Any Vapers here? lol

Just re-started vaping, seems like my kids hate me coz it's kinda like a fuckboy thing for millenials haha. I waited for the tech to improve because 4 years ago it was shit and I was constantly buying new "better" ones almost every other week. True enough the "tech" has stabilized and there is less focus on improvements and spillage and leaks are the only terrible things left to deal with. Like last time, I was able to quit 6 months using really shady e-liquids wholesale from China which eventually gave me chest pains lmao. 4 days no smoking feels really great, better sleep, less depressive mood swings and throat does not feel its lubed by phlegm every damn morning. cravings are so much easier to deal with and i dont even think of cigarettes first thing in the morning now

I bought a really easy to use, entry-level Pico Dual 200w variable(to avoid those explosions which are all mechanical mods with no safety features). Plan is to quit smoking and not go obssessing over another addictive thing

I bougt one for herbs which I used for weed quit that since I found out weed lowers T. Don't be a fedora though cigars and pipes are where its at.

I've been vaping for 5years now. Tech did get a lot more stable over the years. I used to buy a new device every month for the small improvement. I settled with kangertech subtank and stopped following new products since the improvement is negligible.

I have that cuboid with a Krixus ceramic atomizer, the atomizer is kind of weak in terms of vapor production, not sure if that is a standard thing for ceramic or just this one in particular

good to hear some lpers are using it. i feel once you get hooked on the hobby side of it, you're just switching addictions instead of just quitting smoking. thats why i never really bothered to get into the whole modding aspect of vaping. just use a variable and buy 2 spare pairs of batteries, get a drip and a tank you're good to go. ejuice has become cheap you can even do it at home with little difference, it pays for itself in a month or two

whats the best tank system out there atm? at least something that doesn't leak after 2 days of using it.

I smoked for 10 years and I just quit with a vaper and I barely use it anymore fwiw

it does get rid of the "habit" of buying, worrying, looking for a light. the oral fixation is still there but i feel it removes the anxiety that you got something on fire that you need to make use of by puffing on it, so it does make you forget about that too.

this explains a lot

I hope you guys at least arent one of those assholes that vape in the cinema.

nah is that happening? would be cool if it was allowed hahaha

rofl so true

fuck em tho wish my brother got on a vape rather than the pack of marlboro reds a day regimen

I wanted to try because it's nice to take smoke breaks and get air from whatever I'm doing. And just going outside for some air is kind of lame, having a distraction is nice. I did some research, and apparently it's only started being FDA regulated? I read that a lot of products lied about not having toxic chemicals when it did, because there was no real regulation to stopping unethical marketing. Has things gotten better.

If by direction you mean cancer then thats still the way you are going with vaping. Then again I've been smoking for the past 8 years so ...

@whamm yeah there are always some assholes that vape in the cinema here, might be just an eastern european thing, doesn't make it any less annoying and its far from cool, im trying to watch the movie, not go through a cloud of smoke to see the goddamn image

thing is ppl in the cloud community are looking for more and more ways to annoy ppl in the cinema haha, the whole technology is focused on bigger clouds or heavier throat hits. instead of just fixing those fucking tank leaks, i got one tank who's airhole is located at the top which makes it infinitely better already. stupid design flaws like that. just bought the OBS mini tank

Yeah I cant believe they cant come up with a seal that allows air but not oil from leaking, i dont mind because I keep mine upright most of the time but I guess for women who put it in their purse and shit its a pain in the ass

took them 5 years to move that airhole to the top where the liquids dont sit lol. still amazes me only a handful have redesigned it

Just bought a tookit for replacing cotton and rebuilding coils. Now I can vape continuously and not have to go the vape shop every 3 days
I've stopped smoking for 2 weeks, I feel the tech is good enough to quit smoking altogether. I also can go around without my Vape Kit and be fine unlike cigs before where I couldnt be anywhere without smoking every 5mins

Might buy this to have a spare one. Kanger Squonk mod

this shit is so incredibly fucking complicated..

im looking to buy this atm: https://www.180smoke.ca/platinum-exclusive-bundle-aspire-archon-cleito

what is it exactly that made u visit the vapeshop so often. Also, what does replacing and rebuilding coils really do.

cotton gets burned so bad it tastes like shit - 2 to 4 days, depending on how it was done or extremely heavy use
coils get fucked up coz of the heat it tastes like shit - 5 to 7 days depending on coil and how it was done and obv heavy use
youtube whatever you got for guidance, also ask your trusted vape guy to ease you in they will know what to recommend

im no handyman at all arirang, its very easy. just cutting cottons and putting it in or cutting wires and using the tools to wrap it as a coil, its really worth the better sleep and overall well being you get from zero smoking cigs (30 year smoker didnt stop for shit maybe 1.5 packs a day)

thanks, man.

Upgraded to tfv8 baby beast + minikin 2. I used to build my own coils but with the quality of newer sub ohm tanks, i don't really see the reason to build anymore

whamm, you should use japanese cotton. those ball cottons are so 2014, get with the program

yeah I use the different jap cotton. what does sub ohm mean btw? so many terms i dont understand, but i see there are lots of pre-built coils being sold and they are cheap but very durable so building does feel like the wrong thing to do

vaping with resistance level lower than 1 ohms

I just discovered "Clapton" coils work 5x better for flavor and cloud. Slightly more expensive than regular wire but totally worth iiiit
They tell me mechanical mods are the shit and very little maintenance, but I think that's for hardcore users who like to tinker - those badly managed mech mods by unknowing users are the ones exploding so Im not touching those and sticking with variables.

mechanical mods - manual, no regulation
Variable mods - automatic regulation of current, safer for noobs

I've had my vaporizer for like over 6 months and I still havent changed the cotton or coil, it doesnt taste bad at all, its a ceramic Horizontech atomizer, I vape at 0.4 ohms is it because of the low resistance?

Yeah I think that's those sub ohm ones with really high temps. I'm still trying to understand how everything is like is your kit like a mech or a variable? I read mechs can go really low resistance but not sure if variables can do it too. I dont wanna mess with mechs since those battery explosions are caused by mechs mostly.

reading up on ceramic coils i reckon its a fairly new thing, still debating whether its unhealthy or not lol. But yeah each time I run out of liquid and inhale that awful burnt cotton straight to my lungs its never good haha. I'll look into these ceramic coils

Thats my mod, its set at 45w and 0.41 omhs.

I googled that about ceramic coils but it doesnt seem to be some real study about it, as far as I know ceramic does not release fumes or silicon gasses that could cause silicosis in the lungs, Ceramic and clay has been used for hundreds of years in hookas an in the kitchen and if it were dangerous I think we would know.

of course I dont know for sure and Its scary, ill research it a bit more too.

nice looking variable mod there. I better sell what I have and get that instead lol
how about leaking issues?

set mine at 35w and .24 ohms, not even sure if thats optimal

this mod (Cuboid) is heavy as fuck, I stay home most of the time so its not a big deal, but it has 2 AA rechargable batteries, so its a brick, the upside is that the battery last a very long time and dettachable batteries are much better than integrated battery packs since when they degrade you just trow them out and buy new ones for cheap and if its integrated you gotta buy a new mod.

Could someone tell me what to buy I got a 20 dollar one that I use a ton want something better. Don't want to shift through a bunch of corrupt online reviews.

If you really want a reliable, less time changing batteries, dripping, wiping off leaks I'd recommend getting


Quad Box Mod

*Ijoy, Seglei, any brand with Quad 300 to 350watts since it's got 4 batteries, longer vaping means less time charging, changing batteries.


Sub-Ohm Tank - low resistance builds, better vapor and flavor, bigger juice:

*OBS Engine - has not failed me with leaks, just learn to change coils and wicks. Top filling and airflow

*OBS Ace - this is an option if you don't want to change coils, changing cotton or wicks is way easier. Just buy the coils they have for sale



If you get the one with ceramic coils, then it's pretty idiot proof to use and maintain. I suggest those if it's cleared of health things Baal said.

RBA - Rebuldable Atomizer, meaning once the coils get burned or bad, you can get a coil to replace it by rebuilding or rebuying a coil, some do not have the option like the ACE tank where you can choose to rebuild or just buy a replacement

*RTA - Rebuildable "TANK" Atomizer, meaning it's a "DECK" connected to a "TANK" for lots of ejuice capacity
*RDA - Rebuildable "DRIP" Atomizer meaning it's a "DECK" only, you drip directly to it from the mouthpiece
*RDTA - has both options, usually meaning you can attach 2 kinds of "DECKS", as in the case of the OBS ACE

All three are "RBA"s, it's just confusing as fuck when people keep mentioning RBAs,RTAs in different videos referencing to one product

vaporizers like these are certainly not noob-friendly while purchasing (using is easy), I was overwhelmed with all the info and options that I just bought the same my friend had.


Also consider that one has 4 freaking batteries, mine has 2 AA and its heavy as a brick, that one is probably a nightmare to carry around so dont buy those if you move around a lot.

just quit nicotine

Ive handled the quad battery it wasn't so bad as long as you dont buy a mod which is heavy by itself.

I think my analogy of the RTA and RDTA is wrong lol
just watch the video instead ugh



here's an informative reddit page for ohms, volts, watts, amps and how they all work in relation
https://www.reddit.com/r/electronic_c...mments/3ejkxm/ohms_law_to_vaping_101/

All in all, you can avoid all the bullshit fuckboi "cloud vaping" bullshit and just get a decent flavor or mouth/lung vs draw ratio, no engineering knowledge required. If you wanna quit smoking, wean yourself out of nicotine addiction slowly or simply you're too much of a pussy or mental weakling to go cold turkey this is the best for you in my experience. All the massive info is geared mostly for hobbyists, basics will get you by fine

If you dont' want doing rebuilding and choosing shit just buy this one. foolproof device

do you have a referral code wham

I don't have a referral code, I bought my stuff here at the local brick and mortar. Finally here's what happened to the whole vape scene since I went away in 2012 (just read about it)

*community is split between plain cig quitters and fuckboi vapers/millenials/hobbyists
*cig quitters were usually all-in-one devices where ease of use and safety was the priority, while cloud chasers wanted efficiency, clouds, DIY stuff
*because of this, china clones took over, they just waited for Western companies to copy, but China's product quality have also improved over time
*companies who didnt adapt to trends and stuck with only cig quitting, have closed shop (Provapes - Provaris)

You don't need high, sub-ohm temperatures, or DIY kits or RBAs for quitting smoking purposes. All-in-one kits are still available like the Kanger Cupti, it's low temperature and gives decent flavors,lung hits without sacrificing safety and ease of use. It appears all these high wattage, multi-battery RBAs had cloud chasing and flavor in mind, it's just innovation towards those and nothing else.

thanks bro

seems to me it's illegal to "rebuild" coils or "vape" inside fucking vape shops in the US and even here in my 3rd world place. what started out to be a cigarette quitting thing ended up a nuisance with these fuckboys creating too much smoke with their devices lol. Vape shops can now only sell stuff which is retarded since the "rebuilding" scene is like more than half of the industry.

the reason why its banned in someplaces is tobacco companies making a move obviously, smoking in doors is prohibited because it poses health risk, vapor does not so it shouldnt be banned anywhere in public spaces, but obviously tobacco has a lot to gain from fighting vaping

vape naysh, y'aallllllll

i'm using reuleaux rx2/3. seems decent. tanks are def the way to go now since the tech got better.

From all the youtubing these seem to be the most popular sub ohm tanks currently:
*Smok TFV8, TFV4, TFV12
*Melo300
*Avocado
*OBS - Engine, ACE, Engine Mini

China Variable Mods are pretty much built equal nowadays
*Reuleaux, Eleaf, Smok, Kanger,

All-in-one devices: Mod + Tank built in
Eleaf - Justx
Kangertech - Cupti 1 and 2

Other Squonk mods (the ones you squeeze to keep wicks wet)

--- Nuked ---

^^ I see what you did there bot, lol

Prob not a bot, just an indian guy doing SEO in a poor manner, without a proper research

Yo dat's kinda racis lmao

Anyway, here's some useful basic info about wires,mods, ejuices and temperatures in vaping (rebuildables, DIY)

Wires
*Kanthal regular wires are thin single wires, heats easy, breaks easy, so it gives max vapor and flavor but doesn't last
*Clapton coils are 2 wires, 1 wrapped around the base wire. usually thicker wire is the base thinner is the wrap, its for getting slightly delayed heating process but packs more power and lasts longer, for regular mouth to lung (cig smokers not fuckboys) this is better.
*nickel, titanium, stainless seems to give off a weird aftertaste although theyre supposed to last longer, can take more punishment

Temperature for Variables or Mods with adjustable heat settings
*I've found 40 to 60 works out best for flavor and power consumption for your batteries, 100 to 80 watts the cotton can't keep up with ejuice delivery to the coil so I frequently end up getting dry hits, it also zaps my battery and ejuice quickly than it is practical.
*Basically sub ohm vaping, the ultra high heat is better for Cloud chasers and not much else

Ejuices
*fruitty/pastry flavors which have a lot of sugar or ratio or grossly higher VG to PG ratios clog up wires quicker, coffee, tobacco and menthols don't as much
*thicker juice gunks up wires, thinner more liquified ones dont, but also evaporate faster when heated

Mods
*Mechanical - deliver heat without chipset controlling/adjusting it, really dunno why this is preferred by veterans
*Variables - safety features and some control to prevent battery from exploding from too much heat

Finally I figured it out, these silly chinese naming conventions are confusing

RDA - Rebuil-Dable Atomizer - drip as you vape, very simple. used by "experts" for clouds and flavor, couldn't give two shits since I just wanna quit
smoking. Usually used by vaping "vets" with mechanical mods (risky for noobs). Don't buy these if you're like me

RTA - Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - tank systems, very convenient, flavor is decent and so are it's clouds, not for competitions but it does the job for smokers. Get ones that have TOP-FILL and TOP-AIRFLOW since 95% of the ones out there have bottom airflows near the coils which WILL LEAK at some point. Only brand I trust with this is OBS and it's Engine and Engine mini - buy those two and thank me later.

RDTA - Rebuil-Dable Tank Atomizer - tank systems that has the option of dripping without opening the tank which is silly since Top-fill tanks have removed that inconvenience already, for me as a smoker it's purpose has expired.

Mods - are the devices which house the battery, some are VARIABLE (safer with redundancy features) and MECHANICAL (for hobbyists). I like to not have my mod explode on my face with Mechs thank you. Variables are safer to use by far.

Coils - for me Kanthals (single wire) are just too easily worn out, while Clapton (double wire wrapped) makes for better flavor and lasts longer.



What to lean to make this work:
*Rebuilding - it's not that hard to wrap coils there are tools out there and videos on youtube, and for god's sake just use claptons.
*Replacing japanese cotton - easier than wrapping coils, lots of vids
*Firing in water - hold mod over water and let the dirty coils touch it, then fire to remove excess gunk. usually some coils get dirty after 2 to 3 days and only needs this method before replacing coils which usually lasts a week

Remember, if you're looking to quit and not be discouraged with burn hits and bad flavor use an RTA and buy that brand. OBS, and only the Engine 25mm and Engine Mini 23mm, both have top-fill and top-airholes. Be careful when buyin because they also carry the OBS-ACE and OBS -NANO don't buy those coz those are shit lol.

i bought some THC ejuice, idk how they're legal but they sell that shit in Canada in online stores. I don't smoke weed often, if not at all unless social events to which i attend once a year maybe. I figure it would help me sleep sometimes. It was so insanely strong. I had a semi-bad experience, where I felt a bit nauseous of how strong the contents were, that I locked away the entire vape thing in a closet somewhere.

lol bad trip.


is THC ejuice usable with regular atomizers?

don't vape weed, i heard that its nuts since it's in vapor form lmao
some insane direct to bloodstream delivery type shit i couldve heard wrong
makes sense its as strong as edibles to a degree

combustion releases some extra tetrahydrocannabinols that are a bit more trippy/drowsy so vaping is supposedly a bit cleaner but there isnt much of a difference.

digesting it is different, the effect is milder dose-wise but the stomach acid releases the "trippiest" tetrahydrocannabinols and also the delivery is slower so the high is much longer
