Second hand vapor may be harmless but it still can be annoying and irritating to others. I sure as hell don't want to be eating my dinner in a restaurant and have to smell some asswipes Tutti Fruity vapor.

I know the studies and agree but being an *** and vaping wherever you want with no regard for others is not putting vaping into the most favorable light. So you just blow a cloud when sitting at a table at Chilis or Applebys? What about the grocery? These are the types of places I am talking about and in many areas vaping indoors has already become banned just like cigarettes. Not saying it is right but it is a fact we vapers have to live with and being completely thoughtless to those around you because we know it is relatively harmless doesn't go a long way toward educating people or advancing our cause. I never feel like a nutty boy when I vape I just try to do it in a respectful and classy way.

Just wanted to drop a few lines about my thoughts on temperature control and nickel wire as of late. I've been using a Heatvape Invader Mini 50W with an eGo ONE 1.8ml tank (rebuilt .15Ω Ni200 coil/JOC wick) as my ADV for about 6 weeks now, and it's been a great setup for me. This is the best vape I've had to date because now, every time I hit the fire button, I get a consistent, satisfying vape. I've not had a single dry hit (even when accidentally running my tank bone-dry a few times), and I've also not noticed any "coloring" of my juices' flavor from the nickel coils (tastes like chicken...er, Kanthal). In addition, the sheer number of coil-wraps required to meet my mod's minimum TC load using such a low-resistance wire makes for a coil with a lot of surface area from which to provide vapor. Nickel coil resistances can be a little dodgy from build to build, but that's easily compensated for by increases/decreases in the power and temperature settings of the TC mod. I can pretty much adjust the mod's settings to make each new build perform like the last build, so nickel's (apparent) inconsistency is not really that much of an issue. For rebuilding my eGo ONE's coil head, I make 12 wraps of 28g Ni200 around a 3mm Kuro coiler, and then tug a little on the leads to get a slight space between the wraps. That usually puts me in the vicinity of .15Ω, which is comfortably above the .1Ω minimum TC resistance of my mod. Vaping with temperature control technology has been pleasurable for me at least, and as more and more reasonably-priced and reliable devices pop up on the scene, I feel like it might just change the way vapers enjoy vapor... ...but that's just my opinion...what's yours?

I agree about strong perfumes and colognes. I find very few things as offensive as someone who feels they need to "bathe" in their perfume or cologne. However, perfumes and colognes don't emit large clouds of vapor and give the appearance of smoking; they only emit (sometimes) unwelcome scents. Whether second hand vape is harmless or not, I believe there is a certain degree of courtesy due to the general public, especially in light of all the bad press vaping gets. It isn't about feeling like a "nutty boy" every time you vape in public, it's about common sense. Huge clouds and a general "I don't give a darn" attitude about public perception will only serve to strengthen the anti-vaping platform.

I hope this makes you laugh......and cry.......and experience a couple of dozen other emotions we all feel every day. if nothing else just imagine Kate Bush helping you through this one .....

Guess we all have times when a cig seems to be the only 'answer'. Stress is the driver, and frustration with equipment seems to follow. ( at least for me ) Agree with Tam 100% about having a simple, ALWAYS WORKS set up handy. TC and sub-omhing mega watts are nice, but a BCC coil head at 8-10 watts gives me that ' AH....' moment when it is needed. Hang Loose, as we used to say in the 60's, lol.

Despite all the fancy toys I have all over the place, when things get really stressful and I need something simple that just works... I reach for my trusty Vision Spinner with an Anyvape Davide mini (a Kanger Pro Tank mini is nearly identical) and vape away. Sometimes simple is beauty beyond compare. I hope things smooth out for you soon.

Don't beat yourself up over having some cigs. Maybe find a simple set up like a Spinner with an Evod tank until this stressful time blows over.

Yeah if it was Hydra Bones that would be different
