Simple & Strange Things I've Learned on ECF

[DC2]

so yours is most likely reliable, i am assuming

Post count doesn't = reliable, just that low post count might not be as reliable as you might like.
Although my advice is always reliable, because if I don't have something reliable to say I keep my mouth shut.


NOTE: That doesn't mean there aren't people with low post counts that don't offer great advice.
NOTE: It's all about experience with different equipment.

oh good, cause i could have a gazillion posts and probably still not be very reliable

I've learned to clean your battery threads and your carto/ clearo threads everyte you charge your batteries. Preferably before you charge. Keep 'em clean and they work better.

 

[kabonk]

I've learned that you think your carto has lasted 3 weeks until you put a fresh one in the tank and then you realize how burnt it really tasted.
I've learn to find a good deal and buy in bulk to save some cash

The old cartridge system, however, can easily be used for dripping; that's how I started. My first kit used a 650mAh battery with an atty screwed onto it, and then a cartridge filled with juice was pushed into the atty. The carts are just plastic tubes with filler material inside (blue aquarium foam works great) that juice was dripped into.

If you don't use the cartridge, you can drip directly onto the atty:

That's exactly what drip tips were originally invented for...
And that's also exactly how I have been vaping for the last three plus years...


EDIT: I still have some blue foam, if anyone needs it.

so you manually drip the juice the entire time you vape? doesn't that get tedious? i don't have enough hands.

And yards.......

That's just one I found online, I have actually seen it before, those poor people HAD to have had a thousand forks in the yard, it was too funny!!

Maybe they were aerating.

....you just MAY be onto something!!

Dumb me had to enlarge the pic to see (which one can do by "clicking on the pic)

- I've learned that all ECF threads become "chatty" threads.

Yeah....

When searching for a particular topic on here, use Google and include "ecf" in your keywords. It's so much more effective than using this site's search function.

Interesting, I'll have to try that sometime

Best advice I can give to ANYONE reading this forum...

Also, look at post counts when judging whether or not the information you are getting is reliable.

I'm am learning to do that myself

I have plenty, but thank you. I still think this is a great little kit. the cartridges and the foam are cheap; if you drip something and you like it, you can put in the cart. If you like it even more you can get a <insert name of favorite delivery device>, and if you decide to get a more advanced set up, you have a little stealth eGo.

I've learned that new member's really should take the time to read the rules/regs/ & new member stickies

I've learned that if you see an abrevation with little dotted lines under it you can "hover" your curser over it and the word/words will pop up - I learned that in the newbies stickies

Not any more tedious than lighting a cigarette.

On the other hand, if you are a chain-vaper, I could see how it could get tedious.
I tend to take a few vapes, until just about when a dry hit is coming, and then put it down.

For me, I find filling cartomizers/clearomizers/tanks to be far more tedious.
Especially since I like to change flavors many times throughout the day.

 

[Absintheur]

Don't know if it was mentioned but buy a passthrough, there will come a time when you realize you forgot to charge batteries and a passthrough can be a lifesaver. Also great for road trips.

Okay, perhaps not Zen Garden, but what about vaping Small Panda? Hangsen Crentia E-liquid - Small Panda flavor / ultra high nicotine

I've learned that Small Panda is a brand of asian cigarettes

 

[daleron]

Learning to "drip" is a wonderful way to try new flavors you're not sure about

I have learned my travel bag is not big enough

 

[The Ocelot]

I'd learned about Panda, but not Lesser Panda My, my, kind of a let down really...

I've learned you can still learn real life lessons even in the virtual world.

"Does our ferocity not derive from the fact that our instincts are all too interested in other people? If we attended more to ourselves
and became the center, the object of our murderous inclinations, the sum of our intolerances would diminish."

I've learned that if you know what pyramid teabag cartridge mods are... you're old school (like me).

Which came first the tea bag or the foam?

 

[Rick Taps]

Hmmm... good question. I remember trying both around the same time... tea bags worked better for me and were easier.
