Guys and gals I'm in some big trouble. Since I bought my first mech mod and my kayfun lite. I've went to the dark side now . Last weekend I picked up the chi-you clone, the ac9, and the patriot. Lmao this weekend I'm getting the AIOS and the kraken . And they will be getting in the steam turbine and a couple of others in the next couple of weeks. The ole lady is going to kill me!!!!. I can't come back from the dark side now lol.

Yep, it's been ten months since I switched delivery systems!!!!longest time period without stinkies in the last 20 years!! I never thought this would be possible....and the best thing I've ever done for myself..next to meeting my Karen...... I'd like to Thank the major players who have helped me along the way, including Tessie the Tesla, Evie the eVic, and Veronica the VTR! And Thanks to my VT Buddies who have led me in the right direction, Rixter, Tam, Comp, and that crazy Car Dealer..and Jeff for putting up with my ****! 10 months, down from 24 to 12 mg, a new gig at a vape shop, this journey has been life changing! If I can do this...anyone can!!

Well...that leaves "defective KPT" or "demonic possession".

My hobby the last several months may have turned into an obsession. Welcome, and good luck!

That is surprising..ECBLENDS is my go to supplier and many of us at VT order from them. I have had over a dozen orders and never had a problem..next time be more careful when you select your options, as ECB has a great website whatever you order goes directly into the system, no chance for them to make a mistake like that, or so I have been told by a couple of folks there in the past...

Here's whats going to put me in the dog-house till spring. http://www.vapor-hub.com/product/ar-mod/ Along with; http://www.vapor-hub.com/product/patriot-dripper-black-cerakote/ Ordered it yesterday and I'm gonna wait till I get home friday to beg forgiveness from wifey

Took the cap off of my 510 tank, filled it up, put it back on the e-cig. You may notice that I forgot an important step there. Ungodly amount of flooding :S

Your a lucky man...if I tried that, I'd be a dead man!! Now that I'm semi-retired (as in only 2 jobs instead of 3) I can only buy a new mod/apv every three months or so..but since I love my latest...no worries !!

Lol yeah I don't have any other hobbies. Besides fishing but I don't have to buy fishing gear a buddy of mine gives it to me all the time for helping him . So I'm good there lol

I keep 6 3ml bottles of misc flavors for using throughout the day....those are my dripping flavors. I also have 3 tank setups for when I'm out. I can't stand using the same flavor all day I gave up on fancy storage....tackle box (left over from my early vaping days) is stuffed with misc vaping supplies, coils, extra tanks and what nots.... 1 shoe box for DIY and 1 shoe box for all my liquids

Thank you for the input! That will be our purchase next week. Every week cigarette free we buy a little something - but hey, it's still cheaper than the money we were spending on cigarettes!

It really is amazing how adicting this hobie can become!! Lol even just becoming a hobie was unexpected.. Theres always worse things u can b doing and spending ure $ on and if u compear it to a pack a day habit ure probably still way ahead of the game..

Hmmm, that's good to know about the burning taste in well used coil. Thanks!

Which Island are you going to? not sure if all the islands have shops. Oahu has several Volcano shops...Volcano is a great product. The only disadvantage is that the batteries are not compatible with many of the tanks available. the batteries are 510 threaded and do work with 510 or 306 atomizers for dripping, they do sell a dual coil tank for the volcano batt. the vivi nova tanks also work.

silica wicks are already more dense and more uniform in size. They tend to expand when wet. But they are subject to the caramelization that takes place at the coil. Over time they become stiff and bond with the coil. They lose the ability to hold moisture, hence the gradual "dry" hit that comes about after a few tanks. Silica also doesn't burn. This had me fooled for a while because I always thought the "burning" taste in an old coil was the silica but it's not. The burning comes from the caramelization of the juice compounds and the gradual takeover of the coil by the caramelization. Dry burning of silica wicks gets rid of this caramelization for the most part but it's not 100%, so eventually the coil will not recover after a few dry burns. Eventually the silica does weaken and deteriorate from the heat. I can lengthen the life of a factory coil by cleaning and dry burning, maybe 2 or 3X but I think it is wise to just toss them or rebuild them after that because it probably isn't healthy to be inhaling "burnt" juice.

It's good stuff, I think nicoticket is correct, it's meant to be dripped. As far as that goes, everything is better when dripped.

ya im kinda glad i got a extra evod vv for when my ego dies. its nice to always have a charged one since neither are pass threw. i think ill probably grab a genuine pro tank. or a i clear. then get a handful of cheap tanks as well. i have only had a few leak issues with the knock off but after just cleaning it with a paper towel it works just fine again. thanks for the info guys! hoping to get my first mod with a 18650 here soon to check out that scene. thanks again! one of the more polite and professional forums I've dealt with so far.

I love my RDA's, they are primarily what I use now.

You can, it is basically speed steeping.

I have to agree with you Spydre. Genuine coils all the way! Even if you are ever going to rebuild your Kanger coils. I have noticed some of the knock-off coils have slightly longer contact pins on the bottom that stick out of the coil bases. This leads to not being able to fully seat the tank onto whatever battery or apv and results in a "non" or 0.0 code on my mvp and gives me error flashes on my spinner batt and won't fire. So, in short, whatever you use, use coresponding parts/coils for it. If you're using knock-off kpt2's, use the knock-off coils with it. Genuine kpt's, use genuine coils. Just be sure to keep them separated from each other to avoid hassles and confusion.

This is my final guess, since I can't see your rebuild) - you say you use cotton. I would bet your cotton wick does not have enough material. The juice is flowing too heavily to the coil and is not restricted enough. Remember, as the juice wicks and is constantly being fired by the coil, the wick contracts and gets gooey with deposits from sugars and whatnot in flavoring. This does two things, the wick loses its elasticity(stays compressed) and loses its ability to hold the juice. Once that happens the juice gets by the coil and into the airway and battery. Try beefing up your wick (more cotton) and not necessarily more flavor wick. (I don't believe in demons. )

Nice! Thanks Tam! *starts making new list*

I won't say you can't have to many, but a collection doesn't hurt at all.

Thought about it, but it wouldn't fit where I wanted to hang it on the wall. Lol.

Lol. Mine "only" holds 60-something. If I got the true "gargantuan china cabinet" one, those hold well over a hundred!

Its always worth it to have extra batteries and tanks imo

Dang!!! Look at the size of that...tip! LOL! Seriously Mrwaylon, that thing is long! (Sexual overtones NOT implied) lol

Revenge of the vape gnomes

That's a relief, at least they are not taking action that is above reason or stimulated by panic. I have felt that under the 18 should be restricted as do 99.9999% of the adult Vaping community when it come to sale to minors.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your service to our country. My grandfather was a WWII vet, my father in law both an Army and Navy Vet, brother in law a Desert Storm army vet, and my father in law's father and all his uncles were Navy vets that served during WWII. As a matter of fact, the day I met my SO was the day after my now brother in law reported to the reserve....building/base/depot, to prepare to depart for training before heading over to Kuwait (this was a month before war was actually declared). The day he came home was Prom Night, so after the Prom, we went back to his house, and I met his brother and some of his squad mates.

Tam - I think you might be mistaken about that "Acrylic nail polish organizer" .... I think the correct name for it would be "gargantuan china cabinet"

1.8 - 2.0 start there.

I DIY too, so I have many sample bottles laying around. BUt I usually keep around 5-8 in rotation. 2-3 for ADV and a few for a little change of pace flavor sometimes. I will often go back to a flavor I did not like and find that my pallet has changed and now I do like it. Weird how that works sometimes. I tried a few juices that were my fav's when I first started... Kinda gross now. I'll say this... No one can tell you how many juices is too little or too much. Personal preference goes a long way for vaping. Some people say a cucumber tastes better pickled, but I don't know... lol

Ah. Well, in all fairness, I have my tacklebox which the slots are ALMOST exclusively held by juice bottles, and then I still have some sample bottles in my cabinet here. The majority of my tanks are now stored in this Case Logic case thing that I stole from my SO (with his permission), although the ones that go in the car with me are stored in my eGo carrying case rather than my actual eGos. But like I said, with some of these, once I empty them, I won't be re-ordering, unless at some point in time between now and emptying them I get the urge to start vaping the flavor like mad again.

Tam needing a storage facility for her juice.

Right now I'm using the chi-you clone and patriot RDA

It's an issue with Paypal, all juice suppliers are having the same, and have to get a new payment processor...we know Matt and I would send him cash and feel confident in a smooth transaction.
