Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part 2

[mekc57]

Wow this has a lot more open draw. and puts out lots of vapor. No problems so far will turn it up soon. I like vaping around 8.2-8.4 Not a high power vapor. Have to go to town for a few will give you a report later. I take it these don't work on vacuum where you close the air slightly to get more juice right the juice is gravity fed. Right?

You shouldn't need more juice. The new design delivers plenty if the wick is right and it sounds like you have it working for you!

The P3 ohm cut off is .7 I beleive.

It is. I've found that higher resistance seems to provide more flavor, though ... And I'm not terribly interested in clouds (except when I'm sitting on the back porch, looking at them!). So probably, something in the 1.8 - 2.0 range is what I'm thinking. Safer!

I think it will be here on Weds or Thurs. Perhaps I'll head over to my local vape store for the first build

WOW, you old folks have been really busy tuday!

And you slept in today of all days.

Has anyone been having problems with ECF not taking you to the correct place when going to the first unread post?

This has been happening to me off and on for a few days. It'll take me to the middle of a post instead of the beginning. And, sometimes I'll see a post quoted that I hadn't seen before. So, I'll have to go back several post to find the spot that was REALLY the first unread post.

Provape is very into safety and the built in limits won't let you get into unsafe zones. It's the mech mods where most of the problems happen! Anywhere between 1.5 and 2 ohms are good to go.

I think you meant, "It's between some people's ears where most of the problems happen." I was just reading a post yesterday by a guy who has been on here for several months who was talking about what a great vape he was getting at .1 Ohms. He should definitely know better than that. There's no amount of quality engineering that can combat that type of willful ignorance. (Getting back off my soapbox, now).

The site has been doing really weird stuff, including crashing on me for 20 minutes or so today. It's latest thing is to take me to the middle of a page. If you look at the quote in this post, you will see a blue square with two arrow-type thingies in it. Click on that and it will take you to the quoted post.


Now El Whacko is taking me for a walk before the heavens open up again.

I know they can multiply really fast but I always thought that was because they saved energy by doing it lying down.

Thanks for the uplifting news. I'll turn on the TV news, thanks, if I need cheering up.

Warning - caution - notice - whatever

I'm off to the construction site to put up our new porch. I'll be back here to post a link when the paint on the steps is dry.

I'll ask Classy to close this one tomorrow morning. That should give time for any of you that want to 'move' a post(s) from here to the new porch.

When I link to the new post I encourage you to start using it for new topics. Also I think it would be fun to search up your intro post here and repost it on the front porch.

Anyway - off to work I go.

 

[Semiretired]

Were Ready and Rearing to go!!!

 

[2legsshrt]

Well Mek we must've done this right. I'm not up to my regular power yet but that is how I break them in I'm down a half a tank not a dry hit in the batch. I took an extra with me just in case but no need. Vapin like a wild man.

 

[2legsshrt]

I love this KF V4. Still love my KFL plus V2s Now I have every KF on a Provari I'm a happy camper don't have to look at any more for another year or so.

It is excellent news, but no one will listen. This was the sensational (and very tragic) story a couple of days ago. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...s-after-drinking-liquid-nicotine-9924229.html From the article:

Reported incidents of exposure to liquid nicotine have risen in the US from 271 in 2011 to 3,638 this year to 30 November. In a statement released on Friday, the American Association of Poison Control centers expressed concern that there are “currently no standards set in place that require child-proof packaging”.

But no one pays attention to this Laundry detergent pods are 'real risk' to poison kids - CNN.com And from this:

In the period of about a year, 17,230 children under the age of 6 have been accidentally poisoned by the packets, according to a new study in the journal Pediatrics. That's about one child every hour between March 2012 and April 2013. Of those cases, 4.4% of the children were hospitalized, and 7.5% experienced a "moderate or major medical outcome."

Yet today we’re back to the same old …. E-Cigs Appeal to Teens Who Otherwise Wouldn't Smoke, Study Says No mention if they are even using nic or not.

Anybody seen politicians, or anyone else, up in arms about laundry soap?


Should I break the links?

People have to be careful about "studies" and statistics, like what specific questions are asked and the choices for answers and how many people are asked etc. There was one report awhile ago about the huge number of calls coming into the poison control centers related to vaping juices. The total number of calls was included even if there was no problem, just concerns about possible problems. The statistics make it seem like 1/2 the kids in the U.S. were trying to drink the stuff. And along with the reports, there is no context. Sure kids could try to drink it (or eat cigarettes) if people leave it laying around, but they're also known to try to drink cotton candy or mango flavored vodka, or cleaning supplies, or medications.

OMG!! (No, not you, 0mg )

This part especially noteworthy:

“This study demonstrates exactly why e-cigarettes and vapor products have become so popular among smokers looking to quit. For smokers looking to quit, vaping is undeniably a viable option. Additionally, research continues to show that vaping is especially helpful for smokers who have tried and failed to quit multiple times with government-approved methods like the nicotine patch, gum, and lozenge. Genuine public health advocates should cheer this new study.

“We remain very concerned that the public health benefits of vaping could be squashed by improper and excessive FDA regulation. If approved, the FDA’s proposed deeming regulation would act as a de facto ban on over 99% of e-cigarette products currently available on the market. Dramatically decreasing product variety will hinder, not help, the FDA’s goal of reducing tobacco-related disease and death.

“We continue to call on House and Senate leadership to introduce a bill in 2015 that would substantially alter the FDA’s authority over e-cigarette products already on the market.”

Unfortunately, that quote is from the American Vaping Association. I did get through to the abstract for the actual study, so I have something to send the ND Quits folks this month. I try to confuse them with facts every month or so.

I'm glad your up and running in good stile! I hope I was of some help to you! Off to the new site.
Happy vaping
