    Can this battery be saved?

    Well, it seems like I solved my problem by cleaning everything again. I must have left a crucial hunk of crude on some contact.

    Looking for neutral flavor

    After reading some posts here about vaping unflavored for the purpose of de-gunking attys/cartos at the end of the day, I recently included a bottle in my Velvet Vapors sample pack order (really like Kat's liquids!) to experiment. As it turns out, I rather like it in its own right--just PG and...

    Not feeling the nicotine.

    16mg is on the low side. Vendors sell and many vape anywhere from 0 to 36mg. Needs and tastes vary. You might try getting hold of something like 24mg and see how that works for you.

    Can this battery be saved?

    It's one of those Joye eGo batteries with a USB socket on the end for pass-through/charging. It's about three months old (in a regular rotation of two). It charges up fine. But, starting yesterday, I noticed it firing very irregularly: sometimes fine, sometimes delayed about a second after...

    tobacco menthol

    I may not be the best advisor, not having ever been much of a menthol smoker, but I think Tasty Vapor's Tobacco Menthol lives up to its name with plenty of tobacco flavor in the mix. Tasty Vapor

    Bad Smoker!!! Shame on you!!!

    This reminds me of somebody I knew so, so many (OK--nearly 40) years ago, back when anti-smokers were still widely regarded as cranks, even by most non-smokers. The good old days. This particular person liked to say, "You know, you turn into another person whenever you light up one of those."...

    Who else thinks this is rude?

    Hadn't seen those before. What a great idea!

    Why should I care about vapor production?

    This is fascinating because we're really hearing from opposite ends of the spectrum. I'm pretty much in the all-PG, plenty of throat hit, very little visible vapor camp for pretty much all the reasons the OP mentioned. In fact I notice I exhale next to nothing visible most of the time. I do...

    Best tobacco vendor/liquid?

    Tasty Vapor Tobacco is well worth a try.

    carto's the good the bad the ugly

    My carto experience may not be broad enough to be of much value as I've only tried three or four kinds. At any rate I very much like the KR808D-1 Premium Cartomizers that Litecigusa and presumably others sell in both standard and LR. Good flavor, reasonably long-lasting. Ended up not liking...

    CASAA at the protests???

    Smart-smart-smart, Kristen! And in the context of e-cigarettes (and tobacco control), completely accurate on both ends.

    Drip tips with Cartomizer

    When I started using cartomizers a few months ago (after mostly dripping on an atty), I did use a drip tip in just that manner. Lately, I've happened to discover I prefer vaping without the drip tip and without an end cap on the carto--everything just open. I think I get better accuracy...

    Extremely upset right now

    I like that expression a lot--really apt! I'm curious about whom you're hearing this from: smokers or non-smokers. I haven't gotten any of this from anyone yet.

    Bored. Starting a list of vaping pet peeves

    Deciding a flavor is going to be the end-all-be-all daily vape and ordering 90ML of it. Then being tired of it before the order arrives.

    Vaping Addiction

    Your dilemma of choice really sums up a big difference between vaping and smoking. Can you imagine somebody pictured in front of packages of Marlboros, Newports, Luckies, Camels, Mores...?

    not thrilled with cartomizers

    I accidentally ordered some KR808D-1 Premium cartomizers from LitecigUSA (sold elsewhere I'm sure, but I haven't run into them) and, once I got a thread adapter for my eGo battery, I've come to like them enough to order 50 more. I just throw away the end caps and vape them open, which I think...

    Bored. Starting a list of vaping pet peeves

    Most of those are ones I wish I'd said first. In the general vein, I'd add vendors and posters who act like it's some great moral or aesthetic error to want a juice that tastes like a cigarette. Actually, I find this rather endearing (even if admittedly confusing at times). It underlines...

    Huffington Post- Story on E-Cigs

    Good work, Elaine (and probably others here)! The comment trail at Huffington Post is sparse (21 comments at HP = sparse) but I think unanimous in lambasting Dr. Seidman's position. Except of course for Dr. Seidman's own attempts to shore things up.

    Preemptive measures for the Ego-t Atty ???

    Haven't gotten one yet, but in another thread, somebody made what seems like a pretty good idea for those who vape the darker, atty-clogging juices: periodically clear things out by vaping a small amount of unflavored juice (just PG/VG and nicotine).
