I'm not QUITE a medical professional yet. I'm finishing my externship at a large and busy downtown clinic. I am a LOT more grateful for my e-cigs now. I haven't seen any employees smoking since I started 6 weeks ago. While I don't think there's an explicit smoke-free employee policy, smoking...
Ah yes... the elusive Mountain Dew flavor. With some help from other forum members, we'd had a thread going on the juice recipes forum. I checked, and the thread is still there, but it's gone WAY off-topic. I'd dropped the Mt. Dew flavor for a bit. It's good stuff, but circumstances made...
Wow.. just looking over the previous recipe I posted for clove juice. I don't think it could get much more complicated than that. 8-o I experimented and came up with a MUCH simpler way to mix the stuff. The only variables are adjusting the VG and the unflavored base to get the strength you...
7 weeks, and absolutely no desire to go back to analogs. It's been 13 months since I started e-cigs. Heh.. it only took me 11 months to finally drop the analogs. :oops: I've become a lot more open about vaping in public, though I still keep it hidden some places. And the bathroom makes a...
Meh.. my one-year subscription as a supporting member is about to run out.. and I can't afford to renew. Hopefully after graduation and getting a full-time job I can do so again. This site has been (and continues to be) extremely informative about all things e-ciggy. I'm very grateful that...
This is more for my reference. It's based off this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/experiments-equipment/35917-sattecs-atty-cleaning-test-thread.html and various other threads suggesting using denture cleaner tabs. Blow out the dirty atties. Put atties in a small glass and...
Here in Utah, per-pack cigarette tax will be going up 2 or 3 bucks starting July 1. It was the final motivation I needed to make the total switch to e-cigs. I'm discovering how much I now hate the taste of analogs, and the thought of smoking one makes me go "ew". It also convinced my sweetie...
... so much better than smoking. I get the nicotine fix without adding to the sore throat (or inhaling the poisons that seem to make the illness last longer). It's lovely to not be jonesing for nicotine while I'm sick. I remember one time my husband was smoking while he had bronchitis (yep...
This was something I blended today - wanted to try a couple of flavors by themselves that seemed to work well together with other flavors in other recipes. At the last minute I decided to put in a drop of lavender oil. Wow. All three flavors come through nicely, starting with an initial...
....and the winner is.... the 401. It has much longer battery life. MUCH MUCH longer. I don't need my portable charger because the battery life is 3-4 times longer with the 401, and only need to take a spare battery or two. I like dipping. The taste is cleaner, it's faster to work with...
Hi, my name is Ariel and I'm *still* addicted to cigarettes. :oops: *sigh* Yep, much more stress added to my life. When I'm not so stressed, the e-cigs are great. I love the different tastes. I love the way my health gets better. I love being able to vape inside. But yeah, the last month...
Another recent post to the DIY e-juice forum, again for my reference. 2.50 ml 48 mg unflavored PG 0.25 ml key lime (Loranns) 0.50 ml strawberry (Loranns) 0.10 ml lemon oil (Loranns) 0.30 ml Everclear 1.35 ml VG for 5 ml of 24 mg juice. I may tweak it a bit later when I pick up some orange...
This is something I originally posted to the DIY e-juice forum, but have modified from the original post to take into account various juice strengths, and posted here for my personal reference: Note: The oil doesn't burn out the atty. It DOES stick around a bit, but can be vaped out. Add to...
I do believe I've had my first atomizer death. Not sure how it happened. :confused: No vapor, no throat hit, like the battery was dying. So, switched the battery. Still nothing. Switched the cartridge. STILL nothing. :( THEN I put in a different atty, and got lovely expected...
Where I've been finding my supplies so far: Cart mods: Straws: Swisspers. I got mine at Walmart in a color to match my e-cig. (link provided for visual reference only) Teabags: Teeli flip filters. Purchased these at the gourmet cooking store nearby. A bit pricey, but the quality makes...
I like the idea of using a straw in my cart. It makes a lot of sense. However, I DON'T like the idea of using poly-fill in my cart. It tends to get caught on the atty arch, it tastes weird, it's a pain stuffing it in the cart. Oh yeah, and the idea of that stuff MELTING and VAPING...
Yeah, that 555 Menthol stuff . Maybe it needed to mellow or something, because today when I opened the bottle I didn't immediately want to close it back up. Anyway :D on Saturday I discovered a local store selling lots of Lorann flavors for relatively cheap, and wanted to see if I could come...
In general, avoid using essential oils. Except for lavender, they don't seem to blend very well into juice.
