    Diamond batt users still rocking?

    Ok, in the interest of the common good and in case there are people out there who are almost as dense as me, I'm going to admit that for over a year I've thought that the term "center post" referred to some sort of pin-sized post in the very center of the battery, where that very small hole is...

    Nobacco Juice USA NOW AVAILABLE

    Maybe the price will drop in future due to a large sales volume and economies of scale? I really hate tobacco flavors nowadays, so it's a non-issue for me at this point. If they come out with a $20 bottle of coffee that's better than Wow Coffee, I may have to buy it. I do love my Wow Coffee.

    Best Traditional sized E-Cig?

    Me too, and it's a real shame because the products themselves are excellent.

    Best Traditional sized E-Cig?

    If you buy it from Vapor4Life it's basically the same price and both types of chargers are included. Edited to add that you should always check for a sale code from V4L before ordering. I can't remember where that info is but you can check the V4L sub-forum. I think there's an 18% off sale...

    Gotta stop reading threads

    I would buy a non-tank e-cig to minimize problems to start with. An Ego or Riva or E-power sound like solid choices given your smoking habits and stated preferences/concerns. TH is what you feel when you inhale a cigarette. I smoked lights but I found that I needed a solid TH so I could FEEL...

    Nobacco Juice USA NOW AVAILABLE

    I'm not tempted to try it at this point because I don't like tobacco flavors - and $20 for 30ml is pretty pricey, even for a US-made liquid. I'd have to read some rave reviews before I'd consider ordering at that price.

    Diamond batt users still rocking?

    Thanks for the video! I did raise the center post successfully but I'm finding that it will work only once, then it goes funky again. I still need to unscrew it to make it turn off. It's too bad because when it *does* work, it's fabulous!

    My employer banned use of e-cigs...

    The same is true of caffeine. Are they also banning coffee and cola? (Rhetorical question, of course.)

    Diamond batt users still rocking?

    It's Ms. and I think it's v2 because there's a number beginning with V and ending with 2. I've read about the post reset method and I've tried to do it but I can't make it work.

    Diamond batt users still rocking?

    My Diamond XL very quickly started acting up. It works when it wants to and it doesn't stop unless I unscrew the carto, so I rarely use it. I've never had very good luck with auto batteries. I'm not buying any more Diamonds unless/until they produce a manual version.

    Does vaping really helps to quit smoking?

    I started at 36mg and stayed there for several months before dropping down to 24mg. I've repeatedly tried to drop down to 18mg but it just doesn't work for me... yet. I remain hopeful. In the meantime, I don't stress over my nic level. I haven't smoked in close to two years, so I don't care.

    ecig not holding a charge

    I quit a 1-2 pack-a-day habit using Vapor4Life's XL manual batteries and 24mg liquid, so I know they work. I'm still vaping with them but I will say that the fatter batteries like the IGo/Ego/Riva make life much simpler. You can always use the V4L cartos and juice on one of the bigger...

    Almost there

    Yes, the juice really does satisfy as long as your nic level is high enough and you find a flavor that you like. I've probably gone through at least a dozen "favorites" in the past two years before settling in with coffee flavors as my all-day vape. All of the favorite juices were good enough...

    New User - How to stay the course?

    Honestly, I think that 10mg nic juice is probably far too low. It really doesn't matter if you only smoked half a pack a day; there's no direct correlation between former smoking habits and the nic level needed to keep the monkey off your back. If it's too harsh at higher levels you may want...

    So why the ego?

    I think that people have all sorts of different expectations of vaping, just as they did for smoking. I was the one who smoked a cig, put it out halfway, and lit it up again - because I wanted the harsh throat hit. My sister hated the harsh hit; she put cigs out halfway when they started to...

    So why the ego?

    I don't know if it's true for the Ego but I know it's true for the IGo. I lost one of my batteries this way and now I'm down to one. Luckily, it's a great battery and I'll be careful not to drop it!

    So why the ego?

    In your opinion, which 5 volt models are best in terms of reliability, affordability and ease of use? It used to be more complicated before the 510-type cartomizers came on the scene. I think that the whole atomizer + cart thing is a big turn off to many beginners - and even long-term...

    So why the ego?

    That's exactly why I vape my KR808D-1 XL manual with Wow 24mg cartos: the throat hit and taste are superb. I do have an IGo and that's 1100 mah (or 1300?) and I love it - but it seems to hit exactly the same as my V4L batteries. The only difference is that it lasts longer. I have been...

    Help Me. ..Quit reaching for an analog

    I would suggest upping the nicotine level and/or trying some strong non-tobacco flavors like coffee, peppermint, black licorice, atomic cinnacide and other strong flavors. The liquids don't do a very good job of duplicating tobacco flavors but they've nailed a lot of non-tobacco ones. I used...

    So why the ego?

    I don't know why the Ego is pushed so ferociously but newbies should understand that there are other e-cigs out there that are just as good - if not better. The KR808D-1 takes a lot of abuse here and it's unwarranted. It's a fabulous model of e-cig and it works very, very well. It is a higher...
