    Ego vs 510

    The ego is a nice piece. The mega is compact for a 900 mah, but it vapes at less than 3.7 v. It CAN last all day, but has fairly rapid 'voltage drop' ...so it vapes best right after a change. The cone has some advantages, but is another thing to screw & unscrew. The button is probably the...

    Opinion: hard or easy draw

    We have to deal with existing atty designs & the only thing we can vary is the thread design. While your variable draw sounds interesting, it's beyond the scope of this design. In a nut-shell, we either bury the atty air holes in threads that run to the top, OR recess the threads. This will...

    Smokes costing 10-13 bucks per pack in NY

    And you think they are going to give up that tax revenue without a fight? (i.e. attempting a ban) With NO tax or settlements, cigarettes would sell for about $4-7 a carton. (I know some insiders at big tobacco here in NC) That's would be a retail price - the cost to produce is considerably...

    Opinion: hard or easy draw

    We are not talking about air hissing or any audible sound aspects. We are asking about sucking harder or easier. We are talking about access to the air holes in atomizers. Some threading designs restrict air to these air holes & some designs allow pretty much complete air access. The...

    Opinion: hard or easy draw

    A manufacturer is in the process of a new design. I would like to know YOUR preference between a harder draw or an easier draw PV? I need to know if more people like a tighter draw with less air flow, or an easier draw with more free flowing air?? Your response is greatly appreciated.

    Will non Joye 510 Ejuice in a Joye 510 atty ruin it?

    Any juice is fine. All have same basic ingredients (VG &/or PG, nic, water, flavor, & often sorbic acid). What WILL clog your atty is sucralose (sweetner) and the darker juices. Darker juice is dark because it has more pigmented particles in it (however small).

    Travel and Vaping Cruise ship passengers & ecigs!

    Different cruise lines have different policies ...and tolerence levels. Carnival is fairly smoker friendly - they know who pays the bills (drinking, smoking, gambling). Royal Carib. is slightly less tolerant. NCL is pretty good. Holland America and Celebrity are fair-good. Disney is the...

    Ego Batteries, 900 mah 1300 mah. Worth it? last long?

    To my knowledge, Joye Tech. makes only 2: reg. at 650 mah & mega at 900 mah. If you see a 1300 mah it may be a clone. I use only sites that use genuine Joye products.

    tobacco flavor

    I too have tried many tobacco flavors & all have been disappointing, with the exception of 2 (ironically both by Johnson Creek), 'mercado' & 'domestic'. Domestic is the closest thing I've found to real tobacco, a real full flavor. Most are weak with just a hint of tobacco flavor.

    cartomizers

    I use the new mega cartos 510 (reg. & LR) - get about 1-2 good weeks & refill often enough to keep them wet. These are the long type and hold about 22-25 drops. Also, above advice from K24A3 is good advise.

    Looking to Quit -- Guidance Appreciated

    Lots to be said - I'll keep it brief. Joye 510 = good place to start. Get min. of 2 batts, 2 attys, a charger, refillable carts or cartomisers, and 30 ml of liquid. Mega batts last much longer (about $16 or so at electronicstix). You'll eventually need a bit more hardware for 2 people...

    FDA Sends Warning Letters

    Yes, elections are important. The FDA is big, in your face gov. at it's worst. As a physician I could tell you stories (unfortunately, very long stories). Let's vote for smaller gov. and cut the FDA budget by 50% (along with some other agencies). (No, I'm a dem, but I keep hearing there's a...

    Comment by 'cruisedoc' in 'Vote for smaller gov.'

    And you propose what, anarchy? Gov is, and always has been necessary. There must be laws and the common defense ...some organization to civilization other than a free-for-all, every man for himself nightmare. You are obviously very young. I suggest you grow up a bit, and, by all means...

    Inside the FDA.......

    Also, vote republican this Nov. Although I'm a dem, that's what I'm doing. Let's get big gov out of our faces & from trying to control all aspects of human behavior. Let's cut the FDA budget by 50%. I'm a practicing physician, and have seen far too many people quit tobacco cigarettes...

    Smoking is not vaping! Bars are catching on.

    I've had similar experiences. Employees surprisingly seem to note it, but mind their own business. Recently I said 'screw it' and vaped in a dept. store. Again, employees seemed to take note out of the corner of their eyes, but just ignored it. One elderly women did say I couldn't smoke as I...

    Yet another EM co-op pre interest feeler ;)

    Count me in. I've been paying $5 for 510 attys, and have to buy in lots of 25 or more to get that price. At least I get free shipping.

    non-smoker needs recommendations

    Start with a 510 kit - it most closely resembles cigarettes. 2nd, I think you have to be motivated, willing to try something new, and learn. E-cigs havee an 83% success rate for quiting analogs. Patches, mints, gums, and pills have about a 15% success rate. You may have to buy it, help her...

    Question about nic level

    When I started, I needed 18 - 24 mg. Eventually, after giving up analogs for a while, I cut back to 12 -18 mg. Then I forced myself to 6 mg. - only took a couple of days. Now, after a period of adaptation, 4 - 6 mg. is fine. PS You can buy ($15 for 120 ml) VG flavored any way you want it at...
