    Very sore throat, couple questions

    I think you can buy USP grade VG (glycerin) at Walmart or a drug store. Not sure on that, though. Maybe someone else can chime in on that. With water, it's not like you need to gulp down a gallon or anything, just make sure you drink a bit extra throughout the day to keep your throat moist...

    Very sore throat, couple questions

    I doubt it's the nic level hurting your throat. Most likely it's a combination of things: quitting smoking, starting vaping, PG, and having a bit of a throat sickness going on. Adding a small amount of VG to the liquid will make it a bit cooler and smoother tasting — easier on the throat in my...

    Discussion on Amazon forum

    The anti-freeze thing is pure stupidity. Propylene glycol is used in many ecig liquids and it's also used in some antifreezes. So people think that means ecig liquid contains antifreeze. You know what else has propylene glycol? Toothpaste, deodorant, medicines, hand lotions, shampoos, cosmetics...

    I LOVE Vaping but I feel like crap. Help.

    Almost everything you're describing can be attributed to quitting smoking. I had so many random aches and pains - headaches, jaw pain, joint pain sore throat, sore muscles... you name it, I experienced it. You'd think I'd gone cold turkey from all the quit symptoms I had! Most of it was over...

    BBC News- Possible Death from E-Cig Use?

    Here's the article I saw today. BBC News - Gateshead doctor calls for research into 'e-cigarettes' So the guy might have gotten pneumonia from his ecig, which might have been using some sort of oil based liquid? This is a non-story until they've got actual findings to report.

    Sticky Mucous

    Awesome. I hope that keeps working for you. Maybe I should try that too. I swap atties every one-two weeks, so I never think about cleaning them while they're in use. And my cart tips, I'm sure I should be cleaning them more often than I do. I'll have to try isopropyl alcohol for cleaning...

    Warnings on Propylene glycol bottles

    You know how medications have a long list of side effects that most people never experience? It's the same thing with PG. It's not dangerous for inhaling like we're doing, but some people are especially sensitive to it, so to them it can be an irritant.

    Trouble breathing

    Yeah, sounds like an infection to me and once you're feeling better, I'd give ecigs another try. If the same thing happens again, then I'd suspect your body just doesn't tolerate PG or VG well and ecigs aren't for you. As one person said, you may want to try snus if ecigs don't work for you...

    What's under your lip/in your nose right now?

    Actually I take it back. I've enjoyed this Marlboro Amber snus quite a bit —.just a little slower to kick in than I was expecting. This is exactly what I needed tonight :)

    I just found a TropicalBob review of CigRX on youtube (he just put it up about 2 weeks ago): YouTube - cigrx

    What's under your lip/in your nose right now?

    I haven't used any snus in a few months, but I just felt like I needed a little extra something tonight. A few weeks ago, I got a free sample box of Marlboro snus, so I cracked that open. I've got an "amber" flavor one in my mouth right now. Tastes quite nice, but I'm not feeling anything from it.

    Lifespan of Joye 510 Cartos?

    Maybe I got a bad batch? I hope that's all it is because I really do like them if they'll last me a few days each.

    modding the 510 atty

    Just mark a spot and drill a small hole! On a 901, the hole is usually just above the atomizer. But the lower the hole, the greater the tendency for leakage, so I'd aim for somewhere in between the atomizer and the top of the bridge.

    Lifespan of Joye 510 Cartos?

    I have't actually counted refills, but I find them to last about 2-3 days of non-exclusive use (alternating between it and a regular atomizer). I love these cartomizers (the flavor and vapor are better than with an atomizer), but I'm experiencing a high failure rate. None have actually been DOA...

    I need help!!!!

    A cartridge is a plastic mouth piece with a filler material in it that holds the liquid. It attaches to an atomizer that heats it up. A cartomizer combines the mouth piece and the atomizer into a single piece. Manual batteries have a button to turn activate them. Automatic batteries have no...

    Sticky Mucous

    I'm approaching a year and a half of vaping and I'd say in maybe the past six months I've noticed that I have some thicker mucus in my throat some days. I've had chronic sinus problems for many years, so I'm used to post-nasal drip. The difference now just seems to be that sometimes it's thicker...

    When did you stop smoking analogs?

    100% success for me. Not a single puff off a tobacco cigarette since Oct '09 :)

    How many other's have you encountered vaping

    I was at a hotel in Atlanta last September and I saw a guy openly vaping away with an eGo in the bar. I was so excited! It was the first time I'd ever seen another vaper. I walked over, pulled out my 510 and we vaped and chatted for a while. I've not encountered another vaper since, though.

    whats the point of filling in so much within the filter

    I don't think that came with a drip tip (I see no mention of a drip tip in the product description). You might be thinking of a blank cartridge that came on the atomizer. If you do have (or get) a drip tip, though, yes - you'd place that on the atomizer instead of the cartridge. What you do then...

    Got my 510 - bleh

    My 510 atties never taste good for the first day of use. It's a common problem and I really wish they'd stop putting that nasty primer stuff on them! I blow it out, then flood them with flavored liquid, blow out again, then stick a couple drops directly on the bridge, then let them sit for 10...
