Thread: E-cigarettes

Thanks 10pups, but from all I've read and understand, it was the powder that the workers were inhaling which caused popcorn lung.
And I do agree, if there's another way to get the flavor and good vape, why use the DA

Just have to chime in on this thread. Ive been vaping for about 4 years now. Here is my set-up that i take with me to work. Keeps me going all day. I vape at 110w and go thru 1.5 sets of 3 batteries a day. And about 20 to 25mil of juice. I enjoy the fruity juices myself. I was a pipe smoker who inhaled pipe smoke. It was a bit of a hard change to the vape but i did it.
Juices are 20pg/80vg and 3mg on the nic.

XVOStick with my Kayfun V4. I quit the nasties in November 2012. I make my own 12mg strawberry liquid. I have 5 kayfuns loaded with juice and ready to go when the taste starts getting too burnt. 6 wraps of 28 gauge Kanthal gives me a little over an ohm. Can chainvape all day on 1 LG brown wrapper HE2 20 amp 3200 mAh 18650 battery. I've been on this setup for two years. I run at 5 to 7 watts.

My Smok TFV8 came with a buildable deck. I use it most the time unless I just get lazy like right now. I got the quad coils in it right now (0.16 ohms) and it likes to be ran between 120 - 180 watts. 120 is high enough for me! I normally run Home Made Clapton Coils. Six wraps on two coils gets me .23 ohms. Then run it 110 to 120 watts and shes a chucking the vape! 3 Batteries don't last but about 7 to 8 hours. I keep thinking about picking up the pipe now and then but I know it will taste horrible! And that's using friendly words, if you know what I mean.

Ive been doing this for a few years now and I find it funny that the vaping industry is going for higher and higher wattage devices. That said they are also pushing the temperature control thing which pretty much negates the reason to have a high wattage device. Its like here buy this 500 cubic inch engine but we installed a governor on it that wont let you go past 55mph. With that the e-liquids at higher nicotine strengths are becoming either less popular or harder to find. Why well because the device chuck out alot more vapor and maybe 20mg would make you pass out using a quad clapton coil vaping at a 100 watts lol. Its crazy to me but makes perfect business sense. I am buying e liquid to satisfy a nicotine craving, thats me. If I buy a 2 mg bottle i need to power vape that stuff to get through the day and then I got to get a new one. Probable the most expensive part of e liquid is the bloody nicotine, and they like using less for basically the same price. In the mad world of vaping I rather not have to consume giant clouds of vapor that contain little nicotine to be satisfied. I personally like to vape in the 15-20 watt range with a single coil and e-liquid of about 12mg. And its discreet I can take a few pulls in the bathroom at work and no one is the wiser. I guess i like low volume high efficiency. Ok my rant is over enjoy your vapes lol.

Same here, I was excited to try out these new high wattage devices until I found out I would have to be changing batteries all day. Nope, I'm not a cloud chaser, just a guy who needs to adjust his personal nicotine level occasionally throughout the day. At first you vape anywhere and now ecigs are thought of as a plague. It's getting harder and harder to even stealth vape anywhere now. People think it's more deadly than cigarettes.

I vape at 70w with a 6mg nicotine liquid. I use a drip tank with a single Clapton coil.
I go through about 180 ml a month. but I understand what you are saying

of course they do. Its partly the communities fault. When folks that don't know anything about vaping, see a 16 year old billowing clouds on the street corner at a volume that would get a fire marshals attention. What should they think? Man those things put out more than the local bus. how can this be safe? Its pure perception really. Nothing to do with science just associating that cloud with a smoke cloud, and then their self preservation instincts take over. Hmm lets get out of here somethings ablaze lol.

I am also vaping 6ml liquid right now and I'm a little cranky hehehe. Well at least I gave up 24ml last year. That stuff would make me break into a cold sweat now a days. I think it might be fun to start a sub thread called show us your vaping gear grave yard. Man I could of bought a lot of shaving and honing gear for what I sunk into this addicition.

It's really NOT funny though...
The joke is on US!
Every store or restaurant I walk into nowadays has a big sticker on the window, NO E-CIGARETTES ALLOWED".
Really makes me steam, but I HATE steam!!
I still stealth vape everywhere, because I know there are NO second hand whatever issues.
