iQuit

following some of the tips here helped my flooding/gurgling issues when I used KPTs

Hopefully it does not pass. I called/e-mailed everyone I know in NY to vote against the proposed ordinance. I live in California and I know they sell fruit flavored Swisher tobacco in liquor stores and gas stations (oh, the irony) . So I asked relatives to take pics of them for sale in NY, if there are any, and send it to their council members. IMO, this is the first step for BT to have their way and ban open systems. so all we have are cigalikes.

I like the smell of unlit tobacco. When out with friends who to still smoke, i grab one just to smell it while I vape. It feels really, really fantastic knowing that it no longer has power over me. As soon as someone lights up, I make sure I stand farther away. I can't stand burning tobacco... makes me gag.

http://blog.casaa.org/2014/10/call-to-action-new-york-city-is.html On October 7, 2014, Councilman Constantinides introduced an ordinance that would ban the sale of flavored e-cigarettes and flavored e-liquids in the five boroughs. As is often the case, flavor bans like this are poorly researched and fail to account for the fact that practically ALL e-liquid is “flavored”. Furthermore, this ordinance fails to carve out an exemption for dedicated vapor shops, allowing sales by tobacco bars only. In short, this would mean the end of vapor sales in New York City as we know it. The ordinance has been referred to the Committee on Health, and it is possible (if not likely) that this proposed ordinance will be heard in committee on Thursday, October 23, 2014. Tri-State area advocates are strongly encouraged to plan to attend. (We will update this Call to Action as additional information becomes available.) We are asking advocates in the Tri-State area to please contact NYC council members on the Health Committee and thoughtfully express your opposition to this ordinance.

I like LG HE2 over VTC4 as I get a little more mileage from it, but not much. BTW, Efests (depending on which ones you get) are rewrapped LG HE2 or VTC4, or at least as some claim on reddit and other sites. I am not a battery expert nor have I owned efests, so I cannot confirm. http://www.reddit.com/r/electronic_cigarette/comments/2b8ssw/battery_safety_psa_purple_efest_20a_may_not_be/

xtardirect sells button top Sony VTC4s but has their logo on it. but i like the magnet solution comp suggested if you plan on using the cell you already have

That's a sweet looking mod. I can see that paired with a bandoleer of 650 cells and juice bottles, and you're set for camping.

For me, side effects of too much nic and having a nic withdrawal is almost the same, minus the nausea. It might be different for others. I get the jitters when my blood sugar gets low. I have normal glucose level but I am somehwat of a gym rat ever since I quit analogs, so when I push my body hard, wham, I get the shakes, and light-headed. Only reason I mentioned that is because I noticed you said you run regularly... Oh, when I see a vape gear I really like, I get the cold sweats.

If nothing has changed much including vaping (same mg and same amount daily consumption), i would check with a medical professional. I agree with Tameki though. More often than not, it is a sign of too much nic in the system

As I love bakery flavored juices, I am interested in this topic as well. I am selective where I buy my juices from, but I have accepted that some of what I vape have traces of diacetyl. For me it is a calculated risk as I do not vape butttery/custard flavored juices all the time. Not sure how trace elements of diacetyl affects a person over time. That would probably depend on someone who has pre-existing respiratory problems, and other factors maybe such as genetic pre-desposition for such diseases Someone was awarded a multi-million settlement for developing popcorn lung. He ate 2 bags of popcorn a day for 10 years+ http://www.boston.com/dailydose/2012/09/20/you-need-worry-about-popcorn-lung-from-microwave-snacks/dDkwyN1sf2YoVsyszIIz3O/story.html

Check out Clementine by Vapor Boost. It has complex citrus flavor and natural. I liked it so much that I have a standing order every month. I would not recommend it for RDA use, unless someone prefers the flavor super strong

I hear you, man. Lots of higher wattage APV coming down the pipeline soon which is my only reason for waiting. There will be firmware updates and probably newer versions. These companies do not want to play catch up. When someone releases 50W - another will release 75W just to undercut the other one. Next thing you know we are at 180W. Yeah, Smy is relatively unknown. With my bad experiences with cloupor and Hana modz in the early stages of the 30W rollout,I ended up with Dovpo E-Mech. I was reluctant getting them because they are not a mainstream brand but am very glad of that decision.It turned up to be rock solid for what I needed them for. With that line of reasoning, I am keeping an open mind with Smy, not that I need 180W (75W is probably all I will ever need) but I likethe triple cell and how it looks, and the price is not so bad compared to others. In the end, I will most likely go for what I feel is the most reliable one in the 75W+ segment whoever they might be. I am in no hurry and my mechs willhave to suffice if I want to go low on my builds. I am also contemplating getting SX350 chip to do a little project but don't have time to do that and I have to be in the mood for a project like that.Otherwise, I will never finish it. Let us know how yours is when you get it... sharing is caring.

I canceled mine. I am waiting for the dust to settle on all these new APVs. I got my eye on God Mod by Smy ,,, 3x18650

I get dry hits sometimes when I wick the coils a tad too tightly, and only when chain vaping. When I am too lazy to re-wick, I just primer puff while covering the both airholes.

There's also Pontus by EHpro. Same principle as big dripper but looks like a KT tank

Cappuccino Caribeno from Vaporboost - taste more like Brazillian coffee with some creamy undertone and nice chocolate flavor on the exhale... very tasty but i find it muted in tanks but well pronounced with drippers.

Whoa... that's one way to alienate a segment of your demographic market as a premium supplier. I'm not cloud chaser nor participate in any competitions, but I respect everyone's vaping methodology, or how they spend and choices in their gear for that matter. Not sure if this post is an attempt to be edgy, entertaining, or expressing how you really feel about how others vape. If you are truly conveying concern about the possible ramifications on safety and how it may impact regulations, there are more objective ways in expressing them without prejudice. Organized competions or not, somewhere, someome, without the proper equipment and know-how will have an accident. At least with venues like these, you have experienced cloud chasers mentoring others new to the scene. And kudos to the organizer for temporarily shutting it down to hold a safety course. Maybe in the future, all events will hold one prior to the start of an event.

Dovpo site and product manual states series. By the way, E-Mech is a joint collaboration of Everzon and Dovpo. Dovpo holds the patent.

My goal is to be nic free. I'm currently at 6mg and ready to drop to 3mg as soon as I finish my juice in stock. I actually tried 0mg for a day (had to bum from a friend) when I got stranded somewhere else without my supply. It wasn't that bad. It took about 8-10 hrs before withdrawals kicked in

Dovpo is actually an ODM, as well as an OEM.. They will customize it for you (rebrand it or use your own company logo) if you are willing to shell out a one-time customization fee. VT can have their own logos on it if Chris wants them. But Chinese will clone anything so that is a possibility. However, I do not think they are that popular enough that warrants a clone. It's a niche market.

I love my RDAs and they still top the Orchid in flavor, and will always remain my favorite. Vapor is about the same. The difference in flavor is not far off and I find that a happy compromise in exchange for not topping off all the time. Topping off RDA is not a big deal but when travelling quite a bit like I am doing lately, it really gets on my nerves sometimes. Orchid is basically more like a kayfun/fogger, So there was a slight learning curve for me the first day. Lots of leaking and I had to re-wick it 3 times only to find out it was my filling technique that was wrong. haha If you do decide to give it a try, consider getting the V2 or a top fill cap for easy filling. But even without them, it is easy to fill without having leaking problems, just cover the airholes and chimney when filling them up.

Awesome if they have a V4. I have not kept up with the versions. But I can confirm that with V2 (got mine mid-July) there were none of the issues others were complaining about, and apart from falling down a lot and the firmware, most of them were really just cosmetic. I think the only place you will ever find a V1 is on auction sites, because when I was looking for it, that was the only place where you could have gotten it Dovpo really listened to their early adopters , and made the necessary changes very fast on their next production. I went without the logos too, but they did send me some stickers with it. haha I like the feel of it, especially grooves. It fits very natural to me. it is not awkward to hold compared to conventional box mods.

I know exactly how you feel. I have at least a dozen or so KP tanks of all kinds that I no longer use, and every time I go back to them, it is not the same as I remember them. Sad part is, I stocked up on coils. haha So they all went to my emergency bags. But I think I found my unicorn - Orchid. Then again, I say that every other week or so. Seriously though, it is liberating. I can now fully enjoy vaping on the go without compromise. I think my RDAs will be only for weekends from now on.

Hi VapeHappy. I have one (3 actually), and you can def. sub ohm on them. The limit says .5 ohms but I ran it as low as .4 @ 30W on an Orchid RBA for 2 days until I realized I was pushing it beyond it's limit and changed atty to .6 - .8 ohm for daily driver, as I did not want to abuse it. There were 2 versions. V1 was more like a beta release - did not stand up well vertically, annoying beeping sounds with menu selection, and a lot complained with the transformer logo, and I believe a few were experiencing not getting the selected voltage (set at say 4.0V but only getting 3.8V or something like that). With V2, transformer logo is optional, firmware upgraded, and the laundry list of suggestions from beta testers were implemented. Forgot to add, tanks/atty used are: KT Mega/AT, Orchid, Magma, Plume Veil, Cerebus, Vulcan, but I mainly use Orchid on it @ .6 or slightly higher.
