True enough we shall see. I know folks who have been vaping ten years and feel better then ever!

Time will Tell.

And I'm like you. I know people who have been vaping for a Long Time and Do Not feel many Adverse Effects.

Albeit, most of them have Not been vaping the ml's/day that has become the New Normal in the Last 2 Years or so.

This is what concerns me. Nicotine appears to be linked to the formation of podosome rosettes in cardiovascular tissues. Podosome rosettes are sort of like stalactites (those icicle-like rock formations in caves) which cause plaque build up in those tissues. This plaque build up is a well-known heart disease called atherosclerosis, hence my concern with the link between nicotine and heart disease. This implication would apply to nicotine patches/lozenges as well, not just e-cigs.

My general stance is that too much of anything can be bad for you. I feel that this is especially true for ingesting things that our bodies have not naturally evolved to ingest, particularly when it's done repeatedly and over long periods of time. As a result, I'm just as concerned of the FDA-approved flavorings as I am of the nicotine itself, since inhaling substances is not the same as digesting them.

[edit]
On a side note, I do feel healthier since having switched from cigs to e-cigs. Coughing has been reduced significantly, I don't get that "morning flem" in the shower like I used to, and don't get as winded when walking up flights of stairs, jogging, etc. There has got to be health benefits to not inhaling all of that carcinogenic crap found in tobacco cigarettes, I'm just a little dubious about long-term vaping not having any sort of health repercussions.

Hi guys been vaping for four weeks now and I had told myself I would not buy multiple tanks lol... That didn't last long I have the cleito and the crown. Not to impressed by the cleito thinking of maybe buying the rafale? Any thoughts on this tank? Or feedback? Anyhow specially on the weekends I feel like in vaping all the time although I'm only going through 3-4 tanks a day 4ml each tank. 4 weeks I figured I would of not been vaping as much but I really do enjoy it at least
I'm not smoking and My throat doesn't hurt or no headaches I just sometimes worry that I'm vaping too much lol!
Build ur own, get the aromamizer supreme rdta

No doubt something's wrong with me! 16ml would get thru 5-6 days of constant vaping.
Its more than thr number of ml.

Most people sub ohm, and that guzzles thr juicd. Some vape at very high wattages.

If i used .25 ohm coils and vaped at 80-100 watts, i woulf probably use 15+ mls a day.

The juice in my Kayfun monster mini.

I have a .86 ohm coil, abd the best flavor comes through at 8-10 watts. My little kayfun holds 2.5 ml and lasts me 5-6 hours.

Fortunately my work doesn't interfere with my vape. My office is behind the wheel of a semi. I'm a low power Vaper. Egos, Evods and Sigelei ZMax all running around 3.5+-volts 2.4 ohm. No interest up(?)grading. Just traded a TC rig for a bucket load of new2me ProTanks and really enjoying the PT1.
Pro tanks are good; but think PT2 AND Aero were best of bunch.

I vape a Kayfun monster mini with a .86 ohm coil at 8 watts 2.67 volts.

Too right

I rarely build new coils only when there in need I rewick once per week maybe longer as long as the coil is glowing nicely and hasn't been deformed wicking is the only duty required
Absolutely. I only rewick as needed. I Can dry butn and rewick almost as fast as i cs unscrew a Coil head and install another.

I think the best thing I see in this thread is that the people in here have a LOT of variation in their vaping style. Seems the entire spectrum from low to high wattage vaping is present. It just shows that whatever works for you is perfect. I tend to vape between 12 and 18 ml a day on Kayfuns and that works for me. I truly believe that it is safer than smoking, but I don't believe it is totally safe.

I heard that nicotine is found naturally in fruits and vegetables, albeit, I'm sure in low levels, but not sure how true it is

Right now I only go through maybe 4-6ml a day (of 18mg nic) because I'm using a tiny 808 pen vape. I have a sub ohm box on order, but am planning on keeping the power down to minimize juice consumption. Plus I'm sure I'll be reducing the nic content that goes in that mod, as I'm sure 18mg out of that is going to have way more punch than what I get out of the pen.

Although I said I feel like I'm always vaping the most I've been through is 4 4 ml tanks in a day. On another tread lots of people were laughing at how small of a quantity it is. Weekdays I work 8 hours a day only vape in two fifteen minute breaks and at lunch. Then when. I drive to the gym and I'm at the gym at least two three hours a night training myself and a client. Then when I get home I'll vape as well.

It's rare to come across someone who is so happy with what they have that they've no need or desire to upgrade.

Thank You!!! for not telling me what I'm missing or what I've just GOT to try! I'm havin a BLAST with my retro gear. Exploring the dead threads in the "Tips and Tricks" forum. Finding forgotten wicking materials and methods. Ways to supercharge my Evod tanks. It's honestly never ending excitement for me. I haven't gotten this much enjoyment from a hobby since I was a kid putting together my model cars, planes and ships.

Don't think the rafale is much of a tank hasn't been as popular as the crown

If you want a great performance great tasting tank I suggest the herakles plus it's my favourite sub ohm tank to date

Or go down the rta route
The herakles plus is nice. More airy than crown more control (juice flow, top airflow that actually hits your coils from top). I like the aesthetics of it as well. Flavor on par.

2 cons for me.
1. It's a wet tank. Doesn't leak a lot but whenever u top fill even with everything closed you're going to need a napkin to wipe off the bottom airflow. This is with their power mode coil (0.4 I think)

2. Only 2 coil options and no rba section (last I checked).



I go through maybe 6-12 ml a day. Mostly sub ohm. My only MTL setup is kayfun lite plus. I enjoy it. Different kind of variation. With RTA, tanks I usually always use power mode at around 35-45 watts. My only RDA I can do 75 but it's prob bc of the Clapton build. My MTL I do abou 12-15W
