    Can others smell your vapor flavor?

    I hadn't mentioned my vaping to my (longtime ex-smoker) office-mate and feel self-conscious about doing it when she's around, but I do vape a bit when she's not. Any number of times over quite a few months, she's come in just a short while after I've vaped and not noticed. However, she came in...

    Velvet Vapors - General Review

    My first order, a five-bottle sampler, must have come in right before she closed (ordered 12/28, received 1/3). And all I can say is--she cannot reopen soon enough for me. Of the six I received (she threw in a 3ml sampler of Caramel Apple), I like most of them enough that I'm having a hard...

    New Mod rumors.. Has anyone seen it?

    I was astounded by that as well, but he does note that the final release version will be smaller. One would hope a lot smaller.

    E-Cigarettes on Fox and Friends

    I noticed Stossel did observe that "you don't inhale" at 2:23. Apart from that, a pretty good piece.

    Flavor Concentration and High Nicotine

    I have yet to take the DIY plunge, owing both to workspace and self-confidence issues, but contemplate it on a daily basis. As a juice consumer who for the past few months has been vaping 36mg exclusively, I've noticed that certain vended flavors don't play that nicely with high nicotine...

    What is your favorite E-juice flavor and Strength?

    Just lately, it's TV Gingerbread, cut with 1/4 TV Tobacco to take a bit of the sweet off. 36mg, all PG. Dee--save me a search, please. What's Tiramisu??

    Ever hear of e-SOLID?

    I'm intrigued by the potential here, as leakage (from the PV and sometimes the bottle) is an annoyance. Some time ago, I put up a (thread-killing, if I recall...) musing about the possibility of a truly solid melt-able "e-pellet," and this sounds like a step in that direction. It does seem to...

    Why are mornings so harsh?

    I remember experiencing that early on. It was as if my just-awoken lungs just didn't want to welcome the vapor. From reading here, I thought it might be a PG thing and got some VG juices. But not long after, I switched away from VG for a bunch of reasons and found I no longer had that early...

    Vape leaves residue on windshield?

    I've seen this advertised on TV and noticed them at Bed, Bath & Beyond, but so far haven't popped for one. I think it's contoured to handle inside windshield cleaning. Windshield Wonder - Window Cleaning Solution

    Best Ginger Flavor

    Looked at Halo & VelvetVapors. Halo juices stop at 24mg and I vape 36 only lately, so I went with a Velvetvapors sample pack including their Ginger. Kind of excitedly waiting for some juice from a new vendor (to me, at least).

    Best Ginger Flavor

    Bumping the thread because I'm curious if anybody has any new suggestions. TV Gingerbread had become a real favorite, but lately it's been seeming way too sweet for my tastes (and I don't know whether that's it or me). To me, ginger is a wonderful throat hit source and I'd like to find a robust...

    I've had my e-cig for almost a year. Still smoking 20-25 'analog' cigarettes daily & need a plan.

    I don't think you mentioned how much you smoked before you got your e-cig. If you're down from 3-4 ppd, or have cut your consumption in half, a big part of you should be congratulating yourself. I'm like you, in that after nearly a year of vaping I still smoke, but have managed to keep it down...

    Anti Banzhaf Movement

    BTW (as I really didn't want to give this its own thread), the old scoundrel is up to his old tricks--this time strong-arming Santa to give up his beloved "stump of a pipe." He's been a smoker for close to 200 years (that we know of). As Rudolph Wheezed or, How Many Children Have Died Due to...

    Syringe with lasting markings

    Advice I got here a while back has worked pretty well, and I usually use those soft plastic bulb syringes where the outside is routinely dipped into juice bottles. I mark the ml lines with a Sharpy (a genuine indelible Sharpy, not just any felt pen), the I give it a good long time, like a day...

    Well you guys broke me...+ my two week vaping journey thus far

    First time I've heard it called that. Cute! I don't recall getting them from inhaling. I have gotten them from juice blowbacks, maybe when a bit didn't make it all the way down the drip tip and I either couldn't spit or underestimated the amount. For me at least, they go away pretty quickly.

    Cartomizer End Cap - What I think I want

    I may have answered my own question. Simply removing the cap and tailpiping the carto seems to do the trick rather nicely without the high heat factor of tailpiping an atomizer. Potentially a little messy, though.

    Cartomizer End Cap - What I think I want

    For the last week or two, I've been giving cartomizers a tryout, and there's much I like about them. My original plan was to do as many here do and combine mine with a drip tip for the occasional top-off. That's alright, but battery + carto + drip tip = an overall longer eGo than I like...

    Cartomizers and Consumption

    What I was talking about was moving from a straight direct-dripping approach to my first real stab at cartomizers (although I am using mine with a drip tip and periodically topping off that way). Starting out with the luxury of most of a ML of juice does seem to make me consume a bit more at...

    OT- Smoking in Airports is another Holiday risk

    Veering just a bit off-topic... I'm reminded of a friend of mine who lived in the South Pacific in the 1980s and was traveling to the U.S. back when smoking was still allowed on flights in excess of (wasn't it) four hours duration. It was her practice always to book flights that fell into this...
