The more technical will already know it probably. I was trying to tempt the less technical. You never know.  |

This may not be any use, but here is some science. My apologies.
In a direct current resistive circuit, which is what we are talking about, there are a couple of useful, simple equations.
The first relates the values of current, voltage and resistance.
Ohms Law
V (voltage, measured in volt) = I (current. measured in amp) x R (measured in ohm)
V= IR.
The second equation uses the same symbols to express the total amount of power used to heat the coil (ie how strong the vape is). Joule's Law
P (Power, watt) = IV
and by substituting Ohm's Law into Joule's
P= IV = IxIxR = (VxV)/R
So it's possible to arrange different values of V,I and R to provide the same 'strength' vape.
If power or (more usually) current is limited, you can easily work out how this affects things, if you know either the target voltage or the resistance.
Again, my apologies.

Don't really know. I expect hamsters will be OK as long as Griz grinds 'em up really small so there's no hairy chunks. That might tend to clog up cartos.

Also got a couple of new Recipes coming up this weekend. I won't tell you their names, you can guess that yourself  I'm pretty sure cat flavour won't go down too well in certain circles. A step too far imo. |

3&1/2 Months for me so far, I know where you're coming from as I have also had two goes at tobacco in that time, mainly to be sociable.
I think it's easy to confuse the mindset of total abstinence, where any backsliding is a disaster, with the less rigorous requirements of vaping - tobacco replacement and harm-reduction. Basically there are only degrees of success from now on. I'm sure that's why vaping can work where the total abstinence method usually fails due to a single moment of human weakness. It doesn't apply to you now, maccafan.
A couple of other things. First, next time you can use your friends' smoking to introduce them to the mysteries of vaping. Lay out the kit, a range of flavours, some wipes, and say you prefer robofags now, does anyone else want to try Whiskey Cream? Worked for me anyhow.
Second, if you get vaping right (kit, technique etc) it's more enjoyable than smoking as well as healthier and much cheaper. That means tobacco is not a threat any more now that it's your second choice - you know you'll go back to vaping.

They do sell them. Many thanks. I don't use tanks a lot, but I had one cap that leaked quite badly after a few weeks. I'm uncommonly hamfisted and rough with kit however, so that might explain it.

I'm thinking about trying C tanks, I'd be very interested in your views when you've tried them, particularly atiomiser lifespan. + I have a question On the plastic tank parts, what limits their life is the little rubber cap at the bottom which starts to leak juice after a while. Rather than chucking away the whole thing and starting a new tank, I know it's possible to just buy new caps eg here www.healthcabin.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1106_1072&products_id=7803meaning you never have to buy new tanks once you've bought five or so. Just wash them out and replace the cap. A bit cheaper if you're tight like me. Q: Does anyone in the UK sell these caps online? I suppose they're more trouble than they're worth for most retailers, if they can get you to buy 5 new tanks instead. Seems a bit wasteful though. Ego T tanks are pretty expensive to run, hopefully Cs will be more economical. |
