    Vapor causing dryness of nasal passage?

    VG is much less irritating. You can cut it with distilled water to get the right viscosity.

    Do you "measure" vaping? Or how do you do it?

    PS The above is for simplicity, in reality most liquid is avail. as 18 mg./ml., but some is avail. at 20 mg./ml. ...it depends on supplier. Also, above is for a 2 pack a day full flavor cig. An ultra-light smoker would probably do well with a 12 mg./ml. strength. If you like vaping more, cut...

    Do you "measure" vaping? Or how do you do it?

    Sure it matters, since there is nicotine and you need to watch your dosing. In round figures here it is: one real cig. is 1 mg. of nicotine, so one pack is 20 mg. At 20 mg. per ml., you can vape one ml. to equal one pack of smokes. It's pretty easy. So, 2 ml. per day is about equal to 2...

    Who makes your favorite juice?

    Why stick to only PG based? So many suppliers are coming out with VG based liquids. Many folks find VG less irritating, and it is more natural.

    USB passthrough pros/cons

    I think a new thread re: sharing experiences with passthroughs is in order. Personally, I use a joye 501 passthrough and like it. Always seems to provide CONSISTENT power. Does anyone have experience about how long these last?? Also, if it uses a battery, then doesn't this battery also have...

    Ecigs becoming something diff than quitting tools?

    While it cannot be marketed in the US as a cessasion product (FDA), it is marketed as a tobacco alternative. The chinese instructions often clearly define it as a cessation device. I know many who have used it to become tobacco free, and many who have used it as a cessation device. A number...

    woah too much throat hit

    Buy VG (vegatable glycerin) at walmart and mix it 50:50 -you'll end up with 12 mg. & half the flavor which should moderate the harsh fruit flavor....or mix 2 parts your stuff with 1 part VG = 16 mg. (most people vape 18 mg.), and smooth it our a bit. Next time buy VG based, not PG based, if...

    if i don't like carts will i like cartomizers?

    I'm generally not one to use such language, but cartomizers suck. Hard to draw, little vapor, expensive, harder to fill (if you fill).

    Tasty Vapor Spiced Rum

    Yeah, SOME other sites charge more, but like he says, zero nic liquid for any higher is a rip & scam. There are many sites if you search that, while they don't call them 'doublers', will custom mix ANYTHING you want at a fair price, and that means flavored VG and/or PG. I buy his VG doubler...

    Getting a Syringe?

    Call a med supply house & ask for a catalog. Just say your name is Dr.____. I've ordered suplies of all types for many years and nobody ever asked to see my degree. I think this is the biggest secret in the med field. I've ordered printed Rx blanks for many yrs. too....yep, no questions...

    Legislators Jump On Electronic Cigarette "Ban" Wagon

    Fog machines are OK for many venues and they use PG. Mom just loves to break out that Vicks Vaporizer when her kids are sick to help them breath by vaporizing camphor, alcohol, water, and Vicks proprietary fragrances. Yet they can't figure out that a vapor of glycerine, distilled water, with a...

    FDA Still Not Sure that Smoking is Any More Harmful than Using Electronic Cigarettes

    What's the FDA been smoking? Fog machines are OK for many venues and they use PG. Mom just loves to break out that Vicks Vaporizer when her kids are sick to help them breath by vaporizing camphor, alcohol, water, and Vicks proprietary fragrances. Yet they can't figure out that a vapor of...

    Where can I get low nicotine VG ejuice

    Actually, Vermont Vapors base varies with the flavor, so be careful. They use PG in many of their flavors, so read the ingrdients before ordering - they are listed. Ecopure also has VG based, as well as many other venders.

    Virginia smoking ban dec. 1 !!!!!!!!

    I doesn't look like the definition applies to e-cigs, but I would still be stealthy. The worst thing we could do is flaunt these products or put them 'in the face' of society. They WILL react. I like my flavors as much as anyone, but 'candy' flavors for a cigarette like product, agressively...

    Sore throat

    While you are not in the majority, this is a very common problem. Many venders sell VG based liquid, although you may do well on a blend of PG & VG. Johnson Creek sell 'reduced' PG, but it's still about 66-80% PG. Many venders will blend 50:50, and a growing number offer all VG based...

    NJOY to Discontinue Flavors, Takes Additional Steps to Prevent Underage Electronic Cigarette Use

    The e-cig opponents use the flavors as a weapon claiming they lure kids. We know it's BS, but an old fart legislator hears about 'candy' flavors designed to 'lure children' and it's effective. So they are doing this to take away that argument.

    Holiday SALE.....30% off

    Why so high for 30 ml.? I don't mean offense, if your juice is particularly special let me know what makes it that way. I often pay more for better product, but like most here, I'm paying about $15-20 for 30 ml. (especially with coupons) from pretty good sources like Vermont Vapor & Johnson...

    How much Juice do you go through in a day?

    Geez, hard to say since I use a little of this & a little of that throughout the day. When I first started I used 10 ml bottles (was getting ripped), and one would last 5 days (sometimes 4)....so, 2 to 2 1/2 ml. a day. If you work the math, 1 ml. approximates 1 pack of (full flavor)...

    Chinese e-liquid manufacturing and sanitary conditions

    Informative pics, but I'm not surprised (just impressed). I wonder how many US suppliers are more like a young guy in his garage with a few dozen bottles of stuff, a computer, and some mailing stuff.

    Propylene glycol inhaling?

    If concerned, why use PG at all? Personally, I find it far more irritating than VG. Glycerine is a pretty natural product. What happens is it gets absorbed into the bloodstream via the lungs, that's about it. We ingest glycerin in foods and, again, it gets absorbed into the bloodstream via...
