Hey, anybody got a link for a US seller of iClear16/30s?

[kronzino]

Finally got a bottle of Radiator Pluid. I've been hearing about this juice since I started vaping but could never find it until now. This site http://www.vapingwatch.com/eliquid had it for a few days, looks like they're out of it now except 0 nic.



Quick review: STRONG anise flavor mixed with citrus. I'm not a big fan of anise but I don't hate it or anything. The first hit of this was overwhelmingly strong with anise, like a mouthful of licorice. Then there's this very pleasant fruity citrus/apple/peach/idunnolol taste on the tip of the tongue. First few hits I was like "damn now I gotta buy some nic base to dilute this shiit", but after a while I got used to it (probably from a major case of vapor's tongue) and the fruity flavor stood out more. I've taken a quite few hits of this by now and although it is still a little strong on the anise, overall this is very strangely pleasant. I don't know if it lives up to the hype (mainly due to the hype being so huge) but I'm digging this.

In. Kind of want to try different kinds aswell, any personal recommendations?

[militaryd0g]

I'm new to vaping and went from Blu to an eGo to a Lavatube V1. The tank it came with ****in sucked and would burn any liquid when I changed the voltage up from 3.0 any so I bought an iclear 30 tank http://www.myvaporstore.com/Innokin_...p/ink-ic30.htm . For the first 3 days I had no issue, but then I started losing amps (should be 2.1A) until the 5th day it went to 0. Now I have to unscrew the tank to get amps, so I vape with my tank half way unscrewed. Anyone else have this issue with the iclear 30, and what 510 variable voltage tank do you recommend?

Try Protank 2 or a simple carto+tank setup. I liked iClear30 for a short while but it was giving me way too many problems (leaking, gurgling, draw being too tight, etc). Protanks are kind of inconsistent as well but it's like that with all clearomizers, and usually a $1-2 replacement head takes care of the issue. But personally cartomizer+tank has been the most consistent setup for me.

Looks legit bro I'll definitely try it. Btw what's the difference between a tank and cartomizer? Like I said I'm still new to vaping, just got a Lavatube to go big

This is a cartomizer. (Cartomizer = cartridge + atomizer)



You fill this up with liquid, and the filler material in the tube holds the liquid and the atomizer on the tip heats it up, producing vapor.
You can hit straight out of these but they don't hold a whole lot of liquid so that's where the tank comes in.



These are the tanks. It holds the liquid and feeds the cartomizer through a punched hole on the side of the cartomizer.

Together they look like this



Cartomizers are like $2 each at most, tanks usually go for $10-15 at actual stores and much cheaper online, but there are some fancy designer tanks that are quite expensive as well.

One thing to note, citrus and cinnamon flavors tend to crack plastic tanks, so Protanks are great for such juices since they're made of glass & metal.


Boge 510 XL or XXL is my go-to cartomizer and probably the most common.

Hey guys what can you tell me about these hookah vapers i see them everywhere

[bigmane123]

can u smoke tobacco out of a ecig

[Bones98]

can u smoke tobacco out of a ecig

No, but you can use ejuices with natural extracted tobacco flavors.

[MVPBrah]

I remember I bought one of those ehookah's from a tabacco shop for $10. It made my throat hurt a lot and felt like throwing up because it was disgusting. Never vaped since then, i'll stick with cigs

[Nikhiln25]

FDA is going to ban online sales very soon - a lot of these online brands people use here are going to go out of business really quick.

You need to understand these products are manufactured by hand in China, so very few companies actually have quality control. You should give the bigger brands a go (NJOY, Blu, and soon Vuse and MarkTen). These products have significantly higher product control than your normal no name brands that are available in smoke shops and online. In fact, I believe Vuse is the only brand that is manufactured in the United States.

It is not just about bein a good brand. These brands need a distribution network to reach the retail outlets, which they not have. They can't compete with the big brands like blu njoy markten and vuse because these brands have the distribution capabilities and resources to undercut the smaller brands that way the retailers will not pick them up. More important then these brands having consumer appeal is them surviving the distribution onslaught from the bigger players in the industry.

Nope. There's too much demand now. If they wanted to ban them, they would have had to do it years ago before people knew what they were.

Literally the only reason they want to ban is because of how much tax money they're missing out on. Such unbelievable scumbags it blows my mind.

Does vaping ecigs before lifting affects your strength?

We have them sold in stores here. Smoke shops and some shops that only sell e-cigs. The ones you listed there are only sold in the bigger stores, chain pharmacies and convenient stores. They're over priced and just don't work.

Sounds like big tobacco is paying off the FDA to take out their competition

disagree completely

sure, you're not gonna see some custom e-liquid/battery mod at 7-Eleven. but niche shops will continue to flourish and provide these products

Actually that is not entirely true. If you have been following e-cigarettes on the regulatory side you will realize FDA has been in the process of drafting up regulation on ecigs for the past few years. They are now extremely close to making the necessary suggestions to make it federal law, the most obvious of which will be a ban on online sales to prevent underage kids from accessing the product ( it is the same reason online sales of cig are banned). There are already state level laws that ban sale of ecigs to minors and in smoking in public places etc, and the FDA will shortly implement more regulations at the federal level.

Full disclosure: I do research on tobacco and beverage companies for a living, so I follow this stuff daily.

So you really think ALL of these online e-cig supply shops will be just sh*t out of luck? How long do you think it will take until that actually takes effect?

Just completed my first order with Mt Baker Vapor... My body is ready:



I want to order another tank/etc. to try out more juices at once... You guys got a good source for that kind of thing?

Thug Juice is my shiet. All day vape stuff. Good call on the extra flavor shots.

I'd say the cheapest way to try juices is cartomizers. Unless you're into RBAs.

Can you explain cartomizers & RBAs to me...? I'm not educated enough right now about them.

Here's what I currently use, eVic with glass tank:



Also, do I need to steep Mt Baker's juices?

Cartomizers (cartridge + atomizer) look like this:

It holds about 1.5 ml of liquid in the filler material inside. Usually people use those with "carto tanks" which look like this:

Tanks allow you to hold a lot more liquid so you don't have to keep topping off your cartomizer.

But for just sampling juices, fukk the tanks and just use a cartomizer. They're like $1.50 each at most and lasts as long as any atomizer heads, like 2 weeks of moderate use.
The most popular brand is Boge.

RBA stands for rebuildable atomizers, and they look like this:


You can build your own coil using wires and wick materials (silica, cotton, hemp, ekowool, etc). The one pictured is a dripping RBA. When you wanna switch flavors, you can just burn off the juice by holding down power and blowing it off. Kind of intermediate level stuff for vaping, and I wouldn't really recommend it on power regulated devices like the eVic. Usually they're used with mechanical mods.

About steeping, Thug Juice was good right out of the mail but I think they do recommend some steeping. I believe Hawk Sauce needs to be steeped. Not sure about the other one but steeping is always good especially when the juice is mixed of several flavors.

Damn son, that's on point. Thanks so much.

Got YouCig vaps in Deluxe (18mg). Pretty happy with them atm.

Starting to notice more articles in news papers about vaping possibly causing cancer, no conclusive evidence though.
