I work at a hospital which went tobacco free.They mostly have it in for smokers but want to have the appearance of not discriminating.I just stealth vape and have for nine or ten months,as long as they don't test for nic no one should be the wiser.The vaping went so well I haven't smoked since July of 09'.

I would think a drop of food coloring in the poly would work nicely and not hurt anything .The marks would come off the outside I am afraid.

Spade Problem: Battery Or Charger ?
mcquinn replied to Vacker1229's topic in Troubleshooting & Technical Issues
Just a temp fix ,but I have put tape around my 510 and adapter unit that leaks too much air for my taste. -
I think I would have used a caveman instead.

Need Some Input From The Folks Of Vapor Talk
mcquinn replied to hdryder's topic in General Vaping Discussion
I think if you could find a place cheap enough it could work ,a lot of people are looking for a place to socialise and you could have local musicians play for tips .We have some colleges in our town and college kids like coffe shops to hang out in and drink coffeee and eat biscotti. -
Just Ordered A New Bass Guitar
mcquinn replied to mcquinn's topic in The Vape Lounge - Off Topic Chat
http://www.vaportalk.com/forum/forum/index.php?/gallery/image/379-new-bass/ Haven't got my recording gear set up now ,I have been out of it for a while and most of my stuff is put away. -
After you get done with one you think of something you wished you did different,and they are so inexpensive to build there is no reason not to have another go.
-
Be prepared to build a bunch of these ,it gets addictive .After you finish one you think of something you wished you had done different so you build another ,then another.I have four of the boxes and one pipe mod and three passthroughs so far.

Just Ordered A New Bass Guitar
mcquinn replied to mcquinn's topic in The Vape Lounge - Off Topic Chat
The bass finally arrived,it was on backorder for a while.I think I am really going to like it.It seems plenty loud for practicing and the length is similar to my P bass copy.It has a built in tuner .It has more sustain than I thought it would and it is pretty easy to find my way around as it has markers inlaid in the neck. -
I use both 302's and 901's and I think they perform very similar the 302 just has bigger carts which is what I normally use.I only bought some 510 clones and the 901's when there was a shortage of 302's last year and I didn't want to not have plenty of spares on hand so I got some adapters to use them on my Kissbox passthroughs and 801 batteries.

Welcome Summ27 the 510 is a good choice as they have the mega batteries which fall somewhere between the regular batteries and the Tornado/Ego .the reason I suggest the 510 is you might not want to commit so much money until you are sure you like it.Most 510 starter kits come with two complete units and a charger so if you just ordered a few extra mega batteries and a few extra attomisers you should be set.If you decide you like vaping you can always upgrade and use the 510's as backups or as easier to carry around units.I like the 901's but I do not think they make the larger batteries for them although you can use the KR808 mega batteries on them.I have been doing this for eight or nine months and have gotten off the ciggerettes all together and I am almost off nicotine as well,vaping is not like smoking in any way but the physical one ,but I find it a good alternative.I have not found any liquid that tastes like a ciggerette but there are some very good flavors that I am sure you will like and look forward to .

You can go to a computer or office store and buy a usb extension cable ,they are the bomb ,you don't have sit next to an outlet that way.The thing about high voltage atty's was discussed in detail in the string " Watts Rate Topic: "
-
The 901 I am vaping on now is 3.7 ohms,it is wet and hot though.I don't have any spares at this time,I tried Rath juice and lost four attys on two bottles.Shame ,it was very tasty but I won't be buying that any more.

Watts with PV's is like watts with lightbulb higher wattage = more heat,if you apply more voltage you will increase the wattage and heat ,the high voltage atty's will put out a similar amount of heat at high voltage as a low voltage atty at low voltage ,so if you are looking to get more heat to make more vapor the high voltage atty's most likely will not deliver the goods. The unit of resistance is called Ohm in honor of a German scientice by the name of Georg Simon Ohm, who discovered that when a conductor has a resistance of 1 ohm then an emf of 1 volt will cause a current of 1 amp to flow through a conductor. Ohms Law. I = E/R or R = E/I or E = IR. DC. or Direct Current is one that the current always flows in one direction. The letter for Current is I and is expressed in amperes. The letter for voltage is E and is expressed in volts. The letter for resistance is R and is expressed in ohms. The letters for power or wattage are P and W and are expressed power and watts. The formulas for ohms law are. If you know R the resistance and E the voltage the formula for finding I current is I = E/R. If you know E the voltage and I the current the formular for R resistance is R =E/I. If you know I the current and R the resistance the formula for E voltage is E = IR. If you know I the current and E the voltage the formula for P power or W watts is P =EI. If you know W watts and I current the formula for E voltage is E = P/I. If you know W Watts and E voltage the formula for I current is I = P/E.

The protection circut disconnects the battery if the voltage falls below a certain level ,so the answer to your question is the vapor will start falling off then it will just stop making any ,you will kind of get a routine,with my 10440's I just charge them when I get home from running and I will be using my passthrough.They will then be ready to go the next day.

Liquid is subject to oxidation and light degradation so keep them in a cool dark place and they should last for quite a while,if it the liquid was on a super low sale price it might be old stock that has some age to start with.I would say that the atty is affecting the taste due to leftover residue from the Halo juice.Try a new atty.I have noticed that domestic juices while they taste great seem to leave a lot of residue and carbon in the atty .I think what ever they use for the great taste is what does it .This is my opinion and I think some of the juice is worth it and buy it anyway.
-
They are all 3.7 volts two of the boxes have two 10440 batteries in parralel and the other two have one.The 3/4 copper pipe one will us one 18650 ,I have to order it and cut the pipe down after I find out how long it needs to be.The Kissbox passthrough has a DSE 901 atty on it and the box has a Joye 302 on it for scale.

15 to 20 ml a week for me. -
Finicky Five-Ten Passthrough
mcquinn replied to Tektronik's topic in Troubleshooting & Technical Issues
Is this the passthrough wiith or without the battery?I would get a hold of Jason at ElectroNicstix and see what he says ,chances are he will replace it, as he is one fine individual.If it is one without battery you just might not have a strong enough power supply it should be 1,000 mAh which equals 1 amp or larger if you have one of the 400 mAh chargers I would guess it is not delivering the required power.The ones with the batteries will usually work ok on the 400 mAh chargers after the battery gets fully charged. -
Finicky Five-Ten Passthrough
mcquinn replied to Tektronik's topic in Troubleshooting & Technical Issues
That is weird indeed,The Chinese passthroughs as a rule are more complicated than the US ones which usually consist of a switch ,a cord and an atty connector held together by some flashy housing,the Chinese for some reason put voltage regulators and timing circuts in thier units some of it has to do with reducing the amp draw on computer usb ports and making the tactile switches last longer.I use mostly Kissbox passthroughs which have the battery box and circut board and have had pretty good luck ,I did have one that did as yours did it defied all standard trouble shooting logic.I contacted the supplier and they replaced it no questions asked.Or you could gor for the domestic ones ,I cannot vouch for those but most people on this forum swear by them and I defer to thier judgement on that.Or another option since you have some of the skills required is to build your own .I like to use automobile cell phone chargers for the body of mine and these can be aquired at Goodwill for really cheap so you can experiment the switches are at RadioShack or MadVapes and for usb cords I either take one off an old keyboard or mouse ,or buy a usb extension cord and cut it in half. -
I once got le whiff of le pew I would not recomend it at all.

In the 70's I think I remember sniffing other things.When they started the tobacco ban at my work I was trying everything.I dipped Copenhagen Black and it was awesome good but my dentist read me the riot act on that,then the powdered snuff it was good and did the trick but if dipping irritates the skin in your mouth and causes cancer then the powder must do the same thing to your sinuses.The I found the e-cigg and well the rest is history.In about eight months I am almost off nicotine all together.
-
I looked at Logitech forum and this is a common occurance for thier speakers.I never really did see anyone offer up a solution.I suppose I would just try another kind of speakers.
-
I did the sniffy snuff for a while B.E. (before e-cigg)and it wasn't too bad really kept the sinuses open.

I would go to Logitech website and get ahold of the support people and ask them ,they might even send you something.I have a lot Logitech products ,very good stuff.I have one of the programmable remotes and that is way cool.
