    Where'd ya get that name?

    My name is from the 1994 Coen brothers movie, The Hudsucker Proxy. In this movie, there is a scene where a marketing department is trying to come up with a name for the new toy they're developing. The toy is the Hula-Hoop. One of the names they throw out is "Uncle Midriff."...

    Puresmoker to the rescue!

    Isn't it though? Geez! The flavor I could stand...maybe, but the way it feels is different from any other nic liquid I've tried. Ugh. It's like inhaling nano-razors. The good news (for me, at least) is that my PureSmoker order shipped yesterday or the day before, so I'm expecting to get my...

    Puresmoker to the rescue!

    Man... I'm still waiting on my Feb. 25th order. It hasn't been that long, but I'm just about out of liquid, so I'm all anxious. I've had to fall back on my reserve liquid, which is some left-over Cigar flavored liquid from Janty, which is NASTY. It makes me cough just about every other puff...

    Bullet Belt For Carrying Cartridges?

    That's kinda what I thought. I remember snickering the first couple of times I heard people refer to cigarettes as "fags," but now, after reading all these posts from all these people from across the pond, that word doesn't even register anymore. In fact, I have to be kinda careful not to...

    Contacting Intellicig

    I did make the purpose of my emails clear in the subjects of them. That didn't seem to help any. However, I am happy to report that I sent another email to them last night and I got a response back almost immediately. John said he would be sending me a replacement atomizer as soon as they...

    Contacting Intellicig

    One of my atomizers died about 2 weeks in. I emailed the Info email address, and got no response for a couple weeks. Then I emailed the John email address and I am still without a response. I'm hoping I can still get the thing replaced, even though I'm past the 30-day period. When I first...

    Clove Ejuice

    I've tried Janty's clove liquid and Puresmoker's. So far, I like Janty's better. The first few bottles of clove liquid I got from Puresmoker were alright, but the last bottle I got didn't taste much like cloves at all...it was a higher nicotine strength than I am used to though, so maybe that...

    Who is Electronic Smoke Magazine?

    Welcome to the internet. This is pretty much how the internet works, and that is a good thing. All this information on this site, the information that has been instrumental in getting so many people involved with e-cigarettes and then keeping them informed, can be copied anywhere by anyone any...

    Defining terms: Throat Kick

    I voted for #2, but let me explain. I prefer a strong throat "presence." I need to know that I have just inhaled something other than air. However, I even more prefer a tingly, or singe-y throat hit...without a bit of tingle, the throat hit feels flat, even if I can tell I'm inhaling more...

    Will the e-cigs be the cigs of the future?

    Caffeine can kill you too. What keeps that from happening, though, is that in its most common forms, your body processes and eliminates it faster than you could consume enough to kill you. Take an entire box of Vivarin, though, and you'll be in a world of hurt, or worse. I'm a programmer...

    I OD'ed last night

    Bastage: I'm glad you're ok now. What you described sounded very much like my first panic attack a few years ago. I wasn't worried or anxious about anything, and then BOOM! Sweating, dizzy, nauseated, heart racing, feeling as though I would pass out, finger tips going numb...and all this...

    CES 2009 covers e-cigs

    Cash, you should be happy to know that I and a couple others are pimping PureSmoker.com on the woot.com forums now*. Once the billions of people that frequent that site hear about it and your shipping times start slipping due to the deluge of new customers, I expect a free pocket mini or two...

    Go gators!!!

    Bah! Bah, I say! Bah! I'm from Oklahoma. Tonight was not my favorite. ;-) Apparently, Mr. Stoops has forgotten how to win important games. Oklahoma choking in a bowl game has happened so many times now... I don't know why I even bother to get my hopes up anymore. Congratulations...

    Banned for Life - Ecigtest

    So I'm clicking on the link now on Janty's site (JantyUSA.com). OK, now I'm at a completely different page, one that looks completely different from Janty's site. It looks like a forum. The address bar reveals that I am no longer at Janty's site. Has this changed from when you did it, or is...

    What exactly produces the throat hit?

    The reason I think the atomizer/power source combination has quite a bit to do with throat hit is because just before one of my atomizers went out, something happened to it. It was a mediocre performer prior to this event, but then for about three puffs, it turned psycho on me. It was...
