    How Does Your Local Store Mix e-Juice?

    There's one shop in town that mixes it right then and there when you pick your flavor. They just put a couple drops of flavoring in the base fluid and shake it up. No gloves, hairnets or precautions of any kind. I've never been too concerned about it. The juice itself, however, wasn't very good...

    I love winding my coils :)

    I was never able to get the pin through the wick, I just started laying the silica wick on the pin and then wrapped. So far it's worked great. I found wrapping my own coils to be a necessity when using thicker juices(namely Boba's Bounty). The "factory wrapped" coils were plauged with dry...

    "Let me Bum a Smoke from you?"

    You may want to up your nic level. I started on 18 and went down to the next level every 2 weeks. I'm now at 6. I've also found some juices that I really like(Boba's Bounty is my ADV, I can't get enough). I was lucky in that I just switched over without much issue. However, for the past 5...

    What is your favorite E-liquid

    I've been vaping about a month. So far my favorite is Boba's Bounty. It changed my outlook of vaping from a tool to quit smoking to something that I really enjoy. I've also tried the Halo sample pack and really like their tobacco flavors. Voodoo and Turkish being the ones I liked enough to...

    How many e-Juice bottles do you have?

    I have 34, of which I like 3. I got started with a local B&M store and all of their juices have a disgusting chemical aftertaste. The juices themselves are pretty sub par. I thought this was the norm and something I would have to learn to deal with. I then ordered some AVE and Halo juices...

    Yup, I'm all in!

    Looks like I'm on the same track as you. I'm about 1 month in and have about a third of that...I've spent more on juice than anything....I regret none of it.

    Heads up for anyone interested in Boba's Bounty!

    I've ordered 3 times in the last 2 weeks. No problems and very prompt delivery. In my short time of vaping, bobas is my favorite. I really need to try some other AVE juices.

    Bought the Protank 2 today... Did I get ripped off??

    From what I understand you should be able to take both the top and bottom off. I'm going to order one soon from gotvapes. They show pictures of it completely disassembled. I've overpaid more than once, for items that weren't what I thought they were. I had no luck returning them and now only...

    Looking for a better set up.

    I've honestly had the best luck in rebuilding the heads of either protanks or vivi novas. I'm using 3mm silica wick which works well for thick juices. I spent about 10 bucks on silica and kanthal and have enough materials for a long time to come. The first couple of attempts didn't fare too...

    How old are you and how long did you smoke

    42 years old about 27 years of smoking about 5 years of patches-gums-chantix-lozenges-- all of which at some point I did in conjunction with smoking. A little over 1 month of vaping and have tapered my nic down to 6-12mg

    Vamo v2

    I've been very happy with mine, so much so I got another for backup. Prior to getting mine I read through the Vamo forum. For the most part they are problem free. Most of the issues that are known with the Vamo appear to be fairly easy to resolve.

    Well... that escalated quickly...

    You can count me in too. I've been at it one month and already have a load of stuff. No provari....yet. A couple vamos and an iTase MVP on the way. I like to tinker too. I've been rebuilding the heads in my protanks and evods almost obsessively. Just when I think I've wrapped the perfect coil...

    Chemical taste

    There is a bit of a learning curve, but I've found learning to rebuild the head of the protank improved the flavor greatly for me. I have a couple knock-off protank copies that were unusable. I watched a couple youtube vids on rewicking, ordered some kanthal and silica wick and rebuilt the...

    My first 6ml of Boba's from AVE

    I did the exact same thing(except 18mg on the nic). Got it Monday, vaped it all up, ordered 100ml. This is, by far, the best juice I've tried in my short vaping history(will be one month tomorrow). Right now I'm nursing the very last bit of it in my Protank. I don't want to be out, but I can't...

    Kanger protank rebuild

    I've rebuilt both heads that came with my kanger protank(as well as all the heads that came with my knock-off protanks). By far, the rebuilds out preform the heads that came with it. I have found that using thick juice kills them pretty fast (bobas). So I've been rebuilding everything I have. So...

    Buyers beware!! alienvapors

    I actually got duped by these guys. It was about a month ago just when I was brand new to vaping. I didn't actually know I had ordered bogus bounty until it arrived. I put it in my little clearomizer, inhaled, and well.....it tasted like a dirty sock. I also got the GJ, and I guess it's somewhat...

    Anyone else have a vape budget???

    I'm spending more than I initially thought I would. I was looking to stop smoking cigs and it's quickly turning into a hobby. As has been mentioned, it's the juice that's getting me. I've bought most of what our local vape shop carries only to find that I hate most of it. My first shipment of...

    Why are you getting into electronic cigarettes?

    I've been trying to stop smoking for years on end. I've tried literally everything, several times. Patches, lozenges, gums, chantix....everything. Before vaping i was using a patch on weekdays and 3 to 5 packs of cigs on the weekends. Then my weekend smoking starting flowing into the weekdays...
