    Advanced E-cig users and oil/wax, how-to "one-hitter-quitter"

    @WakeAndVape the issue frankly is that without temp control it's yesterday's news. Within a few weeks all the new mods will have Wattage and Temp control, and people will be dumping the oldies because you can do more with a smarter mod. You can use the better of the current TC crop in Wattage or...

    Advanced E-cig users and oil/wax, how-to "one-hitter-quitter"

    @ArchVape please don't misunderstand. I too quit 2 packs a day cigs 5 years ago thanks to vaping and feel a thousand times better. All the more reason I was surprised at the chest pains with the nickel coil on the Stillare clone with copper screws. I mentioned it here because we're testing new...

    @ArchVape what do you mean "glyco corrosive"? I'm having trouble understanding your post. I guess you're saying that stainless steel, once the TC chips can read its temperature coefficient, will be a safer material? In relation to erl, we have very specialized needs on small volumes of a...

    It sort of looks like the Kraken, not exactly, but yes it's definitely a Genesis type. I use 2 rolled stainless steel 400 mesh wicks in mine. They always use vertical wicks and make powerful clouds with glycerin ejuice. The VG wicks well up the SS tube. It could work with ejmix'd c-juice. If you...

    Someone, it may have been here, was saying that use of Nickel, with its conceivable risk of toxicity, was a bad idea. I had to make a trip to the Emergency Room because of unexplained sharp chest pain 3 days ago. Heart attack tests negative. That's good. But it was a scare. I think it've...

    I'm still trying to figure out the TC issues. I built a Kayfun V4 SvoeMesto clone with 28AWG Nickel 200. Testing with 95% VG for now. Running 15 watts at 430 F I expected the TC to keep the coil and the cotton wick very clean. To my surprise it was about as cruddy in the middle as the reference...

    @Joel-W what mod are you firing this OMG pyramidal contraption with?

    But with the common screw type leads the wires can easily come loose, albeit for a fraction of a second, and on a simple mod that's not even noticed. So I don't think it's obvious if the leads are secure. On the Mini VF I've had it stop firing and go to the "old or new coil" screen out of the...

    Advanced E-cig users and oil/wax, how-to "one-hitter-quitter"

    One more thing on the TC mods. You may recall how Busardo raged at the Evic VT during his review (32:30), shouting that "THIS CANNOT HAPPEN!!" "This" was the mod "popping out of TC", i.e. losing its setpoints or sensors - and turning the voltage on full blast. That's like the cruise control in...

    This is a very interesting topic IMHO. I can see the display show the "hunting", but haven't felt any pulsing on the inhale. I've built a lot of computerized "closed loop controllers" for motors on elevators, cranes, aerial trams and so on. You can design a system so it smooths out the seeking...

    How does the mini VF regulate? You can set a wattage, and the mod will output enough voltage to reach that wattage, same as usual. BUT in addition, it won't exceed the temp you set. If you set a very low wattage, it won't even ever reach the temp ! If you set the wattage very high it will...

    IT ARRIVED! The MiniVF! OK, first impressions. First, let's glance at my previous adjustable, the HeatVape Defender: On the board, on the right, is the solder area on the other side of which the Micro USB charging connector used to be. It's tiny and hard to solder back in place. You can see...

    I ordered a Kangxin Mini VF 50W Mod KX - 50D Chip Variable Wattage Mini Box Mod Temperature Protection VW Mod for $37.99, shipping included, on July 2nd direct from Gearbest in China. The USPS left a notice in the mailbox yesterday, and my wife is going to try to pick it up. Previous...

    I love your racing-look rig, that orange and dark grey is SO cool! And I can't wait for my own temp control rig to arrive. Like the Clicker sez, somethin's isn't right. If it muz wine, I'd try it opened up, reading the coil assembly with an IR thermometer, and see if you're anywhere near that...

    @growinsmoke are you a previous vaper or smoker? There are many possible things taking place, but one of them is expecting thick smoke-like clouds. If you heat erl to the boiling point of the actives, they can boil and vaporize just as transparent as water vapor, i.e. steam, and steam is only...

    Does a patient need to "get high" to be helped by Cannabis?

    Have you noticed that car-towers and repo-men and bail-bondsmen are all cut of the same cloth? I knew a lawyer of that school once. He'd display his credentials by saying that "marawanna puts ya in birdland". Well, I think that's all bass-ackwards. Where I grew up, beer was known for its...

    @lwien and @CarolKing love you guys! Obviously y'all left both cars in the same spot, and all you had to do is dream you called each other and said where.

    Does a patient need to "get high" to be helped by Cannabis?

    Absolutely not "withdrawal". I might argue that with such small amounts it can't be, but as above, so below. Or something like that. It could be minor rebound to minor dosage. But it's not. And BTW the reason withdrawal is so rare, even at massive dosage, is because cannabis is such a complex...

    Does a patient need to "get high" to be helped by Cannabis?

    I had to take a break this last week from my 2-4 toke a day medicating, and my wife was the first to notice that everything in my system was going to hell. I wasn't really noticing it at first. First just nerves, more easily annoyed. But subtle. Not a "rebound". More like "normal". The tiny...
