Your ecig battery will draw what it needs, the wall adapter does not push power to the battery.
As long as your battery isn't trying to pull 2 amps of power through a wall wart that has a lower rating you'll be fine.
I use a 2 amp wall wart when charging my battery that charges at 1 amp. There is less heat build up.
Just ensure there is no excessive heat build up the first few times/occasionally. Cheers.
What makes an exceptional athlete? Genetics, physical well being, diet, strength, stamina, sacrifice, dedication and hard work.
many of us here are all to ready to tell of our breathing improvement, and health benefits we have discovered coming off of, for many of us, a whole bunch of years of destructive physical impact from smoking. Yeah, vaping is great, I can breath so much better now! But what is not common and a totally unknown variable, is what if any, negative consequences might arise from inhaling vapor products to a never smokers lungs. Sure bet it is a boatload safer than smoking, but 100% non impact upon physical lung health? Nobody can answer that. We vapers are the guinea pigs in the experiment...
Thinking more on this, what is really needed are numbers of never smokers to take up vaping, and have their health monitored for many years, to prove or disprove any concerns.

Starting Part two. Thank you to those who reminded me we were getting full
A few hundred dollars? Three liters of nic. Heartland is a good source, and reasonably priced. A bunch of rebuildable tanks. Get replacement glasses for them. Can't suggest which as I have no idea how you vape, low power MTL, or DL, cloud chasing.Several regulated mods in the affordable category like the Pico. One more that can take a larger tank. Get one or two mech mods for longevity. Maybe a 521 tab to build your coils on, check their resistance and burn the coil in (not a necessity, but a luxury while you can).
Everything else, from PG, VG, and flavors will be around. Same goes for wire, wick material, batteries, o rings, tweezers, scissors, unicorn bottles, syringes, literally everything else will all be around.
That's it. Remember, without the nic, the rest won't matter.

Would anyone be so kind as to tell me what these are?
I am going to preface this with.....I had intended to start a new thread on the anniversary date. The post was written and ready to go, but I was in Florida, unable to post it from there, so.....I'm going ahead with it now...a bit late, but before we're into another month......
I have chosen to start a new thread....
To commemorate the 4th Anniversary date of April 21, 2012, when Txtumbleweed started us down the road to the Back Porch with the first thread......
With hopes that it will continue on for many more years to come...

............
To the sixth incarnation of the Back Porch
For those who weren't fortunate enough to know him, Txtumbleweed was a friend, mentor and great story teller. A person who cared that we older folks had a comfortable place to ask questions, share knowledge, and our vaping journey. When that first thread was moved to the lounge because of too much chit chat and off topic posts......he started the Front and Back Porches, and guided those threads with a gentle hand.
The Front Porch, where posts were to be kept to vaping subjects, so as to keep it in the general discussion area of the forum, where new members to ECF could easily find it. The Back Porch is where we can all hang out, share our stories, pics, music, jokes, important life events, be they happy or sad. Just about any topic......within reason .... can be discussed here
And if you wish to just keep it to vaping......please join in on The Front Porch
Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Four
We've got a new Back Porch.....so pull out those chairs, rockers, recliners, put your feet up and enjoy. There is no age limit, no ID check....Many have come and gone, but all are WELCOME....and we hope you stay and sit a spell
I wish to thank Mike for continuing this Porch that has become a home to many of us...and recently handing me the reins to carry it forward........which I will do for as long as I'm able.Older People 55 and Up - precursor to Back Porch

I am going to recommend the Smoant Knight V1. This little mod is a tank. It is a side by side so it protects the tank, it is very weighty but fits nice in the pocket. I have 2 of them and dropped the mod a ton and it still works like it is new.
You can get the mod only or the kit that comes with a tank. The Tank is okay, but it takes Kanger subtank coils & the RBA so you can get them pretty much anywhere. You can get the mod only for $40 and the kit for about $52.
The Tank, even though it takes Subtank coils, is not as good as the Subtank. I like this mod paired with a Top Tank and that is what I would recommend. You can get the Coils for it, or pick up multiple RDA Heads (Cheaper than the Coils if you use Fastteck) and rebuild them all for the road.
Here is a pic of one setup with a subtank (Left) and one setup with the kit tank (Right)

I am using a Evic VTC Mini. I just made a 6-6.9ohm SS316L coil for an Ubertoot clone tank. I went to set up for TC, Its is on TempSS316 mode, 250F and for some reason it is asking me for POWER? I set the power to different settings and i am having a strange thing happen. Instead of the power fluctuating, The TEMP is fluctuating from a setting of 250F and it goes down to 75F and goes up to 120F.
This is totally wrong for TC. What might be wrong? Is it suppose to do this in TC mode? Usually alls i ever have to do for TC is set the type of wire, the temp and lock in the oms of the mods coil and it will fluctuate the power that is usually just auto set by the mod. Is something wrong with my mod? Could it be the wire? I have no clue.
Could it be that the Ubertoot clone i am using is not for TC?
I just received several of the Coppervape Kayfun 5 clones, cleaned a couple (they seemed to be pretty clean but I clean everything new) and put in a 8 wrap 26 Gauge Temco Grade 1 titanium coil (0.38 ohms) and Koh Gen Do wick. I don't need a lot of power (14 watts)/420F on a DNA 200 to get the vape I want.
Building this thing is soooo easy!
I'm a switch hitter between mouth-to-lung and restricted lung vapes. One hole open is great for either for me. Other folks might like a slightly tighter MTL vape but for me this is perfect.
The only thing I have changed is the drip tip because I prefer a slightly smaller diameter Teflon tip.
I'm IMPRESSED.
I have had other Coppervape clones and all have been top quality so I figured why not go with past success. I'm glad I did. I can't imagine a higher quality clone.
These were purchased directly through Coppervape/Alibaba but in the past DHgate was the source of my Coppervape clone attys. I don't think DHgate has them listed yet but they likely will pretty soon if their past is a guide.
I'll likely get an original for comparison but I can't imagine anything higher quality with the exception of teflon coated O rings if Svoe Mesto follows the same path they used with the KFL mini v3.

Hi folks. In case you haven’t heard, another one of the great original innovators in our industry, Ikenvape, has closed their doors for the last time.
We (@Katdarling, myself and a few others) thought it would be a great tribute to him and his contributions to our industry and our lives, to start this thread for all friends, “family”, and any and all to pay tribute and remember one of the great vendors of our industry. And we’ll throw in a lot of friendly chit chat and fun along the way!
Many nowadays may not remember the awesome cartomizers and ("old style" 
HE is one of the key people that made this vaping thing work for many of us and probably saved countless lives! (Definitely mine! He kept sending me cartos until we found what worked (Fusion!). And he never gave up trying to get me to get the good ‘ol Io6 to work for me. But, I just couldn’t make it happen. Lol!)
Please join us with your memories of how he helped, was there when in need, always went to extremes to help… and just general chit chat among friends and fun!!!
We love you Isaac and Val!!! You will always be in our hearts and prayers. (And we hope you pop in here and join the fun as well!!!
This thread will hopefully be a continuation of this great thread of the Ikenvape family, friends and anybody else that wanted to join in. ALL are welcome and urged to join the fun. There are some GREAT people in this group!
Ikenvapers Chat (the door is open for EVERYBODY! Come on in.)
With the legendary Cloupor thread finally breaking the 100k post threshold (and creating a delightful piece of ECF history), perhaps the time has come for a new home - a lurvely lounge space for the congregation of Krewe Nuage ex-patriates to continue the hijinks, hilarity and endearingly randomized discussions of kawfee beanz, diy juice, TC related mayhem, coil building in general, strange memes and all manner of community shenaniganating...
Just a thought
The door is open - grab some java and a vape... and tell us how it makes you feel
and Happy Mardi Gras, y'all!
L'aissez les bon temps roulet, cher!
Hey ECFers! The last thread closed because we got past to the limit of posts. Let's keep going with this contest =)
Big thank you to Reddhott for helping us run these contests for you guys. Isn't she awesome?
Redd is going to post soon with the rules for the new contest, stay tuned! =)

ATTENTION! THIS WILL BE THE LAST MONTHLY GIVEAWAY CONTEST THAT WE RUN. THE FDA IS BANNING FREE SAMPLES AND GIVEAWAYS. THERE IS NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT AT THIS TIME THAN STICKING TOGETHER AS A VAPE COMMUNITY AND STAYING UNITED FOR VAPE ADVOCACY. WE MUST FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHT TO VAPE AND CONTINUE TO LEAD HEALTHY LIVES. WHETHER YOU ARE A SHOP OWNER, MANUFACTURER, OR CONSUMER, WE MUST ALL DO OUR PART. CONTACT YOUR STATE AND NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO SUPPORT BOTH HR 2058 AND THE COLE-BISHOP AMENDMENT. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE AND VAPE ON!!!
I have a T18, well several, because I love this simple set up. If you draw or puff too many times close together it will flash, but as mentioned yellow means low on charge. Glad the new coil is working just be sure you let it set a good 15 min before taking a puff. I also find it works best with higher PG ratios, like 60-70 PG, even 50-50 PG/VG and it wicks too slow for me and will give a dry hit/burnt taste. I am going on the 7th week for my coils now, love this set up

First thread was kinda clunky, starting fresh and hopefully more bandwidth friendly.
I will list the mods I can forge plastic for as they become available.
So far here are models available and prices.
Payment will have to be through PayPal, or send a money order. PM for all that.
iStick 30w $30.00 (clip only)
iStick 50W $40.00
Vapor Shark rDNA 40 with Shark Skin $40.00
Vapor Flask DNA 40 $40.00
REO Grand $40.00
Billet Box $40.00
Shipping: USPS first class is $3.00 and Priority I will do for $6.00
(US only, PM for shipping estimates to another country)
These are made from a material called kydex, it is a thermoformable plastic used in various applications including knife sheaths and handgun holsters.
I have been working with this material for several years and have a one-man shop providing hand formed custom products.
Custom cases for other mods are possible, but I may require the mod for fitting purposes.
PM me about what you want and I will try to work something out.
I can do faux carbon fiber, many different colors, and different camos and prints. I can also do molle attachments or other types of belt attachments.
Heck if you want a double thigh rig for your custom competition cloud blowers with battery slots I can do it
I will try to keep the imgur gallery updated, all the info (except for pricing) is on there with the pics.
I agree with Leo Bak. I smoked for over 30 years. I had developed a terrible cough, and would get chronic bronchitis once a year which would last 3 - 4 months. Since I quit smoking and began vaping the cough and illness disappeared. I have more energy, my sense of smell and taste have returned. I can actually smell the rain now, which I hadn't smelled in over 20 years. A wonderful revelation!
I started around 18mg, and after 4 years I'm down to 3 mg nicotine. I'm pretty sure I could go nicotine free now, but I still like a little nic in my vape. 
Current attys in stock and or on the way:
Stumpy: Now with Ultem Chuff tip

Tell me this isn't a lot better than all the lists..... Imagine the LBC list with all the color options as a list. Nightmare...
Alright, just got a pretty black Aspire Nautilus X today! I'm only on my 2nd tank but thought I'd post some pics and early impressions. It looks very nice and it's very compact. It does remind me of a mini Cleito. I put it on my UD Balrog, but the Nautilus X would also look great on small mods like the Pico, Mini Volt etc. It was very clean, no machine oil, quality is very nice, fittings and threads are butter smooth. The drip tip isn't standard and isn't removable, but it does have a removable Delrin sleeve. The Delrin sleeve fits snug and looks good.
Top cap comes off easily to fill, filling is a breeze. The air control is a thin ring on the top cap, not too loose, not too tight, turns very smooth and the air slot is at the base of the drip tip. This is a true MTL tank, the afc can be turned to get a very restricted draw, but even fully open gives a smooth MTL draw. So far the flavor has been really good. I'll post again after I've vaped on it a little more on it. So far, I'm really liking this Nautilus X!
OK, I wanna know who changed the local PBS station's schedule. 
Oh yeah, thanks for the new family room Yimmie!
