    Vaping & Bleeding Gums

    My gums started bleeding about 3-4 days after my last cigarette. As others have said, it could be giving up analogs that's causing it.

    Wondering what is THE BEST Automatic E-cig that looks like a real cigarette

    Just another happy Volt customer chiming in. I tried out a Blu kit first and the batteries didn't last long at all. I had just quit analogs so I was vaping like crazy and I ran one of the two batteries down while the second was still recharging. Nothing like the 72mm Volt battery, which I...

    Get your FREEBIE - FACES of VOLT Smokeless Image

    Well here's my mug to add to the list. :blush: Just let me know if you need a better shot (The Volt cartridge box is barely in the picture).

    Want to switch to Vaping is this a good choice? Clueless newbie here :D

    Just a tip. Don't buy large bottles of e-liquid just yet. I was also a menthol smoker so I figured I'd definitely like menthol juices, but I hated most of the ones I ordered. My suggestion would be to hold off on buying any bottles larger than 10ml until you know for certain you like the...

    New to Vaping and Overwhelmed (like so many)

    I just started vaping last week and got the Blu starter kit before finding this wonderful forum. The Blu was a disappointment, but thankfully the kind folks here talked me into switching to the Volt. It's been much better than the Blu for me. As for automatic vs. manual, I actually prefer the...

    Did my ecig just 'shock' me?

    Thanks! I did this earlier on my own from reading a guide, but it had you do it from the opposite end, so the battery side was facing up. The problem with that was that I couldn't see the filler material, or know if it had gotten high enough. The way the guy does it in this video is much better.

    New - Still Awaiting Shipment

    Thanks for the advice. I'll hold off on vaping until I start craving an analog, and do it like you both suggested. I didn't know any of it got absorbed in the mouth, so that's helpful. I suppose that's why people smoke cigars the way they do. I always wondered what the point of it was if they...

    New - Still Awaiting Shipment

    I was surprised to find the Volt batteries were already charged (well, they're working, anyway), so I'm just waiting for the PCC to finish up so I can check the amount of charge they have. I was vaping happily for about an hour, though the vapor seemed pretty harsh. I vaped more carefully...

    Is it the juice or the atty, or something else?

    I just got my Volt and started vaping with it about 30 minutes ago. My first two drags were incredibly painful, but then I realized I was using it like a cig, pulling air in unnecessarily fast and taking big hits. I'm now taking just the tiniest puffs and inhaling a lot of air afterwards...

    New - Still Awaiting Shipment

    Hurray! My volt arrived on time and one of my eliquids arrived early. I was so worried about vaping after getting sick from the Blu flavors, but I have a good feeling I'll like some of the ones I just got. For one thing, the Blu carts themselves smelled awful to me. The menthol eliquid I...

    New - Still Awaiting Shipment

    My Volt kit should arrive sometime within the next two hours. I'm waiting like a kid on Christmas. I had what I hope to be my last analog this morning. Aside from that, I have a few questions (if anyone is still checking this thread). I ordered some VG liquids, not realizing they might mess...

    Are most juices bad?

    Reading this thread is both comforting and worrisome at the same time. I got sick of my Blu kit carts yesterday. I mean physically ill. I couldn't even handle the smell from the charging pack or batteries (and definitely not the carts themselves) without feeling nauseous. I had noticed a bad...

    E-Liquids tasting like Chlorine?

    I may have found the culprit. Blu E-Cig Review: Bad Taste I boxed the starter kit back up and got all the paperwork filled out to return it. I was planning on doing this when I got the Volt, anyway, but I'm not using it again no matter how long I have to wait. It is seriously bad. *edit to...

    E-Liquids tasting like Chlorine?

    I started vaping 3 days ago with Blu. Now all their flavors make me so nauseous, I can't even handle smelling the carts. After vaping for a few minutes, I feel like my mouth and throat are coated in Chlorine, like I swam in a pool too long and swallowed some water. My eyes and nose are...

    Day 3 - Feeling Sick

    From classwife's post linking the health forum, I found an incredibly helpful thread. List of Symptoms When Quitting Tabacoo/Changing to E-cigs Maybe this could be stickied in the New Member's forum? I haven't been around long enough to know how often new members ask about this topic, or...

    Day 3 - Feeling Sick

    I'm using "full flavor" carts from Blu atm. They're 16 mg. I've got a Volt arriving on Monday with ten 18 mg carts, and awaiting several bottle of 12mg from various vendors. I figured the strength would be OK since I wasn't a heavy smoker. I smoked an average of 5-7 cigs a day.

    Day 3 - Feeling Sick

    Just some additional information. I've been drinking loads of water and because I wasn't feeling too good yesterday, I vaped much less. I thought maybe the symptoms were because I was doing it too much. That didn't make sense though because the vaping never made me feel jittery or dizzy. I...

    Day 3 - Feeling Sick

    I woke up today feeling awful. My sinuses hurt. My lungs hurt. My chest feels tight. I'm coughing. I'm tired. I just feel terrible. I thought it must be the vaping, maybe a sensitivity to PG, but then I found this on nicotine withdrawal. Physical withdrawal from nicotine is temporary...

    New - Still Awaiting Shipment

    Thanks for the Vapordudes link, Mroutlaw. The carts I ordered from SI were the plain mint, rather than the menthol or the mix. From the site you suggest for liquids, I ordered 3 small bottles, 11mg strength, and 30/70 mix (thinking I might like VG better). The flavors I chose were Spearmint...
