Translator?? Well, it's not "Consultant" but Translator is pretty good. At least I'm in office and I can always rally up for a better position! I was getting pretty worried about you, man. Then I saw a slew of deleted posts with your name on em and I felt much better. Miss Kitty even got deleted! She's the nicest ever! That one amazed me...so proud of her!

Yup, I about fell out of the chair when I seen Miss Kitty got one axed. But then again look at who she was hanging with, in the end it's out fault for dragging her down here anyway.

And "consultant" is an outside contractor, interpreter on the other hand is an inside job.

My cereal goes snap crackle pop. Flavor is muted somewhat...a bit metallic. I think I'm using a Kanthal spoon. VG got the noise down and it's keeping my spoon cool enough to eat my breakfast.

NiChrome spoons are cheaper but need to be torched to get rid of the monkey ....

I have it from scientifically reliable sources that you can get more cotton here:
Pre-Boiled Organic Cotton Wick - 4 Pack - Kidney Puncher

I do not use boiled cotton of any kind. I do what I can to prevent dangerous practices. I will just stop on the way home and pick some from a field again. It is safer that way, and I can verify that it is organic. Can't fool me with plastic cotton plants, I grew up in the panhandle of Texas.

Hold on a minute, that little yellow airplane that was flying really low over that cotton field, he wasn't watering the cotton, he was infecting it with Dried Elbow Skin and using Monkey .... juice as a carrier.

After seeing many recommendations to clean off new equipment to remove machine oil residue, I now realize it's actually the monkey .... that's causing those off tastes.
Sorry to mislead you, there is also fish products and by-products as well as used saddle leather (which can be a good thing ymmv) or dry skin (also a good thing???) and dirty socks. Any of these items can cause a lack of enjoyment in vaping, or so I have heard.

(P.S. For those that didn't see, Cisco just alerted me that I may be sensitive to Kanthal and not NiChrome, as appearantly, they use NiChrome.)

If I am indeed sensitive to Kanthal, all my theories all along made sense, because hey, Kanthal could possibly give off that sort of offputting flavor I hate, and when Kanthal heats the silica particles that to me feel dusty and usually "relate" to the bad flavor, then it's probaby because the Kanthal is "cooking" a certain chemical onto the silica particles, effectively making me taste the particles. This "cooking" would be diminished on a VG blend, because of the temperature effect VG gives, so while the VG would cause the coil to install less chemicals on the silica dust, I would still "feel" the silica dust in a clean way, like I did on the first tank of the VG Fluxo.

Explains it all. Perfect scientific sense.

I just need a real, non-biased scientist to say wether a heated coil, to certain temperatures, has the ability to "coat" a silica particle with a certain chemical, wether oxidation chemicals, gunk chemicals, or what. It'd explain the entire series of my theories all along, and actually would prove me to be one of the premier geniuses in the vaping world for discovering a feature of vaping that no one across it's timeline has been able to correlate.

I doubt that'll happen, but I can wish :p.

(P.S. I do know the truth as to why users get mad at me - people simply don't want vaping to look unsafe. I don't want that either! But if there's a consistent flavor across a series of devices using Kanthal wire, that I can personally taste, then it is indeed in our vapor (wether you can taste it or not) and not only for myself, I want the safest vapor for everyone here.)

I mean, what if for some odd reason NiChrome ends up being a healthier vape decades down the line? Wouldn't we all want to know? Less people are allergic to it, after all. And maybe there's something healthier or better tasting than the two of those? I think that's what experimentation and dedicated tests and dedicated research (like I at least try to my best ability to do) is all about!

I just want to get one reply in before this thread gets locked.

Why try to make up a complicated theory when a simple one will do? Namely, that E-liquid picks up metal taste from the metal coil and you taste it and don't like it. You aren't the first to say you can taste nichrome or Kanthal in the vape. I can taste chrome drip tips, so I believe it's possible even if I don't taste the coils myself.
 

GoodNews!

Maybe it's just I've lurked on this forum longer than most people, but there was a thread on ECF years ago (not that malarky "Silica Safety" thread where people are doing more bullcrap guessing than I do), where an actual scientist used some sort of "scope tool" (like that machine that tests chemicals) and it took microscopic pictures of dust-sized silcia shards that he exhaled and/or somehow made the vapor go into the air.

Problem is, I can't find the thread, but has about a 100 pages of replies because the forum was so revolutional to ECF. I seriously can't find it, but I used to read it all the time. It wasn't microscopic pictures of silica itself, but silica shards being suspended in actual vapor and air.

That's science, and for anyone who hasn't been educated on that subject like I have, out of not having as many years of vaping on their backside like I do (thus not seeing the extremely old posts), then that's your fault, not mine.

And thrasher, I meand 4.8V's, the cartomizer itself is reading out as 2.4, but isn't producing much vapor even at 4.8V's as a 2.4 atomizer should. We're all experienced around here enough to know that this is what I meant.
