    I am curious as to other peoples experiences with other peoples reactions to E-cig

    I really soft-pedal it when I'm around other smokers. As huge a life improvement as you or I may consider the e-cigarette, to suggest this sort of life change to a dedicated smoker is a pretty big deal--maybe not quite on the level of trying to convince somebody to marry your sister--but major...

    Carto Extender?

    Thank you. If I'm understanding this, the plunger creates sort of a "false bottom" for the full length tank, limiting the juice area to just the length of the carto. For me, if it comes down to that, I'm OK with cutting the tank to size with a pipe cutter (plus the proper diameter wrench socket...

    What strength e-liquid do you VAPE?

    I suspect improvements in hardware may have affected some people's nic levels. It seems to have with mine. I was at 36mg for quite a while. But the combination of my switching up in voltage and recently getting a tank have so increased both the amount of liquid I consume and how much I want to...

    SteelJan gone?

    Just wanted to add my voice. I've found Steeljan to be one of the smartest, most helpful people we've got here. Her videos are among the most informative and, offhand, the best I've seen in terms of production values. I like to think of the vaping world as a benevolent "we" of shared values...

    Favorite cartomizers/atomizers for the Ego battery?

    I've been happy for some time with Smokeless Image's Volt cartos on my eGo battery. Of course you need to add an 800-510 adapter.

    Carto Extender?

    I'm fairly new at this tank thing, but liking it a lot. I'm wondering if there's a way to extend my regular length Volt cartos (which I really like and have a lot of...) to fit an XL tank instead of cutting down the tank to fit the carto, as I've been doing. I tried cutting a length from a...

    My one problem with E-Cigs

    I know I vape much more than I smoked, in the sense of going less time without. I smoked, at peak, about 1.5 PAD. I rarely go 15 minutes without picking up my PV. But since I don't usually take a dozen or so drags in a few minutes, as I (and most anyone) would with a cigarette, I don't know how...

    Got my Saddle Valve today....

    I haven't seen it suggested here, but I've found that a good way to prevent the needle from "walking" is to do the punching through the carto condom for better grip. Your picture looks pretty much like my results. I've done four or five all with what looks like about the same size hole and the...

    Review videos - They don't seem to inhale.

    No prob. I do think you're over-thinking this a bit. (Takes one to know one, as I sometimes do the same with stuff.) Experiment. Realizing that if you goof and overdo it with too high a level (within the vended bounds we're all talking about) the consequence is brief discomfort, not acute...

    Review videos - They don't seem to inhale.

    I can't recall hearing of anybody vaping 36mg liquid at a rate of a milliliter an hour all day. Not saying there aren't some examples, but heavy vapers, from what I've read (and please don't ask me to cite--the examples are many...), tend to report more like 5-6ml in a probably longer than...

    Review videos - They don't seem to inhale.

    I think the oft-repeated observation about lung versus mouth (etc.) came from the material linked in the following post: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/26065-no-need-inhale.html#post409602

    Review videos - They don't seem to inhale.

    Don't feel alone--it's a pet peeve of mine as well, when it comes to vaping videos. It looks weird to me, kind of like watching a character in a movie or TV show smoking where you can tell they don't really smoke because they just blow out uninhaled smoke. That said, I think a lot of video...

    URL & Login Data

    I'm using the Linux (Ubuntu) version as well. (Not a big Linux guy, but it's helpful on my underpowered netbook...) I'll try clearing the stuff. Thanks.

    URL & Login Data

    I'm not sure whether this is a new issue or some result of changes on my end. When I access ECF using Chrome, for whatever reason, my location bar always autotypes e-cigarette-forum.com without the "www" at the beginning. Lately, when I access that way, no matter how many times I check the...

    odd questions from analog users

    More and more, what I hear from the smokers I run into is "Oh I've got one of those." Invariably, when they describe it, it's a disposable or one of the many low-powered (and generally overpriced) advertised units. And invariably, it's not with them then. "Oh I only use it when I'm in my...

    Hi new member that' still smoking.

    I'm inclined to agree about the Volt. I have not used their batteries or tried their juices or pre-filled cartos. But their blank cartos are my staple for my own chosen battery setup (eGo and box mod) and liquid. It's the best 808 carto I've used. Their basic kit is very affordable and their...

    High nicotine level dangerous?

    I think that in the early stages of vaping it's not a good idea to make quick conclusions about how high a nic level is too high. I remember starting off at 18mg and making myself woozy for a few days. That might have been a side effect from still smoking fairly much (or, on the other hand...

    John Stewart Mocks Anti-smokers

    It's often occurred to me that, had the Founding Fathers even an inkling that someday lawmakers would address the issue of whether, where, and perhaps even at what age people could consume tobacco, they might have addressed it more specifically in the Constitution. "The right to bear Arms or...

    How old are you, and why did you start vaping?

    58. Started somewhere around 13-14, but didn't hit a ppd until 18-19,.and peaked at around a pack and a half (so, I guess just a heavy-ish smoker...). A couple years ago, I started noticing more than ever before how compromised my breathing had become when doing things like walking a couple...
