err, I hate to be a douche but can you help me understand all this. I'm a noob with this shit and this thread and links aren't making much sense to me. I've heard friends talk about this shit with bho but I'm just interested in a cigarette alternative but don't know/comprehend where to start with your examples.
So I buy a "mod" and then get some type of nicotine oil to smoke. Or do I buy a "mod" and attach some other shit??! (One comment was about "building your own coils") Don't mean to be lazy by not researching but perhaps you can write a few sentences to help me out here.

Ok! I'd be glad to! This shit is confusing as hell. I agree.
Theres two things you are talking about here.
1. BHO (and other concentrates) refer to weed in a wax or oil form. Depending on where you live availability of this will vary. Im in the Chicago and I find alot of dealers now can get wax or oil. Beware of the kits they are just cheap (ego style) ecigs in disguise. I can explain this more if you like.2. e-juice! This is what most ppl do. They buy a cheap small cigarette one. This sucks because the batteries dont last and the flavor is shit. Then they get an ego style battery and tank (usually sold in kits) This is a good way to start. But if your like me you just want the best experience out there. Thats mods. I didnt quit smoking i just found something better.
Mods are literally lithium ion battery holders. They call them "mods" because the first ones were made by someone modding a flashlight.
The mods to go with are "mechanical" because they are the simplest. No LCD screen bullshit. Theres literally nothing between the battery and the coil. Theres different size batteries too. 18350 is the most common small size battery. Personally i think any bigger and it starts to look like a dildo.
So this is what you need to start vaping with mods.
1. A mod.
2. An atomizer/tank.The tanks are confusing as hell. Theres a few types. Some of them leak if you don't keep your mod standing upright.
The easiest is a the Kanger Pro Tank2 it uses atomizers that you replace ( about $3 each) You probably would want to replace them about once a month. Mainly to try other flavors. But sometimes because they burn out.Then theres rebuildables. They call them this because you re-build the atomizers with wick and wire to get low ohms. Kids prefer low ohms because it gets hotter which means more "throat hit" like a cigarette. My experience is 1.8 ohms is the sweetspot for a 18350 battery mechanical mod. Any lower and the battery wont last as long and may be dangerous too. And too hot of a vapor makes my throat hurt.
Theres different types of rebuildables too!
Dripping. This type you literally have to drip a few drops on the atomizer to vape. This is nice because the tanks are small and you know when to stop. It supposedly wont leak because its only a few drops at a time.
Top feed tanks (genesis style)- These suck cuz most of them leak and they depend of the wicks working against gravity to pull up the juice to the atomizer.
Bottom feed tanks. I have the kayfun lite and the Terminator tanks. Both dont leak.Any questions? I should just make a website.
- is it just me or does "Kanger" remind you of "cancer"?sine

OH and i forgot about e-juice!
1. Forget about tobacco flavored. They never taste like cigs. More like perfumey pipe tobacco. Me and my friends have been liking Strawberry, Grape, and something called swampwater. Its weird but the fruit ones usually hit the spot.
2. There are two things to know about juice. Theres "PG/VG" and the nic level. PG/VG refers to the ratio of PG (propylene glycol), VG (vegetable glycerin). The kids say the PG gets you the throat hit. and VG is the amount of vapor. Start with 50/50 thats the most common. My co worker had his throat hurt after a weekend of drinking and vaping. So he switched to an all natural 100% VG vendor. Now hes happy.
3. Nic Level. Most people start with insanely high nic levels. Im gonna tell you this is dumb. You absorb most of it through your mouth and throat. So there is a delay. Its not as instant as a cigarette. (Its about a minute or two.) Alot of people will get headaches or dizzy because they "over nic" themselves. See the difference is with a mod you can easily do this because you can smoke this for hours on end before you know it your fucked. Start with 6ml nic. Go up from there. I started at 6 and have been happy. And I was smoking a pack a day.
4. Lastly, DRINK WATER. This is water vapor you are inhaling. For some reason it drys your mouth. Its not noticeable or anything but some people say they got sores and shit. I vape all day and barely drink water and I never had much problems. But when i started drinking water i noticed my mouth just felt better. Now i just drink alot of water cuz im worried and its just good for me.
I have been happy with buying from these places.

SIDENOTE!
I found a guy that sells Fusion Osmosis prefilled tankomizers. Filled with what I think is Weed ejuice.They try to make you buy their $250 pens. But its just a standard "510" connection the same as the equipment I mentioned above. I screwed it on my mod and Im TOTALLY happy. The next step is to figure out how to make this juice myself. Theres alot of stoner blogs about making this "weed ejuice". Im just filtering through all the miss information out there. But ima figure this shit out!
- you smoked it but you're not sure it's weed ejuice?scarabin
- i know its weed just not sure what form. Its disposable cartridges so i didnt want to open it up and ruin it.err

friend of mine went from 1.5 packs of cig's a day to zero using the ecig.... love them.
what about making THC liquid? anyone done it? how?
- fresnobob0
Weed "juice" is just hash oil. The most common way of making it is, more or less, putting some herb in an airtight container and shooting butane through it. Then you have to try get as much butane out as you can, otherwise you're smoking that shit...
Its kind of dangerous because dudes like to try and boil the butane out, let it get too hot, and end up blowing up their garage in the process.
- People start small fires because they are dumb and do this process indoors. You are suppose to do it outside or in a well ventilated environment.err

You are describing BHO. You can't smoke those with just any cartomizer. Weed oil is thicker than juice. You have to use something that gets hotter than the stuff we use for ejuice.
The stuff I use is glycerin infused with weed.
Here is a breakdown of different types of pens.

i'm abandoning the other thread. too many posts about how you suck because you smoke or whatever and not enough info on mods.
i just discovered this subreddit, learned a lot there over the last hour or so http://www.reddit.com/r/electron…

i came up with an easy method of vaping THC with these things last night. don't bother getting a special weed one or buying weird attachments.
take any 0 nic ejuice (my ecig shop gives bottles away free for leaving yelp reviews and shit) and mix it together with any good pot tincture. i make my tincture by dissolving hash in everclear while in a heat bath, or by grinding flowers fine and macerating them in everclear for a week or two. my ratio was around 50/50 but yours will depend on how strong your tincture is. once they are well mixed, pour it into a glass dish and hit it with a hair dryer until it reduces to something closer to the original viscosity of the ejuice. now just transfer that to a dropper bottle and drip into your device.
easy as shit. gets you high with no smell or anything
