    what did you smoke before you started vaping?

    Standard response, you'll never find something that's the same because we aren't burning anything. That said, for a Marlboro you want an earthy tobacco flavor with a hint of chocolate. I don't know of any specific juice that fits the bill, but any of them that imply that they taste like a Marb...

    Newbie here, looking for a decent entry-level model with a PCC

    If the threads are the same, you're good to go. The Volt PCC's are great (I recommend the Mega V2, the Slider doesn't hold much). In regards to the questions I didn't quote, there are a couple of standard threadings (510 style and 808 style), and a few more less used threadings. The Volt is 808...

    Trying to figure things out: Blu, Volt, Johnson Creek and other things

    They haven't been in the bottle that long, usually. Most juice is made to order, so it's only a few days old when you get it. Some juice (mostly fruity or sweet flavors) doesn't need much or any steeping, other juices (tobacco is the big one) need at least a week, sometimes more. When it comes...

    Trying to figure things out: Blu, Volt, Johnson Creek and other things

    Let me begin by saying that I'm a dedicated Volt user, I think it's the best you can get when it comes to cig-a-likes. Some juices, especially tobacco flavors, do need some time to steep. They don't need to steep in the cartos, in the bottle is fine, but they really aren't so good until 2...

    Battery charging question

    The 300 charges means 300 charges from empty to full, but if you charge it from half way dead it only counts as half of one of those 300. So it really doesn't matter when you plug it in.

    Girl toys

    Tube mods either look like toys, or devices for using something illegal. That's why I'm already planning on getting a box mod whenever I feel like moving up from my Volt.

    Newbie here, looking for a decent entry-level model with a PCC

    I'll throw in another vote for the Volt. It's wonderful for a cig-a-like, they have a couple different PCC's available, and amazing customer service. They also have clearos that are made for the cig-sized batteries if you want to refill with liquid. I've tried other minis, but the Volt is the...

    NicQuid® NEW USA ELIQUID line Available at SI - NOW IN STOCK!

    Definitely going to try some of this soon, I'm always on the lookout for new juice. Not to mention those great looking bottles, they won't look so out of place on my desk as the normal medical/lab looking juice bottles.

    stepping down to improve vaping sucess?

    Quitting by accident is great, isn't it? :) It was kinda the same for me. I got an e-cig just to try it, see if they were better than the old ones were. I figured at best I would vape and smoke together like I had before. After a few hours of vaping, I didn't even want an analog, they suddenly...

    stepping down to improve vaping sucess?

    I think getting him a mini would be worth trying. Little psychological things can make a huge difference when it comes to dropping analogs. I use (and absolutely love) Volts because I need something close to cigarette size. I still go outside to vape most of the time, just because that was part...

    concentration of nicotene

    This was my plan for later/tomorrow, at the very least emailing the AEMSA contact line. They already have a requirement in the current standards to label nicotine concentration, all they would need to do is add a line with which units are acceptable to use.

    concentration of nicotene

    As far as I know they don't have anything in place to suggest anything yet, other than just emailing them through the contact form. Right now, it seems like they're really only talking to the vendors that have joined while they get the groundwork laid out.

    concentration of nicotene

    A standard for units (either mg/ml or %solution, as long as it's a correct unit) would be great. I think it would also help if there were some guidelines for what should be called light/medium/strong/etc., I've seen a lot of variation with that and newer vapers may go by those labels

    concentration of nicotene

    I never correct it unless it comes up, like early in the thread (it's remarkable how fast it got derailed). There wouldn't be any room for confusion if they just labeled the nicotine as percent solutions, like the gas station disposables.

    Do we really need a cord for every X2 battery?

    I don't see many people having to pay for cords though. I've got about 6 cords in arms reach right now that would work with the X2's, mini-USB is so common on anything electronic.

    concentration of nicotene

    I feel you on that, but I can't use the juice vendors' conventions because it's going against everything I've ever learned in math and science. If I came of as confrontational I apologize, my frustration here is with the juice vendors using the wrong units. Especially when the disposable e-cigs...

    concentration of nicotene

    This is what I've been talking about. I know the vendors have been labeling this way, but ejuice is labeled wrong. The vendors are using the wrong unit on everything, putting mg (total nicotine) when it should all say mg/ml (concentration of nicotine). According to science and math, Dauyd's...

    concentration of nicotene

    Actually, mg defines mass, mg/ml defines volume. The confusion, like what a lot of this thread has been, is that juice vendors are printing the wrong unit on everything. They're all using mg when they should all be using mg/ml

    concentration of nicotene

    Any comparison to analog cigarettes is really hard to do. But 1ml of juice is somewhere in the neighborhood of 5-12 cigarettes, give or take. A better way of putting it is that an average vaper will go through 2-3ml per day (a tank, maybe a tank and a half), some less and some way more, and the...

    Advice moving from Mini to Mid size.

    Their videos are great. Also check out their subforum here, they always have someone (usually Imagine) from the company there answering questions and keeping us up to date on new stuff. Their juice is ok, but you would be better off getting stuff from dedicated juice suppliers. ECBlend and...
