    Cool idea, unloaded! Thanks.

    Thread adapter advice sought...

    My setup of choice involves 808 cartomizers connected to 510 power (eGo or mod) via a thread adapter (from Madvapes, if I recall). One of the reasons I prefer this kind of setup is the slightly tighter, more cigarette-like, draw the adapter introduces. What I don't like about it, however, is...

    I cringe when I see the title of this particular forum

    This sort of points to a core issue. To some, the appeal of the e-cigarette is that it is more like smoking and less like chewing gum or wearing a patch. I'm one of those smokers who actually enjoys smoking (present tense because I've thus far used my e-cig for a stable 80% cut-down to 4-5...

    *Sigh* If it's the same error I noticed right after your first blogs went up (the erroneous breadcrumb link back to posts by "lol" instead of "-lol-") I sent something to the tech folks then as well. Maybe one of these days...

    Condom Fill Enhancement?

    Has anybody worked out an easy way to put a slight flare at the very mouth of a cartomizer "condom" cap. I find that this refill method works so much better than periodic dripping, even if I'm just topping off with 6-8 drops, that I'd like a cap that's a little easier to get onto the carto...

    What PV Do You Use in Public?

    In walking-around public, I stick with my eGo. Driving around, I will use my Old Goat box mod, but will admit to apprehension of law enforcement noticing it and thinking it's something else. Wanting something less obtrusive is one reason I've lately been eying something smaller like the Little...

    Looking for a decent all-day tobacco/sweet vape.

    Here is what I've been doing exclusively for a couple months now, and it's given me by far the best success at having a daily vape. It came from a bit of experimentation combined with a bit of what-I've-got-around. I start with unflavored (in my case all-PG) from myfreedomsmokes.com, to which...

    Comment by 'PaulB' in 'Preamble To A Ramble'

    What I found early on was that... it changes. My first e-juices were all 18 or 24mg and, for whatever reason, I occasionally used to vape myself semi-ill with those levels. It may be because I was still smoking fairly much. At any rate, I stayed with it and that went away. Some months later...

    Tobacco Ban Goes Too Far

    Not just college students, but college students who have lived their entire lives in Anti-smoking America, many of them probably so shielded by their parents that prior to college they had never met a smoker or even seen somebody smoke. "Dad, how come we've never met our Grandma & Grandpa?"...

    Charging Issues - Help Sorting Out Please?

    My replacement is working fine using the 4.2 setting. I'm not noticing any undue warmth when charging. It does "sing" when plugged in and empty (so I don't leave it plugged in empty).

    Another Use for Your eGo Battery

    ... or at least MY eGo battery. The battery end is perfect for squashing ticks!

    Mouseover Glitch?

    Minutia, perhaps... I just noticed that when viewing the "My Posts" list, mousing over the last poster name brings up the opening text of the original post in the thread, same as occurs when mousing over the thread title. In the regular forum thread lists the last poster's online status pops...

    Bigger Battery Recommendations?

    My move from 510/eGo type vaping to 808 was accidental when I mis-ordered a package or two of 808 premium cartos (I guess my first-ever carto order) along with the 510s I meant to get. Curiosity and waste-not-want-not overcame and after a few weeks I bought a couple 510-to-808 thread converters...

    Glad you're still here, LOL. That's probably the best use of multi-quote I've ever seen here, and the effort it took probably goes a long way in explaining why we didn't hear from you for so many days. :laugh: You may want to up your post-count to 5 (by a couple of quick, nonconsecutive...

    Nicotine saliva test. Anyone tried this for the non-vapers in your house?

    Seems like you'll only be able to make sense of her results if the kit provides, or if you can determine from other sources, what kind of background levels one might still expect even in a totally smoking-free environment, what kind of levels a smoked-in house would yield, and what kind of...

    My first mod

    If you draw on it while on the phone, does the voice on other end lose volume?

    Would you buy an E-Cigarette from the "Big Tobacco" companies?

    I voted for the "would think about it" option, as it pretty well expresses my ambivalence. I have positively no ax to grind with BT "hooking me." I started to smoke as my own choice, knowing both the health and habituation consequences. If anything, BT has mainly annoyed me when their...

    Hi LOL. What a terrific first post an instant ECF classic, and in a way a rallying cry for those of us ECFers who haven't decided that cigarette smoking and smokers are evil, and for those of us old enough to remember when smoking was not regarded as deviant behavior. Your reward for such a...

    Dashboard Mod: Doable?

    Excellent refinement! That way I'd have a PV that's always charging in its storage place and none of the hassles and vulnerabilities of a pass-through cable. Plus, it could be a juice box.

    Ever hear of e-SOLID?

    I appreciate your sharing the review. This development has gotten me doing some rather wild "what-iffing." Specifically this: A non-liquid substance seems more versatile in how it could be used in a delivery device--no drip, no spill, more gravity-resistant. Plus a little, in volume, goes a...
