    First day a SUCCESS!

    I've been vaping for 5 weeks, and the last 3 have been almost totally analog free (used to smoke 2-3 packs per day - that 3rd week of vaping I smoked less than a pack in the week, week 4 was maybe 5 ciggies, and this is my 11th day without an analog. I've attempted to give up cigarettes many...

    Not Complete newb.. But thinking about giving a 2nd shot..

    I've been vaping for 5 weeks with a 901. Originally I had a lot of problems with leaking or getting liquid into my mouth. Some of the reasons were: - overfilling the cartridge - using some blank cartridges where the polyfill was so dense the juice wasn't really getting down into the bottom...

    Now there is a bad taste

    Did you try soaking your atomizer in boiling water for 5 to 10 minutes, drying it by hand and then let it sit for about 2 hours to totally dry? This as brought several of my atomizers back to like-new condition.

    Made our own juice today!

    I'm fairly new myself and I'm waiting on a shipment of flavors from Totally Wicked so I can start making my on juice. In another thread here, a pharmacist posted that glycerine you can buy over the counter is all manufactured by Hummco but it is often bottled and sold under different names. He...

    901 Passthroughs Defective?

    I've had the button 'stick on' sometimes, usually not keeping the LED light lit, and the atomizer gets so hot the juice starts to boil out of the atomizer. Some of my cartridges melted. But I only had that problem the first two days - not at all in the past week. What I'm doing differently...

    Heavy Smoker-Waiting for my first Ecig

    A month ago I was smoking 40-60 cigarettes a day. I ought an ecig partly out of curiosity and partly out of a hope that it would cost less than regular cigarettes. So when I got my ecig, I alternated between vaping and smoking cigarettes, not setting a goal of quitting smoking. But within a...

    901 Passthroughs Defective?

    I know that the USB chargers won't give you an adequate charge if you plug into a USB hub, and earlier today I looked at one of those 'wall wart' things on one of the suppliers' sites and it said NOT to use it with a USB passthru. I have a 901 USB manual passthru, and I get plenty of vapor with...

    Lurker has registered and ordered 1st ecig

    While it seems many people give up analogs as soon as they try an ecig, it isn't mandatory. I started vaping but continued to smoke analogs. Within about a week I started noticing that the 'real' cigarettes tasted awful, burned my throat and the tip of my tongue, so usually I'd put it out...

    UPDATE for ecigsmokestore is backlogged will keep you informed

    I'm one of those people waiting for an order. I've heard good things about your ejuice, and I like the range of flavors you sell, and your deal on samples! I've gotten a lot of flavors from some other suppliers, but I had no trouble picking a completely different set from your list - things...

    901 manual battery.

    Yes, it's definitely worth getting one. I had trouble with the first one I got - it died within an hour but RMV sent me a new one without even waiting until I sent it back. So I ordered two more. So now I have one that works, but once in a while it will stay 'on' without the led indicating...

    Buying and Using an Electronic Cigarette: A Primer

    You might want to mention this re: cartridges - this is based on my shopping for 901 cartridges, but I imagine the relative pricing is similar for other models. Pre-filled cartridges average $1.00 to $1.20 each in the US, where empty cartridges run from $0.40 to $0.80 each from US suppliers...

    I'm going to beat myself.

    When you get your manual USB passthru for the 901, be careful that it doesn't overheat. I got one Saturday, and it has gotten stuck 'on' about a dozen times, usually without the LED light showing that it is on. The liquid starts to boil, and I've melted 3 cartridges, one of them so badly that...

    I'm going to beat myself.

    But DEFINITELY get at least 1 more atomizer! Rocky Mountain Vapor has the best price I've seen for them in the US - $7 each - and they ship free if you order $14. They're quick at shipping, so if you ordered Tuesday morning you'd probably have Thursday or Friday via priority mail. I believe...

    901 auto battery stuck on

    Well, so far I've tried 3 of my 5 new batteries after giving them a charge, and they all seem to work fine (the other two are charging now). BUT I've also discovered that this set seems to have 2 red LEDs instead of 1 red and 1 green. I tried puffing past the 5 second cutoff on each of them...

    Major problem with 901

    What happens if you blow compressed air through them? You can buy a can of it at an office supply store - it's the stuff meant for cleaning dust out of your computer. When I use it, I stick the little 'nozzle' into the hole in the screw-in end of the atomizer and can feel the air flowing...

    My Journey thus far (I Gotta be doing this wrong...)

    I have a 901 and use auto batteries and a manual USB passthru. I get much more vapor with the manual USB passthru, but the auto ones are acceptable to me, even if I'm not blowing out clouds of vapor. The juice makes a big difference in the amount of vapor, too. I've gotten juice from...

    901 auto battery stuck on

    My new 901 manual switch usb passthru sometimes gets stuck 'on' - it got so hot it melted a cartridge into the atomizer and I can't get it out. I have to unplug it from the USB port, let it cool, then plug it in again. This has happened about 6 times in the first day. I also got a shipment of...

    Hi- new, intro. Need some purchase help

    I'd recommend you get an extra atomizer, as well - maybe even two, and perhaps a few more cartridges. I've been vaping for about 34 weeks now, and I started with a 30 ml bottle of 'High' (18). I used about 1/3 of that bottle in the first week - then I ordered some other flavors, so it's harder...

    901 manual battery.

    I'm using a manual USB passthru for the 901 that I received this morning - I can inhale for more than 5 seconds without it cutting off - but i DOES cut off after 8 seconds.

    Poll - Favorite 901 Carts?

    I just got a manual 901 USB passthrough, and I'm getting much better vapor with a round-tip cartridge than with a flat-tip cartridge, both using the same juice. Now, this is based on about an hour of use <g>, but oh, I love this with the e-liquid 18 mg 'The Art', which is a cappucino flavor
