    What voltage drop would you consider acceptable?

    I am building a pure mech at this time and was wondering what level of voltage drop would you consider acceptable. The device will be constructed of brass, copper and other materials and I am considering building the 510 connector and switch from scratch.

    Just how long do these buggers last???

    I am rolling up to my 1 year anniversary and got to thinking about how long do eGos last. The first devices I got, almost a year ago, were a Lavatube and a couple of KSD eGos. When the eGo Twists and minis came out, I got a handful of those as well. I have also purchased other equipment but...

    Whacha think of these?

    So, I was in the workshop today, trying to finish a couple of small projects. Afterwards, I had a couple of small pieces of a colour experiment left over so I tried to make a few drip tip shapes in resin. I had been trying my hand at wood tips but have not come up with a finish that I am 100%...

    Do you need to adjust the flavour in juice for the cold weather?

    I see in the news that southern Manitoba got a light dusting of 30 odd cm of snow the other day. That is a sure sign that winter is fast approaching (or, as my son calls it, sweatshirt weather). This got me wondering about how flavours are all less intense in the cold. Do you DIY people add...

    What do you keep as emergency supplies?

    What do you keep on hand as a backup, emergency supply? Purchasing vaping supplies in Canada is almost exclusively an online experience. There are a few exceptions but certainly, not many. As a consequence, I try to keep supply levels on hand to ensure I am never in danger of running out. My...

    Anyone else have trouble with the Esco-E2/ E2-UVO?

    I've been liking this new tank but I kept getting dry hits. At first, it was great. Good flavour and a kinda funky alien look. Then, I started getting more and more dry hits after the first top up. I tried lots of tipping and twirling and that helped but chain vaping was not possible. I was...

    How much juice do you use?

    I was curious so, last week, I took one day to accurately measure what I use on an average day. I loaded up several Stardusts, because, that is what I use most days when I am working. I only used these for the entire day an at the end of the day, I refilled everything using syringes. I used a...

    When did I become such a cheapskate?

    I noticed this today when I was thinking about how to clean carto's and how long I can make a Boge last. The Boge thing was partly because I still have a few from an old batch and I read some posts about the new ones being of lesser quality. Anyways, in the old days, I would not think twice...

    possible new idea for vendors

    I've been reading a bunch of things all over this form and I always see the same questions from the new people about what is a good starting point. I also keep seeing questions about hardware where it may not be easy to justify the purchase without seeing it in action. All the Youtube reviews...

    Interesting experience vaping in public

    So, the other day, I was working, driving from one customer appointment to another when my BlackBerry goes nuts. It kept buzzing and buzzing. I saw that I was running a bit early for a change so I decided to pull over and do a few emails. I pulled off the main street onto a nice residential side...

    What tools do you use?

    I am fairly new to vaping but I have found a few tools that I keep using when I'm doing various tasks related to PV's such as filling, cleaning etc. What other tools do you have on hand? I have: - Spring hook for pulling things like those silicone seals in CE2's. TOOL METAL SPRING HOOK PULL 6"...

    Kanthal vs Nichrome

    I'm sure it's been asked but what are the main advantages of Kanthal wire over nichrome? I can see that Kanthal seems to have a slightly higher operating temperature then nichrome but it seems to be very much harder to find then ordinary nichrome. Yeah, I know there are a number of vendors on...

    Vaping and breathalyzer tests?

    With the arrival of the May 24 weekend, we can all welcome the start of Summer and the accompanying police long weekend blitzes. That got me thinking. Is there any danger of vaping causing problems with breathalyzer tests? Actually, I don't drink alcohol at all although, I do cook with it. I...

    Anyone know of a Canadian source for DIY parts?

    I kinda like to tinker with stuff and am thinking of trying to build a PV or two. Anyone know of a Canadian source for PV parts such as the 510 connectors and other PV spacific parts? I know that Madvapes has such things but I do like to buy domestic if at all possible.
