NEW IN THE QUEUE – 5/28/15 – THE BILLOW 2 BY EHPRO
The new Billow 2 is now available. She’s a dual coil RTA and a joint collaboration between Eciggity and EHPro.
We have revamped the Billow v1 with new and improved features; introducing the Billow v2! The glass section now measures 23mm in diameter (we wanted to keep the 5ml e-liquid capacity and made it shorter than the Billow v1), but the base and the top cap of the Billow v2 are still 22mm in diameter allowing it to still sit flush on all of your 22mm mods!

- Rebuild and make adjustments to your wick and coils without dumping out your juice
- Deck is designed with cotton grooves for convenient wick placement
- No more screws to fill juice or adjust airflow

NEW IN THE QUEUE – 5/27/15 – THE ADT 50W BY ARCTIC DOLPHIN
She’s a fingerprint magnet and much of the basic design looks borrowed from Vaporshark, but luckily skins are available.
The ADT 50W is a box mod that designed by Arctic Dolphin, in zinc-alloy with gloss finish. The PCB is made by themselves with USA imported chip and parts. The unique thing about the ADT 50 chip is that it allows you to set the temperature that is the highest you want to vape on, it means that you will never burn your coil when the juice is low. Also it is the only one on the market currently that will automatically check temperature 1000 times/sec to keep it accurate and prevent the coil short-circuited. It is capable of running coils between 0.06ohm to 2.5ohm, uses a separate 18650 battery (not included), charged via the included micro-USB (passthrough, can be used while charging), has a spring-loaded pin and protection against short circuit and wont fire if battery is inserted the wrong way. The display shows ohms, watts, volts and set maximum temperature.*NOTE: Temperature control function will only work with nickel wire coils.
The Specs:
- Real time constant temperature control
- Gold plated, spring loaded center pin
- Micro-USB charge port
- Magnetic battery door
- Cast zinc-aluminum body
- Available in gold, copper, silver, and black

Dry-burning metal coils: is it a good thing? – By Dr Farsalinos and Pedro Carvalho
In a recent interview on RY4 Radio, Dr. Farsalinos discussed issues with dry burning coils.
This caused an influx of emails to my inbox.
Remember folks… there is an important reason why all of my videos start off with “Use these products at your own risk” because there ARE risks involved. We know a lot but we’re still learning more every day. When issues are found, we need to listen, adjust, fix, or choose to accept the risk. Over-reacting and panicking doesn’t help anyone. Also, condemning the information presented and those presenting it because it doesn’t match with your style of vaping isn’t helping either, especially when the information comes from those who support us. We need the information… good or bad… then it’s up to you to decide what to do with it.
I’ve stated several times that the safest way to vape is to not vape at all, but don’t smoke either!!
There are many people who want to vape as safely as possible. These people may not want to dry burn their coil based on the information presented. Some people are willing to accept the risk.
I personally don’t want any issues with vaping to be hidden. I want to know the risks involved so I can make educated choices on how I vape. More research in the materials we use on a day to day basis is needed.
I asked Dr. F. about the information presented in the interview and he wrote a blog response. You can read it HERE.

Hello Phil, me again.
I watched your video again this week (just like a tv show). I go every week to your website to see if you have made another one. And believe me, I enjoy every second of what you do and the way you do it. Now, my daughter (she does not smoke) want to follow you every week too.
I do not know where you get your power and strength to do all you do but you impress me.
Keep doing what you do. I am learning more and more every time…and still away from tobacco cigarette. I do not remember if I told you but I smoked during 40 years until I watched one of your video (the one that you take a cigarette in your mouth to remember the feeling) and quit right after.
Again congrat about what you do and please, please, continue doing it.
PS: I also see Lamborghini when I vape my Kangertech mini

Want to thank you for your no nonsense Website and videos like the comedy aswell. Last year in the first part of September I had a heart attack and bypass at age 38 I was a smoker and pipe smoker from age 19. The worst part of the whole thing was I had to quit smoking something I really loved. When I was in hospital my sister gave me a little pen vaporizer. This was a god send. I tend to research things a lot and your website was just what the doctor ordered. It also kept me laughing in the hospital bed. Know you probably get these things all the time but as alway had to drop my two puffs. oh and glad to see you make it up to my country Canada even if it was at the other end. I am an ex smoker cheers
