    510 atty really gets hot, what am I doing wrong?

    Hi Cindy! Maybe too obvious to be of much help, but I recall from my 510 w/cartridge days always keeping two of them loaded-up and handy (+ two batteries charging) and alternating between the two. I suspect it won't be too long before you do as so many of us who started with 510s fave done--...

    OK--I appreciate your checking on it. No bigee... (Somebody might mention it to the vB developers, as I suspect it's not what they intended for the alt text in that space.)

    Alt text in message lists

    Aziffel's interpretation is exactly right: a preview. From my own work with extracting stuff from databases for web applications, I suspect the wrong field variable (one specifying the preview text of the original post) was specified in the third column.

    Alt text in message lists

    I've long noticed a teensy, but occasionally annoying, error in the message list coding. On a "My Posts" or "Today's Posts" screen (and probably other message lists as well) when I mouse over the thread title I can see the first sentence or so of the OP's posting. That's good. But If I go over...

    Voltage and consumption

    Thanks, LucentShadow. That's pretty much what I suspected. And very lucently explained.

    Voltage and consumption

    Since I've started using a tank with my VV mod, it's of course easier to pay attention to how much liquid is being consumed. Yesterday, I was feeling a bit dissatisfied with what I was vaping and, for the first time in quite a while, hooked up the multimeter to check my voltage. I was somewhere...

    what tastes the most like an analog?

    If you have any inclination at all to try some DYI, you might want to take a look at what Jimi D. is doing in this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/265155-jimis-complex-cigarette.html. I haven't tried this exact version, but I've been liking an earlier version he had...

    vaping while cheating with analogs-and feeling bad? this post is 4U

    I started vaping near the beginning of 2010 without a particular goal beyond smoking less for all the various reasons one might want to. Unlike many here, I wasn't an instant quitter. In fact, I haven't stopped smoking. I don't intend to. (On the other hand, I don't particularly intend NOT to...

    Why VG?

    After a long spell of PG-only vaping, I've lately come back to VG but in a very light proportion: 8% (an advantage of DIY, as I don't think anybody vends this). This gives me the semblance of what it's like for me exhaling smoke, doesn't have too much an effect on flavor, and keeps the liquid...

    how often do you vape?

    I haven't really kept close track, but I think I'm the opposite: I vape (as in picking up my e-cig and drawing on it a few times after a while of not having done so) much more than the 20-30 times I'd light up in a day. But most of the time I don't stay with it for the number of minutes or drags...

    Carto Extender?

    Indeed! Why didn't *I* think of that? Thanks

    How long do you vape or how much do you vape?

    3-4 ML a day, lately 20mg liquid and I still smoke 3 or 4 cigarettes a day--down from 1 to 1.5 ppd for forty+ years. I normally don't go more than 15 minutes a day without vaping, but most of the time it's maybe 2 or 3 long drags, not the equivalent of an entire cigarette. Probably the closest I...

    Change your sucking style

    Every time I see one of these threads, I am amazed at the number of posters reporting that they direct-inhaled their cigarettes, as opposed to taking smoke first into the mouth and then inhaling. Maybe I haven't paid that much attention, but over decades as a smoker, I don't think I've known or...

    co-worker gave me $60 and told me to get her something

    I'm not necessarily dissenting from the eGo tide (it's the battery I use much of the time). But if you detect a preference for cigarette size and shape, as is so often the case with beginners, I'd go with a Volt starter kit from Smokeless Image. Smokeless Image | Only The Best Electronic...

    Wrapped carto in tank

    The most securely wrapped cartos I've encountered are the Smokeless Image Volts (which you can now get wrapper-less, but I had just stocked up before those came out). Since I got my first tanks, I've gotten good at removing the wrappers whole. The key is denatured alcohol (not isopropyl--it...
