    Am I the only Non Smoker

    I'm with 420 here. Habits are not the same as addictions, and enjoying the flavors from a PV is a far cry from smoking a cig--someone who's in it for the flavors and using it with 0 nic isn't that likely to enjoy a cigarette. I don't buy the "gateway" argument in any discussion. People make...

    Sweet. Who got Kokopelli?

    Arm wrestle ya for it. ;) And don't think you can take me just because I'm a girl. I cheat!

    Grief from my husband

    Dude, you're supposed to be helping to convince the hubby that this is a good idea. ;) Seriously, though, this is far cheaper than chemotherapy. As a bonus, if you watch your spending and don't feel like you have to try *everything*, it's cheaper than smoking, too. It may take a little time and...

    Success!!

    If using mostly PG, is water necessary? Or is the PG enough to thin down amounts of VG less than 25%?

    My ecig caused a huge crapstorm at work.

    Not hardly. This isn't the government pushing a ban, it's just a company making a policy for its employees. Sometimes they make decisions based on facts, sometimes on personal opinion, and sometimes on just plain ignorance. If they make decisions based on ignorance, one can attempt to present...

    Sweet. Who got Kokopelli?

    I have quite a few Kokopelli things around my house, but I never even thought about it when I ordered mine. Who's getting this awesome Chuck? :thumb:

    My ecig caused a huge crapstorm at work.

    So, again, not even close to the same thing.

    My ecig caused a huge crapstorm at work.

    That's not even close to the same thing since people don't get second hand fat, and no one is going to be willing to listen to any sort of evidence about smoking vs vaping and the many studies done on inhaling PG when it's presented belligerently. I also don't think it's fair to call someone a...

    Cart life and juice life

    The flat rate for priority mail is what it is, and the companies selling supplies don't set those rates. The companies from which I've ordered *are* charging actual shipping--priority shipping. What you're arguing for is a first class option. Priority mail envelopes and boxes are free from the...

    The ultimate test...

    I'll be praying for comfort for your family as well as help avoiding cigarettes. My condolences to y'all.

    disappointed

    There's the Vapor King KR8 that Vapor4Life sells, but there's also a 510 Vapor King sold by another company. It sounds like the OP has the 510, not the KR8. I've only tried a couple of cart mods with my 510 atty--straw and PTB--but I quickly just switched to direct dripping. Others report...

    I think I'm ready to join the DIYers

    Thanks, Dan. I downloaded the calculator a few days ago--it was kind of you to put it up for everyone-- and I placed some orders last night. I've been making my own lotions and facial oils using essential oils for a while now, so I'm already used to determining percentages in terms of drops, so...

    Do electronic cigarettes offer the same "experience" as analogue?

    LOL I'm not going to give you grief, but I do think it's a naive thought. Plenty of us went years as light/occasional smokers before we woke up one morning and realized that we *couldn't* stop anytime we wanted to. Speaking for myself only... I mostly agree with the others, and I recognize...

    Advice for newbies from a newbie

    Don't beat yourself up about it. That first order is hard when you don't know what mg you need or what flavors you're going to like. A lot of people here start vaping and never smoke another cig, but some of us are easing into it a little slower. I'm thrilled right now because I'm down to half...

    I think I'm ready to join the DIYers

    Thanks! Actually, I think I'm going to add as *little* VG as possible, perhaps none. I had originally wanted to use the VG, but that aftertaste killed any thoughts I had about it being "the more natural product." :-D But I'm glad to know that *not* adding the sweeteners won't make my juice...

    I think I'm ready to join the DIYers

    LOL I haven't tried this at all yet, so you're a step ahead of me. :) I originally attributed the artificial sweetener flavor to the VG, but then I realized that two of my 100% VG eliquids didn't have that--they just left an aftertaste. And I did notice on one of the other bottles that it "may...

    I think I'm ready to join the DIYers

    I've been having quite a time with ordering eliquids. I wanted to go with VG, but it seems to leave a foul aftertaste for me. Eliquids from two of the super popular places were so sweet in an artificial sweetener kind of way that they disgusted me, and being VG based, they left the aftertaste...

    Carts vs. cartomizer?

    The only ones I've found are these at LeCig, and I'm not sure I'd want to try them. I read somewhere that they hold less than KR8 cartos and therefore have to be topped off more often. The description says, "These soft cartomizers look and feel like a real cigarette. Cartomizer tube is...

    Carts vs. cartomizer?

    Oh, just keep asking until you understand. That's what the rest of us do. :-D Though for these questions, I don't think I'll be much help. Hopefully, someone else will come along with more info. I'm pretty sure that cartomizers were (at least originally) intended to be a single-use disposable...

    Carts vs. cartomizer?

    Both cartomizers and atties are considered disposable, but how long they last seems to vary quite a bit between different users. The cartos are cheaper to replace--five prefilled cartos will cost me $12, and five atties will cost me $35--but as for which purchase will last the longest, I haven't...
