    This was my response from the White.Gov post

    Boy, this is such a hard debate and I certainly don't have the answers, only my personal experiences. 1. I too grew up with non smoking parents who were also adamently against smoking. I still started despite their threats similar to the poster above. I can't tell you if it would have made any...

    The error here is by the manufaturers and retailors.

    I wish I could think of a smoother answer when someone asks "what is that?". I refuse to use words such as "cigarette, smoke, smoking, tobacco or even e-cigarette" when I try to answer their question. I usually say "it's my personal vaporizer", which sounds too vague and doesn't really answer...

    Kids skipping class to smoke

    I have a son who now vapes with my permission and although I know it is against the law (he just turned 17 on the 6th of this month) I prefer he vape than smoke. My husband and I were both long-time smokers, I myself started when I was 15. He (my son) started "sneaking" cigs from our packs...

    Hello all

    Welcome to the forum! This place has been an incredible amount of help, info and support for me! Awesome people! Congrats on quitting the stinkies right away. I went from smoking to exclusively vaping as soon as my first starter kit arrived over a month ago too. I don't miss smoking at all...

    My first E-cig

    Congrats! Keep it up! I'm glad you have found a PV that is working for you straight away, that makes quitting the spendy stinkies so much easier IMO. I always feel a little bummed for the people who have struggles right off the bat and just feel like throwing in the towel. Have a great day...

    DIY Master Techniques - Determining Flavor Percentages

    As a noob, I wish threads like this could be made into a sticky. I have read all the stickies in the DIY section several times over now and there is a GREAT amount of info there (also GREAT information!), but this thread has really helped me UNDERSTAND how to really test/taste flavors. I knew...

    Long term effects of vaping???

    That's a really good question and one that I'm sure a lot of us would like to know. I can't tell ya... I'm just shy of the 30 day mark. However, I do know the long term effects of smoking (28 yrs.. PAD+): Stink, broke, can't breathe, shunned, stink, sick, look older, yellow finger... and...

    KGO Battery charging question

    I have orderd 2 KGO starter kits. About a week apart. The first kit, I followed the instructions to the T. When the second kit arrived, only one of the two batteries went through the 8 hour/20min/1 hour charge ritual. The 4th battery was put on the charger for just a brief time until the...

    Back On The Wagon (My Story)

    Welcome to the ECF! Congrats on sticking with it... it is so worth it! Having been down the patch, gum, cold turkey mess too many times in the past (with absolutely no success...) I can identify with you. Fortunately for me vaping has been it! Without ecigs and this forum I never would have...

    kGo arrived today! Why is my carto crackling??

    As you have already learned from everyone else... it's a good thing! I love to hear that sizzle and crackle coming from a new carto on my KGO. I recently bought some 1.7 LR's (smok tech I believe...) and they really pop compared to the boge 2.0's that I have been using... gunk up a little...

    Noob cleaning cartos. Am I just wasting my time... and juice?

    Thanks for the tips and advice from you both! I really appreciate any help here. Going to try a few more times I guess. I really don't have anything to lose I suppose. I think it must be the dark colors in the juices that are coating the coil. I don't know... most of the cartos I have tried...

    Please help ! Was just about to order v2 and then I found this forum

    Welcome to the ECF! I can't really help you with the size/type brand/model you are looking at, just wanted to say welcome. What matters the most is being happy with what YOU want and quitting the analogs. Congrats on taking the first step to getting off the spendy stinkies!

    Cartemattytankohmerizers!!!

    Just had to say... This thread is my kind of weird! :p

    hellooo

    I didn't mention that I use cartos on my KGO. I do drip directly on an atty quite a bit when I am home, or tasting new flavors. Just FYI... you sound pretty much right on track with what a lot of us do. I have tried 3 or 4 different cartomizers, tanks, about 20 juices... blah, blah, blah...

    hellooo

    Welcome to the ECF and the wonderful world of vaping! Nice to meet you too! I like the sweet and fruity flavors myself. Coffees are my favorites. Have not found a fruit flavor that I really love yet... they have a weird perfumy taste to me. Started with the KGO kit. A little over 3 weeks...

    Noob cleaning cartos. Am I just wasting my time... and juice?

    Have tried a couple of times to clean my used cartos. So far, all attempts have failed. I have tried the boiling in water method. Rinsing and/or soaking in water method. Flushing with a syringe method. Giving them a week or longer to dry after cleaning, so they are not wet. They look clean...

    Three questions for newbies

    1. How long did you smoke analogs? 27 years 2. How long have you been vaping? A bit over 3 weeks 3. Since you've been vaping, approximately how many analog cravings have you had? Only a few REALLY strong ones, but the longer I go the less I have 'em. Never caved though, I just vaped my way...
