I know this sounds strange, but I just cleaned my computer (air dusted, took apart keyboard and cleaned, etc) and it seems a bit of cleaning sped up my computer.... webpages open much faster, the computer's more silent...overall a much needed thing. the only thing I can think of, is maybe the dust was causing the processor to overheat a bit and throttle down.
Relating to vaping.... It's much easier to clean a computer that has not been smoked around. This is the first time I've cleaned my computer since I smoked, and it was a whole lot easier. Many people don't realize how much the tar gets built up inside the computer, inside the heat sink on the processor. How much the dust clings to everything, the wires, etc. If you smoke around a computer, the tar gets sticky, and when dust gets around the inside of the smoker's computer, it's like a magnet for dust.
Come to think of it, I haven't had a bearing go bad in any of the fans in this computer since I've been vaping.
took it outside, used my air compressor and blew it off... it all came off and it now looks clean as a whistle. besides wiping the outside of the case, nothing needed to be de-tarred or wiped off.
The keyboard on the other hand... well.. I have a now 7 year old.. enough said.
I'm only about three weeks into vaping and I love it. But I think I am overdoing it with chain vaping. I'm retired so I don't really have much to do and for the past three weeks I've been sitting at my computer and researching all kinds of stuff about equipment and juice and DIY etc, sometimes well into the night. It's become second nature for me to vape while I read. Now keep in mind that although I was a PAD smoker till three weeks ago, I never smoked at my computer - didn't want to spend all day in a stinky atmosphere. With vaping I am taking liberties - maybe far too much than what's good for me.
For the past week I have been sneezing occasionally, coughing up sticky mucus, getting a blocked nose. I'm pretty old and never suffered from any type of allergy. It could be a slight head cold but I don't feel sick at all - more like hay fever symptoms. Mostly I vape a 50-50 mix at 6mg but I do have a few liquids that are higher PG.
So will this pass or am I really overdoing things? Should I lay down some rules as I used to do with my smoking?
I sit at my computer a lot during the day for university, work, and to play games. A few years back, a lot of residue from vaping built up in my case. Didn’t notice until my GTX 1060 stopped working one day. Looked inside and the micro capacitors on the card were sitting in a bit of it and had corroded off the board.
Hypothetically, it shouldn’t have done that. It shouldn’t be conductive or corrosive from what I’ve read, but that’s what happened, honest truth.
Few weeks ago I was swapping out my motherboard and noticed there is once again a bit of residue build up on fans in the case. Not as bad as before. I cleaned it all out with rubbing alcohol.
Is there some kind of way I can prevent this residue from building up in the case? Just been trying to keep a window cracked and blow my vapor out the window.
Maybe some paper towel over the intake fan ports? It’ll reduce airflow I’m sure, but my components usually stay well under harmful temperatures. None of my frequently played games are very intensive.
As most of us are aware the vapor we exhale does build up on things eventually, I recently opened up my computer case to clean it out and found an alarming amount of liquid around and on the fans. The only posts I've found on this very subject all conclude that it is "harmless condensation", well, that is not an accurate description of my findings at all. Anyways, just something to think about.
Hey all! I was just sitting here at my computer scrounging around the web while taking drags off of my "Go-To" vaping setup (Cignot), and it hit me! I use this setup FAR more than I do the ones that I have a lot of money invested in. Is there anyone else that does this, or am I just strange? I mean, I know I'm strange, but I mean about the preference of the less fancy/expensive unit over the other. It makes me wonder if I just haven't taken the time with the other that is necessary.
Hi Guys and Gals,
I have a heap of micro and c type rubber dust covers. Do you think it would be ok to plug say a Renova Zero up or would that depend on the device and whether it vents the battery from this port?
Just thought it might be a good idea to plug them up to stop dust etc.
What's your thoughts ?
Cheers
Especially when I am on my computer (Which is a lot) I chain vape a lot, like I mean... Going through 1ML in the space of 10 mins... (I vape at 5V on a 1.6OHM protank3)
Am I killing myself
When I smoked I had one every 30-60 mins and got like 10 puffs out of it.
Now I find myself going through 10ML a day of 18MG eliquid!
Am I damaging my heart, lungs or giving myself cancer...
I am fairly new, sorry for the stupid question!
Ugh, its so annoying and burning the inside of my mouth.
I am currently using a Snow Wolf, tank and all.
And it spits every time I hit it. I have not cleaned the inside a million times, I don't over prime my coils. I don't know what else to do. Can someone HELP me please.....
I have never had a hint of Dyslexia in my life until I started getting into discussion forums! Just typing that first sentence it happened twice. I keep reversing letters. Anyone else do this (that normally doesn't have any issues)? Thank good ness for spell checker (I'm on a computer... can't imagine how you folks using phones manage with "auto-correct" BS)
I am happy,
1. I Still CAN enjoy the throat hits... but with the SAFER alternative.
2. I CAN still smoke (as my wife put it... and said I'm still smoking and she does not like it... still) I use cuban cigar flavor... but with safer alternative...
3. saves money. (I own ONLY 2 set ups) [VIvi Nova 3.5ml + Vamo6 and Aspire Nautilus 5ml + Cloupor 30W. I'm not planning to go Sub-Ohming and rebuildables... just a casual Vaper.
4. Not into too much clouds... just plain simple smoke (vapor) satisfies me.
5. No second hand smoke so my family ignores my Vaping even in doors while playing the computer.
6. back to one rinse and repeat.
Lately I have been working a full weeks work week aside from writing and recording music part time. Last night I spent a long time recording and putting things together. Some of it needed extra work. These two components together was causing me extra stress. I arrived at work today and accidentally went down to the ground floor without my electronic cigarette that I always take with me, that one along with my backup. When I got downstairs I realized that I forgot it upstairs. Then a thought from outer space came to me and said that because I am so stressed out I need a cigarette because only a cigarette can cure my current feelings in this moment. So I decided to build upon that thought and found myself walking to the gas station to buy Marlboro Reds and I bought a pack.
Now I'm in my office doing computer work. I smoked two cigarettes and I chain smoked them. My hands and clothes smell terrible. Here in NY cigarettes are at least fourteen dollars and I really wasted this money. Now I'm feeling bad that I bought them, I wish I didn't. Maybe I need to go through this situation for the next time I'm in a similar position so I don't make the same mistakes I had made today.
To be honest when I smoked those two I finished them and felt like I still didn't get my fill and this never happened with electronic cigarettes. I'm always happy that I smell good like aftershave in the morning when I leave my house and if I smoke a cigarette and go on the train or bus I'll smell terrible.
I will try to use this event as a lesson in my future. To take the negative as positive advice as to what to look out for. I'm sure others can relate to this.
