Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Three

[FlamingoTutu]

I know it's been mentioned before but can't remember the answer. Does the nickel give off a nickel taste at all? Just curious.

Finally got caught up......welcome to all da new folks!!

Haven't seen you for a bit, that must have been a reading marathon. Hope all is well.

I think the answer depends on who you ask. The best I can offer from my experience is a definite maybe. The vape tastes different to me but there's no way for me to know whether that taste is from the coil material or rather from what I regard as a fact of life that a mod in temperature control mode produces a different-tasting vapor to begin with. I am enamored with the concept of temperature control but so far I find temp-controlled vapor thinner and less satisfying regardless of whether I'm using titanium or nickel.

With titanium, I think I enjoy the vapor taste better when in power mode rather than temperature control mode. That's based on less than 24 hours experience with a titanium coil. But with a nickel coil, I can only use it in temperature control mode due to the extremely low resistance of the wire, so I can only compare apples to oranges.

Nope! Welcome! We don't check ID, so pull up a chair and sit on the floor! Tell us about yourself.

I'm w/ Bells ... I don't think a nickel coil has a taste do to the coil ... but it does taste 'different' which I assume is the consistent temp of the coil. Although there are some people who have allergic issues with nickel ... not just a vaping a nickel coil but nickel touching there skin etc.

Welcome to the porch BigGoose ... looks like you just joined ECF a couple months ago - is that when you started vaping?

Just caught a CNN thing about kids starting to use vaping gear for drugs.

Starting to use? I think they have been using vaping gear for a long time. Part of our problem. Makes us look like drugies.

Not new ... they've been vaping their 'smoke' w/ vaporizers long before tobacco smokers started moving to e-cigs.

Yabutt point being, easier to get gear. One kid OD'd, brought into ER, treated and released. Went into the bathroom on the way out. OD'd again... brought back into the ER. Gettin' kinda sad.

Morning Porchers,

Thought I'd just slip in briefly to say hello. I'm up early, as usual, and enjoying my morning coffee and vape on the patio.

Looks like a war zone around here this morning. Major rain/wind storm yesterday on the west coast of B.C. Power outages everywhere which prompted me to charge up both ego ones last night. I panicked at the thought of being without my vape!

Hope you're all doing well!

Cheers!

Had much the same here, a bit south, although our immediate area only had a few blips. But enough to keep me offline most of the day. Rain throughout the night, still raining, but at least the wind has backed off. Didn't lose anything big on our property, but lots of small stuff to be cleaned up... But thankful for the rain! Been too long for us web-footed NWesters!

But maybe pointing out that you need more than just 2 devices? And extended power outage might be longer than those two egos would last you! Or perhaps a regulated 18650 type mod, and a large-ish supply of batteries added to your your arsenal?

I really enjoy that way of looking at it. If the Porches didn't already have names, "Older Than Yesterday" would have been a good one.

Reminds me of one of my favorite funnies. Works better as a sight gag but here's the text version:

A set of cave drawings is discovered. The first drawing shows a cave man putting his hand into a fire. The second drawing shows the cave man pulling his hand away from the fire quickly. The third drawing shows the cave man putting his OTHER hand into the fire.

Does any one know of a site that has the base pieces and/or o-rings for the mini protank 2? Does the base of the mini PT 3 fit the 2? Or the mini Davide base? I have googled my eyes out, checked every site in my bookmarks. I know I saw a link lately, thought I saved it, can't find it anywhere now The cheaper the better, of course Ideas anyone?

Yes, I remember someone posting such a link too..... no charge for my helpfulness.

Kanger Mini ProTank Base Replacement

$1.49

Site says it will work on the mini 2 and 3, so should also work for the equivalent Davide models.
