    Tossed the Ego T Atty..

    I haven't tried carto tanks at all yet, still using my eGo-T... This is why I haven't tried to change: Filling an eGo-T tank is so freaking easy. It can be done in a few seconds while I'm walking from my office to my car. I can't imagine filling a carto tank that easily. Or is it?

    No taste no flavor no TH

    Going to a convenience store, getting your goods, and sticking it in your mouth as you walk out can feel really nice, because that's what you did with your smokes. It might fulfill the "I need to go out and get my fix" craving. Also you do need to switch juices. For this reason, if you're...

    Top 10 reasons why vaping is better than smoking

    The list will be different for every person, or at least in a different order. Here's mine: 1) Don't smell like smoke 2) Less chance of cancer most likely 3) Can use in car and house Okay I only really have three. Also, here are the downsides for me: 1) Feel weird using it, have to...

    PV Juice Ingredients

    As a card carrying liberal, I'd like to thank the FDA for making sure snake oil salesmen don't rip off my grandmother and fly-by-night Chinese mercury peddlers don't kill my grandchildren with "get smart quick" syrups aimed at unsuspecting young parents. PVs are unproven and untested in the...

    Switching juices often - what's your method?

    How do you keep that collection charged? I can't even use rechargeable batteries in my remotes and cameras because charging them / keeping track of charges is too much for me. I'd be freaking out about battery issues with that many PVs. Anyway, my solution is to have lots of 3ml bottles. I...

    Didn't Buy Anything Last Week

    Seriously? Ziggy? Alright, alright, I'll get off your lawn. But on topic, I've decided to limit myself to my local juice shop and the ECF classifieds. My local shop is over half an hour away, so I've only been there three times (in six weeks) and only bought something one of those three...

    Silly Electrical Question

    Because unless you're doing something very, very wrong, you never flood the battery with juice. You might flood the atty with juice, and have to drain it. But you should never be pouring juice into your battery. That's just silly.

    Pg - vg ????

    I agree that you're probably using too high nic. I had sore throat and chest heaviness when I started, and blamed PG/VG for a few days. I live near a quality juice shop, so experimented with different ratios. Nothing helped. So I cut the nic. No more symptoms. Also -- your draw/frequency...

    smokers need lighters and matches

    No doubt I'll get into an "experimental" phase and end up with tinkering tools all over the place again, but for now I'm enjoying the minimalist lifestyle.

    size does matter

    I'm curious what disposable you used that was large, and where did you buy it? The blu disposables are the only ones I have tried, and if ever I am caught without my eGo, I'd like to get a bigger one that would presumably last more than an afternoon.

    What's next?

    Tube mods have hit their wall: Using good, cheap batteries was the main thing they could accomplish. Now they can regulate the voltage of the batteries they accommodate and give us a rough idea of how much battery life is left. What else do we want from a battery holder? The next steps in...

    smokers need lighters and matches

    I know a lot of people crap on eGo-T setups, but this is one big plus. Some of you carry some silly things. I carry a 3ml bottle of juice, my eGo-T, and a spare atty. At home I use the wall charger, and now have the usual drawer of juices, along with a few in package atties and tanks/caps. I...

    Losing my voice

    I do start sounding a little like Tom Waits after long vaping sessions. I've attributed it to PG irritation but have no particular evidence for this. It goes away after an hour of not vaping and I sounded worse after long smoking sessions.

    General Wasn't-a-Smoker-Before-Vaping Discussion Thread

    This is interesting. I have the same habit (picking and biting the skin), especially in the car and while using the computer in the evening. It can get pretty bad, with both sides of my thumbs and a finger here and there having scabs. Since vaping, it as drastically reduced. Still do it, but...

    Ego-T -- Use 50/50 mix for no leaks

    So I've had my eGo-T for over a month, no leaks. I didn't know what the eGo-T naysayers were talking about. Then today I filled a tank with 100% PG juice I got from someone in a trade -- leaked like crazy! The 50%PG / 50%VG mix I normally use has never leaked once. I guess that's the trick...

    The Ultimate brink and mortar e-cig shop

    I live near a good one, but it's basically a juice shop with one brand of ego-type hardware. Love it for the interaction, the juice selection/creation, but the hardware is lacking. I'd like a place where I could try several different types of PVs, including 5 and 6V, VV, and ego-types...

    liquid with best TH

    Do some natural or artificial flavorings have throat hit? Not something I've even considered, anyone know? If not, it's probably the PG level of the different juices that matters.

    Lava Tube: Better and cheaper than the Provari (video opinion)

    Where would the vaping community be if no one bought Chinese in 2009?

    liquid with best TH

    Anything that's 100% pg will probably have similar throat hit, after that it's the nic level. I started with 36mg (was dumb and figured, more is better!). Throat hit was too much for me and I'm happy with 12-18mg and around 70%pg/30%vg.
