    USPS - The Evil Empire

    I'm no lawyer, but I'm fairly familiar with USPS policy as I've used them as a shipping carrier exclusively when it comes to a small business (non-ecig-related) I used to run. If the sender does not pay for insurance at the time of mailing or the time of printing electronic postage for an item...

    Is 24mg nicotine level just too much?

    I used to chain 36mg when I started three months and a half months ago, I'm down to six or twelve now, still hit something stronger when the urge strikes..but I definitely can't chain-vape anything over 18mg without getting pretty messed up nowadays. I'd get a bottle of whatever you have...

    I have gotten unintended benefis from vaping!

    Speaking of Dew, pretty decent Mtn. Dew flavor if you haven't already found it: Mountain Dew E-Liquid Nicotine Someone sent me a bottle in a trade and it's actually not bad, even has the carbonated 'throat burn' sensation.

    Polycarbonate tank cracking

    Fun fact, acrylic suffers from the same issues as PC it seems, discovered today vaping black licorice with an acrylic drip tip. So if you get a glass/metal tank with a removable drip tip, it's worth investing in a good SS or glass tip as well.

    Mt Baker Vapor - Beginner Starter Kits, Intermediate Starter Kits, Mechanical Mods, USA Nicotine E-Juice and Friendly Customer Service.

    Not often that I sing the praises of a vendor, especially in their own thread, but I feel this really necessitates such praise. Placed an order a couple nights ago, got it in two days as usual (amazing seeing as we're on opposite coasts, my friend over in Cali gets your shipments in a day...

    saving money?

    I know for a fact I'm nowhere close to breaking even, but I really don't care anymore to be honest. I was a social/light smoker towards the end, only a few a day tops, and packs were cheap, six bucks or so if I remember correctly for a pack of Skylines back where I used to live, course they...

    Newbie Mistake

    I'd recommend 14ga for straight VG, personally. 18ga does work but it's a pretty hard 'draw' into the syringe, for me at least, probably because I draw one-handed and hold the bottle with the other. I use 18ga on mixed liquids, flavorings, PG, etc, but the only needles I'm happy with for VG...

    what's your vaping "technique" ?

    Well, last thread about this topic started a huge argument if I remember correctly, but I'll still chime in with my two cents. As others have said, there's no real right or wrong way, the link Caridwen posted is the 'proper' way to maximize nicotine absorption based upon various studies...

    Do you voop?

    Absinthe would probably work pretty well, that's what I use myself when I'm trying to drown out solder fumes/general shop smells in the basement work area, not only does it mask the taste of anything you get in your mouth on an inhale, it fills the air with a decently strong black licorice...

    How many times can you reuse

    Not sure why you need more tanks for those, the only parts that generally need replacing after being used for a while are the coil heads, a five-pack is about $8 most places. The tanks don't wear out with any appreciable quickness unless you put a 'tank killer' juice into the Evods and damage...

    Why is there a mint lifesaver in my package?

    I don't recall where I ordered from when this happened, but I do remember getting a piece of hard candy in a vapemail order once. It's just a thing some sellers will do, gives you that added little incentive to order again, cause hey, free candy!

    Uh oh

    Yeah I was about to suggest the same as jcco, dilute it with a few drops of distilled water, repeat until it's thin enough to vape. Also I believe you can use vodka/PGA to dilute as well but don't quote me on that, I personally wouldn't use alcohol because I don't like alcohol-base flavorings...

    Possible to develop a PG allergy?

    Just cause it crossed my mind, tried rubbing a little Vaseline on the affected area? Could just be drying out. If you're vaping from the corner of your mouth that would rule out irritation/abrasion from the drip tip/carto, which would have been my next suggestion as I suffered through that a...

    Possible to develop a PG allergy?

    It's funny you say that..because, well, I just had a facepalm moment. Dry wick.. Can't believe I overlooked that. I should have known from how I asked the question too, because it doesn't happen immediately, only after a few hits, and pausing for a bit fixes it temporarily (juice wicks to the...

    Possible to develop a PG allergy?

    Maybe not an allergy per-say, but at least a negative reaction to PG? Used to use 80/20 and now it kills my throat after a few drags if I try anything less than 60/40 or 50/50. Don't think it's flavorings as I haven't changed my rotation lately either. Hopefully it's something else causing my...

    Do you voop?

    While I don't voop, I can give you another 'do I want that in my lungs' example: voldering. Yes, I vape constantly while soldering mods/misc electronics. The nic helps steady my hands (used to drink until I spilled Guinness all over a motherboard), not to mention the vaping drowns out the...

    Question about the Mt. Baker freebie juices

    Yep, confirmed again, just ordered some flavorings and bottles, asked for the freebie to be 70% VG and H2O and they took good care of me :) Been having issues with PG the last few weeks, or so I assume, and wanted to try an all-VG liquid, for the low price of free I figured there was no reason...

    What Is The MOST Horrible/Stupid/Ridiculous Juice You've Ever Vape/Buy? (Referring to its taste, brands, name, anything!)

    Probably a tie between MBV's French Vanilla and Elixir's Mt. Dew..got the French Vanilla in a PIF and it was..not vanilla at all. I don't really remember what it tasted like specifically, either I couldn't figure it out, or I blocked that particular memory, it was just that bad. PIFed it again...

    Finally going to spring for a decent RBA..any suggestions?

    Yep, just found a Youtube video with a link to some guy on Facebook who apparently makes said steel sections, course I haven't had time to click through and read to see if he's selling commercially or if they're one-offs. Later today I'll read the page and see what the deal is, if they're not...

    Mt Baker Vapor

    They've been having issues with their main supplier, and it sounds like it still hasn't been resolved unfortunately. What kind of cartos/etc are you buying from there? Post names/links and we might be able to recommend alternate sources for some of the gear. There are also other places that...
