    I hate being an impulsive buyer

    Thanks all for your appreciation. I just hope my words will help Bewzer and anyone else who needs the encouragement. I use the "Preview Post" button a lot and test read and re-write my stuff until I'm sure it says exactly what I mean it to say. That's why my posts are typically so long...

    My Doctor's Appt.

    Let him examine you first, then when he's all puzzled and amazed scratching his head, pull out your PV and hand him some printouts. He won't be able to argue with evidence he himself witnessed. 2 months without analogs will show a "head snapping" amount of improvement! Oh I so want to be...

    I hate being an impulsive buyer

    I fell into that trap back in July. Once the "shiney" had worn off and the honeymoon was over, I got tired of always having to futz with the damn things. Grabbing the wrong batteries, cartridges running out at the last minute, atomizers going wonky at the worst possible time, leaky bottles. I...

    Welcome to ECF! It's good to see another Virginia Vaper on this board. The folks here are simply the best. Tons of information and help all here for the asking. These e-cigs have given me back a life I didn't know I'd lost. Whenever I encounter problems I turn to this board for support...

    Recipes Only (non Nicotine or other premade e-juices)

    Hobby Lobby is an arts and crafts store. If you have a Michaels near by, they carry it too. Didn't think to check in WalMart or Target so I don't know if they carry it as well. Look in the section for wedding cakes and decorations where they keep icing tubes, stencils, food colorings etc...

    Money (well) spent

    I've been vaping almost exclusively since the beginning of the third week of January 2009! There was a brief stint in July after I somehow misplaced my charger for my RN4081 and I regretably succumbed to the siren song of Stupid Sticks, but that didn't last too long since I really couldn't...

    Hybrid MOD - Best of both worlds

    I find cutting the PTB easier if it is secured to a piece of painter's tape. It's quick release and leaves no residue. Just cut the bag tape and all then remove the tape. Another suggestion would be making a custom fit pouch out of the PTB using one of those battery powered heat sealers sold...

    Reservoir Mod needs your help!

    Try Wal-Mart or Target. Not every individual store carries it but most of them do. It is worth the effort to find them, these Pyramid Tea Bags have improved the quality of my vaping experience beyond all expectation. They really are THAT good. I've had to adapt Rho's technique to fit my...

    E-Cigarettes Are For Drug Addicts

    As to the whole "addict issue", some of us here are being clinical and others are being personal in our approaches. Unfortunately its hard sometimes to know which is which. What follows is not an attack directed towards anyone but a clinical statement about addiction, and how it applies to ME...

    E-Cigarettes Are For Drug Addicts

    The sunglasses craze started out of Hollywood with the rising popularity of outpatient pre-frontal lobotomies. The procedure was performed with an instrument that resembled an ice-pick. Access to the brain was gained through the eye socket. Once inserted, the connection between the two...

    Shredded PTB

    Further Adventures in Over Engineering Must admit, my Burrito was a pain to make not nearly as simple as the Fold, Spindle, and Mutilate mods (May the Sauce be with You :D). Subsequent attempts have failed to reproduce the performance I had with my first specimen but, I've added a few...

    question for 601 users...

    Whenever my vapor starts to drop off, I simply remove the cart. If the filler still looks wet enough, I start vaping off the excess juice without the cart. The vapor starts to come back strong, when it drops off again I re-insert the cart. The only time I've experienced a wet battery is when...

    American Spirit Cigarettes better than E-Cigs???

    I have smoked American Spirits, and liked them. But anyone who thinks they are any safer than any other brand is fooling themselves. Look on the box, it is right there on the box: No additives in our tobacco does NOT mean a safer cigarette. This also applies to their Organic line. Weeds...

    Habit vs Hobby

    Like any other hobby it's the start up costs that are the steepest. Once you've found the "right" equipment things level off. Archery for example. I was spending a small fortune on traditional wooden arrows until I bought the tools for making them myself. I now have a nearly self-sufficient...

    Shredded PTB

    My new PV of choice is a DSE601 Pipe. Good vapor, good cart longevity, awesome battery life. However, it was lacking a little bit in the flavor delivery department. Until now. PTB is hands down the best thing going. There are many fine methods of employing it, but being an uncurable...

    The only way PTB works...

    :thumbs: PTB has breathed new life into my Super-mini's! The procedure is very tedious with such a small cart, but it friggin' vapes like a champ! The slit fan-fold seems to be the easiest way to go on these, but like d0kie says, don't over-fill them. If you're careful you can get a fistful...

    Video Tip: How to get good vapor from a 601 Pipe

    Nice Vid Mooby! The 601 really is a little dynamo. I can't really do too much of the direct inhaling either because most of my juice stock is a little too harsh. May not be a problem with some of the lighter juices. I still get very good vapor from mouth draws though, if done slow and...

    Anyone else get mislabeled juice?

    I ordered some Cash Special Blend and both bottles are labeled "Marlboro", but I think they are just mislabeled. I've always been contacted for approval of substitution prior to shipping whenever there's been a problem in the past. Although I've never tried the Special Blend before, I'm...

    DSE601 E-Pipe

    Excellent review! I just got mine last week, and this thing is friggin awsome. The only suck part is that damn jewel cap but so far my batteries last long enough to keep it from being too much of a pain. Power and the Pipe I proudly take my pipe out in public and haven't had any...

    the best start

    WOW! I'm absolutely loving this pipe! The cart holds sooo much juice and the batt lasts all day! And I've learned some new tricks I would like to share! The quantity of vapor started to drop off mid-morning of the first day and I began to suspect either the battery or a dry cart. Well I...
