Ha! Yeah, I arrived the day they got it in apparently. Since then I've read about how VG is meant to be an "atomizer killer?" I haven't noticed this.

I just bought some from the Safeway pharmacy (7th and Cabrillo) but had to wait a couple days and it was $17 for 473mL. It would be cheaper to get on-line.

And you cut your e-liquid with it? Or do you make your own flavors?

Half of the "head shops" on Haight sell 401's or the "puresmoke" starter kit. Most of the tobacco/pipe shops on Mission St sell the same thing but cheaper.

Yes. Since writing this I've noticed a lot of "head" shops and tobacco shops selling $45 starter kits for different types of electronic cigarettes. Haven't seen the 401 anywhere, just "Smoking Everywhere" type all in one things.

Do any of the shops you've found sell liquid or carts?

Both kind of, I bought some Lorann's but haven't messed around with them much. Just bought another bottle of "Glycerin USP". It's Sunmark brand. The Rexall at 9th and Irving has a 6oz bottle for $6.89. I usually carry my flavors in 3 mL dropper bottles and mix my cart throughout the day. Add couple drops of 48mg if I'm craving a cigarette or a few drops of pure PG if I'm just bored and vaping.

Pager City/smoke shop on 16th and Mission has 401 "e-cigarette" (white/brown or black with gold swirl) for $40 and refill carts are $5 for a pack of 5. That's the best price I've found. I haven't seen any stores selling refill liquid. They don't seem to know too much about the e-cigs.

Hey All, another San Francisco newbie reporting in.

I live in Bernal Heights. Vaping a 510. I'd love to do a meet & greet.

That's interesting news; I'll have to wander down there and check that out.

Hey, great, Esteband! I didn't notice in your PM that you were in SF.

Anyone else interested? If we can build this into a real event, and not just two or three of us having a beer, I bet I could arrange for door prizes and samples to share, and other swag.

[esteband]

I would like to gather a posse to bring with me, but I don't know anybody who uses these things (yet).

But I'm so happy I found this stuff that I'm trying to convert everyone I know. It's actually hard not to talk about it with strangers, too. I'm becoming a total evangelist!

Anyway, when and if another meet and greet happens, I'm there - along with anyone I can convert in the meantime.
