You might want to add to 9: Vermont Vapor - The Smoking Alternative At Vermont Vapor, all the liquid we sell is mixed entirely by us - we start with 100% pure food grade glycerine and add distilled water, nicotine (over 99% pure), and citric acid to balance the ph.

To this base we add only food grade flavorings - well, with the exception of our tobacco flavoring. That we make ourselves from ground tobacco leaves... and most people wouldn't want to add those to food.

Done. If anyone has any other good, informative links to add, just let me know!

Atomizer Cleaning

There are many other methods that may work better than what is listed above.
But the jury is still out, as with all things electronic cigarette related.

So you should add these as well...

Maybe this should be moved to the New Members forum and stickied?

Yeah, I just listed the most commonly used methods, but I just added your recommendations to the list, too. I knew someone would have more options to add. Thanks!

kristin · 09-28-2009, 11:25 PM

And I'll take any link suggestions if people know of better threads to answer the questions!

Atomizer Cleaning

What you're doing here is great, and I'm glad to see my thead included in the overview section!!

But I think I would split the above topic into two sections...
1) Cartridge/wicking performance
2) Atomizer cleaning

And then I would add the following link for atomizer cleaning...
The “Cola” Method Taken to Another Level That Works

I realize that there are probably many other good links, using many other methods.
But this is a classic, and it has worked well for me so far.

I give my atomizers a Coke bath once or twice per week.
I have not had one die yet, and have not noticed any decrease in performance.

Going on almost three months now!!

But, up to you, it's your thread, and every little bit helps no matter what.

I think that's a good one, too! I'll add it.

I think I put the cleaning in that section because a newb would be wondering why they had poor taste or vapor production and wouldn't know that cleaning is one of the options to help with that? I'll add a divider to it regarding cleaning.
