sneaky ones. Do you have a "sneaky"...
