    Anyone take a hit and get instant burning in the throat and lungs like a hot steam burn? HELP!11

    I'm thinking something similar. New cartos that aren't properly saturated will result in the burning sensation described.

    What makes some smokers so resistant?

    Actually, they have to want to be open-minded about a safer alternative. They have to be motivated to try something different. I've been vaping for 4 years. I had no intention to quit smoking, but I was motivated to switch because I got fed up with escalating cigarette prices. I didn't need...

    What makes some smokers so resistant?

    There will probably always be some percentage of smokers resistant to vaping no matter what. Take my wife, for instance. BLU disposibles are probably best for her since it's the closet thing to analogs, only...the menthol flavor isn't strong enough for her. Purchased a Smoov kit not too longer...

    How to tell if a cartomizer is on its last legs

    That's a very good point! My cartomizer performance changes so subtly over time that I don't really notice the difference until I change cartos! And, oh what a difference! Here I was thinking how marvelous it was that I'd managed to extend a carto so long, but a good portion of that time...

    bad experience while vaping out and about

    Of course, there's the argument that it's not smoke, it's not illegal (in some places) and I have a right to vape whenever/wherever I want to. Well it's not illegal to fart, curse or scratch my...eh...whatever, either. But, as an adult I know when and where to "exercise my rights". It ain't...

    bad experience while vaping out and about

    Stealth vaping ELIMINATES negative reaction. There's absolutely no reason to blow vaper unless we choose to advertise to everyone, "I'm vaping." I vape EVERYWHERE. And when I absolutely HAVE to blow vaper, I do so where it doesn't hassle me or anyone else.

    Vaping a new way of life or to Quite Smoking tool ?

    I started vaping because I resent the hypocrisy associated with smoking. When they raised the price of my favorite brand $1 OVERNIGHT, I decided I had to find another (cheaper) source. Fortunately, I stumbled across electronic cigarettes.

    positive/negative response to vaping.

    I think people are far more receptive now than when I started 4 years ago. Advertising and the appearance of disposable ecigs in convenience stores and gas stations have familiarized people with the product, even if they may not vape themselves.

    I Feel Silly With Pink Juice In My Tank, Do You ?

    I felt more embarrassed, during my early days of vaping, showing people a bottle of e-juice with a crimson red label with skull and cross-bones logo. "...and, you say this stuff you're smoking is safe?"

    How to tell if a cartomizer is on its last legs

    I don't know that there's a universal answer...I usually get a week (give or take a day or two), then I switch cartos. The thing is, I became so concerned with stretch-ing-each-car-to-mi-zer-to-the-ful-lest-ex-rent that it became a bit of an obsession. I'm on a limited budget, but I'm not so...

    How long were you vaping before getting a Provari? What made you decide to take the plunge?

    Funny you mention that. As well as they perform, you'll still want to exercise caution using AW batteries. I'm usually mindful about not carrying batteries in my pocket since they tend to heat up. I ignored that practice yesterday and noticed my leg getting warmer. I knew immediately it was the...

    How long were you vaping before getting a Provari? What made you decide to take the plunge?

    Vaped 3 years before I made my investment. March marked my 1 year anniversary as a Provari owner. Didn't really know much about the Provari except for the fact that I couldn't afford one. Besides that I felt I didn't know enough about vaping to qualify as a Provari owner. But by the 3 year mark...

    BEST newport flavor!!

    Hey Kay...when you find that Newport flavor let us know. Finally got my wife interested in purchasing an e-cig and she's adamant about matching the flavor of her beloved Newports. As I said previously, I'd been a long time Newport loyalist since my teens (55 now), but after 3 years of vaping I...

    Provari vs eGo Twist.

    I have a Provari, but I didn't purchase it solely because of variable voltage or variable wattage or variable whatever. My reason is purely economic. I began vaping 3 years, 9 months ago to save money. I could no longer justify spending $6.00 a day for a pack of cigarettes. Unfortunately, for...

    Provari vs eGo Twist.

    Just peeped in an noticed the comment relating to the Provari menu system. Couldn't help but add my 2 cents. Given a list if all the things I might choose to complain about, the Provari menu system wouldn't even rate an "honorable mention". Perhaps I'm not a hardcore vaper but I do own a...

    Soft Tipped Disposable Cigarettes?

    Well I put your suggestions on the back burner and allowed them to simmer a bit. Then it came to me... ...my wife's birthday is Saturday. A new kit would be the perfect gift. Whether or not she decides to use it is up to her. Thank you all.

    Wow this is RIDICULOUS!!!

    Even if I were trading one bad habit for another, the question that begs to be answered is... ...WHAT DOES IT MATTER TO YOU? I'm either going to smoke or I'm going to vape. So unless you (figuratively speaking) can suggest a viable alternative to vaping, you can keep your opinion to yourself...
