    Set up for my mom?

    My suggestion is to keep it very simple and fun. Check out V4L - there's a really friendly support group here, the products aren't a great bargain but the website makes it fun and easy (and pretty) to buy a basic kit and a handful of filled cartos and roll. Let her start with prefilled cartos -...

    How many of you still enjoy some kind of "Analog smoke" even though you vape?

    I chain smoked for over 30 years, really had tried everything. Haven't had one cigarette since the day I started vaping. And it wasn't even hard for me - I loved vaping from the very start and just treated the whole thing like smoking - set my intention and never looked back. They smell...

    How long have you been vaping, and what is your preferred wattage?

    3+ years. 1.5 or 1.6 ohms/ 3.7 or 4V, depends on the juice. I don't get real hung up on the math. Twist, Provari, fiddle til it tastes right.

    Super Easy DIY Method

    Phew. I feel better now. Don't blame you for wanting to break the ECF habit, it'll eat your life. I took a long hiatus once and it did me a world of good, but here I am, and the sun is shining out there and my dawg wants a walk... And yeah, this thread is terrifically helpful and fun and maybe...

    Super Easy DIY Method

    darkhood... I'm so sorry that my silly question provoked any sort of tension in anyone. I'm kind of confused - you did see by the arrow that I was calling myself a total idiot? I think you can't imagine how many people deeply appreciate this thread.

    Super Easy DIY Method

    darkhood, i truly love you. <--- total idiot. (But I'm a very good cook by all reports, and I cook like darkhood mixes. Batter on the ceiling...)

    Is it just me, or... (Vape Goddess)

    Yeah. Not so much offensive as sort of idiotically adolescent. I mean, there's certainly a niche that gets excited about ordering a Slow Screw at the bar and showing everyone their bottle of Screaming Mammaries, but... eye roll. Seems just awfully dated, too, actually. I really miss San...

    I know this may sound strange but.....

    This is ECF. No one is strange.

    Mandarin Orange?

    I'll second that - it's in my top 10. Not a candy orange (you can ask for sweetener) but a good, true orange (which in my experience seems to be difficult to achieve). The limoncello's great, too. (Open secret: if you like "icy" you can buy menthol and add it to anything that you love. I dunno...

    List of vendors who re-label & sell eliquid made by someone else

    I think it's a reflexive wanna know reflex, like when you find out that Burt's Bees is owned by Clorox and not some nice little old guy in Vermont... that the United States is maybe owned by China... Standard marketing practices have made us all somewhat chronically suspicious and cynical...

    List of vendors who re-label & sell eliquid made by someone else

    Oh! I'd like to know about that, too!

    Best eliquid website and why

    Huh. Is that for sure true about most old-timers, Caridwen? Just curious - I've been at it for a good while and am always trying new stuff and sure wouldn't be vaping what I started with. I've mebbe got a lot more perspective on what's really same-old and what's at least a bit innovative, but...

    Esolid, the gel/paste eliquid concentrate is back again

    New US legislative status map - please comment

    Great idea, thanks!

    All my flavors absolutely suck ;(

    If you liked that "chemically bubblegum" candy taste, go for the vendors that do that well! It's a place to start. I'm going to insult someone, but would suggest that you check out Ms T, DIY Flavorshack, SweetVapes for total sweet-tooth and get simple, familiar deserty flavors to start; and also...

    New to the Juice section.

    Oh goody. With all due respect and humbly, you haven't been tasting the um most beloved juices. You are in for some happy surprises I think. :) :) IMH opinion HHV is a good place to start - not my top fave but really likeable, fun juices. And also what Mr Mann says, he has palate. :)

    Anyone else feel like Mt BakerVapor is just so- so?

    Sassington, early on in this adventure I blew my entire big juice allowance on a line that many, many people loved (and still do). I hated it (and still do). Remember the classifieds! I haven't needed 'em because I have some vaping buddies who like to have my rejects, but if I'd known about that...

    Complex fruit flavors?

    Oh lord. You want complex, try some of the Ahlusion fruit flavors. Steep, steep. Wonderful stuff.
