    With the Novas giving burned hits, make sure they're topped off as best as possible, let the liquid soak for five to ten minutes, and ensure your Vamo is set to RMS mode, think you hold down one of the smaller buttons for ten seconds or something and it'll display 'NO2' or similar, the button...

    Feels like a cigarette in the hand?

    I run a generic 808 cigalike for those situations, the only limitation you run into is having to carry a few extra batteries and cartridges with you in a case or pocket. Battery life is decent, and if you don't get a massive XL battery, the weight and size is similar to a wide/100-style analog...

    Lungs not clearing?

    Same boat here, never coughed anything up but I still felt like my lungs were clearing out regardless. Nothing says you have to cough up lung-fulls of black tar to be healing.

    How long to cough again by smoking a real cigarette?

    Very true, I coughed literally twice on my first analog years ago, and since then, even after I started vaping, I can still light up with absolutely no cough what-so-ever. Don't let coughing be a clue as to your body's recovery, unless a chronic cough is going away after starting to vape! FWIW...

    Colored 808 cartos?

    Wow, no clue how I missed the blanks on Halo's site, and the V4L ones look pretty spiffy as well! Thanks for the links :) probably pick up some from Halo to mix and match with those batteries.

    Colored 808 cartos?

    Anybody know where to get cartomizers in colors besides black, stainless, and white? Preferably unbranded but I'll take what I can get if they have to have logos printed on 'em. I heard Halo supposedly has colored cartos but I only saw pre-filled on their site last time I looked. Found...

    Atomizers are the actual coil portion that vaporizes the juice, clearomizers have an atty and plastic/glass tank to hold liquid, usually along with wicks depending on the design to draw juice into the atomizer coil. Cartomizers are metal tubes with stuffing/filler and a coil running through it...

    Adapters

    From what I saw the epuffer is either 808D1 or 808D2, just not sure I'd gamble on which one. Haven't looked at Smoketip but I'm guessing 510 if they won't fit..

    My transition to vaping, and what I learned

    The 808s are still the best cigalike for battery life as far as I'm aware, is why I still use them when I'm out. And I'd beg to differ on that point re: the Vamo being an eGo. 'ego/510' in the context you're using it is simply the type of threading present, has nothing to do with the form...

    Should I aim to give up?

    I don't believe I've seen it put better anywhere on this forum so far. That's exactly how I feel on the matter as well, it's not a requirement, I don't get irritable without it, I just like having that kick in the mornings, especially as I don't drink coffee. Nicotine does the same thing, and...

    My transition to vaping, and what I learned

    Nicotine level can impact the taste, yes, I forgot to mention that as I don't notice a huge difference with what I vape, but I'm used to certain things by now after vaping for two months. Higher nicotine is going to be a harsher throat hit as well as a spicy sort of taste, might mute softer...

    510 threading

    Sounds like 510/eGo threading. Look into eGo-style clearos and tanks if you want to see what connects to the outer threads.

    My transition to vaping, and what I learned

    Yes, you can cut your 12mg with 0mg in whatever ratio you want to get 6mg (50/50), 9mg (75/25), etc, and it'll preserve the taste as well. Works wonders if you start stepping down nic level and don't want to DIY or need more gradual steps than 6mg increments most pre-mades offer. Wait till...

    New to the forum, not to vaping, could use some diy help...

    Let it steep, while you wait on that, get yourself four more posts so you can post in the DIY forum on here, they'll be more than equipped to help out! Lack of vapor I can tell you right off is from making what I assume is a 100% PG mix, I didn't see if you mentioned whether your nic base was...

    Need Help, 2nd Spontaneous Pneumothorax and still smoking.

    I'd recommend an eGo VV of some sort if you don't mind the thickness, though for a habit like yours you'd probably be fine with a cigalike, more realistic feel in your hand too if that's something you think would matter. Not sure on availability of cigalikes there, from what I've seen on the...

    I'm the "Devil's Advocate" to e-Cigarettes

    Very true, and excellent safety tip. I've actually found I'm less inclined to drink water while vaping heavily, when I should be doing the opposite, especially in 100-degree weather. Wonder if it's a mental thing or what actually causes that, and if I'm alone on the matter.

    I'm the "Devil's Advocate" to e-Cigarettes

    Personally, I wouldn't consider this a troll thread at all, I think it's probably a good idea, if taken a little too seriously in some of these replies. Not calling anybody out on it, after all, everyone has their opinions, but please remember text does not convey tone of voice. As far as the...

    I think I am going to cry...

    Candi beat me to it, but my first guess was you miskeyed your email address as well. Wait twenty-four hours to make sure it's not just server overload keeping you out/keeping you from getting their emails, check your spam folder, the usual. If you haven't gotten anything over the weekend, call...

    New to this

    Once you find a flavor you like it gets much easier, trust me. I used to smoke kretek cigs so I started with a few different clove liquids, finally settled on a DIY mix I really enjoy all day, and I've been smoke-free for just over two months without a single craving. As far as juices go...

    Novice questions about vaping gear.

    I'll second the Vamo V2 and Protank, or perhaps an Evod clearo/tank if budget is a big concern. Vamos in the classifieds go fairly cheap, and there's always Fasttech if you don't mind waiting around for a week.
