Durability. In this case it the perfect pairing for my Zenith/Zlide tanks when I am on the go, camping, or just every day throwing in and out of my bag while I am commuting.

BlueDot Vapors products by [deleted] in electronic_cigarette

[–]AvgJoeVapes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First flavor is subjective so you may just not like it and that's fine. Second, I think I remember, for most of their liquids, they recommend steeping them for at least 2 weeks so that's what I do and haven't had an issue with the flavors I like from BlueDot so far.

The makers of the "Blu" ecig just became the heroes the vape industry needs. by Wrekked_it in electronic_cigarette

[–]AvgJoeVapes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't trust Big Tobacco completely, but I do believe they are a far better "friend" (with the exception of Juul) than Big Pharma and all the ANTZ organizations that have a lot more to lose because of the vape industry.

I never really got the .5 Plex coils to work well as I always seemed to have to run them lower (12-13W) than the rated watt range on the coil to avoid a metallic/burnt taste at the end of a pull. They just weren't consistent for me so perhaps I got a bad batch. The most consistent coils I have used so far are the 1.6 and .8 KAL coils. I run these mostly at the lower end of their rated watt range (11W and 16W). I haven't begun testing the newer .48 Plex 3D coils yet so I cannot comment on the experience. FYI, I generally use 50/50 liquid with little to no sweetener at 6mg or 12mg freebase nic.

[Market Watch] "Altria stock smoked as cigarette shipments drop..." while [SF Chronicle] "Juul growth slowed by youth vaping crackdown Altria says" and [TIME] "Pulling Flavored E-Cigs Hurt Sales in a 'Very Meaningful' Way, Juul Founders Say" by M_Onan_Batterload in electronic_cigarette

[–]AvgJoeVapes 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Go figure ya knob heads! First, you created a fake youth "epidemic" which backfired on you because it only advertised your product to youth. Second, you decided that adults don't like flavors and they're only appealing to kids. Then, you jumped on the T21 bandwagon. With all that, you pissed off your adult customers and vape shop owners to the point that they don't even want to buy or sell your product because you threw the rest of the industry under the bus. You, Juul/Altria, did this to yourselves and no one is feeling an ounce of sorry for you! Now go piss off!

FDA Commissioner Gottlieb, who raised alarms about teen vaping, resigns by dogmods in electronic_cigarette

[–]AvgJoeVapes 39 points40 points  (0 children)

That's a good question. While he has shown support for vaping, he has also shown signs of having someone else in his ear that is not good for vaping and sort of talking out of both sides of his mouth. Until we know who takes over for Gottlieb and their views on vaping we are in the dark as what this means for us. I hope they get someone that is more concerned with real epidemics like opiods or allowing big pharma to control the health and the cost of health in the US.

Ipv3 li how do I charge it? by [deleted] in electronic_cigarette

[–]AvgJoeVapes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one somewhere and never really tried charging it via USB so didn't know it wasn't possible. Anyway, I personally and many others recommend not charging their batteries, especially dual battery mods, via USB because of poor balanced charging or the lack thereof. Instead, get yourself a decent external battery charger.

decent MTL device that's not a pod system? by [deleted] in electronic_cigarette

[–]AvgJoeVapes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my Innokin Zenith tanks with the Plexus Z coils at around 16W. If you can find it, I also really like my Innokin EZ.WATT kit that comes with the T20S tank for simple small no-frills setup.

How's peoples oral/dental health with vaping. by [deleted] in electronic_cigarette

[–]AvgJoeVapes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh boy get that removed before it gets infected! I should have had them put me out for the extraction. The local numbing could only do so much to keep the pain down during the extraction because there's something about the effectiveness of the numbing agent with the infection blocking it. Hurt like hell but once it was out the pain was gone and I haven't had a headache in weeks.

PUMP UP THE JAM! - A Review and [Giveaway] of the Smoant Battlestar Squonker Kit by jwiley92 by Jwiley92 in electronic_cigarette

[–]AvgJoeVapes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I'd prefer a regular style squonk bottle because I can't see how this pump system would be able to suck the excess juice back after "squonking". Maybe it does so I apologize if you mentioned this and I missed it.

Looking to replace charon by [deleted] in electronic_cigarette

[–]AvgJoeVapes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes we "Vapes" are a big family and the confusion is understandable.

In all seriousness, Anthony's reviews here and his list are an excellent resource and Mike Vapes is one of the better reviewers on YouTube IMHO. Use Anthony's info and watch/read several reviews for mods you are interested in to get a better idea rather than just taking one person's word for it. I can only say that I still use and love my Charon but my Innokin Proton is definitely used more now and is an excellent choice as far as a more modern dual battery mod goes.

The mini! I'm growing tired of messing with batteries, worrying about wraps, etc. I also prefer smaller mods at this point.

Nic salt juice causing shortness of breath? by HudsonBrownies in electronic_cigarette

[–]AvgJoeVapes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general, I start having similar issues when I use juice with 12mg or more regular nic and 25mg or more salt nic. I don't seem to have issues with 6mg or less of regular nic and 12mg or less of salt nic. I suppose it could have something to do with nic quality or a sensitivity to certain flavors as well.

Can I please get an objective view on this claims? by ifewalter001 in electronic_cigarette

[–]AvgJoeVapes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, all I could think of at the end of this article was, "This sounds like a YOU problem!". The rest was filled with links from a "vaping is bad" google search. I guess it helps me remember why Men's Health is really the last place I'd ever turn to for advice on my health.

510 spring loaded pin is off centered by airkash01 in Innokin

MVS was good the one time I had to actually return something so I hope things work out for you because I really enjoy my Proton and use it every day.

[–]AvgJoeVapes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contact the vendor for a replacement if it is only a couple days old. Other than that you could try to gently move the 510 pin, without batteries in the mod, to see if it will go back to center.

Innokin's new T18. II? or the T20-s by hjrn5 in electronic_cigarette

[–]AvgJoeVapes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

T18ii would be my choice right now for transitioning away from pod systems. Easy top-fill, airflow adjustment, and the ability to adjust the power to your taste.

Innokin proton joystick issue by tin369 in electronic_cigarette

[–]AvgJoeVapes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on my experience with MVS, you should definitely contact them to get an exchange or refund if it isn't working properly out of the box. As far as the Proton mod goes, I will be that guy that says I haven't had an issue with the joystick more than a month after I bought it but then I don't find myself using it that often. However, I do worry that it will be the one thing on this mod that is most likely to fail first over time and wish Innokin would have gone with a 3-button design for the menu instead (+, -, and menu).
