here's a vape thread for everyone to talk about vapitos shit because nobody else cares

my fault, should have said 'withdrawal symptons'

*slowly steps away from thread*

(cessation-related symptoms iirc)

classic ilx

i have found any tobacco-inspired flavour has a weird sweetness to it.

yeah this is my struggle. hard to find any liquid that isn't sweet, other than from my croatian plug

i actually picked up a couple of flavours that mask the sweetness p decently. one is "earl grey" and one is "good morning" - coffee/tobacco combo. the earl grey is almost too bitter, but it makes a great fallback when everything kinda jsut starts tasting like bad cotton candy

they should make these with laughing gas

not aware of any that actively burn up a chunk of weed. in any case, the result is different, that'd be actual 'smoke' coming from burnt matter

this is simply incorrect, weed vapes don't burn weed they... wait for it.... vape it. crazy i know

yeah, I missed that in the response, good point

vape for it, vape for it...

NI HALP

I'm extremely frustrated with the kangertech coils!

So last Friday I bought two boxes of coils and went to put on in on Saturday but it tasted disgusting and wouldn't really work and I couldn't figure out why. I noticed that they were 1.8 while I'd previously been using 2.2 but didn't think much of it. The place I got them from was closed so I went somewhere else and the guy there said it sounded like I was sold counterfeit coils and he sold me a new box of 2.5s.

While doing some reading I learned that the 1.8s probably weren't fake but that a 1.8 with a 3.7v battery can cause a burnt taste. So, I put a 2.5 in on Saturday and it worked great until last night which means I basically got 2.5 days out of it and I don't even use it that much! Does that sound right to you? I then tried to take the whole thing apart and wash and dry burn a coil but didn't do it right and then got frustrated so I just popped a new one in and it's ok. Anyway I guess my questions are as follows:

1) Could a 1.8 ohm coil on a 3.7 v battery taste awful? Are 2.5s better?

2) Why the heck am I going through coils so quickly????

btw I got some space jam pluto and it's amazing. my favorite yet. My plan is to use up all the juices I have now and then try that pink spot place even if it sounds porny and creeps me out a little.

antidotal evidence suggests that vaping is the topic when tweeted about that is most likely to attract bots followers

had no idea this kind of controversy surrounded this habit (in which I don't partake). I work in downtown SF, fucking everybody vapes. it is impossible to tell who is a douche in downtown SF now; I think maybe everyone is? dunno.

Vape is the new bluetooth headset.

has anyone seen a dual-vaper yet? like you are trying to compare two liquids and you have two vapes or idk

has to be an equivalent to dual headset

what about headset vape

(not a headset+vape combo, but a vape that gets worn on your head)

need pictures to decide

Xpost That would be kind of cool! Sort of like this, with headphones attached:

maybe you could have some sort of helmet vape/bong thing like this guy had

xxxp one of my friends carries 3 pens with him because apparently he gets sick of the taste. tbf he was a very heavy smoker so I expect he vapes quite a lot

Yeah a mate of mine is all "ive given up smoking, this is amazing!" but he honestly has the vape pen shoved in his mouth 94/7, he says he even smokes in bed now.

ie I think hes at it way more now than he ever was smoking.

sort of fascinated how "vape shop" seems to have become the default american strip mall store. like some weird convergence of the suburban storefront real estate market and lifestyle trends seem to have made them more common than like dry cleaners or liquor stores.

but not nail salons

ENBB, that's a weird one. what set-up do you have? (tank & battery)

and when you say a 3.7v battery, do you mean you have the power set to 3.7v? if so, that should work fine. trying not to sound techy here, but 3.7v with a 1.8ohm coil equates to 7.6w and that's all good. 15w is the highest you should go with a 1.8ohm coil, it'll burn the cotton higher than that. (it's best to ignore volts and only look at wattage. your battery should show you the wattage on it, stick with that)

as for the coils, they should definitely last longer than 2.5 days. i toke mine constantly (oh the humanity) and get over a week from each. i have had some that screw up quicker than others, maybe you got a really bad batch? how long has the current coil lasted you?

as for the cannabis vaporiser stuff, hands up, i wasn't informed enough to comment. i was thinking of the type i had in the 90s and they're prob different now, dunno. was going to look into it but realised i couldn't give less of a fuck. for all the lolvape photos on this thread, weed culture is ten times worse. maybe start a new thread for the renegade outlaw weedvape bros?

weed has a psychotropic effect unrelated to addiction whereas vaping is literally about giving your nicotinic brain receptors a better bath.

Hey NI - I have three batteries but none of them are variable voltage or show the watts. They're just standard 3.7v. Does that make sense?

I'm frustrated because I think that my coil is bad again. This one has, I think, been in there since last Wednesday but it's still annoying. I got like 2 weeks out of the first one that it came with and have been told that's about standard but the longest any have lasted is a week. I don't even use it all that much. Maybe my tank is bad? Hmpf.

x-post - This is all too techy and I'm not into it enough to care and want to build my own coils. Bah.

2 weeks is standard? how much liquid do you go through?

they told me that one coil should last about 30mg worth of fluid which for me is like... well more than a couple weeks anyway. i think i am on my third coil and i got mine months ago.

Prob about 2ml a day? They said one coil should last 30 ml? :(

I don't think the one now is burnt out but it's spitting and flooding. What can cause that?

the first thing you need to do is ditch this battery. it sounds like one i had when i first got into all this and it's good as a tester, to work out if you're into all this, but man, blow £25-30 on a a proper battery and end all this heartache and pain.

best one to get: istick 30w. you want to be at 15w or below with a tank using a 1.8ohm coil, but it also means you can give sub ohm a go at some point as it can go up to 30w. if you want to save a few quid get the istick 20w but i'd say it's better to get the other one.

i didn't even know you could buy non variable wattage/voltage batteries any more, really can't imagine the modern range of tanks and coils are suited for those fixed strength batteries. (if you can give me the brand name and model though i'd like to read up on them more)

http://www.ego-two.com/ego-ii-2200mah.html

is one of them?

istick 30w is exactly what i have and it's fantastic. i keep it around 10-11w, up to 13-14w if i'm feeling sassy and/or drunk, down to like 8 when starting a new coil or w/e

also wow i fucked up mg and ml, and i am canadian too :/ its an embarrassing day to be me

it also seems to me like the coils last longer if (a) you use a less crazy juice (something clear seems good) and (b) you properly start the coil (let it soak for a while, and then start using it at the lowest voltage possible) and (c) you don't go too high with the v's in general

ah the one you recommended is one of those big box things! I already feel ridiculous and clunky as is!

it's not as big as it looks. i used to have that starter pack everyone has, when that thing bit the dust i got the istick + a nautilus mini. it's actually /shorter/ than the starter kit, the battery can be completely concealed in my hand, and the tank part is pretty low-profile... i should take a picture at lunch or something it explain this better

That would be awesome if you could. Though I just found this snazzy young man in his delightful choker and i think I'm getting the idea.

omg he's wearing the smaller starter one around his neck on a cord

These can really be kinda discreet cause I'm so frustrated I'm actually considering it.

will's bang on here, especially about the coils - make sure you let them soak in the fluid for a while before using. don't avoid dark/thick fluids though, they're some of the best ones! istick and mini nautlius is what i recommend to everyone, it's pretty much the best you can get and at a decent price.

but yeah the aesthetic of the decent ecig batteries is pretty shit, that's just how it is at the moment. don't put up with a crappy model though just for that reason. they need to be big to have a decent (actual +/-) battery inside.

i've only ever had one battery that looked in any way good, I'll take a photo and upload later.

i do occasionally use these things in public and not having something ostentatious/even visible is important to me so i had my doubts about this istick but it is really not big at all. looks like this.

It just seems so . . . vapey.

I know you're right tho and I'm so annoyed at this point that I might as well just do it. Shit I should probably just suck it up be out and proud and get the pink one so that I can bedazzle it and get some fancy ass coordinated drip tip to go with it.

I use a mvp2 + iclear 30 at home, but at work/when I'm out have a little stick one - kanger evod + aerotank mini. It feels less vapey & more portable. Felt like total clown with box mod and big tank, but it is much nicer.

I don't really understand voltage and wattage. Are they independent (I always think that one should affect the other - how come can I adjust them separately? nb I am useless at physics and electrics) and what effects do they have? My baseline is roughly voltage at double-the-coil-resistance but I play around a bit arbitrarily. Sometimes there's more kick when it's higher, but then I feel like something's about to burn.

I change my coil about every two weeks fwiw

I feel like I must be doing something wrong that my coils keep getting so fucked but I really don't think I am. I promise I'm not a moron. :/
