    If you no longer inhale smoke...

    I just passed 8 months :) Strangely, the thought of smoking a cigarette has been coming to mind more in the past couple weeks than in all the prior months. I think it's because I've spent time sitting on my front porch with a cup of coffee on nice days and I always used to smoke when I did...

    I think my batteries are shot already

    Atomizer life varies greatly by user and quality (some atties can just be duds). I get an average of about two weeks out of my atties. It's not that they die on me, they just usually get clogged enough by that point that I'm not getting enough vapor to be satisfied. Rather than fight it, I swap...

    eGo charger and/or battery problems

    Cignot wasted no time in getting me a new charger since that seemed like the likely culprit. And I guess that's what the problem was because both batteries have been working consistently since I got that. I haven't had one refuse to charge again either. Yay.

    Good ol' DSE901

    Nice to see there's still some love out there for the 901. After using it for a while last night, I found the flavor was awesome, but short lived. If I recall, that's why I ended up switching to the 510 — more consistency despite a bit of a sacrifice in flavor. I think I may have to pull the 901...

    Dry skin on face?

    In the first few weeks after I quit smoking and started vaping, my face was so dry that my skin got very flaky (especially near my eyes). I drank tons of water and didn't feel dehydrated, but I peeled as if I'd had a bad sunburn on my face or something. It was weird and I still have no idea if...

    Proposals on how to replace lost State tax revenue?

    It's not our responsibility to replace tax revenue that's lost from us quitting smoking. Government (federal and states) never should've over-taxed us like that in the first place. What they need to do is learn how to manage our money and work with a balanced budget. They won't, though. They'll...

    new janty cartomizer

    Oh sweet! I just recently tried cartomizers and I like the idea of them but hate that they're round. I even tried cutting down a 901 flat tip mouth piece to stick on a 510 carto. It fits, but the draw is too light. This Janty carto design looks like it would be perfect for me! ETA - Yikes. I...

    Good ol' DSE901

    Hubby is off to bed, so I'm sitting here alone, surfing the web, watching TV and vaping back and forth between my eGo with carto and a regular 510 with regular atty. Then I decided to organize my tackle box o' gear. Heh. I didn't get very far with that. One of my old 901 batteries still had a...

    510 carto + eGo cone + 901 flat tip ??

    Yeah, I think the actual diameter of the carto is the same as an atty. It's just the paper that adds the thickness. The paper is already starting to peel on my first carto, so I pulled at it a bit to see if it might come off without much trouble. Nope. I'd have to work at it for a while and then...

    510 Cartomizers

    Ah. That might explain why I'm getting occasional spurts of liquid through the end cap even though I know this thing is not overfilled. Maybe I better try out that silicone ring ;)

    Just tried Ariva

    Well if that's true, I guess sucking on it like a mint is a better way to go. I actually found that the effects of that one little Ariva stayed with me for a while afterwards. I could tell I had some nic in my system and have been reaching for my e-cig less.

    510 carto + eGo cone + 901 flat tip ??

    Cool, thanks for the tips. I figured I'd use my Dremel for the cone cut-down. As for the cart tips, the only 510 "flat tips" I've ever found are the whistle tips. But the 901 flat tips are truly flat, which I prefer (more comfortable, I think). I never knew they were actually longer, though. I...

    510 carto + eGo cone + 901 flat tip ??

    I had no idea how to title this thread... I've got an eGo, a 510 cartomizer and a 901 flat tip mouth piece. I want these things to all work together, but I think I'm going to have to make some modifications for that to happen. Here's the situation: eGo cone + 510 carto The eGo cone fits a...

    Just tried Ariva

    I enjoy the occasional snus, but since it's not exactly discrete in my mouth, I'd been wanting to try some dissolvables. Someone on here mentioned Lil Brown Smoke Shack as a good vendor so that's where I ordered (I hadn't been able to find the products locally). They arrived today and I just...

    510 Cartomizers

    I just got some blank 510 cartomizers yesterday (the soft cap ones from litecigusa). I popped the cap off, no problem, and below that was a little silicone ring. I also had to remove that in order to add juice, but wasn't sure if I was supposed to put the silicone ring back in or not. I left it...

    510 cartomizers

    I just got some 510 cartomizers yesterday for the first time and I think the filler is very dense compared to what's in a regular cartridge. It seems to take a long time to soak in and really fill the thing. So, yeah, I'd say it's more "thirsty" ;)

    Refilling Carts

    I've gotten juice on my hands and fingers many times, either from leaks or while filling a cart. If I'm home, I wash it off. If I'm in the car or out someplace, I just wipe it off. The little amount you get on your hands of normal strength nic liquid isn't going to seep in and poison you. The...

    Nicotine Safety

    Nicotine raises blood pressure because it's a vasoconstrictor (constricts your blood vessels). Whether or not that's a concern depends on an individual's health and the amount of nicotine used. Even when I was a two-pack/day smoker, my BP was always normal. After six months of vaping (and not a...

    Ok is it just me or do E-Liquid manufacturers need to do their part?

    Oh dear God. Now ambo-chasing lawyers are using the FDA's crappy report to cast a class action lawsuit net across the web? I fear the apocalypse is nigh.
