    new to this rodeo

    No such thing as a rookie mistake if it gets off the cigs. And, yep, I can see where this could turn into quite the hobby. I can't wait to make my second purchase :)

    Hello All!

    Welcome to ECF! Sorry to hear about the charger - how disappointing. I couldn't wait to get my first kit, if I'd had faulty hardware I would have been crushed.

    Newbie looking for guidance (and answers)

    Lots of good suggestions here, I hope it doesn't all get to confusing! I just want to add a couple notes, and I'll leave you alone with your decisions: 1) make sure you have at least two batteries. Most kits come with two. You don't want to be waiting to vape while you're recharging! 2) for...

    Newbie looking for guidance (and answers)

    Good for you, and welcome to ECF! Everyone's experience is different, but when I picked up my eGo, I put down the cigs. Two and a half weeks and counting. This is not a testament to my willpower - I've only once lasted more than a day trying to go cold turkey. 1/2+PAD for fifteen years, so not...

    Why would anyone want to use 3.3v on an eGo Variable instead of 4.xv?

    So we have something to look forward to? That's what I'm telling myself. Much better than "I didn't know better" :) EDIT: That said, I've been very happy with my eGo-C. I consider it 90% of smoking, with lots of additional perks.

    Are We All Just Test Subjects?

    I can't echo BluGlen's sentiments upthread enough. I know this isn't answering the OP, but after doing as much research as was possible, I very quickly came to the conclusion that whatever unknown risks I was taking on, I was more than happy to to get off cigs. In just two weeks, my quality of...

    A business question about and for ecig suppliers.

    I somehow missed it in the OP, that this was a gateway and not a bank. I'm a bit perplexed at why a gateway would be that...arbitrary. Does make one wonder. Bothers me a lot that there are these unaccountable restraints on trade between parties, when that trade hasn't been deemed illegal. "There...

    A business question about and for ecig suppliers.

    Paypal has been a crapshoot since they started. They got traction being first, and being very easy to set up, but they've always had a reputation for freezing accounts for no apparent reason, no explanation and no recourse. I would never advise doing business with them. Hard to know what goes...

    She stole my eGo-c!!!

    That's hilarious. And awesome. One of my biggest surprises has been how much I like the non-tobacco flavours. Yeah, yeah, everyone tells you that you will, but you don't believe it, and then you vape some vanilla. Or chocolate. Or hazelnut...

    Happy anniversary to me!! Over one year and counting off the analogs!! A thank you

    Damnit, I got some dust in my eye. I really liked what kuklaki said. When I was researching e-cigs, stories like yours were a bit part of what got me to take the plunge. It's important for people to know that these things can work. Congratulations to you and your dad!

    Newbie here, wife bought me a V2.

    Vaporgeek has the same ones, they're a buck more. They're in BC - *might* make one day shipping difference. As far as I know there are no Alberta suppliers. Abanler - yes, you can clean and refill them a few times. Not sure how much life you can get out of them (and always have spares - they're...

    Newbie here, wife bought me a V2.

    What Off Topic said - I'm new and have a different set up than you do, so I'm not familiar with refilling cartomizers. If someone familiar with the V2 could chime in - will these blank cartomizers fit the V2? I don't think that Jugheads sells the carts you need. The juice comes in eyedropper...

    Newbie here, wife bought me a V2.

    A fellow Albertan! Welcome! For Canadian ordering, I'll second Vapoor eyes er's recommendations. Those are where I ordered my first stuff a couple of weeks ago. They were very helpful at Canvape, even answering questions over the labour day weekend. I got a wide selection of juices from...

    Atomizer temperatures unreasonably high

    Chriskarr, what you say makes sense. I'm having trouble reconciling the temperatures reported in the above linked thread (especially the one where the temperature was measured directly via probe rather than infrared). Those don't seem near high enough to reach boiling. Entirely possible I'm...

    Atomizer temperatures unreasonably high

    Should have read more before demonstrating my ignorance :) MSD Sheet for PG at DOW This lists the heat of evaporation (which I think is what we want?) at 25 °C (77 °F)

    Atomizer temperatures unreasonably high

    Perhaps unsurprisingly, google brought me right back to ECF. These threads might be interesting: A Somewhat Scientific Test of the electrial properties of different MODS Propylene Glycol Vaporization/Atomizer Temp?? One thing I'm not quite getting is that the boiling point of PG (according to...

    Been 4 days as a new vaper. Can't seem to find answers for a few things.

    I'm very new, but I've got two cents :) I got the eGo C last week, that puts out 3.3v, and I'm using a standard resistance Kanger (which I believe is 2.2 - 2.4v, no?) and I'm getting a pretty smooth vape out of it. Could maybe try turning the Twist *down* a couple notches? The notes about...

    My Introduction to the Vaping World

    Beginnings are important things. Thank you for the thoughtful introduction. In the short week that I've been on these boards - which are full of informative and helpful people - I have learned two things: 1) Everyone's cigarette story is different, and everyone's story is the same, 2) Relax...

    Just Starting

    Either kit that vsummer1 or drewbalicious linked are good starters. (I went with a kit because I didn't want to get the package and discover I'd missed something I didn't know about). I would emphasize that you should make sure you have a second battery. The DiscountVapours kit just has one, so...

    So New Member and Convert, So Far..

    Rule #1: what works for you, works for you. Stick with it, and *enjoy*. I managed to get of cigs for 6 months once, and managed to fall back on them again. After a week of vaping, I know absolutely that's not going to happen this time, because I like this so much more than smoking. It's not a...
