    I get embarrased while vaping in public

    With a nicostick or regular 510 batteries nobody notices what I'm doing. I was waiting for my car outside a lube joint near Trenton, NJ (lots of gangs/drugs in the area) and vaping on my Silver Bullet yesterday and one of the mechanics yelled "Yo, is that a PIPE?" I just ignored and that was...

    Bad Business Practice

    That's not against any "Credit Card Policy". If they state there's a 6 week wait, and charge your card immediately but ship within the 6 weeks, that is normal. Search "mail or telephone order rule", which IS the "credit card policy", read the FTC's explanation, and know what you're talking...

    Did I miss something?

    If you buy the atomizers from US suppliers they will likely have carts/mouthpieces attached. If you buy in bulk from China they may not. You can always ask the supplier before you buy. If those RCR123-A's you found on Amazon are the Tenergy's from Battery Superstore, they'll work for the...

    If you had it to do over...

    I would have skipped the 510 batteries and gone straight for the mods. Nicostick w/ 510 and 14500 battery, Silver Bullet and FogLog w/ Tenergy RCR123-A's. I also have a ton of juice from various vendors that I need to sell now and i would've skipped them all and bought up Nhaler juices instead.

    Question: If you could only pick three.

    So far no bad ones. I'd say the Banana was my least fav. I just ordered a double threesome of Orange Creamsicle, Pralines and Cream, and French Vanilla Coffee. Peanut Butter Cup is great. Black Raspberries and Cream is awesome - just got a sample today and will be ordering more in the future :)

    Anyone gotten arrested yet? Or at least hassled?

    I was at a wedding recently and one of the guys seated at the same table I was at was a cop who patrols the projects in Staten Island. I was doing a little somewhat-stealth vaping (holding the vapor in but not hiding what I was doing), and put the nicostick 510 mod I was using down on the...

    Liquid seeping out?

    Don't tape it - you need those holes to allow you to draw air through the atomizer and inhale the vapor. Try fluffing up the cart filler with a toothpick, paperclip, safety pin, or whatever so that the material is not dented any more. Then make sure you line up the flat edges of the cart with...

    Shipping status

    Call your local post office, ask for the packages department, and give them the tracking #. They may have it and not delivered it yet for some reason.

    Little Freaked Out, Little Panicky...30 Days In!

    I had similar issues, I wasn't panicky but felt stir-crazy and edgy after about a month. I made a concious effort to vape less and I cut some of my liquids with some VG I got off amazon. I think at 30 days I had just become more proficient at vaping and was getting too much nic because I'd...

    How did you first hear about e-cigs?

    I saw a BLU ad on a torrent client, watched some related youtube videos, including ritalee and igetcha69's reviews of the 510, and found this place. I saw some posts from people who smoked 4 packs of luckys a day for 50 years and quit using a 510, and figured that was the one to get, so I...

    "Solar 510" New product, solar rechargeable battery pack with ecig

    for $35 w/ the included e-cig it'd be a good price. Hadn't thought of using one for ecigs but you can get solar chargers for devices that have a USB adapter on amazon for about 15 bucks and use it to charge a regular PCC or ecig batt or passthrough. Search iphone solar charger.

    Dating & E-cig Question

    I'd say it depends on how well the date goes. My girlfriend says I don't smell like an ashtray anymore and she can't smell anything from vaping from a foot away from my face. However, she *can* smell the PG on my breath if I've been vaping and we're closer than 1 foot. A little mouthwash or...

    Nhaler-High Volatage E liquid...ugh

    Try dripping w/ a freshly charged batt - should be around 4.2 volts for the first 5 hits or so. Or get a mod - nhaler HV is awesome stuff!

    **BOOM!** Battery Failure

    Now that my DX order for CR2's is finally in the 'Packaging' state, I see this thread! Glad you're OK parma. I have a 5v magnum mod I've been waiting to try until the batts get here. Now I'm not so sure....I guess I'd need to drill out some holes in the aluminum casing and the PVC both...

    E-liquid transfer

    Wow, lots of great suggestions! I just give the dropper tip a quick wipe w/ a napkin, grab it, and twist it off each bottle. (You can re-use empty dropper bottles or buy new ones at usplastics.com - look for boston round dropper bottles.) Then i pour slowly and carefully from the big bottle...

    The best place for cr2 bats?

    Protected CR-2 don't exist. You can order them on dealextreme.com, but I've had an order open since 9-24 with no response from DX. I just placed an order yesterday from a guy on ebay, hopefully that gets here. I'm keeping the DX order open because the price is so good, but I need some now...

    What Nhaler Juices do you like to mix...

    I tend to start the morning off w/ 555 in a fresh PTB cart, then through the day I'll top off with Almond Joy, Peanut Butter Cup, USA Tobacco, RY4, and my own peanut butter flavor as the mood strikes me. I find that RY4 tends to take over the cart eventually.
