You could just label the bottles - and date them too.
Nope, but I think others have covered possibilities. Hope you get it cleared up without too much trouble.
Well, it was a very good effort on your part. Yes, we're not spending much at all these days and certainly not nearly what we'd be spending if we were still smoking!
Mike had to cut his nic in half because he vapes so much more when he's dripping. It's usually because he's trying a new juice or we're playing with making a new juice.
I don't know about overreacting and don't think she was criticizing at all. One or 2 people were kind of rude, but mostly people were trying to help him. If the guy didn't know he needed to put juice on the wick you gotta figure he has no idea what he's doing. Sound like he might have just jumped into building coils. People end up doing stupid things, especially with batteries and end up getting hurt so it's best to at least point them to some videos to learn about it first. I'm glad he was at least using a Provari for his first build.
Thanks, Deb, I feel better now, knowing I'm not the only one that was alarmed at first.
yw hun. Sad part is, mods probably can't do much, but you did what you could. Maybe if they tell him they'll get through to him that he really needs to learn what he's doin. Or, pehaps they can find out if he's trollin. I've been seeing a ton of threads posted in the wee hours that say Hi....I'm new or something like that and not much more than that. Really suspicious of those as well.
I haven't decided. I might buy 100 mg and cut it to 50 mg and use more bottles. I am going to go down to the swap thread and see if I can trade some odds and ends for empty 8 ml bottles from wizard.
You didn't just draw that did you? It's perfect!!!

I think it is a fake myself. Who would start with a Provari and an RDA. I started on junk and worked my way up. Of course that is all that was available. I can't see someone starting out with that outfit. I still don't have an RDA cause I don't know that much about them the only drippers I have used was back in the old days. Seems to me someone who doesn't know anything would start out with a Nautilus or something like that and one of the cheaper VV VW devices. Maybe I'm all wet but doesn't make sense to me.
This leak is driving me crazy. I can see where it is leaking from which is the air flow control but can't for the life of me figure out what is causing it. You can look right down into the coil and it is clean and dry. Which is surprising to me because I have vaped about 30ml through it. Horton I think you are right if I can get the bugs worked out of this thing It has a great flavor. Mine came with 3 spots on the part where the air control is that a burnt don't know what from. Looks like a torch has been used. One with a real focused flame. Don't know if that is normal. It's like Busardo said these have the potential of being one of the best RTA's on the market.
My hero!
PapaSloth, your post was a gentle reminder to all of us that words matter, and a little kindness goes a very long way. I will remember that. Again, thank you.
Well said, Birdy.
We have shrimp and crawfish on the SC coast. Does that count? And I smoked a brisket today
Shrimp & grits? Yes! Low Country Boil? Yes! Make same with Crawfish? Yes, yes, yes! And smoked brisket? Always!
Kenna, that thought crossed my mind ... But I've "met" some very nice people over my short tenure on ecf. Mostly, I think people are good and want to be helpful. Like you!
I haven't tried to respond to many noob issues, except for Nautilus things. I just don't feel I know enough yet to be the one to step up when I'm so new at all of it myself. I can encourage others about trying coil building now tho, now that I've actually done one. That first one is scary, & I'm really not a timid, things are scary type person. Cautious, yes; timid, no.
Looking at an Elkronigin. I've heard good things about them: good juice capacity; easy build ('tho you're good at building, so that might not matter); well made; and great flavor. I was thinking about the Ruzgar, but it has a very small deck, and I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to work with it.
Yeah, I've wound 2 coils & used one of them so far! #2 is still a mystery!
Thanks, Janet. Even if he is just being obnoxious, I wonder what kind of effect his post had on people new to vaping or even just researching it. Not good either way.
I just now changed the BVC in my Nautilus clearomizer. I put the previous BVC coil in just 4.5 days ago. I average about 5.5 ml of joose per day, so that's 25 ml of juice before I felt the need to change the coil.
There's no doubt that I'm becoming more particular about changing the head earlier than is absolutely necessary. The previous coil was still functional, as they almost always are when I change them, and was still reading 1.9 ohms, as it did from the get-go. The new coil likewise reads 1.9 ohms but the airflow is so much more delightfully betterer with the new coil.
I justify more frequent replacement of the coil by comparing the cost (averaging about $2 per coil) with the $12 per day that I was spending on cigarettes at this time in 2013.

I wonder too, so I haven't bought anything that I can't make my own coils for.
I've been temped by a lot of the newer stuff, but I'll be throwing it away when the coils, battery, etc run out .. then what ??
So, I try to buy stuff that I can keep working, so I can be independent if this state stops the ability to order over the net.
I have lots of spare parts, and crossed fingers for the future.
I luv ya PaPa, but this gave me the biggest laugh of the day Your so cute

E-cigarettes would be banned in public places under California bill
Excerpt
"Whether you get people hooked on e-cigarettes or regular cigarettes, it’s nicotine addiction and it kills," Democratic state Senator Mark Leno, who introduced the bill, said in a telephone interview. "We're going to see hundreds of thousands of family members and friends die from e-cigarette use just like we did from traditional tobacco use."
Do they think everybody is so stupid that they will believe this stuff? Hope he's publicly flogged and held accountable for his lies.

I’m giving you a like for learning your lesson before vapergedon. Sorry it happened. On the bright side, vapergedon spare parts.
My mistakes are my fame...
Epic.
He’s got T-shirts too.

Generally, yes, but some people get all mystical about how the chimney isn't perfectly conical and that kills flavor, or some such. It's really the density of the vapor on the draw (less vapor is needed to saturate an atty that has a tight draw, but a wide-open air flow with a big draw might taste weaker even though there's more total vapor). Temperature also matters (warmer vapor might taste more flavorful), but if the coil is too hot, that can kill the flavor of the juice. Also, how much time the juice has spent on the wick getting boiled can affect the flavor. So, there are lots of things going on (some of which make sense to me, and some of which I don't really understand).
As someone who teaches 18 year olds at a community college, I have to assume ignorance here unless proven otherwise. I really can believe that someone might not understand that you have to put juice on the wick to keep it from burning (in fact, I ran into someone like that here at ECF about two months ago. Fortunately, he understood after I explained it to him).
That is awesome! I would use it for my avatar except 1). it's someone's personal artwork, and I don't want to take it without permission, 2). there's no way I could live up to that image
See my earlier comment about teaching 18 year olds at community college. I also teach older learners. Even my wife, who is both smart and well educated, isn't entirely convinced about vaping and often forwards me these fear mongering articles that she comes across in the media. As Abe Lincoln said, "you can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time. But, you can't fool mom."
Frankly, the guy has set off neither my troll nor my idiot alarms. But, I have not spoken to him privately and I have had no previous dealings with him, as some of you have. Maybe if I had done so, my opinion would be different. It's also possible that my personal history creates a different viewpoint. God knows I've done many things as dumb or dumber than what this guy did, but my heart was in the right place when I did them.

OK.... Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!!!!!!!!
I just wired and wicked up my KF mini with the same build I'd done on my KF Lite. HALLELUJAH!!!!!! NO DRY HITS! I couldn't vape but about 3 or 4 hits before getting a dry hit. I've been happily vaping for 1/2 hour, and all is SWEET!
0mg, I am going to either look for the knitting needles or get some metric bits. I think a slightly smaller diameter would still be o.k. (like 2.5mm) I also think the 28g wire is making this happier
I was having big problems with dry hits on my Kayfun Lite+...THe solution turned out to be something I would never have expected. I was filling it too full which did not allow airspace at the top for the juice flow system to work properly. Now I fill it 2/3 full and never have a problem.
For those with leaks around fill screws. THe way I solved mine is going to sound just a tad odd. I took the round end of the condom from a carto and put a tiny needle hole in the center then put the screw through it and into the fill hole (trapping it between the RDA bottom and the screw head). No more leaks.
Alas, they have fooled my mom. Hope she doesn't see that. Guess it's time to have the talk with the folks. I really hope the big guns come out to put this fool in his place. Look who contributed to this fool's campaign fund. http://www.followthemoney.org/show-me?c-t-eid=22531&d-cci=68&d-ccg=8#%5B{1|gro=d-eid Can't imagine why he'd want to dis vaping.
