Weight Gain & Subsequent Weight Loss
bcartervol98 replied to bcartervol98's topic in Vaping Health & Safety
220 is my goal but I may dip just below that. Weight Watchers shows for my height I should be a max of 196 but dam I am 6'2" and a large frame. I was about 210 in college in the mid 90s and just didnt look right. I think keeping it between 220 and 225 is the ticket for me long term. -

Weighed in this morning and shed another 3.8 lbs! 52.2 total loss 16.1% of body weight lost Under 260 for the first time in over a decade at 259.2! At this rate I will hit my goal before Christmas!! -
I couldn't believe this..
bcartervol98 replied to ParkwayNightmare's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Never heard of them but when you say "clone" I generally associate that with a mechanical mod. With APVs like the Vamo and MVP generally I call those "knockoffs". Personally I believe in the "If its too good to be true then it most likely is" guideline. Have you looked in the Vapor Talk store or any other reputable US suppliers? Things are always going to be marked up more with a local retailer. -
Clearing Forums from new posts

And mobile works fine it's only on my PC that this issue occurs. I also run Firefox. -
There once was a man from Nantucket.......

That's what makes this forum so great. I still feel like I owe this forum for how much it helped me in the early days. It's easy now but not in the early days especially finding a flavor I liked. I bet I shipped out 2000ml of unwanted liquids before I found what I like. Gotta pay it forward!

What would you recommend to a new vaper?
bcartervol98 replied to TheRealKaty's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Well Spinner 2s weren't around when I started vaping but definitely a Spinner kit with Davide Mini for the tank. Basically what I used since probably day 30 after buying a non VV EgoT kit before I found the forum. Mods and APVs or any rebuildable are not my cup of tea. -
For some reason when I try to clear the new posts in subforums I do not read it tells me: Sorry, you don't have permission for that!

For the most part I think IClear is a cheap tank to add into starter kits that is BARELY better than a disposable CE4.
-
Great advice! It definitely gets easier. Only thing I would add is when trying flavors at any B&M realize most samples are either 0 or very low nicotine so when you get 24mg it will taste completely different. It can however tell what "type" of flavor profile you like and would assist you when ordering online (which will always be the best deal, there are countless GREAT companies out there VaporTalk Store, Sweet-Vapes, Fuzion, ECBlends and Fadora Vapor just to name a few. Remember too that everyones taste is different and what tastes like heaven to you might taste like baby diaper to another lol.

I second everything Tam said! Cant really think of anything to add to be honest.

Innokin Itaste MVP V2 - Please educate VT!
bcartervol98 replied to eGoDamus's topic in General Vaping Discussion
VV means the battery will fire at the voltage set regardless of the resistance of your coil VW means you can set it where you like it and it will automatically match the voltage with the resistance of the coil to produce a consistent vape regardless of the resistance. VW was cool to me at first but when I realized I only was going to use one resistance I have just used VV from that point forward. I vape at 3.8v with 1.8ohm coils which is roughly equivalent to 7.5-8.0 watts -
Its just hard to understand the premise that increased air flow diminishes or dilutes flavor when, in this comparison, the tank with the most airflow produced the most flavor and the tank with the least airflow had diminished flavor. I cannot speak for RDA/RBA as I have and will never use one but with tanks I firmly believe it is the correct ratio of air to vapor that produces optimal flavor. I am sure you could have too much airflow but in the comparison being discussed it doesn't seem to be the case.
-
I would have to say this is false imo. I think more airflow increases flavor and vapor production when talking about tanks.

Weight Gain & Subsequent Weight Loss

Kind of lost track posting in this thread but an update. As of this morning I am down a total of 48.4 lbs and am at my lowest weight in over a decade! Only 40 more lbs to my final goal! Self high five! -
I did lol.

I am about $80 for two people but I probably change coils more than most and my liquid is on the higher end of the cost scale ($115 for 120ml). We spent around $550 per month on analogs! For me saving money was a huge motivating factor even though I am spending my savings on the boat haha.
-
I bought a Vamo at one point but prefer Ego style batteries specifically Vision Spinners so I sold my Vamo and all my batteries and charger to a member here. I think some people feel like they "have to" move up but I am cool right where I am. The combination of tank and battery I use with my VG heavy liquid I use produces enough (borderline too much) vapor and all I use are single coils as well. Use what works for you and do not feel like you have to do anything. Remember for some it is a hobby and for others (like me) it is about never smoking another analog. Neither is right or wrong just up to each individual. I will never use anything that requires rebuilding and to be honest for me the only thing I missed from my Vamo was knowing how much battery life I have left and the Spinner 2s fixed that issue without having to carry a light saber in my pocket lol.

HUGE difference in the airflow of a KPT2 vs Davide Mini.
-
I think it is the design as well. As most of you know I have vaped one flavor for way over a year. Haven't even tried anything else nor wanted to. The liquid in any other tank I have tried except my Davide mInis tastes way different. If you tried it in a KPT2 and a Davide mini side by side you might not even recognize it as the same flavor. Personally I believe it to be the design of the Mini Davide base and the way once it is filled with liquid it keeps the wick soaked better than any other tank I have tried. It is a little more challenging to fill at times but the end result is worth the little more effort it takes. Secondly it has the PERFECT draw for me and produces clouds of vapor with my VG based liquid I use which I attribute to both the design of the base and the airflow ratio.

How much juice do you use in a week?
bcartervol98 replied to charles vapor's topic in Polls and Questionnaires
About 30-35ml per week here depending on stress level at work. Some days I knock out my 2.5ml tank in 4-5 hours others it lasts me the day plus some. -
Vision Spinner. Junk?!
bcartervol98 replied to mvince201's topic in Troubleshooting & Technical Issues
I have mainly used Vision Spinners and have had no issue. The only ones I have hs die was about a 15 month old Spinner 1 that died a couple months after being lost in the surf at the beach then found about a half hour later miraculously. It lasted another couple months but eventually died. The only other issue is they do not float because my wife has given two of them a burial at sea and they still reside in about 30 feet of water in our cove lol. -
Hands down this. In my opinion the Spinner 2 is the best value available. They are almost all I use.

Endless Summer from Fuzion. It's the only flavor I have used for way over a year.
