Ma, its not me you have to worry bout. But, I'm looking forward to Sis puttin the hurt on Fish and Joe! I got your back if you need it Sis!

I know you're under a lot of stress right now but going back to smoking isn't the answer. We'll do whatever we can to help. For the time being until you can find what you want, why not pick up something that just works to get you through?

Mine are single coil..... ETA... yay I got tapatalk to work lol

I can imagine a great animation for that sort of group. Some dude with a dripper and a big *** bottle of juice, showing the dragon his fat plume. The dragon grabs the oversized bottle, empties it into his mouth, burps and fogs up the place. Lol. Sorry, my imagination runs and runs.

Strawberry cream with a touch of menthol. On exhale the vapor would spell out "I am your Father."

It's a hard time...something we all have to do...remember you have one chance do do it right...try and take care of yourself...get lots of rest..my thoughts and prayers for you and your family....

This

MVP2 is a great starter APV..no batteries or charger to buy....

An APV is a device that uses electronics to allow for voltage and or wattage adjustment as well as some other safety and gadget features normally. A "mod" is a basic mechanical device that has no regulation to speak of. The vamo is an APV.

And my igo w3 came in the mail.

Baseline reliable...apv vamo v5, mech smok magneto. Two great entry level devices that even veteran vapers use

Is anything else I can help you find lol. Vape hound services LLC....LMAO

That's all the copper I can find right now

Both are at .20-.22 ohms. Both have the Dinger tip. Only difference is how we do our coils and the liquid we vape

Watching all the news about the tornadoes last night I was thinking of you and hoping you were out of harm's way. *hugs*

Stopped early last night. There was a lot of reports of tornados south of Nashville. If we'd kept driving, we would've been right in the middle of it. I'd rather deliver late than not at all. Beautiful weather this morning though.

I run 30-40 km a week on a treadmill (can't run outside in Baghdad) along with other mind numbing high cardio activities (stair climber / rowing machine) in the gym and vaping has not hampered my cardio at all (and I vape like a work horse).

I don't know. I'm not convinced it's the insulator that is causing the leak. The center hole shoots right up to your coil. If it's leaking anywhere it's going to leak there first. The insulator is just keeping the center post from shorting out to the outside of the coil head. It's more likely a coil wrap problem or a wick problem. I also can't imagine how that insulator would get damaged anyway. It doesn't come in to contact with anything but the coil head housing. And even if it did rupture it's not a liquid seal, it's an electrical seal. The liquid is just going to come down the center post. Are you sure the coil head is screwed all the way down in to the base? There could be a burr in the threads preventing a good seal.

Oh I have one. Just not in picture. Its a beat up one that would have not looked so great in the picture with all the abuse it takes. Aircraft Mechanic here.

You didn't raise no dummy Ma!

Tam, don't worry, we all know you're both!

Hey! I'm right here you know.

per?

I use KTPs daily, and have dropped them with the several devices, at work (concrete) and have yet to break one...but just writing this is asking for it...!

CASAA Members and Non Members: Please email this press release to your local newspapers and news stations. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE WASHINGTON, April 28, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Last week, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released its long-awaited draft regulations for electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and other low-risk alternatives to smoking. The regulations offer little benefit, according to The Consumer Advocates for Smoke-free Alternatives Association (CASAA), the leading advocate for the current and future consumers of low-risk alternatives to smoking. However, CASAA believes that should the FDA finalize the rule in its current form, it will inflict devastating harm on consumers. “This is a classic case of government imposing a ‘solution’ and then looking for a problem,” said CASAA President Julie Woessner, J.D. “The regulations do nothing to address real concerns, and instead are a slow-motion ban of the high quality e-cigarettes that have helped so many smokers quit. The rules would mostly require busy-work filings that impose huge costs with little apparent benefit.” The proposed regulations are based on a faulty understanding of the science, reports CASAA Scientific Director, Dr. Carl V. Phillips. “FDA has cherry-picked the available evidence,” says Phillips, “blindly accepting any assertion that favors aggressive regulation and ignoring the overwhelming evidence about the harms that these regulations would cause.” Although the regulations do not openly ban the refillable devices that are preferred by experienced users, they impose a costly registration and approval process that would effectively eliminate them. Such registrations offer minimal benefits, but ensure that only a few large companies who mass-produce small and disposable products would be able to afford the necessary filings. Additionally, while the regulations do not immediately ban the variety of popular flavors for e-cigarette liquid, they signal an intention to do so in the future. “Our research and others’ shows that higher-quality hardware and appealing flavors are important for smoking cessation,” says Phillips. “Many former smokers report that they were always tempted to go back to smoking while using the smaller devices with imitation tobacco flavoring, but they quit smoking for good when they found better hardware and flavors that no longer reminded them of smoking.” It is estimated that as many as a million American smokers have quit or substantially reduced their smoking thanks to e-cigarettes, and many are already making plans for a black market if these regulations take effect. Those smokers who are using e-cigarettes in a transition stage could easily return to smoking--and future potential switchers may never be able to make the transition--if the restrictions on high-quality products are imposed. Woessner, who quit smoking thanks to e-cigarettes, fears such impacts. “If I had been limited to only those products that would exist under this regulation, I would probably still be smoking.” CASAA is preparing a response that will point out the flaws in the proposed regulations and is organizing its members and hundreds of thousand of other e-cigarette users in an attempt to persuade FDA about the harms this regulation would cause. Should that fail, it plans to fight the regulations in court. CASAA is a 501©(4) nonprofit, public health, membership NGO. It does not represent the interests of industry.

I love the fact that your avatar is a 2 wheeler.... lol Maybe the tin foil will help with the plane issues!? lmao Welcome to this crazy fun group of ours....

I been using a 24g dual macro coil build. I tried going back to a simple 28g twisted, then a 28g non twisted and a 30g twisted, but I can't vape those anymore, don't get the nice hot draws of them.... I been spoiled.

You're on my list Ma

Got my mod. It hits hard. Maybe even harder than the Stingray.

this was mid south Indiana where it took some mountain man skill to grow tobacco He never smoked it. It was common back then to grow tobacco to protect the garden but never bother smoking it.

I experimented a bit last night with these and found that in all the heads I have had issue with it is indeed the insulator that shows any damage. I even put in a new coil and chain vaped it to try and pull juice past the wick down past the air flow into the battery connection, not a dry hit or any liquid made it past. I agree that the insulator shouldn't be a liquid seal and that any issue should be with the upper o-ring as that is where the seal is actually made. Really not sure whats going on here guys. The only thing I can think to try is ordering a few of the rubber insulators, rebuilding the coils, and trying that. Other than that, my only recommendation would be that with Kanger heads, less is more. Put them in, and don't pull them out until the coil is bad and then replace them. That way there is not way they can get damaged.

Ok very dumb question but it needs to be asked. Are you screwing the coil into the base tightly? The reason I ask is a couple friends at work got KPT 2s at my suggestion and said they constantly flood and leak. It was because they were not screwing the coil into the base and just sitting the coil in the tank and screwing the base on top of it. I get mine as tight as my fingers will allow and find that works best for me. Not sure if this will help but felt it worth mentioning.

It doesn't seem to matter which battery. With a new coil in now I have zero issue. Running tanks empty. No leak.

Now why is it feeling more and more like a Duck Dynasty episode around here lately?

Have you thought about trying a mech mod instead of an APV? Or just a variable voltage battery? My Vision Spinners are all work horses and last a least a year or more with hard, constant use. My gold Magneto mech is wonderful, with a KPT2 and 1.8 ohm coils it hits like a freight train.

If you couldn't tell we've been seeing quite a few people building coils with little to no knowledge of ohm's law, no ohm meter, no idea about safety with batteries and they're checking their builds on APVs instead...we even had one using the wire from bread ties to build coils. It makes us a little twitchy.

I like my vtc5 but they go on charge when they hit 3.7v so that little extra ain't much

That one in front is the Hypertank. Good looking kanger coil tank!

So are these the dual bottom coil heads?

Okay hubby said he's not 100% if he's an admin on the steam chamber but he definitely is a member of that group!

Can never get all my kids together mvp and vv 3.0 is with wife

Real colored glass (Not painted or dyed) KPT Pro tank replacements and some Kanger Air flow controller bases.

Sony, Efest are good but for a mech, Sony, Panasonic, MNKE
