All the above, adding that once the cap seats, run the ring gently down to make sure it's flush.

Might also have closed the JF a tad too snugly when getting ready to refill. Rubber band or similar grip aid can be helpful with that.
Kayfuns rule! Great for flavor because of the small, domed chamber. I use the v5. Air adjusts from mtl to slightly restricted dtl. I find too much air cuts back on flavor. I started making my own coils on a v2 lite plus. Which load juice from the bottom. K5's load from the top. 2.5 coil, 8ohmsn -15 watts, on hex ohm's.

Hello all, I wanted to take a minute to say, “Thank you” to all of my friends on ECF. After around a year of duel vaping, I set a quit date of my 61st birthday to stop smoking. On February 25th, 2015 (my birthday), I had my last cigarette. I spent that day doing Google searches on vaping and very soon after found this forum. I spent my birthday reading the various post on ECF and discovered a group of friendly helpful people. The next day (2/26/15) I registered and became a member of ECF. Since then I have met many people who I am privileged to call friends. I have watched these friends celebrate life events, the birth of children, grandchildren, and fur babies. I have also shared my grief of the loss of family and shared in their grief of the loss of family and friends. ECF has now become a part of my life and also, more importantly, a part of my family. So thanks to all of you, it was with your help and love that I have been able to quit the use of cigarettes and was able to start a new and much healthier lifestyle.
Love ya Diver!

Other than the Skylines, the 2Ls are all I use these days. Small chamber on the Skys, as well. I still try different RTAs now and then, and usually add those to the vapocalypse chest. (Yeah, long past box! Mods, toppers, spare parts, nic :lol: ) The Skys earned places in my normal rotation, also top fill :)

(And I think you meant 0.8 ohms?)

My Vaporesso Target Mini 40W mod came in today. It's actually smaller than I thought it would be. With a DoggieStyle atty on it I can easily hide it in my hand with the drip tip exposed enough to take a hit. It's the ultimate in stealthy size. (stock photo below)

Nice! Unless that's a very large atty ... it sure looks like a tiny mod.

It's comparable to the size of an iStick mod, but shorter. I was shocked when I opened the box, but once I put an atty on it and tried it I like the vape. The electronics provide a smooth vape with hardly any crackling sounds and the electronics seem to be reasonably accurate. The internal cell is obviously LiPo (1400mah). I vaped it last night for several hours after charging and the battery display showed about 3/4 battery power left after vaping at 10W.

It measures roughly 2 1/8" tall, 1 1/4 wide, and about 7/8" thick. Definitely a candidate for easy pocket carry.

It is tiny. My first thoughts were that it was a toy and I screwed up ordering it. Once I tried it I discovered that the electronics are fine in power and TC mode. Since it's a 40W mod the battery life appears to be longer than some of the 100W and 200W mods I vape at 10W. Seems the heavier electronics on some of the higher wattage mods drain the batteries faster. I don't have documentation to prove that, just my experience. It's all about efficiency with variable mods and power drain.

I'll keep it around in rotation and see how it performs over time.

The 'Burgh, PA.
Lost Vapes Orion Go the one that has the DNA chip in it.

It isn't something I am going to be picking up anytime soon, however, I like to keep abreast in case the need may arise.

When my "need arose" for a "Pod Mod"...something stealth/small for "out and about"...I did check out the Lost Vapes Orion Go...

It does have the DNA GO chipset, 3 Power Output Modes, etc....but costs $60+...

After looking into Pod Mods...I ended up getting a couple Justfog Minifits...one of the few Pod Mods with Constant Voltage output...where the voltage remains constant until the battery is depleted...(most of them have Direct Voltage output where the voltage will decrease as the battery runs down)…

And...they only cost $10+...so if I lose one...(or "forget" it after enjoying some beverages of an alcoholic nature in a bar)...I won't lose too much sleep over it...

Looks like ANTZ has once again twisted the data to support their cause. The article just came out, but has been picked up by most news outlets. I suppose that the target group for vaping is former smokers and sure, most of us are susceptible to heart attack, stroke, and all the other maladies that haunt former smokers, but the article fails to mention that healing starts when you drop the smokes and vape instead. I'm not sure that switching to vaping has any significant outcome other than the odds that our former smoking habit becomes less of a risk the farther we are from our last smoke.

E-cigarettes linked to heart attacks, coronary artery disease and depression: Data reveal toll of vaping; researchers say switching to e-cigarettes doesn't eliminate health risks

This study found that compared with nonusers, e-cigarette users were 56 percent more likely to have a heart attack and 30 percent more likely to suffer a stroke. Coronary artery disease and circulatory problems, including blood clots, were also much higher among those who vape -- 10 percent and 44 percent higher, respectively. This group was also twice as likely to suffer from depression, anxiety and other emotional problems.

And, of course, this is nearly the last: "Cigarette smoking carries a much higher probability of heart attack and stroke than e-cigarettes, but that doesn't mean that vaping is safe,"

while, as you say, ignoring that most vapers have a long history of smoking. Id jots.

For the first time, I forgot mine this year. I must really be quit. :lol: To round off the averages, quit just over six years ago, haven't smoked 99,000 cigarettes :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: and saved almost $33,000 ( minus one or two thousand spent on vaping, most of which will last the rest of my life). :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:
