Wow, you guys thought you could escape me but I'm like a bloodhound, I tracked you down. Looks like a busy and productive weekend was had by all. I was a lazy slug. I did watch 24 hours worth of tv drama, although I took breaks to sleep And did a mountain of laundry.

There is all this talk around me about that horrible white wet cold stuff. They are predicting sleet/snow/ice for tomorrow. Like 6 to 12 inches of it. We will be devastated. If I lose power that means I lose water. And I lose my mind with cries of "I'm bored!!!" all around me. No power no internet, no internet no tv. Eventually all battery-operated devices will die, and I have one outlet in the car I can charge USB plugs with. Ha, will probably kill the car's battery!

Anyway, went to the grocery store at lunch, need to go back tonight because I forgot half the stuff I needed due to fracking weather woes. . .This ought to be an adventure.

Now, I've rambled enough. When I come back later I'll be onto an on-topic sentence or two.

You'll be fine in the snow...SC is flat.

CONGRATS JJ!

I have it, Honestly, I have just about everything that is VV/VW and it's not doing it for me. I was the kind of smoker that rarely had the cig out of mouth , took it in the shower with me too. had an ashtray right outside the door. I kept the cig dangling from my mouth, you really can't do that with any of these hard hitting ones

I smoked like that on occasion. Now I like the little 650mah twist batteries with cheapie clearo's and those I can hang from my mouth imbetween vaping (still use manual/button). I never looked into seeing if they have automatics. For a whole day I'd preload 4 of them and out the door since each one only lasts 2-4 hours of chain vaping.

I have my pages set at 40 posts per page and we are just about to close out page 5 here on day one of this thread.

Can bunnies have kittens? Lox is going to start worrying about having to close this thread out in a few weeks. It is great to see some new people joining us here. Gives me some purpose and reinforces my love for vaping.

LOL! True. I'm working my way backwards and about to give up for now. Just don't have the time. How do you all do it?

Hi. I found you too. I made it to three months. Thanks for all of your support!

 

[aikanae1]

Thanks guys. Mine is a bottom coil. And yes it sucks juice down! That's what made me wonder about the revolver. When I use my 650 it doesn't seem to go through as much juice, I figured that even though I'm using a 60/40 mix if the vv is sucking through more juice a hit that maybe that's why my throat started breaking out and having issues again when moving to the revolver? It was a thought haha. I took some benadryl and put the pv down. I'm getting throat issues now and didn't want to risk anything being home alone. I did put the tank back on my 650 for tommorow. And as soon as I wake up I'm headed for the 30 mile trip to the store. I need something. I'm just about in tears from pure frustration yall have been a big help I will be back tommorow sweet dreams

YIKES. That's gotta be painful. One thing I've discovered is the focus on nicotine addiction only is that little is really known about quitting cigs overall. For me, I think smoking was masking some respiritory problems I had developing. Some of the ingredients in cigs are there to anesthesize your throat and lungs. I supplimented with RYO and natural tobaccos as a way to wein myself off the chemicals and it's helped. Snus is also a good interm step although it takes getting used to. I've had a few episodes of getting really sick (breathing wise) and found the WTA unflavored was good when I couldn't vape anything else - do those missing alkaloids have something to do with it? Idk and I'm not a scientist or doctor to figure it out. There's a lot of this that's trial and error. I think the most up to date experiences on quitting cigs is going to be found on ECF though. You might do a search for someone else experiencing something similar.

I was very frustrated by the fact I could smoke a cancer stick with 4,000 chemicals added and had trouble vaping something with just a few known ingredients. I sunk extra money into it just figuring out what worked and what didn't yet I can't say I'm all the way there yet. Just better off than when I started. I was determined to find the right combo for me though.

I don't have much to do , and I don't plan on getting anything back from the old thread, Shari gives well thought out examples and explanations for things, so do you. My stuff is usually on the fly.

So stupid, I gaveall my original vape gear to people. One person has my smokeless image 808's 4 batts, charger and dozens of cartos. Another has my Blu kit. and another has all my V2's with Nanos made for 808's. The one I found was a Volt automatic. Thank goodness, I still have it. I converted 1 friend for sure, He got my VOlt V2's and has been using them steadily for 6 months. I gave away all the vamos to people that actually use them.

As soon as I have $ I will just but 1 Titan and 1 Volt to compare in the smallest length. I think the battery from V4L might be a winner. Length 65mm which is 10mm more than the E-roll, V4L Titan is rated at 3.9 Volts. most others are Rated at 3.7 at the most. I love the length or the e-roll, probably not much different than a BLu

I have the longer volt in my mouth now while I type Luckily, I have enough teeth to hold it! LOL

CONGRATS on 3 months (and 2 days!)!!!

Don't add vodka or any alcohol to VG mixes. Some flavors have a high alcohol base (NF) and those are nearly unvapeabe/cause problems for lots of people. I use alcohol based flavorings but they mix at <2%. That's plenty. Distilled water + saline is usally all that's required to thin VG (and I don't think it needs much thinner over 80F out). Another side benefit is tanks don't leak as easily. LOL! DW is a great flavor carrier.

CB, I agree with Karen on the voltage to keep your revolver at: 3.7 or 3.8ish. From what I read dual coil attys will burn through juice faster than a single coil. What is your topper? Is the coil on the top or the bottom? If it is a top coil, you need to keep tilting and twirling the device to keep those coils wet with juice. If you get a dry hit it will taste nasty and if you burn that coil it will need to be changed. Your revolver battery sounds like a rebranded Twist or Spinner vv battery.

Tobaccos and coffees tend to like higher voltages to taste their best. The chocolates and fruits I think like lower voltages (cooler). I keep getting this confused. The 100vg may burn at higher temps so thin it with distilled water or vodka or use lower voltage. Karen, chime in on this please. Want to make sure I am not steering her wrong.

Ya'll that are about to make or are in the beginning of making coils, micro coils, nano coils and/or sub-ohm coils PLEASE have a digital multi-meter close by to test for coil resistance B4 you put the new coil on any PV/APV/mech whatever.

Karen, is it just the size/weight that is important to you, or does the tactile feel come into play? Fasttech has a ton of cig-a-likes that are size/weight ideal (and if you have plenty of time to switch out on chargers they are priced right), but I've found I need the tactile feel of the filter (I hate those hard plastic things) -- which is a huge consideration for me on what to buy.

Absolutely!! Keep in mind too that too low resistance can trip protection circuits in ego type batteries basically making them worthless.
