    DSE 901-whats the deal?

    I have a DSE901 and I love it. My first e-cig was an NJoy NPro, and the 901 is amazing compared to that. You really just need to try it out and do a lot of reading here on the forum to understand how everything works and what all your options are. It can be a bit overwhelming at first. When I...

    The Firearms Thread

    Oh yay. A gun thread! The day after I quit smoking analogs, my hubby suggested we go to the range. I promptly vetoed that idea! Even vaping, I was going through withdrawal/detox or whatever and I was afraid I'd be unsafe. I've given myself clearance for target shooting now, though, so we're...

    Nic at Night

    That's it exactly for me. Even when it seems like I'm vaping nonstop, I'm really just grabbing a puff or two, setting it down, then grabbing a puff or two again few minutes later. I think when I first started with my e-cig, I kept trying to feel some sense of completion with it, like an analog...

    Did you buy your 1st ecig with the intent to quit smoking?

    I really didn't buy my first e-cig (Njoy Npro) with the intent of quitting. I bought it last winter in hopes it would work as a better substitute than Nicorette Lozenges for times when I couldn't smoke (or would otherwise have to go stand out in the cold to smoke). I did buy my current e-cig...

    Vape/Analog Friendly Airports

    I went through Atlanta in August and was in concourse D. There's no smoking lounge there, but there is a bar you can smoke in if you buy a drink. Funny how many smokers were congregated in there (myself included) with a $2 soda in their hands :D Now that I'm vaping instead of smoking, though...

    Intro and ever open to suggestions

    I was a 2-pack/day smoker and I'm finding that a similar routine works well for me too: 24mg in the morning and after dinner and 18mg the rest of the time.

    A list of symptoms when quitting tobacco and changing to an ecigarette

    I have a bottle of 11mg reduced PG juice from them (French Vanilla) and I really don't like it much. It doesn't hurt my tongue, but it kind of leaves an icky stale taste in my mouth (I think it coats my tongue). I don't have that problem with their regular PG juice, though. How long have you...

    Am i the only one?

    Raand1, I don't know if you're looking specifically for tobacco flavors or just something non-sweet. If the latter, and you like coffee, I recommend trying Johnson Creek's Espresso flavor. It's not sweet at all. In fact, I use it whenever I feel like I've hit a saturation point with the sweet...

    Stronger MG juice? or is it normal to puff and puff and puff.....

    I'm still trying to figure all this mg stuff out because it doesn't seem like any one strength is right for me at all times. 18mg seems to be a good baseline (for me), but sometimes I catch myself puffing and puffing in a desperate attempt to catch a good hit. When I finally realize why I'm...

    Having a hard day today

    I know what you mean. I'm still carrying the partial pack in my purse that I had when I quit. I haven't been able to leave the house without it because I still have the fear of being out somewhere and needing one. So many quitting smoking sites tell you to remove all smoking paraphernalia —...

    PG vs. VG

    After trying both, I prefer PG. The VG seems to leave something of a stale taste in my mouth after a while.

    Condensation around the mouth piece

    Okay, thanks. I figured it was just the nature of the e-cig, but wanted to make sure it wasn't just me since I'm still fairly new to this.

    Condensation around the mouth piece

    I have a 901 and any time I pull off the mouth piece I have to wipe all this moisture off the the part of the cart that fits inside the atomizer. If I don't, then it'll ooze when I put the mouth piece back on. I know I'm not overfilling my carts, so I'm assuming it's condensation. But it's...

    Having a hard day today

    The first couple days were the hardest for me and then it was and up and down thing over the next week or so. But day 11 for some reason was a tough one for me (and actually was the last tough one I've had, so I'm hoping I'm over the hump now). Hang in there.

    Blood test lab results for nicotine levels!!!

    Fascinating information. This makes we really want to get some blood work done in a few weeks.

    Such large amount of Nicotine in e-Ciggs

    I definitely went through withdrawal when quitting analogs, despite using my e-cig with 18mg e-liquid. So this makes sense to me: "Six puffs every 5 minutes would deliver the same dose of nicotine delivered by shallow inhaling from one tobacco cigarette every hour". That means 72 puffs of an...

    Finding the right Nicotine level

    Meanwhile, I've been the opposite. I was an ultra lights smoker (1 1/2 - 2 packs/day) and yet it wasn't until I settled in with an 18mg liquid that I felt like I was getting any satisfaction from vaping. I even find that I need a few drops of 24mg added in early in the day. Having said that...
