    Carto being weird

    Cue the Death March music.... Yeah probably dead, they are disposable things. Search on cleaning cartos, I've had success with some cleaning them out, maybe a 50% success rate.

    Help please with kgo and vision clearomizer

    Sorry that happened...I've bought two KGOs from Hoosiers and just ordered a third and the batts are still going strong. And I do not own a meter and don't intend to. I will say the fact that they agreed to replace your battery when it failed after a couple of weeks is a testament to good...

    clearing my throat often....

    No clue...I've not ever bought juice from a mall but the couple of times I got juice (nasty Chinese crap that I ended up tosing) from a local smoke shop it was 100% VG. Ratios vary and not all vendors are explicit about what their ratios are. I think sweeter juices are more likely to have higher...

    A question..

    Some juices (many vendors here mix your juices to order so they may be only a few days old when you receive them) improve and change in complexity and intensity over the course of a week or two. Here's a good explainer...

    Introduction from yet another newbie

    Welcome and as first posts go, yours is pretty darned good. :) As far as cases go...I use a small camera bag for my go-to-work kit and something with a battery-shut-off-protection-thingie will help with the pocket issue. Like this; not too large and won't go off in your pocket: Elite Vaporworks...

    Gambled on the Dill Pickle...

    OMG pickle + snickerdoodle sounds, well, horrifying. :unsure: And somehow deeply funny too. I usually have at least two flavors going at a time - one sweet/bakery type flavor, and one complex/dark-coffee/tobacco/unsweetened juice flavor. And alternate back and forth, because too much of one...

    Boge cartos becoming useless in a day

    For the record, I've also used rubbing alcohol to clean out cartos and if the carto is salvageable, it's worked really well sometimes! Most of mine (including BOGEs) last a week or two, even more, depending on what juice I'm using. When they started feeling fried, fuzzy and hard to draw, I put...

    soo after letting the juices steep for a while...

    Nice reviews! Bananas Fosters Coffee - both with and without cream - are definitely going to be re-orders for me. I LOVE those. Ditto Snickerdoodle Cookie - and if you like that, try the Cinnamon Bun on your next order. Similar but just a little more buttery. Fried Peanut Butter Banana is also...

    Gambled on the Dill Pickle...

    ohai you are a brave, brave woman. And that was an excellent review! I've avoided any of the savory flavors so far - and pickle just sounds downright weird for a vape - but you may have convinced me to try one or two.

    Does it ever wear off?

    I dunno...I just dropped about $100 today but I shop wisely, use coupon codes whenever I can, and now at three months in I have a massive stockpile of different juices, three KGO kits and a buttload of different types of cartos. However, I'm not really enticed by bigger and better mods or PVs...

    clearing my throat often....

    Maybe - are you drinking LOTS and lots of water? Vaping can really dry out mucous membranes. What ratio of PG:VG are you vaping; do you know? Also, bear in mind that quitting smoking, with or without vaping, makes many people hack/cough/clear throat, as old smokers' crud in your lungs starts...

    Sweet tobacco suggestions please

    I haven't liked the tobacco juices I've tried so far including Boba's and two versions of RY4 - most simply taste like stale cigarettes to me - but if nobody has mentioned BWB Honey Flue...YUM. Somehow manages to taste just like good tobacco smells, with a subtle yet distinct honey finish. Am...

    What flavor are you vaping right now...

    #1: Ms T's Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Brownie. #2: BWB Espresso.

    Just placed my order

    Espresso and Honey Flue are two of my all-time favourite juices (well, so far...I've only been vaping for real about three months.) I just made my second order tonight. Both of these juices get better with steeping - BWB rocks at complex flavors! Espresso is also awesome mixed with Caramel...

    K... Writing a short article about VAPING for a NON-Vaping audience... any suggestions?

    Thanks for that! Every now and again I look at VV PVs and wonder if getting one will make me happier, richer, a better person, a cooler vaper or a more committed non-smoker. LOL, can never come up with a good answer for myself. My non-smoking father died at 64, my smoking mother is healthy as a...

    K... Writing a short article about VAPING for a NON-Vaping audience... any suggestions?

    orachel, sweet...the link would be cool when you're done! Someone posted in the New Members forum not too far back that he was starting to vape but had never smoked...but hoped it would help him lose weight (I believe he had diabetes.) Knowing what a killer diabetes can be - I have a close...

    K... Writing a short article about VAPING for a NON-Vaping audience... any suggestions?

    After 37 years of smoking and elebenty-bwillion failed attempts to quit, I got a lung cancer scare (false alarm, thankfully) a few months ago that gave me the kick in the keister to try quitting, again, but this time using e-cigs. I spent $50-60 a week on smokes; I was a heavy smoker. A KGO...

    any menthol smokers find that they don't like menthol juice as much?

    I was never a menthol smoker, but did enjoy a menthol cig occasionally. I've found I dislike any juice that even has a hint of menthol/mint in it...I've tried several. I also thought that I'd really like a good tobacco RY4...but have only found one tobacco/honey flavor juice that I enjoy. Most...

    K... Writing a short article about VAPING for a NON-Vaping audience... any suggestions?

    I hope you'll be able to post what you write when it's done! BTW, when I asked why you "had to write" about vaping I was just curious whether it was a scholastic thing or what the focus was, sorry if that sounded terse. Anyhoo, as well as the customising aspect, I'd also point out that it's...
