Gotta be better than 2015!

Yeah, I normally just copy the address from the browser and paste it into the body of the post, but it would only let me put it as text with a link, so I right-clicked on the actual video and chose "copy video URL", but that didn't work either.

Funny video though.

Thanks, Tam. I don't know what went wrong, but I sent a screen shot of the offending page to the "Report a bug or problem" section.

I'm missing some of the formatting options on the Create New Topic text box, and I can't post YouTube videos, either.
All the formatting options are available in the reply section, but I still can't post a YouTube video...just the link to it.

The issue with pure pg is that it doesn't carry flavor very well. You can try to add water but you'll have to bump up the flavor regardless. I use a mod with a 2650 battery. You might try to introduce pg a little at a time. Making your own vape makes all of this a hella of a lot easier and a world cheaper. But if you're new, you're probly buying it. In that case, request higher intensity flavor with the percentages drop down box when you order. G'luck and contrats on your doin away w/the evil weed!

Did you order the version 1 or 2, Rix?
V1...V2 seems like too much of a pain to get the heat sink unscrewed to fill the tank. Nobody I know that has a V1 has had any problems with the center tube getting stuck like I heard you guys talking about.

Today I bought two Aspire Tritons for $31.28 shipped ($15.64 each) from GearBest's U.S. warehouse. My dad and the missus both have one and they love 'em, so I figured, for that price, I'd order a couple of extras as backups (who am I kidding? I want one, too
).

Don't vape while filling your car with Gas. It may not cause an issue, but remember it is a hot coil and any spark could cause a fire.

How The Media Totally Exaggerated Study On Risk Of ‘Popcorn Lung’ From E-Cigarettes

This guy really seems to know about the chemistry of eliquid. If you're interested, you can find more of his YouTube videos here.

From the website:
"FlavourArt is proud to be the first flavour company in North America to publicize Enthalpy testing results. We are committed to professionalism, community support, advocacy and research towards the betterment of the vaping industry. This is our third party lab analysis of our complete North American flavour compendium conducted by Enthalpy Labs in June/July of 2015."
"The head PHD at Enthalpy was quoted as saying that our results are "amazing”, however we are never satisfied and continue to work at making safer aromatic flavours for eliquid use."

I found this online just a few minutes ago.
From Capella:
Please note that we are just the Flavor company. However, many of our customers use our flavor concentrates in their e-liquid recipes. I have provided a list below of all of our flavors that do not contain the small trace of Acetoin and Acetyl Propionyl. None of our flavors contain Diacetyl.

Recently there have been many requests for the removal of Acetoin and Acetyl Propionyl from the flavors. We have made a company decision to accept this request and remove these ingredients from our flavor line for your industry.
Because our flavors are being used by many different industries, this request does not apply to everyone, therefore we are leaving our "Original" version and will release what we call the "Version 2, or V2" as its listed on the website.
The RF stands for - Reduced flashpoint. These concentrates are mostly for worldwide shipping. Some of our flavors are flammable, and with those flammable flavors comes a hazmat fee. We are trying to steer away from having our products flammable. So we made an RF version for shipping purposes mostly for International Customs.

In light of recent revelations regarding e liquids and flavorings that contain Diacetyl, Acetoin, and/or Acetyl Propionyl, I decided to start a thread where DIYers could post results of their findings about flavors they've researched.
I'm currently waiting on responses from several suppliers that I use regularly, and as soon as I receive some information, I'll post it here. I urge other DIYers to do the same.
Also, I'm sure that Diacetyl, Acetoin, & Acetyl Propionyl aren't the only things we need to be looking out for in our juices, so if anyone has anything they'd like to share on other potentially dangerous ingredients, feel free to share that information as well.

Assuming that you fully understand Ohm's Law, if you are able to confirm your atty's .3Ω resistance with an ohmmeter, then that probably isn't the problem. The main thing is to make sure that your battery can put out more continuous amps than your load is pulling, and if you're unsure of your battery's legitimacy, then you can't know if it can do that. I personally avoid the Sony VTCs solely because there are so many fakes out there.
As far as higher amp safety fuses, I really don't know of anything any higher than the VapeSafe.
In fact, due to a venting battery a few months ago, I shelved all of my mechs in favor of regulated box mods. I've heard of quite a few mechs blowing up over the years, but I've yet to hear of a single regulated box mod popping.
BTW...what mod are you referring to in the OP?
-
One more thing...due to their limited availability and high price, Sony VTCs are probably the most faked/counterfeited batteries on the planet. The fakes could have decent cores, or they could be accidents waiting to happen. Many legit dealers have been fooled into stocking the fakes in the past (or so I've heard). Here's a link from BudgetLightForum.com that might help in distinguishing fakes from the real deal.
Here's another informative article from Sun Vapers:

Sorry...I didn't see the original post about the .3Ω load and Sony VTC4. I just saw the post about the mech mod.
Anyway, if I'm not mistaken, the Smoke Vapesafe Fuse (if that's what you're using) is a 7A fuse, and .3Ω on a fresh (4.2v) battery is around 14A, so that's why it's cutting you off. As far as your other issues, I have no clue.
-
What is the resistance of your atomizer and what battery are you using?
-
When in temp control mode, it shouldn't matter how high you set your wattage...your device is going to drop back on power (watts) when the coil reaches your preset temp (Fahrenheit or Celsius ). The only thing that setting your power to a higher level does is get you to your preset temp faster (less ramp up time).
Also, a good place to start with your temp settings is at or below the flash point of dry cotton (420°F or 215°C).
Steeping Juice In A Hurry
in General eLiquid Discussion
Posted · Edited by Rixter
I just wanted to show a side-by-side comparison of the same bottle of freshly-made e liquid before and after hot water steeping in a Rival® 2-quart Slow Cooker. After one hour at ~135°F. the change in color and flavor is on par with the same flavor that has been "closet steeped" for weeks.
