  1. I was just excited it wasnt a 30 day vaper wanting to build a .2 sub ohm blindfolded to blow the big cloudzzzz lol
  2. I remember how excited I was at 30 days, then 60, then 90 then 6 months and before you know it you are thinking in terms of years not months or days. The MAIN thing is today, it is what is in your immediate control. Like Jeff said years are just a whole bunch of "todays" strung together! Keep it up!
  3. That's what I am saying lol. For more sensitive situations have a higher mg nic and higher PG % liquid and when held in for 10-15 seconds there is no visible vapor at all. I honestly tried to think of a place I have been in the last almost two years I felt like I "couldn't" vape and I cannot think of a one.
  4. I have yet to find a hard and fast "no no" place lol. Everywhere has a bathroom haha.
  5. It might be something I would use on a very long flight or something like that but the rest of the time I will be vaping. I feel bad for those that cannot vape openly; it is such a great means to educate people about it. Almost all my clients at work know about it and many have made the switch themselves. I bet over 100 people now vape that used to smoke after they saw how successful it was for me. Its a great feeling. I would continue to try and educate those around me so maybe the doors open a bit.
  6. Not caffeine, I get enough from diet sodas and Crystal Light with Caffeine lol. Now they might get my attention of one could vape bourbon and get a good bourbon buzz haha.
  7. Never heard of it but also haven't had the problem with public places. Many restaurants and businesses in my area are ok with it if you ask and aren't being a ****** blowing huge clouds on those seated around you. I have vaped in every airport I have been in in the last couple years but not on a plane even though I know I could have. I guess I am lucky that first I am the boss and make the rules at work and the owners of the business I run support employees vaping instead of smoking.
  8. I only use Vision Spinner 2s and Anyvape Davide tanks and have for over a year. If its not broke....
  9. When I first started vaping like everyone else I thought I needed a tobacco flavor and found a pretty good one for me at Sweet-Vapes. Before I could go through the 120ml I bought I no longer wanted tobacco and started experimenting with flavors and ended up with a flavor from Fuzion I still vape almost exclusively. Nothing smells as bad as cigarettes. If anything people say my office smells like scented candles. Most people think they like or need tobacco flavors at first but when your tastebuds start to heal you will most likely find you want something different. Most do, some continue to vape tobacco its an individual decision. I know nothing of the IStick. I have always used Vision batteries and will most likely never switch. Solid performance and all the features I want for around $25 each. I use Davide tanks but only with single coils.
  10. Absolutely most of your standard setups with higher PG ratio liquids will put out less vapor than a cigarette does smoke. There is also very little lingering smell. It is something constant I battle with since I use a higher VG blend. I use standard tanks, single coils and Vision Spinner 2s. I hold it in longer when I want less vapor. Just holding your draw in for 10-15 seconds will reduce the vapor exhaled by 75+%. I vape about everywhere I go and never have had a issue when holding it in and being discreet.
  11. LOL I agree. Its a hot button issue with me. I finally unsubscribed from all the local Facebook Vape Groups and even the national groups have made the turn from "smoking cessation" vaping to modifying equipment to do borderline more than it was built to do. I do not mean to be so harsh, I rarely respond anymore to the dozens of posts I see each month from noobs wanting to jump right into rebuildables and subohming after vaping a month. I just do not get it. What about a huge cloud makes quitting smoking easier? That's just the thing for me, its not about quitting smoking at all at that point. Its about who can push their equipment to the limit the best without blowing it up. To each their own I guess it just makes me a little irate at times. I think people do not understand that vaping as we know it could end with one vote in the legislature and the millions of people who truly vape to stay off analogs and use pre-made factory equipment could have their rights restricted by a very loud minority of people who could care less about quitting smoking but more about who can blow the biggest cloud? I just have to LOL at that. Hard to sugar coat it.
  12. Pretty typical for B&Ms with no training or education. All you need to open a B&M is the money it unfortunately requires none of the knowledge. Someday when we get regulated to death because of unsafe sub-ohm builds there will be a lot of people to thank. It has transformed a smoking cessation technique into a hazardous hobby that doesn't amount to much more than a %$^* measuring contest. Personally I would like to see anything under a 1.5ohm build banned from commercial sale. I sound like a broken record but I see sub-ohming and cloud chasing as the single biggest threat to our freedom to vape possibly bigger than all other things combined. It completely takes the focus away from vaping to stop using tobacco and places the focus on the very vocal minority of vapers that practice this activity that is very dangerous without practice, knowledge and training. Ridiculous prices and this type of activity is why I never have and hopefully never will have to walk into a B&M to buy the gear I use.
  13. Hard to compare since I do not have or use a Nautilus but I toss the Dual Coils that come with the Davides I use and only use KPT single coils. Like most things Vaping related I am sure there are too many variables to consider for anyone to say a coil should last x amount of days. It is largely dependent on the liquid you use and how hard you push the power lol. Some people change coils when they die or stop performing. I change coils whenever I notice a drop-off in taste which for me is usually after vaping 6-8 tankfuls. With any coil you can clean, dry burn, re-wick (I assume one can with Nautilus like the other coils) and extend the life. I just never really do that. I know not specific nor a direct answer but its that way with most things "vape".
  14. I age my liquid by accident. When I get down to 100-120ml I order another 250ml. It ends up sitting for a month or so before I open it but in all my current vapes I cannot tell a bit of difference between the day it comes in and the day I start vaping it. I think aging can be beneficial with some liquids but none of those I regularly use.
  15. I have a couple "Cloupor" products but not for vaping specifically. They make the best dry vaporizer with a 510 connection I have ever seen (sorry mods I tried to be subtle lol)
  16. I have found most people with a PG allergy do not find out when they start vaping. Usually the inherent healing of tastebuds and the feelings associated with it can cause a lack of taste, slight burning on the tongue and other symptoms which rarely are a true PG allergy. I use mainly a VG base but still have 20% or so of PG based flavorings. Usually if someone has a PG allergy they find out bore they start vaping because deodorant, shampoo, toothpaste, soap, perfume and a multitude of items we use every day in our lives contain PG.
  17. Not sure about an e-leaf (I havent kept up with the latest stuff since I still use my old faithfuls) but you will not find a better tank for the money than a Davide or Davide mini. I toss out the BDC pop in a KPT single coil and roll. Never had a problem and I have over a dozen now. Highly recommend it as a tank.
  18. I have ordered very close to all of my stuff from them and have never had an issue. There are 3 Full size Davides and 10 T3S's on my desk right now that I ordered Thursday. I try and use the VT store when they have everything I need but still prefer to get everything at once. Dayna and Chuck at Sweet-Vapes are always on point. They are also a B&M with a physical phone number and I have never had a call go unanswered or returned shortly. You are dealing with sweet-vapes.com and not sweetvapes.com right? The dash makes all the difference lol.
  19. Buck Naked #3 getting ready to bust Bambi's daddys azz in the morning! Comp you da man! Tried Zeusjuice too and really like it. Amazing I am branching out a little after vaping the same flavor for a year and a half straight lol.
  20. They are all I use and I vape at 3.8v with 1.8ohm single coils. Between the wife and I we have 12 Spinner 2s we rotate. I could go non VV at this point but the features and life make me love this battery. I would think you would need 2.2 or even 2.5ohm to max the power. I start to get a burned taste over 4v and can't tell a difference between 3.8 and 4v so I keep it at 3.8 since it locks in place there lol.
  21. I have 5 1300mah and 12 Spinner 2s between the wife and I and no issues. About everyone I know uses the Spinner 2s at this point unless they carry a mod. I think it's a bad apple. The only Spinner I have since atarting vaping in April of 2013 that has died was submerge in the surf for almost an hour. When the tide went out 1 saw the lanyard that broke in the surf swishing around and the battery was under the sand about 6inches with only the tip of the lanyard sticking out. I put it in a glass of rice overnight and used it for a couple more months before it died but when it did did the symptoms were the same as described in the OP.
  22. None of my 12 spinner 2s have had any issue and the charging issue has disappeared once I started using Vision chargers. Funny thing the Vision chargers do not charge Spinner 1s without the lights flashing every couple minutes. For me that problem was fixed by stopping use of my Joyetech chargers with the 2s but I have to use the Joyetech to charge the 1s. Your other issue is exactly what happened when one of my 1300mah 1s bit the dust after a little over a year and a saltwater bath lol.
