    A few noob questions

    When reading the original post, I couldn't help but feel lucky since it could have just as easily been me. I felt so angry and helpless at the price of cigarettes shooting up $1.00 overnight that I would have immediately jumped on the first smoking alternative I saw.

    pocketing e cig

    I've actually been too fearful to risk carrying my pen style e-cig in my pocket. I can easily foresee me using it and mindlessly laying it on a shelf, table, chair, etc. and forgetting where I put it. Then, of course, is the surprise of finding some freshly washed item left in a shirt or pants...

    Started Today - have a couple of questions?

    Excellent advice. It should be noted too that there really is a learning curve between smoking analogs to vape mastery, and a bit of the leaky cartridge problem might be due to "improper" vaping technique. I insisted on trying to use my e-cig like an analog until I tired of wiping excess juice...

    Is it right to promote these things amongst colleagues?

    I think that the people who frequent this forum are some of the most well informed, responsible people online. I consider myself blessed to have run into such an informative group less than one week of my discovery of electronic cigarettes. But what, you may ask, does this have to do with your...

    The Classic Pen-style

    I know the question wasn't addressed to me, but I attached an eyeglass strap to my penstyle and wear it around my neck. Never have to worry about misplacing or damaging it, and it's always conveniently at hand. I place it in a small camara bag (which I wear on my belt) if I don't intend...

    Sure you haven't.

    Sneaking a vape at work?

    I have no problem explaining my e-cigarette to my manager. It'll happen soon enough. The thing is, I don't see the necessity of making an issue of it or drawing attention to myself if by doing so, I represent "our thing" in a negative light. It's not so much what you do...it's how you do it.

    Sneaking a vape at work?

    I remarked yesterday on how easy it was for me to vape at work, but this morning I think I'd better use more caution. Up til yesterday I was using samples. This morning I resumed vaping one of the new menthol-hi cartridges I received in the mail. So I'm ironing my kid's clothes...

    Sneaking a vape at work?

    I was surprised at how easy it was to to vape at work today. One of my coworkers did detect a smell and said it was rather pleasant. Had I not shown him what I was doing he would have smelled nothing at all. The funny thing is, I chose the pen style e-cig that looks like...well...a pen. So even...

    New tobacco tax increase already?

    You noticed that too, eh? :lol:

    New tobacco tax increase already?

    With all due respect, Lorddrek... ...I don't know and I don't care. When I walked into my local convenience store last week and was charged $6.40 for a pack of cigarettes I paid $5.40 for the day before, I knew I'd reached the ceiling of how much I was willing to pay. It was a godsend that a...

    Cart longevity

    Interesting that you'd say that because it's occasionally occurred to be how much I'd let a cigarette burn as opposed to how much I actually smoked. I was thinking earlier, too, how much the "novelty" factor plays into my new e-cig experience. With analogs, it wasn't so much that I craved a...

    Cart longevity

    Judging from the other responses, the think you're correct. Thanks.

    Cart longevity

    Here's a curious (non) dilemma that I'd like a few perspectives on. I've been reading posts that claim 1 cartridge approximates (a) 7-8 cigarettes, (b) 1 full pack and (c) a pack and a half. As a pack a day smoker, I kicked myself for neglecting to order refill cartridges and/or ejuice, and...

    Help! Which make? what model? which part no? Sooooo confusing...

    I'm a newbie myself. Welcome to the forum. I'm experiencing a bit of the same confusion but it's placated in the knowledge that I'm finally doing something to rid my body of toxins that come with cigarettes. There are many qualified members here, but I can address a couple questions and offer a...

    Purchasing carts

    OUTSTANDING. Thank you! BTW...I just tried my ecig for the first time. First impression... ...I think I might like this! I was more than a little apprehensive because I was concerned about whether it would successfully replicate the experience of smoking cigarettes and whether the menthol...

    Purchasing carts

    Thanks Kate. Actually, I have the NCIG, not the NPRO. Would you happen to know the replacement for that?

    Purchasing carts

    Thanks Wildsky. I've been reading the view concerning new carts vs cart refills. As much as I'd like to try refilling, I'd be mortified if I did something to ruin the atomizer after spending so much (for me) money. I have to admit, though, that refilling does seem more economical than...
