As neRo9k said if you want something along the lines of the 905 get a Screwdriver. I have one and I like it allot. Although I did have a pocket scare with it once. I put the cap over the switch without realizing that the switch button had backed off. The cap pushed the button down and turned the SD on unattended. The atty got so hot it melted the cartridge. Blew a pretty new atty on that one. If you get a Screwdriver check your switch often. As 3.7v devices go the SD is among the very best but that switch fastener is it's achilles heel. Oh Totally Wicked has a nice leather holster that looks like it would forgo the need to really use the switch cap. I have to get one soon so I can verify this though.

It depends on the day I am having but on a busy day I vap about 1.5 Ml of 18mg, but on a lazy day I can vap about 4ml of 18mg just blowing vapor rings. There are variables though, in a cigarette most of the nicotine is burned off so you only get a fraction of the nicotine available at any given time. Any vaporizer on the other hand works at a much lower temperature than a analogue's cherry so you sould get more of the available nicotine in a comparable drag. Then there are device variables. A mini-cig has less volts to throw at it's atty so it should burn off less of the nicotine but takes longer to get to temperature so it gives a smaller overall hit, (at least my EVO sure does), where a 5v should burn off more nicotine despite it giving a bigger hit. Also there are the new variables like low resistance atties and HV atties and I have not had a chance to try either of those. This is all speculation on my part as I am no scientist. What would be interesting is if we could get one of the puffer machines they use to test nicotine concentrations per hit and rig it to test personal vaporizers. you sure have given me allot to think about though mcquinn.

So here I am a Safety Officer, (that's what they call me), on a college campus here in Phoenix Arizona. I got an email the other day about the notion of smoking ban on all Maricopa county college campuses. I know these people as I work for them and they tend to knee jerk allot. I will not be surprised they ban any and all things nicotine related. This is the email You're Invited: PC Smoking Issues Taskforce on April 7 Thursday, April 1, 2010 4:27 PM From: "StudentLife" <student.life@pcmail.maricopa.edu> To: dl-pc@memo.maricopa.edu Have you witnessed smoking issues on the Phoenix College campus? The PC IGNITE Student Team invites you to: A Campus Tobacco Issues Taskforce Meeting Wednesday, April 7th 11:30am-12:30pm C-102, Science Building Students, faculty, staff and classes are welcome to voice their opinions about smoking issues on the Phoenix College campus. Let your voice be heard, take a stand, tell us your concerns, make a difference!!! Smokers and non-smokers are welcome! Can't make it?? Send us your thoughts on campus smoking to pcbearsden@gmail.com. IGNITE stands for the Influence, Guide & Network for Intercollegiate Tobacco Education. This campus-based program is funded by a grant awarded by the Maricopa County Tobacco Use and Prevention Program (MCTUPP). The mission of IGNITE is to arm all young adults and high school students with the knowledge and tools to reject tobacco, and to create a Tobacco Taskforce comprised of students, staff and faculty to address tobacco related issues on college campuses. For more information about IGNITE visit: http://fighttobreatheright.org/ For more information about our PC IGNITE Student Promotions Team contact the Office of Student Life & Leadership at 602-285-7231. While this email is specific to the Phoenix College campus this is something being done all over Maricopa county. Here is a comments page for a local news channel that ran a story on the ASU smoking ban, http://www.abc15.com...cspx?p=Comments I already sent them an email about personal vaporizers as a healthier alternative to smoking but i am still worried. What should I do? Activist is something I never added to my resume so I am at a loss for how to get the ball rolling. Any advice is more than welcome.

My Screwdriver is designed to work with the 901 and I have three atties that I have broke in for it. Once broke in I like the 901 better than my 510 atty. I think the primer is the issue. I'm nigh near a chain vaper, (I like to blow rings), and it has taken me on average a day to break one in. This is way off topic but I need to get a dedicated 510 device and give that atty a good shake. I've heard such good things about 510's being great all-rounders yet I am unimpressed when I use my 510 with an adapter equipped screwdriver.

Well I tried to post my comment but they said there was a problem with the document ID. I will try again. If you are interested, (and so I can copy and paste it to the Regulations.gov site again at a later time), this is what I wrote... It would be an inherently hypocritical stance for the FDA to ban the use of personal vaporizers for the consumption of nicotine without the ban of traditional cigarettes. My debate is not that nicotine is in anyway good for human consumption but that traditional burned cigarettes are far more harmful to the public at large. As it now stands the perception of those who have left tobacco for vaporizers of the FDA and it's continued attempts are ban personal vaporizers are negative in the extreme. First; because there is little regulation of the personal vaporizer industry it is not perceived as the tax cash cow that traditional cigarettes are. Second; continued attempts to ban and vilify the personal vaporizer underscore just how far the FDA has gotten into bed with Philip Morris by way of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. Third; the FDA cares more to shore up the interests of the pharmaceutical companies that provide nicotine replacement therapies like GlaxoSmithKline who now hold a seat on the Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee. Fourth; that the FDA does not care about the heath or interests of the consumer because the consumer will breed more tax payers anyways, think about the food additives they allow like "caramel color" which is a by product of the fuel/oil process, and *Yellow 5 and Red 40 which are widely used artificial colorings that are linked to hyperactivity and behavior problems in children (*Sourced from Center for Science in Public Interest article: CSPI Urges FDA to Ban Artificial Food Dyes Linked to Behavior Problems). In the end where many real doctors have endorsed personal vaporizers as a way to reduce the risks associated with smoking and even quitting nicotine altogether where the FDA continues to seek ways to discourage, denigrate and outright ban the use of personal vaporizers. Of course I ran too long and did not get enough space to post the benefits of personal vaporizers as compared and contrasted with tobacco but I can easily add that in a second post at a later time, although the real doctors comment at the end makes for a strong segue.

That is a great idea and could be an interesting project. Brass would probably be safer as a filler medium but I need to research how it performs long term and how corrosive PG and VG are to it.

I have a Screwdriver and cherish it, but it seems like I have to refill the carts allot. I noticed that the cartridge fillers used by Totally Wicked don't seem to leave allot of room for the juice. I took the filler out and it is pretty much the fiber fill version of a felt mat. Here's what I did and I would like your opinion. I cut off one top corner at an angle and stuffed it home. It filled with liquid quicker but I still had to reload allot. After a little frustration I took the filler out again and trimmed the tinniest amount off the side that I had already I cut at an angle. This worked better but still had to drop pretty frequent. So a couple days later during a deep clean I took the filler cleaned and stretched it out, (fluffed it), trimmed it back to size with the 'quick fill' angle on one of the top corners. Now there is less filler but there seems to be enough to supply the surface tension needed to keep the juice in place and I top off less often. While I have not seen any evidence that the atty is getting flooded I worry that I could be damaging the atomizer. Do any of you think this can hurt my 'Driver in any way?
