    is there such a thing as "too much vaping"

    I go through about 2 ml a day, give or take. I find that some days I vape a LOT, and others very little. Today I've barely vaped at all because I've been busy cleaning the house and getting everything ready for our camping trip tomorrow. Yesterday I barely put the PV down. I'm assuming I'll...

    Help me help my sister L2Vape

    Hmm. I know some smokers who haven't been able to vape without coughing when I let them try it. Sometimes it's just getting used to the feel of vapor in your lungs. It could also be the nic level is too high or the PG ratio is making the vapor too harsh. Hard to say. The coughing can...

    Tightness in chest, coughing on 100% pg liquid?

    If you only smoked 2 to 5 cigarettes a day, the 12mg may be too high. I smoked a half a pack a day (not lights) and my higher nicotine level juices are 11mg. Most of the day I use 6mg, the higher levels are for the morning or whenever I don't have time to vape very often. I made mistakes on...

    I'm Going To Start Tomorrow !!!

    My first day vaping was with a disposable Blu. It calmed the nic fits, but didn't taste as good or feel as close to smoking as I had hoped. I was a little discouraged in the beginning because I didn't enjoy vaping as much as I thought I would. After an extensive juice quest to find the right...

    Hi all, new member here

    I love the X2 batteries. The passthrough option is great for when I'm vaping by my computer (which is most of the day).

    Tightness in chest, coughing on 100% pg liquid?

    I have a bit of a hard time with 100% PG. It's far too harsh for my tastes. The coughing may be caused by quitting cigarettes, though. I had a lot of coughing fits when I switched, and have heard that's it's because your respiratory system is beginning to repair itself. Cilia are growing...

    Why did you get into vaping? How did you find out about vaping?

    I got into vaping as a healthier alternative to smoking* (this statement not approved by the FDA) :laugh: I don't go out much, don't pay much attention to billboards or ads, and only have one family member who smokes, so my first exposure to e-cigs was from television and movies. The first...

    Battery became extremely hot, then died

    It seems silly to keep replying to my own thread, but I just wanted to explain more of the situation if anyone reads this. The fine people at Smokeless Image have determined that the incident did not involve the lithium battery, but was likely a short in the circuitry for the USB connection...

    SUGGESTION BOX - Feedback Thread

    I somehow got a drop of nicquid in my eye when blowing through a cartomizer to clear out the center. I have NO idea how it happened, but it hurt like hell. I close my eyes whenever I have to blow out stray nicquid now.

    Strange Battery Short-Out

    The bottom was the only part that got hot. Plugging it in was certainly a stupid move on my part. It was largely motivated by desperation, as I have a long camping trip coming up in two days and the loss of the 1300 is going to make it tough. The video thing made me laugh. Thanks! :laugh:

    Battery became extremely hot, then died

    I posted this in the Smokeless Image forum and got this reply: So if anyone reads my post, don't be stupid like I was. :facepalm:

    Strange Battery Short-Out

    I already got a response from SI. They've immediately put in an order for a replacement and said I should just dispose of the old one. As for getting the battery wet, the only way that could have happened was if liquid from the clearomizer got into it. The clearos do flood sometimes, but from...

    Strange Battery Short-Out

    :ohmy: I thought I was just being overly paranoid about the possibility of it exploding. I'm glad nothing happened and will definitely be more careful in the future!

    Strange Battery Short-Out

    I recently got a 1300mAh X2 from Smokeless Image. All of their products have worked great so far and the only other issue I've had was sorted out quickly through customer service. I'll be returning this one soon for a replacement, but am just curious as to what might have happened. I was...

    how do people you speak to see the PV?

    Most of my family and friends are fine with it and prefer me vaping as opposed to smoking. My step-sister is still a smoker, but uses an ecig occasionally. I'm trying to get her a better set up to try to sway her towards vaping more. Strangers seem to fit into three categories. 1) They have...

    Cartomizer Burnt Taste?

    I did the same thing this weekend. As you may notice from my signature, I've been vaping for a little over a month. That's how long it took me to get tired of constantly topping off my cartomizers.

    clearomizers/carts questions from a new volt owner

    If you really don't want to try dripping, cartomizers and clearomizers aren't a terrible idea. Cartomizers are cheap enough that I don't mind "wasting" one to try a juice I've bought. I already spent some money on the juice sample, so the cartomizer cost is just part of that. Clearomizers...

    clearomizers/carts questions from a new volt owner

    Try these three items to get yourself an atomizer/dripping set up. I agree that it's the best option for testing juice. Your e-cig is a different threading (connector size) than most atomizers, so you'll need an adapter to fit a 510 atomizer. They are extremely cheap (less than $2). You can...
