    Broken 510 pass throughs

    My experience has been the exact opposite. The PT I bought ages ago from Cignot with an in-line 14500 battery has survived use and, even worse, much time knocked about on the passenger seat of my car. Both of the entry-level 5V direct passthroughs died very early deaths. In my own post...

    Wow.. Do not do what I just did.

    Hmm... Afrin. I guess I'd better stay away from that brand as a vape. I'm curious--did it produce vapor, or did it just do you in in its liquid state?

    Anyone else getting clogged carts/attys w/T.V's Tobbaco?

    I really like TV Tobacco, but I've noticed this as well with both carts (dripping) and now cartos. Lately what I've been doing is using just a small amount of it (like 10% or less, usually doubler as I have a lot around) to lightly flavor otherwise unflavored PG/nic juice. (I buy the latter...

    I ordered on the 28th, so maybe ours will be littermates (or fraternal twins).

    Old Goat Mods 5 volt illuminated bottomfeeder sale

    Waiting on a 5V, no juice feed mod painted dark blue. I think it's supposed to go out early this week. My first mod. Batteries are here and charged up, so I'm ready!

    Refilling Cartomizers: Condom Method versus Popping the cap off and filling it by the sides.

    Been doing it a couple mos. Really not too bad a problem, even at 5V, once I learned to let it sizzle a sec or two before drawing, draw slowly/lightly, and be sure to blot any juice that hasn't soaked in after a refill.

    Vaping With Your Nose

    A perfect way to guarantee nobody's going to ask you for a hit off your e-cig! As for french-inhaling being worse for the nasal passages-- it sounds logical, but I suspect it's never been researched. (With a PV, it makes me want to sneeze. I don't recall that sensation from smoking.)

    unflavored mixes

    I get it from MyFreedomSmokes (a wholly different outfit from FSUSA). Price, service, and variety of nic levels and PG/VG concentrations all excellent. In the past few months I've been in an unflavored mood--tired of hitting the wall with this or that flavor and carrying a half dozen around...

    Refilling Cartomizers: Condom Method versus Popping the cap off and filling it by the sides.

    I usually use the condom method to start of a fresh carto because I sense it distributes the juice more evenly throughout the filler. After that, I generally top off with a few drops as needed (usually about five at a time). I don't use the plastic cap or, for that matter, a drip tip-- just...

    Juice venders

    No experience with Juicy Vapor, but I second the mention of Velvet Vapors as I've like almost all of the dozen or so flavors of hers that I've tried.

    How many mls a day do you use?

    I go through 2-3 ml a day of 36mg (for the last few weeks, nothing but unflavored, all-PG with a small dash of TV Tobacco doubler). I'm waiting on my first 5V mod from Old Goat, and suspect the different voltage may result in my lowering my mg prompt me to lower level and/or increasing my juice...

    Vape Habits v.s. Tobacco Smoking Habits

    For me, the "rhythm" of it has changed. Obviously, lighting a cigarette sets up a time frame in which one takes maybe a dozen drags in a period of maybe five minutes--and then nothing until the next one is lit up. With vaping, for me there's rarely a time where I take that many drags in a...

    Introducing myself.

    Welcome, Lee! I find it encouraging to see that something intended to smear e-cigarettes has actually influence somebody to seek out better information about it. Happy vaping.

    Passthrough??

    Among the PTs with batteries, some have a hardwired USB cord and others have a mini-USB socket up front that takes an unpluggable cord. The advantage of the latter, of course, is that it doubles as pass-through and a battery in its own right when USB power isn't present. (Well, that's true with...

    Help finding e juice with throat hit?? Does it need to have nicotine?

    A couple of flavor components I've found to enhance throat hit a lot are cinnamon and ginger. Try something like Atomic Cinnacide from Tasty Vapors or Ginger (or Raspberry Ginger Ale) from Velvet Vapors. I've never tried either in low or 0 nicotine or with anything but 100% PG, but you might...

    Old Goat Mods 5 volt illuminated bottomfeeder sale

    My order went in yesterday for a dark blue 5V regular. (I thought I'd cross the "first mod" threshold before approaching the bottom feeder one...) Batteries and charger also ordered. Am waiting excitedly.
