    Absolutely, Karen. I see more horror stories in the newspapers--killings, accidents, damage done by natural disasters, wars, etc.--that scare the living beejesus out of me, than any "horror movie" producer could ever come up with in his/her wildest dreams. Makes me wonder what's happened to...

    What a beautiful piece, Mr Mann. Please share more if you're willing to.

    This doesn't taste like mentholated rub; it tastes like a menthol ANALOG. I've not tried Newports, but I have had Benson & Hedges menthol, and this is a very close match to that. That's where the trouble lies. But I did get other flavours as well. I got Irish Cream, Kentucky Bourbon, Kahlua...

    Thanks for the input, JJ and FQ. Don't get me wrong, the Menthol was a mistake not because it tastes bad, but because it's too familiar with what I have just recently broke away from. For most of 43 yrs on smokies, menthol was my choice. If I'm to make a success out of vaping and give up the...

    When it comes to horror films, nobody does it better than Hitch! Most of what's out there today is blood-and-guts, which I don't enjoy at all. Yay! This girl got vapemail! This is my first taste of non-NET juices. Hangsen does a fine job at juice--the Canadian is a dead ringer for a...

    The Hangsen Thread

    Woo hoo! I got vapemail today! I got my ECV order! First things first. Trying out the tobacco flavours, and I had to dilute all my juices from 24 mg to 18 mg with no-nic vg (which I believe brings this mix down from 50/50 to 40/60), because they were all STRONG. I've got them going in...

    Wow! Maybe that's your body's way of letting go of some of the extreme stress you've been going through lately (SO taking off to Mexico, daughters running amok on Mom, crap at work, etc.) Hopefully talking out some of the stuff here is helping to relieve some of the stress, too.

    Tobacco Extract vs Naturally Extracted Tobacco

    Yes that is a NET. I've done my own tobacco extractions using pipe tobacco, VG and a slow cooker. I've not had any TA juices to date, but the NETs I've had (whether my own extractions, or Tasty Vapor juices) are good.

    Tobacco Extract vs Naturally Extracted Tobacco

    To the best of my understanding, tobacco leaf oil is Tobacco Absolute. Vendors that sell NET juices will state clearly that this is what they sell. Post #158 of the Natural Tobaccos thread outlines American vendors that sell NET juices. I cannot find any UK vendors that sell these juices, I'm...

    Tobacco Extract vs Naturally Extracted Tobacco

    A good explanation of Tobacco Absolute can be found here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-e-liquid-discussion/416335-tobacco-absolute-net-redheaded-stepchild.html Explained much better than I ever could. Hope it helps.

    Tobacco Extract vs Naturally Extracted Tobacco

    Tobacco extracts and/or essences are flavourings. Many of them are synthetically produced to give flavour. Many e-juice vendors use flavourings in their tobacco mixes. These flavourings are often concentrated, and are used for DIY (Flavour Apprentice is one company that sells tobacco...

    I know where you're coming from. I'm not quite 3 1/2 hours northeast from where you are, so I also know snow. Lake-effect winds coming off Lake Huron brings SNOW! Thanks God I live in an apartment, and don't have to shovel the white stuff :)

    You didn't seem short to me at all, Claudia. I didn't realize what kind of skins you were looking for, and you let me know that I pointed you to the wrong thread. It's all good :)

    Shari and Claudia, I found this thread that might be up your alleys: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/vamo/366134-vamo-skin-templates-multiple-configuration-options.html Don't know how adaptable this would be with other batteries, but it looks pretty cool. There are some pics to look...

    Natural Tobaccos

    There are a few vendors that will either not ship to Canada, or have protective disclaimers that international customers "order at their own risk." No refunds for shipments seized by CBSA. Look like NAFTA doesn't apply to e-juice, huh?

    No, Shari, I've never tried dripping. I do have some Ego-T tank cartridges that came with my PowerPal Ego-T XL, though. I use those to test out flavours before I commit them to a clearo to vape. The tanks are easy to clean and low-maintenance, like the Vision clearos, which I am comfortable...

    Glad I could help some. The trick that I use is run the battery till I start to see smoke, then cut the power till the smoke clears. It can 7 to 10 hits on the battery to see the red glow of the coils, depending on how gunked up they are (I NEED to clean my wicks often because I mainly vape...

    I'm not sure about the I 16's, but I know I clean my Vision clearos using hot water from my tap, rinsing everything out thoroughly, and leaving on a cloth to dry. Once dry, I dry-burn the wicks on my Spinner set at 4.8 v, a few seconds at a time, till the coils glow red. I let them cool before...
