Earthling789 got a reaction from Patricia in EVOD Glass starter kit
EVOD is plastic tank, plastic tip, and single-coil (cheaper)
EVOD2 is plastic tank, removable metal tip and dual-coil
EVOD2 Glass is glass tank, removable metal tip and dual-coil
Dual-coils burn a tiny bit more juice per "hit", and produce a tiny bit more vapor... they're also a bit more expensive (50% to 100% more cost).
The EVOD2 Glass are basically the same as a ProTank3 mini, with the difference of a metal shield around the tank on the EVOD version, and the PT3 mini is capable of full disassembly

Earthling789 got a reaction from LOSTSOUL VAPORZ in Thoughts on vaping around children?
I'm of a different mind-set, I guess. Children are more curious about things that are "hidden" from them, so the more you hide, the more curious they become. My children were brought up around all kinds of dangers, yet they were never hidden from them (farm implements, machinery, tractors, motorcycles, knives, guns, bow/arrow, smoking, etc.), they know and understand the dangers around them. Which is one of the reasons I finally stopped smoking... for my kids (as much as me)... they understood the danger and how bad it is for you, and I realized what a horrible example I had become for them by telling them, "do as I say, not as I do".
But back to hiding things from kids... I find that kids are more likely to "play with matches" if they have no idea what they are for, and if they are hidden away in the back of a cabinet. Sure, kids should be protected from dangers, but I don't believe in feeding their curiosity by hiding anything from them.... but that's just me

Earthling789 got a reaction from GnarlyBooger in Hello from New England.
Welcome to the club! Hand-to-mouth satisfaction is one of the hardest things to kick when you stop smoking... glad to see you've found a better alternative to satisfy those cravings, instead of going back to smoking! As many on there will tell you, Nicotine is not the enemy, but since you know you no longer crave the nicotine, sticking with 0mg is fantastic!

Earthling789 got a reaction from Tam in EVOD Glass starter kit
Hey, I bought mine for $40, which is less than half what a VTR, charger, and a couple of good batteries will run!!
Oh, and they come in this thing called "variety"... not just Jungle Camo and fingerprint-magnet
Although a VTR will be my next MOD... if I don't pull the trigger on a Tesla first, lol... but I'm holding out for the next versions... I'm hoping they will release them this fall or winter?

The jury is still out on that one, but it could be determined quite easily by getting someone to exhale a few times into a gas-chromatograph and simply measure it... but that would be too easy for our government nannies to do
Seriously, if you worry about it, don't do it, and you'll sleep better at night. It's that simple....
One thing I can tell you is that vaporized nicotine is absorbed quickly by the soft-tissue of your mouth, tongue, throat and lungs. My best (scientific/medical) guess is that the vast majority of nicotine from each "hit" is absorbed by the body, and VERY little makes it back out into the atmosphere on exhale.
Also, if your kids eat tomatoes, eggplants, cauliflower, green peppers (and scores of other fruits/vegetables) they are ingesting natural nicotine (in very small quantities).... Nicotine is a naturally occurring insecticide, produced by the plants, themselves... perfectly natural, perfectly safe, perfectly NORMAL!

Water, water, water... and then more water... you'll feel MUCH better
Yes, the battery will not matter for the coil, single or dual... what matters is Ohm's Law... The higher the resistance of the coil, the lower the wattage (power), considering the Voltage of the battery to be constant @ 3.7V (standard battery). For a eGo-style battery, the sweet-spot will be 1.5 or 1.8 Ohm coils. 2.0 work well too, but anything higher gives weak vapor/flavor, IMO, due to lower power

Earthling789 got a reaction from Tam in New to vaping question
Fancy or simple, expensive or cheap, decorative or plain... it makes no difference as long as it works for you. Many people on here are quite satisfied with an eGo-style VV battery and a few tanks they like. You just have to decide what you want, try it, and when you find what you like you're in good shape!
One thing I will say, from personal experience, is that you suddenly will find yourself spending more on vaping gear than you did on smokes Fortunately, for me, I found my "happy-place" and started actually saving money in month #3. I'm one of those that have a few batteries, one MOD, and yes, 15 tanks (along with a ton of atomizers and cartomizers), lol
Juice is your biggie... you may get lucky and find your "one" quickly, but the quest to find your favorite flavors, vg/pg ratios, manufacturer, etc. is part of the fun....

Earthling789 got a reaction from Tam in Saying Thanks
Grailhunter, you sound a lot like me... a few months ago, I couldn't tell you the difference between an eGo and an Eggo, and I thought an Atomizer was something to spritz purfume but all the info and friendly assistance on here has really helped me to define and refine my vaping needs. If not for the folks here on this forum, I'd still be buying over-priced knock-offs and weak juices from the local B&M, or I'd be back on analogs....
So, I'd like to join you in saying, "Thank You!" to everyone... for your support, your knowledge, and your friendship!
