Now that I'm back in an office (not working from home), I have had LOTS of opportunities to talk to even more people about vaping! One of my co-workers had tried vaping a while back, and basically started out with an over-priced eGo from a smoke-shop... no support, no knowledge, and obviously gave it up rather quickly... She was asking about what I used, and what would be good for her to get started again. She wasn't really wanting to spend another $100 and get nothing out of it, so I set her up with one of my iStick 20W and a KPT2 as a loaner. I went with her on lunch today and helped her pick out a juice at the local vape shop, which fortunately was only a couple blocks from the office. I showed her how to adjust the Voltage / Wattage, disassemble the tank, fill the tank, change the coils, etc., and I also gave her a handful of coils I had re-built @ 2.2 Ohm (which are perfect for the iSticks!). Well, she just sent me an email, asking if I would sell her the iStick and tank, because she doesn't want to give them back She's hooked! She also wants me to go back with her tomorrow, so she can buy another battery and more tanks/coils/juice. I told her the blue iStick and KPT2 would be my gift to her, and I had a silver one I'd sell her for what I paid for it (from the VT store), to save her some $ over retail.... So, I guess tomorrow we'll be off to the vape shop again for more juice and additional tank shopping, lol. I think I'm nearly as excited as she is

It's okay Jason... I hear there's a 12-step program just for us... 12 steps to this vape store... 12 steps to the next vape store... 12 steps to the computer...

Aw, and I was going to guess: If you're going to ride my @$$, at least pull my hair. Honest to God, that was the bumper sticker on a mini van full of Mom and four kids this morning. Nearly went into a ditch I was laughing so hard.

For one thing, Tam drives an Impala, not a mini van. Tam also does not have kids. Tam is also looking around so she can get this same sticker for her own car. I'm not one for stickers or anything on my vehicles (most especially NOT bumper stickers!), but I may make an exception for this one.

Got my custom built stand from Earthling,he did a fantastic job!

guy I work with...

Dagnabbit, Tam. Now I want me one of them 50watters. It's dangerous prowling around in here.....

If I could "like" that post a hundred times, I would. Lol

Next month... maybe Right now I'm still trying to figure out what to do with all of IPV-minis, and these two Cloupor minis... Sheesh, now I need more 18650's!

Stop it! You know I have a problem, and you're just encouraging me

Yep, although you have a hard time finding them lately, amongst all those IPV-minis and iStick collection [you're welcome, BTW]

My good man do you mean cat hair?? I was not aware car's had hair...lol

Do a little here, a little there... The hard part is waiting for the stain to dry, or sanding the cat hair out of the polyurethane

Learn to walk before you try to run. There's nothing wrong with a pen-style battery, they're good, dependable no-fuss batteries perfect to get to know your way around. When you're more comfortable and have learned about different coils, ohms, cleaning, maintenance, etc. then, you can easily move to the next level.

Verify exactly what the batteries are. No "think" about it. The battery must be rated higher than 35amps on that .12 build. (.12 is too low for somebody who doesnt know what he's doing!) See thread where guy who didn't know what he was doing blew up his hand (and got lucky he moved it away from his face!!)

Sea Ray 330 Sundancer, put in a lot of hours for this baby lol.

Coil-Master coiling kit review:

Pull over and go to Starbucks. Talk about race relations with the barista. Go back to car and fill up my tank and head out back on the highway.

None of the above... I just grab my spare rig, and worry about re-filling later If I'm on the bike, I'd first have to wonder how I was vaping and riding at the same time... I'd worry less about it being a "dry-hit", or at least worry about it secondly!

I think I see a bottle of booger sugar lmao jk Hooker.

Tam we all know your all three of those freaks. Just like the rest of us!...lol

6 more rolls of insulation ta put in this eve..

Black is the one I have now. My next one's going to be blue.

If you're seeing smoke, then you've got a problem. It's "vapor" we're blowin', friend.

The Wattage range will depend on the juice. Some juices will go up to 20W without tasting burnt or even "hot", and some will start to get that burnt taste at 11W. There is no "one size fits all", which is why devices are variable, and why there are so many choices in coil resistances If that juice tastes good at 12W, then that is where you should leave your setting. If you try to go higher, bump it up a tiny bit, try it, bump it again, try it, etc. Once you start to taste a little "burnt", then back off your setting a bit... 0.2W or more, and that is the "sweet-spot" for that juice. And, yes, pushing any coil at high wattages will shorten their life-span, but also, it depends on the coil...

nice Christopher,, if that old desk could talk imagine the stories it would tell... glad my Baitshop's old bench/desk cant talk cuz it. would be ALL censored!!! like the kiddos artwork in the background,, I remember our fridge looking like that... Tug's desk on yer screen looks toooooooooo organized!!!

^^^Might have to add that to the list of all the other toys in my sights.

I have a Tens unit that I use,I crank that thing up to 60 and leave it on most of the day.I take baths instead of showers because it relaxes me and it's just awesome and lay on a heating pad at night.sometimes I'll bust out the ice pack

No judging here, Tug. Just needed that giggle, though. Thanks. Hope your back feels much better soon. Ice for 15 minutes. Heat for 15 minutes. Another dose of pain meds. For the first two, lather, rinse, repeat as necessary. *pets*

That istick 50w is really nice,my friend let me take a few toots off of his with a Subtank mini.It was amazing

Thanks! I've got two good friends at that office that smoke like freight-trains... I watched one of them smoke three Camels today (by lighting only one) while on a break. They're my next projects!!

As much as I love the IPV mini and mini2, the Eleaf iStick 50w is blowing them all away for performance and versatility. May need to get another or two... Just saying.

You say you "unplug it" but do you unscrew it off your charger? I found that unplugging doesn't help, it's only when you unscrew it off the charger, wait 10 seconds or so then rescrew it back on that seems to reset the weird charging cycle.

Hahaha lol...cats can be a pain sometimes

Hahaha... yes, I meant CAT hair, lol... stupid auto-spell.... I told Tug that his stand would be delayed a couple days because my cat had decided it would be a good idea to lay on it (about 4-5 hours after applying the last coat of satin)... I would have loved to have seen the look on his face when he stood up and that big chunk of wood followed him off the table Seeing that would have made the extra time spent sanding and re-applying polyurethane worth every minute!!

Welcome Reasoned. Couldn't agree with Tam and Bebop more. Start higher and work your way down gradually. If you were a 1 1/2 pack a day and 12mg of nicotine are not cutting it go up to 18mg. Find yourself a good tank to go with that spinner that is easy to maintain. Like a KangerTech Aerotank. Coils can be fairly inexpensive. Especially if you get them online. Always look for genuine never buy ones that claim to be and are knock-offs. Check the Vaportalk Store or check out the suppliers forums, there are good online stores there, like Sweet-vapes. Ah crap didn't read you post fully. From what I understand the Ego1 is a good newer one. The spinners can be a good back-up, as you have already found out and Tam will repeat this a hundred times, "you need back-ups for your back-ups." Wait she already has. LOL.

^^^Yup Yup!!! No you won't have to endure at all. With a vv/VW mod you can adjust the power. If you go straight to a mech mod watch out...lol Or just take small hits at the start. Also if you don't build sub ohm it won't hit as hard either...At least from my experience...

I just checked for ya. I put it in the Vaping in the News section... Read it and make your friend read it too...

Welcome to VT. You came to the right place. A lot of good people here and I've learned a lot just in the last few days.

^^^ Nope...but I like for mine to match as close as possible.

Welcome to VT. Ask questions and you'll get your answers here.

I honestly can't tell any difference in performance between the two. For me, it really just comes down to what fits best in whichever RDA I'm building in. At the moment: Veritas - dual vertical Infinite CLT V1 - dual horizontal Igo-W - dual horizontal IGO-L - single horizontal Smok Dripper - single vertical

Thanks George

I have a couple of those George.

Good job Tug. The long piece of kanthal reminded me of a pain in the a$$ cat that just keeps knocking things over on a desk. LOL Very nice to see how this actually works.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner folks!

this is what I enjoy as my 18650 setup. the combo is incredible..it hits and puffs like a choo choo train !! Only wished i had 2 more tops and switches to use the other 2 bodies
