    Ready for a really stupid ???

    My rules for myself are: I do not clean my cartos with anything I would not swallow. Everclear is expensive, but I think cheap rotgut vodka works just as well. Rubbing alcohol would blind you or kill you, so I wont take the chance of vaping any. Boiling water is very effective, but I cook, so...

    Ready for a really stupid ???

    Okay, just an opinion here, but I wouldn't try it. Mr. Busardo did a video once showing how fast the filament in a carto could flame & smoke out if not kept wet. Judging by that video, I would suspect the carto filament is easier to snap than in a standard atomizer.

    Tank/Carto problems

    Personally, I prefer Mr. Busardo's slotting method. There is a video where he goes step by step. I think I have more control of how large or small the slots are. Plus, it gives me an excuse to steal my Dremel back from my husband!

    My eGo-T Mishap

    Don't be so sure its juice. Not to be crude, but its probably backwash. Because its vapor gathering & returning to liquid form, it has all the qualities of the original juice. What you should try is using the transparent tanks & remove both pieces from the mouthpiece area. That way you can...

    Ego Carto/Tank Recommendations

    Plastic may be too big to fit through the holes in the tank. Also, read up on how some flavors weaken the plastic. Just not a good idea!

    Ego Carto/Tank Recommendations

    My favorite is from Crystal Clear Vapor. They have the nickname "Resurrector'. It's a single coil cartomizer, which may sound like it's weak, but it is a FOG MACHINE! Lots of vapor, great flavor, and a reasonable throat hit fueled by my ego battery! Easy to fill by condom method, easy to...

    Safe to vape juice with grain alcohol???

    I think the answer is hidden in the nature of addiction. I contend that every single person walking this earth has some form of addiction. Drugs, booze, chocolate, salt, exercise, talking, sex, etc. The two questions that have to be asked are: 1. Is this intense desire hurting me or anyone...

    Tank/Carto problems

    Your priming may not have taken. I usually do all that you have done, then rest the tank assembly in an empty shot glass for at least a few hours, if not overnight. There is a lot of space in the carto tube. The 10 drops will help draw liquid from the outer tube into the carto, but that is a...

    My eGo-T Mishap

    When I was using ego tanks (back in the stone age as I walked to work, in the snow, uphill, both ways) I used to deliberately take that piece out with a paper clip. Doing that seemed to allow more of the vapor to escape instead of condensing and making me think my juice was backing up!

    mouth inhaling versus lung inhaling NEED HELP PLEASE

    Draw into the mouth like you would a milkshake through a straw, then draw it into your lungs from your mouth. This cuts into the throat hit, softening it. I smoked that way so I vape that way. Some people draw direct into their lungs like it was a respirator. Throat hit is much harder that...

    Question about "Dry Burn"

    You have the basics, but DANGER WILL ROBINSON! When you dry burn, you can, if not careful, break the coil. I always dry burn slightly moist, running the coil under hot water then shaking all excess out. You don't want to press that button long or the coil will overheat & break. Game over...

    vaping and constant throat clearing-HELP PLEASE

    All of the little hairs in your throat go almost entirely numb when you smoke. Vaping seems to allow some healing to take place. Those little hairs get hyperactive for a while after they wake up. It can feel like a hay fever attack in many ways. Stay the course; they will settle down.

    O.T old fav movies ?

    I'll just toss this in for what its worth: my husband and I have literally hundreds of Dvds because he likes to buy whole seasons of shows. I buy sets of films, but 8 disks of West Wing beats 6 disks of the Thin Man movies. I don't recommend netflix online through a gaming system because it...

    vision maz tank stone v3

    I just bought my first set of these from a vendor I trust. Two questions: First, the draw seems far tighter right out if the package than I had expected. Is that normal? Second, all 3 are very tippy on my ego batteries and my epower 18650. They seem to screw into place correctly, but the...

    What is happening to my taste buds? help!

    Okay, Thraizer, I am going to try to be delicate about this: First off, most coffee type flavors have enough of the same components that if you "go numb" on one, the rest will follow. Can you get a small alternative bottle? I would recommend the Cherry limeade from Mad Vapes. It doesn't...

    What is happening to my taste buds? help!

    Can you tell me what flavor you're using? Believe it or not, some flavors do that. Have you ever opened and smelled violet perfume, only to think there is barely a scent there. Then after you close the bottle it seems like you're drowning in flowers! The scent of violets has an anesthetic...

    Paranoid and Anxious... Weird Reaction...

    I think caffeine in vape depends in the flavoring agents. Stay out of the colas, coffees, teas, etc. My other suggestion would be to watch him as he inhales both and note differences. One of the problems I had when I started vaping was that I was trying to toot the ecig the same as the analog...
