501 just got here, a few questions.

[Rainbowz]

I have read here on the forum that you can rinse it in 100 proof vodka, or rubbing alcohol, then rinse again in hot tap water then blow it out then let it air dry overnight or dry it faster with a blow dryer.

Also, have you blown out the atty with your mouth yet?

[Saitek]

Yea I sure did. Until I was almost lightheaded! I suppose I'll have to rinse it in something fairly strong to get rid of the taste. It's still there in a new battery and atty. Seeping down into the cart I should change that too. But I think I've started an endless cycle of it contaminating the new pieces I put on one by one so it will forever be with me. Fml.

[Wireguy]

Just for future reference. I keep 3 attys minimum going at all times. One for tobacco, one for menthol or atomic fireball and one for other flavors like the really sweet/fruity. It's a lot easier to change similar flavors without doing anything more than blowing out the atty if even that.

It does sound like you have cross contaminated all your stuff. Your grape will eventually go away.

[Saitek]

I feared as much. But that makes a lot of sense. Sounds like I need to get a few more attys, should have to begin with but I wanted to see if the 510 was really as awesome as most people say. It hasn't been unsatisfying yet outside of user error. So I may invest more heavily into it.

[Wireguy]

I did the same thing. I wasn't about to invest a bunch of money until I was sure.

[Saitek]

I think I can taste it going away, thankfully. It really was an overpowering taste. I hope other flavors aren't so prominent(This is also me shamelessly raising post count.) Also I really didn't think I'd enjoy a PV that wasn't colored/shaped like a normal cigarette but, I have really grown to like the way they all look because they're different. Plus my old unit just reminded me of analogs alllll the time. I killed the cravings with a puff or two but still. Always on my mind. With these all I think about is drag drag .... attys hot give it a few. But I want to keep puffing lol. I may blow out these attys for that reason prematurely heh. Hopefully not!

Can someone please explain to me the differences between VG and PG? You guys are killing me with all the lingo. There are newbies here too remember and this is a newbie thread to boot.

Vegetable Glycerin is used a lot in baking, making candy, and now for us to use in our vaping. They say it is sweeter than PG and makes more vapor, and I agree with both claims. VG is also a little healthier then Propelyne Glycol. Propelyne Glycol is used a lot in smoke/fog machines. A lot of vendors are moving to VG from PG, but some say that VG is too thick and can clog an atty. I'm still a newb, but that's the gist of it from what I know.

[deftdrummer1]

Thanks so much. Hard to believe us noobs couldn't figure that out on our own huh?! So where can I find some Vegetable Glycerine based liquid?

[Rainbowz]

You can find VG at Walmart under the label of HUMCO. Costs about 2 bucks and you can find it most likely in the skin moisturizer section near the pharmacy.

BTW, if you see a dotted line under a word or abbreviation, hover over it with your mouse to see the full name.
