Thanks guys. I told her all of you guys advice and she is finding vaping much easier. She has now gone just over 1 month without smoking, so we are both really happy with her progress

Starting a new mod company. Calling it Last Vape.

To add to the idiocy -- let's just ignore all the years people have been vaping before this "crisis" came up and we're all healthier than we've ever been... but don't let facts get in your way. SMH

The Independent published this article from a doctor. He is saying what we've known and is actually using common sense. I'm an American doctor. Here's the truth about Juul, vaping and legalizing marijuana https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/juul-ban-flavors-vaping-marijuana-legalize-a9161971.html

I work with a girl who's SO became deathly ill "due to vaping". (When I questioned her, she admitted that it was black market THC her SO was vaping EXCLUSIVELY for a week, when she became ill and then CONTINUED TO VAPE THE STUFF!) Some of the other employees were blasting vaping on the spot because of this person's illness. So I posed the question, "ok, if vaping as a whole is responsible, why am I not ill or dead? I've been vaping for nearly 6 years." The room got totally silent. Then I explained, that I KNOW what's in my juice, because I make my own. What they NEED to be upset about is WHAT this person vaped and WHERE they got it, NOT with vaping as a whole. A few of the employees actually apologized, stating, if they had known that there was black market/tainted juice out there and that could have been the cause of the illness, they would have kept their mouths shut. I just reminded them there is always more to every situation than just what you hear/see on the surface, get the facts before you blow off steam.

The latest CDC report 26 dead and 1200 ill. but then they say only 75% confirmed THC. so, what, the other 25% are liars?...... of course, I'm being facetious, I have no doubt that some of the deaths may have involved vapers with pre-existing health issues and were nowhere near THC. but I wouldn't be surprised if the numbers are fudged here. I just watched a news interview with a couple who's college age daughter got I'll "by vaping" - 5 minutes of the girl's parents professing the innocence of their sweet little girl and when the interviewer pressed further, "oh well, there was that one time when we caught her vaping THC but we believe her that she is not doing it now"......right..... I don't want it to seem like I have no sympathy for these people who are actually suffering from this. I do. It's a terrible tragedy. But the truth will set us free (get ti the bottom if this). Is that too much to ask?

Hey Vapor Talkers, In an effort to keep spammers in check and to ensure new members take a few moments to get acquainted with Vapor Talk's features, all new members will be required to have 3 posts before being placed into the unrestricted 'VT Member" group. How does it work? What limitations will I have when I first join the forum? When first joining the forum you be limited to posting in these sub forums: Introduce Yourself New Vapers Forum Site Features, Requests and Help Vapor Talk Store Support Forum After 3 posts, you will automatically be moved into the standard user or "VT Member" group. From there you can post on the forum normally. But how do I get three posts? What if I don't have a question? What if I want to reply on another topic! The easiest method is to simply introduce yourself (see the Introduction Forum). Say hello! At the very least, a staff member will reply. You're also free to ask a question about your new device in the New Vapers Forum. I can't find the forums you mentioned This is partly why we have this minimal restriction. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the forum. This ensures you post in the correct area (ensuring your questions or topic is answers faster) whilst easing the workload on our awesome forum admins and moderators. I feel... feel so chained. I just want to ask my question. We know, we get it. But unfortunately, when dealing with a forum of this size, spam can be a real hassle. We're quite good at spotting it and removing it quickly. But this makes it much easier for us to keep spam limited to a single area. It makes clean up easy. We appreciate it. Feel free to start a new topic and jump in. Vapor Talk is well known for it's friendly members, help us keep that vibe going. If you run into any issues, please don't hesitate to contact a staff member.You may also want to take a moment to view the forum rules.

Check this little bugger out! It's about the size of a lipstick tube. 20700 hybrid mech pipe bomb. Great for collecting finger prints.

@Tam and @Walt are correct... Increasing the volume of creamy flavors (Vanilla, Malted Milk, Cream, Ice Cream, etc.) will reduce the "bite" of the fruit flavors. Like Walt, I've found that certain brands of fruit flavors are much harsher than others, and some of the "candy" flavors are very citrus-acidic and artificial tasting (just like Tam said). I also prefer Capella and TFA (The Flavor Apprentice) fruit flavors over others.... CAP are some of the best IMO... I would also suggest lowering the candy flavor (or eliminating it all together) and play with the ratio of Blueberry and malted-milk/ice-cream flavorings until you find the right balance. Mix in 5ml - 10ml batches until you find the ratio you like best... then you can make gallons if it if you wish

Nice review! I just have a few questions, though. What kind of connection does it take to charge? Is it a micro USB or C connection? I couldn't tell from the pictures. Also, does it just work by taking a puff, no power button? If just a puff, how hard is the draw and is there any way to adjust the airflow? Overall, it looks pretty interesting.

I haven't been doing reviews for long, so I don't have a whole lot of shiny stuff, but when there is something in there that I don't really like for some reason and don't use at all I just give it away to friends or colleagues

I miss the days when something new came out we always had someone review it here guess thats why I have a closet full of "shiny stuff"

Sometimes it takes a little while for everything to catch up to your post count. Glad it works for you now.

A Vision Spinner 2 is just the battery part (the lower part with the on/off button). The tank that holds the eliquid and screws in on top of that is what has a coil inside that will need periodic replacement, what you're calling a 'cart'. If you're using a pre-filled cart/tank, they come preinstalled with the coils inside and it does not need to be replaced. Not knowing exactly the type and style of 'cart' you're using, I can't give you more specifics than that but all the pre-filled units I'm familiar with, none of them have coils that can be replaced, they're all one piece. That said, I'm also not familiar with any all-in-one carts that are used with Vision Spinners, only tanks. Good for you to start vaping instead of smoking.

@TamCongratulations on your upcoming retirement! Take the time for yourself! You deserve it. I did take some time off but probably should have taken more!

Congrats on your retirement, @VapeMama! I just put my notice of retirement in a few weeks ago and my last day of work will be June 30th. Trying to get everything done so I can leave with a clean slate is keeping me very busy right now but my plan is to work extremely hard at doing absolutely NOTHING for the whole month of July. After that, plans are to tear into my apartment one room at a time to clean and purge and reorganize. Can't wait! Have fun with the kids and grandkids! I bet they keep you very busy.

I haven't been to town in a week and a half, place could be overrun with zombies for all I know. Out where I live people tend to stock up on stuff, normally we have 2 or 3 months worth of food in the freezer or on the shelf. We have no reason to go anywhere so are just staying home.

Used, or tried to, the same rationale when talking to a couple people I know. Tried to talk them into at least trying vaping to get rid of all their coughing and hacking. Might as well have been talking to a sack of hammers. Some wise man once said ...... "you just cant fix stupid".

Here is yet another interesting article: Illegal vapes traced to California woman who was CBD pioneer https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/illegal-vapes-traced-california-woman-050227876.html

Hey! Hoping everyone is having a good holiday. I'm 5+ years tobacco free and feeling good about that! I never thought I'd ever kick that nasty habit but thanks to vaping I did.

Have a good holiday weekend Bebop!

I like the look of that mod.

There's simply no better RDA on the market. The Profile is miles above anything else out there. Best flavor, vapor production, ease of use, ramp up time, etc. I'm a huge fan of the Goon v1, but the Profile makes the Goon seem anemic. BTW - OFRF nexMESH strips make the Profile even better.

I got it out it was a piece of rubbery material to support the glass when they're shipping it I believe Thank you! I was hoping it wasn't another invasive species from China.

need more info. do you build your own coils? only store bought? are you a heavy vaper? like lots of vapor and power? what are the specifics on your beloved set up? what resistance? what wattage do you set? how much do you vape? what nicotine content do you use?

Man, but I wish I were a bot! That way I wouldn't be so freakin' tired all the time.

I found this one to give very good results https://youtu.be/9QwOcppIfZE

If you change your settings from TC to watts, you might get a better vape from your mod and tank. I'd start around 20 watts and take a puff. If that's not doing it for you, go up a few watts and try again until you get a harsh vape or a slight burnt taste. Back it down a touch and you should have your sweet spot for that coil. Just a thought.

Thats shiny! I have yet to try sqounker, but then at work or don't have time lol.I keep my stuff that runs with no issue, griffin 25 + merlin.

So the point of the salt nic is to deliver high nic without being harsh? If that's the case, then I need to stop thinking I need to try it. About 3 months ago I started cutting 3mg in half. Been trying to reduce my nic intake since March of 2011 when I started vaping.

I got it figured out. I was making sure I wasn't going to hurt the tank...silly I guess when that is what it is built for . Everything is running just fine. Thank you ! This thing is a bit of a bugger to wick!

What about baking Pies talk

I was just making fun of my own lower power setting, @Walt.

Holy Crap! You're a machine today. Let's see, I've been up for about an hour and a half and I've stared at the PC monitor a lot. I did build one TC coil and tested a Cylon. I found out it runs about 40°F hot. Also discovered another battery bit the dust. 100% Sag right off the charger. Probably time to replace that one, lol.

Thx guys, def getting a good charger then. Your advice is very appreciated.

Good for you! The "wicks" that you speak of are included inside the 0.4 ohm V8 Baby-Q2 Dual Core and the 0.15 ohm Octuple core. These two coils (or "cores" as identified here), are already pre-built heating coils with wicks included inside.

Yup, and then you can be like me, living under an overpass in a box. A big box with a lot of mods and atties!!!! Just kidding, @Tam has got it right. Always be prepared!

@Tam nailed it. Nobody can tell you which you will like. It's also a pretty tall order to do a full comparison of the two devices. I suggest you google the two with the word "review" after them and look for video reviews. Three reviewers that I like to watch are DJLSB Vapes, PBusardo, and Mike Vapes. Zophie vapes is pretty good to come to think of it. The rest to me are just salesmen.

250 mil 100mg nic of, 1oz blueberry by loranne,1 oz raspberry by Loranne,1 dram strawberry by loranne,1 oz tart and sour boost by loranne.

Nope, not a good idea. Listen to the wise words of @Squid, @Rixter and @Walt. They give good advice to not use the batteries you currently have. Go get three new batteries of the same make and model, it's much cheaper to do that than to pay a hospital bill.

I'm going to do you a huge favor and not answer that. You have to understand what you are doing with a mech mod.

We just got back from visiting them over the holidays... she's getting so big and is starting to want to play and trying to crawl!

Welcome back! I'd guess just about everything, lol. Layers upon layers of sophistication along with every gimmick people could think of. Flashing lights, touch screens, vibrators, clocks. I heard one unconfirmed tale of an mp3 player. But the basics are the same. Still dangle some cotton in juice. Push a bunch of electrons through a wire to heat up the juice. Inhale the vapor! Have fun getting re-introduced. You may be surprised at the options.

Walt is right on. I can just tell you what I do. I stick with Clapton's or fused Clapton's. I build to .28 to .35. I use a ohm meter to build on like the coil master 521 and if not sure I will check the build on a regulated mod to be sure. I will be hunting for a dead rabbit on Black Friday. What I do works for me on a series mod. Duel coil. As long as you hit the right ohms you will be ok. More ohms is better till you learn. Have fun

Bravo! and Welcome! This is the place to draw from the experience of other vapors for sure.

@Tam preached that to me when I first started. I'm getting close to 30 mods now. They're taking over!!!

Thanks so much for the well wishes. It is better than yesterday. Headed in the right direction!! Brought a bottle of IBprofin and a heating pad to work. I'll get it under control soon. Hows the ankle?

I'm surprised that I haven't seen any posts on the VOOPOO DRAG. It's a great performing dual 18650 Mod. Very accurate and well built. Response time (push of fire button to full power) is amazing. Max Wattage is 157 Watts and TC is accurate too. I have one and I really like it. Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
