    AmeraVape's Erik Hutchinson Speak on the Manhattan Mod Controversy

    That to me is the bottom line, and I, for one, am grateful to you, and to any other reviewer who brings this kind of thing to the public's attention. After all, this is one of the main reasons people watch guys like you in the first place. In a completely unregulated market, the vigilance of...

    Custard's Last Stand- What to Expect?

    I thought CLS was okay. I didn't dislike it or anything, but I wouldn't bother to order it again, either. :closedeyes: My honest advice, OP: Don't expect the super-hyped flavors to blow your mind and change your world just because they happen to be momentarily popular. Sure, any one of...

    AmeraVape's Erik Hutchinson Speak on the Manhattan Mod Controversy

    So when you say "unelected vapor police" you mean . . . who, exactly? You mean the real life vapers who might actually have their faces blown off? :facepalm: That doesn't even make sense. ("buba lewy"???)

    Trying so hard...but I really need help!!!

    Hey, I'm totally with you on that - there's nothing more obnoxious than a reformed smoker who loves to feel superior. I never want to be that jerk either. Welcome to the forum, Xena222. :)

    AmeraVape's Erik Hutchinson Speak on the Manhattan Mod Controversy

    What a weasel. :nah: Absolutely. Nothing like watching somebody dig his own grave, I always say! :)

    Trying so hard...but I really need help!!!

    Congratulations! It sounds like you're over the first big hurdle. Once real cigarettes start to taste crappy - and boy, they really are gross, aren't they? - the battle's nearly won. Give it a couple more weeks, and you'll find yourself wondering how on earth you ever smoked those God-awful...

    What do you like most about Vaping?

    Of course I love being an ex-smoker, and all that that entails in terms of health, but I'm actually a bit surprised at how much I enjoy the tinkering, puttering hobby thing as well. I like building a perfect coil. I like dreaming up new flavors to mix. I even like taking a few minutes out of...

    TFA Flavours not tasting quite right, even with additives

    Clearly, we're both right on the ball here. :) I hope the OP has taken our awesome advice. That forum really is terrifically helpful.

    Todd - AmeraVape - Manhattan. Whaaa?

    You hope reviewers stop being frank about dangerous products for fear of being sued? Really? :facepalm: How on earth would that be a positive development?

    Butyric Acid - Alternative to Diacetyl, Acetoin and Acetyl Proprionyl but Toxic by EPA?

    I can just see the description: "A creamy, complex vanilla with rich, custardy puke notes and a hint of rotting chum on the exhale." :facepalm: Sure to be a winner.

    Walmart Vapor and gear!

    Well, sure. Most contemporary Americans "accept it as a given" - which is exactly why our country looks the way it does. :| And yes, multinational corporate capitalism is exploitative across the board. Absolutely nothing newsworthy there. The thing that surprises me here is the idea that...

    Help have ingredients but don't know what to do

    You could try this EJuiceMeUp tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=990MwntS5YU Very clear and concise, I think. Good luck!

    Should I pull the trigger on this order??!!

    I'm a relatively new mixer myself, and I'd only suggest you trust these good people. I did - I bought Inawera and Flavor Art flavors, Vapor's Tek nic and the recommended mixing gear - and I'm extremely happy with my DIY experience so far. It's a challenge, yeah, but it's also great fun if you...

    Inawera your best flavor. And my selection

    I don't use tobaccos, but my fruity favorite is definitely Banana. It's incredibly fresh and lifelike - absolutely great. I also quite like Tiramisu (which I do realize is not a fruit!) and Biscuit, which is a very fine mixer. The only Inawera flavor I'm not really fond of is the Lemon...

    Giving up on mech mods!

    I'm no expert (at all!) but I can't quite imagine how the mechanical mod itself could be completely trashed. I mean, there's nothing in there to burn out, right? Maybe you could ask about this in the APV Forum? Folks over there are pretty smart, and they might have a fix for you.

    Why do I like a cheap clearomizer over a Protank 3?!? Help...?

    Hey, there's no law that says you have to tailor your preferences to majority opinion. I never liked the ProTank either, and I don't share the current mania for air holes the size of the Lincoln tunnel. To each her own! That's what's so nice about our hobby. :)

    Wheeling and Dealing: Big Tobacco Gets Bigger Still

    This morning's New York Times has an interesting article on the machinations of our friends the tobacco giants, including some major horse trading in ecig brands. Reynolds American to Buy Lorillard for $27.4 Billion...

    Walmart Vapor and gear!

    Yep. Everything they touch turns to mendacity and exploitation. I'd much rather see vaping gear sold by independent local shops, be it high-end or budget. I live in the middle of nowhere, and starter cigalikes are sold at general stores and gas stations. No problem there - plenty of...
