What are /r/Canadian_ecigarette's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I always get my kanthal from lightningvapes.com and my cotton directly from japan on amazon.

https://www.amazon.ca/Cotton-Labo-ORGANIC-200pc-japan/dp/B000TCD51A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1475068132&sr=8-1&keywords=cotton+puff

Nobody in canada is even close to this kind of prices.

Best way to "speed steep" is a ultra sonic cleaner. Arguably the only way unless you happen to have access to a centrifuge. You can pick one up on amazon for cheap but it only runs for 3 minutes at a time. About 10 cycles is equivalent to a 2 days ish in a dark cool area. If you're handy with a soldering iron you can replace the button with a toggle switch and it will run constantly.

Also benefits on a easy way to clean your gear and coils.

Digital calipers are only 25$ on amazon and have saved my butt many times. Just a few quick measurements and your good to go, no need to worry what a manufacturer wants to and doesn't want to tell you.

Side note, O-rings are no exact science really(for vaping anyway). Amazon, princess auto (basically any parts store besides crappy auto) will have a 20ish dollar oring kit that will be assorted sizes from pin cushion small to a few inches in diameter. Just root through the kit till ya find one that fits :)

Same issue with firefox.

Portableapps has a standalone version of google chrome if anyone doesn't want to do the full/normal install.. Can just delete the folder after if you don't want it.

It's not going to kill vaping, just restrict it in many ways.

The one thing that is truly inhuman is the ban on vaping for psychiatric patients. I mean, people with mental disorders are the heaviest smokers you'll ever meet. They, more than anyone, need the right to vape, but they've now lost it.

Anyway, many of us have been saying for a long time, learn to DIY and none of this will ever effect you (other than maybe the random seizure of a nic base order at customs).

PG, VG, flavorings, none of these things will ever be illegal. Ecigs and kanthal same thing, they won't be illegal either.

It's just the nicotine that the gov has used to classify ecigs as tobacco products... which does cause headaches for B&M's.

In your eyes, the default position for someone replying to what you say in a critical manner means they're mad? I think that says more about you than anything else.

Are you using some alternate universe form of Google?

I've tried most of them, but I find microcoil pro to be the best for me on android. I migrated from iPhone a few years back and never looked back :)

$3 to "activate" temperature control *smh

EDIT: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smoktech.smok&hl=en

AND its an in app purchase lol

Never?

That's just the fasttech price. Considering you've got 100 of them they probably came from alibaba at around half that price in bulk. Like this for under $3 US per kit.

they won't ship to Canada, or they just wont show shipping costs to Canada for some reason, so this is all irrelevant to the OP

edit - they dont ship to Canada. Checkout page clearly says "USA warehouse ships to 1 country(s)". I think you can guess which country that is.

Generally i look for INR or IMR chemistry from a reliable vendor

Considering Canvapes price its very hard not to buy 25r over and over because its just so affordable... reliable... i have 2 sets since january and they are used almost every other day IE i run down 2 cells a day so lets say out of 300 days these cells have been changed easily 100 times already and the 25r is holding up very well

IMHO for a charger http://www.gearbest.com/chargers-batteries/pp_141649.html

XTAR WP2s 1/4 up to 1 amp per bay variable charging comes with a car charger cable works as a power bank to charge your phone

Depends how many you want. I just picked up a dozen from Amazon. Solidly packaged (I'm actually keeping the box around for storage when not in use; if I fill 'em all I may use it to keep things orderly in the fridge), and Prime eligible. They've got amber and clear options too.

You can buy any digital scale that measures to 2 decimal places (0.01). I bought this one off Amazon and it works fine and is guaranteed for 10 years. When I bought one they only cost $11 but I see Amazon is selling them for $20 now: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0012LOQUQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (edit: this scale only goes up to 100mg so it's only good for small batches --- it's makes a good starter scale or if you're like me and only mix small bottles of eliquid up to 60 ml).

I get mine from Amazon. It takes a bit to ship, but a bag lasts me about a year.

https://www.amazon.ca/COTTON-Organic-Cotton-Large-Pound/dp/B000TCEXOS/ref=mp_s_a_1_fkmr1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1545938107&sr=8-2-fkmr1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=Organic+cotton+pads+labo

I get the large ones due to some of my drippers needing longer wicks, but the mediums work great for smaller attys.

I'm looking in to it, but not for at least 3 months. Long story short, but I went exclusively with Amazon, but that only lasts 90 days and then I have to reassess whether I want to go exclusive with them for another 90 days.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amazon.kindle&hl=en

I've never tried this myself, but there is a free kindle reader for android.

Yea I know I was going to grab this: http://www.gearbest.com/vapor-accessories/pp_343196.html

But I am being cheap, then again I may just get it anyways.

It is a pain that they do not ship battery to Canada which is a same considering they are VTC5's and apparently are legit according to the reviews with pictures. They look real to me.

Is it a problem shipping E-liquid? If it's the case I could do a order just for them, I just don't want to deal with the ripoff merchants around my local area, the prices are insane.

This has now changed

My 2 orders of x4 LG HE4's, shipped on the 25th both arrived today..

Considering it didn't get shipped until the 25th I'd have to say that's pretty damn quick... They (Gearbest) shipped them via NL.

Still on sale btw 18$ for 4x.. http://www.gearbest.com/batteries/pp_254172.html

Gearbest $37.61 and Fasttech $40.47 have them

alibaba

It's available from a US ebay retailer, but I can't get to that link from work.

sold out currently but these might be the guys I was thinking of...

Yeah all the episodes are archived on the twitch account and there website I believe the archives are 1 week behind for non subscribers (I gladly pay my 5$ a month to support the show and be able to watch the vod instantly when I happen to miss the live show) but i've been watching it for about 8 months now :P.

I'll have to check it out! Thanks :)

Thats awesome!

$67CAD. Likely the cheapest around. Please note the currency on the website.

Gearbest Free shipping, but you can upgrade to Expedited (which you will wish you did after the first week when it's not there).

It's a presale though so doesn't ship until November 30th or so.

Fasttech also has it for $49.27 USD similar in price but they charge USD so there may be extra charges for conversion depending on your bank/credit card. Straight conversion works out to around $65CAD. Also free shipping, also a presale expected to ship nov 30th.

Not recommending these but be aware of stuff like this http://www.gearbest.com/batteries/pp_192842.html

in the question section someone asks if they are samsung branded... the agent responds with these is 18650 Lithium-ion batteried not Samsung Brand.

whatever that means ... and that is direct verbatim

All the reviews say it's a well built good performing mod. I've held one in my hand and it felt amazing. I have the iPV4 which is a solid device for the money and very similar with the sx330 chip. Was thinking about getting a m class for my bday next month but there are so many TC options coming out now that the m class seems a bit limited. It's single 18650 and only 60w unless you use the extension tube. Price might also be an issue as you can get dual 18650 and double or higher watts at half the price. Here's just what GB has atm for temp control http://www.gearbest.com/electronic-cigarettes-c_11281/fdf12_temperature~control~mod/.

Sorry I know I'm not helping much, just wanted to help you weigh your options. Explained the same thing to a friend over the weekend and I believe I talked myself out of buying one.

I loved mine for about 2.5 months until the 510 pin crapped out on me. It was really excellent up until then. Ive tried to fix it but to no avail...

So I upgraded to the Cloupor Mini. its the same size, but hits up to 30 watts, has brass, adjustable 510, and removable battery (also something that was starting to go on the istick after only 2.5 months, the battery used to last me 3 days, it was down to 1-1.5)

Anyhow you can get it here for $29.99 free shipping with couponcode: cloupormini

edit: also I put a mamsung r25 in it so I have 2500mah vs 2200 in the istick. The Cloupor also fires down to 0.45 ohm, where the istick doesn't go lower than 1ohm.

I'd recommend the Cloupor Mini. With coupon code : cloupormini

Comes to $29.99USD, shipping is free but you can upgrade to 3-7day shipping for $4.

This is an intermediate device however its simple and has safety features. You will want to upgrade in a few weeks anyhow if you buy a "starter" kit.

You can buy the battery for this and any atomizer (I recommend the Nautilus Mini) at any local vape shop.

Yeah man, that's a hell of a malicious redirect infection you've got there. I know it sounds like a terrible option, but you should absolutely take the site down ASAP until this is fixed.

Your server is running a very outdated version of NGINX making it potentially quite vulnerable, and this could be why your devs said they fixed it yet it's still happening.

Here's some info on wordpress malicious redirect attacks that may be helpful for you. It's quite possible the infection is set to only maliciously redirect some of the time, and only on the first click by checking if the user already has a cookie set.

install RES makes link/table/liist formatting so you don't have to manually type it out and does a bunch of other stuff. basically any complain you have ever had about reddit, the reason they didn't fix it is everyone uses this. theres even a sub for it if you wanna learn the deep features like keyboard browsing.

/r/Enhancement

The images loaded really slow for me, and Googles PageSpeed backs me up on this. You should consider compressing them!

I’ve got a magnetic Qi charging thing in my car for my phone. So I bought these cables to plug that in and also put them on both my Caliburns. So if it gets low while out driving I can just pull the magnet off the phone charger and pop it on the vape to top it up. One next to my bed too far r the overnight charge. I’m living the dream of magnet based charging right now.

I'd suggest getting some Japanese organic cotton. Those are probably way overpriced. Something like this if you're ordering from Amazon. For ~$8 you'll have enough for quite some time.

As for the wicking, the bottom feed tanks like that can be a bit tricky. Not sure this works on the Avocado, try sticking a small allen wrench beside each wick into the tank to create an air space. Here is an example. He covers tanks of the general style.

Get a cheap scale accurate to 1/100g from Amazon (I use this) then use this online calculator http://tools.vaper.ninja/. Plug in your numbers remembering to set the pg and/or vg ratio of your nic and your final bottle size as it will affect weight. As long as you got your nic measured properly you could mix blindly although I do recommend to set your flavor percentages for note-keeping purposes so you can duplicate a flavor in the future should you actually like it. Myself, I try to keep my flavor concentrates about 10% of the total volume of my juice unless super concentrates are involved then I adjust accordingly.

​

Amazon UK sell them, I'm sure you can pick one up across the pond.

You can get a butt load on amazon. Use a hairdryer on them to get them to form to the shape of the battery. Edit: Last time I looked I got some super cheap, but all one colour, which is a pain when I use dual batteries as a rule and don't like mixing up my sets. The wraps also shipped from China and took like 2 months! I'm glad I saw your post as I ended up grabbing the multi-coloured set of 300 I linked you to. I'm pretty much set for life now!

Ultrasonic cleaners... thoughts anyone? Having a hard time finding anything sanely priced (non-industrial) in Canada, and shaky quality by reviews on anything importable... so far this one is the only one that has piqued my interest as it at least looks solidly made (but is missing things like a tray).

Yea, PG is PG. You're fine.

If you're worried buy from a pharmacy like Rexall (and some Shoppers) who will order 5gallons from their medical supplier for like $30 a jug.

Or even this - https://www.amazon.ca/Propylene-Glycol-Grade-Kosher-1Litre/dp/B072PT3FBW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1516127393&sr=8-3&keywords=propylene+glycol

Source: DIY ejuice maker.

thebrokevapor was already mentioned but I'd also pick up a scale - I personally use this one https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00EPO9M2Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 then bookmark this calculator http://tools.vaper.ninja/

It's much easier to mix with a scale than trying to fidget around with a syringe imo.

This is the scale I use.

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00EPO9M2Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Cheap, gets the job done.

EDIT: That scale was 15.99 when I got it 2 months ago. Seems to have doubled in price since then. Damn.

Basically like everyone else said get a scale, cleaning syringes after everytime you make juice just sucks, the American weigh scale LB 501 is most often reccomended for mixing juice, it's an awesome scale for diy juice purposes. Also if you need help getting started, drop by /r/DIY_eJuice, the sidebar has an awesome beginers guide that should answer most of your questions. You're also really gonna want a juice calculator to make sure you get proper nic/flavour/pg/vg ratios, the one I linked calculates in MLs, by weight and also by drops from your dropper bottes, though drops are not terribly accurate, it's good enough until you get a scale. Honestly don't even bother with syringes, they really are a pain.

Why not use something like this?

I suggest this cotton, MUCH cheaper than cotton marketed towards vapers, its just as good as the expensive stuff as i've been told.

http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B000TCD51A?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

Oh and somehow when I ordered it a few months back it got from Japan to Quebec in a week, probably just a fluke though, as some people are complaining about shipping times in the reviews.

I bought this scale It works good, but I have since seen people recommend this scale and it looks pretty solid.

Not really. You can buy it by the gallon in liquid form on amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/Polyethylene-Glycol-400-1-Gallon/dp/B009DMVMC6

or even from Vaping DIY suppliers in the UK

http://decadentvapours.com/shop/connoisseur-range/diluent/peg-400/

But I think you'd have to be half cracked to try it.

If you are from montreal you have Vaptronic on Joliette (not far from the metro station) that has the tobeco clones :)

If you are not from around here, talk to them I am sure they figure out a way to send it to you.

Also, if you need wire, they sell Lightning vapes wire at very affordable prices :D as for cotton, they cotton bacon and also some regular cotton pads. If you can wait, I highly suggest you to get this from amazon.

Exactly. Banning it inside vapeshops would be a bummer, not a 'vaping is going to die' bummer, but it would be just... a... bummer.

Now, vaping in a ventilated shop, or with an air-purifier in each corner, would be a breeze. Also, think about the time you couldn't even taste properly the juice you were thinking of buying because of that apple-cigar-honeydew-creamy-menthol-custard vapor that was suspended in the air... Yeah, that would also help business.

I use this for overnight or travelling. May be a little overdone for everyday use, but you can't beat the price nor quality.

http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Universal-Travel-Electronics-Accessories/dp/B002VPE1QG/

I'm definitely with everyone else on this. Hit up canadian tire or other local hardware shop, pickup a set of precision screwdrivers, a couple tweezers, some small pliers, flush wire cutters, scissors and then somewhere for some organic cotton. If you have an extra 8 bucks I'd suggest ordering this cotton from amazon also, just ordered my second bag, its been excellent for me. http://www.amazon.ca/Cotton-Labo-ORGANIC-200pc-japan/dp/B000TCD51A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1446604263&sr=8-1&keywords=puffs+cotton

I wouldn't suggest that scale as it only goes to 0.1 you really need at minimum a 0.01 scale to get a accuracy good enough for sub 100ml mixes. http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B005UGBG20?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01 thats the most common one you'll find recommend at /r/DIY_eJuice and what I personally use. Any 0.01 scale will work, this one just has a incredibly long auto off on battery and no auto off on AC power.

It's not scented. But I like these unbleached ones way better.

It's far thicker than Shiseido so I don't have to roll it. I feel that it wicks faster too.

I got some of this stuff with an amazon order, pretty happy with it.

http://www.amazon.ca/Cotton-Labo-ORGANIC-200pc-japan/dp/B000TCD51A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422062885&sr=8-1&keywords=japanese+cotton

If you used Android. Package Buddy is fantastic app as it lets you select originating and delivering carriers. I use it for tracking USPS and it is quite effective.

I used to until I started using the Deliveries Android app. I have it set to update every 5 minutes and if there's a change I get a notification on my phone. You can still manually refresh it and it makes it easier to see the status of all your pending deliveries at once.

There may be a better app and I'm not sure if this one works on ios but so far I haven't had any issues with it.
