E-cigarette thread - General

[QUOTE=Carman;45879590]What's the point of smoking cigarettes when you are aware of health hazards?[/QUOTE] Good thing these aren't cigarettes then. Currently I'm using an off the shelf battery, tank and e-liquid from oe company, not the best but serves me well for what i want it to do.

Just gave my Kanger EVOD kit a few drags and I quite like it. Caramel Candy with 2 extra flavor shots from Mt. Baker and it tastes just like it says on the tin.

yeah man i'm in a group of vapers we get together and vape we also like to jerk each other off while sitting on old joysticks but that's besides the point

my dad is getting away from smoking that normal shit and got into e-cigs anyone have any videos on cleaning tutorials? the ?wick/filter? seems to have clogged up and seems to continue having that issue.

What brand and model atomizer is he using? If you can't find that out, take a picture. Generally, you'll just wanna wash it out with hot water. Or put it in alcohol (as in, cheap vodka) for a few hours - make sure you wash that out completely before using it again though! And of course clean only the part affected, not the battery. [I]If all else fails,[/I] you might attempt a dry burn: When the coil is dry, just hold down the button until you see the clog burn off. Have a replacement ready though, because this could break the atomizer entirely. In general, these days it's best to get a cartomizer. It lets you replace little more than the coil instead of the entire atomizer unit, which is much cheaper - you can usually get a five pack for $10.

I read recently that the flavouring added to E-Juices is the same stuff used to flavour pipe tobacco when curing. Curing is done by taking dried tobacco leaves, and hanging them in the steam of the flavourings (kinda like the vapour that comes from an e-cig, I suppose). Not sure if this is common knowledge for vapers, but I thought it was interesting to know. On E-Juices, it's actually quite fun to mix and make your own just by getting glycerine and a few drops of water-based flavourings. Add some distilled water to make it more fluid and less concentrated. You actually only need a very tiny amount of flavouring and a small amount of glycerine. [editline]9th September 2014[/editline] Once you've got the glycerine it's a whole lot cheaper then buying pre-made juices, too. I usually mix it in with a pre-made juice though, mainly because I don't have any propylene glycol and it's less viscousious (SP?) [B]Edit:[/B] [QUOTE=Ehmmett;45930827]viscous[/QUOTE] That, thanks! [b]Edit:[/b] Also, no google, not Vis-CousCous.

Then pull it out, run it under a tap for a moment, shake out excess water and then run a dry burn. Do 3 short dry burns while blowing on the top of the coils. Just hold the button in for a second for each dry burn. And you're good to go. I've made coils last over a month with this cleaning method. I also have to disagree with going cartomizer, as they are not cheaper at all. They don't last nearly as long, it's easy as fuck to accidentally burn the wicking materials in cartomizers, and pretty much all those 10 dollar 5 packs are really subpar flavor wise. Any actually decently good cartomizer will be like 15 bucks for 5. You could buy 45mg of very good quality ejuice which will last you over 2 weeks for 15 bucks. Also coils are just generally much easier to deal with and are easy to extend their lives with proper cleaning.

Are you comparing to DIY coil replacement? That's cheaper/better, of course, but also more difficult (and more work). And I haven't seen a good eGo-T-style tank atomizer in a while (though availability might be different in the US), any suggestions?

I was looking around on mtbakervapor site, I didn't know what PG or VG referred to, I asked the Live Chat what it was and he sent me this premade reply. Hopefully its useful to add to the OP. [QUOTE]The PG/VG Ratio for ejuice is used to refer to the amount of PG (Propylene Glycol) and VG (Vegetable Glycerin) used within a mixture of ejuice. PG contributes to the 'throat hit' or harshness felt on the draw of the ecig and flavor production, where VG is the component providing the vapor or visual part of the exhale.[/QUOTE]

Man, I've used up all my VG flavors so fast that all I have left are bottles and bottles of mainly PG stuff that I've been using only every now and then. Can't wait to go stock up on some Cuttwood.

Uh so wait which thread do we use this one or the one in durgz? Because I posted there since everyone was all "it's the original thread" :v: Oh well, here it is again anyway [QUOTE=Coyoteze;45986971]You fuckers have some beautiful setups. Some of those designs are awesome. Mine's just a basic package [t]http://i.imgur.com/qU29Zhi.png[/t] I plan to get something better though. This thing doesn't really make any clouds worth bragging about.[/QUOTE]

I consider the one in durgz to be the main one as it's the original. There's also more help to be found there by people it seems.
