    Tobacco Flavors Suck To Me?!

    I can understand why it's hard to make a vaporizing liquid that replicates the taste of a burning cigarette. But I'm not convinced it's impossible. I do think there are too many people (forum people and vendor people) saying or implying that it's a bad thing to want. I've enjoyed the taste...

    A tip for searching for reviews (or anything else)

    Good tip! A Google search box used to be a feature on Forum pages. I kind of wish it would return as I find the native forum search function lacking and there aren't any syntax guides that might make the advanced search function a bit more useful.

    "My Posts" Updating

    OK, so maybe I'm a narcissist. My typical ECF routine is to start with and frequently check again to see what's going on in threads where I've posted something. I'll bet I'm not the only one who does that. It looks to me like the updating routine for "My Posts," whether via the menu bar link...

    Simple, No-Nonsense: What's A Girl To Do?

    I agree (and in my post pretty much said) that this might well be the next sort of unit somebody might well choose to buy. But I still think starting out with a mass produced type of e-cig (and the eGo/Riva are probably the most robust examples) with spare batteries and attys or cartos is best...

    Simple, No-Nonsense: What's A Girl To Do?

    I think the eGo or Riva is a good starter for you as it delivers nicely and provides respectable battery life (meaning, in my experience, the one in the charger is ready well before I've exhausted the one I'm using, no matter what). Mainly, though, it's a dependable product well known to many...

    taking 2 drags at once

    I like the "because I can" explanation, and I think that's at least part of why I found myself doing that a lot, early on. Like taking my next drag as I exhaled the first through my nose. I rarely did that when smoking (except maybe after a long deprivation crave). For some reason I don't do...

    What's the consequence of direct-dripping my atty with different flavors?

    It's probably an individual thing, based on tastes. With dripping, it takes far less time to clear an atty of the previous flavor with another than with cartridges or cartos, even going back and forth between tobacco flavors and non-. (Some may quibble with me about the lingering of certain...

    Just a thought....

    Oh gosh-- next thing you know, somebody's gonna want a talking battery, kind of like an '84 Chrysler LeBaron saying stuff like "Your cartomizer is ajar." or "Don't you think you're vaping a bit much?" or "You haven't pushed the button in thirty-two minutes. Are you smoking again?"

    Need Throat Hit!

    Two flavor ingredients that I think contribute a lot to throat hit are cinnamon and ginger. For cinnamon, you could try any number of vendors' cinnamon candy flavors (Tastyvapors Atomic Cinnacide, for example). I've lately become quite fond of ginger, whether in a gingerbread type flavor or...

    5V Virgin Awaits PT!

    5V Virgin Awaits PT!

    (Deliberately provocative subject line... O-: ) Curiosity has finally overcome about higher voltage, and I finally put in an order for a 5V pass-through from Madvapes (and a higher amperage USB adapter from elsewhere). I decided to hold off on a box mod, figuring the PT would be a cheaper...

    Bump When You Create A Convert To Vaping...

    Technically not a conversion, but the subject came up in a conversation with a grocery checkout clerk I know. Turns out she already has a Blu that she sometimes uses. I showed her my eGo (not enticing to her--she's a Superslims smoker), but also explained she could buy liquid and refill her...

    Really good Waffle Juice?

    The only waffle juice I've tried (so obviously not a recommendation from very broad experience) is from Velvet Vapors, and I really like it. Velvet Vapors - Waffle Flavor

    The Love Thread

    Goes without saying maybe, but I think The Ladies at Cignot (and it looks like Vicki & Terri have been joined by more staff recently) deserve mention in any thread of this kind.

    Fav e-liquid Suppliers?

    +1 on Velvet Vapors. I just got some of the Raspberry Ginger Ale as a sample in a larger order (which included my second bottle of their Ginger--maybe why she chose that sample), and it's very good, as is their Chocolate Mint, Waffle, Caramel Apple, and Blueberry. I haven't found a tobacco for...

    Chain vapor!!!!

    In the house and car, I chain-vape at least in the sense that it's always within easy reach like a perpetually lit cigarette in the ashtray. But I seem to notice I don't drag as frequently as I would with a cigarette. Typically, I pick it up and take a couple good drags, then not again for a...

    Vaping in cold weather

    Must be the VG. Yesterday morning, I got in the car for an errand and immediately picked up the 510 PT I'd left sitting on the passenger seat for more than 12 very cold hours. I was wondering how it would do, but it hit fine first time with a carto filled with all-PG juice. I kind of like cold...

    Just started vaping after 22 yrs of tobacco - harshness issue

    THAT more than anything else, imo. I remember my lungs really seemed to dislike my early morning vape. Switched briefly to VG on that account, but switched back before too long. By then the problem had gone away entirely and I don't think it had to do with the VG stint. My body just got used...

    Organizing E-Cig Stuff: Help!

    Pretty good thread here (if, as thread-starter, I do say so...) with links to some other good threads: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/e-cigarette-accessories-discussion/139212-excellent-supply-storage-products.html
