    advice on flavors to convert die hard smokers

    Excellent advice so far, and I think it's cool you are doing this! Just remember not be get frustrated or disappointed if they don't decide to convert...this is a big step. As a long-term, hard-core, heavily-addicted smoker I don't think anyone or anything could have convinced me to switch until...

    Review: Fried peanut butter and banana, aka "Elvis Special."

    Fried Peanut Butter and Banana - Ms T's Bakery Essentials. Have Your Cake and Puff It Too. OK, so on my first Ms T's order I included this one, thinking it would be a weird novelty yet meh sort of flavor. I LOVE it! And will be ordering more. I'm sad my bottle is almost gone. The banana is...

    I have a few questions.

    Buttons have a sense of coolness. :)

    Vapor community size

    What Pittboss said. Vaping is still a fringe activity, practiced by very few nicotine users overall and I expect it will stay that way for a very long time, or forever. Bear in mind that a big percentage of smokers are low-income and don't have computers or computer skills. Without which their...

    On the fence about purchasing the KGO

    Same here! And I'm a hard-core, long-term, heavily addicted smoker. More like $40.00, not $60.00, BTW. Liked it so much I bought two and may buy a third. I use BOGE cartos, clearomizers and Resurrectors (my favourites.) Worth every penny.

    Unless someone was stealth-shooting photos I don't think any got taken. :/ Take it from me, everyone looked cute. :) Not a huge turn-out but it was fun. Looking forward to seeing everyone else at the BBQ!

    Just ordered this Riva, what do you guys think?

    That looks great! Similar to my KGO setup, which I've been using for two months and LOVE. Cool that your kit includes extras like a lanyard and cartos. You're going to love it!

    My friends near Jackson got the bag of juices from mistinthewoods yesterday, so they're going to be there about 1 pm. I have no clue what the vapemeet protocols are. I'm bringing a couple of juices I don't like if anyone wants them. (BWB menthoblast and a generic vanilla I got at my local smoke...

    Is it normal to spend this much....

    I wouldn't worry about what's "normal"...that's a relative term anyhow and if what you've done gets you off smokes, you're doing great! I haven't spent quite that much in my first two months, and could have spent less, I guess. I started with a KGO, loved it and bought a second KGO kit. And an...

    How long will it take to out grow?

    I went from a few weeks of faffing around with disposable e-cigs to a KGO two months ago (after lurking and asking lots of questions here.) Love the giant long-lasting battery. Liked it so much I bought a second kit, and have tried a few of the larger cartos/clearos. So far total investment in...

    e cig vs. patches and gum

    A thousand times YES. As a very addicted heavy 37-year-long smoker, I tried patches, gum and a whole bunch of other ways to quit without success and always endured constant cravings for a smoke. With my PV and an assortment of tasty 24 mg juices I have virtually NO cravings at all. And vaping...

    All these fitting sizes!! 306, 510, 801, 901, eGo. HELP!!

    It is confusing at first. I assure you, once you have your first kit in your hands it gets a whole lot easier to understand. Very basically (someone more knowledgeable will correct me if I'm wrong) 510 threading is the most common for a wide range of good PV kits - e-Power, eGo, and eGo clones...

    Help me with some non fruity/caramel juices

    Check BWB: Backwoods Brew The only thing I haven't been crazy about is Menthoblast (because it appears I simply don't like menthol/mint flavors) and Casablanca - it's a nice complex taste but has a minty finish, so, nah. Their Caramel Cappucino and Espresso are awesome, very earthy. Also their...

    How bad is nicotine really for you?

    Take it FWIW - the wiki article on nicotine is a good starting point: Nicotine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Very toxic in larger doses - not altogether a benign plant but has both positive and negative effects psychologically and physically. In small, controlled doises - like vaping -...

    Just got my first ecig and i'm craving an analog

    Hey plasticscones, I agree with those that say don't stress wanting (or smoking) the occasional cigarette - instead, be proud of yourself for every single one you DON'T smoke! I've cut down from about 50 RYO per day to somewhere between zero and five smokes daily so IMO that is pretty huge...

    vaping while cheating with analogs-and feeling bad? this post is 4U

    I don't consider it "cheating" and I don't feel one bit bad and it's not a struggle, it's fun and tasty too. In fact, I feel pretty damn good that I've gone from about 50 RYO smokes per day (37-year habit) to just one or two daily in two months of vaping. :) This is HUGE for me in terms of...

    coffee... who has the best flavor?

    Another vote for BWB espresso and caramel cappucino both. The espresso is strong and bitter, just like a good espresso. It's also good with a drop or two of straight caramel flavor added.

    People Look Strange

    I felt funny about it at first but all my friends and acquaintances know what it is and don't have a problem with it wherever. Plus, I am old enough not to give a hoot what other people think LOL. The few times I've been asked and don't want to go into a big explanation I just say it's an...

    Mister E-liquid is a wonderful site.

    I just found out they're opening (or have already opened) a brick and mortar store 108 miles from me. :) (I'm in Michigan as well.) Haven't tried their juices yet but they look great and I've seen nothing but good reviews so they're on my must-try list.

    What are your "can't live without" jooses?

    BWB Honey Flue - true tobacco taste with a hint of honey. Normally I'm not a fan of tobacco-flavored juice but this one has really grown on me, I love it! I add the occasional drop of caramel juice to it and find myself craving that taste combo. Ms T's Snickerdoodle Cookie. Awesome. Must get...
