    Addiction to nicotine vs. addiction to the act of smoking/vaping

    I enjoy the TH I get with nic, but I've also tried some DIY with PGA instead. It's not *quite* the same, but would keep me happy in a pinch. Vaping 0nic is nice sometimes, especially we you have a really wild flavor (fruits for me), with a touch of menthol. Having something to puff on is...

    Your very first mod?

    Only mod I've picked up thus far is a bolt, with extenders, and a kick. Great first step from 'sticks'/eGo IMHO. Have been salivating over the pipe mods (jazz and epipemods exp)

    Has anyone tested a V2 battery?

    I started with V2 before they introduced their "4.2V" battery. As it is not regulated, performance degrades. An 808 size batt usually has a capacity of 280mAh on the outside (for the non-shorty variety). I can drain one with 2.6-2.8 cartos in 3-4 hours (not chain vaping, but fairly...

    Anyone tried the eGo Mini?

    It does look silly, but there is NOTHING WRONG WITH SILLY! :) :)

    blu is now everywhere

    I'm sure this has been brought up in other threads on the site (and almost assuredly OUTSIDE!), but the recent election has Washington State and Colorado opening up the conversation of personal choice with regard to an entirely unrelated substance. Knowing that this discussion is out in the...

    blu is now everywhere

    Several vendors sell "flavor concentrate", essentially their own custom flavors for DIY. it's not a stretch to see if the FDA greatly restricted nic base availability, we'd still have a market for the flavors. They cannot ban the hardware (by and large) unless there is a safety concern...

    Anyone tried the eGo Mini?

    I can see that LF shows these as true 3.7V device, but didn't see anything about regulation. In the past (way back in vaping-time, 2010-2011) the Rivas and similar became popular vs "genuine" Joyetech eGos because Rivas ran at 3.7V, but were not regulated. The egos (non-VV sorts) run at 3.3V...

    Ultimate ego setup

    I use my eGo+CE4/coils when working/driving, I agree that the ability to replace coils is handy, and a cost-saver if you are pinching pennies. It doesn't seem like alot at first, but when you are throwing down $5.00 (or more) for a full unit, but can get more coils for half that amount, the...

    901

    are you using carts with the 901? or dripping? Most 901 attys have nice flavor, warm vapor. The biggest complaint for most (including me) is the propensity for the attys to leak. I've been using them most recently on a mod w' a 501/901 adapter and using a drip shield. It's a nice, finished...

    "Noob" looking for some advice

    I second the "sampler" suggestion. It was something that I tried on my own and was glad I did. Your Boge 2.0 cartos are an excellent "base" from which to start from. Good performance, and not too expensive. Now I know in your OP you didn't want to get into atomizers, but I offer this for...

    Just Signed Up, Droppin By to Say HI

    your "saturn" eGo variation is *exactly* what I use as my on-the-go vape, only with different branded hardware. the CE4/Vision-esque clearomizers are (IMHO) a great way to start "sustainable vaping". easy to fill is a big plus. Mine do not leak, and I hope you have similar luck. The...

    Whats missing here?

    how is the device not working? no power (no light) when you hit the button (5-clicks of the button to activate)? is the coil not firing or creating any vapor (no popping sounds from the tank)? if the latter is the issue the tank could be screwed down too tight on the 510 connection. The...

    Need cartomizers, possibly also batteries

    I echo others in the thread. If you want to stick with the "cig stick" style for now, a KR808 kit works well (the volt is one of the better models). I personally would recommend a Smok Tech EGO kit from Liberty-Flights. Includes everything but juice to get you started (and the price is...

    name your fav flavor?

    DIY circus cotton candy. No matter what "regular flavor" I am rolling with on a given day I ALWAYS have a bottle of this with me, in case I get bored.

    Silver Bullet vs Bolt (with Kick)

    I assume you intend to purchase the batteries, charger and kick regardless of which device you intend to purchase. I personally would suggest a bolt to start. See how the finish holds up for you. The wiring *should* be of the updated variety. I agree with others in the thread, a SB is...

    Ejuice not allowed in the house.

    I have the exact same "problem". A few flavors that she doesn't like I make a point to use elsewhere (usually in the car during commute). It is good that some flavors don't bother her, I'd say that's a reasonable compromise. :)

    Hi - Looking for fresh inspiration.

    I've been vaping since 2010, started with KR808/cartomizers, then moved onto my eGo phase as well, then onto tube mods. Same for juice, tried vendors, now almost exclusively DIY a few well-liked (most are non tobacco) flavors. Will pick up an interesting flavor every now and then just to check...

    New e cig

    The WWOV pages are an excellent read, I also highly recommend them. I wanted to jump in with a personal example. Had an unexpected vehicle repair last month, took all of my "fun $$$" with it. Because of that I've been on an "extreme, LEAN vaping budget". Ego kit (2 ego 650s + charger + 5...

    Anyone vape at work?

    This is my situation as well, work in an office, vape all day. We also have clients, VPs, external vendors popping thru from time to time, so I've learned the fine art of keeping a low profile while inside the building.
