eGo ONE tank series – CLR coil

[Shawn Hoefer]

gerry, SO glad you brought this up (and to light). Once again, I often feel like odd man/woman out. I see and read and hear of so many people who seem to STRIVE to lower their nic, and seem to think that there's a badge in store for going zero.

I personally think nic is an awesome little drug, fairly innocuous, and one I very much wish to continue. I have no desire to keep lowering it, or to eventually get off nic entirely.

Especially in light of all the evidence that it can be so beneficial to us. In addition to the evidence so far, that indicates it may offset Alzheimer's disease, there is also substantial science on its effect against Parkinson's.

Nicotine and Parkinson’s disease; implications for therapy

I believe there are other studies (that I don't have handy right now) that are indicative of its benefit for even more of the unwanted and treacherous dis-eases.

I know I won't win any popularity contests for saying this, but again, thank you for mentioning it. Food for thought.

First off, I posted justvthe quote in error... oops...

I agree Kat. I have no intentions of giving up Nic or Caffeine. That said, I have reduced from 24 to 0, 3, 6 depending on what I am vaping. My tootlers get 6, my daily drivers get 3, and my cloud generators get 0 or 3.

When I started vaping, I suffered through a week of migraines due, it turns out, to using too high a Nic... in fact, it was reaearching that symptom that led me to ECF. Now, I know my limits and track things pretty close...

Understood, Shawn! Totally. There may very well be reasons some opt for lower mg. strengths (cost of buying and storing nic for the long run, using high wattage devices that call for low nic, using nic strengths inappropriate to what the individual body craves, etc.).

What I see often tho, is a sort of badge of pride and a sort of trend to vie for a place in the low or no nic hall of fame. It's another of the trends I see here on ECF, and it fascinates me.

I bought an Amor Plus for the same reasons puf did. I own 1 authentic STM (came with a Subox mini kit that I got a good deal on), 1 Fasttech STM clone that's top fill and 1 Lemo 2. All are unused in my vapocalypse box.

I don't worry about nicotine either. I used to believe it was super addictive but I now think it's the thousands of chemicals, natural and added by tobacco companies, that cause the dependency.

I'm hoping the Alzheimer's doesn't get me but you never know. It's very sad to watch someone deteriorate from it's effects.

Does anybody know if these insulation rings will fit the eGo One tank line?

$2.25 Rubber Insulation Rings for eGo Batteries (50-Pack) 50-pack - grey at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I poked a hole in one last night and I can see that somewhere down the road I'm gonna need some extra replacement insulators. I was smart and saved a lot of my old used CL's and stripped them for parts but since I plan on using these for a long time this issue will eventually come up.

Those are for the center pin where the tank screws on to the 510 connector. I bought a pack a year or so ago for my 510s that have fixed center pins, just in case.

Yeah I thought they didn't look right. Know of anywhere to buy them? In China I mean, not the US. Doesn't matter what I try and order from the US, shipping is always $10 or more (even for a $3 item).

Nicotine and Parkinson’s disease; implications for therapy

My good friend and neighbor was diagnosed with Parkinson's just a few months ago! At one of her neurologist's visits, the PA asked N if she smoked. She replied......no, but I vape.........the PA told her on the QT not to let the doctor know she told N, but do NOT quit because of the science and studies done on nic to thwart Parkinson's.

I've witnessed N when she is having a bad day and seems to be out of control.......she takes a few drags off her PV, and almost immediately, the symptoms decrease.......not totally eliminated, but definitely a marked decrease. Oh, and she's at 18 mg with no intention of going lower.......

Yep, she put another order in![/QUOTE][/QUOTE]

If you decide to get the Subtank Mini be sure to watch a video on how to coil and wick the rba......This one too is so easy.

I'm not in the market for this tank and I know many people dont like him but I watched the vid because this guy cracks me up.

Once I started down the subohm path, it was either reduce the nic or make myself sick. Now I find myself having to completely eliminate nic due to requirements for medical insurance at work. I have to take a cotinine blood test. If it's positive for nicotine, I'll have to pay a $60 surcharge monthly. For me, it's really not worth paying. I need to reduce my nicotine use to 0 for 2 weeks in order to test negative on this test. If I can go 2 weeks with no nic, there's no point to vaping.

 

[Bea-FL]

I just realized that although I won't use the two coils that come with the Armor, they do have some parts that I can use on the CLR's such as the o-ring, insulator, and the metal pin if I ever need an extra.

If you find these three parts please post the links.

gerry, SO glad you brought this up (and to light). Once again, I often feel like odd man/woman out. I see and read and hear of so many people who seem to STRIVE to lower their nic, and seem to think that there's a badge in store for going zero.

Kat I too am glad this topic has come up. And I am particularly glad YOU posted the comments that you did. You are one of a handful of members in these forums that many people, especially new vapers, look up to for advice on all things vaping. You are definitely NOT the odd man out. There are many of us who feel the way you do, even if they dont say much.

I wonder if many of these people might be getting caught up in the "I need to get to really low or zero nic" mode of thinking because that is what they perceive a vaper's optimum goal to be, based on comments they read.

If that is what's happening, thank you again for bringing up the topic because these vapers need to know it's ok to stay at THEIR comfort level of mgs…if it keeps them off cigs. And, that there isnt one BEST mg level that fits all.

I spent a bit of time in decision mode last nite and today..... thinking about the little Amor tanks. I hesitated, and tonite I think that was a good decision on my part. I've used (and still do use one) acrylic frosted tanks. They BUG me. So why I even considered the 20 bucks on a couple of the Amor's sort of surprises me.

In the end, I opted for no. I don't care for the look, the feel, or the inevitable yucky condensation that's uber visible. I appreciate your input, and yours too, @FranC.
This week.

yepper, don't think you are missin anything big...
I THOUGHT the frosted might look cool - not really...
I wanted one mostly because well, it's a different Joyetech family piece (Wismec)

but without the sentimental attachments, the eggroll v2 is a better deal...

[leftyandsparky]

I have a question.... watched videos about the rebuild on the STM
And some are saying it's not great with high vg. I do 100% vg, am I going to have problems when I go to rebuild?

Thanks peeps!!!
I will be getting more v2 next month.

But, But,,,
I wanted a badge!!!

One that says "take away my nicotine at your own risk "

Just over the past 6 months I've converted from 1.8 - 2.4 ohm to .5 - .7 ohm and reduced the nic level in my Jooce accordingly.
Of course I've quadrupled or quintupled my jooce consumption. While I'm certainly no math professor it's not difficult to understand that I've lowered my nic consumption very little if at all. Just makes me smile when I see folks waving their badge of 3mg on a .125 build and pumping 30ml a day thru it.
On the other hand, I'm most likely gonna go back to above ohm. I just can't stand having a cabinet full of perfectly good but useless devices that can't fire sub.

Not that I have any experience with the STM but you can add a little distilled water to your juice. I think rayon wicks thick juice better also.

I also seem to think it is ODD people want to get off of NIC
is it the bad rap from cigarettes, is it the media, maybe the Moon...

my sister is obsessed with getting to ZERO and then her look of shock when I tell her
" I have NO intention to leave NIC " - NIC has a calming effect to me (a peaceful easy feelin) ♪

I also don't follow the game plan of LOWER the NIC / Raise the TEMP
1%-3% NIC @ 150 watts just doesn't compute to me...

YEP ! me and NIC are in it for the Long haul...

There are two or three versions of the RBA. The first version was awful at wicking. The final version - has big wicking holes on the sides of the barrel - works ok. Get that and you'll likely be fine...

I use 100% VG (80% at the least) and using the subtank hasn't been a problem for me...

Thank you! I was going to use rayon, I guess the cotton that comes with the subtank doesn't like vg
