    Disaster strikes with my new GLV2... pics included..

    Sticky or no, if you go back and read that thread, nowhere does Jay mention that you need to use protected batteries or the consequences of not doing so. Several people mention that they use them, a couple mention that they use the AW. Jay's contribution to the discussion was to say he uses...

    Looking for something special

    I'd second Vapor Station's Tampa. Great replicant version of tobacco. Nice smooth taste, no sweetness, no surprises. To me it's the perfect full flavor cigarette transition to vaping.

    510 vs 901 atomizer?

    I've got the Riva 901 and the Riva 510 and I have not noticed that trouble with leaking, storing them both upright, although like you said it may be hidden under the cone. The 901 does seem less hot a vapor than the 510, so I do find myself using it for more for my fruity and pastry flavors...

    vapor renu.....yummmm

    One man's Alpo is another man's T-bone, I guess. I certainly really enjoy the Vapor Renu stuff. I've not had Johnson's Creek so I can't say as to whether it tastes like that or not. It is true about taste being subjective; some of the most praised stuff on here to me tastes like a wet dirty...

    My Gawd! Juice question

    I don't know if you're a new vaper or not. Taste buds are funny creatures during the initial stages off cigarettes. It's always a good idea to have a wide variety of flavor profiles from a variety of juice suppliers for that reason. Reviews seem to be mixed on Gourmet Vapor with taste being...

    ignorant analog smoker!

    With all due respect, Ms. Nomad, as I truly do value your opinion on most things, maybe you didn't smoke enough years to understand the smoking mindset. Frankly, as more and more people lectured about the huge satanic-grade evil that is cigarettes, heels get dug in. And there is a certain...

    anyone else still feel like they need a cigarette?

    Everybody's different, but it took me a couple weeks to get off cigarettes. I had it down to 2-3 a day, but I was still really really feeling the need for those two. What finally got me over the hump was an increase in the warmth and vapor. While it wouldn't really be do-able with a standard...

    Oil as a base?

    It wouldn't be prudent. Oils can cause a very specific type of pneumonia. I think in the DIY forum there was a posting covering the specifics, but the gist of it was if it's an oil, don't use it.

    Newbie in distress : Vendor is not helping

    Did you do a review of them? It would be great if people would put a review of their bad experiences, too, so that other people might be spared the same treatment. Everybody may not listen and everybody may not have the same experience, but it seems like you and the OP did, and I would like to...

    Make (DIY) juice flavoring?

    Go into Tips and Tricks and there is a DIY forum that might be able to help you. I don't know of anyone who has done a cinnamon flavor totally DIY, but I know some have done it with vanilla so maybe someone in there can help you.

    Health Question

    Well the problem seems to be that you were not replacing the light smoking you did, but rather vaping a lot more than you smoked. While it may end being proven to be better than cigarettes, at this point that is just supposition, and it is still a foreign substance being inhaled into lungs that...

    vapor renu.....yummmm

    I'm glad to hear that the root beer float is good. That should be be here tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it. Like you, I've yet to have anything unvapeable show up. I think some people have this perception that unless you're paying $20 for 30 mL it cannot be quality. Vapor Renu dispels...

    DIY Flavoring Companies

    R&R Vaporz also has FlavourArt, and when you get their 'Special of the Week', it is only $3 for 5 mL, which is a terrific price.

    ignorant analog smoker!

    I find the tone of most of these posts to be pretty hypocritical. Until you stumbled into vaping, I presume you were smokers. Did nobody you care about tell you they were bad for you? Or did you just blithely smoke for years thinking the print on the side of a pack was the equivalent of the...

    What's your PG/VG ratio? Reccomendations?

    I'm a bit of a vapor 'ho', and find that for me a roughly 70/30 mix works. I don't really do exact measurements since they're only for my consumption, but have a bottle of premixed base that is 2/3 PG and 1/3 VG, and I draw from this into a smaller bottle with my flavorings (which are usually...

    How do I get the NOM NOM NOM with diy

    Yeah, the only problem is that the salt will surely wreak havoc on my atomizer. Capella must be kinder to those who drop a bundle than those of us with our little piddly $30 orders. I was curious as to whether the delay was common, but, unlike Mr. Road, I was not gnawing the legs off a...

    Help stop a Rip Off supplier!

    Geez Louise....and they say that $24, 20 mL bottle of juice will last a month and a half. Some poor unsuspecting soul is either going to throw their money away, be driven to the mall kiosk with those prices, or just decide that vaping must be for the wealthy and abandon the thought of even trying.
