    A Day I Never Thought I'd see!

    Welcome Aboard! That was truly an inspiring story and I am so very glad for your quick success! Like you, I had resigned to the fact that I would be buried with a cigarette between my lips and honestly never thought that I would quit. I was one who really enjoyed smoking even though I had...

    Which liquids are Dekang?

    There are many vendors who do stock Dekang which is my preferred juice, but to be sure I always email them first to make sure that it is in fact Dekang brand before I order from anyone. :thumb:

    Isn't it wonderfull...

    I've experienced something similar when I waited just a little too long to re-order my e-juices and desperately waited for the mailman hoping I wouldn't run out before his arrival. Now I just make sure I've got no less than a months' supply of e-juice in hand at all times. :thumb:

    how long will a cartridge last?

    There are just way too many variables to accurately determince just how long a full cartridge will last you. It will vary depending on the type of filler material in your cart, the humidity, air temperature, viscosity of the e-juice, just how much PG or VG or combination of both, type of e-cig...

    pure VG

    I don't really think there are any drawbacks or negatives about VG other than it will normally be a thicker (in viscosity) liquid that may not wick as well as PG, but as long as it is thinned out properly with distilled water or vodka or PGA it can provide a vaping experience equal to PG juices...

    Best PV for VG?

    I'm only guessing that perhaps you're finding the VG liquid is too thick to wick properly and may be clogging your attys? You might want to simply thin out your VG with about 10% of either distilled water, vodka or even PGA (Pure Grain Alcohol) if you can find it. I prefer the water myself...

    My first attempt at a 3.6v box mod

    That looks really sweet. I'm guessing that you're using 14500's and that is an LED to the left of the switch? Very nicely done and by far the best DIY mod you can do to improve the battery life over the original 510 batteries. Nice work! :thumb:

    First few vapes in the morning are Nasssty!

    I haven't experienced that. My first vape seems a bit "stronger" probably because my taste buds are just waking up. Nope, my first vape each morning is a good one. :thumb:

    how much did you vape each day when you started, and how much now?

    I probably started out at about 1.5 to 2 ml's per day at 24mg strength, but now I'm right around 2.5 to 3 ml's per day at around 9mg strength. Even if I vaped 5 ml's per day it's still better than those darn cigs! :thumb:

    Many people have stopped vaping.

    It is unfortunate, but there are probably hundreds of individuals throughout the country who have taken it upon themselves as an opportunity to make a fast buck and started selling e-cig kits without even having a clue what they are even selling. For these types of people it's all about the...

    Battery automagically shutting off

    Another possibility may be that the rubber gasket between the center terminal on the atty connector (the one you attached to your box) and the negative outer housing may have been damaged. It may be split or squished or melted allowing an electrical contact between them. For example, if you...

    yet another 5v box

    You've done a really nice job there! I built one some time ago but found that the throat hit is just a bit too much for me but I do sneak a quick 5v vape once in a while (don't tell anyone). Nice work! :thumb:
