    industrial grade / pharmaceutical grade PG

    All I get from the MSDS sheet about PG is that it's a potential irritant. I have no worries about vaping a few mls/day of diluted PG. My only concern is what effect it could have over years of use. Even so, e-cigs have already been around for like six years, and as mel_vin pointed out, there are...

    Please classify your first cigarette experience for my research- A Dubd1c3 Poll

    None of the poll answers fit well for my first smoking experience: I was 17 and hanging out with a friend who smoked. For no particular reason (just curiosity, I guess), I asked her if I could have a drag. I didn't cough or think it tasted bad or anything. I believe my reaction was "What's so...

    I think I'm losing interest in the "fruity" flavors ?

    Vanilla has been my main go-to flavor since I started vaping. I mostly vape it by itself, but sometimes I mix in a little fruit or tobacco flavor. It's really only recently that I've started enjoying fruity flavors by themselves. I've been finding strawberry especially refreshing lately. Must be...

    has anyone had any troubles with "Premium" brand?

    Those holes you're describing near the LED, do you meant little notches in the edge of the LED light cover? If so, those have nothing to do with the function of the e-cig or the battery. That's just the way they're designed (every model of e-cig with a LED seems to have that exact same piece)...

    eGo charger and/or battery problems

    I haven't charged mine through a USB port; I've just been using the AC wall adapter. So if the charger is the problem, it's got to be the charger itself in my case, not an issue with the voltage coming through it. I've got a new charger on the way, so I'll let you know if that solves my...

    vaping & coffee

    I went through a couple odd coffee phases when I quit smoking and started vaping. Phase One: Caffeine seemed to have less effect on me. I could drink way more coffee (and did). Phase Two: I lost my taste for coffee. Well not entirely, but I didn't enjoy it as much and drank less of it for a...

    E-cigarettes worry anti-tobacco groups

    LOL. I'm sure "non-alcohlic beverage" was a typo. :toast: -- Meanwhile, this part makes me want to scream: Retailer: Psst. Little kids. Come 'ere. I got somethin' tasty for ya: a nice toxic tobacco cigarette that will make you cough and smell bad. Sounds pretty good, huh? Kids: Sounds...

    Ego adapter for charging

    Is the USB-to-battery portion of the eGo charger the same as a regular 510 USB charger? I have an issue with my eGo that I think may be charger-related and I'm wondering if I can simply stick my 510 USB charger into the eGo's AC wall adapter (to charge my eGo with) or would it only be safe to...

    I now know why they want to ban e-cigs...

    I just hope government learns the errors of it's ways (hahahahaha) in why you don't put such an undue tax burden on a segment of the population. At the time I quit, I was paying like $50/week in cigarette taxes. That's insane! I don't blame anyone or any company for trying to find ways around...

    eGo charger and/or battery problems

    Oh good idea. I'll try that on the next charging cycle (right now I'm using one battery while another is (hopefully) charging.

    eGo charger and/or battery problems

    No, but they still look fine still — no visible build-up. I've only had these for a few days and had no juice leak at the atty-battery connection point. Yeah, I think it's likely the charger. I had a bad 510 charger once that caused some of my regular batteries to flake.

    Cart Mod for better refilling

    I've never gotten the straw mod to work right. It leaks every time I've tried it. Clearly I'm incompetent with this mod ;) I know the concept works well, though. Sometimes I'm able to create a channel in the corner of my polyfil that allows air to flow up. I get better vapes and more efficient...

    eGo charger and/or battery problems

    I got my eGo on Thursday and the first full charge for each battery gave me a glorious 10 hours of vaping each. Second time through one battery didn't charge at all — the indicator light on the charger never turned green, but I'd read these take about 3 hours to charge fully, so after like 4...

    Weight Gain??

    It's been 7 months for me and I'm at the same weight as when I quit smoking. I had some depression for a few months that initially made me eat less and exercise less. But as that passed, my appetite has come back. I'm now struggling a bit to get back into my exercise groove so I don't gain...

    "cells exposed to an electronic cigarette -- one that dispenses a smokeless dose of nicotine -- stopped growing entirely"

    So then stem cells are healthier when exposed to, say, the smoke of a Marlboro red than the smoke of an ultra light cigarette? And OMG... vapor = stem cell DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was a really poorly worded article and I'm not even sure what the writer was trying to tell us, but I don't think...

    Where Can I Get A......? dse901 blank whistle tip carts

    Once in a while I'll use a 510 whistle tip or round tip for a few hours, but I always go back to my beloved 901 flat tips. They just feel better in my mouth and I get a better draw with them. They are definitely a snug fit the first time you cram one onto a 510, but after a few hours, they...

    Many people have stopped vaping.

    I was disappointed after my first e-cig purchase (an NJOY Pro) and gave up rather quickly too. But several months later I found this site, learned a lot and got a DSE901. Had I believed it could actually replace analogs for me I would've put a little effort into doing just that. But I barely...

    First few vapes in the morning are Nasssty!

    Same for me. I make a cup of coffee, sit down, grab my ecig and all is right with the world :)

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

    The whole reason I started buying my liquid from Johnson Creek is because they seem to be doing everything that would be required of them if e-liquids were being regulated. I like their liquid, but what drew me to them initially was confidence in the brand. They're registered with the FDA as a...
