    Why am burning through coils, no matter the brand?

    This is one of the coolest things about ECF - folks are always so willing to help, and to pay it forward.

    new to ECF Forum

    Welcome, woodhippy! I'm pretty new here too, but I've been slowly stepping off the eGo path. First, I moved to a Vision Spinner with variable voltage. I loved the awesome ability to change throat hit by changinjg the voltage. However, mine has a few charging issues, so I've added an iTaste...

    Why?

    This^^. Two weeks ago, I had an Ego 650, an Ego 900, and a Vision Spinner along with 2 chargers. I thought three batteries would be plenty for one person. Then, one Tuesday, I ended up with the 650 and the Spinner charged for the day. Spinner died before I left for work! (Apparently, my...

    Battery life? As in how long do these things last?

    You lost me at ... Current? I thought I was doing all the reading, studying up, and I swear I haven't seen this in a post yet. (So much to read, so little time!) Does this mean I should dial down my Spinner to something like 3.7 volts? Since I don't have variable watts yet, volts are all I...

    Battery life? As in how long do these things last?

    This is so helpful. Such clear explanations are exactly why you'll be missed so much! I have been using the original charger, and I do make sure that the connector is clean before charging, but I wasn't sure if it was ok to charge before the battery was fully discharged, as neither of my...

    Battery life? As in how long do these things last?

    I'm currently using an Ego starter kit and recently added a Vision Spinner to the rotation (thanks, Baditude!), but I suddenly realized I have no idea of what the expected life span of a basic e-cig battery is. Most of the threads about batteries talk about how long it lasts on one charge, but...

    Smoking Souvenir

    A local B&M store, Diversity, has a "Wall of Fame" where the last packs of customers who have quit smoking are hung on the wall - with quit dates. Diversity - Your Home For Electronic Cigarettes and Accessories Pretty cool public souvenir, it seems to me, though I've still got a full pack in...

    is this vaporizer any good?

    The MVP2 gets lots of love of these forums, but I gotta admit, I'm still into something a tad more cylindrical. One of my big smoking triggers has always been driving, and the thing I love about those starter kit eGo batteries is that it's no sweat to hold them between my fingers while...

    Newbie question about Nicotine levels? And how do you smoke these things anyway?

    My starter kit came with the USB charger, but no wall adaptor! I've been using my own wall adapter, and it seems to work, although it took 5 hours to charge last night. I'm figuring out that my B&M store was cheap, but not very helpful... no warning about not using the USB with a computer to...

    Newbie question about Nicotine levels? And how do you smoke these things anyway?

    Thanks so much for these links; it's taking me forever to read everything and figure all this stuff out. The Starter Setup article seems particularly helpful for me -- I've learned the hard way this week that I really, really do need to have two batteries. It is such a bummer to wait for the...

    Newbie question about Nicotine levels? And how do you smoke these things anyway?

    Thanks much to all who sent links. This one on inhalation technique was especially helpful. Despite my initial thoughts that I would like lots of TH and lots of nicotine, I'm actually much happier now without inhaling as deeply and using a mostly 6mg level. Not sure what the PG/VG levels are...

    Newbie question about Nicotine levels? And how do you smoke these things anyway?

    Thank you for the kind welcome. I've got a question about the PG/VG ratio. My store doesn't post this information, and the labels on my juice list PG first, then VG. Is there a standard ratio between the two? Also, are there any online stores you can recommend?

    Newbie question about Nicotine levels? And how do you smoke these things anyway?

    Thank you for this advice. I went back today and picked up a 6mg of vanilla and a 12 of ry4 which I tried at the store. I mixed mostly the 6mg with maybe 1/4 of the 12mg, since I was a tad concerned about that racing heartbeat thing. Also they upgraded me to an iClear 16 VW/VV (?) which the guy...

    Newbie question about Nicotine levels? And how do you smoke these things anyway?

    Thank you for all this information! I wish the gal at the store had been as informative. While I was at the store, not one word about how different the experience of vaping might be from smoking. Of course, there was someone else waiting, so maybe that explains the speediness. Anyway, this...

    Newbie question about Nicotine levels? And how do you smoke these things anyway?

    Thank you for the great advice, Andria! And thank you for mentioning chain vaping, I think you're right that even 12 might be too much since there are times of the day where I'm used to having a cigarette in my hand for hours (like when I'm working from home.) And thank you for the kind...

    Newbie question about Nicotine levels? And how do you smoke these things anyway?

    Yesterday; I visited a local bricks and mortar shop and purchased a starter kit. It's an eGo-T 650 with a CE4 atomizer (I think? Could that be right?) Anyway, the speedy gal at the counter asked me what I usually smoked, which is Marlboro Light 100s. She gave me a taste of MLB 12, then asked...
