    Embarrassed to Vape?

    I've only been vaping for 6 days now, but I went into my doctors office for a followup visit because I pulled a muscle in my back, and while there I was talking to a nurse, and I told her I am trying to quit smoking, and she asked "what are you using to quit, anything"? To that I broke out my...

    An easy way to stop leaking in your Ego T or C......

    Which atomizers do you use with your Ego-C? Do you use the stock resistance ones, or the LR ones, and how long do they last before they burn out or need replacement?

    Problems with 6ml TW dual coil tank system: What did I do wrong?

    I bought the Totally Wicked 6ml tank to go with mt Torpedo VV(that I hardly ever use). I got it last Wednesday, but have not tried it out til last night. Its a dual coil 1.5ohm 6ml tank. I read the instruction on their site, and I watched the video the other day, and again as I tried filling it...

    An easy way to stop leaking in your Ego T or C......

    If it was leaking, it was probably caused by the end caps' holes becoming enlarged, which floods the atomizer and weakens the flavor and hit. But if you are getting e-liquid into the tip end of the tank( the mouthpiece end), something isnt working out right. Thats shouldnt ever happen. It hasnt...

    Thats what I'm talking about, but those are for the 'B' tank, or the Mega tank(2ml). Plus, those are pretty expensive for just 5, they want 1.50 for 5. At Indy Vapor shop, they sell the Joye silicone caps for $1.25 for 10 of them.

    An easy way to stop leaking in your Ego T or C......

    I'm not having that problem at all. I get great vapor from my Ego-T. I also bought some LR cartos and an LR atomizer and I've tried them, they do give stronger hits, and they are quicker to hit due to their hotter coil, but they are loud, and they seem to burn the liquid if you push the button...

    What category do you fit in?

    I choose I., your poll is stupid and I'm not going to answer, and I also choose J, because this thread and poll is a great idea, but I didnt see the answer that fit my situation.:unsure: I started trying to quit smoking cigs immediately after receiving my Ego-T kit, and only smoked 2 more...

    How difficult was it for you to quit smoking after switching to vaping?

    Its amazing how the human mind works when it comes to making excuses to justify continiung an addiction. I talked to a guy at Totally Wicked the day after making my order for my kit, and asked him if he had quit, and he said yes and that e-cigs made it possible, but that he had smoked 2 cigs...

    How difficult was it for you to quit smoking after switching to vaping?

    I used to meet people who would try and quit smoking like once a year, and fail repeatedly. I decided to not even try unless I was serious, because the more times you fail, the easier it is to justify failure the next time, since you've become accustomed to it, or at least that was my excuse for...

    Has anyone ever purchased the 99% pure nicotine over the internet?

    I did a Google search for nicotine thinking I was going to find the standard diluted nicotine from 24mg/ml to 100mg/ml, but I also found ads for 99% pure nicotine for sale. It seemed that most of it is out of China, and I'm not so confident in their safety standards over there, and I'm not so...

    How Long Can Nicotine Be Stored?

    I read some info about beer bottle colors and which colored beer bottles are best at preventing light from entering and degrading the contents, and of course clear bottles are the least effective, green bottles are OK, but brown colored bottles were best, so maybe storing nicotine in brown...

    History Of Vaping

    I've always read that it was Bill Clinton and Al Gore, who had the time to invent them after they got out of office, and after they invented the computer and the internet... Seriously though, the Nicotrol inhaler came out in like the late 90's, and maybe that had some influence on e-cigs, but...

    How much juice do you vape/day? How to calculate vaping to smoking(nicotine intake)?

    I'm actually surprised at how easy it's been to quit smoking this time(I've quit 2 other times since the 80's). I am not Jonesing for a cigarette at all, and I'm not eating all the time, or depressed. I've tried this with nicotine cessation devices before like Nicotrol inhalers, but I still...

    An easy way to stop leaking in your Ego T or C......

    When I got my Ego-T or Tornado tank kit in last week I started mixing DIY flavors immediately because I had bought some lousy tasting e-liquid, so I was forced to DIY just to get by til I got new e-liquid in the mail. So I started trying out different flavors, and each time I would change...

    How much juice do you vape/day? How to calculate vaping to smoking(nicotine intake)?

    Thats a great idea. I have found a flavor I like, and I am tempted to vape too much of it, so I should do the same! If you change your mind and need some more nicotine, you can always add a little, or you can mix the no-nicotine liquid into some 18mg nicotine liquid to weaken it some.

    Should e-liquid dealers work harder to post nicotine instructions/warnings?

    I'm not being dramatic. Dont be blind! There are people out there who want to limit or ban this stuff, and all they need is an excuse! Sure there are dangerous chemicals out there, but there arent huge multi-billion dollar businesses and politicians looking for excuses to ban rubbing alcohol! We...

    Should e-liquid dealers work harder to post nicotine instructions/warnings?

    Well, thats all well and good, but it wont fly when some kid dies while his parents were at work and a pro-tobacco politician finds out about it! Besides, just because you may be a good parent, doesnt mean that everyone else is..... There are millions of absentee parents out there, and we cant...

    How much juice do you vape/day? How to calculate vaping to smoking(nicotine intake)?

    If thats true, and we only take in about 50% of the nicotine in e-liquid, and I used to intake about 14mg of nicotine from smoking per day, and I am now using about 1.5 - 2ml per day of 12mg/ml, then I am getting approx. 9 - 12mg per day, so I am a little lower than when I smoked, which is where...
