Thanks everyone. 62 minutes doesn't seem like a lot to spread out thru the day.

One more question in this thread I have. Where can I buy juice that has AG instead of PG in it? I read that PG is not good for cats and I have cats. The vape shop around the corner from where I live mixes to order and I can get AG juice there, but is there any online venders that use a AG mix?

62 minutes x 60 seconds = 3,720 seconds. If you do a 3 second vape, that's 1,240 vapes. A 3 second vape is a pretty large vape. With my Subtank with the 0.5 ohm coil, I don't vape for more than 2 seconds at a time. Any more and I start choking and coughing up a lung.

Did you mean VG? Ejuice is made from a blend of PG and VG. Here is some information on propylene glycol and cats.

I don't think you need to worry about vaping around your cats. You might not want to let your cat drink your ejuice though.

The iTaste MVP V3.0 is also a nice high capacity battery, probably larger than the iStick 50 though.

The MVP 3.0 has a 3800 mah battery as opposed to the iStick 50's 4400 mah battery, and the MVP 3.0 only goes to 30 watts, versus the 50 watts in the iStick 50 and it is much larger too.

Probably some but none that I've come across.
its just Vg with distilled water added to it.

I looked and couldn't find any online venders with AG. And yes I know the AG is with distilled water. You would think more places would carry AG for people who have allergies to PG, or like me who want to keep there cats safe...just incase...I don't want to take the risk using PG.

The second link did not work. I have tried to find answers on the PG and cats in vaping, but haven't found anything that says it is completely safe. I'd rather not take the chance. You can buy ejuice that has AG instead of PG in it, but hard to find.

Basically the second link said that the amount of PG your cat would be exposed to from second hand vapor would not be high enough to harm them. A study that showed an increase in the Heinz bodies of 28 percent required feeding the cat 1.6 grams per kg of body weight daily for 5 weeks. So if you have a 9 pound cat, they would need to ingest over 6 grams of PG on a daily basis for five weeks to get the same increase. 1 ml of liquid roughly translates to 1g, so if you have a 50/50 mix, they would have to drink 12 ml of juice a day to get 6 grams of liquid PG. I don't know how much liquid in ejuice translates to the second hand vapor.

Ok...I read that a few weeks back...but I'm still skeptical and want to keep my kitties safe, and since there is the AG option, I want to go that route.

How did you put your daily stop smoking banner as a signature? I can't figure it out.

Click on my banner and it will take you to the website. Enter your info and then click "Create Banner" to generate the signature for you. Just need to then copy the banner text into your signature (click Settings on top of this page, then click Edit Signature from My Settings).

Nope...still not there, oh well...it can wait.

So I've been checking out all the posts and the dangers of these batteries. Now I've scared myself with having them. Maybe I should forget about using the mod I bought and just stick with the spinners...how dangerous are they? And how are you suppose to charge batteries and be awake when they take so long to charge and you have to work? I was charging my spinners while I slept at night. I think I'm on too much information overload right now.

While these batteries can be dangerous if one is careless with them, any good charger will have overcharge protection built into it that will automatically cut off charging when the battery is fully charged, and also switch into trickle charge mode when it is getting close to being fully charged. Is this stuff 100% foolproof? No. But then there is no guarantees that your car's brakes aren't going to fail while you're driving to work tomorrow either, but that isn't going to stop you from getting behind the wheel.

So if you can't put these Mods in your purse, then how are you to carry them and stow them away while at work? And what are good chargers for the Efest IMR 18650 Li-Mn batteries. They sold me a Li-ion Universal Charger Model HZS-002 Output 4.2v/600mA.

While the battery is in your mod, it's fine to put it in your purse. The risk is putting a loose battery in your purse, where it could flop around and possibly come into contact with some loose change or your keys. If the battery touches something metal, it could short out. If you have to carry a loose battery with you, make sure you have it in a plastic battery case. They sell for maybe one or two dollars each.

Doing a search here for your charger model number, this thread pops up.

Sounds like you may want to invest in a better charger. I just ordered a Xtar VP2 based on reviews.
