    Sad.

    When one spends a lot of time international, one knows that packages WILL occasionally attract the attention of customs. So no harm, no foul. The pain in the .... is, here it's a pretty bureaucratic nightmare to go about clearing a package. (I know several people who have had to take a whole...

    More importing info...

    No juice. It seems, if I'm reading their website right, that all postal shipments with a value of greater than 150000won are intended to be taxed, though we know that they miss some. The $400 customs limit we're heard is for what you can carry with you when you enter. But on shipping, it...

    E-Liquid LightHead Good Feeling buzz?

    It depends on what you mean by "buzz." THere's a relaxation, a positive "oh yeah" feeling that goes with a cigarette hitting your system. Relaxed, yet alert. I love it. Working late, energy flowing, creative, energy flowing, nicotine keeping me sharp. Absolutely LOVE it. And yeah- get that from...

    Is mixing pure nicotine to make a nic base a good idea? All sugestions and advice welcome.....

    What the moderators think, I have no idea. (about your post.) BUT. If you have to ask about how to do it, DON'T do it. Handling nicotine at that level of purity is hazardous, and calls for professional laboratory level safety precautions and procedures. (In my opinion, not just the physical...

    Apex Vapor Alpha Information Page; Have Questions, Concerns, Suggestions, New Product Requests, or Want to Ask N8T the Alpha engineer a question? Post

    I'd like to hear from others on this- I don't have an easy source for Joye atties. They are WAY expensive in this part of the world. Am I going to void my warranty if I use another company's atty on this thing?? I feel like there has to be two sides to this story, but I'm nervous. I can't...

    Sad.

    My new ultramax is just down the road. In the customs warehouse. And you wouldn't believe the number of stupid ****ing hoops it looks like I'm gonna have to jump through to get it. If I manage it, I'll let you all know how it goes... Ande

    More importing info...

    Just ordered a mod from the US, and am now working out how to get it through customs. :-) I'm a law-abiding tax-paying citizen; not gonna complain about paying what the law says. But I have to say that if they wanted to make this less convenient or more complicated, I can't imagine how they...

    November 17 - Great American Smokeout

    Don't care where I read it, I'm delighted to join you all by vaping on that day. :-) Which, of course, is something I would have been doing anyway... Ande

    Apex Vapor Alpha Information Page; Have Questions, Concerns, Suggestions, New Product Requests, or Want to Ask N8T the Alpha engineer a question? Post

    I'm a soon to be new ultramax owner, and I have a question about this. If the unit is warrantied for normal use (and it's hard to argue that putting atomizers on it isn't ordinary use), then shouldn't this be covered under waranty? I've heard these guys have great customer service... Best, Ande

    Opinion - Better to Quit or Vape?

    Only you can really find your own answer. For me, it is much better to vape than to quit. I DID quit. A lot of times. (There's usually a chuckle with this statement. Obviously, it was never a permanent quit or I couldn't repeat it.) But I found that I could go days, weeks, months and...

    OK how do you keep your stuff straight?

    I gave up on prefilling too much stuff. Got, at most, a couple of devices filled at the same time. Anything else I want to vape, I drip. :-) A minimalist

    expensive mods

    Yeah- we all have our own style. I'm (sort of) interested in the features of the Darwin. (I'd like to try one. I don't know if I'd want to own one.) But I don't like the look, at all. And if I'm gonna be sticking something in my face several times an hour, I'm gonna have to look at it. I...

    expensive mods

    Wow- I found this thread interesting in the beginning. Sorry to watch it disintegrate. Cause the fundamental question being debated here is an interesting one. Most of us, when we started vaping, started on standardized mass-produced ecigs. (I don't personally know anyone whose first buy...

    When do you know when it is time to stop buying analogs?

    Doesn't matter when you stop buying them. Just stop smokin em. :-) Keep buying the damn, things- it seems to satisfy your cravings. That was a smart ... remark. Now the serious answer: Others will say, you will know when you're ready. I say, how bout now? Just do it. It's NOT easy. BUt if...

    Survey finds 10% of S Korean children heard of e-cigs, .5% claimed past usage

    Another thought- I'd probably prefer that my daughter (the only child I have) not use tobacco products when she's older. But, given how many teenagers smoke around here, I would sure rather have her try out an ecig than a real cig. Thats the thing about harm reduction- if lower risk products...

    Mod batteries in Korea?

    Mine was the "Support Secret." Which is a rebranded overpriced 510. :-) Got me off the cigs, so I can't complain. Didn't work real well, but it still works, for what it's worth. As my jessy batteries are dying, I've been vaping it again a little this week, while waiting for my new toy to...

    Survey finds 10% of S Korean children heard of e-cigs, .5% claimed past usage

    Ah, Korea. Notice this was a study of "adolescents." (I know, everyone under the age of majority can be called a "child." But I don't care for the title of this thread- it gives the image of small children using ecigs, which is NOT what this study investigated or found.) I've spent some time...

    New York Magazine Has it's Say...

    Right there with you Poeia. As an alternative to quitting nicotine entirely, you could argue that ecigs are still the (more) dangerous option. As an alternative to continuing to smoke, it's really no contest. :-) And if I had had any luck quitting nicotine entirely, I wouldn't have ever...

    Trigger pulled

    That's a point- if we don't want to use the RES, do we need to remove it? from the design, it seems to me that if we leave it on there, empty, it won't hurt anything.... BUt whatever- this way I have two cool looks, and an extra switch. Best, Ande
