    Menthol vapers / former menthol smokers: Need advice

    I smoked menthols for years so when I switched to vaping I wanted to try OTHER things besides menthol (and menthol tobacco, especially). Just my $0.02 worth. That said I found Mt.BakerVapor's "Thug Juice", as others have said, a pleasant menthol. The menthol smoker in me REALLY likes their...

    Yeah, I know! Right?!? I usually like more flavor shots because I know that a higher VG ratio tends to mute flavors some but my real hang up is fruit flavors. It's not MBV's juice in particular either... it's all the vendors I've tried. "Fruit" flavors typically taste much more subtle to my...

    I'm near the bottom of my forth or fifth tank of Whiteout on one of my AGA-T2s and trying to figure out what I might put in instead so I dug into the back of my steeping shelf and pulled out a bottle of vintage 3-30-2013 "Hawk Sauce" 18mg, 50/50, 4 extra shots. This is a juice I *want* to like...

    Cgr18650ch in a natural???

    I've been rotating four of them (along with a pair of Smok 2800 mah 18650s) between my Vamo and my Sig #8 for a few weeks now. Never a problem in either device... and I vape a LOT. :D If you've read detailed threads on them you know they are a "hybrid" chemistry that is supposed to be "safer"...

    Quality Silica Wick vs. Cheap Silica Wick and Alternatives. Help?

    Here you go. He's currently sold out but he's sold out for a reason too and I expect will be restocking soon: XC-116 Ceramic Wick Kiln Treated – Big Tex Vapor

    Quality Silica Wick vs. Cheap Silica Wick and Alternatives. Help?

    I never pre-torch my silica. I'll hit it with a lighter quick but that's about it, and that's only because I have cats and the first hit you take off of a new coil that burns some cat hair will make you extra cautious of doing it again, if nothing else ;) I find too much "pre-torching" tends...

    What Flavor Are you Vaping Right Now?

    Just finishing off my third or forth tankful of MBV's "Whiteout". Thinking about trying a tank of one of my other juices that have been steeping awhile but that Whiteout is soooo addictive!

    Ordered VAMO v2---Did I get the right batteries?

    Technically they should work OK. You won't find these on anyone's "highly recommended" list though. If you can, consider sending them back for a refund and buy AW, eFest or another IMR. The Panasonic CGR18650GH *is* on my "highly recommended" list, if you can find them. Amazon has been...

    Are you a non-smoker?

    Well said! Cigarettes are for smokers, not vapers ;) A mostly fictional story I've posted elsewhere on the forum before: A friend tried to give me a cigarette the other day, just to see what I would do. I looked all over the dang thing but couldn't find the fire button, much less any sort of...

    Quality Silica Wick vs. Cheap Silica Wick and Alternatives. Help?

    I've also rolled wicks out of cotton yarn, cotton balls and I just got some cotton cheesecloth that I have read others recommend but I haven't tried it myself yet. If you "chain vape" or tend to like hotter coils, etc. silica, ss mesh and the new ceramic "rope" that has been floating around are...

    Quality Silica Wick vs. Cheap Silica Wick and Alternatives. Help?

    I buy my silica from PBdragon.com They generally have lots of sizes in stock, their prices are hard to beat, and I find their silica of a much better quality than that I've gotten from some other vendors in the past.

    Are you a non-smoker?

    Someone on here has something similar to this as the tag line in their signature: Calling personal vaporizers an e-cig is like calling nicorette "chewable cigarettes". For me adopting a "non-smoker" frame of mind was the golden key that helped me *finally* replace the stinkies with vape. It's...

    I run them in my Sigelei mechanical. Great battery! "Safe"? YMMV.

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    Nice! Thanks for sharing! You DID use the same tank on each device? What tank? What coil? And where does a guy find one of those inline meters cheap that's in stock?

    What are you waiting for in the mail?

    I'm stocked up on everything! :D Really I'm waiting for the Sigelei #19 mechanical that I bought on a pre-order. A couple of weeks to go it sounds like :glare:

    2013, the pyrex upgrade

    THIS is the #1 reason why I don't own a pro-tank. I love having an assortment of different drip tips... and devices that can use them.

    2013, the pyrex upgrade

    Anything you can change the head on is technically "rebuildable"... I rebuild everything, even two dollar stardust CE5 clones... but that does not make them an "RBA" ;)

    Whats the deal with Pluid? Why is it so difficult to meet the demand for this juice?

    I gave up trying to find enough Pluid to make it my ADV and discovered MtBakerVapor's "Absinthe" as a nice alternative. Just split up a 236ml bottle of it between my wife, two friends and myself... and it only cost $38 ;)
