Like, love, agree, winner... just awesome.Right. Me too. I love this place. Everything I know about vaping I learned here. I remember when I bought my first e-cig online (GreenSmoke) and quickly realized that I needed information. I found ECF and, well, never left. Thanks, @Oliver
Nobody was looking out for us and our safety--we had to do it ourselves. And we've been doing it ever since. In 2009, @Kate raised some questions about diacetyl, later confirmed by @Kurt (PhD in Chemistry) and @KFarsalinos (cardiologist), and @dougp925 started the epic thread about burning cartomizers. Kurt also warned us about risks associated with vaping eliquids containing cinnamaldehyde, oil based flavorings, eugenol, "organic" flavorings, and some questionable sweeteners. @Mooch tests batteries and lets us know which ones are safe to use so we don't kill ourselves; before Mooch, @Scottbee was a battery guru and tester here). We have discussed and criticized the use of crystalline silica as filler in certain coil heads (and now it's gone), iffy plastics used for tanks (gone or replaced with better plastics and glass), mod safety (believe it or not, some early mods were made without venting holes--now fixed). John Bellinger and Brandon Wolfe from EvoIv raised concerns about vaping at high temperatures, later confirmed by Kurt and tireless testing by @mikepetro .
Not to mention the fact that most (if not all) great improvements and inventions in vaping started on ECF and other vaping forums all over the world. Big Chinese manufacturers learn from our modders and incorporate their ideas into their products all the time. Everything we're using today was invented either on this forum (or similar forums in Germany, Greece, Russia, England, etc.) by fellow vapers who were not satisfied with the hardware they were using and were hell bent on creating that perfect vape.
So, since I'm feeling nostalgic, let me mention just a few of our great inventors--and thanks, guys, wherever you are today:
1. carto tanks: thanks and RIP, Billy-- @br5495 ;
2. better mods: @mik from Janty, eGo: Little Brother and Little Sister; @Trogg, Screwdriver; vv and vw--Evolv, Darwin; ProVape, ProVari;
3. fillerless clearomizers: @badkolo, @dannoman, Billy, Martinez;
4. RBAs: @raidy, Genisis; @imeothanasis--a greek modder; our Russian friends, Kayfun and ArcticFox;
5.TC--Evolv
Thank you @DVap and @radiokaos for the WTAs.
Oh, and thank you @mrdee3 for inventing the Clapton coil--while watching his friend playing guitar.
And lest we forget--behold a very early mod:
This grassroots innovation is what pisses authorities. For once they are not in control.
Worst effect of bans is that it will/might kill this continuous innovation.
Bingo! The nanny state control freaks can't stand the fact that they are not in control of the inmates. Their subjects are in charge and are having fun to boot. And not asking for permission or guidance. It pisses them off no end.
Is it scary that I have virtually all of those listed devices in my really ancient stashbox? LOL but Katya you left out an important one. The REO. Rob should not be forgotten in the list.Right. Me too. I love this place. Everything I know about vaping I learned here. I remember when I bought my first e-cig online (GreenSmoke) and quickly realized that I needed information.

I think CBP tape (or lack of it) will tell the story!
Me either. It's possible it was just plain lost, but we'll see!
I had one last week cross the country 3 times before crossing the state twice and arriving. I think USPS is practicing its holiday fubar early
I'm still waiting on all three of my FT orders. One is traveling around the country while two seem to be in limbo. The two just contain glass, squonk bottles, and coils. Nothing in my opinion for customs to take much interest in.
I have 4 FT orders out there somewhere and one more that was delayed because 2 of the items were out of stock, they emailed me today wanting to substitute one of the items, I said yes...
True and thanks for sharing, so much was happening in the early days and EFC was the leader. Thank you!Right. Me too. I love this place. Everything I know about vaping I learned here.

One FT order arrived, had drip tip adapters and tank glass and a couple glass drip tips in it. I have another one with KF 2019 tanks and adapters floating around.
I have a good stash of cartos and actually would be just fine with carto tanks if I had too use them and the tanks are so easy to make. I love the ones with the side fill screw, so easy! I even have a Sophia so can rebuild LOL! Never tried it tho but I wonder if Sophia was the very first rebuildable??
Make that 3 out there somewhere. I had one in the mailbox from yesterday (coils), plus 2 regulated squonkers from Everzon. Supposed to be getting 11 packs of Vaporesso GT CCELL 2 coils today (says out for delivery).
no I dont think so it was likely a RDA that way the sophia was somewhat late to the game (as was the diver). By the time the sophia hit the market there were already rebuildable squonk attys.
As always I have 5 outstanding. Seems like I get 4 outstanding orders and I order another because I am impatient.
