Tam got a reaction from Blair Vernon in HI I am Blair
Hi Blair. As I tell all non-smokers who are interested in vaping... not all long term studies have been done to assess whether vaping is completely safe or not. I would strongly suggest vaping for a smoker trying to quit, but for a non-smoker? My suggestion would be to not start vaping, but find something else that would interest you with possibly less chance of harming your health. Just my two cents.

Tam got a reaction from Christopher in Concern.
Much like smoking cigarettes when they first came out, there isn't any long term studies on the effects of vaping so we won't know if there will be any adverse consequences down the road.
If you're not a smoker trying to quit smoking cigarettes, and you're only wanting to start vaping to fit in with your co-workers or because it looks "cool." I would strongly recommend you find a different hobby, other co-workers who might have similar interests as you, and stay away from something that, although we believe it's safer than smoking, we still don't know the full effects it could have in the future.
That's my two cents. :)

Tam got a reaction from MRSpivey in New to box mods
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.

Tam got a reaction from MRSpivey in Dry Hits After Changing E-Liquids
Another thing you could try is to thin out your new eliquid. In your original post you said you used the 60VG/40PG with no problems. Your new juice is 70/30. If you can get some regular PG, I would take a little of the 70/30 juice and put it in a separate bottle to experiment so you don't screw up your whole bottle. If you don't have access to plain PG, get some distilled water (don't use tap), and add a few drops to 1 ml of eliquid and mix well. Then, try to vape to see if you're still getting dry hits. If so, add another few drops of distilled water to your eliquid and try again. I've done this with some of the old set ups when I first started vaping, it works well but you have to do it only a few drops at a time or you risk getting watery eliquid you can't fix or vape.

Tam got a reaction from joesmok99 in Need help with my Shortfills
What kind of tank are you using this on? What resistance coil? Is it a premade coil or an RDA? If it's premade, did you prime the coil/wick before vaping?
-

What mg of nicotine are you using? Also, what's the PG/VG and flavor ratio?

At the very least I hope they can nail him for theft across state lines.

Tam got a reaction from Walt in Drip liquid
If you're still smoking cigarettes and vaping along side, then 3 mg of nic in eliquid probably is too low. I would go up to a 6 mg, if I were you.
The Baby Beast drinks eliquid, which is why you're going through so much of it. If you're also vaping a lot at 3 mg, you'll go through that much more in order to satisfy your nicotine cravings.

Tam got a reaction from Christopher in E Juice Not Delivered
It's also unusual that a new forum member names himself/herself with the name of the eliquid vendor and posts the link to their site and then complains about their service. Please do not spam the forum with spammy links or you'll find your account banned. If you have a legitimate post, you're more than welcome on the forum. Thank you for your cooperation.

Tam got a reaction from Mark in Who's using a Pod system?
You rang?
First, congrats on your five year mark. I remember when you first came on to this forum... you've been missed lately.
I've been trying the pods lately. Like you, I'm tired of lugging around a fist sized brick although I do still use them at home.
The first pod I've tried is Vapor Talk's Amethyst with the nic salt pods. I'm in love with the size, it's perfect for stealth vaping and so easy and light to carry around. The mixed berry flavor is amazing (the kit comes with four pods - menthol, tobacco, mango and mixed berries). That said, it's small -- something like a 250 mAh? and the pods are small so they don't last long. I could live with that - to a point, but the major downside to it is that many of the pods leak ( @Christopher said they can be refilled but Vapor Talk doesn't sell the liquid by itself, you have to buy the pods). When it leaks enough to get into the battery part, the battery stops working. Chris is aware and said they're working on it but for now, the leaking pods being so expensive ($12.99 for a 4-pack), it's not my favorite although it easily could be if they fix the leak and sell liquid by itself.
Bought the SV MiPod, it's a little square thing with a refillable 1 ml pod. You can refill 5 - 7 times before the coil goes out. Of course, if you're using sweeter, darker juices... you know the drill. While it's cute, I'm very disappointed in the little button (five clicks on/off), it never turns off and the vapor is hot. I've burned my lips a couple times already despite changing out the pods -- of course I bought extras! This one is a no for me.
The GhoSTick is another pen style refillable pod system. The pod holds 1.5 mls of liquid, 2.0 ohm coil, 350 mAh battery and comes with the charge cord and two empty pods. All the pods take a minimum 50/50 juice. Any more VG and the coil burns up faster, too much PG and the pods leak, which is what I think is the problem with the Amethyst pods, it's too high in PG. Anyway, this is the winner so far for me. It's got refillable pods, it's a little longer than I'd like, the Amethyst's length is perfect but you give up battery life for shortness. I've been using this one a lot lately and have bought some of my favorite juices in 50/50 at 12 mg regular nic (higher nic so I don't vape it as much).
I have a SMOK Infinix on its way with some extra empty pods, they should be here tomorrow. It's very similar to the Amethyst so we'll have to see how that one works.
If I were to recommend one of the ones I've tried, so far I'd say try the GhoSTick and mix some juice to 50/50 and give it a whirl.

Tam reacted to Bebop in Who's using a Pod system?
yeah. the truth is I just want to vape less (horror!) be a little more stealthy, After 5 years I've got it down!..........well, sort of......😄
-
Tam reacted to Bebop in Who's using a Pod system?
just wanted to add. that's one thing I found in all me experience. at first I wanted cigarette flavor. then it evolved to vapor production. then I weaned myself down to 3mg where I sat for a long time. but I was vaping like a chimney. so went back to higher ohm coils and back to 6mg but I vape a lot less. and that's where I'm sitting today Vaping 6 on and .90 coil but only putting away 3 - 5 mils a day instead of 10 or 15 Haha.
yeah. I will report back what I find....

I'm interested in what you find while you experiment. You'll have to report back when you find something good.

Tam reacted to Bebop in Who's using a Pod system?
lol. I let you know how it goes, tam. I feel my wallet opening as we speak. I'm definitely going to give something a whirl while I'm out here.
I've heard that salt nic is less harsh. Only one I tried was a menthol though and I don't do menthols (although I have to admit , was exactly like a Kool that I remember). well I'll definitely get out and do some 'sperimenting.

First of all, we don't kick people off the forum just because we assume they're underaged. If you don't understand their question - no matter how much it might not make sense to you - that's on you. I understood it perfectly well.
Everyone is welcome here.
Even you.
