    Welcome Melloh! Congratulations on making one of the best choices of your life - to quit smoking & start vaping. OK so wow - you asked a few big questions! Let's try to answer them. 1) You mentioned you were interested in a BB from AltSmoke. Do you have an e-cig yet, or would this be your...

    I have to quit vaping

    Good on you for recognizing that, wood. Give it that honest effort this time. Down the road, you might also want to look into an automatic battery - don't know if you care about that aspect, but for myself the automatic batts made everything so much easier. At any rate, you've recognized what...

    Help!

    lelly hon, I think NoizMaker is right. Either the cartomizer isn't wet enough (in which case you'll be getting a fairly nasty, burnt-tasting mouthful of burnt-filler smoke along with a bit of vapour, yuck - which also usually means that cartomizer is ruined, throw it away)... ...or the nic...

    how can i still be a newb? More questions on flavours and carts and dripping

    You know me well, lickwid! To inked & ella: You're right that under certain circumstances a drip tip can be used with a cartomizer. The reason I was advising against this was in case a newbie got the wrong idea - took a dry cartomizer, popped a drip tip on, put 3 drops in there, and wonders...

    how can i still be a newb? More questions on flavours and carts and dripping

    P.S. Forgot to address the juices!! What flavours have you ordered, made by whom, & from where? You're not using grocery store stuff are you? V.I. is correct: with most DIY juices, 10 to 15% flavouring is the common range. If a flavour is really crazy strong, 5% might be indicated. If a...

    how can i still be a newb? More questions on flavours and carts and dripping

    Hi Telemole! Don't worry hon, you'll get the hang of things before long! OK, so looking at your post I can see there are a couple of things that need clearing up. No worries, we're all here to help each other out. 1) On second read-through, I don't think you're doing the following...but just...

    Tried and true way of drying cartos?

    I don't advise putting a 510 cartomizer in the oven, Tim. The cotton filling in them is not oven-friendly. I mean in theory, you might be able to do it on a low enough temp, for a brief enough period. But I hardly think the risk to your cartos is worth it. You can dry an atty in an oven. Not a...

    Hi all!

    Welcome Gothic! You're exactly right...it's a wonderful feeling to be free, isn't it? Nearly 6 months later for me & it still feels like a dream come true - it was so easy, so simple. No looking back. Yeah! Excellent choice too with your 510 starter kit. I also started with the 510...though...

    Cartos vs Dripping

    Admit it NoizMaker, you're a time traveler! :lol:

    flavours... shop local?

    Agreed, wholeheartedly! Flavour isn't an area you can cut corners on - but you don't need to either. You're in Peterborough: if you choose Expedited shipping when you order flavourings from Happy Vaper, it should get to you within 2 days. That's fast. Price is super affordable too - only $2...

    Cartos vs Dripping

    lelly, yes that's correct - 306 attys have a 510 threading, so they will fit the 510, or eGo. If you want a LR 306 atomizer definitely get the Cisco. I've heard tons of good things about 'em, over & over. LR 306 atty from Cisco is definitely a favourite for many vapers. And just as inked said...

    What comes after the 510?

    P.S. Telemole, re: the LR (low resistance) atomizers...compared to a standard resistance atomizer, they deliver hotter vapour (& many folks say more flavourful vapour). The tradeoff is that you take shorter drags, because it heats up faster. A LR atomizer will also go through juice more...

    What comes after the 510?

    Hi Telemole! I usually read a thread before posting, but haven't gone through this one yet. So apologies if I'm offering info already given to you. Like you, I started with the 510 (I chose the automatics). But I never went with separate atomizers. I chose 510 cartomizers from day one (Happy...

    Won A New Mod! Battery Help.

    Hi Noizmaker! I was stumped at first too, but found a source. Electronic Cigz has 'em - and they're right here in Ontario! 14500 900mAh 3.7V Battery - Protected Compatible charger too (for 14500 & 18650 batts): 3.7V Battery Charger With Electronic Cigz, you have the wonderful Interac...

    Experiences with GH1

    Tim, you should know that the 1000 mAh battery at GH1 is not a genuine Joye eGo batt. It may be a perfectly fine imitation...but yeah, just saying. [EDIT: Oops, DemonCleaner already said as much. No worries then.] You should also know that the general rule of thumb (for Joye batteries anyway)...

    Riva in Canada?

    Fair enough, Vanisle. I agree there are a lot of options out there, & there may indeed be some better deals price-wise to be had. My main point was that a higher price from a Canadian supplier isn't necessarily a bad thing, especially when one considers the convenience factor as well as...

    Riva in Canada?

    lelly, you're right that vaping does take a tad more effort than just grabbing an analog & a lighter. It takes a minute or two to mix up some juice, or to fill a cartomizer, or to every now and then drip on your separate atty, or to plug your battery in to recharge. The question to ask yourself...

    Riva in Canada?

    With all respect to Vanisle...GreenhouseOne's price on eGo's is lower because they do not offer genuine Joye eGo's. Case in point: eGo Manual Battery (1000 mAh) As you can see, it says they're made by a "Greenhouse One hand chosen manufacturer." Not "made by Joye." They're less than half...
