  1. Right now the Sigelei's seem to be the devices to get. IPV3's of course are still selling without an issue, but from what I've heard and seen the Sigelei just seems a bit superior overall in quality. If you don't necessarily need a regulated device, there is a huge market of small businesses producing unregulated and semi regulated box mods you could also look into. ^^I also have the 4 bay intellicharger, and it works great. I've heard some people say they don't give a full charge, but I've tested numerous batteries that have come off a fresh charge and they all read 4.2.
  2. I like to think of blu's and the like as more of an introduction to ecigs/vaping, but like the other 2 mentioned they're really not much of a means to an end and most of us are now on different galaxies with gear. I don't know a whole lot about the smaller tanks, but you could try something like this: (tank) Kanger mini Protank-3 AND (mod) eGo-V V3 Mega That setup can be had for about $33 and you'd probably be very impressed with the vape quality if you're coming from cigalike style vaping. Also, if you care about looks they sell a beauty ring which fits in between the tank and the mod to give it a seamless look. It costs $1 and can be bought with the tank from Kanger's website. I'll also mention that these vapes are maintained slightly differently. You'll need to refill the tank yourself instead of replacing pre-made cartridges, and will eventually need to buy new coils. Whatever model you buy, just go watch a brief tutorial on YouTube to learn how to set it up.
  3. True. I had a buddy back in high school though who smoked 2 packs of reds a day, and we would get together and smoke the big old stogies and he would french inhale them sometimes. They burn your lungs, I don't know how he did that though lol
  4. Yup, I know. I agree that for our own sake the vaping community as a whole needs to remain vigilant against attacks. Vaping is stealing tons of business, and that's the real battle here. Hell, vaping has taken all of my business I would normally give to cigarette retailers, cigar shops, hookah lounges and even other nicotine cessation products. Stuff I alone have spent about 15 grand on in less than 5 years, and many people spend far more. I think their fat cats at the top are just a tad pissed off by what's impending to happen once vaping becomes more common, which is happening more everyday. I always thought it was funny though, how said fat cats running the smoke show never smoked themselves, maybe they'll start so they can take the edge off a bit.
  5. I think we still need to be receptive to findings on the negative effects of vaping/ecigs. It's just so new and everything, we don't know what they'll do long term. If and when negative effects are discovered, we should take them seriously because just shutting things down gets us, well, nowhere. I frankly don't like people that say vaping is 100% harmless or entirely healthy for you, I think that's misleading. Intaking anything other than air into your lungs is going to have some implications (luckily, they appear to be minimal with vaping). In a perfect world, vaping would be regarded as "something new that is leaps and bounds healthier than cigarettes right now, but the long term effects are still unfounded." That all being said, I have to agree with a lot of the points here. It doesn't take a medical test to find out my lungs are functioning way better, my entire quality of life has dramatically improved. When I'm at the gym, I can deadlift the same weight for more reps, and I'm not seeing stars as I'm drowning for air after a 400 pound set. And like many of you guys pointed out, even if vaping damages your cells, it still won't keep me from vaping. This is 'merica baby. Cancer sticks are legal, and they have killed millions and cost us all trillions of dollars over the decades. In my own opinion, I don't think it's great to use vaping as a medium to hook non-smokers up with a nicotine addiction. But, if you smoke, what do you really have to lose?
  6. I just got one and it sure seems like it...even given the MNKE 26650 voltage drop, it just doesn't seem like I'm squeezing much out of them. Can any of you guys recommend a good dual (or quad) 26650 charger? I'll test some voltages when I get home to verify, but I'm swapping out 26650's every few hours because they just quit hitting and I have to take 2-3 primer puffs just to get a good vape. Sorry to hijack Edit: Nevermind! Tested 2 MNKE 26650's that came off the charger about 3 hours ago and have been sitting. 4.212 and 4.216. I guess it's just the voltage drop!
  7. This. Nothin like a cup of joe and a tasty caramel tobacco juice in the morning!!
  8. Well that's good to hear, and seems to make sense. I honestly had no clue so I decided to post this. At least it's not shedding oxidized metal particles like I thought it could have been!! I'd just never really seen this before and it sort of spooked me..enough to sit my vape down until I knew what was up. What can I say, I'm still a noob sometimes. I'll give the rest of my GPLAT another go. Fwiw, GPLAT might be nothing more than repackaged 317L stainless wire. Figured it was repackaged something, just not sure what (and still not 100% sure despite the article). http://www.vapemile.com/2014/08/28/vapinologys-gplat-wires-dirty-secret-revealed/ Thanks guys!
  9. Preface: I built some new coils last night, vaped on them last night and today, and just rewicked to put some different juice on. In the process of rewicking, I heated up my coils like usual, ran them under cold water, dried them and then put the cotton in. While doing this, I noticed black specks accumulated in the deck of the atomizer, but I just blew them out of there. Now, with it rewicked and juiced, I noticed after vaping a few times, there are AGAIN now black specks in the bottom of the deck and some were in the cotton. I vaped it a few times and they are gone from the cotton (presumably either vaporized or in the drip tip, my mouth or lungs), but they are still in the bottom of the deck. Has anyone encountered something like this?? For the record, I bought 6 feet of GPlat 24 to try it out, and that's what these coils are made of. So far, I've seen no real benefits from it, it's not significantly easier to build with than kanthal, there's no better flavor, I frankly like how kanthal heats up more than gplat (but that may be a factor of just the build set up), and plain kanthal has never made these specks. Perhaps it is also worth noting that my kanthal builds the oxidized layer around it, causing the coils to look like a matte gray. These coils look more like a shiny black. I feel like they're trying to oxidize, but for some reason chips of that layer just don't stick, and subsequently fall right off. Anyone know what's up with this?? Kinda done with gplat after this one......
  10. That's pretty interesting earthling...learn something new everyday bout vapin'
  11. Hahaha I know, I first tried it when I called my vape shop and asked for wick and they said they had cotton bacon. I was so confused lol. Rixter and Tam, yeah you're right. Looks like my fluke multi is going back to school with me. I just tested a build in my new RDA, it's a tricoil with 7 wraps of 24 gauge. It's reading at 1.1 ohm ! I really thought it'd be a lot lower, somewhere in the mid sub ohm, to tell you the truth........just goes to show you don't really know till ya know!
  12. True, but isn't vaping pretty much vaporized PG/VG, or does vaporizing these molecules somehow condense water in the air thus producing the vapor we all know and love?
  13. I've been wondering lately, everywhere you see vaping referred to as inhaling water vapor. But, there's no water in e-liquid. How does vaporizing juice scientifically produce water vapor?
  14. I can't even do 50/50 man, that PG throat kick is just not my thing. Just burns my throat and makes my eyes water. 80/20 is my happy medium Edit: for dripping. Tanks, 60/40 - 70/30
