    Mouth coating?

    All that water is probably washing any potential film away. I know I don't drink nearly the amount of liquid I should. And I drink way too much coffee - which I used to think was responsible for that film (lots of cream and sugar) but now I think it was the cigarettes. Anyway, if you're NOT...

    How do you inhale?

    I think perhaps I know what habit you're referring to - a similar habit may be responsible for my tendency to draw directly into the lungs. "I smoked, but I didn't inhale" never went over well with my crowd... ;) I wonder if all this mouth-inhaling is why such a small percentage of the...

    How do you inhale?

    I draw the vapor/smoke directly into my lungs. I thought everyone did it that way, until today, lol. If you're not inhaling, what's the point? I've been trying for the last couple hours to draw the vapor into my mouth first, then inhale it, and it's totally not working. My cheeks are getting...

    Mouth coating?

    I sometimes notice a film on my tongue when I brush before bed. But I think it was worse before I quit smoking...

    Umm... Yours came with a manual? :confused: :)

    510 pcc

    Is this true? I've left batteries in my PCC for more than a day, and they come out fully charged. (I know this, because I occasionally get them confused with my uncharged batteries and put them in the wall charger, and the charger light stays green.) The batteries I use don't have LEDs, not...

    Titan PPC Users: Charging the batts? Top it off or drain and re-charge?

    I think the variable is your assumption that the PCC battery is Li-ion. :) I have no idea what kind of battery is in my PCC, and I'd definitely like to know. But assuming that your assumption is correct, than yes, it's better to top off the charge than to fully drain and re-charge. Li-ion...

    why didn't anyone mention...

    Well, I never thought I was weird until now - but I don't know how NOT to direct inhale. I just tried sucking vapor into my mouth and then inhaling, and it totally didn't work. It seeped out of my mouth before I could inhale it, and my tongue felt... foamy? Also I usually inhale for 4-5...

    2 weeks and still waiting...

    I think the advice about keeping your juice in a drawer has more to do with sunlight than temperature - exposure to sunlight causes chemical reactions in the juice that can degrade its strength and quality. Regarding temperature, it's recommended that you store juice in a cool place, say under...

    Please help =), Looking to buy for "Old fashioned guy". Closest flavor to normal menthol cigarettes.

    Here are a couple more links, in case you weren't overwhelmed with options already: ;) America's Best Buys - Great prices on 510 kits (use the discount code "ECF" for 10% off) but doesn't carry all the accessories. Cignot - Good prices, offers kits with accessories (PCC, juice) and has...

    just made my first purchase

    My guess is that, as an "average," that number is probably a bit inflated. The folks on this forum probably don't represent an accurate cross-section of the total population of ecig-users. Aside from newbies, the people here tend to be more heavily invested in vaping as a hobby, not just a way...

    just made my first purchase

    I smoked 20-30 menthol lights per day, and 18mg works well for me, so 14mg will probably be okay for you. If not, you can always get more juice in the same flavor, different strength, and mix together for a better ratio. 15ml is a good amount of juice to start with - you'll have enough...

    Please help =), Looking to buy for "Old fashioned guy". Closest flavor to normal menthol cigarettes.

    It's also much cheaper to buy nicotine liquid and refill your own cartridges, than to keep buying new cartridges. MUCH cheaper. But there's some maintenance that goes along with that - daily refilling, cleaning and/or swapping out the cartridge filler every so often, reordering liquid, etc...

    Help, Flavor Questions... New at this!

    You're not doing anything wrong, you just haven't found the perfect flavor for you. Flavor really varies a lot between brands, and even between vendors selling the same brand, so it's not just a matter of deciding you like strawberry liquid - you may need to try a few different strawberries to...

    Help, Flavor Questions... New at this!

    That's about what I did, although I used the toaster oven instead of the real oven. Seemed silly to heat up the whole house just to cook an atty. :) General consensus on stocking up is that, IF there's a ban, you probably have a month or less before it happens. So stocking up now would be...

    Weight gain? But other Great Benefits

    I've actually lost a few pounds since I quit smoking, I'm not sure why. I'm actually a bit underweight at the moment. Best guess is that before I quit, I used to stuff myself silly if I liked what I was eating. Then I'd smoke a cigarette, which would somehow make me feel like I'd "digested,"...

    Help, Flavor Questions... New at this!

    In order to really taste each flavor distinctly, you should be starting with a clean atomizer and fresh cartridge (or clean empty cartridge if you're dripping). So at the very least, blowing out the atty, rinsing it, and letting it dry (or baking it in the oven for a few minutes if you're...

    just made my first purchase

    How much liquid did you buy? How many cartridges? In any case, it's hard to judge how much liquid someone will use - the average around here seems to be 2-5ml per day. Higher nicotine levels will satisfy your cravings more easily, and you might not be tempted to reach for the ecig as often as...

    Q: 510 PCC problems (again?)

    Wouldn't that depend on how much time you spend in the car, vs. at the computer, vs. away from any power source at all...? For me, the PCC gets the most use, followed by the passthrough. Haven't taken any road trips since I started vaping, so I've never actually used the car adapter... But I'm...
