    It's good to laugh at yourself!

    Yesterday while driving, I was having trouble with my rather new (but I'd used it a bit before) pass-through. It was only occasionally firing when I pushed down on the button. I figured loose wire connection. Then I looked at the button and reminded myself: it's not a button--it's a rocker...

    Since I can't post anywhere else...question about my tornado tank and liquids...

    I haven't tried the eGo-T yet, but I happened to see this thread where they talk about stacking adapters: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/altsmoke/156351-silver-bullet-ego-t-510-510-adapter.html

    Tobacco Prohibition and a Law of Physics

    Well reasoned, well written, Kristin. BTW, I believe I heard somewhere the the FDA decision to ban menthol in cigarettes is coming fairly soon, the closest thing to prohibition ever tried in this country. Against all reason and experience, it's my intuition that if they go ahead with this one...

    Does anyone know if there is a favorites?

    If I subscribe to a thread in which I haven't posted, will I see updates in "My Posts?"

    Why Tobacco Flavors Don't Taste Like Analogs

    Fascinating post! I dabbled with pipe-smoking long ago in my 20s. I rather liked it but felt self-conscious as I didn't know any other pipe-smokers in my age group. Kind of forgot about, even as I crossed the age threshold I associated it with. I suspect if I'd switched entirely back then I...

    Anyone else here using the new eGo Tank system?

    What I'm really curious about is how they play with the TV tobacco flavors--Tobacco & Tobacco Menthol. I like both a lot, but find them a bit rough on cartomizers and atty coils.

    5V Virgin Awaits PT!

    Thanks for the heads-up-- I've just put in the order. I think neither was available when I ordered the PT.

    Liquid Smoke for Flavoring E-Liquid [Who has a Condenser?]

    One might call the flavoring "essence of ashtray." But, gross as it may sound to some, I have to admit the same thought has crossed my mind.

    5V Virgin Awaits PT!

    To update and add a question. My PT arrived and I've been using it some in the car. I can't say as I'm noticing any great change in flavors or vapor delivery. I bought an upgrade in my 12V to USB adapter (the one I'd used for charging batters was .500A), but the one I happened to grab was...

    flavor combos

    Right now I'm doing sort of a waffle+ progression. Start out with waffle & blueberry in the carto. Vape some and switch to caramel apple. Vape some and top off with the waffle. Vape some and add banana... Waffle is such a good basis.

    why drip?

    Not a dark versus light thing, but certain flavors are more pungent than others and therefore have more staying power. A strong cinnamon type flavor will linger. Menthol also. Whether or not you decide this merits dedicating an atty will depend on your tolerance for gradual flavor transitions...

    why drip?

    Like the others said, a plus is flavor/vapor for sure. For me, though, it was in large part dissatisfaction with inconsistent, messy carts and cart mods. More recently, I've discovered the virtues of cartomizers (not nearly as fussy as carts and less interruption, especially when driving) and...

    New to Forum, but an "oldie" to Eastmall.....

    Could it be Chinese New Year observance? I remember this time last year my order with another China vendor was considerably delayed (weeks) as the holiday completely shut them down. I do recall that particular website stayed up, but with a prominent notice of the holiday delay. Probably not...

    Ok, so my girlfriend doesn't like the term "vaping"...

    I'm OK with "vaping." I really dislike the term "personal vaporizer" because it sounds just too much of the generation behind me--reminds me of "personal trainers," "personal bankers," etc. It's just too ... what's the word? ... millennial for me.

    808D-1 Cartomizer on 510/eGo - Really Nice!

    I like that this particular setup vapes so nicely without a cap or a drip tip, in part because the overall unit isn't so darn long. But a quick attempt to attach it to a 510 sized 5V pass-through didn't seem to give a tight enough connection to fire reliably (although I understand 5V and LR...

    808D-1 Cartomizer on 510/eGo - Really Nice!

    I already know this can be done because I'm doing it. But, being kind of new to cartos, I have questions. A while back, while ordering 510/eGo cartomizers from Litecigusa, I somehow managed to click the wrong thing and got a couple boxes of the KR808D-1 Premium LR cartomizers. I decided not...

    Yeah, I also noticed a while back that accidentally getting the hyphens wrong pulls up another (not as good, from my quick look) forum.

    how much nic?

    wv2win's approach is smart. One thing I would suggest, though, is that you only mix small quantities at this stage instead of blowing your entire bottle of 24mg. (Small bottles and measuring devices--syringes or pipette-- are cheap and useful to own.) What you're experiencing may well be the...
