I don't think I'll find a better pairing than Bread of Heaven (ejuice) and Laphroaig (whiskey). It's like they were made for each other.

The good news. Since my kit arrived, I haven't bought a pack of regular cigarettes in over 3 weeks.
The bad news. I still have yet to find that body buzz from a regular cigarette that I used to get even with trying 12-24mg juices. Also, I live with two other cig smokers and it's not fucking easy to refuse a drag lol. The willpower required here is absolutely off the charts.
Perhaps it's a mental thing. It's quite possible. I need to try out some different kinds of flavors - All I pretty much have right now are berry/fruit flavors.

Congrats on avoiding buying packs.
I vape 12mg but I don't get a body buzz until I vape it with a lower ohm coil.
What king of hardware are you gaping on?
You may need to get yourself into something with lower ohms and pump up the voltage of whatever mod/battery you are using to increase the throat hit/harshness.

I'm using this kit - http://www.vapedojo.com/products/kanger-evod-starter-kit
The throat/lung hit has definitely been there, but I'm not sure it's just my lungs reacting to something totally different than thousands of chemicals from regular cigs. It feels like I'm just inhaling a smoke machine. My go-to juice has been a 75/25 VG/PG so there's definitely lots of smoke but very little physical effect.

Those batteries only put out 3.7 volts.
Look into the eGo C Twist. It allows you to change the voltage output up to 4.8volts. And the battery will work with the current clearomizers you have now.
At a higher voltage, you will notice a stronger throat punch and hopefully get you the body buzz you crave.
Also, when you order new clearomizers or replacement heads for your clearomizers... go with something in the 1.8ohm vicinity.
A 3.7volt output with a 2.5ohm clearomizer will gave you a waaaaaay less throat punch than a 1.8ohm clearomizer and a battery that puts out something around 4.6 volts.
Dropped my Sigelei Mini Zmax getting out of my car at work and broke both the battery and my Aspire BDC tank a few days ago 
So i picked up an iTaste TVR with an iClear 30s tank. I'm really impressed with it even though it seems a bit advanced for me since I'm not at all familiar with variable wattage. Also, I'm not quite sure of the proper way to refil the tank. Seeing as how it the wick is more perforated than a regular dual coil. It keeps leaking a bit when I refill.
But the design is solid. The feel of it is really nice.

You are a man after my own heart. I have another 50mls arriving tomorrow, and a bottle of Laphroaig on my booze shelf. I will combine the two ASAP!
Yes! Try Casablanca from Backwoods brew. While your ordering get a 15 ml of Conundrum. It's an awesomely weird flavor. Tobacco with a hint of fruit and mint.

It won't disappoint.
I haven't heard a bad word said against House of Liquid. They steep tobacco in eliquid (and sometimes in liquor barrels too) so it's as accurate as you can get.

Got my Magma clone, built it to .6 ohm dual coil 7-8 wraps 26g kanthal on a 5/64 drill bit. Not blown away just yet but I just caught the vapors tongue yesterday.
There's some quality control issues on the clone I hear though concerning copper in the center post.

Ordered a Fogger V4. Everyone's hyping it up to be a super-Aqua.
question. the past times ive been to a juice bar to find a new flavor, i start to get a metallic taste after the 3rd-4th juice sample. similar to what my new kayfun tasted like before giving it a nice cleaning. im assuming its from my atty getting too hot? is there anyway to combat this? im vaping on a patriot clone with dual 24g kanthal micro coils

The FDA stuff shouldn't be too bad for us as users. Smaller juice makers and personal juice makers might end up running into problems though and depending on what, if any, regulations they put on actual devices (mods and batteries), then there could be some headaches there. Being regulated isn't necessarily a bad thing though. It just depends on how much care they're willing to take in approaching the regulations.
Danke danke, I think I'll go with the backwood brew first then try HoL the next time i order juice.
It's actually pretty horrible. Most users I meet tend to go for the smaller boutique juices and those will all be pretty much put out of business. The application process will run to at least $60000 for a single juice with tiered nicotine levels.
Being regulated ain't necessarily a bad thing, but killing every small business and essentially handing the industry over to big tobacco is probably one of the worst things imaginable.

Where did you get $60k from? I hadn't heard anything about specific cost being decided already.

Hmm.. I googled the first couple lines and got results from a number of different pages dating back as long as 5 days ago. I can't seem to find an original source though for some reason. I'm going to keep looking though because right now, it looks like a scare message that's getting spread like chain mail.
Edit: The oldest mention that I find on Google comes from GotVapes Facebook page (but not necessarily made by GotVapes), but it looks like they deleted all their posts that had discussion on the FDA Regulations (though I remember them having quite a few posts on it before). So.. I'm going to take that info with a grain of salt until there's something official from somewhere.
Double Edit: Ok on further inspection, despite Google telling me the post was from 6 days ago.. the only mention I can find is from someone posting onto GotVapes facebook page 23 hours ago, claiming the message was from Clint Morgan Jr of iHybrid Mods, but his page is a personal page and I can't see it to check if/when he posted it.

Not sure on how much its going to cost to submit their juices to the FDA.
But it seams like it will be just like weight lifting supplements. NO Xplode, Super Pump, Jacked, etc. Those are horrible for you. They aren't "FDA Approved" but they are just submitted to the FDA, and if the don't take you off the market... its business as usual.
I imagine juices will be the same. Prices will prolly go up a little bit. The big companies will be able to afford it. They are already making a king's ransom for the juices they make.

I keep seeing people post online that this is going to be affecting devices....but I haven't seen any actual information indicating anything of the sort.
I think it would be impossible for them to do anything about the devices...no?
I mean, you can buy crack pipes at the gas station for christ's sake

Well there's an inherent difference in the two items though. Those kinds of pipes can always be called "Tobacco" pipes and thus aren't actually illegal.
Vaping devices are different in that they're electronic.. so there may be certain regulations put in place to prevent or place restrictions on certain kinds of devices or batteries or combinations of the two. With the danger that can be posed with certain mods not having vents in case of a batteries malfunction and the danger in some of the batteries themselves.. it's not far fetched to think that the FDA could place restrictions on what is commercially available.

Regulation won't ever impact mechanical mods and tanks, at least not in any meaningful way whatsoever. There's no nicotine in them. They are simple devices and they'll just be marketed for other purposes if need be. Think 'Essential Oil Vaporizer! Not for Nicotine use!' You know how many shipping containers from Hong Kong come into this country every day?
Cleaned, rebuilt a new 1.8 coil and loaded my genny with Alpha Vape Mr. Miyagi, which is a Papaya & Plum flavor. Ooooooh baby! They recently launched another line called Omega which I am going to order along with some Virgin Vapors next time I need to restock.
If you like sweet and bakery flavors I found on my last trip that their Sweet Tooth flavor is really amazing. It's a vanilla ice cream inhale and a graham cracker exhale. They didn't have any 30mls last time I was there and I blew through my 10 so fast... one of my favorites for sure.
Another one that surprised me was Epic Juice Apple Jax, which tastes exactly like the cereal. They also make another one I really like called Banilla which is probably the best banana flavor I've tried yet.

Got the Stingray/Kayfun 3.1 combo today. Built a 2 ohm coil on the Kayfun for the MVP, though I would like to build a 1.6 ohm coil honestly. I'll try again eventually. However. I may try to build a sub ohm Kayfun build and just retire the MVP. This fucking Stingray is tiny. I could definitely just carry it around. It's amazing. I have an IGO-T that I built a .8 ohm single coil on and holy shit. I'll post some pics. The stingray is maybe an inch taller than the 18650 battery. It's the same size as my buddy's mod in 18350 mode.

Yup, it's awesome.
I personally set my Kayfun to .5 ohms which is a bit low but with a Stingray and Cuttwood Unicorn Milk e-juice in it, it's my favorite vape.

Got my Helios clone in from FastTech yesterday. Performing nicely and looks awesome.
But the o rings are shit, cap comes off very easily. Can someone point me in the direction of a good site with replacement rings?
Nevermind, found a pack on eBay.

lotta black folks here
I've only been vaping for a month, but I've been getting my juice from canadaejuice. Nothing fancy, but I've been satisfied with the flavours I've tried so far(coconut candy, pineapple, bavarian cream and sweet tarts). Also, (at least if you're in Ontario) the shipping is fast, been getting it next day pretty much every time.
I had been planning on buying The Standard's Curious Jorge from Vapor North, but they were out of mini Protank 2s when I went to order this past weekend, so I ended up just getting sweet tarts from canadaejuice. They seem to be one of the few(only?) places in Canada selling Standard ejuice.

New setup
KFL+, M-Tank, Clear tip, Magneto, Castle Long from Five Pawns
This Castle Long is good. But I prefer Gambit. Still want to try the Reserve and Grandmaster.

It's so... it's so beautiful! If you will allow me a bit of a flight of fancy, modern mods and tanks and the colored juices and the entire functionality of the package really seem like some kind of science fiction to me when compared to the caveman level analog delivery method. Absolutely love it! That M-tank is sick and the condensation in the clear drip tip looks really neat as well.

So true.
I wish the tip was a hair shorter, but whatever.
I just wish I had a cool colored juice to put in it. Damn unicorn milk, they need to figure out how to make it dark pink again.
Bought a bunch of stuff off the ECF classifieds this week. Got the Castle Long for dirt cheap, and the guy was basically giving away Pluid. As cool as it looks, its the worst thing I've ever tasted in my entire life. Absolutely disgusting.

Question:
I vape 12mg but got a good deal on some juices that I want to try in 6mg.
So how can I make this 6mg stronger?
My sweet spot with the 12mg is around 1.5ohm single coil.
So.... if I make (2) 3.0 coils, that will make the dual-coil setup read 1.5ohm..... will that feel "stronger" because it is a dual coil build? ... or will it feel the same as a 1.5ohm single coil?
So option two would be to make (2) 1.5ohm coils with a final output of .75 and that should give me a "stronger" vape?

I think if you have a nice RDA and Mech mod you should make a dual coil sub ohm build. Be careful though with what kind of batteries your using. Everyone I know that delves into sub ohm builds thinks that the 12 mg is way way too strong at those levels. They all vape 6 mg.
