    vaping on the cheap

    Indeed...rebuildables are the only way we can currently gain any sort of quality control in our vaping supplies. Six is also spot on about spending a little more to save in the long run. I've been using 2 HH long barrels and a Bulli atty for the past few months for my drip sessions and in that...

    Quality Control?

    The complaint isn't with vaping, it's with the apparently non-existent QA standards of some vaping supplies manufacturers. I'm sure there is NOT 100% testing going on, because since the first of this year I have accumulated in a dead box 27 cartomizers, 3 attys, and one battery. 15 of the...

    Quality Control?

    Wow...gotta be honest...there's a lot of automation that could be done there to reduce the labor costs....Interesting nonetheless.

    First day with zero analogs!

    Way to go, Tanks! You're way ahead of a lot of nOObs by researching and getting the right tools for the job. Good on ya!

    Quality Control?

    I don't see it as "nationalistic" at all, so long as it's not an issue of trying to say you MUST buy American because otherwise you're un-American, etc. which I know is NOT where you're coming from. I'm always excited to see small American businesses stepping up to the plate and working hard to...

    WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control

    Thanks for the link. I am sick and tired of Nannies who think they know what's best for me crafting laws and regulations that ultimately end up doing the opposite of what they expect. And when their little plans don't work? "Well, we weren't restrictive enough. We need more laws and...

    Quality Control?

    I'd also like to see some of the Big Name Reviewers who have a following and a reputation in the community get behind this harder than they do. Instead of putting a little CASAA logo at the end of your 15 minute review, how's about skipping a review and talk about these issues? I've never...

    Bars and Pubs - your help needed

    I'm afraid that people won't act until they have to re-act these days. Instead of trying to be proactive, they're happy to wait until they need to get re-active, and oft-times, that's too late. Cheers for trying, though. Like many things, maybe it just needs to be repeated and repeated and...

    Quality Control?

    Vaping products are hardly rocket science...we're talking about a coil and some sort of wick, after all. Some variations, but it is what it is. I believe the biggest part of the problem is that American business can no longer effectively plan ahead or even attempt to innovate beyond certain...

    Bars and Pubs - your help needed

    I love the flash mob idea...a hundred or more folks show up at the local pub, ask if they can vape while they drain a pint and if they're told no, watch the proprietor's face crash as they all say "right" and then leave.

    Inhale?

    Another vote for in the mouth first, then inhale...but that's how I smoked cigarettes. Quite often I find myself "French" inhaling...it seems to enhance the taste of the juice...especially ones with complex flavors.

    Attys vs carts vs tanks

    Grab yourself a couple of HHs and maybe a Bulli rba. Great for juice sampling. My HHs last on average about two to three weeks each (when I'm at home I only drip, which means they get used about 4-6 hours a day on average and more on weekends), and the Bulli I've had about a month and haven't...

    Attys vs carts vs tanks

    Right now I use Cisco spec attys, vivi novas and T3s exclusively. I finally sent cartos packing when the vivi nova and lately, the T3 came around. I'm first and foremost a dripper...I keep a number of Cisco spec attys around for that. Cartos were OK for those times when I couldn't drip, like...

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

    I have a ProVari, Lavatube and a couple other gizmos; but to be honest, 60% of my vaping is on a eGo-style Twist battery with cartos and lately, vivi novas and T3s. And I still keep a Volt kit around for those times when hauling out even a fairly discrete setup like an eGo is not discrete enough...

    Greetings everyone / My take on e-cigs and some advice please?

    Most everyone is right; you will probably never find an e-juice that tastes just like a cigarette...because the majority of the tobacco in cigarettes has been mashed, pulverized, mixed with chemicals, stems, dust and even returned, out of date cigarettes made previously and processed into a...

    Favorite Reviewers

    We've all got one or two; and let's face it...some are pretty darn good, others aren't, and some should be put out of our misery. In any event, who are your top 3 ecig reviewers and a short bit on why? So OK, I'll start. 1.SteelJan: She's kinda quirky and funny, but she's very knowledgeable...

    Can Somebody Explain This ?

    Sounds like the perfect time for some budding entrepreneurs to open up an e-cig shop in Israel! :-)

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

    I'm sure you'll make do just fine. You can always pick up another any old time! Keep 'em charged so you're not tempted to stop at the minimart for a pack! You can pick up car charger USB gizmos cheap at almost any store...another great must-have....

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

    You can hit their website for the addy...they're near downtown on Orange Avenue about 2 or 3 miles south of Florida Hospital. When I was at Halloween Horror Nights at Universal last month I can't begin to tell you how many vapers I saw...everything from ProVaris to Roughstacks and tons of eGos...

    quit smoking

    What everyone else said...you'd don't to impress us or feel you've got to live up to anything. Do what is right for you and the rest comes easy. If you need to have a cig now and again, even if it's just to remind you why you want to give 'em up, go for it. I've known lots of hardcore vapers...
