    Vote in this poll about ecigs on planes

    I voted yes, because at this point any public acceptance of PVs is good (Even a non-scientific throw-away poll, like the ones showing 99% of people wanting Ron Paul to be president). My actual opinion on the matter is that I don't care if stealth vaping happens on planes, and would myself do it...

    New year's resolution?

    Didn't see a thread yet, so thought I'd start one. What resolutions have you made? Mine is to complete my weight loss goal by April 1st. 17 more pounds to my initial goal of 82 pounds lost (started in March of this year). While it's not a resolution, I today decided I would reward myself...

    im a total newbie... so....

    Welcome! Just parroting what others have said, I guess, but an eGo type battery (riva and e-power are other brands of similar batteries) is likely what you want. There's a lot of different stuff to put on top the battery, but essentially you need something that gets hot (an atomizer), and...

    Evercool for Christmas...O.M.G........

    What a wonderful way to start the new year! I also want to give general thanks to the forum. I've been hitting up the classifieds section heavily for juices and spare hardware, and each and every purchase/trade the other person has included a "freebie" after they found out I was a newbie...

    Why do ecig mfg/suppliers seem so resistant to cigars or ecigs with brown wrappers?

    I was also a cigar smoker prior to vaping, though I got a pack of cigs (or cheap cigarillos/cig sized cigars) any time I had a long car trip or was going to a social gathering (10 minute smoke breaks with other smokers seemed more socially acceptable than a half hour cigar break). But, I would...

    Job Hiring Policies and Nicotine testing

    Out of curiosity, did you admit to nicotine use and pay the higher insurance rate or not? Promise I won't tell!

    My Mom...

    Congrats on your and her success. If she happens to be in the Tucson area, let her know about Freedom Smoke USA. Their in-store hardware is too expensive, but the juices are well priced and the atmosphere and customer service are good. She might like to know she's not the only one in town vaping!

    Upgraded to EGO-T and enjoying it

    Been vaping a couple months now, and my story is similar to yours. Started with a junky gas station brand, figured there must be something better, found the forum, and ordered the eGo-T. During the two weeks it took my eGo to arrive I went through two gas station starter packs, a couple refill...

    I need real tobacco flavors that dont taste like an unpleasant dessert!!!

    I prefer sweeter tobacco flavors (using Freedom Smoke USA Outlaw today) when I vape tobacco flavored at all. You might be surprised to find yourself liking sweet things in the future, but I also started out with plain tobacco flavor. I'm not much help, I guess, but I've heard the Dekang...

    Post your eGo-T Tips and Tricks Here!!

    Will I do any damage to my eGo-T atties if I boil them for 10 minutes or so (then let them soak a bit)? I don't have to mess with the wick at all before cleaning do I? I know there are many methods to cleaning atties, this sounds like the easiest so I'd like to try it first, but want to make...

    Travel and Vaping Airline Specifically Prohibits Use of Ecigs.

    Huh, cool. I'm sure it's been widely discussed in the forum, but this is the first I've heard of the 'double-inhalation' stealth technique. I tried it (didn't read a manual or anything, but was pretty self explanatory) and it works amazing. Easy to have virtually no vapor. Haven't had the...

    bump evertime you buy something new...

    In the process of buying 16 eGo-T atomizers from folks on the classifies sections (three different people). So far I've had great luck trading juices in the classifieds, hopefully buying for cash money I get the same results. Seems like a pretty honest community here, which is awesome. Also...

    Travel and Vaping Airline Specifically Prohibits Use of Ecigs.

    Huh. Well, that is new, and a little concerning. But only a little. Even as a daily vapor, I would be a little concerned if a cloud of vapor popped up a few rows ahead of me on a flight without warning. If they were allowed and you were to use one, the etiquette required would be to stand...

    Looks over use

    Hey, I can't beat google as far as authority goes, but I was in high school (96 to 2000) and saw it. My guess is there's some dude in America pretty ...... that his idea didn't get any traction in the late 90s. Edit: Wikipedia: The electronic cigarette concept first appeared in a patent...

    How do you carry your device-- Post pics of it.

    I'm looking for a box that will hold my 1100mah eGo-T battery, and an atty with a tank on it (the two parts unscrewed, side by side). the battery is like one centimeter too long for an Altoids box. Anyone else using anything like this? This would be for daily situations where I'm going out...

    On the road holder

    What's wrong with the seat next to you? And don't say "someone's in it"! If that's the case, put them to use as your official PV holder. You're the driver, you make the rules.

    Looks over use

    Oh, and I bet the atomizer still works! So suck on that, original poster, my Dad's has worked for over a decade!

    Looks over use

    Yeah atomizers don't last three years. But, as far as people saying they haven't been around for three years, they have, just not mass marketed. I remember my father (a nonsmoker but electronics engineer and enthusiast) bringing one home while I was in high school to show me and my mother what...

    Hypothetical Vaping senario..

    I'm not terribly concerned about banning of flavored e-juice. They're not going to schedule nicotine, that would lead to too many problems for tobacco companies (although big pharma would love it). And PG, VG, and food flavor won't be banned. So I could always go DIY. I am concerned about...
