    My wife wants to become addicted to something...

    I've always considered quitting smoking to be as difficult as abstaining from food completely. You can do it, but it's tough going. Luckily, vaping has made it relatively painless for me.

    901 battery question

    Hi Joanna, I think your 901 battery is toast. I would try to contact your supplier and get a warranty replacement. That burning taste you describe can't be good for you. The automatic switch on 901 batteries is rather poorly designed and frequently fails. Of my original three 901...

    something missing with ecigs vs analogs

    Hey Knifesideleft, Usually, that "head-rush" feeling is attributed to the blast of carbon monoxide/lack of oxygen effect of analogs. Although, I did miss that feeling at first when I switched to vaping, I don't miss it anymore, fortunately. That said, though, I have read, according to some...

    well here we go! my first ever e-cig is charging.

    Good luck, Bob. I don't know anything about that model, but if it doesn't work out, there's always the tried and true 510, 901 or 801, etc., models. I have been vaping for 10 weeks, and quit smoking the first day. I hope you are as lucky. Jherek

    Me, too. I have my own ideas as to what may prolong atty life, but I bet we will find some surprises with so many variables at work.

    Discussion of Comprehensive Atomizer Life Span Survey

    Interesting sites, but: I'd rather collate the data myself, being old-fashioned. Also, the raw data will be available to everyone here, so that more than just my observations can be made. Most importantly, a simple yes/no and multiple choice survey, will not allow the kind of flexibility...

    Comprehensive Atomizer Life Span Survey

    Hi all, It seems to me, that the best way to find out how to maximize atomizers' working life is to have a sufficient number of experienced vapers answer a comprehensive questionnaire, so that useful correlations can be made. Atomizers may become very dear, if a ban goes through. :(...

    Industrial Vaping mod?

    Hi all, Has anyone built a belt pack of 4, D or C cell NIMH batteries, for serious vaping? Seems to me, it'd be nice to have the 5000/10,000 mah's available. I'm considering going for it.

    POLL: Electronic Users Organization - New Name

    I strongly second this notion. CAFTA is, in fact, already the Central American Free Trade Agreement.

    Positive E-Cigarette Article

    Hi Kristin, Cripes. I'm mucking up your work... and going bit by bit, isn't much help, I think. I'll do a full treatment and send it off in a few hours, rather than doing it piecemeal.

    Positive E-Cigarette Article

    Paragraph two: I would break this up into two paragraphs. The part about the seller's claims and the health benefits of vaping need to be divided. Also, I think, there should be an explanation as to how e-cigs work, what's in the liquid, etc. Perhaps that ought to come next? Suggested...

    Positive E-Cigarette Article

    I've done some editing before. Hope this is of help. Suggested rewrite of Paragraph one: [In this paragraph, there is a run on sentence (which I found a bit confusing), and some tense problems. I think, too, that the reader needs to know which State Fair you mean. Also, I believe that...

    What to get??

    Sorry, don't know about pccs. I use the 901 myself and think it's been, by and large, great. You might consider the DSE 601 pipe. It gives off enormous clouds of vapor:evil: and has a big battery with a long life (900 mah). Also, it has a big cart that holds a lot of fluid. It's an...

    To drip, or not to drip?

    Short answer: Get a half dozen... more if you can afford them. Atomizers are the one indispensable piece of e-cig hardware. Longer answer: I think you shouldn't count on atomizers lasting more than 2 weeks. That said, though, many people find they get a month or more from each. I think...

    sickly sweet, medicinal smelling/tasting PG

    Follow up: Thanks for the tip. I placed an order on Sunday night from them for 500 ml. Hopefully, it'll get here soon. I tried taking the bad PG back to the pharmacy I bought it from and they told me they can't refund me for it since it was opened! "How am I supposed to know it's...

    Heavy Smoker-Waiting for my first Ecig

    You'll certainly be able to get all the nicotine you get from cigarettes, perhaps more! Even though, you are a self-described heavy smoker, I would be wary at first of the "high strength" carts and liquid. Even for someone who has smoked a lot, you may find them overwhelming. This is...

    A good glue(s) to use for Juicybox?

    Interesting. JB Weld softened by eliquid :shock: I am stunned! The makers like to boast they can fix engine blocks with this stuff.
