    The Standard Vape

    I'm frustrated with VapeRev - it's a seductive outlet but they provide no info whatsoever about the content of any of the juices they carry; you can't even specify vg/pc levels. At those prices I'd want a lot more transparency and personalized service. And yeah, those are gorgeous (and $$) mods...

    VapeRev...

    I'm kind of intrigued by VapeRev but none of their 'artisan' juice brands have a website - it's impossible to know anything about quality or ingredients, or get a feel for the vendors, or even to select vg/pg mix. For me, that disqualifies them as 'artisan' or having a rationale for charging so...

    Where is my cold?!

    I never talk about it much because, you know, cure for the common cold? Get real. But I haven't had a real cold for over three years. Check my join date. I've had a very few little 'starts' of colds, that sniffly feeling, but they're gone in an hour or so. And even that's extremely rare. I used...

    Feels like I tried to eat a golf ball...

    I get that whenever I have too much nic in my system - I even got it from 24mg patches years ago. It's my first warning sign that I'm gonna feel queasy. Never heard anyone else mention it, thought I was the only one. You may be overcompensating, slow down a little.

    Quetion about dehydration

    Get a tank Brita water purifier and keep it where it's close at hand - study, bedroom, living room, wherever you hang out. Get in the habit of always having a big water bottle in the car. Keep a glass on your desk at work. When you go to bed put a glass of water on the nightstand. I never drank...

    Wonderfully funny post, vegan. Next thing, they'll take away our kale.

    How long did it take you to get off analogs?

    Ten minutes, totally unexpected - as long as it took me to assemble my stuff and inhale once. Never looked back. That was after decades of very, very heavy smoking and many horrible, tortured efforts to quit. Ecigs were REALLY effective for me. I just psyched myself up in every way possible and...

    Sweet Flavors

    My daughter LOVES Sweetvapes - it's all she'll vape. I don't so much care for 'em, but they're true to the name. She even adds sweetener to their stuff, serious sweet tooth going there. She also uses cartos (Boge regular 2s) and never seems to burn juice. :)

    Almost every e-liquid I've bought makes me cough.

    This may not be for you, but maybe try 'mouth-inhaling'. The nicotine in ecigs is absorbed primarily by the mucous membranes inside your mouth so you'll get it. I vape like a cigar smoker - light hits at the top of my throat, lots of lingering and tasting in the mouth. That's after being a...

    Should we disregard every review??

    I shy away from things when I see things like 'drill the hole to make it just a bit bigger'. Uh...that's not how I roll. ;) DREMEL! DREMEL!! LOOK OUT!!! DREMEL TALK!!! (Aubs is tearing ... outta there, too...)

    (Sorry that was so long. I just felt like writing it. Maybe it'll be helpful to someone, who knows?)

    Share your story with me?

    Here's some tips that helped me, 3+ years ago: Drop the cigs altogether - you're torturing yourself and if you're gonna have withdrawal best to get it over with. Some of it is chemical dependence, but as you're getting your nicotine a good bit is psychological habit. How? *Vape like a fiend...

    If you had to pick one supplier, where would you get your liquids?

    Yeah, also Highbrow - I need Ahlusion AND Highbrow.

    FDA Corruption Charges Letter Verified

    My google search shows one story with that headline, from last April, and numerous FDA corruption-complaint stories going back a lot of years. FDA's shady entanglement with other big money players isn't very new news, I'm afraid, unless there's another "letter" and a new issue.

    recommend a menthol juice

    Rawr juices are all over menthol - not to my liking (even the lowest menthol option was too much for me, not a menthol lover here) but the breeze-lovers are very happy with 'em. Several levels of cool to select from. Dunno if they do all VG, though.

    Ahlusion - Yerba Mate

    Ahlusion stuff, maybe more than other juices, really, really does love steeping - even the "easy" flavors that are very good immediately become absolutely amazing over time. The Pineapple Upside Down Cake (my favorite desert), which I did very much like out of the box, is possibly the best juice...

    Highbrow Vapors Espresso, the perfect juice?

    Great review. I'm always open to try something new but at this point Highbrow is way at the top of the list, and a close second to my now-top-favorite Ahlusion. I LOVE his Cappuccino Diablo - it's a good robust coffee without any burnt or bitter taste and a very authentic sweet creaminess. I...

    Heathers Heavenly not so heavenly

    (There may be something to be said for evolution of taste, though. When I first started vaping 3+ years ago I was totally thrilled by the mass-produced Chinese juice [in sealed cartos, of course] that bridged me from cigs. I remember going around crying, "Pear! Pear! OMG it tastes just like a...

    Heathers Heavenly not so heavenly

    It's not really like liking or not liking okra, unless you've ordered juice in a flavor that you'd dislike no matter who concocted it, which would be foolish. It's more like preferring your grandmother's apple pie to Little Debbie's, Godiva to Hershey's chocolate or your favorite coffee barista...
