    Technology has improved sooo much in the ecig werld from where they started
    THAT...

    After 40yrs of hardcore smoking (2 1/2 + pks daily non filters)

    I finally QUIT!!!

    Here's my story
    I werk n a Steelshop where we ALL smoke
    the guys I werk with started vaping a couple of yrs ago & watch'd them do both ecigs & cigs..
    They coodnt get enuff satisfaction in ecigs that they need'd a bigger kick than ecigs wood give'm
    I told'm that when ecigs cood kick like a mule I'd try it...
    One of the guys gotta new one a while back that had variable voltage & he was cough'n his lungs up & I ask'd him that cood be strong enuff fer me,,
    I tried it.. WOW
    Technology had changed enuff fer me ta give this fad a try...

    My mother-n-law gimme an old Evod tank & some cheapass battery & some "tabacco 24mg"
    & I started banging that thing like a screen door in a tornado...
    That was on Jan 7, 2015
    By 1/9/15 I was ebay order'g bigger batteries & tanks
    I had variable batteries overnited which I got in following Tues mail (still cheaper than buy'n local)...
    WOW whatta difference that made..
    I hadda go better now...
    I hadda Sigelei Zmax mod coming in on Sat mail & hadda have a nice tank ta fit on it,,
    I got on Craigslist & found a guy that hadda Aspire Nautilus mini fer $10.
    (cuz he coodnt get the cinnamon his gf pit in it out)
    We met up atta safe location fer the transaction & blazed back home waiting fer the mail lady ta deliver my Sigelei..
    18350 charged & ready,, mini filled up with tabacco 24 & mail lady up the street,,
    tick tock tick tock
    I still dont understand why it takes 20mins fer her ta get 300yrds on a Sat???
    Got it open,, tank on,, battery in, turn'd on & HIT FIRE BUTTON......
    thought my lungs were gonna explode.....
    I WAS HAPPY with the kick but COUGH'd up a lung. Hahagaaaaa
    it came outta the box with voltage set on 5v & wattage set on 10..
    Hmmmmmmmm lets turn it down some???
    My Bitter 1/2 says I needa stay on cigs if I'm gonna cough like that (she's a comic)..
    Got it turned down after a short YouTube video cuz it didnt have any instructions in sealed box..

    Ahhhhhhhh this is the ticket,,
    Good mouth hit
    Good flavor
    Good cloud
    Hmmm (lets try this like my young & stupid days of high skool)
    BONG HIT???
    Ohhhhhh yeah...
    Hadnt hadda cig since last Fri nite
    Dont get me wrong,, I went through 40ml last week soooo yes I hit this thing a lot...
    BUT NO CIGS FER ME SINCE..

    My findings & what really made me give up the ashes,,
    Was the warm/moist inhalations
    & from the change of variable voltage battery ta a Digital MOD & good tank
    Digital MOD gave my the OMG kick I was looking fer
    & the Nautilus verticle dual coils give me the taste I was looking fer

    The Bitter 1/2 says I can prolly save enuff fer the NEW BOAT I'm wanting???

    Ps. I know I spell funny but its easy cuz I'm from OKLAHOMA... Hahagagagagagaaaa

    Mtdobies got a reaction from mvince201 in lowest ohm i can safely go   
    Specs on the 25r are for continuous drain such as a flashlight. Remember these are "SAFE CHEMISTRY" batteries which means they don't "blow up" as people seem to believe or can't get it out of their head anyway.
    I personally have used these batteries quite frequently at super sub ohm being responsible and checking the charge on the batteries not letting them get below 3.6 before recharging. Just because I don't want the batteries too drained, not for fear of anything getting hot.
    Safety is always best and depending on the RDA and Mod your using its all a factor you can get nice clouds at a .2-.3 vape all day, I'm not saying chain vaping as that will strain your 25r or any battery, but regular vaping at .15 a 25r will last me all day.
    Specs are Not considered on a battery for pulse vaping.
    Its the lack of practical application actual use of these batteries and such that feeds big tobaccos agenda imo.
    That being said if we are going express a opinion perhaps it should be a bit more researched.
    Safety is always first ohm meters well charged batteries, maintain your equipment.
    In light of the new testing going on ATM to be on the safe side I would suggest staying at .2 or above perhaps until we figured out the formaldehyde reality.
    That would certainly be more realistic a concern then the improbability of a battery having problems but you want to be aware as I said of your charge of your battery to maintain its life.
    Congrats on no smoking.

    Mtdobies reacted to joejoevapekins in iStick and the Protank 2   
    voltage devices with Chinese origins often have a menu option that allows the user to switch between RMS and MEAN (or AVG) options. Which should you choose, and why? I'm no electrical engineer, so I can really only give you an overview of the engineering involved. What I can tell you is that RMS should be your choice.

    Let's start with the an explanation of why the RMS/Mean option is included in the first place. Many variable voltage devices use pulse width modulation (PWM) circuitry to deliver power. That's how we can get a 6 volt output from a 3.7volt battery. The power essentially goes on and off rapidly and looks like a wave on an oscilloscope.

    The VMAX and early versions of the ZMAX used this pulse width modulation, but used MEAN or AVG to measure and adjust the output. Because this method does not take into account the “off” time in PWM, the actual power output was often much higher than what the device was set to. You can set a VMAX to 4 volts and get output closer to 5 volts. It's a great way to burn a cartomizer if you're not careful.

    Later versions of the ZMAX have been referred to as having the “8th menu option,” which signifies the ability to switch the device between RMS and Mean. RMS measures the output much more accurately and will provide a much more consistent vape. Quite frankly, there is no reason to switch back to MEAN and it's curious why that would even be included as an option. It's like giving a driver a choice of an accurate speedometer or one that reads 10mph too low.

    So the short answer is that RMS is the easy choice. The question really is why were we given that choice in the first place?http://vapingguides.com/blog/2013/08/rms-and-mean/

    Yea thats why today is probably the last time i buy from my b&m except maybe replacement coils. Soon as i get my tax money im going to order my istick 30w and probablya subtank from sweet-vapes and then im also getting a sample pack from fadora. I finally figured out that i can order my juice online and get twice as much for the same price i would pay for 15ml at local b&m shops....and i realize i am a little slow on the uptake with where to get supplies but i am still new to all this...postive note is tomorrow will be 3 weeks without an analog and i just dropped down to 6mg nic.

    How YOU Can Help
    http://www.vapeavet.org/

    A lot of people ask us; how can I get involved and help out?
    Well, it depends! There are TONS of ways to help support our mission!

    For Retailers:

    1. If you’re a Brick and Mortar Retailer consider carrying Bottle Ready to Vape Liquids. 100% of the profits made from the sale of BRV Liquids are donated to the Vape a Vet Project and are used to fund the purchase of kits, pay for shipping, and cover the cost of outreach and support.

    2. If you’re a Juice Manufacturer, you can make a special flavor and use our logo on it and donate a portion of sales of that particular flavor to the project. It’s a really neat way to show vapers that you support the cause, and it really helps!

    3. For Juice Manufacturers and Mod Makers, you can always donate to the care packages we send monthly. We separate, package and distribute numerous care packages every month to soldiers around the world at no cost to them. Items donated must be new, unopened and not expired. (We treat e-juice similar to food, you wouldn’t donate a half eaten hamburger to someone would you?)

    4. If you’re an online retailer, consider making a coupon code with a matching donation. We suggest using the code VAPEAVET and maybe giving the individual 5% off their order with a 5% matching donation. It’s a great chance to do a little more while offering a chance for your customers to save some money.

    For Vapers:

    1. The single easiest way of supporting the project is by supporting BRV Liquids. Since that’s one of the main funding mechanisms for Vape a Vet, it’s a really easy way of supporting the Project by doing something you already do! You already vape, why not do a little more with the same money you’re already spending. Vape for a Cause!

    2. Talk to your local retailers, tell them about what we’re doing and ask them why they aren’t involved (if they aren’t). If they are involved give them a high 5 on us! Or, if that’s not the cool thing to do now, maybe a fist bump? I dunno, I’m not that cool.

    3. Spread the word! If you have family or friends who are serving or who have served who are current tobacco users, let them know about this amazing chance to give vaping a chance at no cost to them.

    Thank you for everything that you do as a community, we couldn’t do it without you!
