    I would like to know the basics ASAP so I can purchase this product

    Actually, its not really true. Tobacco companies have not really tried to block the sale of electronic cigarettes--they would rather be allowed to sell smoke-free alternatives to smokers who are unable or unwilling to completely quit using recreational nicotine/tobacco. Most of the...

    New vapers experiences with taste buds recovery

    The only real mistake you can make is assuming that your taste in vapor will be like anyone else's or that it won't change from day to day! ;) The great thing about vaping is that you can customize pretty much every aspect: Flavor, vapor production, throat hit, nicotine strength...whatever...

    Great suggestion and advice. Heaven-gifts has great prices and the best selection and good customer service. As you mention, the downside is that it can take a long time to be shipped from China. However, if you don't want to wait, the VaporCast store has the black ones in stock for only...

    ever fallen off the wagon and realized you forgot how to smoke?

    "Traditional" smoking cessation counselors will tell you to never ever do this. They'll tell you that smoking just one cigarette means you have to start over...but I found that being told that I could never ever smoke again was the biggest reason I had a hard time quitting. I could go days...

    No worries. VaporCast is a webcast that has been an ECF supporter for a long time--they recently opened a small online store to sells a few products and e-liquids that they talk about on the air...

    When do you know if E-cigs are for you?

    People that want to sell "electronic cigarettes" for $100+ and pre-filled cartridges for $2/ea want you to think that they are some super-high-tech complicated piece of machinery. The truth is that vaping is actually very simple technology: All you need is a power supply (battery), switch...

    new to vaping

    The Silver Bullet is always a great choice. However, IMO, every vaper should at least try the following setup: Genuine Joye 1000mAh XL eGo Battery w/USB (510, passthrough) - The VaporCast Store (5-pack) Dual Coil Low Resistance (1.5 ohm) 510 Cartomizer - The VaporCast Store Adam's Sin Apple...

    When do you know if E-cigs are for you?

    You aren't done until you find something you like BETTER than smoking! If you don't already, try changing something. You can try different flavors or nicotine levels on the Blu, but there are other models and different atomizers/cartomizers that most people find to be a lot more satisfying...

    Just Getting Started

    A 30ml bottle should last about as long as 2-3 cartons of cigarettes. That should hold you over for a little while, but I would strongly suggest shopping around for different flavors and nicotine strengths. Many people find their taste in vaping varies wildly from what they liked as a smoker...

    Why does vaping dehydrate me so bad?

    If you think about how very little e-liquid we use, it cant really explain the giant plumes of visible vapor we produce. When you vaporize PG and/or VG, the temperature difference causes water vapor in the air to condense just like your warm breath on a cold day. In fact, the cooler the...

    Am I missing out on flavor??

    Ohm's Law: Power (watts) = Voltage (E) * Current (I) "Low Resistance" atomizers have less surface area to draw more current and therefore produce more power to create a warmer vapor. "High Voltage" atomizers have more surface area but more power to create a thicker vapor. For example: A...

    "Like Smoke (Ruyan) #4" aka RY4 is a very unique flavor that does seem to be different, but if you have not tried the Essence line...well, you really ought to! ;) ELP's Essence, Nhaler's Octane, and PureSmoker's Tonic lines use a Made In The USA base that is...well, it's "The Good Stuff". Even...

    A noobs analytical approach to determining E-liquid strength

    +1 Referring to e-liquid strengths by "milligrams" is a bit misleading. Keep in mind that 24mg/ml is only 2.4% nicotine. Don't choose a nicotine strength based on how many cigarettes you used to smoke, base it on how you want the vapor to "feel". I personally prefer about 1% nicotine for a...

    Am I missing out on flavor??

    I have the Inferno from Volcano as well and it is great--you're doing fine and if you want some variety, as others have mentioned, try different atomizers/cartomizers/tankomizers. The "next step" is "high voltage" or variable voltage--the obvious advantage with VV is that you can turn it up or...

    Does vaping really helps to quit smoking?

    I've NEVER seen that happen. The closest I've come across is people who will only use e-cig when they can't smoke, but that invariably reduces the total number of cigarettes smoked. People generally only use the amount of nicotine they are craving and without the other habit reinforcing MAOIs...

    I haven't tried this flavor, but its hard to go wrong with ESSENCE (Essence...essence...). Give this a try and I bet the odds are good that your crystal ashtrays will start getting used for hard candy or catfood: Product Details HINT: With Essence, its a good idea choose a nicotine strength a...

    You say that like its a bad thing to reduce smoking.

    where to get a certain flavor e juice (the best) flavor!

    The most common flavor is probably Dekang "USA Mix" aka "Cowboy" or "MLB"...in other words, it is supposed to taste like the Red & White brand but hopefully avoid getting a Cease & Desist letter from Altria which could explain why it wasn't named at all.
