    Side effects of vaping PG

    I'm also having one of my bi-annual cold, which always leads to sinus infections, wheezing-crackling lungs, bronchitis, etc. I think I'm getting over the cold. My sinuses are iffy - one's great, one is not. But the one that's not is just clogged, not burning, itchy and drippy. My lungs are...

    Does the HG M401 have autocleaning function?

    No blinking, maybe 10 seconds. (I've been in front of my computer on a PT all week, so this is from memory.) No change in flavor. To be honest with you, if another member hadn't alerted me, I wouldn't have noticed. I always check cartridges and usually refill on a battery change, so no dry burns.

    Lets make this clear on the liquid

    Blame Dekang for switching formulas and the wiki here for correlating bottle cap colors and strengths. Ever since Dekang added higher strength liquids, bottle cap colors have meant nothing. They also seemed to have changed formulas at the same time. For new vapors, that meant a change-over in...

    Does the HG M401 have autocleaning function?

    Genuine Smoore product - on your second drag of a freshly charged battery, you will hear it sizzle as an auto clean cycle takes over, no matter how light your inhale was.

    COPD, The E-Cig and Me

    I find that a good old fashioned crying fit can be very beneficial. The only problem is finding a time block where hubby isn't around, so I can bawl to my heart's content without him interfering. I tend to be very reserved and "in charge" in real life, so a good cry isn't something I can indulge...

    M401 - refills

    I had 4 cigarettes a day for about a week before I quit. I used to smoke a pack and a half to 2 packs daily. Many people on the boards struggle to totally quit after months. Many were able to quit the minute they got their equipment. And I still have cravings every once and a while, I just vape...

    M401 - refills

    Hi - You might want to try this. To fill: Push the flavor cart out of the mouthpiece with a paperclip or needle. Remove the poly-fil. Drop 5-7 drops into the empty flavor cartridge. Push the filling back in. Put another 3-4 drops in until the filling is saturated. Replace the flavor cartridge...

    Shouldn't All 24mg Liquid be the Same? Or am I weird?

    My Mom hates filling carts and only wants prefilled, so I feel for you on this. Keep remembering how much healthier this is for you. My Dad died of lung disease, so I always have that hanging over my head as an gruesome incentive. DVap, a member who is a chemist, tested liquids for...

    COPD, The E-Cig and Me

    You'd be surprised. I started getting sick right before I made the transition to e-cigs after smoking for 32 years. I've been in and out of doctor's offices, testing labs and the hospital. Where it says on the forms, do you smoke? I've been scratching out cigarette and putting in e-cigarette...

    A strange gamble with my addiction

    Hubby still smokes. I've been vaping exclusively for 4 months. About two months in I asked for a couple of hits off of his cigarette, expecting it to be awful. It was glorious. Scared me enough that I make it a point to leave the room when he smokes. (Very infrequently.)

    A different 510 Review

    I'm not a big 510 fan, but if mine gave me as little vapor as yours, I'd be really upset. I'm going to have to call this equipment failure. I've flooded the he** out of my atty and gotten much more vapor on both genuine Joye and Boge attys and batteries. My 401 produces more vapor than this...

    The benefits of leaving your e-cig behind

    MadVapes.com sells the 510 disposable for $9.95. You're supposed to get three charges on the battery, I'm up to 30+, so are most people who bought them. Atty, battery, charger, 2 or 3 cartridges. LiteCigUSA.net should be carrying them in a week or two, but MadVapes has them now. Won't break...

    HELP with my only broken atomiser...

    Atomizers are considered disposable parts and you should order a few to have around because they either last a few months, or a few weeks, or a day, depending on your luck. There is a modders forum on this board, if you are truly handy, that you can take a look at for atomizer repair. Although...

    help a noob?

    For any e-cig, you should have 2 attys and 2 batteries at a minimum. One battery can charge while the other is in use. My atomizers have a tendency to go bad in batches. I expect them to last between 1 and 2 months. Some people have gotten months of usage from an atomizer. However, it could go...

    Does the HG M401 have autocleaning function?

    On an automatic battery, when you recharge a battery and put on an atomizer, your second draw activates a cleaning cycle. And yes, this is for genuine Smoore products. Not sure about manuals.

    Has anybody found this yet?? (To All DIY E-Liquiders)

    There are threads that address this. USP Glycerine - yes. 100% Vegetable Glycerine - no. NOW makes both kinds. I have a 16oz bottle collecting dust. USP labeling demands that the glycerine is labeled USP Glycerine. If it says anything else, don't buy it. Glycerine that is labeled "Vegetable...

    What Flavor are you Vaping now? In what E-cig or Mod?

    Doublemint and menthol in the 510. Cream, vanilla, coconut and Capella vanilla custard in the 401. Alternating between the two.

    Which device provides the best FLAVOR hit

    For flavor - M401. However, their carts are smaller.
