    yeah, 3000 cigarettes not smoked

    A BIG Congatulations on your success so far! As I tell many people who ask me about e-cigs, they are not for everybody but there is a very high success rate. Some quit instantly, some still smoke a few cigs a day and some just never get the hang of it. Even though it has already cost you...

    What I've learned and gained, in my first year of vaping

    Great post Jherek! I can remember when I first started vaping that I would try and find the most "seasoned" vapors to get their ideas, thoughts and opinions which I would use as the best parts of my research to try and learn everything I could about PV's and yours is no exception. Experience...

    Battery Charging Safe?

    My understanding is that the protected batteries prevent themselves from overcharging, however it is recommended that you remove them from the charger as soon as you see that it is done charging. Leaving them on for a few extra hours shouldn't be a problem, but no one can guarantee it either...

    E Cig danger on the road? suspicious "smoke"...

    Exactly my thoughts as well. I would welcome any LEO to pull me over so I can help educate him/her as to the legality and harmless alternative to smoking nasty cigs. :thumb:

    A humble thank you.

    Congrats on your little mod! When I made my first AA box mod I thought it was the cats meow and still use it today as a very dependable backup after all the other mods I've made. :thumb:

    Do you say "i quit smoking"

    Exactly. Look up the definition of smoking in any source and the true definition involves the inhaling of burning tobacco product. I quit smoking almost 9 months ago and very proud of it. :thumb:

    How many vapers align their cart with the atty?

    As Israfil just explained it's nothing more than lining up the cart with the inside parts of the atty. If you look inside your atty you'll notice an "oval" shaped white piece and if you look at the bottom of your cart it also has a similar oval shape to it. Just attach the cart to the atty...

    pulled over for vaping

    I know that if that happened to me, I would go directly to the police station some day soon (the station of the officer that pulled you over) and ask to speak with the Chief of Police there. My intention would be to have a friendly conversation ensuring him (or her) that I am not there to...

    The best prices I have found were at DealExtreme.com. They are in China and you can use Paypal and always free shipping. It normally takes about 10 days for my orders to reach me here on the east coast. You always want to get protected batteries and here is a good example of 2 - 10440...

    How many vapers align their cart with the atty?

    I do each and evey time and have never had a melted cart. By doing so, I know that the now "form-fitted" filling in my cart always fits perfectly over the shape of the atty bridge (510) every time, providing me with the same wicking effect. :thumb:

    help 510 poor vapor

    It sounds to me like you just need to clean your atomizer out. I have my prefered method as everyone has their own, but go down to the e-cig maintenance topics and you'll find some really good atty cleaning methods there. At a minimum, at least once each day I remove my atomizer and blow...

    Congratulations & Welcome Aboard! I also started out with a KR808D-1 unit I got from SmokeTip.com. I will never say anything bad about it because it was good enough to allow me to quit smoking instantly after 36+ years. It really is a very dependable PV. I then switched over to a Joye...
