My first ever video of myself.. it was weird, but I hope to do more in the future including build tutorials

I've been reading about cotton wicks and seeing some friends who sub ohm mod, etc. so I'm wide awake tonight and frustrated with several burnt coils after only a day (think it might be a new juice I'm trying), so I do a little experiment tonight. I've never rebuilt a coil, and don't have the materials to do so. Well I took a Smok coil similar to a PT2 coil and got all of the wicking out completely, dry burned, rolled some cotton and it is awesome! I'm so excited about the way it wicks and draws now and the taste, that I think I may start rebuilding the coils. I never imagined that would EVER happen.

If you do start re/building coils, get your Kanthal here: http://www.temcoindustrialpower.com/search.html?t1=Kanthal A lot of times a 100 ft spool is cheaper than 10 ft from a vape shop. And its free shipping!

I was just going to suggest the least amount of maintenance dripping method. The good old dependable atomizer. Kit's right, they're great. They're disposable so you take one out, use it for a week or more (however long it lasts), and then when it no longer works well you throw it away and start with a brand new one.

Or....there are those of us that are still old school for dripping. less hassel all the way around. http://www.theveteranvaper.com/joye-306-atomizer/ http://www.theveteranvaper.com/306-extended-delrin-drip-tip/ use as is with drip tip or remove bridge and use with drip tip.....drip, vape, repeat

My names Samantha. You can call me Samantha, Sam, Sammie. I have been vaping on and off for a few months, but only within the last week became fully invested. On my 4th day straight with no cigarettes! I want to learn all I can about vaping! Want to meet new people and make new friends! All comments are welcome! Thank you!

I'm not sure how much more made in the USA it gets then this, which came right from wizard labs site. I'm 100% certain you are quite uninformed.

Me no likey

He has a blunt force weapon lol

Wow, Tameiki, if changing the coil doesn't work I will try that. Thanks!

They can word it how ever they but the number one reason the feds don't like ecig or juice is because it dose not have that tax stamp on it and they aren't making money off of us anymore. Well not as much. If they can't tax it or make money from it, the said product will be dubbed unsafe and the famous think of the children escape clause

nice build and setup.

Welcome to tge DARKSIDE Ugalady! Lol @Happy Vapor, there's a lot of back and forth on wether to boil or not. I do, but only to remove any weird taste from the cotton. I've been educated by a longtime member here ( iMedic ), that boiling it only pulles the impurities out of the cotton and into the top layer of water , that when you pull your cotton out, its going right thru the stuff again. As far as I'm concerned, its a taste thing. The way I look at it, is if there's anything in there that hasn't been rendered inactive after boiling 3 times, well, whatever doesn't kill me makes me stronger. Lol

I love building my own coils. As a matter of fact I started using cotton wicks not all that long ago. The one thing you have to remember is to use untreated and unbleached cotton. If you don't then at least boil your cotton balls first. There is bleach and pesticides in cheap cotton balls. Boiling them works. I used to boil mine twice and then unroll them. From there I would place the cotton in front of a fan to air dry. I would boil a dozen at a time so I wouldn't have to do it often.

Your setup looks a lot like my silencer on my ar15 7.62

I trust what my nic test kit shows. I use a test kit and know what % nic I use.

It has been around since I made the switch. Don't know how it started or who started it. I have been vaping for over 4 years. It was a term we used to distinguish a cigarette from the electronic version. Used as an adjective to contrast with digital. Think of a clock that uses hands to tell time vs. and digital displayed numbers.

Congrats! Welcome to VT

Hey Brett. Awesome, welcome

Howdy! And Welcome to VT'

Grats on quiting and the new setup

Wasn't really being hasty Will. Thats why I said "most people I've talked to". Not my experience. I prefer building my own. That way I have no one to blame for quality except me. Plus, when I mess up, it gives me a chance to get better. Wasn't trying to step on any reviewers toes. Lol

new travel case

Just part of my "on the road" kit. My trucks dash isn't big enough for the all of it. Lol

*puts on fire suit... Ok you can fire it up now Tam. Just don't get to close to the Forum with it PHP Paper an HTML sticks are very flammable.

Stress is the number one cause of constricted blood vessels, heart failure. Tar & other toxins build up & cause constrictions, yes. Studies show that eCigs (nicotine without the tar & crapiolie) do not constrict, & the veins remain flexible. Studies show that nicotine actually promotes healthy cells. Smoke kills cells, nicotine multiplies thriving cells. Studies show that nicotine restores brain damage, cognitive skills, focus, and relieves Alzheimer's, ADHD, Parkinson's, and more. Until lately, they were always baffled by the smokers paradox. Smokers survived when non smokers died. Today, they want to delete the nicotine from real cigarettes & are doing their darnedest to ban eCigs and I'm sure the NRT's will be next. They now KNOW it's the smoke & tar that kills, & nicotine is the beneficial life saving aspect. Most smokers who died from smoking related diseases were in their 70's & 80's. They lived 20 years LONGER than their age groups life expectancy. There is STILL no link between passive smoking and lung cancer. It's environmental & some even swear it's from the cancer laden vaccinations. Smoking is the scapegoat. Smoking is down, cancer is up. Nicotine is FDA approved.
