Uma reacted to Bebop in can't seem to find the answers I need, help anyone
I'm sorry. You are in way over your head at this point. So much, that your questions don't make sense and that is why you are not getting the answers that you want.
You are not understanding some basic concepts and those concepts have been explained in dozens of other threads that you can easily search and find on this website.
You need to buy yourself a pack of pre-made coils, get your favorite juice and sit down for a few hours and Read and understand what you are reading.
Please do this before you hurt yourself or others around you

Uma reacted to bcartervol98 in any tips please
Buy pre-made coils until you understand vaping basics.
You are trying to go from riding a tricycle to flying an airplane without all the steps in between imo.

Uma reacted to Compenstine in any tips please
Why are you trying to re wrap a coil for a pe-made coil head? The head already has a coil in it..... Are you asking how to wrap a coil around a coil? I'm confused as to what you are asking.

Uma reacted to joe2003 in any tips please
Tips:
1st- It isn't necessary to post the same question multiple times.
You've already gotten some good answers,if they weren't what you wanted to hear
ask for clarification. lol
2nd- Never vape a coil until you know the resistance unless you're an expert
coil builder.sub ohm builds can be disastrous if mishandled.
3rd- learn to vape on pre-built units until you know what your juices are supposed
to taste and vape like.Randomly building coils is a just practice until you have an idea what
you want from them and what will work well on your PV.
And a Q: How do you know it's a 3.2 ohm head if it hasn't been wrapped yet?
The coil determines the ohms not the unit it's being put in.
As far as tips on how to wrap the coils refer to your original post,they were asking q's to better
know how to help with your individual situation.If you just want general guidelines folks here can help
with that as well as youtube vids on techniques.
P.S. Different juices like different watts to perform their best,many don't work well at higher power etc.

Cinnamon flavours in e-cigarettes: how inappropriate research can misinform the public and the (amateur) professionals
By Dr Farsalinos
Considerable debate has been focused on the issue of cinnamon flavors after a study was published in a toxicology journal declaring that such flavored liquids are cytotoxic. Just one month ago, a study published by our group also found that a cinnamon-flavored liquid was slightly cytotoxic (although still 10 times less toxic that tobacco smoke). I have already sent a letter to the editor of Toxicology in Vitro raising concerns about the latest study they published on cinnamon, however due to significant misinformation spread throughout the social media, I decided to publish this comment.
First of all, it was surprising to see a vendor removing cinnamon flavors from his sales list. According to a well-known e-cigarette activist, When a juice maker that fills thousands of bottles a day does this - you should listen. My response to this is: If the juice maker who fills thousands of bottles a day knew what he was doing, he should have found out about it before any research was published. What I mean is that makers have no idea about the cytotoxicity of their products. They are doing no research, so how would they know? But it is even worse that they are making such moves (to remove cinnamon flavors) without even reading (or understanding) the research they quote.
Let me explain. The latest study by Talbots group discussed about the cytotoxicity of cinnamon flavors in e-cigarette. Interestingly however, IF SOMEONE READS THE PAPER, he will find that the researchers never used any e-cigarette. Moreover, they never produced vapor! They tested the liquids in liquid form, not in vapor. How can you support that the results have implications for e-cigarette users when no e-cigarette was used and no vapor was produced? However, there is a bigger mistake. The authors mentioned that they tested 8 refill liquids with cinnamon flavor. They mention the names of the liquids and the companies they got them from. After personally searching on the internet and communicating with some companies, I found out that 4 of the samples were concentrated flavors, not refills. The authors themselves found cinnamaldehyde (the substance giving the cinnamon flavor in the liquid) at levels that differed between samples by up to 100 times. This confirms what I found: some of their samples were concentrated flavors.
Finally, there is still another problem in their study. They tested the substance itself (cinnamaldehyde) to see how toxic it is. They found it toxic at levels 400 times lower than currently approved for food use. This is a very strange result and it is hard to explain how regulatory authorities have accepted cinnamaldehyde to be available at such high levels (of course, before the approval, several tests were performed and it was not found toxic).The authors have to explain why their findings contradict previous research.
As I mentioned above, a letter to the editor has been sent and is currently evaluated for publication. In short, the results of this study have nothing to do with e-cigarette use and are more applicable to cinnamon use in food (since they tested the liquid in liquid form and they used several concentrated samples). Besides that, the reactions from manufacturers show that, unfortunately, they cannot accept their ignorance and instead of asking an expert so that they get informed, they react in a way that produces panic to vapers, does nothing to protect consumers and only results in a game of public relations tactics. This is even more unfortunate than the mistakes in the research protocol. As a final note, let's not forget that research has shown cinnamon to have anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and maybe anti-cancer properties...

Uma reacted to Tam in Hello! Cal Journalist looking for Thoughts and Advice.
Welcome. I hope you are a true journalist who triangulates all sources and information before putting it in an article. E-cigarettes have helped a lot of people get off the traditional "analogs" and on to a more healthy lifestyle. I'd love to read your piece once you have it done.

FDA, CDC, a French study, all being debunked and how, why, by whom.
Big Pharma's grants to bribe towns, universities, states, etc into banning their strongest competition, the eCigs
156% ecig users were smokers, http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0079332

Uma reacted to dannyk in EU emergency
I can't help but think this is all coming about due to the amount of tax the government are losing from people switching over to e-cigs.
When you consider just me as an individual I was on around 20 a day, that would amount to around £200+ per month just on cigarettes the government would take 80% of that. Now imagine a million people doing the same thing !
So either way you look at it the government will try and do something just to try and get back there 80%
The thieving *****
Just my 2P worth

Uma reacted to Compenstine in Commission proposal for the regulation of e-cigarettes
Posted comment:
I have said it before and I will say it again, You can't Regulate/Ban something that can be 100% DIYed. They would have to regulate all flavoring companies, all companies selling glycerin and polypropylene glycol, all Kanthal wire, all flashlights, all glass tubing...etc It is just not practical. It would start a new black-market creating more issues. I say sit all these people down in room give them all a pack of cigarettes and an E-gig. Tell them they have a choice to smoke the whole pack or the whole Tank before leaving the room. They are forcing people that did smoke cigarettes back to them by banning E-cigs. It is really brilliant to ban e-cigs and condemn millions to cancer and the effects of second hand smoke.

Uma got a reaction from LuckiStarre in Why We Choose To Vape....
I dont want to see the next generation smoking ... thats why i vape. I'd much rather see a minor see what the fuss is all about, get bored, and walk away without addiction, than to see that minor experiment with a cigarette and be imprisoned for life. The nicotine in an ecig is delivered at lower and slower paces than it is in a traditional. After a minor tastes these, then try a traditional, theyll never pick up another traditional again., they taste horrible in comparison.
Save the children, via vaping. Put the smoke tax money back in the family budget, keep a roof over their head, keep your job.
We DO care for the children, unlike the antz who want to deny shelter, employment, health care, insurance if anyone even looks at something that is not run by big pharma and the fda.

No problem!!
As long as the cinnamon used is water based (as most of us are aware) and not oil based with cinnamondehyde(sp) we should be good to continue rotating.
Signs that a flavor might not be right for you personally:
1. Sore, dry throat even when well hydrated
2. Coughing when other Flavors don't trigger a cough. (Newbies, still need to learn the proper way for them to draw, expel, inhale, exhale, even with non flavored, so not talking about newbie cough).
3. Mouth ulcers (might be sensitivity to a flavor)
4. ?
Listen to your body, like with all things we do.
