    BP's New Inhaler

    Here's a thought. Knowing that the e-cig hit the market several years ago and knowing that to date there has been no credible evidence that they are harmful in any way, someone in a position to lose money started thinking of a way to counter-strike the e-cig by using a chemical reaction (rather...

    My lastest mod - Altoids "Mini"

    You're right. The bottom of the tin matches the same curve as the lid so an 18650 won't fit inside, so I carefully used my thumbs to push the bottom out (from the inside) then worked out some of the bumps with my thumbs/fingers. The bottom now sticks out (curved) just like the lid does. I...

    Anyone else feel the same way?

    subperceptual you do bring up an interesting point that I haven't given much thought to but it is true that another reason to vape is out of respect for non-smokers. If they aren't convinced as to why you would rather vape, you can explain to them that you could still be smoking and...

    Vaped at disneyland

    The wife wants us to spend a couple of weeks down there next year and stay right in the park and I can't even imagine what their vaping policies will be then. I can only hope that it will be allowed and to avoid confrontations perhaps a button with a blue "V" or something to identify you to...

    Anyone else feel the same way?

    Warped3k we all have experienced that exact feeling and understand perfectly what you are trying to say. As we all know we are not doing anything wrong, but to those who don't have a clue, anything that doesn't appear normal must be wrong. After more than 6 months of only vaping, I still...

    e-cig battery (wish)

    I'm not sure which model you use but after making a few NicoSticks with the 900mA 14500 batteries (I only vape at 3.7 volts) that last me an average of 7 to 8 hours I got spoiled. I got myself a couple of 18650's at 2400mA which you can get at 3000mA and built myself a simple mod out of a small...

    e-cigarettes for sale at foxwoods casino in Conn

    Interesting news. The only down side is the cost, and at $3.00 per cartridge that can add up pretty quickly. :thumb:

    Shoulda' kept smoking analogs.

    After more than 36 years of smoking I also can smell how nasty I used to stink. It's truly amazing how well the sense of smell comes back after so many years! :thumb:

    Took a few drags of the real thing.

    unit40 I started vaping more than 6 months ago and quit smoking instantly with my first PV. There really weren't any times that I was that tempted to light up an analog "just to see what it tastes like" but from what I've read in these forums you probably will find the same results with a RYO...

    Allergy Symptoms with VG?

    Hmmm, I don't recall ever reading about such a reaction to vaping but I'm not saying it's not possible either. If I were you and it continues I would definitely seek medical attention. To the OP (Original Poster), there have been more than a few members who have discovered that their nose is...

    Wanted to share....

    I'm glad you sticked with it and eventually came back to vaping. You really cannot go wrong with a 510 which seems to be one of the most popular and dependable models out there. Hopefully you'll be able to quit cigs for good, if you haven't already. :thumb:

    My lastest mod - Altoids "Mini"

    The lid stays closed quite well although there is some play as is, but I already think I'm going to use a couple of small rare earth magnets to keep it closed tightly. It's only 3.7volts but vapes very consistently. So far I am really enjoying it. :thumb:

    How I finally ended a life long battle with smoking.

    What a fantastic story! Not to trivialize any other stories that have been posted here at ECF but that is the best one I've read, so well written and so honest. We can all relate to how dominant cigarettes can and have been in our lives and how it has controlled so many aspects of it as well...

    My lastest mod - Altoids "Mini"

    I love my NicoSticks with the 14500's (900mA) and the battery in them last 6-8 hours depending on how heavy I vape, but wanted even more battery capacity, so... I decided to build another mod as small as I could but utilizing 18650's (2400mA) this time and this is what I came up with and I'll...

    Old habits..

    That is hilarious! There was a member who posted several months ago that he in fact DID toss his PV out the car window on the highway at 65mph! Some have said that they attempted to light theirs with a lighter/match, tried putting them out in an ashtray, still use an ashtray to hold one...

    ladies and gentlemen... the ghetto mouthpiece for DB

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You made it, it works and that's all that really matters! Although I'm not sure what my mother would think if she saw that in my mouth... Good Job! :thumb:

    Nico-Slim

    Sweet! You're right, that is a tight fit but you really did a good job of getting everything in place. If you are still concerned about any contact at all between the atty connector and battery terminal, just mix up a little 2-part epoxy and carefully dab some between the two with the tip of a...

    Help me cut my 36mg AC!!!!

    The more VG you add the more vapor you will produce, one of the benefits of VG. Just keep in mind that as you dilute our original juice with VG to reduce the nic level, you are going to dilute the flavor as well. You may be surprised to find that even cutting it 50/50 with VG that you'll still...

    My First Attempt Nicostick

    Looks good! It doesn't look like you've had to modify the battery compartment so what size battery are you going to use? Good work! :thumb:
