    Tucking your PV in at night. Do you have a routine yet?

    I don't have any sort of routine. I charge my batteries every once in a while, rarely draining them completely, but I don't have a set "charging time." I vape in bed while watching TV and I figure I'm doing pretty good on the nights I remember to set it on my nightstand instead of falling...

    I'm getting sick-sore throat, bronchial sensitivity. Wondered how to keep vaping and then I tried.....

    The nicotine content can make vapor fairly harsh. When I first started vaping, I tried 18mg nic and it was like you described. I could only take tiny puffs and even then, it hurt my throat. Since then I have also found that some flavors just do this on their own, but the nicotine level seems...

    A friend is looking for a good cigarette type pv. Any suggestions?

    MrOutlaw's estimation on the Volt battery life between charges is probably more accurate than mine and his video is outstanding. Have your friend watch it and I'm sure he'll learn a lot. I'll stop spamming this thread now :blush: Best of luck to both of you!

    A friend is looking for a good cigarette type pv. Any suggestions?

    Oh, I think the others are the bloog and max fusion? The Volt is an 808 threading and the bloog and max fusion are probably 510. Therefore, they would be compatible with any equipment you're using on the eGo (the Volt would need an adapter to use 510 products). Just something to keep in mind...

    A friend is looking for a good cigarette type pv. Any suggestions?

    A common recommendation for a good cig-sized PV is the Volt from Smokeless Image. There are two or three other brands in this category and please believe me when I say I can't remember the brand names (of course there are dozens of brands in this size, but there are a handful that are...

    more power = heart palpitations

    I get heart palpitations occasionally. I looked it up once but now I can't remember the exact name. It said it was fairly common and both caffeine and nicotine can trigger them (something technical about the muscle cells and polarity and how stimulants can mess with it so that the wrong chamber...

    Bipolar disorder. My story, smoking.

    It's funny that you mention this. I've gained just about 40 pounds since I started taking the seroquel. It's been hard to adjust to because I was underweight for my entire life up to this point, and now I'm officially overweight. This is one thing my husband is not supportive with. He's very...

    Bipolar disorder. My story, smoking.

    My university sent out an email when they first instituted the smoking ban. The email gave statistics on smokers that I found quite offensive, such as smokers have a lower IQ, are more likely to drop out, have lower grades, and are more likely to suffer from a mental illness. I'm surprised a...

    Bipolar disorder. My story, smoking.

    Just to add more to the conversation: It took a very long time for me to find the right doctor and the correct medications. I'd go through phases that lasted years where I'd just give up trying to find a solution. I couldn't hold down a job and I didn't have a social life. I was alone for...

    Bipolar disorder. My story, smoking.

    I liked your post. I suffer from a panic disorder that has led to agoraphobia. It's hard living with mental health issues because friends and family have a hard time understanding it. My husband finally figured out I'm not just being "lazy" when I don't run errands. In fact, he's really...

    Let’s talk JUICE!!

    I just got two orders today, one from SI and the other from ECBlend. SI made a mistake with the order, but it was a good mistake. I got everything I ordered as well as two packs of 6mg Mint cartos. Now I thought I didn't like any SI flavors, figuring it was the PG/VG ratio, not to mention...

    Is VapeDudes juice as good as their service?

    I love Vapedudes. They were my favorite e-liquid vendor, but I just got my first package from ECBlend and was quite impressed (faster shipping and more options). That's not to say I've abandoned Vapedudes. I'd say they're at least tied for first place. Besides, Vapedudes make my all-time...

    ECBlend

    I'm on my second "juice-quest" and just ordered from ECBlend for the first time. I got seven sampler bottles for a very nice price and the processing/shipping was insanely fast. When I got my package, I noticed they'd thrown in another sample for free. Yay! Although their website was a...

    Looking For Realistic E Cigarette

    The biggest problem with your specifications is wanting the cartomizer end to look like the filter of a cigarette (easy to do), but wanting it to have the benefits of a tank system. You're not going to find a tank that looks like the filter end of a cigarette. You either have to use...

    X2 Charge Time

    My X2's take forever to charge on USB ports and especially my laptop. I mean 8 hours or more and I don't even drain them completely before charging. I recently purchased the 1.5A wall adapter and it's really shocking how much faster the X2's charge on it. I didn't even get it for that...

    ✰✰✰ CONTEST ✰✰✰ BEST VAPE OF SUMMER! ✰✰✰ $200 in Prizes ✰✰✰

    Entry #6 I almost forgot about my camping trip a few months ago. I had worried during the planning stage that my vaping supplies (namely the batteries) wouldn't last for four days out in the wilderness. It's the reason I got my first X2 and clearos. It was great during the drive because...

    just started comparing e-juices, some basic questions

    The 1.8 ohms would make the vapor hotter which could burn some juices. You didn't mention a burned flavor though, so that most likely wasn't the problem. Higher ohms would make the vapor a little cooler and some flavors taste different depending on ohms, but if you really didn't like it, I'm...

    I've tried several vendors for liquids, such as Vapedudes, ECBlends, Alien Visions, and Goodejuice. Vapedudes flavors are pretty good imo (again, subjective), but they do take a while to ship. I'm not sure if they're just overloaded with customers or if they steep the juices for a bit before...

    Do you vape the same juice all day?

    I pretty much only use one flavor at this point (Vanilla Mint). I have about 14 new ones coming in the mail, though. I'm hoping to find something else I like so I can switch out when my taste buds get tired of one.

    It's really difficult to recommend liquids because flavor is so subjective. As Fiamma suggested, you'll want to get smaller sample bottles until you find something you really like. I've probably tried about 20 flavors so far and was lucky to find one I love. 5 to 10ml bottles are the sizes...
