Random question for you guys...
Changed my air purifier HEPA filters back in April as they were moldy, but not really wet. Maybe damp. Tonight I went to change the carbon filter and noticed some pooling at the bottom and when I took out the HEPA filters they were SOAKED. I cleaned it up as best as I could and put it back together. I plan on leaving the whole mess in the sun all day tomorrow to dry it out.
I'm guessing this is due to my increased presence and vaping in my bedroom. I guess what I'm asking is are your air purifiers getting wet and is there a better option out there? I'm looking at dehumidifiers and considering running both of them. Anyone using a dehumidifer with success?
It's obviously more humid in summer but I don't think I have big humidity issues as I'm in Denver (dry) with AC on. I think 50 ml a week is just too much for this thing.
Not sure where to post this, but some pods have bad spit back. I'm trying to make the switch back. I slipped when my mother died in April(was vaping only for 4-5yr's before that). The device itself was 99cent's at a local store so I grabbed 3 of them. The pods have been so random tho 3/6 where fine in 1 flavor. 2/2 where fine in another, the 3rd flavor was 0/2. Was wonder if other's where having this issue maybe switch to Juul? Before I can get back from mtl to dl with my other mods/rda's/juice.
Bear with me all as I have to be a bit verbose.
I have a boxer bf mod
I have numerous Rda
I am vaping mtl a juice I’ve been vaping 5+ years.
I didn’t use my boxer or any rda for a while. When I did a rebuild as usual I noticed a “bad” flavour. Like most of you I went through a series of steps to no avail
I changed atomisers did a new build and soaked (vinegar, then retainer brite, baking soda and ultimately boiled) the other one
I confirmed if I drip the juice tastes as expected
I changed bottles and soaked (like above) the bottle
I took apart the boxer and soaked the 510 (as above)
Obviously these cleanings weren’t all at once. I tried vinegar. Then when that failed I tried retainer brite (great to remove discolouration but leaves a slightly mint flavour for a few draws),when that didn’t work I tried boiling.
At this point I’m starting to wonder if something is going on with the way the mod is activating. The only thing left I can think of is that for some reason (and I’m not sure why it would have developed) when the metal bar contacts the ring on the 510/feeding tube area there’s some kind of charge that’s happening and raining juice or melting plastic (which I don’t see). Either that or there is some mould or something deep in the 510 assembly.
Have any of you ever experienced this kind of flavour terrible all of a sudden? I have now tried 4 bottles with four tubes. I have cleaned every element at least five times. I have confirmed I’m not just tasting it wrong by dripping.
it’s clearly not the atomiser or build related. I have a hard time believing it’s bottle related after what I’ve done to them.
I just cannot figure this out. The next step of course is going to be to try and use the same bottles /atomiser on another mod but I thought I’d ping you all to see what your thoughts are - because in ten years of vaping I haven’t experienced this, and troubleshooting has taken hours so far.
Just a few final points
no shorting
Very minor sparks as you’d expect from this mod and the way it makes contact at an angle
Been vaping a very long time and building since almost day one
The rda’s are authentic, stainless etc I’ve tried 3 of them at least
It’s not wire or cotton
I’m stumped. Appreciate any thoughts.
Hi ,
Was an active member for quite a while. Gave away all my vaping gear apart from two billet box mods. A 2015 and 2017.
I've dusted them off. Bought some eLiquid from old Old faithful halo.
What are people running in their BB? I've got a box of 510 cartomizers. Should I look at something else ?
I've been on nic gum for the past few years..and need to get off it. So back to vaping ..thanks for the help.
I noticed since I gave vaping away reos mods has closed. And nic salts are now an option..how quickly things change .
So they changed the name.. they got nicotine right on out of the name. It doesn't appear that the business model is changed in any significant way or at least not yet they still in their introduction mention nicotine and vaping but they literally say that they want a new name that's not going to hold them back from the future I wonder what that could possibly mean...hope it works.
I mean I guess this could have been in the works for many years to change the name or be completely unrelated to anything going on right now but it makes you think
So I just bought a new Nautilus 2S. I looked at YouTube videos beforehand and I saw that it has a leak proof system. But when I unscrewed the bottom to make sure that I have the right coil pre-installed, the entire bottom came out, similar to the Nautilus 2. Is all versions of the Nautilus 2S with this locking system or some don't have it? I tried hard to unscrew the very bottom but instead it came out like the 2 so I took off the glass and changed the coil, put the glass back, filled from the top and started vaping. Did I do something wrong?
So I started running again. I can say from experience that vaping has to be better for your lungs than smoking ! I was up to running 5 or more miles a day and up to 10 miles while smoking a pack a day. (I'm a former Marine so I tend to do things to the extreme.) When I was smoking in the beginning of a run I would feel a tightness in my chest and I used to attribute to having to get into an aerobic heartbeat. Breathing would be hard for a while. But I would always push myself to do the run. I would finish a run and stop and hack a bit then light a ciggarette. (..... I am lol) I always wondered how it would feel to run if I wasn't smoking. So I haven't run in quite some time (Old Man Winter) and I have been quit smoking for a while. So I started out with a short 2 mile run today. Guess what ? No tightness in the chest, no hard breathing and no hacking ! Can't wait to get back up into the big mile range again ! So if vaping actually had an effect on your lungs would I have not felt it ? In contrary vaping has greatly improved my lungs. So I don't need any scientific studies I just completed my own study ! Hey if anyone else has noticed the same thing let me know I'm interested in your opinion.
Driven by an almost irresistible force, I got a pack of camel non-filters after a year of vaping just to remember the taste. I couldn't believe how NASTY it was. Tasted like a pile of burning newspaper (NY times like). They were a little stale, but still NASTY. Now I know. Back to Squonking on the flavors I can't buy anymore thanks to the FDA. My fingers still stank after multiple scrubbings to boot. (insert steaming pile emoticon here)
I noticed that ecigexpress changed their name to flavorjungle, what this means(if anything), I have no idea. If I had to guess I think they are going to sell nothing but flavors, no more nicotine.
I guess it's been about 1 to 1 1/2 years since I've been in here. Life got busy for me.
I've been happy with the Vamo V2 and Aspire dual coil Davide setup I run. So I really wasn't chasing "the next new thing". But WOW how things have changed in a year and a half or so. Now everyone is using box mods with sub ohm factory coils, or twin stack coils.
Aspire seems to have made a name for themselves, and there seems to be a bunch of new suppliers getting in the ring. Along with the old reliable ones such as Kanger, it seems there is a whole lot of selections out there.
I feel like a newbe all over again.
I guess I'm just going to have to sit back, read a few threads, and do some catching up.
Y'all have fun!!
Was all set to play cards with friends tonight. A tradition in our group for over 20 years now. For at least the last 8 years, I'd be vaping at the table. Occasionally a (liberal) friend would want to have a discussion on the politics of vaping. That usually didn't end well. Kinda easy to win a discussion when you're holding a winning hand (metaphorically speaking).
We change off on who hosts, and everywhere we've ever played, I've always been allowed to vape, at the table. Tonight, I asked the host (just to be sure) if he is okay with me vaping. He said, he'd prefer I didn't. We discussed it a short while, and while I could possibly still enjoy myself with the updated policy (literally changed as of today), I decided it's not worth it. Part of me is lashing out at the societal changes of late.
Literally nothing (at all) has changed with vaping nicotine in the last 3+ months, yet as most of you all know, we are now in a societal phase where people truly believe both vaping (nic) is harmful to the user (as in you might die tonight) and harmful to all those around the vaper.
Given how idiotic society has become with 'knowledge of smoking,' I'm quite certain we will be in this phase indefinitely, or for a very long while. Probably won't be too long that we have statistics saying 300,000 people die annually from vaping related diseases. Sad if anyone reading this falls in line with that false information.
