Nice cache of stuff you just got! Did you really mean .5mg/ml nic :shock: Why bother w/ any nic at all?

Yup. one-half-milligrams-per-milliliter. Because I usually vape at 6mg/ml, but that one hit me HARD. and that was just witth one .5ohm coil @ 12w. this is a VERY good dripper.

Have a couple, and yes, easy to build - to whatever value you like. I build mine about 1.8, airflow all the way down. And the factory coils can be rebuilt, easier than single coil Kanger types.
That is really good to know. What I had seen said the factory coils were tough to take apart. I will have to look into that further then.

Sorry to report that Trip my 2 YO chocolate lab was put to sleep today. His condition worsened over the past week to the point that he could hardly stand or walk. His vet was still working with other neuro-vets to find another alternative treatment but was unsuccessful in offering anything. It was a hard decision but I really think for his sake it was the best thing. Thanks for all of your well wishes and prayers.
That's quite a shock. I was sure he was doing so much better. So sorry for your loss!!!

How about airflow? I have one RDA that even with using only one coil and almost completely closing off airflow, still is not suitable for MTL. I packed it away. It's the Lancia. If anyone wants it, let me know.
Thank you!

Why is it I always come back to ECF in time for a FDA crises that sets off my panic attacks? I am cursed!

Well given some reading I have been doing all day today I think my plans on what to buy today has changed slightly. With the FDA from hades impending even closer I decided to go for quality. I will be getting a 2nd provari(known durability) + a Kanger subtank mini ordered tomorrow. Then if I like that tank I will be picking 3-4 more. I have a good supply of mechs and rdas so I am not so worried about that. Also planning on another liter of nic for the freezer. At that point I am set I think.

If things go down the way folks think it will. I wont be vaping in public (or driving) anyway. The real important thing to me is being able to continue vaping.

This is scary stuff folks. BTW Dimitri is going to be talking about all this stuff(the FDA) with Bill Godshall tonight on VPLive.
Why stop vaping in public? I think the more people see it, the more acceptable it will bwcome. It's the cloud chasers that cause problems. But people need to see mature, responsible, polite vaping happening.

Hi, David: I can't believe I missed your post or replied to the wrong person. I keep seeing the boxes and they remind me of a Zippo with a weird attachment. Their clouds also remind me of the "shotgun" scene from Outside Providence by the Farrelly Brothers! I like the tube best. Have a good night! :)
Clouds have norhing to do with tubes or boxes. Tubes & boxes are just battery holders, with a button that connects the battery to fire whatever atomizer you have attached to it. That's all they are. Your Evod is a tube with a non-removable battery in it. Other devices (no mattery the shape) have the ability to allow you to take out a low battery & put a fully charged one in. You then put your low battery into a stand alone charger to charge it back up so it.s ready to be used again. You'll need several batteries, no less than 4 I would say. Clouds come from the juice formula in your atomizer. Specifically a juice made with more pg will carry more flavor & throat hit, but too much pg will leak because it's consistancy is so thin. It does produce a lighter vapor. Vg is what produces clouds. A type of vg is what is used in fog machines at concerts, haunted houses, & in movies d plays to produce a fog effect. Vg mutes flavors but is needed to thicken up the juice so it doesn't leak, d the vapor produces helps with the whole brain comparison to smoking. I use a 50/50 mix of the 2. Some people have a negative physical reaction to pg d so use higher vg juices, not for the clouds it produces, but to cut down on the pg. Vg is very thick & does not wick easily, so distilled water is used to thin it some so it will wick well in their tanks & drippers.
So, boxes & tubes provide power to your atomizer which is where your delicious juice lives. My hands are really messed up from rhuematoid arthritis, several of us here have that, or fibromyalgia or other issues that make us look for devices that work well with our abilities. I like boxes, because I can get a better grip on them. My preferred brand is Hana Modz box mod. They use a replacable battery, are American made, are varible voltage or wattage which allows me to adjust the heat produced through my coils for the best flavor from different juices, & can be sent in for repair if damaged by dropping if the chip goes out. Provaries are a tube mod work the same way, also American made, & repairable. Reo's mods are box mods, mechanical, so there are no wires or chips. Power to the coil is decided by the ohms of the coil you are using. Not much to go wrong with those.

Replaceable batteries, like a flashlight. Buy a few. That way you can just slip another in to use while you charge the drained one. Just keep them rotating.

Just make sure you get the right batteries for the particular device. I buy most of mine from RTDvapor.com.

Nice! Thanks!

Missed the show. Oh, well. I miss everything. How was it?

A potential vapocalypse has given me an excuse to stock up (which I have a natural tendency to want to do anyway). But, it's also kept me from playing around as much. I've also tended to put off buying things like batteries because they'll always be available (so no rush).

In the meantime, I'm really low on batteries! Especially 18500s. I could really use a Black Friday sale at RTD Vapor.
Yep, I'm holding out for black friday sales for flavorings!

Hi folks. Just popping in to drop a link to a Provari base at a great price. Maybe for those on a fixed income or for C-Mas?
Authentic Provari Base [316 Stainless Steel] by Tatroe - Made in the USA!
Damn you, probably ordering one of these tomorrow for my B-day. Tried to resist. :grr:
I have the Orchids down to a science. Only little dribbles.
So maybe a mini pad instead of a nappie? Glad you got them tamed, though the dribble would drive me insane, but I know how you love them.
Likewise. I just never know what to say in situations like this.
I don't either, I just bumble it out as awkward as it may be. It is heartfelt. I just hope they understand how truly crushed I am by their news and that I support them 100%. If it hurts them, it hurts me.
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Author unknown...

Who's gonna tell a cat that it can't be there? Of course the cats will be there!
(Not against you, Retired. I loved your post.)

I've been looking for Unknown Author for a long time. "When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here..." Hello? Any animal, including those that have been neglected, abused, slaughtered, etc., go over the Rainbow Bridge. Hello?!

I don't care if I have to sit in the lobster pot for eternity, animals are not expendable. Our old dog's, Thor's, best friend was a doe. They were sickeningly in love with each other. It had been going on for years before we realized it. She watched over him like a hawk for months as he slowly died from congestive heart failure during her second to last pregnancy and birth of her fawn. She was never the same after he died and passed two years later. Her first born and the orphan fawn she adopted the same year have outlive her by years and still going strong. Tell me animals don't care. If only dogs that had humans that care about them, Thor would have gone elsewhere and that where I want to go, where he, my other pets and "Mom" the went went.

When I was working in animal rescue after Katrina I heard a wonder story (that I don't remember precisely, forgive me): A person walked up to the Pearly Gates. After a brief discussion, the individual moved on unsure. Walking on down the road it soon turned into a dirt road. They soon came to a rickety wooden fence in a field. Intrigued, they went through the gate and found the end of the Rainbow Bridge, a place where all the animals lived in harmony with the people that loved them.
Shrodinger couldn't...

or could...
Man, that cat BSed Schrödinger big time. Yeah, had to look that up but it's behind the dilapidated wooden gate. Thor said so. :D

Because when these laws go in place all my devices will become illegal ;) SO won't be using them in public will be tooting on a cigalike with everyone else.

Not me. Go forth boldly I say., I think purchasing will be illegal but owning won't. What are they going to do? Throw you to the ground and cuff you. Nah. This ain't Russia

I've heard of the HG2. Where do I get it? I don't see it at RTD. I buy mostly AW batteries there.
here they are at RTD also LG 18650HG2 3000mAh 20a

Damn you, probably ordering one of these tomorrow for my B-day. Tried to resist. :grr:
Happy Birthday darlin!!!!!!!!

Hope you have a super fantastic one!!!!

yeah I also don't think owning them will become illegal......I think they'd have to outlaw cigs first.

well golly gee whiz whillikers. No sleep, kept trying to get the Professional to coordinate, which it wouldn't. Then I go to connect the Advanced and it won't.

The Standard, though, still works great. Went out and flew at 7:30 am to celebrate that fact. Very glad I didn't cancel my request for return authorizations. B and H is good folks, but the Phantom Adv and Pro ain't ready for my prime time. Yes, DJI might come out with a fix tomorrow, or they might just abandon the models, who knows? Happy Saturday all! P.S.: talking DJI Phantom Quadcopters above.

That's extraordinarily clever, I think. Not sure.

What you got agin mature, responsible cloud chasing?

Vg is what produces clouds. A type of vg is what is used in fog machines at concerts, haunted houses, & in movies d plays to produce a fog effect.
According to my baby bro, who has experience in these matters, the VG used in fog machines is identical to the VG we use for vaping.

I agree with anyone who's said that it won't be illegal to own them, just to sell them.

Happy Birthday darlin!!!!!!!!
If Deb says it's your boitday, it must bees your boitday! HB, FT!

I received a message from DHL that the Clouper mini plus TC mod I won in the big contest should be here Monday!!!!! I may put off my errands until Tuesday because I think they require a signature.... :rickroll::banana::rickroll::banana::rickroll::toast::vapor:

Most likely. My last DHL delivery required one.

no, it will not be illegal to own such a device. Just to manufacture and sell them unless approved by the FDA.
