    Vapor quite a bit more harsh on my throat than smoking?

    Echoing what others have said, you should probably lower your nicotine strength. A lot of new vapers make the mistake of choosing a nicotine strength based on what or how much they used to smoke, but really you should generally try to vape the lowest amount of nicotine that "scratches the itch"...

    Am I really a Vaper?

    It sounds like you might do well with an eGo-T. As others have mentioned, its a bit bigger than a cigarette, but only about the size of a cigar or pen. The "T" stands for "Tank" because it was designed specifically around a "tankomizer" which allows you to simply remove the rubber cap, fill...

    Honeyville Vapor

    My order from HoneyVille arrived a few days ago too. It took a long time and I was starting to worry, but its hard to complain about getting 15 samples for $10 including shipping. I haven't had a chance to try them all yet, but I've found a few that I really like so far: As others have...

    Help, I'm relapsing!

    Although I don't really care for oral tobacco, I keep a tin of Snus or a pack of dissolvables around for the rare occassion that I'm craving a "real" cigarette and/or am unable to vape for some reason. Many people find that the additional tobacco alkaloids (including some MAO inhibitors) that...

    Advantages/Disadvantages of dripping?

    You pretty much nailed the advantages and disadvantages of dripping! The advantage is that it produces the best flavor and throat hit possible from your atomizer. The disadvantage is that it doesn't last very long before you have to refill and it can get a little messy....That's why we use Drip...

    Need someone in the know! Got $100, time to upgrade. Joye510 or DSE900? Or other?

    There are a few automatic versions of the eGo and knockoffs--I actually have one automatic eGo battery, but it has bad threading. If you are looking for "hands-free" then you'd probably want to stick to the "mini" batteries that are light enough to hold in your mouth like a cigarette...

    Why Do e-cig sites look like GeoCities

    LOL@ the old-skool Geocities reference. :rickroll: *hamsterdance* :rickroll: Many e-cig vendors don't do much but minimal customization of off-the-shelf shopping cart software. Remember there are two kinds of vendors: Those who don't personally vape and just look at the e-cig market as a...

    Need someone in the know! Got $100, time to upgrade. Joye510 or DSE900? Or other?

    Between those two, I would definitely choose the 510...but I would recommend that you try a slightly larger battery so that you aren't constantly having to swap and can enjoy a more consistent vape. I *highly* recommend the 1000mAH eGo-T battery with USB passthru because it allows you to...

    vaping 60mg help- and also 'hello' from the newbie

    Correction: You are citing what the anti-nicotine prohibitionists "experts" (who are paid by pharmaceutical companies) are stating. You should ask them how many 21mg patches it takes to kill a 100kg person? How many 1.63% nicotine cigarettes? How many pieces of 4mg gum?

    vaping 60mg help- and also 'hello' from the newbie

    If 40mg of nicotine is deadly to adults, then one teaspoon of 1% nicotine e-liquid would be fatal. There's an average of 16.3mg of nicotine in one cigarette. There have been THOUSANDS of small children who have eaten cigarettes and gotten rather sick, but none have died--how do you explain...

    vaping 60mg help- and also 'hello' from the newbie

    There are 1000milligrams in one gram. One milliliter weighs one gram. Therefore, 60mg/ml=6% How does using the LD50 of nicotine translate into a lethal dose without accounting for the time it takes to ingest, the body's ability to reject an overdose, or the half-life of the toxin? I...

    vaping 60mg help- and also 'hello' from the newbie

    I don't think 6% nicotine is nearly as dangerous as some here have made it sound. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone and I'm not sure I understand why the OP thinks he needs it that strong, but he is right that vaping 1ml of 5.4% is like vaping 2ml of 2.7%. He'll need to be more careful with...

    How safe are batteries for 6v mods these days?

    I've tried a few different ones, but I'm not sure if they were all SmokeTech or not, but the SmokeTechs are quite worthy. The VaporCast Store has them for just $10 for a box of 5 here: (5-pack) Dual Coil Low Resistance (1.5 ohm) 510 XL Cartomizer - The VaporCast Store If you want a wider...

    FSA TPSAC meeting now focussing on dissolvable tobacco products

    Maybe Connolly is a "true believer", but a close look at the slides he presented shows the specious data and illogic behind his rantings: Presentation to TPSAC FDA on Dissolvable Tobacco Products Gregory N. Connolly, D.M.D., M.P.H. P1. Title P2. "Over the past few years, the cigarette...

    E-Cigarette Forum Discussion Thread

    Trying Snus is a decent way to figure out if you're going to like dissolvables or not...it's a very similar experience. I can't generally handle that much nicotine in my mouth for very long before I'm ready to toss it--which is what I really liked about the Camel Strips when they were test...

    Are 808D and 901 the same thing?

    The threading on 808D cartomizers IS the same as the threading used on 901 atomizers. HOWEVER, it is important to remember that some 808D cartomizers do not have an airhole and may require an adapter to get airflow with some batteries/passthrus. 901 Battery to 808-D Atomizer adapter As...

    Fatal Dose of Nicotine?

    On the poisoning issue it is important not to fall for the myth that e-cigarettes contain more nicotine than traditional cigarettes...they actually contain almost the exact same amount of nicotine. 1g of commercial cigarette tobacco actually contains an average of 16.3mg of nicotine, but the...
