    Why cartomize over 2 piece?

    When my 510 is performing at its best, I prefer it. However, I'm not there yet with having some sort of perfect 510 cart system down, so my cartos are far more consistent. Since I'm still smoking, trying to transition to only using my PV, consistency matters. I never wanted a system that I...

    She shoots! She scores!

    Just keep in mind that I'm not saying this is perfect. :) I just kind of played it by nose, and compared it to some bananas foster eliquid that I have and unfortunately can't use. I also haven't tried it after it's sat at least 24 hours, either, since I tried to dilute the flavor this morning...

    Yep, and some PG. His prices are so low that I would have been scared to order from him if it hadn't been for all the excellent reviews here. :) This is the first time I've ordered anything like that, so I don't have anything to compare, but I can say I'm a satisfied customer. It seems like...

    Menthol crystal and Tobacco Absolute question

    They're actually an excellent company, just overpriced. I find their prices are much more competitive on really expensive items like rose essential oil. And I know that doesn't really matter re: DIY eliquid, but I was beginning to feel like I'd bad-mouthed them by saying I wasn't suggesting...

    Menthol crystal and Tobacco Absolute question

    Heh. I wasn't suggesting *buying* tobacco absolute from them. :) But the info is still good.

    Menthol crystal and Tobacco Absolute question

    Answer to the "what" can be found here: Aromatic extraction methods. This page discusses various ways essential oils are obtained. Absolutes are about halfway down the page.

    Stroh, since you're in IL too, when/if I find it, you'll probably hear me singing the recipe from my rooftop. ;) I tried some of the V4L premium cartos in milk chocolate, and I like the flavor, but they seem a little harsh on my throat sometimes and I don't get enough vapor. Not to mention that...

    stock 510 versus ego/tornado.. looks.

    I don't think so. The higher voltage batteries that mods use are too big to put them in a small device. There are a couple of really tiny (and expensive) 3.7v mods, but the battery life on them sucks. It's a compromise. You have to give up small size for higher voltage and/or longer battery...

    stock 510 versus ego/tornado.. looks.

    You're in luck. :-) Someone just posted a pic last night in this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/73380-grief-my-husband-4.html#post1089432. The link should take you straight to the post with the pic. The eGo is not that big, really. Many compare it to a short...

    I counted drops of flavoring while I was adding them and wrote the amounts down. I've learned that lesson too many times. :-D I was eyeballing what percentage of the bottle the flavoring filled. Thanks for the alcohol tip. I'll try that next time. *sigh* I'm afraid I'll end up trying every...

    She shoots! She scores!

    I received my packages from Xtreme Vaping and Perfumer's Apprentice today, so I sat down tonight to play and made some 3ml batches. I can't believe I was worried about being able to do this. TH wasn't that great, but it's not that great with most of the liquid that I've purchased, either...

    Grief from my husband

    Technically, it is a 510, albeit one with a sleeker look and a battery on steroids, so it does have both good TH and vapor. I have an eGo (same device, different seller) and it's about as tall as a 100 cig, and the diameter of the battery (about half an inch) is not even as big as a dime. It's...

    Battery Info for the Chuck

    Man, I feel old. We were so excited when we got to upgrade to 2400 baud.

    Something I've wondered about but never asked...

    I'm still blushing. The Little Chuck that I ordered even has the word "barefoot" on it. Even my online friends know that I don't wear shoes unless I'm leaving the house. I will point this out to my husband the next time he asks if I'll wear shoes just because we're expecting guests and tell him...

    Grief from my husband

    I was pretty sure it was. I'm still really new at this and can't tell you how much I use in a day. I see anywhere between 1ml and 5ml on here, so I've been using 3ml as my "probably worst case scenario" for my own computations since I've been a pack a day smoker. On the bright side, if one errs...

    Am I the only Non Smoker

    Ignorance can be cured with the liberal application of facts. Unfortunately, there's no cure for stupidity. :) I get what you're saying. The deal is, non-smokers who start vaping will surely be telling friends that it's not addictive, giving them info on the ingredients used, etc, just like...

    Am I the only Non Smoker

    It's easy enough to point out that a) there are no addictive substances in 0 nic liquid, and b) just about every single non-smoker in this country is a regular user of the substances in 0 nic liquid since those ingredients are all present in the food they eat.

    Am I the only Non Smoker

    There is a *huge* difference between encouraging a non-smoker to vape and accepting an adult's decision to vape. The OP also has the right to make his own decisions. I will never tell someone he shouldn't do something merely because it might cause the tyrants to take away my rights. The FDA is...

    Am I the only Non Smoker

    Yep, still with 420. :) That non-smokers might begin using the device, or that it's (my personal favorite) "for the children," are only arguments used to sway the public, just like those arguments are used in every money/power grab. It could just as easily be argued that a non-smoker who...

    Success!!

    Thank you. I did read correctly, which is why I asked if the water was necessary for a mostly PG liquid with a little VG, because that's what mine will be.
