    Fired for ecig use

    That was the reason I was given. I suspect it may be related to the fact that their newest 911 contract did not require anywhere near the level of resources which they had initially believed it would, and they were attempting to find reasons to terminate new hires. Dedicating 5 ambulances to a...

    Fired for ecig use

    The really interesting part is that two of the other paramedics there who were analog smokers, and one who had quit smoking two years ago, were asking a lot of questions and were planning on ordering ecigs too. The one who had quit was especially interested when he found out you could get 0 nic...

    Do I have to use a drip tip with a carto?

    You don't need to, but many (including me) prefer to. There are lots of different styles of drip tips though. Look around and see if you can find one you like.

    Fired for ecig use

    I'm not sure if this is the right section for this, but I figure it's as good as any. I rececently started a new job, about 2.5 weeks ago. Yesterday I was called into the operations director's office, and told that they've decided to terminate my employment. No discussion, no questions, just...

    Problem with my P16

    Thanks for the quick response. I managed to get it working again. It seems the contacts on the box of Boge cartos I have is a bit looser than usual. Used a pair of small needle nose pliers to gently pull it out a bit, and all is good now. Gave the connector on my P16 a blast of pressurized steam...

    Problem with my P16

    My P16 seems to have suddenly stopped working. I put a new carto on, and it wouldn't fire, just got really hot when I hit the button. Assuming it was just a bad carto, I tried another with the same result. So then I put on the carto I had just been using all morning before deciding to switch...

    Is there another term used besides vaping?

    I've used that before, but then being in the medical field we have to give everything important sounding names... Even when I smoked, I used to say I was going outside for my respiratory therapy. ;)

    Why I'm going back to smoking cigarettes

    The thing you seem to be missing here is that cartomizers and atomizers are disposable. They are not meant to last. It's like saying that you bought a pack of cigarettes, and you have to keep buying more because they all burn up... I use Boge 2.0 cartomizers myself, they cost under $2 each and...

    What describes your political ideology best?

    In a way yes. It's a concept that was proposed in a book by Robert A. Heinlein. Here's a link regarding it: An Analysis of 'Rational Anarchy'

    No choice for Rational Anarchist? :(

    What’s your Favorite WATT?

    I find between 7 and 9 watts works well for me depending on the juice I'm vaping.

    How NOT to maintain your Mod...

    I wonder how well my P16 would hold up to that kind of punishment... I'm sure it would at least scratch it up a bit. EDIT: oh wait, I forgot the Prodigy is stainless steel too.

    E juice tastes like plastic/perfume.

    Everyone's perception of taste is different. Personally, I can't stand the taste of ketchup, but obviously it's quite popular. What's important is that you find something that you enjoy. That's why I never really have much trust in reviews of different juices. You really need to try them out...

    BOGE 510 Cartomizers

    The best way is to use a syringe.

    BOGE 510 Cartomizers

    At first I did check them, and every one from my first box tested out to 2.0 exactly. Every once in a while I'll test one and the new ones are almost always 2.0. Maybe I just have good luck.

    BOGE 510 Cartomizers

    Considering 6v in a 2 ohm carto is producing 18 watts, I'm really not surprised...

    E juice tastes like plastic/perfume.

    Are you dripping, or using carts? How old is the atty? Have you tried cleaning it? If using carts, what type of filler? You may simply need some good fresh filler.

    jogging = impossible

    There's a whole (rather long) thread on VG here. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/health-safety-e-smoking/2205-vegetable-glycerine-glycerol-safety-discussion.html To be honest, I haven't actually read the whole thing myself. Mostly because I'm perfectly happy vaping PG (and enjoying the...

    BOGE 510 Cartomizers

    Add another vote for the wonderful Boge 2.0 cartos. It's pretty much all I use on my P16 these days.

    E juice tastes like plastic/perfume.

    Did you get the normal flavor, or double flavor from DIY Flavor Shack? I've been vaping Dawn's juices exclusively for the last year now, and they're definitely the best I've found in my not so humble opinion. Maybe you should try a stronger flavor (I always go with the double flavor option...
