    Vaping N Sleep

    I was a very heavy smoker. When I started gaping with 24mg in an old style cartomizer, I slept fine. However, after a couple of months that was too much nic and it did cause sleeplessness so I began to cut back. I also read at the time that when your liver stops processing all of the chemicals...

    What was your first device?

    Easy question because I framed it and mounted it on the wall labeled with my quit date of August 13, 2012. A sleek silver SmokeLessImage Volt cigalike with a black cartomizer.

    Wire talk

    As a MTL low watt vaper I just do a simple 1.8 ohm open coil with 30ga wire. I want quick ramp up with low wattage. Old guy with COPD and can't do DL with big clouds. Definitely a KISS kind of guy.

    Problems switching from analogs to vaping

    Everyone is different. I was a lucky one who quit from a 3 pad habit in 3 days. It was the first morning smoke that was hardest. While a cigarette satisfied me in a few minutes, I had to vape for 45 minutes before I was satisfied. That took gutting thru it. On the other hand, my wife took 2-3...

    How long is the e-cigarette that has been used for the longest time?

    I could open a vaper museum with the stuff in my closet. There are still some kr808ds and cartos in there somewhere.

    What is the biggest vaping change you have experienced?

    The biggest change for me was being able to smell again. BTW, the world smells different than I remember it from 1970 and I want to know who is responsible.

    Tank size

    I'm just an old longtime vaper with old tanks. Kayfuns, protanks, evods, T3s and similar. My biggest is an old vision victory that uses protank coils...holds 5 mil. I would buy more of those if they still made them. I vape unflavored and have about 20 tanks going, I only stop to refill every 2...

    Kangertech help?

    Make sure that the atomizer is making contact with the battery. The coil should be screwed all the way it and has to make contact with the bottom of the tank and then the tank has to make contact with the positive pin in the mod. I don't remember if this mod says "no atomizer" when it does not...

    Vg problems, short of breathe

    I'm an old guy with COPD. Too much VG gives me what is sometimes called "heavy lung" which is a a phlegm thing. I have to stick to higher PG (80/20 or 70/30). For the same reason, I have to stick to older MTL devices that don't put out too much vapor.

    GF is trying to stop smoking

    I went to Vape Cloud UK and their starter kits are name brand stuff. Innokin, Smok and Aspire. A casual smoker would likely be better off with what we call MTL (mouth-to-lung) style vaping. That would mean lower wattage and less airflow. If the mod (the battery part) allows it, turn the wattage...

    1.8 vs 0.6-What’s the difference?

    I don't know about this particular brand but often the .6 coil will have a larger hole for air flow while the 1.8 will be more narrow for a tighter draw. That may or may not be the case with these. The .6 ohm likely has thicker wire which will require more wattage to ramp up in the same amount...

    Mods/ Tanks for High VG that work for MTL

    If you can find a kanger protank 2, it uses the same coil but holds 2 1/2 mils. I think they are discontinued now, but there has to be a few left out there. Fasttech has some clones.

    Aspire Nautilus 2 flooded coil upon refill

    With flooding, I often Vape it upside down for a few draws (yes, you will likely get liquid in your mouth). This burns off excess liquid but does not allow more to get into the wick. You can also simulate the same thing by blowing thru the bottom airholes as you fire it (while upside down).

    Old lady needs new easy setup recommendations

    The GBC can use Kanger T3 coils. For that style of device Kanger Evods or T3 or a Kanger Protank II (fill size or mini) would be very similar and work on an ego pen-style.

    Describe the difference in feel between vaping and smoking

    Since I started long ago on a cig-sized, with MTL and high nictotine I never found much difference between smoking and vaping, especially once I found that unflavored liquid was the most like smoking. The biggest difference for me was the slower absorption of nicotine. Once I was learned to wait...

    How long did you watch ECF before you sign up?

    Back in 2012, I got a pop-up ad for some ecig (can't remember the brand) and was actively trying to quit smoking after 40+ years. I was intrigued and during research I wound up here. A day later I ordered my first kit (a volt cigalike from SmokeLessImage) on recommendations from the folks on ECF...

    Still new to vaping.

    I went through 2 such problems with sleeping. First, I was realy excited about how well vaping was working for me as a 40+ year heavy smoker, so excited that I had problem sleeping, and I had a lot more energy and less breathing problems so wasn't as tired at night. (In addition, my wife said I...
