If those things don't work to get the pin to move up, try a regular sewing needle. Those are very small and may fit between the pin and housing to give you a better chance at prying it up. Be very gentle when you do this because the needle is so small, you risk breaking it if you're too rough.

I'm older than dirt, Adversarious, and probably one of the few rare females who isn't afraid to say so.

Considering how many cigarettes I smoked before I found vaping, I'm kinda surprised I got this old, too.

You're not alone, Walt. I'm an old fart too, and don't mind saying so!

You don't mention the PG/VG levels of your eliquid. Too much PG could cause some of the spitting with that coil.

Once vaping has been around for several decades, then we might see a study that tells us more about long term effects of vaping and your health. Until then, we'll continue to see so-called "studies" like the one referred to in this article. The article itself as no real information or hard numbers or how they came to their "conclusions." They also don't say anything about where the money came from to fund the research. Be very skeptical when you come across article like this, it may or may not have the facts -- might be they're reporting "alternate facts". LOL

... and a partridge in a pear tree... !

I will take your rule and challenge your claim to be the worst at breaking it, kind sir! Consider your challenge accepted.

The thread isn't worth reading if it doesn't get derailed once or fifteen time... oh, look! It's a squirrel! I live in the boonies where it's not a big deal to see rifles in the back windows of pick ups, open carry, CCW is pretty common too. Welcome to Colorado... where men are men and the cows are scared, lol.

With the FDA's deeming regulations, we've seen a few good online stores closing down lately. Our own Vapor Talk store is a good source for juice and hardware. @Christopher keeps the prices down and give excellent customer service! I also order regularly from EC Blends for juices, at last count I believe they had over 4000 different flavors and you can customize your juice quite a bit.

You should rejoin the good people on this forum. Congrats on your six year mark!

Are you sure this came down from the FDA? It actually makes sense...

Any flavor that you think you might enjoy will work for your set up. The level of PG and VG in your juice should really be no higher than 60 VG/40 PG, in my opinion, so that the juice is not too thick for your wick to soak up. Keep in mind that the darker, sweeter juices will gunk up a coil faster so you'll need to change it more often. Since you're trying to get off the analogs (cigarettes), at two weeks in, I would think that going down to 0 nic so soon will not keep you off the cigs. Most people need to start at a higher nic, vape that for several weeks (if not months), before lowering the level a little at a time. I started at 24 mg of nic when I picked up vaping with a set up much like what you're using (Spinner and T3S -- I still use my Spinners and Kanger Protank 3 mini for back ups). That got me off the cigs. Six months later I dropped down to 12 mg (18 mg wasn't available then). Vaped that for a year or longer before dropping down to 6 mg. If you drop to 0 too fast, chances are pretty good that it's going to be extremely hard to put down the last few cigs a day. This is just my experience.

If your juice is 70 VG/30 PG, that means it's more VG than PG, which may gunk up your coil a bit faster than if it had more PG. Sweeter juices are notorious for gunking up coils faster than juices that aren't quite as sweet. This would mean you may need to change your coil for a new one. The W beside the number (what's the number say?), means you're in wattage mode. If your number next to the W is too low, that will also affect the amount of vapor you get providing your coil is still good. If the number is low, for example it says 3.7W or something like that, I would turn it up just a little, vape. If that's not what you want, turn it up a little more, then vape again. Keep doing this until you either get the performance you want or you get a slight burnt taste. If you get a burnt taste, turn it down a little and that should be the sweet spot for that juice, that tank, and that coil. Do not turn it up too much, keep it at just a little at a time. If you go way too high too fast, you run the risk of burning the wick, which will ruin that coil because the burnt taste will not come out.

What @Earthling789 said. I would also like to add a request to know what material is your coil made of? Stainless steel, nickel, kanthal... and what resistance is this coil?

Back in the day, there wasn't much difference in flavor with different tanks... not like today where it can be worlds apart. Other than the difference between clearomizers and direct drip atomizers, there wasn't much to talk about.

And lasting much, much longer than the 40W mod (5000 mAh).

What coil do you have in your Baby Beast? How long has this current coil been inside your tank? Are you vaping sweet and/or dark juices? What VG level is your juice? On the iPower 80W display, on the far right hand side of the number, is there a W next to it or different letters? All of these questions can have something to do with you not getting the vapor you used to.

Yes, yes you are. What are you going to do to rectify this?

I know that some people use the ultrasonic cleaners to "age" their DIY juices faster.

Interesting concept. I wonder how well they will sell?

So much to geek out about with vaping.

@Edna Thank you for putting this up. How scary that they had so much information...

What flavor is your concentrate and what flavor of juice do you want to wind up with (if it's a mix)?

Or a story where the reporter gets *ALL* the facts and details of the story, not just enough to sensationalize the evils of e-cigs. They never have details, they only say things like, "...it started to spark and then exploded when he put it into his pocket..." and "...he is now in the burn unit at the hospital and must have skin grafts because an ecig battery exploded like a rocket..." Never a mention about what brand of battery, what resistance his coil was, if the battery was loose with change and keys in his pocket, if the batteries were stacked in the unregulated mod, if the mod was damaged in some way and the guy insisted on continuing to use it even though it was sparking when he took a hit... sheesh.
