    What do yall suggest..

    The 801 has a good reputation. It's bigger than most e-cigs, but has excellent battery life. Also, parts for it tend to be relatively cheap. That said, though, the models most recommended for the beginning vaper are: -the 510 - A bit more expensive, but has big vapor production, and has a...

    I've lost my mind

    I, too, went a bit nutty on the purchases. Partly, this was out of a fear of a coming ban, partly just to possess vaping stuff. I am reminded of myself when I was 7 years old, and wanted a collection of shiny marbles of different colors, sizes, styles, etc. Just as with the marbles, I like...

    Wellbutrin or "Zyban" User Experiences

    I took Wellbutrin SR for 3 days, in an attempt to quit smoking. The first day went OK, and I lost the desire to smoke, as advertised. The second day, though, I started feeling jumpy and irritable. I put this down to the stress of not smoking. On the 3rd day, I was feeling really out of my...

    Trying to convince a skeptic...

    I dunno. I don't think that attacks on the person who smokes help at all - it just humiliates them and is, thus, counter-productive. Everyone has to find their own time and way to quit. Perhaps a different tack: get them a good vaping kit, like the 510, 901, 401, etc., plus a bottle of juice...

    JuicyBox musings

    Thanks for the heads up on the differential voltage issue - I had forgotten about that. It's a damn shame about that, as it would make fine tuning the voltage easy without fancy hardware. I hear what you're saying about 5 volt goodness. I think I'll try 4.8; that's pretty close and should get...

    JuicyBox musings

    Hi all, Well, I've had my 3 AA NIMH JuicyBox (close to Jaaxx's design) going for several weeks now. It delivers vapor equivalent to the stock 901 battery, fits the hand nicely and has the merit of delivering a whole day's vaping on a single charge. I'm wanting , though, to try a higher...

    First day vaping, tastes like a dance club

    I've been using the 901 since July. I've found that it usually takes two to three days for the atomizer to reach maximum vapor output. So far I've learned: *Clean the nasty primer fluid from the atomizer bridge and heating element by flooding the atomizer and blowing it out. Add a good 5...

    Atomizer Resurrection, Pt 1

    By "cold" he means that the atomizer in question does not produce any heat; it is electrically dead. I tried this on an old 901 atomizer, sitting in my "to fix someday drawer", that has a bit of occasional burnt taste, and had become badly clogged and produced very little vapor. I could...

    LED light color

    Sorry, I assumed they were automatic. I don't have any experience with 901 manual batteries, I'm afraid. Anyone else?

    LED light color

    "Too long? :confused: Is that like a warning to let you know it's getting too hot?" Yeah. Automatic batteries have an cut off time, which varies by model. I think the cut off with the 901 is like 5 seconds or so. I use the 901 myself, but no longer use the stock batteries. I built a...

    LED light color

    I had a black 901 battery with the blue LED, and it would flash orange when too long of a drag was taken.

    Fish & chips smell, is this normal?

    Yuck. 8-o No e-juice should have such an offensive smell. It has certainly gone bad. I would contact the distributer ASAP to notify them of the problem and spare others trouble. You'll almost certainly get a prompt refund or replacement.

    Two interesting Articles - Smoking isn't just a bad habit; it is a moral failing.

    Although, I must admit I enjoyed the Shunning TV show idea, I think what I was trying to say got muddled. My point was that anti-smoking is, in itself, a type of crusade - a crusade that is sometimes connected to Christianity, but is more often a secular campaign. The irrational take on pv's...

    WOW - Alarming Data on Nicotine and NRT's

    According to Professor Hecht, "There are many factors which can influence nitrosation by generating relatively high levels of nitrite in the acidic environment of the stomach, together with nornicotine. These could include diet, infections, and others." Still, today, we do not know which oral...

    MAO Inhibitors

    Kurt wrote: "I believe the initial discomfort from stopping smoking is as much MAOI withdrawal as nicotine withdrawal. And this is a large part of the "what's missing" in vaping. Once you get past MAOI withdrawals, analogs are far less tempting. Perhaps a low dose of an MAOI along with...

    Its crazy to hear all these stories of people who smoked for 20+ years

    E-cigs are the holy grail to smokers wanting to quit. I think they must be the greatest health breakthrough since antibiotics. Hon Lik, inventor of the e-cig, deserves the Nobel prize in medicine. 26 year smoker, here. I smoked 1 to 1.5 packs a day. Tried everything to quit, including...
