I still have my first eGo-T... a black 650mAh battery.  I bought two of them with a 6-pack of CE4 cartomizers as my starter kit.  I used those for about a month before upgrading my tank to a Kanger ProTank3-mini, and still have that one (and another 5 I purchased over the years).  I still use the KPT3-mini with an eGo or small 20-30W mod, on occasion, just because it's convenient and stealthy to carry on bike-trips, or I use them when I'm working in the yard or garage... because they are durable and I won't cry if I drop one and break it
 

Well, since they are "warming" an actual tobacco leaf... I would assume it would appeal to many cigarette smokers... although I'm definitely not agreeing on their assertion of 90% less harm!  I mean, you're still "smoking" actual tobacco, and only God and PM know what thousands of additives are in their "sticks"?
I also raised an eyebrow with the use of the word "conversion" more-so than the percentages quoted...  Converting from Bourbon to Scotch is still drinking whiskey, lol

There are also some used by the dentist with a coating which creates a barrier to prevent leakage.  This coating is a type of plastic, similar to the plastic on the absorbent blood-pads you find under your meat from the grocery store... if it has a coating... don't use it to wick your coils!

Thanks for making my point
First and foremost... You are an adult You vape to replace smoking as your source of Nicotine You recognize that smoking is not healthy, and that vaping is a healthier alternative You didn't take up vaping as a non-smoker just to blow big clouds, do vapor tricks, or "be one of the cool kids" You contain your cloud chasing to the privacy of your own home (so as to not needlessly annoy others or cast vapers in a bad light, socially, publicly, or in the media) The question being, regarding underage vaping... and you nailed every one of my criteria above... Kudos for doing it with two sentences and a picture!

Interesting because it should to be the other way around: 
 
 

I don't know what kind of study you're doing, and I'm not clicking the link to find out about a few subjective or bias questions which will likely lead to zero conclusions (other than "vaping is bad", which is the go-to for the medical/dental community).
As a former researcher, I can tell you the only honest study you can do, will take at least 500 test subjects and 10-20 years to conduct properly.  You'll need 100 each of non-smokers/non-vapers for control group...100 each current smokers, former smokers who don't vape or use any other nicotine diversion, former smokers who vape, and non-smokers who vape.  You'll have to also eliminate/mitigate environmental factors, excessive drinkers, caffeine addicts, and those who consume sugar (drinks/candy), or any other known oral-health damage causing factors.
I'd wish you luck on your endeavor, but we both know you're probably not going to be investigating this thoroughly (long-term) or seriously... because next semester you'll have a new pet-project to complete for your indoctrination officials (a.k.a professors)... rather than learning real dentistry....
Sorry for the cynicism, but I've been around long enough in the medical field to know smoke-and-mirrors faux-research attempts when I see it....

Yes, storing your e-liquid in the fridge is a great way to make it stay fresh longer... but only if you don't plan on vaping that bottle for a couple of years.  I do keep my mixing supplies in the fridge (and freezer) to prolong their lives, but we're talking GALLONS of supplies, not 30ml bottles.  now, if I mix a batch of 1-liter of e-liquid, and find I don't like it after I've vaped it for a couple months... I may store the remaining dozen 60ml bottles in the fridge so they won't go bad until I decide they're worth vaping again... but even when I mix up my ADV (yes, usually in 600-900ml batches), I don't store them in the fridge... they're on a shelf in my office, which is cool and dark... and I'll normally go though those 10-15 60ml bottles in a few months... so they don't go bad while waiting to be vaped.
As for batteries... the old-school dry-cells made prior to the 1970's did "last longer" if they were kept cool, like in the fridge, but today's more advanced Alkaline batteries aren't helped in the least (usually harmed as @Bebop stated above) by putting them in the fridge.  As long as they are kept cool... like normal room-temps... they'll be just fine in storage for more than 5 years.
On a side-note... I bought a box-lot of vintage cameras a few years ago, and the Brownie camera flash had EveryReady batteries in it... from the early '50s... and they STILL WORKED to power the flash bulbs, and hadn't leaked in 60+ years of storage in someone's basement!

Your coils may be fine... it could be the cotton you're using?  What type/brand of cotton are you using?  And, can you post a picture of your build after you wick it?  That will help a lot!

Yeah, the Russian is designed as a MTL or sssllloooowwww direct-lung hit RTA... but the flavor is still amazing from it

I bought my first "real" vape also on 3/31/14... 
I bought an eGo-T 650mAh / CE4 starter-pack at the local  vape shop (carry-case, two batteries, charger-kit, six clearomizers, and two 30ml bottles of juice)... a week later I had two more 1100mAh eGo-T's and upgraded to EVOD tanks... another week later I was rocking my first Pyrex tank... Kanger ProTank3-mini... and on my 4th week, I upgraded to an Innokin MVP 2.0, two KPT2, and two Aerotanks
I tried cold-turkey, gum, patches, Chantix, and flirted with cigalikes for a while before buying a "real" vape product... and NOTHING worked like REAL vaping does!!  I started vaping on 4/1/14 and have never had another smoke since then   I'm over 2.5 years smoke-free, and NEVER felt better in my life.
My fiance has been smoke free for just over 1.5 years.. and vaping is the ONLY thing that helped her quit!

Welcome to VT!
I have several charts with resistance/wattage, and there are hundreds on the Internet...
What exactly are you looking for?  I mean, are you looking for sweet-spots or are you looking for specific coil's range of Wattage?  If the latter, you'll not find anything for that because the juice you use (PG/VG ratios and flavors) will affect how the coil performs, as well as the tank style... what tastes great in one tank/coil configuration may taste like wet socks in another tank/coil combo at the same Wattage setting...  Every tank/coil/mod/juice combo has their sweet-spot, but they differ from person to person, even then, because all tastes are subjective

Hey Folks, 
Historically we've never done Black Friday, Cyber Monday etc but we will this year. I will start the BF sales Wednesday Evening and let them run through until Saturday A Black Friday page will be published by Wednesday afternoon around 6PM PST +-

I'm with @Adversarious1...  My first box-mod was the MPV, and after about 18 months it just wouldn't hold a charge more than a few hours   I was kinda upset about that, since it still looks like new, and is not much more than a paperweight at the moment...  After that disappointment, I decided it is more economical and efficient to buy mods that use 18650 or 26650 batteries, and replace batteries, rather than buy a whole mod just because the battery went bad... kinda like having to buy a new car just because the battery needs replacing....
My go-to brands are Samsung and LG... and my #1 preference is the Samsung 25R-5 (green) and 25R-2 (blue) because they just last and last and last! 
LG HE2 (red) have served me well, but they seem to diminish their charge capacity after about 200 charges, whereas the Samsung I've been running for nearly 2 years are still working like new ones.  I've also bought some Samsung 30Q (pink) and LG HG2 (brown)... So far they are working well and holding their charge like new... but none of those 3000mAh batteries have passed 100 recharges yet

Awesome! I think I located your order (almost missed it today, just stopped by the desk before heading out) Going to add in some Black Label for you

LOL, That's so funny. When I was changing the 3 tanks I have over to top fill I actually started putting the juice in the bottom before it hit me that I was putting it in the wrong in.

O-rings are easy to change, and plenty of videos out there to show you how...  Don't be afraid to pull the tanks apart... they will go back together   Just remember to get the o-rings wet to make them assemble easier without rolling or pinching.  I use a little pure VG to lubricate, but distilled water, PG, or juice works too.
As for anything you need to "change" when using the top-fill tanks... NOPE... they work the exact same, they just open from the bottom for coil-changes and the top for filling... or you can also fill from the bottom!  I have filled from the bottom many times on my first top-fill Nano... before I was reminded by my fiance' that it was a top-fill version 😲  

I've not used one in a few weeks, but I still rock on my very first KPT3-mini, which is over 2-yrs old... and I was vaping on an Aerotank V2 (on a Cloupor mini) this afternoon while changing the clutch in my Probe   
I don't mind vaping on my older gear, actually I prefer them, when I'm working in the grease and grime... if they get dirty I just soak them in soapy water and use the sonic cleaner to get in the crevices....  and if I break one... I don't feel too bad... although I've not broken one in a LONG time (knocks on wood)... even though I'm hard as hell on them when I'm working in the yard or garage!
