    Bought my first mod today. What was yours?

    And from the bargain basement, my daily users are two Grippers and I have an Ovale V8 for when I need to remind myself that the vape is the important thing. I'm a woodworker and retired sparky so I'm sure I'll get around to building my own mods some day.

    "OMG, Do You Ever Put That Thing Down?!"

    You good people are a God send. I've been in recovery for other addictions for 30+ yrs. That wasn't as hard as it might have been because the hand writing was on the wall. I was going to die and I guess I wanted to live. Cigarettes are more cunning, baffling and powerful. They, too, were...

    The vision of a bunch of 50-80 y/o folks getting excited waiting for the mailman.....like kids at Christmas :laugh: I'm right there with you. When I first got started vaping, I went wild and could expect something almost any day. Now it's slowed down and I have to get my kicks vicariously thru...

    Hello out there in Gerivapor Land. This topic is very timely for me. We are going on our first day trip since I started vaping. We'll be 1.5 hrs. from home and I'm considering putting the trailer hitch cargo platform on the car to carry my gear :D I'm with NGIB re: the inconsistent quality of...

    Battery question

    I have two of the discounted batts from CCV and they are actually about 3/32" shorter than some Ultrafire 1200 mah batts I got from DiscountVapers. Must be 27 sizes of 18350's out there.

    Hiya cigfreed and tyme. Brother's wife's family used to make scrapple but they used some pretty good cuts of pork. It's been years but that made a pretty good breakfast with some eggs. I'm glad you're here. I can only tell you that even without any chronic illnesses (except sinus...

    I haven't tried any of the dragon stuff but I've got some of their chocolate and coffee blends. I've wondered if the flavorings are alcohol based and if that overwhelms the flavor it's supposed to be. I'm going to try nuking some of it to see if this overtone evaporates.

    Hi to all. Thought I should check in and tell you my first batch of DIY ain't half bad. I made a honey flu cured tobacco menthol using 50/50 at 12mg. Herself says it's too "bitter" so I've ordered some sweetner and will probably increase the VG in hers. I also got a sample of root beer from...

    Need Help Advice Upgrading to Bigger tank Carto System Please!!!!

    I have some tank/carto sets but I've been using some 510 xl mega single coil cartos from Crystal Clear Vaping. They're called Resurrectors and they hold 2.5 ml. Another solution to carry more liquid is an EGo mega dual coil carto like this: eGo Mega Dual Coil Cartomizer, Flat Tip. They can be...

    Well, if pets are permitted, sign me up, too. I have a problem with anybody with a holier than thou syndrome but I learnd a long time ago to use my feet instead of my mouth. Of course, I spend a lot of time alone :laugh: but I like me just fine these days. As for VV..no way will I spend $150+...

    Hi bugsman..I started with Pall Malls but Mom switched to Kents so I had to buy my own. My story mirrors yours but I'm a year behind you. Two months without an analog and I already feel better. "Allergies" the last two years kept me in the house. This year, even though the pollen count is much...

    Deb...you could try painting the whistle tip with vaseline or finger nail polish (might disolve it??) or covering it with tape, maybe a bandaid??

    NGIB...I can't keep up with you. I have Resurrectors on the way and I have to wait for eagle before I buy anything else. Are you vaping the CE3's at 3.7v?? I noticed they are rated at 2.6-2.8 ohms.

    Good Morning to one and all! MadVapes sells a long extension that gives you a 510 connection a few mm's above the top of the Gripper. I'm using tanks and dual coil mega cartomizers as well as the 49 mm mega cartos that make the Gripper a "stealth" machine. I have some Resurrectors on the way...

    I hope everybody is having a safe and sane Sunday. I got to sleep in today...my black lab alarm didn't go off until 7:30 (usually 6). She's a character and thinks she can talk. I've decided to go with another Gripper (at MadVapes) because I have the batteries and the TGo battery burning in my...

    Inexpensive, somewhat durable, not stacked VV without all the frills?

    I don't know about durable because it's plastic and has a rocker bottom but the Ovale V8 Incremental VV Body - Black uses two 18350's side by side (tight fit if protected batts are used). It's $30, incrementally adjustable and has an LED. I bought it because I already have the batts for my...
