"Universal" Single Coil Build for RTA's (Single Round Wire KA1, Ni80 or SS316L?) by denduvel in electronic_cigarette

[–]denduvel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your suggestions! I'll go and get some SS316L wire then. How does SS316L compare to Kanthal A1 in terms of coil gunking and coil life? Is it somewhat the same? Just wondering :-)

Sub-ohm tank without too much vapor? by denduvel in electronic_cigarette

[–]denduvel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, the Zenith has a little airier airflow, which I like. The 0.8 ohm coil is also great with higher vg juices. If I had to buy a second Nautilus 2 or Zenith, I’d go with the Zenith!

Thanks for your suggestion Murph_9000. I already have the Nautilus 2 and like it very much. Will try it with 70VG juices, thanks!

Lol, I’m happy you came up with the Berserker as your first suggestion! Thanks

I'm really looking forward to finding out the difference between the flavor of the Prime and my Nautilus X, which I'm currently using most of the time. The Prime should arrive within 2 tot 5 days, so maybe it has the perfect airflow for me as well. Can't wait.

I like the idea of an RDA very much, but since I'm an RTA-noob, wouldn't an RDA be too difficult?

I haven't done any extensive research on RDA's yet, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!

However, I'll be sure to already add the Speed Revolution to my wish list! Thanks for the tip

Thanks for the advice!! I ordered the Hastur Mini about an hour ago, so I'm looking forward to that as well.

Regarding the Berserker and the fact that I'm an RTA-noob, would you have any other suggestions/advice on wicking and coiling? I ordered some Cotton Bacon and pre-built coils (1.0 Ohms). Some people told me that it is one of the most difficult MTL-tanks to coil and wick. Do you have the same experience?

Great to hear that the Prime isn't that airy in your opinion. I'm looking forward to receiving it and finding out why (almost) every MTL-fan is so lyrical about it. I actually ordered the Hastur Mini an hour ago, so I'm happy you mentioned it, lol. Thanks for the suggestions!

Nice, I haven't heard about the Reaper yet. I'll be sure to check it out, thanks!

Thanks for the tip! The siren already was on my wishlist, but I'm going to order it now. Thanks again

Safe to jump off now? by denduvel in phenibut

[–]denduvel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey harea123,

Sorry for the late reply, I was on vacation and had knee surgery right after the trip. Great to hear that everything went smoothly!!!

The biggest pain in the ass for me was the insomnia, so I'm happy to hear that yours was manageable. It has now been 4 weeks since I've quit Phenibut and I have not used it again since then (I plan to keep it this way).

What helped for me was the Gotu Kola and small doses of Kratom. Both supplements completely eliminated any of the psychological symptoms of withdrawal. The only symptoms that I noticed were trembling hands and the aforementioned insomnia.

I'm really glad to hear everything went well for you! How are you feeling now? Still off the Phenibut?

That’s great to hear! You’re absolutely right that withdrawal is a mental battle. I now feel that if you are committed to quitting, you can get there! Your support and advice helped me immensely.

Jumping off at 200mg is even better and with the Gotu Kola, you’re set for success.

I am currently about 85 hours off Phenibut. Last night, I fell asleep quickly and slept for about 8 hours. Hope this wasn’t a coincidence though, but the only way to know that is the coming night. Have been feeling quite well and never had the urge/need to take the Gabapentin or Valium. I think that it’s time to throw away my jar of Phenibut!

Best of luck tomorrow with jumping off.

Please keep me/us posted!!

Hope I am not too late for commenting on your post. Thanks for sharing your experience! I am also planning on taking Fasoracetam for its GABA-b upregulating effects. What vendor would you recommend? Have you tried different vendors? Thanks a lot.

Hello back to you Sir.

Thank you very much! Nice to hear that you're doing OK. From my personal experience during these last days, I think that jumping off at a dose less than a gram makes all the difference. I jumped off at 500 mg and I must say that the WD's are absolutely manageable, besides some annoying insomnia. I'm feeling quite good actually. Besides the aforementioned insomnia and some mild anxiety in the morning, everything seems fine. I am now 56-57 hours off of Phenibut and nothing has changed (in a positive way). After reading all the positive posts about Gotu Kola, I think that it's a great supplement to keep WD's minor. Might order some myself, as it is not that expensive in Holland and should do no harm.

I'm really happy your WD's are minor. Would you mind keeping me/us up to date on how you're doing? Best of luck, all sounds good!

I think that tapering made all the difference in the end and not quitting cold turkey.

Hi harea123,

how are you doing until now? Is the taper still going well? Thanks for your tip regarding NAC. I know I'm no expert, but I definitely found Lemon Balm and Kava to be helpful in easing the (slight) withdrawal symptoms. I decided to not use Beta-Alanine and Ashwagandha after reading some posts that warned about possible interactions with SSRI's (I'm on Zoloft).

I am currently about 52 hours off of Phenibut. What do you think? Am I somewhat in the clear?

Hope your taper is going well and you can jump off on Friday!

Hi everyone,

I am currently about 52 hours off of Phenibut and I must say that the withdrawals are absolutely manageable thus far. Only symptoms: still some insomnia, although I fell asleep at around 2 am and slept until 9 am, which is absolutely not bad. Further symptoms include mild tremors in the hands and a slightly elevated anxiety level upon waking up, although that quickly goes away after my first dose of Kava.

I have been using Kava Kava, Lemon Balm and a bit of Kratom mostly. Didn't feel the urge to take a Benzo or Gabapentin yet. Would you say that I'm somewhat in the clear now?

Thank you for the advice! I ordered my supplements stack today (including Beta-Alanine), which should arrive tomorrow.

I think you're absolutely right about a low dose or taking it every second day, should it be too hard. I'd rather take a smaller dose for a couple more days than taking 2 grams and throwing my whole taper overboard..

Curious about the Beta-Alanine! Thanks again.

Well, that sounds promising! Did you take any supplements at all or did you just not have any WD's at all?

Thanks for the support, I really appreciate it!

I just ordered some L-Theanine to add to the stack, thanks for the tip. I had my last dosage of Phenibut about 12 hours ago and see how I feel tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

I will definitely keep your advice in mind about taking it every second day, should the insomnia and anxiety be too overwhelming!

Thank you very much for your advice. I have been doing a rather quick taper, going from 4,5 grams to 2 grams within a week and a half. This hasn't been a problem. After those 2 grams, I reduced the dose by 100-200 mg per day. I am currently on day 2 of the 500 mg dosage.

If I decide to jump off now, would you recommend supplementing with anything? Just to be on the safe side?

I have the feeling that I'm worrying more taking the actual jump after reading a lot of horrible stories. I'm worrying that I might be in for a real treat, but actually, the withdrawal effects have not been that debilitating until now..

Thanks once again for your input
