Sorry Lulu but I take great exception to this.

There are many of us that subohm but are NOT in the category of pushing limits and making it into a game. THe extra vapor and heat are what keeps us off Cigs.

What you want to rip into are the sport and competition vapers. Not every sub ohmer out there.

Then we will have to agree to disagree...........sorry.

The only delivery devices I use are a pair of Kanger Subtank+ tanks that are 25 mm in diameter, too large to fit that mod. But what I'd like to know is: what do you eat that weeds die when you pee on them? There aren't many of us who can pee in the yard without danger of being seen by the neighbors, but I'm not able to kill weeds.
Gave up on USPS?

When they talk about an increase in the number of high schoolers vaping, they never mention there has been a decrease in the number of high schoolers smoking cigarettes because of it. They never mention it, but you know they are aware of it. Such a nasty, dishonest group of people has taken over much of this country.

Lulu when you want to educated about what is and is not safe responsible sub ohm vaping let me know. Until then I respectfully suggest you are going off just as half cocked as those that say "If it looks like smoking it is smoking"

Well, I am currently sitting on about 8 years worth of hardware and nic. Bought it a couple of years ago (10 yrs then) - all rebuidable. But I plan on extending that a bit and have already started my effort. Nic will wait for the 4th of July sales - hopefully it does not bite me for putting it off till then, but they are usually good ones...
5 liters will last me about 13 years at 16 mg. I think. I need to get more. I think family might be hitting me up.

Mine is a small upright with no lock. Which is fine since we never have kids around. I noticed when shopping for it though that many of the smaller ones do not lock.
Do I really need a seperate freezer? Worries about contaminating food? I know it can be absorbed through your skin, I don't like the whole idea. I'd prefer to get lower percentage, but there's no price reduction. So doctors gloves, but how dangerous is it if you get some on your fingers or elsewhere?

Work with it near water, like on a bathroom or kitchen counter. And, have it in a contained area in case of big spills. You might use one of those big, rectangular pyrex pans.

As long as you do those things and make sure to rinse it off immediately if it does get on your skin, there should be no problem. I don't even bother to rinse immediately if it's only a few drops. But, better safe than sorry.

IOW, just take reasonable precautions. Above all, keep away from children and pets.

And, about the freezer. It doesn't have to be in a separate freezer unless you have children or anyone else who might get into it. Or, if you just don't have room in your regular freezer.

But, do make sure that it's sealed up in the freezer. It's best stored in glass. But, glass is breakable. So, make sure it's all sealed up in plastic in case the glass breaks.

Gotta ask... do ya have it in 'stealth' mode? That's when while vaping, the display is disabled. To check settings, just tap the 'fire' button once. That will let you check your:
- wattage
- coil ohms
- actual voltage used to maintain your set wattage
- battery level

To switch 'stealth' modes, press and hold the 'fire' and 'down' buttons for 5 seconds.

Glad to hear you're enjoying your new setup!

Da last three I've seen did not have locks, although there are small models dat have 'em.
It is in stealth mode, but accidently so. I have to go back and read the manual to figure out how, ha. It's working and I can adjust the wattage, so I'm reluctant to mess with it. It's such an improvement in flavor and control.

Well my search for Kayfun styled toppers has led me to the Kayfun Mini V3. Anyone tried one of these yet... Kayfun original - $99 FT clone - $13.18

Holds 2ml, which for me is about what I like (2.5 - 3ml)...

FT Link - $13.18 Kayfun Mini V3 Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 2ml / 316 stainless steel + glass at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Never bought from FT - gonna see if I can find it locally also if some of you give me a good review...

I have this one in the link and its a great atty. It is better IMO than the FT one as I have one of those too. This one ships from California and you will have it before the end of the week if you order now :)

I'm spending some time surfing other commonwealth countries vape sites, because of the legality of buying 3 months supply for personal use. Shipping costs are comparable. Will the proposed legislation ban it in the US altogether? Hope the US action doesn't prompt a revisiting of existing laws here. Time to start a future supply stash, but will have to do a bit at a time, as my budget allows. But, it might be worthwhile for me to get some uk made equipment, it appears to be a less risky option for getting pre made coils, etc.

The legislation is not "proposed", it has been enacted into law. However, it does not ban vaping per se. It bans products which have not undergone a verification process that is not only prohibitively expensive but which also gives no assurance of approval.

It is really stupid and ignorant legislation promoted by crooked idiots, and it's bought and paid for by Big Pharma and Big Tobacco.

My iStick TC 40W came in yesterday along with the two EHPro Kayfun 3.1's I ordered for backup to my aging originals. The Kayfuns are in the original box with all accessories. Good deal for $15 each.

The iStick TC 40W came with a surprise. It only supports TI and Ni200. I kind of expected it to support SS316L. I wound a spaced .89 ohm SS316L coil and it does work with SS, but in the higher temp settings it spits and sometimes doesn't settle down as it should. I have a roll of TI, so I can just use that in the iStick TC40 for temp control. It was a good deal for $31.99.

Oh well, it's great in power mode and has a 2600mah battery. It's something I intended to use for out and about to replace my old iStick 20W that has threads that are wearing out. It also seems to be accurate in power mode and the OLED display is nice and readable.

Yes, I really like the iStick TC 40W, but it is not especially good in TC mode regardless of the composition of the coil. IMHO, they might as well be a wattage-mode-only mod. And, the power button is, again in my opinion, superior to the power button on the iStick 30 and iStick 50 mods.

If you should ever decide to get another, you can get it for $26.25, with free shipping, by using the coupon code "President", at: Eleaf iStick 40W TC Kit - $35.00 : Rocky Mountain Vapor, The Mountain top of Electronic Cigarettes

I'm not trying to split hairs, here, but the Deeming regs are not laws, they are regulations. Only Congress can pass a law; federal agencies make "rules" that govern the ways in which laws will be interpreted and enforced. Once a rule is published in final form ("Final Rule"), Congress has as few as 30 and as many as 60 days to read, respond to and either remain silent or pass a resolution of disapproval. Further, Congress can pass laws subsequent to adoption of a rule that amend any or all of the rule. This is what Reps Cole and Bishop are trying to do with the Ag Appropriations amendment.

Civics lesson over for today :)

Thanks for the price tip. There's always a better deal out there somewhere. The iStick TC 40W was an after thought when I was ordering a couple of EHPro Kayfun 3.1's for $15 on sale.

I just bought it for a small mod replacement for my old iStick 20W. The 510 threads were getting worn and rough. I usually only use the iSticks for a small pocket mod when I'm out of the house or out cutting grass and working around the house. TC mode was a plus, but I'll have to use TI or Ni200 instead of the SS316L I prefer. I wonder why they didn't equip it with SS compatibility.

What matters is that the FDA has regulation power and the power to come in and fine you or shut you down if you don't comply with their Regs. They don't have arrest power, but Customs and Federal Marshals can be called in if they detect criminal activity.

At any rate, they have the power to change our vaping lives if we don't limit their authority through the various vaping organizations.

I agree 100%, Dave. And actually, they DO have an enforcement arm, with guns and everything. :facepalm: The reason I posted what I did is to remind folks that our best (only?) chance prospectively to alter the Rule is through the legislature. It is so important that folks write their senators and representatives -- and other members of congress -- in support of the Ag Appropriations amendment.
