    Going through withdraw

    Too many newbies stress about the nicotine level and jeopardize their quitting because of it. Why on earth are you worried about your nic level when even at 24mg you would be taking in far, far less nicotine than you would if you were smoking? Use the nic level you need to take away the...

    kgo battery

    Also remember that your KGO may have the 5-click on/off function. If you hold the button down and you get nothing, it may be in locked mode.

    manual or automatic - which do you prefer?

    Definitely a manual. I don't like the automatics. The manual gives you better control and just vapes better.

    If cigarettes directly kill millions of people every year, why doesnt it get banned?

    I don't think it's the government's role to ban tobacco or smoking. They presume too much already. I am an adult and I vote to elect political representatives, not nannies. Lately they seem to be forgetting exactly why they're in office. I give you Mayor Bloomberg as Exhibit A. They need to...

    Bipolar disorder. My story, smoking.

    That was a great story you shared; it took guts. I am blessed because I have no issues myself but I do have a child (now an adult) who is bi-polar and I understand and empathize with a lot of what has been discussed in this thread. Life can be very, very difficult when you suffer from this...

    New to ECF, question about first purchase..

    I think the dual coils on an Ego really strain the battery and give a harsh vape in the process. I don't even like to use them on my KGO and it's a better, stronger battery than the Ego. For an Ego, you may want to stay at 2ohms or above.

    Bought my 2nd E Cig kit today. Eonsmoke is the best i've tried.

    I just Googled it and it looks like it's your typical overpriced mini-ecig - a ripoff. You're overspending and getting an inferior product. I would strongly suggest that you check out the KGO and LR cartomizers, then buy your own juice and refill them yourself to save a boatload of money and...

    Burnt taste from cartomizer

    It sounds like you let it get too dry and it burnt. It's no good now - throw it away and use a fresh cartomizer. Also, a few days may be the life of the carto; some juices shorten the life of cartos, especially if they're high-VG.

    New to ECF, question about first purchase..

    Do you know the ratio of PG to VG in your e-juice? The higher the PG, the higher the throat hit. Many out there re 80/20 or 70/30, and that may be too much PG for you. Try to find something at 50/50 - lots of places let you choose the ratio. You may even want to try an all-VG juice which...

    Coffee Flavor, who makes the best?

    All of the coffee flavors from Virgin Vapor: Kona Coffee Milkshake and Espresso (both out of stock), Caramel Kona Milkshake, Kona Velvet Milkshake, Coffee Monkey, and my favorite of them all, Dark Roast Turkish Coffee.

    Neeeeed that Throat Kick!

    I agree that you should get a stronger e-cig. The Ego has a lower voltage than the KGO and the mods listed above. Also, your e-juice may be part of the problem. Try some different vendors. I was surprised to find that the juices from Virgin Vapor @ 70/30 have a great throat hit - and they...

    Stuck in a rut.

    I think I'm going to continue to recommend the KGO over the Ego Twist because I've been vaping my Twists since yesterday and I honestly don't understand the appeal of variable voltage. Maybe that's because I tend to like vaping at ~4.0 for all of my juices and a KGO with a LR carto is a perfect...

    So in I wander...

    1. I have no idea what 21C is. Some sort of search engine? 2. You add the liquid to the cartomizer in drops, then pop a drip tip on and vape. I don't think it can get much simpler than that - and yes, it's cheaper to DIY but I've never bothered because it's already so much cheaper to vape...

    Any BENIFITS? / Gifts? from Being a NON SMOKER?....How do you feel?

    I'm closing in on 3 years of vaping and not smoking, after 37+ years of being a heavy smoker. I grew up surrounded by smokers. To me, it was normal to smell that gross after-smell. Now, I can smell someone smoking from far away. I can smell smokers on the elevator. I can tell immediately...

    newbie MINI or KGO / EGO?...Still can't decide!

    I'd suggest that you go with the KGO. The Volt is great but it's still a mini and it sounds like you may need something with a bit more oomph over the long haul. The experience of the KGO with LR cartomizers is very much like smoking a real cigarette.

    Looking at signatures

    Remember, too, that if someone quit a year or two ago the prices were lower still and the signature uses the prices from the quit date.

    DAMMIT!...lol...Somebody reccomend a unit for a 36 year Camel (now Drum) smoker?...HELP

    With your limited budget, you'll be wasting a lot of money buying the two kits you've mentioned. Given your smoking habits, they won't be good enough. I would recommend either the KGO or EGO Twist, a minimum of two batteries, cartomizers (Smoketech XL 1.7ohm for the KGO and a higher ohm for...

    Reducing nic from 18mg to 12mg

    I wouldn't rush the nicotine reduction at this stage because it could jeopardize your transition from analogs to e-cigs. It took me almost two years to go from 36mg to 24mg! I've managed to drop to 16-18mg now but I find that if I go lower for more than an occasional vape session, I am not a...
