    cesar got a reaction from Vic in 80/20 pg vg ratio vs 50-50   
    I think the 50 / 50 thing is more a matter of safety... little is known about the long term effects of inhaling PG, so most companies are going for the " safe " approach..

    Best Tobacco flavour I have ever tasted, smooth with just the right throat hit. Also Liberty Flights uses Pharmaceutical grade PG and VG. If you looking for an authentic cigarette taste try Super Highway.

    That's one reason some people don't want to start a business now, too many people are suing because they did something stupid and are looking to blame someone else. Product liability insurance is very high.

    Actually, both spellings are acceptable... one is "Queen's English" (UK), and the other is American English...   I work with a lot of people from other countries, and spelling is always different... especially when the writer's first language is NOT English
    People get on to me constantly for misspelling "grey", but both grey and gray are acceptable (same word), and when I spend a lot of time talking with the Brits, Irish, or Scots, I find myself using the Queen's spellings more and more because I make an effort to spell the way they do (emails, IM's, etc.), and for days afterwards, I'm spelling that way in emails and writings to my local co-workers
    Some of the most fun (and frustrations) of my day can be spend deciphering Engrish from the Chinese, Hinglish from the Indians, and Spanglish from those in South America, lol

    Yes, the charts a guideline to keep you in the 8W range, if memory serves...  But we all know that not all juices like 8W... some like 12W, some turn to charcoal at 5W... so that is why we say 'sweet-spot'...  start low, and keep turning it up until you get a burnt flavor, and back it down a notch or two... 
    What gets me is one of my ADV's is best at 14W +/- a Watt or two... and the other can't be pushed over 9W... so when I put the wrong tank on the wrong battery, I sometimes get a huge surprise (and a crudded-up coil)...

    Exactly, especially when you use KPT single coils lol. The slightest drop in performance and I just toss it and pop a new one on. Last week my IStick somehow came unlocked and I took a big pull at 50w with my 1.8ohm coil and after I was done gagging, the coil had to be laid to rest. Fried that *****.

    cesar reacted to bcartervol98 in How do you guys handle the craving for smoking.   
    I said on a Saturday that on Monday I was done and made the swap and really never had a problem. I think anyone trying to quit should use 24mg period and get a decent battery and tank (you can get great equipment for the cost of a couple cartons of smokes). Within a couple days I knew I would never have another cigarette and that was 4-23-13 and I haven't since.
     
    With that said my wife is a couple months behind me because she kept an "emergency pack" in her car. Until she did away with that she never fully committed. With a few exceptions I would hazard to guess the vast majority of people will continue to smoke if you have them on hand. After about a month she finally got tired of it (and as I regained my smell and tastebuds and she did we both realized how disgusting we had smelled for so long) and gave them up alltogether.
     
    About 3 months in to her and 4 in for me we traded Yukons and found a pack under the seat and laughed as we tossed it in the garbage. Its all there for you to quit but it takes three things
     
    1. Equipment good enough to transport a sufficient amount of vapor and nicotine
    2. Willingness and truly being ready to do it
    3. Liquid that you like AND has an appropriate level of nicotine to curb your cravings
     
    Best of luck!

    Some of that definitely sounds like being over nic'ed and a bit dehydrated. I had similar results a couple of weeks ago when I decided it was a good idea to chain vape 8-10 hits in a row and then immediately try to go to sleep. If I didn't know any better, I would've thought that someone slipped something in my drink lol.
    The constipation and allergy development is probably related to quitting the cigs though. Especially if your morning routine included a smoke and coffee to "clear out the pipes."

    cesar reacted to bcartervol98 in New to Vaping. What to buy   
    Ok my thoughts. Keep away from the garbage starter kits. For the cost of 2 cartons of cigarettes you could buy a Starter kit with:
    2 Vision Spinner 2 1600mah batteries
    2 Tanks (I prefer Aspire Davides or Kanger Pro Tanks without the Aero base but only use the single coils I will not buy any tank that will not use single coils)
    1 Charger and wall adapter (I would buy an extra for $10-$12)
    Case
    Then as far as liquids go you will have to experiment. I actually agree with one thing Cesar said. I would probably not been successful had I not found a tobacco flavor that did a good enough job of mimicking an analog. For me that was Sweet-Vapes Traditional Tobacco. Most vapers I know started that way BUT at the 3-6 month time frame when their tastebuds started to heal the taste of tobacco starts to be a turn off and then they start exploring other flavors. I went from 80pg-20vg 24mg Tobacco to a Max VG Strawberry Lemonade blend in 18mg that I still use exclusively today. My wife from day 1 has used 24mg 80pg-20vg ECBlends Peppermint and only recently dropped to 18mg. I see us both being at 18mg the rest of the time we vape.
    As far as suppliers go I use 3 only and have never gotten anything but great service!:
    Equipment: sweet-vapes.com
    Liquids: fuzionvapor.com and ecblendsflavors.com

    You'd be surprised how rugged and long-lasting Innokin battery products are...   My MVP 2.0 which was bought 15 months ago is still going strong, and the battery still holds out for roughly two or three days of vaping...  I loaned it to a friend a few weeks ago, and she used it from Wednesday night to Saturday morning.  It never went to the yellow light while she was using it.
    When you do upgrade to a different style of battery, that Itazte-134 will make an excellent backup!

    Sorry, Cesar... I gotta disagree. 
    Buying a cheap starter kit may seem like saving money, but cheap is usually poor quality and poor performance - think gas-station vape-pens.  These things will almost always discourage a new vaper and send them running back to analogs.  A good starter kit with reliable batteries (Kanger, Vision, Joye) and replaceable-coil clearomizers work far better... and usually only cost a few dollars more than the cheap-o, no-name, garbage.  There is also nothing wrong with your "starter" set-up to be intermediate gear.  I often recommend KPT2's, Aerotanks, iSticks, Kbox-minis, and other "intermediate/advanced" equipment to new vapers.  Nothing is written in stone that you MUST start vaping with an eGo 650mAh and a Ce4 disposable tank!
    Also, smokers are always drawn to tobacco flavors as new vapers, because it is a mental-thing to think you need/want "tobacco", but in my experience (and listening to a lot of vapers), the vast majority will agree that finding a good fruit or bakery flavor (not a tobacco flavor) is what kept them vaping and away from analogs.  There are exceptions, sure, but they are very low percentages.  One of my ADV's has a small amount of Cuban Cigar flavor in it, but the main flavor is fruit/sweet (the cigar flavor adds the right amount of spice to compliment the fruity flavor, and does not add the nasty tobacco flavor at all).   Vaping works as a smoking cessation tool because it satisfies the hand-to-mouth action, provides a mouth/lung filling vapor, provides a "visual" of vapor on exhale (that reminds the eyes of our former smoking), provides a flavor that we like (to keep us vaping), and finally... provides Nicotine to our body which reduces the withdrawal that quitting cold-turkey or using ineffective gums or patches provides!

    The subtank is a good tank, and I run my Nano and Mini with 1.2 and 1.5 Ohm coils.  I also build the RBA deck in the same range. 
    If you like your Aerotank mini, perhaps you'd like the standard-size Aerotank.  I have both styles, V1 and V2, and love both of them!  I use them with my Cloupor Minis and my IPV minis, and they would run very well with an iStick 50W or the Kbox-mini, too (as well as your i-134, with added beauty-ring).
    I would suggest you upgrade to a VW box-style mod... either one that has a self-contained battery like the iStick 50W (huge power reserve), MVP 20W, 3.0, etc., or make the move onto a replaceable battery device like the IPV, Cloupor, Kbox minis, etc.... just be sure to purchase a good Nitecore or Efest charger and VERY good batteries, like Samsung 25r, LG HE2, or purple Efests!

    Also keep in mind the Sub Tank Plus is 25mm in diameter where the Sub Tank Mini is only 22mm.  Unless you really feel the need to have the 7ml capacity, the Sub Tank Plus is going to look odd on almost any battery or mod out there unless you go for something running 26650's.

    A KPT also works much better at a slightly higher wattage than what is available with a regular battery. So your aerotank will probably perform much better too. Doesn't the  aerotank mini use ego thread, most of the sub ohm batteries don't have ego threads, just 510 threads.
     
    That's why I got the subtank mini kit it costs less than some box mods and comes with battery and tank.

    One thing to consider is can your current battery run a sub ohm tank? My evic will run a subtank but only if I use a 1.5 ohm coil or better, and then not as well as the sub box will. You may be better off getting the battery first.

    I've done dripping, and still do on rare occasions, but for me, I like the idea of not having to have a bottle of juice within 3' of me at all times (and far less issue with leaks/drips).  For me, moving to an RTA was my unicorn.  I get the benefit of customizing my coil and cotton to suit MY preferences, and a tank that holds 3-5ml of juice, so I'm only needing to fill it once a day, maybe twice?
    Adversarious brought up a great point about mech-mods... I own several and haven't touched them in months.  When I do drip, I simply use my higher power regulated boxes... it gives a more uniform vaping experience, so I can hit the same Wattage on every draw, rather than the constant fall-off of power/voltage you get with a mech.

    Dripping is terrific. I love it. However, it is limited (for me).  I cannot drip all day, nor do I want to. So if you start dripping, realize that you are likely to want another set up that performs well, is portable and trouble free anyway. Take a look at how you vape the most and upgrade that, then get yourself an RDA and learn how to do it and have fun.

    My advice...go with what you think you will get the most enjoyment out of.  For a lot of people, the idea of dripping simply isn't appealing.  If you are already considering taking that step, then that tells me you aren't opposed to the idea of dripping.  If you think you will enjoy everything involved with dripping, then by all means, go that route.  I do both.  Tanks during my drive to work, at work and on the way home, then I switch to an RBA and drip at home.  For me dripping is relaxing.  
    One other option you can go with - get a regulated box mod, a better tank and an RBA.  You don't need a mech mod or an unregulated box mod to drip.  In fact, even though I own several mech mods, most of my dripping is done on one of my regulated box mods.  That way, if you discover dripping isn't for you, you still have the regulated box mod that you can use with other tanks.  Not all tanks are safe to use on mech mods or unregulated box mods (personally I don't use any tanks on anything unregulated).
    Dripping can be a fun, relaxing, all around enjoyable experience, but like Tam said, safety first.  There are a lot of good resources online about Ohm's Law, battery safety, coil building, wicking, etc.  Check those resources and pay attention to them.  You don't need to take a college course or major in electrical engineering to understand any of it, but paying attention to the information that is available can mean the difference between an enjoyable experience or becoming a statistic.
