    Menthol crystals in lower mainland?

    Whistler's Peak is pretty good, have a bottle of it here, and a bottle of Cool & Smooth from NicFitNation as well.. would like to do something to this 30ml of Dekang Mango to try and change it from "vaguely mango" to just "menthol" flavour so that I enjoy vaping it. Right now it's ok but kind...

    Menthol crystals in lower mainland?

    Does anyone know a source of menthol crystals, or menthol flavouring? Bought a few Dekang juices that are "meh" (will give 'em a few days, maybe just an off taste day) but would like to menthol them up if I can. I've been to the local Alive! and Nutrition House looking for them, and a few...

    Should I try cartomizers?

    Yes!! Same here. I vape it until it's dry and then try to add more juice and it just runs out the threaded end hole. Trying a Boge 510 for the first time, at least you can observe the filler! Seems OK so far. The video says you can get maybe 5 or 6 refills before the carto goes south - how...

    Joyetech 510 Cartomizer

    (Click each pic for larger version) This is a picture of the atty part of the carto.. can't get any closer with the cameras I have. I've cut the fluff off it for a better look. The gummy looking thing in the center is the wick. It seems to have a loop that sticks up in an S shape to catch the...

    Joyetech 510 Cartomizer

    Here's what a Joye 510 carto looks like after you crack the plastic base with vise grips and pull it off. Rest of the pictures are terribly blurry, camera's macro feature doesn't work too well. The plastic shell has a single air vent running up the side to the mouthpiece (you can see it when...

    Joyetech 510 Cartomizer

    Tried them, I'm pretty good at vaping them until they are dry and burnt. Same with the mega cartos. Trouble is, when I think I need to fill them, and try to, it takes maybe .4 of a ml and starts leaking juice... dunno why I'm having difficulty, or perhaps my expectations of how a carto should...

    CANADIAN What local store/brand has the best PG/VG?

    Otter Co-op's pharmacy in Aldergrove, BC sold me 50 mL of PG out of the bottle they use for dispensing. If you go to their Cattle/Dairy section you can buy a gallon of propylene glycol USP for $40. That's great about the LorAnn flavourings being available, have been thinking it might be time...

    Brand new guy with a couple questions (ego)

    Thanks for the info, TL1000RSquid and LowThudd - have ordered 10 carts of each type, and a Dripper. I think my credit card just caught fire. Spending a hell of a lot of money on vaping so far, but hope to find something that'll work for me acceptably enough to settle into it. Dripping/PTB...

    Strangest thing, I can't taste my normal ecig flavors very well today - and I dont have a cold.

    I had equipment failure a week in to vaping (quit smoking analogs the first day the eGo arrived) and bought a packet of cigarettes.. holy cow they tasted nasty. Can't believe I smoked those for 16 years. The pack was sitting here on my desk, every time it caught my eye I thought "eww".. just...

    Brand new guy with a couple questions (ego)

    Would you have a link to these CE2 cartos? I've tried the Joye 510 cartos and the eGo mega cartos and have managed to burn both of these styles up. I've ordered some of the Boge (I think) cartos, the ones with the white rubber O seal on the end, haven't tried those yet.. and some KR8 cartos...

    EGO burned taste

    For serious?? Why is that? I've been doing it the other way around - length of the bridge goes in the long way of the cartridge. Perhaps that's why it hasn't been wicking so well. Wouldn't that decrease the contact area of bridge/filler?

    Ego mega xl cartomiser

    Have you tried the needle filling method? There's a sealed reservoir inside the mega carto that won't actually fill very well if you drip from the battery end. There's kind of a halo of filler down around the atty part of the carto that touches both the "reservoir" and the air channels, when I...

    Brand new guy with a couple questions (ego)

    I like my eGo, but I think my juice is too thick - 65%PG/35%VG from NicFitNation. I keep having to top off carts because they aren't wicking properly, and I'm pretty good at burning out mega cartos.. all 5 of them have a nasty taste to them now, even though I tried to keep them refilled. Has...

    eGo- Tea Bag Mod

    I have an eGo mega cart I'm using right now with the PTB "dart mod", has 28 drops of 65%PG/35%VG juice in it - no leaking so far.
