    A carto realization- wasting juice

    I'm discovering the same issue as the OP, with the hard plastic Joyetech 510 cartos. An initial fill takes about 20-25 drops, but before I would've actually vaped all that, I start getting a dry taste and have to fill again. The refill won't take another 20-25 drops, it'll take maybe 10-15. My...

    Withdrawal symptons after starting vaping

    When I started vaping, I quit smoking completely and I definitely felt some detox/withdrawal symptoms even thought I was vaping 24mg. In the first couple weeks I had severe headaches, sore throat, nausea, muscle aches, join pain and more! It was rough, but it got a little better around the two...

    proof enough for me- barretts/acid reflux

    That is awesome, potholerepairman! I've had a lot of acid reflux problems over the years and I've actually noticed that since I quit smoking, it's a lot better. I reach for the Tums way less often now.

    Vaping...More harm then good? For me yes...Im done!!!!!!

    The problem with threads like this is that they're reactionary instead of informative. Why post an announcement about stopping vaping because of medical problems that you think are caused by vaping? How about quitting the ecigs, seeing how you feel and/or what the doctor says and then posting...

    What am I looking for?

    I've tried that style of 510 carto before and didn't like them either. I hated how fat they were (I don't use round tips on atties, so using a round carto that's as fat as the battery was awkward for me) and also how little vapor I got from them. But I just got the Joye hard plastic kind (these)...

    The war against electronic cigarettes

    That's a gutsy video to put out while the FDA is on its witch hunt, but I love that they did it. Thanks for sharing that link.

    Advice for slim e cig

    I vote for the standard 510 as well. I've got a couple eGo batteries in rotation, but I still prefer the size of a regular 510 battery. I just find the eGo too heavy and bulky, so I usually only use it when I'm sitting around watching TV in the evenings. So regular Joye 510 should be perfect for...

    Previous Analog Strength and Starting Nicotine Level

    That's true of me. I was a 1 1/2 - 2 pack/day ultra lights smoker. When I first switched to vaping, I started at 18mg but it didn't quite cut it for me. I quickly had to bump up to 24mgs to get through those first few difficult weeks. After that, I gradually dropped to 18mg and have continued a...

    What is that primer they use in cartos and atomizers?

    I hate the fluid that's in a new 510 atty! I've tried blowing it out, rinsing it out, flooding the atty with flavored liquid and then blowing it out, but nothing seems to work for me. Aside from just tasting bad, it seems to interfere with the atty's ability to wick the juice too. So the first...

    Importance of Air Quality Testing of Vapor

    I voted moderate because I'm more concerned about what it's doing to us vapers. I know the ingredients of the liquid I use and I believe it's safe, but I'd like to see testing that shows that. If it's proven safe to inhale, wouldn't that also prove that the exhale is safe for those around you?

    Did your doctor approve of your vaping?

    My doctor won't give me an opinion. I haven't actually asked for his opinion, but I've told him about my ecig use and he says nothing about it either way.

    Three-Breath Hold!

    2:04 :) I quit smoking one year ago after 20 years of smoking 1-2 packs/day. I tested holding my breath not long after quitting and I couldn't quite make it to a minute. So this is awesome.

    How well did Nicotine patch/gum/lozenges/inhaler work for you?

    I tried the lozenges and while they could curb my smoking a little bit, the longest I ever went without smoking with those was 8 hours. The problem was that the second I'd finish one, I REALLY WANTED A CIGARETTE. Sometimes I could do a willpower-stall on smoking for a little while and sometimes...

    One year!!!

    I did it. I really did it! With no plan and no set quit date, I spontaneously decided to see how long I could go without smoking if I gave it an honest try with my e-cig. And it's now been a whole year. Not a single cigarette since then, not even a puff. Do I miss it? Yes and no. I don't...
