    Comparing Nicotine Prices

    Another big MFS fan here. Admittedly,I don't have much basis of comparison for flavor, but I do vape his unflavored on occasion, and most of the rest of the time very lightly flavored, and it tastes fine. Very fast delivery and response to questions too. His unflavored sale deals are pretty...

    When drop bottles don't...

    I like the larger glass dropper bottles from MFS a lot for dispensing unflavored liquid, etc., and sometimes top off with them when I'm at home. Out and about, I think I'd prefer more or less one-handed dispensing.

    When drop bottles don't...

    Don't you just hate it when it's topping-off time and your juice bottle (especially the typical soft plastic kind) is clogged, has an air bubble, or whatever, and will not give out any drops? I know there are ways to solve it when you have a little time and space--run hot water through the...

    Is there nicotine in second hand vapor

    The other part of the question, I would think, is how far does vapor travel as compared to smoke? I don't know, but I suspect dramatically less. Even if there's significant nicotine within, say, five feet of the vaping individual, how much is there ten feet away or more?

    why do I still want a cigarette so bad??

    My story, two years in this month, is nearly identical (including the "I am old" part). My original goal was pretty vague--probably not quit smoking, but decrease to a less harmful and less expensive level. At some point a few months after I started, I set a ceiling of seven cigarettes a day...

    How many cartos do you have going at once??

    Just one most of the time, as I only occasionally change it up flavor-wise. I kind of like the idea of a week's worth of prefilled cartos to eliminate the interruption of refilling, but mainly I like travelling light and not having to keep track. Of course I have packages of unused spares in...

    My Freedom Smokes has AMAZING customer service.

    MFS was one of the first vendors I used and still one of the best. Chris is very responsive to problems/questions and ships very quickly. He's my sole source for unflavored nicotine liquid.

    Clear tobacco flavor

    This kind of intrigues me because at some point pretty early in my smoking career I smoked Old Golds (now an obscure brand) which had a very distinct tinge of something unusual... pipe tobacco-ish. I later learned (from an ancient print advert) that Latakia was part of their blend. I've fooled a...

    Quiting or just slowing down.

    Minority report (at least minority among those posting here...). I've been vaping nearly two years, having smoked 1-1.5 ppd for over forty years. I still smoke a bit, lately about four a day, in a way sort of intentionally. I still enjoy it and figure that at this rate I have more to worry...

    Does RY4 taste like grass?

    The only RY4 I ever tried was Dekang and it was quite a while ago. My reaction was that it tasted like what I imagine church incense would taste like. After one dripload, I really had to clean that atomizer.

    E-cigs and teens

    I'm trying to peel back 40+ years and imagine myself as a smoking-curious teen taking up vaping instead (at 0 nic, no less), and it just doesn't compute. No cool factor and none of the dangerousness that is so enticing at that age.

    An Unexpected Ally Against Nicotine-Free Hiring Policies

    How odd. I wonder if they'll adopt the relentless rudeness of their TheTruth campaign toward this particular cause...

    Need more TH.

    Menthol, cinnamon--for sure. Also ginger: not so much the gingerbreads (yummy nonetheless). I've gotten nice throat hit from Velvet Vapors' Ginger and Raspberry Ginger Ale.

    Need more TH.

    What's the cutoff time on that auto battery? Long drags, like 8-10 seconds or more, help with throat hit. More nicotine.

    Tobacco Flavor or Other?

    Tobacco mainly for the last year or so. Actually what I vape is mainly unflavored with just a little, like 10%, tobacco doubler mixed in. Every once in a while I'll go on a flavor binge, but then go back to the one that brought me here...

    Moment of weakness... had a cigar

    I don't think I've smoked more than five cigars in my entire life. Nice, but it always seemed like too long a time to go without a cigarette. :oops:

    The average smoker will not Vape

    I wonder if some of the problem a lot of people have is the cafeteria of choice in both hardware and juice. So many approaches, so many vendors. I too am a 40+ year smoker (present tense--after nearly two years of vaping, I still choose to treat myself to 4-5 cigarettes a day--down from 1-1.5...

    Just fired up...

    Welcome, Stately! Others may say differently, but I've found that juices with cigarette brand names (or slyly similar names) rarely taste much like what they're named after. In fact, I started figuring this out with a bottle of "Winston" early on. If you find a tobacco juice you like, odds are...
