    Is vaping bad for someone who takes care of their voice and skin?

    I second this. From my experiences and anecdotes from others, flavoring is a culprit for sore and raspy throats!

    Is vaping bad for someone who takes care of their voice and skin?

    This is mostly true, but not in the extreme... You are exhaling the same aerosolized PG or VG you inhaled, minus the nicotine and some of the flavoring. Now, it is possible for vaping to dry your mouth and throat a bit because PG and VG are humectants - that is, they attract water molecules from...

    The new Apex Vapor Atomizers (AVA) are in!

    I really like the HR with 6v. I haven't tried an SR but the way the HR works with my ThermoVape 6v, I'd think the SR might be a little harsh.

    New E-Cigarette User and my questions ;)

    Atomizer life varies greatly and can be affected by frequency of use (more use = shorter life), type of juice (thicker juice and more flavoring = shorter life), frequency of cleaning (less cleaning = more build-up = shorter life), and equipment quality (lower quality = shorter life). You'll...

    ...And remember everyone has an opinion on what's best and they usually acquired it by trying different things (models, juices, batteries, etc...).

    The new Apex Vapor Atomizers (AVA) are in!

    Are you flooding it? I just got an LR AVA and over the last two days I started using it with an Apex UltraLight. At first I started dripping 6-8 drops on this atty like I do on my HR AVA with my ThermoVape T1. I'd get a few great first draws but then it would peter out. I blew out the extra...

    AVA *****MADE IN THE USA****** $49,95 Atomizers

    @mwa102464 I have no desire for this to erupt into a flame war but since you are supporting your opinion with more detail. I feel like I should as well. Just a couple thoughts I have on the AVA... The atty's I have (2 HR on 6v tube mods) haven't ever leaked on me. Vapor is never hit or miss...

    AVA *****MADE IN THE USA****** $49,95 Atomizers

    The porous ceramic to hold the juice is one of the major points of the AVA... It's intentional that they don't use steel mesh. I wouldn't be buying these if they did. This is your assessment of the construction and not necessarily the quality of the materials. High-quality materials cost more...

    AVA *****MADE IN THE USA****** $49,95 Atomizers

    Being a dedicated customer of ThermoEssence and having communicated with them a couple of times, I concur that these guys source materials from the US and make everything in their California manufacturing facility. The also get their Tenergy RC123a batteries locally from Tenergy in Fremont, CA...

    anyone else have shortness of breath?

    I think there is both less flavoring and safer flavoring. I believe the only thing in ECOPure that adds any flavor is ethyl maltol. Besides that, the ECOPure juice is only nicotine, glycerol, and distilled water. Most other juices are so heavily flavored with natural and artificial flavorings...

    anyone else have shortness of breath?

    FWIW: After switching to a "limited flavoring" juice (ECOPure Regular - in this case), I have no problems with chest tightness or shortness of breath. Flavorings are the thing most suspect in juices. I personally consider them adulterants. ECOPure is one of the "older" juices and Intellicig is...

    AVA *****MADE IN THE USA****** $49,95 Atomizers

    Are you using a PG or VG liquid? I just started using ECOPure (100%VG, minimal flavor additives) and have excellent vapor on my high-resistance AVA in a ThermoVape T1 (with conversion - 6volt). It's after the break-in period and I'd just cleaned it with isopropyl alcohol for the first time. I...

    Blu ecig buyout--boycott??

    I boycotted blu from day one just on general principle. Their ads were flashy, dumb and cheesy. Everyone I know who ordered from them when they first started years ago ended up having their orders lost, cancelled, or delayed for a few months. Once people got their orders, the e-cigs we're cheap...

    Why do people keep saying it's just water vapor?

    All I've ever told anyone is that it's the same as the "fog" in haunted houses or at stage plays. That seems to satisfy people just fine because most have encountered one or the other at some time in their lives. Since everyone finds fake fog innocuous, no questions about the composition come...
