One thing I keep in mind.... Everything in moderation. Sure, I'm a heavy vaper since I just quit cigarettes and am already at 6mg ejuice. However, when I finally drop the nicotine to 0, I won't be "sucking a golf ball through a garden hose" anymore, and will have 0 enticements from nicotine.
By the way, quitting ***** was easier than cigarettes for me, until vaping! (true with any drug I've tried)
I'll surely take my chances on vaping, especially since the ingredients are clearly printed on the label. I DARE big tobacco to list theirs!
Vape your *** **** too!
I see you've been vaping for a while, nice! I'm very new to it but after smoking 20 years I'm at the point of having one every 2-3 days. I'm pretty much done with cigs after only 2 months of vaping, and for the first time, don't sit and look forward to one. I'd MUCH rather inhale a chocolate cookie vanilla shake than that gross, whatever kind of indescribable taste that cigarettes have! (and that shake I'm enjoying won't make me fat (I hope))!I like sucking a golf ball thru a garden hose -- that's my standard for a MtL atty (it's a lot like, oh, I dunno...sucking fire thru a solid tube of tobacco?).
And yes to the vaping of *** ****. Seego Vhit Reload, marvelous invention. And yes, EVERYTHING was easier than quitting smoking, even straight cold turkey off booze, which was pretty fucking hard for quite a number of years. Until vaping came along and made quitting smoking a piece of cake.

Glad you got off the sauce, too! Addiction, of anything, is a medical condition in itself, usually caused by another medical condition. I'm happy if ANYONE can beat their arch nemesis. Congrats!!!
"Partially True". Excessively high temperatures can indeed produce high levels of bad stuff, but chances are, you're not vaping at temperatures that produce worrisome levels. IMO, temperatures that produce worrisome levels of bad stuff will also produce a burnt-tasting vape.I know it's the internet, but how can something like this be posted?
The main ingredients of e-liquids include nicotine, vegetable glycerin, propylene glycol, water, and flavorings. When heated, some of these compounds produce toxic substances — for instance, propylene glycol produces acrolein, formaldehyde, and benzene
The resistance of a coil alone tells us practically nothing about the peak temperatures that coil will reach. I can easily build you a 0.5 ohm coil that runs cooler than a 2 ohm coil when driven by the same device using the same settings (even an unregulated device).From my understanding sub ohms ( the higher heat of 1.0 ohm, and below ) is what produces acrolein, formaldehyde, and benzene but at what level is it safe? No one knows now because we are the first lab rats that will tell the truth years down the road. But studies have suggested that 1.0 ohm or higher does not produce this chemical reaction.
I'm afraid it isn't that simple. It's established fact that some old-school tootle-puffing equipment produces higher concentrations of aldehydes that newer, more powerful gear due to bad wicking (old-school silica appears to be terrible at keeping coils wet) and (I hate to break it to ya) highly constrained airflow.Umm.. tootle puffers don't use high temps. That's kinda the point.
Well... I DID used to own a BBQ joint a few years back.Hey, looks like your a vendor so you should be selling me vape stuff instead of ruining my cholesterol!.......... But I'll take the Buffalo Turds.

I haven't gotten into RDTAs since I like the quickness of replaceable coils but I did go from a marker-style vape to a Triade DNA250 and Smok Cloud Beast King tank with the duodendary coils. I like a high wattage TC unit because of extended life from 3 batteries but vape no more than 110 watts and 220 degrees. The vapor I exhale is already cool when I put my arm through the cloud so I'm not worried about heat too much.Well I tell ya what: if you could take a puff from my tight Achilles at 9.5w/2 ohms using my superlative-wicking Shiseido cotton and even feel WARMTH, I'll concede the point. Otherwise, fuhgeddaboutit -- I don't want warmth in my vape; all I want is TH and flavor, along with that super-tight draw. I use flash and 86% PG to get the TH; I use 25% flavoring for the great flavor. I don't need warmth, and my LIPS wouldn't tolerate it, nevermind my asthmatic lungs. There's a good reason I took one hit from a top-coil clearo, way back when, and never tried another: THEY SUCK, and they're hot!

That's why I went RBA got tired of replacing coils... just because the wick was dirty.I haven't gotten into RDTAs since I like the quickness of replaceable coils but I did go from a marker-style vape to a Triade DNA250 and Smok Cloud Beast King tank with the duodendary coils.

I've also gone from a fairly restricted hit to a fully open vent. Even with my low settings I blow some impressive clouds!
Hey glad to see someone has the mentality of eagerness to learn there gear. It's fading out.. so many vapors around here just want to keep sending money on coils. Personally if there isn't an rba or in aspires case RTA kit that's a negative that I can't fathom spending money on.That's why I went RBA got tired of replacing coils... just because the wick was dirty.
Now i change the wick instead of the coil... and it really doesn't take that much longer to do. Once you figure out your gear. What's a couple minutes periodically.
Besides building a coil mean I can get exactly the vape I want. Regardless the mod I chose.

No offense but how can you possibly get flavor or nic to be satisfying? Again, in not being offensive I'm asking because I can't go below 50 I vape 50- 80. I never have tried such low Watts I speed right up to 50 and then up usually to 65.I don't like RDTAs either, and never have been able to make TC vaping work for me, with my low wattage settings -- even 350F is too hot, especially when the ramp-up wattage is 25 or 30 watts -- I vape anywhere between 9.2 and 9.8 watts, using anywhere between 1.5 and 2 ohms (or sometimes a smidge more). Under 10w, if you know what you're doing, you don't need TC, because it's its own TC. Been vaping that way for over 3 yrs, and there is no issue with dangerous chemicals when you vape that conservatively. (and I don't give a rip about clouds, never have, never will -- all I care about is mimicking the smoking experience -- albeit with a much better taste/smell!)

Well I started out using coil heads.... couldn't get the vape I wanted so I learned to rebuild the heads. That was old protank and nautilus heads.... have a few atties that use heads.... all have hand build wick able builds in them.Hey glad to see someone has the mentality of eagerness to learn there gear. It's fading out.. so many vapors around here just want to keep sending money on coils. Personally if there isn't an rba or in aspires case RTA kit that's a negative that I can't fathom spending money on.
It took me around a month to really get coil building to where I could ball park my ohms and be decently accurate.
Too many people I meet at the vape shop some 95 % just do NOT want to learn. There only concern is buying coils. And even more people wanting to "Chuck Clouds" and build entirely too low.
If you want to vape, just like any hobby you learn about it. Keep learning, keep trying. Sorry for rant. It's just been getting to me. I vary rarely use tanks, the ones I do use are rdtas, and my personal favorite aspire Triton.
Love y'all. I got over days clean and sober I can relate Adrian to having to stop cold turkey. That fentanyl based h*roin was very hard.
I'm loving living proof that you can change your life around but you have to try. Vaping has helped tremendously.

I do admit, I am entertained by the enormous clouds I billow! But for me, the big clouds mean I'm getting a full hit. That's why they're important to me.I don't like RDTAs either, and never have been able to make TC vaping work for me, with my low wattage settings -- even 350F is too hot, especially when the ramp-up wattage is 25 or 30 watts -- I vape anywhere between 9.2 and 9.8 watts, using anywhere between 1.5 and 2 ohms (or sometimes a smidge more).

Yeah, DEFINITELY blow your cloud OUT of the window of your car! Ha ha haIt does make a nice cool tasty vape with High VG and TC MOD set at 380°F for me! Only drawback is when I can't see the TV screen like before I missed an interception because of my cloud!

Another reason for liking the clouds..... The patch, a pill or that God awful taste if nicotine gum doesn't mimic smoking in the least bit but vaping TOTALLY does. I enjoy vaping so much, I honestly didn't put much effort into stopping cigarettes at all! I found an almost identical replacement for it. And, you can't smoke a cigarette at 0 nicotine like vaping allows. The choice was logical.
Thank you very much for the clarification. I'm glad this is my first forum, in that case, as dumb shit has been ruining my life for years!ECF=a ecig forum
ECF Refugee is someone that got tired of the dumb shit at ECF forum and use Vaping Underground now.
I agree with you. It actually has become dual purpose for me. I get a satisfying inhale and an entertaining exhale. I also think the entertaining aspect of it has something to do with the ease of quitting cigs. I’d NEVER be able to blow a cloud like that with a cig.That's why I vape... and it has NOTHING to do with clouds -- what I exhale is quite similar to what I exhaled when I smoked. And no smokers sit around comparing their clouds, or trying to make them bigger. It's about what you INHALE, not what you exhale.
Andria
I know when I get what I call an Anemic Hit from 50/50 or too low a power level it is not satisfying at all.
What I don't understand is debating the issue.

Really? Government made that claim?How many decades went by before the government informed the public of tobacco health risks? Hell they used to claim smoking was good for you
I suspect it does have some health risks, but they appear to be at least one, and quite possibly several orders of magnitude less than smoking.but now they want to say vaping has health risks.
Similar claims were reported by a research team at Harvard University. However, Harvard University subsequently discredited that report and its results as being based on "non scientific principal" In other words, the results were only achievable in specific laboratory conditions where the results were predetermined and the method used was to produce those results. Basically, ejuice was heated to a temperature no mod can reproduce and no human could ever inhale. In fact, if you did vape at that level, formaldehyde would be the least of your worries.... The damage to your lungs would be fatal.I know it's the internet, but how can something like this be posted?

What they fail to ever mention is the level of these chemicals produced. Even when the test was done under unrealistic circumstances. (NOBODY can vape at over 700 degrees). But.. the mention of arsenic put me in mind of this.....Arsenic is one of the chemicals you won't inhale with a vape.

They allowed it. Do you know why this government was created? According to Declaration of Independence it was to protect liberty but by allowing big tobacco to make claims smoking was good for your health it became destructive to that purpose.Really? Government made that claim?
