Calling all E-cig / "Vapers" .... what do you vape??

[offbeat404]

when they did their release party in January. They have a box of various ones that are broken for one reason or another. They were able to piece me together one so I bought it then. Its only a clone the new Kanger coils have been pissing me off and im ready for something that doesnt give me a burnt taste after 2 days.

that's what I thought. I got a patriot rda you can borrow til you get your package from FT. lmk

I appreciate that man but im good. I ordered one from FT but a few days ago when I went in, one of them were selling their nemesis clone as they had bought an authentic. Got it for $30 and when mine finally comes in, I can just take it in for consignment for what I paid. Im fully set up with mod, mechanical, cotton, kental wire, juice. Literally all i need is the hex key and some knowledge........also maybe one more battery.....

ask and you shall receive

this list is not exactly what I would call "all encompassing", but as a noob myself, I think it's a pretty dag gum good start. IN MY OWN OPINION, the following information should all be read very carefully by EVERY NOOB before posting a question similar to "How do I blow clouds like the guys on YouTube?"

This list is just for basic direction, and doesn't include liquid discussion, legal discussion, supplier discussion, etc. This is purely for the basic over and over again questions with the same links usually provided, but just put in one place easy to find to find. I hope this helps some folks out.

Huge THANK YOU to all the people who took the time to make this information available to us all. None of this information is my own, but rather it was gathered from folks here on the ECF.

First lets get some terminology out of the way.

What things are, and what they are called. Thanks to PBusardo

Ok I know im like a broken record when it comes to V8p Bar but I have yet another positive review I want to share. So today, very excitedly, I took my helios and nemesis clone to the V8P Bar to begin my journey into more advanced vaping. I showed up and after talking for a bit, ended up sitting down and talking with (forgive me if I misspell this) Arnon. I have never spoke to much with him as usually hes just hanging out when im there and not on duty. I ended up picking his brain and attempting to roll my first coils. Ended up getting a .7 resistance and great, no, fantastic taste but little vapor. At about 20 or so minutes till closing, I explained my problem to Arnon and he offered to build me new coils. He ended up building 2 coils for me in literally about 3 minutes that registered at .4 resistance. Fan freaking tastic vapor production. Looking forward to their next flavor release this Friday. Might not be able to stay as long as last time but still looking forward to it. Anywho, had fun and learned that vaping 6 nics on that helios literally puts me on my ass now.

Lmao. Yeah when you get into sub ohms the nicotine delivery is much more than with cartos lol. I'm glad you are enjoying it. Just remember to stay safe. Don't chain vape a sub ohm dripper it will get to hot and cause trouble. Enjoy brother there's no going back now

Thats what im learning. Im essentially using it just every now and then as a filler between my aero tank. finally think i figured out the problem. I guess you could say i was over tightening the head but what i learned is that i have to leave the head pretty loose to where the tank doesnt quite fit flush to the base. Been using it like that for the last several hours without having to shake or dry hit. Im really enjoying the vape from the helios and nemesis but its going to take time as i am a chain vaper but as soon as i feel the first sign of heat, i set it down.

Good call. It took me a while but I don't chain vape like I used to. The best part of the drippers is the flavor and vapor production.
