I will take the first post here to welcome everyone to the new sub! This space is dedicated to all of the so-called advanced pv's out there. This could be anything from a Darwin to a first gen LT to the tried and true Provari. I hope this space proves to be beneficial to all. So anything dealing with an advance pv can be put here. Questions are welcome.

Just wanted to drop in and let everyone who wasn't already aware know that Chris has added a new sub forum under "e-cig technical." This is called "hardware specific" and is a new space that is dedicated to hardware. Currently there are two sections in it with room for more if the desire/need arises. The two that are currently available are Rebuildable Atomizers (RBAs) and Variable Voltage Devices which encompass all VV and VW devices. Bring some traffic and questions to the new area! I think it will be a great new area for vets and newcomers alike! Thank you and come check it out! Yes, sadly I am the only one to start threads in either so I need some company over there!

I'm sure this has been asked many, many times, but I'm looking for a flavor to that is closer to actual tobacco. Times have changed and so have e-juice suppliers. Anything new out there I might should try?

So I have ordered the new version of the AGA-S. I am patiently awaiting it's arrival. I will provide updates and I'm sure many questions in the near future.

Posted a post for ya.....lol

Sweeeeeet!!

Well the initial success was short lived. I got it all together last night and vaped on it for about 30 minutes before going to bed for the night. This morning I got up and had a meeting at work that lasted 4 hours. I vaped on the way in, had two 10 min breaks during the meeting, and vaped it on the way home. Once I got home I filled the tank and started to have dry hits. I found what I think is a hot spot on the top coil. I tried to work it out by wiggling the wick and moving the top coil up and down a little. I couldn't fix it so I decided to scrap that coil and go for #2. Number 2 was a fail. I wrapped the coil in the same manner. I attached the ground to the screw and wrapped it up the wick. I made four turns and attached the top to the positive post. While the tank was empty I fired it. There was an immediate hot spot on the top coil. This time I was only able to fire it about 5 times before the coil popped. At the moment it's sitting on the table while I write this and enjoy a vape that IS working. So what is the cause of these hot spots? I truly think this wick is oxidized well. I burned the crap out of it. I followed the method that was used by JC West (via youtube). I also attempted to "re-oxidize" if there is such a thing when I removed the first coil. The positive post on this thing has a microscopic little knurled nut to attach the coil wire. I have a hard time doing this. I'm trying to hold the mod and wick in place and trying to keep tension on the wire and tighten the nut all at the same time. I don't know if there is a right or wrong way to attach the wire to that post. Now, to the device itself. I love the way this RBA looks. The machine work is very solid. It has some heft but nothing horrible. My biggest complaint so far are the tiny o-rings that are supposed to hold the top on/in place. These are a joke and simply not sufficient. It needs and I will be getting bigger more substantial o-rings. I don't know yet where I will be getting these upgraded o-rings but it is going to be required for continued use. I will post pics soon. I want it to be setup and functioning before I post up pics.

There is juice that is 100% VG (no PG at all!)

The only way to tell if it is the juice your allergic too is to try both VG and PG separately. Meaning 100% VG then 100% PG. I've never heard of a case where the person was allergic to both seeing these ingredients are in a lot of things we use daily. You might be able to still vape but only 100% of one or the other.

It would also not be a bad idea to discuss this with a doctor.

It could be that the withdraw from not smoking is effecting you or you could be allergic to VG or PG. Ask the shop where you bought the juice what ratio PG vs. VG you have.

Well as I was sitting on the couch after dinner tonight a thought crossed my mind. I asked my wife had she checked the mail today and she said she had not. So after throwing on some house shoes and a jacket I checked it. Guess what I had? ...yep my new AGA-S! So after watching a couple videos on the YouTubez I boiled the unit to sterilize and got to work. On my first go I managed to cut roll and oxidize my first wick. Which is #400 ss. I wrapped what I think is a respectable 1.5ohm coil. The coil is 32awg kanthal at 4 wraps. I am vaping it now. Vapor production is great. Flavor is muted but I think that is just a matter of steeping this brand new bottle. I will post pics tomorrow. Now for the first question. How do you fill this thing? According to the vendor it holds around 2ml but I doubt I got one full ml in it. It just pours out of the fill hole while I'm trying to do it...very confused. Thanks in advance! Yay!

Maybe its the menopause

I went through something similar when I started. Sick, light headed, anything I ate or drank got me nauseous. It went away after a few hours though. I vaped to much and after research discovered I wasn't alone in having a mild nic OD. If you bought a high mg eliquid you may be going through the same thing. Either that or you have the flu that's going around.

Hi Molly, welcome to VT. Your body is going to be going through a lot of changes. Keep it up, you wont regret it.

Welcome Molly, what type of e cig are you using and what strength e liquid?

It doesn't matter where you are; the best place to find juice is online and have it mailed to you. It will usually arrive in a few days or less and there are countless reliable vendors.

Hello and Welcome. There are lots of folks here from Canada, A !?!

I'd love to see VG! I've found that vaping PG all day leaves an odd taste/feeling my mouth and lips feeling a but dry. VG doesn't.
