OK i found the biggest negative of the Russian 91%... went through a 10ml bottle in under 3 days. Really need to stock up on a couple of bottles of Cell Block 34 and quit dinking around sampling various juices.

I go through 10 ml in 2 days using regular BDC tanks. I'd hate to think what I would go through with that. I was eying the Kayfun Lites when I was window shopping online last night. Might pull the trigger on a rebuildable here soon. Would they work well on a mechanical mod with a 18350 battery and no VV/VW?

I had an interesting, and very gratifying experience this morning when I woke up, my 6th day smoke-free: I was NOT wheezing! Normally, I'm grabbing that inhaler even before my eyes are open, because my chest sounds like a water-hookah and feels like I huffed up a sack of cement... BUT NOT TODAY!!!

:rickroll:

Pretty soon, I'll be able to dance just like that guy!! :D

absolutely... just need to know the amp limit of your battery most IMR 18350's are 6.4 amps so i wouldnt go any lower than .7ohms probably keep it around 1ohm to be safer. I dont use any vv/vw (i.e., kick) on my mechs... i have APVs for that. :)

That was one of my favorite days too. Although I don't use an inhaler. :)

Here is a pretty good chart on battery stuff...there are some errors on the table so i would always check your battery but its a handy reference.

Battery mAh & C Rating = amp Calculator

Great chart! Thanks!! So, as long as my coils a 1 ohm or better, I'm good. Yes? I raised from .7 to 1 to be safer. I also notice the Trustfire batteries ( which I don't have ) have a rating of 1.1 ohms. ( Barring a direct short do to operator error of course!!!:D)

I might... ;) I used to love to dance; in my very-early 20s when I was a waitress, I did aerobic dancing just to keep my energy levels high for work, so my legs didn't feel heavy halfway thru a shift. But when I was 24 I was diagnosed with adult-onset asthma, and after that, every single time I tried to dance, I got the most awful pains in my chest. So pretty soon I just stopped trying, though dancing is the most wonderful expression of joy. I may not be there yet, but I *feel* like dancing with joy!

As a general rule of thumb, dont use any batteries with the word fire in them. They are typically flashlight batteries. You want high drain IMR type batteries. This is the link to enlightment on batteries...

A lot of posts on here recently about rebuilding. I posted these on another thread but thought they may help some of new builders here. This is a soft sided portable hard drive case. It contains wire snips, sewing scissors, 2 5/64 drill bits, 4 tweezers, wick, screw drivers, cotton, multi- tool, lighter, and a bunch of 6" kanthal in various gauges.

I see some are saying they were required to change both their email address and password in conjunction with the new server for the e-cigarette forum?

I was required to change only my password. However, at the moment, I have two Google Chrome windows open with two different forum threads. In the other thread (the back porch), my new password was just rejected and only my old password would work. In this thread, only my new password works. WTH?

I was getting a lot of strange problems but I think I got all of them fixed by deleting browsing history, cache, and cookies and signing in again.

Good info, I'll add that instead of a lighter you can buy rechargeable torch
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008T9KIQ0/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I keep this tiny one in my vape box. I only say this because lighters can get hot while torching. It is about the same size as a lighter.

Here's plenty to look through if you like bigger hmm torches

Amazon.com: butane torch


It's in the lower right compartment so you can see the size

Thank heaven there's a section for us oldsters, especially ones with health problems. That description fits me to a T. ---1 1/2 pks a day for 46 yrs and after I year on vaping, 1 year vacationing from vaping and finally back to vaping, I'm down to 5-7 cigs a day. Before anyone says anything, I realize that I haven't quit but it's been extremely difficult for many reasons, but I'm trying.
