Bebop

Welcome Dersy.

It's difficult to forsee a full ban. I just dont know how it's possible. Largely due to the fact that DIY is so easy. I could see saving a few tanks, not tossing your spent coils. Get a roll of kanthal. Even then how do you ban this stuff? It's just not practical. I see heavy taxation, strict regulation which means the little guy will be out and big tobacco moves in. It's all about controlling an industry that's here to stay. And only the veterans will be upset as they will remember "the way it was".

You're good.

That's cool. ......a smoker complaining about stinking.....that's funny. It only took a month or two before I realized how bad we smokers stank, lol. Acceptance of vaping varies widely, too. Some places it's no big deal other places treat it like the plague. Still in its infancy, really.

For someone brand new to vaping I always recommend starting with a starter kit. It gives you all the basic supplies you need to get going. Unfortunately, starter kits can be confusing and vary widely too. I recommend getting the Evod starter kit you can find right here at the vapor talk store. It's a kit that performs well, is competitively priced and will be useful for the next 6months while you read up and educate yourself on vaping to see if you want to explore further the possibilities of vaping. Once you buy this kit, you will need to purchase juice for refilling your tanks and you will need to buy "coils" which are the replaceable heating element that fits in your tank. They have a short life, usually lasting anywhere from a week to 3 weeks depending on the juice you are vaping. The coil that comes with the kit I mentioned is very popular and very available. Juice: Juice is VERY subjective and I'm not kidding. You may read a review about how amazing a juice tastes and you may hate it. You are just going to have to experiment. Best is if you have a local shop where you can test to your liking. In the liquid reviews section there are lots of good recommendations. Nicotine - if you are a smoker trying to quit nicotine levels in the juice are critical to your success. Please tell your smoking habits and I will advise further. I recommend you read all the stickies in each sub forum for further education. Some of them are a little outdated and do not contain the most modern equipment but the general idea is there. Ask questions in the main forum to clarify. Start with the sticky that covers the terminology of vaping. There are a lot of words to know so you understand what everybody is talking about. Until you understand the basics and have some experience with vaping, I would avoid any of the over complicated aspects of vaping like advanced personal vaporizers, "mods" , building your own coils and such. That's just advice for now. Tell us more about your history and purpose for vaping? Do you know what kind your friend has?

It only gets better from here. In a short while you'll wonder why you ever put an analog in your mouth, it will seem so alien to you. Ecigs seem to be getting around to the offshore guys. You seeing a trend yet? We have a few guys here doing the same.

Awesome story. Not only do ugotit but you're in. Welcome to the clubhouse.

There is also a study out. (Comp posted the video) and in that video the study showed that noob vapers tend to not get as much nicotine absorbtion as an experienced vaper largely because of their technique. This is another reason why noobs trying to quit may want to up their nic levels til they get it going on.

Okay. Yeah thats a standard ego charger. Had me worried for a minute.

1.8's are ideal for me for flavor and vapor production

Man, I'm realizing what a lightweight I am compared to some of you guys, lol Oh well, 15 - 20ml a week does me just fine.

Well, you have to keep in mind that it's vapor and not smoke. Vapor dissipates more quickly than smoke. Smoke is made of carbon particles. Vapor is just "steam". It's moisture mixed with air. After any length of time the air absorbs the moisture pretty quickly and that's why if you hold the hit for any length of time it just dissipates whether you exhale or not.

Are you asking for the maker or the supplier? My top 6 makers: Vaping Monkey Space Jam Five Pawns Fadora Highbrow Suicide Bunny Edit: can't believe I forgot SB

If you like mint the mint medley is the best. The margarita is a great lime sour Banana kiwi - outstanding Spiced apple - rich ....i guess there's no way around it. You're gonns hafta do the sampler.

Based on the pics you could have a short to the deck on the lower coil. Also looks flooded

Two things - Is the resistance balanced between coils? The wicking material needs to be balanced as well. If juice flow is not equal to each coil they will perform differently. The position and size of the air holes relative to the coils is important.

Ohm Cheka leka leka Ohm Cheka leka leka Ohm Cheka leka leka Ohm Cheka leka leka I'm here all week, folks.

Yeah that's just plain dumb advice. It's your party and you can drip what you want Come on, sing with me... Dripping in the name of! **** you, I won't do what you tell me! **** you, I won't do what you tell me! **** you, I won't do what you tell me! **** you, I won't do what you tell me! **** you, I won't do what you tell me! Repeat til you feel better"..

Know what would be cool? A new sticky - sort of a "quick guide" . You know something that summarizes the basics and then refers you to deeper locations for details.. That would be sweet, hint hint *cough comp cough*

Although I might add a few of the stickies could do with a little updating to bring in to modern times.. I wonder if that's possible?

Lol. Something should be in there to suggest that a minimumof 4 hours of personal reasearch should be done in the applicable forum before posting a question READ THE STICKIES!!!!

I know it's tough. Just my opinion but even though his mind may be gone you have to keep in your own mind the thoughts of how he really is at his best. I know you do bit it will help you get thru it. When my own mother became ill and eventually slipped in to a coma i had a long private conversation with her. I reminisced with her on the wonderful moments of her life. I acknowledged all the help and good she had been in her life. I let her know we all loved her annd would miss her and she would remain very much a part of our lives. She passed in her sleep that night. It was beautiful. I only say this to make the point that although it seems difficult you CAN still communicate to your father and he will get it. Mike

Thank god for the safety patrol!

Yep. 2 10ml bottles. Coils, batteries and full tanks.

I have successfully lowered my nic levels to 6mg from 24mg but one time I made the jump from 18mg to 6mg and it was a little rough for me. Lowering more gradually was key for me. If that's what you want to do I would suggest a little bit at a time and keep one up for when you think you need it. I can't even vape 24mg any more, lol. I taste the bitter nic and find it unpleasant.
