    Batt & charger longevity question

    Thanks, I do have extras (4 megas stashed away), but I use these standard length Joy 510 batts daily. Mfgs. claim 500 cycles, users say BS. I'm way beyond that. Just wondered if it's my imagination that they seem to last less long. I have one charger that now only works when you play with...

    Batt & charger longevity question

    !st, can anyone tell me what happens when a batt is approaching it's end. Won't charge? Or just shorter time between charges? Or, does it just die? Also, anyone have a charger go bad or have to clean the contacts? Also, anyone have trouble with a car charger?I have 2 batts I alternate...

    Back on analogs

    I agree, lots of maintainence, and worth every bit to me. The only problem with the marbs is that each one takes an avg. of 6 minutes off of your lifespan. Also, if you calculate the REAL comparison, you may be surprised. Yeah, a 510 you have to top off every 2 cig equiv. But analogs cost...

    Only post once-How many have quit smoking

    It just happens. I was off real cigarettes within a week. However, it took me about 2-3 months before I had no desire for a real cig. Just stay with it. It has helped many thousands give up cigarettes - folks who previously failed with pills and patches - like me. A real life-changing and...

    DETAINED letter from FDA

    Remember this next Nov. when you have the opportunity to vote for a smaller, less invasive government. We need to cut the FDA budget dramatically, along with most agencies. Dr. G. (nope, I'm a democrat - a fed-up democrat ...pun intended)

    Comments Please on AAPHP Petitions to FDA

    Remember all of this next Nov. when we have the opportunity to vote for smaller, less in-your-face government. Let's cut the agency budgets in half, especially the FDA. They are there to work FOR us, not against our best interest. The e-cig remains the only thing to ever work in getting me...

    E-Cigarettes Give Poor Delivery Of Drug Smokers Crave

    Everyone's story varies a bit, but the bottom line is that many thousands have quit with e-cigs where nothing else worked. The above story, "...realized I hadn't had a cig in 3 days" is a very common one. They work. Personally, I was afraid I would never be able to quit, after trying most...

    IF e-cigs were no longer legal...

    Like so many, I would continue to vape as usual. Truth is that the gov. hasn't the capability to inspect every package coming in, especially small packages. A recent documentary show about airline mail/cargo, and ship cargo showed clearly the inability to inspect. The FDA might make it a bit...

    exploding batteries

    My understanding is the Protege uses unprotected batts., HOWEVER, the Prodigy V2 uses CR123 batts, which I believe are protected. Is this info. correct? Thanks

    Smoking Everywhere V. FDA Daily Docket Sheet Update--APPEAL's COURT ISSUES STAY

    Sun, First a word of thanks for all that you do. Now, a practical question. While I understand that it is impossible to predict, I would be interested to know what you believe the outcome will be.....short term and long term. Like many, I live with a pretty good stock pile, but the shelf...

    Prodigy2 - Reviews opinions wanted.

    Due to the shortcomings of e-cigs, after many months I feel obliged to look for a mod. My citeria is: optimal voltage for the 510, longer batt life, and less voltage drop. Maybe some of you folks can help. What's important to me (and I suspect others) is: 1. Voltage in the 5 v range without...

    VG + Distilled Water?

    I agree, 20% DW to VG gives a nice viscosity. Some say pure VG based liquids clog attys, some say it doesn't. I've used a lot of 100% VG based juice and never had a problem (although most mfg. of VG juice add distilled water). I would start w/ 20% DW and then midify your next batch to taste...

    Vaping "more dangerous than traditional cigarettes"

    Instead of calling his office and screaming, why not try to educate him. Inform him of the many thousands who have become tobacco free from e-cigs. When a person is ignorant, you can try to educate them. The worst thing you want is to challenge them and get into a pissing contest.

    VG vs PG - what I have been finding and more

    Funny, more folks have symptoms that clear up when they switch to VG. Of course, it's highly individual, and different people react to substances differently. The most common is a sore throat from PG, which generally clears with VG. Indeed, PG metabolizes into lactic acid, and muscle fatigue...

    how much equals a pack of anonlogs

    OK, as one comment said, there are variables, but you want a good math ballpark? OK A reg cig (full flavor) is about 1 mg. of nic. So, a pack is 20 mg. At 20 mg./ml., 2 ml = 2 packs. There are 20 drops in a ml., so one drop = 1 real cig. Got it? Now, variables to consider: an unltra...

    Are you stockpiling supplies?

    PS you want to titer your stock-up against the hardware becoming obsolete. 25 attys seems like a good stock, but not too much if something comes along better. I suspect a new and better atty will come along before a ban....but who knows. I would probably recommend a min. of 6 attys, a few...

    Are you stockpiling supplies?

    Like many, I was off analogs in a week and never wanted to go back....so once I found out what was going on (and possible), I figured it was smart to stock up a bit. The most critical things are nicotine and attys. 1st, it would be easier to get parts than kits. Mod batteries will be available...

    Smoking Everywhere V. FDA Daily Docket Sheet Update--APPEAL's COURT ISSUES STAY

    What is Judge Leon's address. I would like to write him to advocate this alternative product which has helped so many become tobacco free. A letter from a physician MAY hold some extra weight.
