    12mg,24mg,36mg, can you feel any difference?

    I spent long enough (6 mos to a year) vaping nothing but 36mg to know that it's not plutonium, and I've heard from quite a few who will use nothing lower. I still occasionally make up a tank of 36 because I do enjoy the sensation on the lungs. But I figured out it's too much for me for...

    I hate to be a ex-smoker snob but..

    This thread makes me feel old. Very old. And I suspect a lot of the responses correlate with the ages of the respondents. I was raised by smoking parents in an era when close to half of adults smoked and nobody worried enough about either the smell or the effects to take their habits outdoors...

    ARRGGGGH! SO disappointed.

    I was in pretty much your exact situation a while back-- accidentally ordering 808 cartomizers to go on my eGo battery--I went ahead and go an adapter or two. And as it happens, I really liked those cartos and still use them with adapters on 510/eGo fitted batteries. I think having 510-to-808...

    It's hard to say, as a few variables come into play, and there are two of you. It's been my sense that a lot of people fall into the 2-4mg/a day category, but that heavier usage like 5-6mg isn't exactly unusual, especially if you find you like the higher end of the voltage scale. I've noticed...

    Agreed. 20 is my strength, lately. A good approach might be to buy the same flavor in 36mg, 18mg, and 0mg, some smaller drip bottles (as I noticed they weren't on your list), and something that measures milliliters (syringe, pipette, beaker, whatever) . Mixing to achieve any strength within...

    As coincidence would have it-- three packs of five cartomizers was exactly what I was going to recommend for two of you. With a tank setup and, I guess, medium level vaping (like 4ML/day), I tend to get about a week out of a cartomizer and only keep two in service at any given time. Fifteen...

    Have to vent about my local E cig store

    I think it's important to bear in mind that we, as ECF'ers, may not reflect the actual or potential e-cig-using population. I suspect a B&M seller is probably smarter to keep a fairly limited, somewhat vanilla, product line for the many smokers who are motivated enough to seek out e-cigs but not...

    Embarassing article

    Well at least they didn't say "oozed." ;)

    Please Help Frustrated Noob Who Needs A Choking/Coughing Hit

    If you're truly talking about a harsh sensation, regardless of what flavor or strength, you could experiment with airflow adjustment, as I accidentally discovered a while back. Certain brands of cartomizers and 510-to-808 adapters (as I was using an eGo battery w/ 808 cartomizers) have a screw...

    Is there an ECF app for the Ipad?

    Bump! Any word? Various App Store searches for it came up empty.

    PG Evaporation from Gallon Bottle?

    I bought a gallon jug of U.S.P. PG about six months ago and dispensed some into smaller bottles for mixing. As I recall, that didn't make much of a dent in the gallon. For the first time in a while, I looked at the translucent plastic gallon bottle and noticed it's down way below half. Either...

    Replacing tank ends inner oring

    I finally replaced one, and pretty easily, thanks to your advice. I was able to lay it in in almost right position and then worked it a bit into place with the end of a ballpoint pen (one with plastic casing that extends down to the tip and tapers beyond the diameter of the ring). Lubricating...

    So what are the flops of the mod world?

    Looks like two podiums for game show contestants.

    Replacing tank ends inner oring

    Thanks for that! Now I'm not so apprehensive to try it. What about laying in the new one? If I ring it around a cartomizer toward the end, will I be able to position it and just pull the carto out?

    Replacing tank ends inner oring

    Bumping this because I'm curious about the technique for replacing inner O-rings. Can somebody suggest a procedure?

    Will the smoke from a E cig stain walls and other things like clothes ect?

    BTW, I've been happy to notice that e-liquid is one of the relatively few things I can spill on my clothing that doesn't leave a stain after washing!

    Is Anyone Else Weirded Out?

    Something that still amazes me is how the e-cig industry and community is, in a sense, a celebration of addiction. Of all the pros and cons of lifelong tobacco use, the addiction aspect has never really bothered me. It bothers me that smoking is bad for my health, now costs a lot, is a source...
