Bebop

You def want to get off this drug. But make sure you see doc about it so you can get off safely. There will be lawsuits on this drug.

Actually, i should made a smiley face. I was joking about drunk vision employees..

A true "vision spinner"....

Lots to read in the DIY section. I'd start there. Posts going back a couple of years

I have 4 of 'em. No complaints. My oldest ones are prob going on 9months still kicking strong. Dont know what to say. Haven't heard any complaints

Welcome! Awesome story. Enjoy the crew here. They'll help you out.

Starship 1 is the ****. I just bought another bottle of it today..

That looks amazingly like the vision victory....

Lol. I watched Big Bang Theory last night...

Very little I have seen on patinas here at VT. Might have better luck with that topic on youtube

Ok, I was just going to scan it but I ended up watching the whole thing. As dry as it is, it's a very impartial look at ecigs and quite favorable in a lot of respects. One of the interesting aspects of the lecture is she states that there is concern that over regulating ecigs could possibly reduce their effectiveness by making it harder for those wishing to use ecigs as a smoking cessation product to acquire ecigs. Although at the time of this lecture she did not have results from a study currently underway, she alluded to evidence suggesting that cigs were by a far margin the most effective smoking cessation product available. And she does give a nice analogy on "safe products" pointing out that the evidence is overwhelming that ecigs are safer than smoking tobacco and that "safety" is a relative issue, much like the "safety" of razor blades and cleaning products. In other words a product used incorrectly can be unsafe yet deemed to be "safe" for consumers. There is also an interesting section on the absorption of nicotine and how the absorption can vary simply because of the experience level of the user. It may explain why some struggle with dropping cigarettes when they first start vaping. I overall very favorable, but this video is pretty dry to sit through. Good objective analysis of the ecig.

Is this the Vegas place? A smoke shop with a line of e-juice? If it is, I haven't had much luck with those types of places. Although to be fair there is a smoke shop near me that a year ago was crapola, but I happened to stop in there because I was in the area and they have expanded greatly and now carry quite a few nice lines of e-juice. Still too expensive for the real stuff, though.

Hehee...

What juices are you vaping and what us your pg/vg mix mvince?

"Luke, I am your farter"

All these guys are awesome, Matt.......'cept for one of them. Watch out for HIM! *runs away snickering*

$5 a coil? Ouch....

Somewhere on the order of 250 - 300 full cycles. So you should get anywhere from a little less than a year to as much as 2 depending on how you vape and you dont mistreat or let batteries heat up in a car or something

"Self-discharge is a phenomenon in batteries in which internal chemical reactions reduce the stored charge of the battery without any connection between the electrodes. Self-discharge decreases the shelf-life of batteries and causes them to initially have less than a full charge when actually put to use.How fast self-discharge in a battery occurs is dependent on the type of battery, state of charge, charging current, ambient temperature and other factors. Typically, among rechargeable batteries,lithium-ion batteries suffer the least amount of self-discharge (around 23% discharge per month), while nickel-based batteries are more seriously affected by the phenomenon (nickel cadmium, 1520% per month; nickel metal hydride, 30% per month), with the exception of Low self-discharge NiMH batteries (2-3% per month).Primary batteries, which cannot be recharged between manufacturing and use, have much lower self-discharge rates.[citation needed] Self-discharge is a chemical reaction, just as closed-circuit discharge is, and tends to occur more quickly at higher temperatures. Storing batteries at lower temperatures thus reduces the rate of self-discharge and preserves the initial energy stored in the battery. Self-discharge is also thought to be reduced over time as a passivation layer develops on the electrodes." I think your fine if you're talking months. The 40% figure is just to keep the battery above a minimum voltage. Once a lith ion batttery goes below a certain voltage it cannot be recharged. Our batteries have a circuit that shuts the battery down when it reaches a threshold. This prevents it from "over discharging". And as joe joe has pointed out. Heat is the number one enemy of a lith ion.

Actually I read somewhere (and this was months ago on a site re lith ion batts) that storing them with a charge is more optimal than not. And as I recall they actually hold their charge pretty well with only a tiny bit of fade. I'll see if I can find this again and I'll post it up.

I don't know. I'm not convinced it's the insulator that is causing the leak. The center hole shoots right up to your coil. If it's leaking anywhere it's going to leak there first. The insulator is just keeping the center post from shorting out to the outside of the coil head. It's more likely a coil wrap problem or a wick problem. I also can't imagine how that insulator would get damaged anyway. It doesn't come in to contact with anything but the coil head housing. And even if it did rupture it's not a liquid seal, it's an electrical seal. The liquid is just going to come down the center post. Are you sure the coil head is screwed all the way down in to the base? There could be a burr in the threads preventing a good seal.

Ok. Those are sweet

Sorry to hear. Glad you are there with him
