Any smokers here? Wanna quit?
-
Well done Stinkie. I wish you the best of luck if you choose to continue vaping.
-
Thanks, Oli!

It's starting to happen here in Oz.

This is bad news.

"E-cigarettes are a significant threat to public health - no e-cigarette has been tested for quality, safety or performance by the Therapeutic Goods Administration," Professor Dunn said.
Forgive me for being ignorant, but he has just said E-Cigs are a "significant threat to public health" and then goes on to say "no E-Cig has been tested for safety".
How does he know they are a threat to public health if no testing has been done?
-
yeh Oli.....it makes little sense
what I can say though is that the naysayers are a minority with a loud voice (the Cancer Council is one of them)

I am curious to find out how much everyone in here vapes each day.
Approximates will do as it is pretty hard to guage it exactly.
For me, I think I vape around 8 to 10 mls a day. It's probably closer to 8mls on average.
There are a few favourite flavours that I seem to vape very heavily though, Potion Vape's 'Melt Down' is one that seems to disappear in a few hours...!
-
My Kayfun drinks e-liquid for fun. Easy 10ml a day. I'm vaping all the time pretty much, hard not to when you work from home.
That's why I make my own liquid; to save money. My mother and girlfriend also vape my liquid so I normally mix batches of 100ml at a time. Works out at £0.90 to £1 for 10ml, depending on how much flavouring goes in.
Kanger Protanks seem to use less liquid than higher-end atomisers but the flavour isn't as good.
Recently been buying LOTS of Inawera flavour concentrates. The blackcurrant is amazing. My new favourite mix is Inawera Grape and Inawera Blackcurrant. Tastes like Ribena/Grape Soda. mmmmmmm.

My daily vape rotation these days, quite satisfied to stick with it for a long time
:
- Joyetech Egrip: very very small, juice tank built in and pocket friendly
- Eleaf Istick (20 Watt regulated mod) + kayfun Lite
- Aspire CF SUB + Eleaf Lemo
E-juices: all day vapes: GoodLife "Nana's Nuts" and GoodLife "Melon Boba".
I bought the much hyped new Aspire Atlantis tank but don't like it.
I prefer the much richer taste and vapor of a Kayfun or Lemo. -

I bought an e-cig as well, a very cheap one, on a whim. I'm rather surprised as to how effective 'vaping' is. And no tar!
I am curious to know if you quit smoking by this time?
-
Aw yes, vape porn!!
It's been a while since I've had my photo fix!
Great to see you still vaping like a champ Chris! That pocket egrip looks cool, reminds me of a hip flask....I also really like the billetbox.
-
. The internet is for vape porn.
I love the Egrip, it is the only really pocketable vape in my experience.
And it can take a beating as it is a very solid weighty little wonder.
It takes stock Egrip coils. I only use it's lowest wattage setting and that makes a coil last for weeks. It is a surprisingly smooth and flavorful vape. Joyetech is about to release a little rebuildable base for it that I will be getting.Oh yes, the Billet box seems a great product but a bit too costly imo.

Nice eye candy guys, I'm still using my original Provari, only now I moved from Vivi Nova tanks to Nautilus.
Still vaping strong, down from 22mg nicotine to 6mg.
-
Great work Pete! I've not managed to get down to 6mg yet, still on 12mg.
My provari has been put into storage as a spare. It didn't break, never failed....very good device. Provape have just released the new Provari but I'm stuck with the Svoemesto Semovar for now. The Semovar is great, I just can't fault it, I'll use it until it fails.
I dropped my vape from some scaffold on my house and it survived the impact, I couldn't believe it! They build these things so damn strong!
-
C'mon Oli, choke the vapor!
I'm on 6mg just like Pete. I think you need to make some lower resistance coils, around 1.5, 'cause if I remember, you prefer something like 2.2-2.4 ohm, right? You'll loose some flavor I think, but the TH will mask the fact that you just dropped the nicotine.
I'm still using my trusty mechanical mod, with Kayfun lite, I don't even touch anything else. Tabaco flavor all the way. -
Stefan,
I must have been mistaken at the time, I roll coils around 1.6 ohms.I went through a stage of adding one extra coil by mistake which was giving a resistance of around 2.4. Now all my coils are at around 1.6. I should reduce nicotine strength yes, I suppose I just got used to mixing up 12mg batches.
-
I'm down to 9mg most of the time (I still have a few 18mg 'leftovers' from a few months ago and I occasionally vape those but it's more for the flavour than the nicotine)
in fact, I'm wondering how I would cope if I vaped nic free.....hmmmmm might need to give it a try and see how I feel after a few days...!!
SO....its been a little over a year since I bought my Provari, and March 10th since I gave up on the stinkies (except for 1 stinkie in the middle of the year which I don't count...!!)
this is one of the best things I have ever done for myself, so it is probably timely to thank Oli and everyone else in here once again
my lovely lady pointed out to me that I no longer snore like a freight train...now that's what I call an added bonus..!!

Those Good Life flavours are brilliant....thank you for putting me on to them
My favourites from them are '925', 'El Kamino' and 'Deadly Sin'

I broke my Semovar mod last week. I finally had enough!
It kept throwing out error codes, screen stopped working, would only use half a battery before saying battery was low...etc etc....so I unscrewed everything for a deep clean and one of the connections popped into the circuit board tube and I couldn't get it back out. I tried retrieving the connection with a screwdriver which eventually turned into a frustration-relieving stabbing technique! I then finished it off with a hammer.
Totally smashed the whole thing to bits. So now I'm back on my original Provari and it feels great! Great build quality; makes me wonder why I even changed in the first place. So reliable.
I have started making lower resistance coils so I can get away with using smaller battery mods; the 18350 battery is just fine. Happy Vaping everyone!

Like I said many times, no need to get into all those fancy mods, my trusted Provari will never die, still working as good as the day I bought it
-
Over the past few months a 'rattle' in my Provari has slowly worsened and sometimes it would only fire up if I held the unit at certain angles.
A few days ago it stopped working after I dropped it.
I have four 18650 batteries, two different manufacturers.
- I recharged them all...Provari didn't work
- I cleaned all the contact points....it still didn't work
I was beginning to think I had caused some serious damage after dropping it.
Then I noticed that the two different battery types were very slightly different heights.
What had happened is that the slightly larger battery had compressed the spring contact on the bottom extension cap.....this was the cause of the 'rattle' when the shorter of the batteries was used.
When I dropped the unit, it landed on it's base and the force of the impact had compressed the spring just that little bit more and therefore contact couldn't being made at each end of the battery regardless of which battery type I used.
It took me a whole day to realise what the problem was.....and was easily resolved when I pulled the spring up a tiny fraction.
It's working perfectly now, and as good as the day I first used it....!!
