29th Of May, Utrecht - Holland. Demonstration

(I know this doesn't apply to all of us, but for me it sure does.)

I mean.. look at us. Spending so much time here on the forum reading about tips and tricks, what's your vape? what is the juice you vape? etc etc. I haven't joined a forum for 15 years or so. The last time i was on a forum i was a 16 year old boy, trying to figure out life and the best way i knew how was being anonymous on the internet asking and pondering life's questions.. like "*** am i supposed to do here on planet earth?"

Nowadays i watch daily video's about vaping. From health concerns to indoor smokers, from conspiracy theories (tobacco companies) to Rip Trippers. Outside the digital life whenever i'm home i either vape, try new juices, building another coil, wicking and make my girlfriend try a new taste oh.. almost forgot the most expensive part, checking out webstores for... whatever i think might be missing from my collection

Don't get me wrong though, i love it. It's fun, it's interesting, it's a bit of a nerd thing i guess. Trying to find the perfect vape. It's like a drug (and i know drugs, i like them.. from time to time with moderation offcourse
nicotine is a drug, caffeine is a psycho active drug, alcohol and offcourse all the illegal ones. From xtc to heroine, one worse then the other)

But i find it very interesting that since i started vaping that i somehow had this need to find fellow vapers and talk about it. Haven't had that feeling for years, to be part of something.

I also never ever attended a demonstration for anything in my life, but today in a couple of hours from now i'll be in Utrecht vaping with other vapers against the ****ty little regulations the EU forces on us vapers. I do this for multiple reasons;

1) i truly hate that whoever says i cannot do/buy/use something *as long i'm not hurting or bother someone else with it*
2) it pisses me off that the elite, may it be a person or the bigger companies use unfair tactics to get whatever they want
3) to meet fellow vapers and talk about... vaping..

Anyway yesterday night in bed i thought this and was wondering how you guys/girls feel about it  

I'm from Turkey and as far as I see my fellow vapers are so much concerned about having satisfying throat hit comparing to most other countries. Here I really don't want to bother you with other factors like Nicotin and PG ratio, Power settings, wick and airflow.
I'm just and merely interested in design of chimney and the tank itself with their effect on throat hit, because this is what I hear from most local vapers. This can't be as easy as explaining it with the height of tank, shape of chimney and position of coils. Please don't hesitate to throw away your ideas in order to enlighten me and other misguided/misinformed vapers. Thanks in advance for all contributers.

Hope to see as many of you as possible there. United Vapers Alliance website is back up, more info to follow

As a new Vaper myself, I spent hours upon hours searching for this information. Many questions were asked and many links were given to me. Those links, and question answers are all here. This is a list for basic direction, but does include some liquid discussion, supplier discussion, etc. This is designed for the basic over and over again questions with the same links usually provided, but just put in one place easy to find. I tried as hard as I could to credit the author of each link. None of this information is my own, but rather a compilation from mostly ECF, but a few from around the web.

I hope this helps some folks out.

Huge THANK YOU to all the people who took the time to make this information available to us all.


First lets get some terminology and a few things you can expect as a new vaper out of the way.

So I'm thinking tomorrow I'm going to do my first video review for a box mod

After posting my long AF review about the Sigelei 30watt mini the other day I realized I could have said so much more in half the time it took me to type it. So going to go ahead and try it out. So my question is to all my fellow vapers, for those of you that watch review videos, what are you're least favorite/most favorite part of the videos? What info do you look forward too most when watching a review? Give me input so I can focus on curtain thinags and leave the annoying crap out
When I post it I'll be looking for constructive criticism from everyone  

I have seen stuff on CASAA about it but I haven't seen anything on the subject here. I can't go because it's too close to a Drs appointment but I really wish I could and I hope there will be more demonstrations especially as we get closer to the cut off date in May.

Copied from my email:

So I’ve been vaping for around 7-8 years and in all that time I’ve never broken the glass on any of my tanks even though they have all been dropped several times on many different surfaces. Well that all changed today when I dropped the bulb glass on my Uforce T2 while cleaning it during a coil change. Sadly I only have one and the extra is a straight wall glass that reduces the capacity. So I’ve ordered a three pack of bulb glass in case it happens again. I haven’t started a thread in awhile and thought this was the perfect subject to share with my fellow vapers. My diary entry says...”Today I became a man” I know it’s kinda B.S. that in order for us guys to be considered a man in today’s society we cannot have an intact cherry. I don’t make the rules, I just follow them, and although I don’t agree completely, I do feel a little different afterwards. Dare I say, more like a man. Anyway for you ladies thinking of breaking your first glass tank, here is some musical inspiration courtesy of Neil Diamond.

This is what happens when I’ve been locked up in my house for too long, scared of the world around me. Things get weird man...

This may be old but was informed and wanted to pass the info along.

Using COVID-19, Congress Bans USPS Vape Shipping  

A future that looks very bleak for vapers here in Europe. So I keep stocking up on stuff that I hope will see me through the worst of it. I recently got a small mod that takes interchangeable batteries. However it is the vv kind. My question is - supposing whatever controls the vv dies, would the mod still be functional?

Sorry if this is in the wrong place but it seems like a general question and I couldn't find a specific place for it.  

Just FYI the website is back on line, keep checking back for info on the DC Rally nothing yet
