    Hello! (and help!)

    With a Vivi, I press the button for a second or two before I take my hit. Normally, if anything has gotten into the center tube, it seems to burn it off beforehand. Don't overfill a Vivi either - they don't like that. I've been using 2 Vivi's for almost 3 months now, and they are going strong...

    Must we call cigarettes "analogs"?

    If this is one of your biggest problems in life (calling the stinkies "analogs" bothering you) then you should be counting your blessings. Tolerance is a virtue my friend. :)

    JOYETECH ERoll

    I don't know, it looks pretty nifty for someone who wants a cool looking cig-type vape, but truly, I have my Blu for that. And even though Blu takes a lot of heat in this forum, I still give credit to them for getting me started on my path of analog free. And believe it or not, I still refill...

    Any Simple Method to Keep Track of What Flavor is in Which Carto and Clearo? Help!

    I have 2 Vivi Novas and 2 Stardusts (back-ups) but I'm one of those people that only normally vape on one flavor at a time. One of the Stardusts has a Vanilla Coffee in it, which is a much darker liquid, and the other has my normal vape of a menthol/fruit mix that is my normal vape. The other 2...

    So... Those of you that feel vaping is becoming WAY too complicated... What do YOU use?

    My simple set-up and I haven't strayed since I got it. An eGo 1000maH battery, with a Vivi Nova. Simple, easy to use, easy peasy. I have no desire for anything else. I can see how this can get very complicated and expensive, but I never got into this to blow my money, I wanted to quit...

    What do you use to...?

    Why are you worrying about them staying vertical? I lay mine down on the desk in front of me, pick it up here and there to vape on, and that's it. Never had a problem with it. I use a eGo with a Vivi Nova, and no - never had a leak issue and I'm on this Vivi's original head for the last 2 1/2...

    Tastebuds Done Gone Dead.

    This is actually a pretty normal phase. You will get over it, everyone is different. My taste buds took a dive about 1 1/2 months in, and then they came roaring back. I didn't do anything, just chugged along on my normal routine.

    I tried so hard not to ask, and just read, but Im so confused and I just want to quit smoking analogs this century!

    Yeah, I know. They do come with extra heads in the package, at least mine did. But I'm going over the 2 month mark with my original head, and it's still running strong. I think it's well worth it.

    Wow! Can't believe I smelled like that!

    Thanks for the tip, I will try both if I have to. I hate the thought of them reeking, and can't really afford to replace them all. Specially my trade books, some of them were well over $200 a piece. :huh:

    Guys help me to stop smoking

    You know, I was a menthol smoker, and still vape menthol also, but what really did it for me, was flavor. Now I add flavor to my menthol, like Blackberry or Apple, or Watermelon, or Appletini and it changed my whole perspective. Now I like the flavors way more than I ever liked smoking...so...

    Wow! Can't believe I smelled like that!

    This is what keeps me from ever wanting to go back to smokes. It's the dang smell. EWWW. I picked up one of my books the other day, and was leafing thru it, and it reeked! Poor book - (I'm a huge reader, and my books are treasures to me). Anyone know how to rid books of the stale smell...

    New, but get the concept

    Could be something as dumb as the juice flavor. I can't handle citrus at all, it makes my throat raw. Also, some people have an aversion to the PG, maybe take that down and try straight VG or a more diluted mix and see if it helps.

    Newbie - And Full or Questions

    I quit smoking with 24mg juice. Now I use 16-18mg most of the time. I'm not too concerned about the levels. I've never heard of that e-cig brand - is it a cig look-a-alike? I started with a cig-a-like called Blu, but that didn't get me off the analogs, what worked was a eGo kit. Great job on...

    Two weeks in - am I getting healthier?

    Everyone is different, but it's been only 2 weeks. Your body will recover better than a lot of people here, as some of us were smoking for well over 30+ years. It took about 6 weeks before I hacked up some of the junk, and that lasted about a week or so, and that's gone. I sleep way better, my...

    Just saw my doctor

    :DOMG, tidegirl, hilarious! My doc is ecstatic that I'm vaping instead of smoking, and he's an older doc too.

    Stepping down from 24mg to 18mg strength. What should I expect?

    I stepped down to 18mg from 24mg, and not for any reason except I thought it was a good idea. I never felt I got too much nicotine with the 24mg. To be totally honest - I feel no difference whatsoever, but I'm sure it's different for everyone.

    Older Folks and Vaping

    I just wanted to buzz in and wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving! I'm still around, just busy busy busy! Still vaping strong, got some new flavors and even more coming (once VapeDudes get their act together, lol). Have a great Holiday, and for those going out on Black Friday, may the...

    How long have you been Vaping?

    Smoked for 30+ years, been vaping exclusively since I stopped smoking. Haven't looked back. :toast:

    Vapedudes?

    They have good juice, I do like a couple of the flavors very well, but the wait time is a bit overkill, specially when other great vendors are shipping much faster. If you are getting low on juice, then VapeDudes is not the "go-to refill fast" kinda place. I may order here and there from them...

    blu is now everywhere

    I started with Blu, still have them, still use them occasionally. People tromp on the Blu's badly around here, but they did their job for me, and they are what they are. They led me to this forum, and to my now eGo-Vivi-Stardust set-ups and no more analogs. Everything has its place, including...
