I was just there, David, and a note said "499 needed to reach 10,000". Kind of makes me think 10,000 is the minimum needed. It should now say 498.

The petition "owner" can change the target on the fly.

Well got the kanger aero tank mow in today and so far after 20 minutes mum is liking it.
The protank mini is good but when you take it apart to fill the tank comes off as well so you have to hold the tank onto the top bit while filling and her hands aren't the best. This new one just the bottom and drip tip come off, so just turn upside down and fill no having to hold the tank in place.
Had to say again that no it won't explode. Got some of the new kanger coils for these type tanks that have the organic cotton in them.

One man's "off-taste" is another man's "cleaner taste". It's fairly clear that some people find any given wicking material to have a taste while others do not. To me, KGD is as clean-tasting as a wicking material can get, yet I know that some people find it to have an objectionable taste.

Yes, I've used the rayon with different flavors, but they're all fruit flavors because that's basically all I vape.

Hey Bells, Don't worry about the Rayon taste, Thats what happens when you don't get it wicked right, "THAT TASTE". I get it most every time I try Rayon, BUT, there have been a few times that I actually got it right and the taste was OUTSTANDING (Nothing but the Juice). Better than Any cotton that I have tried (my Labo comes in second place to Rayon). My problem is that I can't consistently get Rayon wicked right (I feel like a Tard). Either too much or not enough. Japanese Organic Labo Cotton is what I use cause I can wick it consistently every time. Rayon is to much "Hit or Miss" for me. Some get it right most all the time, not me though. I must be "Special". If you don't get Rayon wicked right I find an OFF taste, Every time, and my hands are Clean, Clean, washed just before I do Any wicking.

I have two kicked mechs and a Vamo. On occasion, my kicks do not work. When I transfer the RTA to my Vamo, I find that the Ω is above about 2.5. After hitting it a few times, it either settles back down to whatever Ω it previously had (1.3 to 2.0), and works with the kick, or I rebuild. One of the kicks is $9.07 Authentic Sigelei Variable Wattage Kick Module for Mechanical Mod - 5-15W at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping (which is supposed to go up to 3.0 Ω), another came with The Force Kick Adapter and two more were gifts from Mike. I honestly have lost track which is which.

Does anyone know what is the highest Ω for various kicks? Or has everyone else graduated from kick usage?

Is there / was there a loose connection? That can make VW go wonky as the mod tries to hit the setting...
No loose connections... Same issue with any mod I use...
And they all (amazingly) read the atomizer at either 1.2 or 1.3, so I know I'm not grounding out either.

FYI: it started tasting burnt at 10.5, so I went to 11, and it's been smooth for the past hour.

Something to do with the mod regulation I suspect it is not perfect.
I watched a Busardo vid where he tested one mod for wattage regulation at the lower end and it was quite a bit off. I do not remember the mod though.

Well this nichrome wire seems ok.
Was able to get an extra wrap on one atty and go from 2mm to 2.5mm on another.
Perhaps it may taste the same or better not really sure as had been using the two attys and their wicks for the last few days.

Don't have that info, 0MG, but if the resistance changes, there could be a problem with a poor connection somewhere.

So maybe I could experiment with using a different kick. Or tightening the screws and atty connection. Easier than rebuilding.

Last night I was really tired and lazy as I filled a tank prior to going to bed. I had been vaping an Orange/Citrus flavor in one of my Herakles tanks and just refilled it with a DIY Rumchata. This morning as I'm vaping I am getting my DIY Rumchata and there is a hint of Citrus. What a surprise, I like the flavor. I just may have to add a bit of Citrus to my next DIY Rumchata. Sometimes being lazy can be a good thing. LOL

These days, I tend to mix my DIY jooses with about 8% flavoring. A year and a half ago I was using 20-25%.

Today I felt like assaulting my taste buds more than my recent "usual" amount. I mixed up a 100ml batch of the following, with 16% flavoring. Simple but good, and helped me empty a couple of flavoring bottles that had only small amounts in them.


2.5% FA Orange
4.0% TFA Blueberry Wild flavor
4.0% TFA Orange Mandarin flavor
5.5% TFA Menthol flavor

That sounds good to me but without the menthol. My have to ask Janet to mix some. I've yet to find an orange that I don't get tired of after about 2 or 3 tanks of it.

The petition is aimed primarily at congress urging them not to pass the FDA's deeming if it contains all the usual ridiculous restrictions.

I saw this thread today but was too angry to post in it. Democrats blast feds' delays in e-cigarette, tobacco rules | E-Cigarette Forum

Two tombs at Palmyra were blown up today, history taken away from every human on this planet--past, present and future--and these guys are worried about what flavor we are vaping while we stay off their federally approved cigarettes? Sorry, I'm really POed about Palmyra, not to mention politicians in general right now. :evil:

Lessifer's latest comment about what to do is here Would a change dot org petition help us? | Page 16 | E-Cigarette Forum

This goes for both of what you posted.

Woke up way to early this morning. Looked at the petition and there were 11,111 signatures. Apparently we broke it because the site is down now.

Went back for a few more ZZZs a bit later. Spent most of the dream running around a weird, endless metropolis looking for a store to buy a carton of cigarettes. I vaguely remember smoking one cigarette; taking a hit, inhaling and exhaling. Cigarette was lit, smoke coming from the head, absolutely nothing through the filter but air and I was okay with that. Moral of the story? Never fall asleep watching the X-Files when the Smoking Man is in the episode. :w00t: Been a long time since I've had a smoking dream.

Woke up wondering why the cig didn't taste like blackberry, then realized it was a dream. One before that one, I think, is where I smoked, woke up and promptly confessed my sin to my husband. I felt terrible. THEN I realized it was a dream. He laughed at me. :(

For my evening nap, I dreamed I could not find the flavor of eliquid I was vaping. I looked everywhere in my dream home (different from the one I live in in real life) and could not find it anywhere... then looked in a mirror and I was vaping it. woke up at that point.
