Questions for different smoking habits

[ZambucaLu]

OK, I'll take a stab at this.

If you want a small cigarette looking device, there are super minis or peewees. I hear they produce great vapor but they are a pain to maintain because they have a smaller cartridge that constantly needs topping off/filling....and smaller batteries that need frequent charging.

The next sizes up would be the mini 901 or penstyle 801. Both seem to produce fair amounts of vapor....I wouldn't say anything spectacular like something bigger, but sufficient. Because the 901 is smaller than the 801, it will generally require more maintenance as mentioned above.

You might be more interested in the cigar or pipe. Both apparently produce more vapor than the ecigs but use a different type of battery. Some will swear by the cigar as something they use when they relax rather than an all day thing. There are reviews on both of these all over the place here...you'll have to do a search.

I personally wouldn't recommend the screwdriver as that seems to be more for heavy smokers, which it doesn't sound like you are.

Also, there is a new EVO brand (that I don't know much about) but the users here say it has a pretty good battery life and vapor for a smaller ecig. Again, if you do a search on some of these, you'll get a lot more information than what I am providing here.

Good luck!

What is the upkeep of the atomizer? From what I am reading it seems they can go bad, get clogged, etc. Is their a cleaning process to keep them good? Is this one of the big upkeeps on e-cigs or is it mainly the carts/juice refills?

whatever you vape,
where ever you vape,

always practice good old fashioned common curtesy
and good manners,

always ask first,
always respect the owner of the premises,
abide by what he/she dictates.

this way we will not antagonize people with our new practice,

those who force their I'm allowed,
you can't ban me,
mentality on others,
will only cause those in control to fight back harder.

BE NICE, BE POLITE, BE CONSIDERATE, BE DISCRETE.

We want them to like us, and accept us,
not to hate our arrogant guts.

by practising this philosophy,
I have never been refused yet.

AMEN, dikerry.

If it weren't for shipping costs, ironically, the disposable LoongTotem would be his perfect choice. He wouldn't use up carts fast and the costs aren't extravagant once you get them to the States. Massive, massive vapor from the ones I've tried. Nothing else comes close. I know. I know. So name me a brand without problems ....

Di, you have hit the nail on the head,
Just because you can, doesn't always mean you should,
I have always been a considerate smoker in the past , so I will continue the trend and be a considerate vaper .... do what you will in your own place , respect the rights of others to dictate what you do in theirs... it doesn't hurt politely asking first rather than just assuming its ok... common decency?


edit -- ooh and my 100th post --- man i gab on don't I????

I guess us old buggers still have some good stuff to contribute,

I really enjoy this forum with all the varied opinions from around the world.

laugh for you trumpy,
many years ago, I rang elders bloke ( stock agent )
to ask a lamb related problem,
he asked, how many sheep do you have madam ?
I replied, 6,
he replied in a very condesending voice,
and what are their names !!!!!
the funny thing of it was, I could have told him.!!!
lambchop, bar-b-q, etc.....

I also have always been a considerate smoker and the smoking ban still came. Like Australia, the rest of the world's governments will ban e-vaping for the taxs. the more you vape in public, the more people will ask what it is and the more people will pick up e-vaping, the more people will be on our side when the e-liquid ban comes around.

You're right about the image. To some anti-smoking extremists, "smoking is smoking". I was talking with someone at our apartment building about this, as they had never tried e-cigarettes before. My next door neighbor wandered over and, after a couple of minutes, commented that "smoking is smoking!", and walked away. Rude, much?

I don't smoke the e-cigarette in any public place where actual smoking is not allowed for that reason. I may keep it with me for a quick vape in the bathroom, tho! As the e-cigarette gains in popularity, I'm hoping that general attitudes change, but it may take quite some time for that to happen. Until then, I will vape in private... Hehe. Now THAT sounds pretty wierd...

I would've told your neighbor, "And ******** are ********, ********!" (Feel free to fill in the blanks with your favorite word.)
