    Nubee-Ordered my first starter kit last night

    First big thing to consider is your Kit, sounds like you are just about set with that. Second big thing is liquids. Buy small quantities of different flavors, the sample size or 5ml bottles are good for a try-out. My first order I bought lots of the same flavors and most of it is still...

    Request for Feedback on Bottles

    I would love to have a screw cap lid on the glass bottles. The current glass droppers are cool but all of mine leak like crazy, I can't even tell where it leaks from, but find juice on the squeezer, the screw cap, the bottle. It's messy! The suggestion to include a separate glass dropper...

    Heart attack after 1 month of vaping

    I'm sorry to hear about your heart attack, that is very scary. I think it is good that you did quit before it happened so you were just a little bit healthier going into it and that will help with recovery. I went through a smoker's rehab at a medical facility (St. Helena's Smokefree program)...

    thanks

    Congratulations! Yes, I wish I had found vaping a lot sooner but better late to the party than never.

    How is the 36mg Nicotine..?

    That was the hardest one for me to give up. I starting dripping so I can do a drop or two of stronger nic first thing in the morning and that cured the craving. I don't need it that strong the rest of the day.

    Silly Newbie question - Carto vs. Drip methods

    I'm a dripper. I like the hit of it. I drip 3 drops directly on the coil in the atomizer and insert a drip tip. For driving I also carry a carto PV for when the drip runs dry, since, yeah, dripping and driving is not a good idea. I bought a $2 drip tip and it will last a very long time and it...

    How is the 36mg Nicotine..?

    Don't know what PV you are using but like throatkick I found a bigger battery made more of a difference in satisfaction. I went from a 650 mAh to an 1100 mAh. Even at lower nicotine levels, it is more satisfying. Like the difference between using patches, and well, an analog.

    Losing plenty of money vaping

    I think the only explosive in that lab will be Frankster himself! [Sorry Frankster, could not resist saying it.] Just this Saturday I managed to shoot a little 18mg into my eye while cleaning my atty under the faucet and it burned! I flushed with water immediately but my eye was stinging...

    Vape around your children.....Yay or nay?

    Good question...I have the pre-teen nieces coming for a visit next week. I guess I will follow the smoking principle and keep it out of sight. I will have to tell them to stay out of my juice drawer in the kitchen though!

    On the road holder

    I have a couple napkins in the cupholder which works to keep my 2 PVs from rolling and banging into each other, also helps keep them upright. Not real fancy but it works. Free from any fast-food joint - if they still provide real paper napkins instead of the cheapo one-fold. I dropped my PV...

    Losing plenty of money vaping

    Frankster, I'm glad to see you are starting DIY to mix your fav flavors but Please read up first on safe handling of that high concentrate Nic don't want you to learn about THAT the hard way!!

    Losing plenty of money vaping

    Those 1100 mAh batteries really do it for me too. The cartridges were loose in the slightly larger atomizer that came with, so I bought some $2 drip tips for it and it was goodbye analogs! Now I wonder what is RY4, I see it mentioned everywhere. And is my Riva UNC with 1100mAh the same as an Ego?

    Losing plenty of money vaping

    Last time I saw this thread I got motivated to create a spreadsheet of Vaping expenses: PV Kits: 210.54 Juice: 291.30 Parts: 24.79 Shipping: 49.17 TOTAL: 575.80 That is since I started at the end of October. I bought six PV starter kits and use Riva 510 650mAh and Riva...

    Mycoplasma Pneumonia (MP)

    My brother-in-law got this pneumonia this year (2011), he thinks from a sick woman he was seated next to on a plane. He doesn't smoke or vape. So I think it may just be going around.

    Weight loss and e cigarettes?

    I started on High Protein Low Carb too - about the same time I started vaping. So I don't know which one is making me feel ditzy. I think the nicotine would keep the metabolism up so vaping instead of smoking should not cause weight gain - unless you are getting less nicotine. I also think they...

    I miss my cigarette time...

    I miss going outside. That is probably why I crave the occasional analog. I keep meaning to go out and vape and catch a little sun but since I don't have to I haven't been taking the time to do it.

    Weight loss and e cigarettes?

    I was wondering about this too, since I am trying to give up sugar (about as strong an addiction as analogs). I was hoping some of my sweet liquids would satisfy that sweet-tooth.

    Is it bad to vape too much?

    16mg is the strength of your nicotine, and that is about Medium strength (24-36mg is High and 6-8mg is Low). I don't know how many drops or ml your cartridge holds, but if it is just an ordinary cartridge that is not much for a day. Plus most people vape more when they first start. Also most...
