    12 days left before the ban of sales in CA!

    Done. Where California goes, the nation soon follows. We are ALL in this together regardless of where we call home. One of my "converts" at work actually bought his e-cig at a truck stop while in California. He's a bricks-and-mortar kind of guy and buys nothing sight unseen. If the only...

    Don't waste your juice!!!

    Yessiree Daffy, been there, done that! Especially back in my college days. Would also strip the tobacco remnants out of the butts and roll them up in papers or stuff the leavin's in a corn cob pipe. God, I couldn't even imagine doing that now that I can smell and taste again:shock:. Hot...

    E-liquid garbage bottle

    I have a bottle I labeled "DX", a radio hobbyist term meaning "distance unknown". Into it go all the squeezings from old cart filler, remnants of liquid too small to supply a full cart, and failed recipes. The ghosts of Vapings Past. It's the DoomsDay bottle, also known as The Big Nasty One...

    Solid State RN4081 USB Passthrough

    If you're having trouble with connections breaking, try sealing the exposed bits with Tool Dip for strain relief. It's a liquid rubber meant for making your own custom grips for tools and comes in a variety of colors including black and clear. Home Depot and Lowes both carry it (brand name...

    E-Cigs will never be Legal

    As true today as it was when Mark Twain said it: We have the best government money can buy but be thankful that we don't get all the government that we're paying for. They aren't taking the "long view". Not sure of the figure, but it's something like 400,000 smoking related deaths per year...

    Smokers told me not to Vape

    Here's an analogy I think applies in this stituation: The Group Dynamics in a Crab Bucket They are all trapped by the high walls of the bucket, but invariably there's always one or two who attempt to scale those walls to freedom. Sometimes they make it as far as the lip of the bucket. What...

    Anyone know how to get to Runyan Direct?

    Yep, they are definitely Heaven-gifts now. Just got in some spare atomizers from them yesterday, arrived in just under 7 days. Gotta love them. Sometimes prone to server issues, but you'll eventually get through. Good products too. This new pipe atty is better than the original ever was. I...

    Hacksaw meets the Screwdriver

    Curiosity didn't kill the cat. She was framed. It was Ignorance that killed the cat. Knowledge is the child of Curiosity, and the father of Invention.

    WARNING: Do not vape at high voltages if your happy with 3.6/3.7

    My RN4081 passthru on a 5 volt Duracell portable power supply makes the same vape as my 601 Pipe on it's stock 3.7 volt batt. I just have to top up more often. I use it as my back-up plan. Before I got the portable rig going I have resorted to an emergency ghetto-mod on my pipe in a pinch when...

    baffled by response to vaping need help how to deal with it

    So true. Most smokers are a little intrigued, but I've noticed a dividing line. FDA drivel to the contrary, it's actually the younger, newer, barely legal:D smokers that ridicule the device. Those with a decade or more of wear on their lungs are more likely to take a serious look at it, want...

    FYI - Don't do this

    I totally agree, Moonflame. You gotta balance the flavor profiles or you get a big mouthful of Yuck8-o! It's the same principle as in beer making. The hops are there to keep the malt in check. I got the bright idea of making "mocha cigarettes" one day, only partly do to the fact it was so...

    Looking for something to carry your E-Smokes ?

    Cruise the computer accessories aisle in WalMart or Target. They've got all sorts of small cases. I've got a semi hard shell zipper case for portable hard drives that holds my DSE601 Pipe, spare cart, battery and a 15 ml dropper bottle just in case;-). I can also get the charger in there too...

    portable power for pt

    This thing rocks for the passthru! Temporary price reduction at Target, not sure how long it will be for, but you can get one for $19.95 while the sale is still on. I love it! Picked one up on 2 days ago, its in Electronics in the same aisle as the specialty batteries and flash drives...

    Started Direct Dripping (Properly)

    I first tried dripping on my Super Mini, but it was way too easy to flood it. Since then I switched over almost exclusively to vaping a pipe. I've noticed with the DSE601, after the first 12 or so drags on a fresh cart the vapor drops off. Discovered that the atty was saturated and wasn't...

    Moonport Productions Pres Release - MDA Telethon 2009 National Appeal to all Vaporers worldwide!

    Damn it! I didn't find this thread until now. I donate every year anyway! That's not counting point of sale contributions and firemen's boots. If I had known earlier about this I'd have sent mine in as a Vaper. I used to do volunteer work for the MDA Mid-South Summer Camp based out of...

    Hybrid MOD - Best of both worlds

    Brazilleon, this hybrid approach rocks! Most of my All-PTB modded carts like to leak if I fill them "too much", could be that my Pipe carts are too big so there isn't enough surface tension in the liquid to hold it. However, I can put the same amount in one of your hybrids and it doesn't leak...

    Chinese Ordered to Smoke More

    Thank you for your service, misterME. You all deserved so much better than what you got. I have a friend who served in Desert Storm as a NBC specialist. After he was given his round of 'special' vaccinations he was instructed to NEVER give blood again. A co-worker of mine, another Desert Storm...

    Smoking Cessation or Alternative?

    I never intended to quit. It just sort of happened. And now that I have experienced the health benefits, I want to "stay quit". I don't want to go back. This will not happen without e-cigs. An attempt on my e-cig will be treated as an attempt on my life. There's no alternative about it...
