    Pg & vg

    Since VG is thicker than PG, does it leave more gunk and shorten the life of the atty faster than PG?

    Juice questions

    I'll be sure to do that. Can it be stored in the fridge (in an opaque box of course)? If not, I'll keep it in the basement. I can understand you being nervous about the green Peach Cobbler; I would be, too. I have no idea what effect oxidation would have on this combination of chemicals. But...

    Juice questions

    Thanks for the very helpful answers. I hoped that the lightheadedness and runny nose were from the switch to vaping, so it's comforting to know other people experience the same things. I think I'm being careful with my nic levels. I was a heavy smoker, but ultralites so nic intake was around...

    Juice questions

    I sometimes feel lightheaded. Starting a few days into the change, my nose runs. At this point I'm not sure whether its too much nic (I doubt it since I stick to 11mg or less), too little (fine with me as I want to get used to less and hopefully none ultimately), a PG issue, or (most likely?)...

    Busted at Wal-Mart! lol

    I have to agree with Angela & VP. Looking for confrontation with the prospect of FDA limitation or ban looming isn't a 'guy' thing, it's an immature and dumb thing. We need to be smart about this - adding fuel to the antis argument that vaping is a way to circumvent smoking laws isn't smart.

    Ruyan direct liquids?

    I just tried JC mint chocolate madness and liked it. I've read about the problem with JC liquids clogging atomizers, but I also read that they solved the problem (I hope that's the case!). Does anyone know for sure?

    FDA vs more rational minds

    I'm not allowed to post links yet, but here's a comment by Dr. Michael Siegel, an anti-smoking activist who is in favor of e-cigs. "This is about as idiotic and irrational an approach as I have ever seen in my 22 years in tobacco control and public health... A public policy maker who touts...

    I love this!

    This experience is amazing me. I eyeballed e-cigs from the first time I saw an article in the Smokers' Rights newsletter, and finally dove in a couple of weeks ago. With a basement filled with boxes of Nicotrol, gum and patches that did nothing for me, I wasn't sure what to expect. When my...

    have i got this right??

    Welcome Rat! I assume you're talking about the 901. Atomizers can be testy critters... always test them while they're under warranty. Our suppliers are good about replacing any that come DOA. Definitely figure on topping off carts and refilling with your own juice - it will save a lot of...

    A full week w/o analogs. :D

    Congratulations! It helps me when I see posts like this. I'm on day 6 with my 901s, but still reach for analogs every now and then. The screwy thing is I don't really like them anymore, and I know it even as I reach for them. Hopefully I will completely drop them soon. Do you think using...

    This newbie is sold on Esmokeytreats

    I totally agree, and got my first kit from Phil, too. He got it from CA to NJ in two days. In addition to the extra atomizer and warranty, another plus is that he lists his phone number. I had questions and he got back to me within a couple of hours with patient, helpful advice. So my 2nd kit...

    Nicotine THAT bad? Or just a coincidence?

    Nicotine definitely has an effect on BP and heart rate. Some of the other chemicals in analogs along with byproducts of combustion aggravate it as well. When I smoked heavily my BP could go up to 140/86 and heart rate sometimes in the 90s. Stopping even just for a few hours would let it drop...

    Any one else having problems with E-Smokey treats as far as service of product ?

    I'm a newbie, but have ordered from Phil twice. First order was in my hands on the opposite side of the country 2 days later. I can't say anything about delivery of the second order, as I just placed it yesterday. Twice I've called him with questions; twice he returned my call and was very...

    I'm excited!

    Thanks for the tips. I decided on e-smokeytreats after reading the good comments here - all true! Dealing with Phil was a pleasure. He spent time answering my newbie questions, and by the time I spoke with him this afternoon my order had already shipped. So in a few days I'll be on my way to...

    our 1st week of vaping

    It's encouraging to see a story like yours. I went the same route - 901 from e-smokey treats. Just placed my order this morning and can hardly wait for it to arrive! Like you, I smoke 3 packs a day, so even being able to cut back to one pack sounds good to me. But I'm really hoping to do...

    I'm excited!

    This morning I ordered my first e-cig - 901 kit from esmokeytreats. Along with it I ordered some Chocolate and Strawberry juice to get started. After reading some posts about the effects of high nicotine levels, I decided go with low nic and 0 nic. I smoke ultralights, but smoke way too much...
