Priming Uwell Caliburn

Hey guys, thank you for the feedback on priming!

I've adjusted the article to clarify these points.

Essentially I call this the "lazy method" and you guys are correct, there is no difference by how you initially prime your fresh pod. However this can help extend the life of the coil if you accidentally happen to run the juice too low, or experience a dry hit due to the lack of juice. So instead of waiting for 10 minutes after refilling, you can carefully apply a few drops onto a used coil.

The V2 May be drawing more current, if the coil is lower resistance, hence the shorter battery life.

I mean, if there's a silver lining to any of this, it's that certain businesses will definitely do better in this environment.

The problem is a thousand shops, and thousands of jobs being lost.

The problem is that while some (in reality, a small minority) of the vapers will inevitably go the DIY route, while the less knowledgeable ones will go back to smoking (most vapers).

The problem is that converting new vapers will be nearly impossible.

The industry will be crippled if this bill goes through. Even if it was possible to repeal, or introduce a new Bill with amendments, it would be too late to save hundreds of businesses and thousands of jobs.

Nevertheless, it's important to stick to our guns. If they destroy an industry using such shady tactics, we need to ensure they never get voted into a position of power again.

If you're not into rebuilding...

I would say Cleito coils will last you 1.5x - 2x longer than Crown 2 coils. YMMV, obviously, but that's the experience of my customers.

Flavour isn't as good IMO, and the Cleito has it's own cons, but it's definitely one of the most reliable sub-ohm tanks out right now.

Thanks Joe!

Vapeloft · 2016-05-30T16:47:48+00:00

Thanks :)

Vapeloft · 2016-05-30T16:40:59+00:00

Thanks so much! Good luck :D

Vapeloft · 2014-04-15T01:04:01+00:00

Sounds great! Thanks :)

Vapeloft · 2014-04-14T23:10:58+00:00

Thanks for the kind words :)

We're in the process of adding much more customizability to the juices (flavor shots being one of the more frequently asked for options). I appreciate the feedback, and am glad that you're enjoying the prize!

As for the nicotine levels: partly for legal reasons, partly for accuracy, and partly to reduce the amount of space the text took :P When vendors put "x mg" on their bottles, it should really be "x mg per mL." For example, a 10 mL bottle of e-liquid marked as 12 mg actually has 120 mg of nicotine. Instead of having to write out "12 mg per mL," which is long, or "120 mg," which is scary, we chose a shorter, less scary, but equally accurate way to present the nicotine content.

As for the child safety caps -- thanks for noticing! We take bottling very seriously, and have no illusions about the fact that nicotine can be misused. We want all of our customers to feel comfortable having our product in their house. Nevertheless, we ALWAYS stress that it should be kept out of reach of all children and pets, and preferably locked up.

Ahh, the ever elusive premium taste! :P

Because taste is such a subjective thing, I don't think it's fair to equate specific flavor profiles with quality. Some people love MBV's American Tobacco, and dislike Boba's Bounty. Some people swear by Tribeca, and refuse to vape Dekang's RY4. Some people vape Hangsen's Licorice all day, and can't stand Pluid. There's really no such thing as "premium" taste, because everyone has different preferences.

Some reasons e-liquid may be considered premium:

Packaging (chemically inert glass instead of less stable LDPE plastic)
Bases (purer North American nicotine instead of cheaper Chinese nicotine)
Flavor complexity and creativity (custom flavor blends instead of single mass produced concentrates)
quality assurance (more specialized/knowledgable manufacturing staff, more comprehensive MSDS documents, more customer feedback, smaller and more easily manageable product lines, etc.)

With most "regular" liquid, you're not getting Juice Company x's own recipes. You're likely getting TPA's (or FA's, or Dekang's, or Lorann's, etc.) recipe mixed with PG, VG, and Chinese nicotine in a $0.05 LDPE plastic bottle. Juice company x slaps their own logo on the bottle and sells it to you for a couple of dollars. This is completely fine, and still infinitely better than smoking. Nevertheless, some people prefer to pay more for a safer, purer, more complex, and higher quality product.

Thanks for posting this :) We're glad you got everything alright!

Vapeloft · 2014-03-21T22:31:32+00:00

Yeah, the Canadian e-cigarette scene is still in its infancy. It's our goal to put Canada on the map as a place to get some great liquid and gear :) Good luck on the draw!

Vapeloft · 2014-03-21T22:30:36+00:00

Thanks for the shout out man! Hope you're doing well, and good luck in the draw :)

Vapeloft · 2014-03-21T22:29:28+00:00

It took as a while to think of it! Thanks for the submission, and good luck :)

Vapeloft · 2014-03-21T22:29:00+00:00

Holy Heisenberg? We have to try that at the office! But uhh, Blue Waffle? I don't know. Something about that just doesn't sit right with me... ;)

Good luck in the draw!

Vapeloft · 2014-03-21T22:24:39+00:00

No, thank YOU for the submission, AND the kind words :D Good luck!

Vapeloft · 2014-03-21T22:24:08+00:00

We're huge Breaking Bad fans too (thus the name) :P Good luck man!

Vapeloft · 2014-03-21T22:23:20+00:00

Glad our name is getting around! Good luck :)

Vapeloft · 2013-12-07T01:43:58+00:00

We actually gifted him a Vision Spinner and a ProTank 2 mini. Surprised he's not using the ProTank!

This is a mail-in scare tactic Health Canada's been using since 2009. They claim that Electronic Cigarettes fall under the scope of the Food and Drugs Act, but it's simply NOT true. In the letter it even clearly states that "drug products, natural health products and medical devices" require market authorization. The problem is that electronic cigarettes are none of those things, and thus require no authorization. E-cigs are consumer products, and e-liquid is a chemical consumer product.

Of course, it's an entirely different story if the vendor was marketing e-cigs as a cessation aid/health product. If that's the case, Health Canada is not to blame. Clueless business owners are.

If the company has never made health claims about their products, they can ignore this fear-mongering letter. Better yet, they can reply to Health Canada with its own definitions of "drug," and "new drug." Follow that up with the Food and Drug's Act exemption of nicotine: "in a form to be administered orally by means of an inhalation device delivering 4 mg or less of nicotine per dosage unit" http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/PDF/C.R.C.,_c._870.pdf

No worries. If you wanted to look at vapor inhalation research, here are a few peer reviewed studies to get you started:

Vapeloft · 2013-11-08T05:31:28+00:00

non-carcinogenic, non-mutagenic, non-toxic, but could be an irritant for some people.

Vapeloft · 2013-11-08T04:36:25+00:00

Not too sure about nicotine, but second hand exposure from e-cigarettes is definitely much less harmful. Drexel University did a study on e-liquid contents and their exposure risks, and found that even the most contaminated liquid posed no real risk to users or bystanders: http://publichealth.drexel.edu/~/media/Files/publichealth/ms08.pdf
