    Caffeine e-juice?

    No, No and H*** No. That's just wrong. Drinking mocha coffee while puffing away, yes. Caffeine is readily available in different drinks. Why would I add it to my e-cig and get rid of the pleasure I get drinking coffee, tea, Coke and Mountain Dew?

    How many black people smoke ecigs?

    I'm the lady in question who said they would market Bling cigarettes in Harlem and followed it up by saying it was a joke in the same post. If you're going to selectively quote me, please refer to the whole post. Or at least the paragraph that you've twisted. I grew up in Harlem. It's where...

    Break Even Point

    Basically, I've been in the black since the first week I started vaping. Decided on a M401. VSlims 120's were 76.48 a carton, two months ago in NJ. I smoked between 1 1/2 and 2 packs a day. Since I started vaping, I've smoked 1 and 3/4s packs of analogs. I've been cutting my juice with VG...

    fired for vaping??

    At least a consultation with a lawyer won't cost you any money. Labor board is great idea. I worked for a multi-national that was constantly being sued by their ex employees. Good luck.

    Yay, everything failing at once...

    With my cell phone, I pay a $40+ maintenance fee every month, so comparing your cell to your e-cig is not exactly an apples to apples comparison. Trog100 is absolutely right: I chain vape. I buy at least 1 battery a month. And at least 3 attys, if not more. It's still cheaper than my pack...

    Disclaimer

    Use gloves when handling. Change to: Avoid contact with bare skin. Not for use by pregnant women or non-smokers. (I've seen this used a lot by on-line vendors.) But, seriously, run this past a lawyer to avoid liability.

    Thank you yvilla, I couldn't find this and I knew that I'd seen it before. Flavored, as defined above, is a tiny piece of the market. A lot of this legislation was agreed upon by Big Tobacco in order to settle Federal lawsuits. Smokeless tobacco, pipe tobacco and cigars are also a very small...

    I hate usps tracking

    I had one of those online delivery yes, actual delivery no, so I printed it and went to the Post Office the day after my package supposedly arrived. They asked if I wanted to speak to the Manager, and I said no, I just wanted my package. Which they couldn't find and yes, the Manager did get...

    What was your first PV, and what is your current set up?

    Automatic M401/2 Kit. Still using it. Don't smoke anymore. Recently got a 403 and manual 401 batteries. Prefer auto. My only complaint is keeping the cart juicy...because I chain vape.

    Pure Grain Alcohol Question

    Everclear is available at the liquor store. Smallest bottle you can buy, as it goes a long way. You will not want to drink this...or at least, after one taste, I don't. If 190 proof is illegal in your state, try 150 vodka.

    What's for Dinner?

    DiGiorno half and half pizza in the oven right now. (Once a month treat.) At our late lunch we will talk mostly about politics (hubby is a rabid politico geek.) And the Mets will come up at 15 times during the conversation - talk about depressing! Since it's just us, the conversation ranges all...

    Quitting Smoking

    I got a freebie of two bottles from a vendor just marked "Cigar" and I have no idea whether it's French or Cuban. I do know that I use it in most DIY mixes I make. Great tobacco flavor and a hint of nut in the aftertaste.

    Menthol smokers and ex-smokers..

    I agree with Darth Vapor. Bought menthol crystals on eBay to spike the taste. Mint is too bland.

    Is my atty dead?

    There are two schools of thought to this. 1. You simply have not found the right combination of cleaners to degunk your atomizer. Find atomizer cleaning threads, do some of the recommended cleaning. Spend a lot of time and money on products to get atomizer back up to peak performance. 2...

    Quitting Smoking

    Not having tobacco around is a good start. I had 3/4's of a pack left and smoked 2 in the morning and 2 at night until they were gone. Didn't buy anymore...but hubby smokes, so they're always in the house. Yes, I wanted to light up and kept grabbing the e-cig. Got higher nic juice. Played...

    Silly Question

    As a place to put the e-cig in each room. That way, when I don't know where it is, there are only so many places to look.

    Actually, you need to follow the money. Less than 1% of tobacco sales involve flavored tobacco products. Big tobacco can afford to lose these sales. Menthol is used by considerably more smokers, and would actually cut into profits. As far as gagging and coughing - I did when I first smoked and...

    Friends of mine told me about getting ticketed in NY because of the smoking laws. Cigarette in mouth, not lit up yet, on subway stairs. Bloomberg and Guilianni are responsible for a number of laws that they claimed would improve the quality of life in NY. It's just ensured that I go into the...

    Unable oquit analogs yet

    The problem is that flavor and strength requirements are subjective and vary from person to person. I went from 11mg to 16mg to 24mg. That was my sweet spot, but I also cut the strength for some DIY flavors and am happy with a mix of 24mg and lower. I smoke menthol, but love the camel, R2...
