    Mixing Help...

    I make my own 0-nic in 3ml bottles. Rough recipe: 70% PG 30% VG a couple of drops of 151 rum (Don't have PGA, and already had the rum) a few drops of flavoring. Go a little light on the flavoring at first and try it again after it's set about 12 hours. A couple of flavors I've...

    Just purchased a Volcano Magma, questions.

    I have a Magma and re-fill my carts. I do like the Cherry and Vanilla, but am semi-addicted to eLiquidPlanet's watermelon and VaporStation's apple. I use both coffee filters and blue foam for filler and have had pretty good luck with both. Took a little fiddling around to get them just right...

    Considering the volcano Magma

    I have a Magma and I like it, so far. I've had mine about three weeks and use it daily. Volcano's shipping is about 4 days to Texas, so I think its pretty good. The customer service is great, and they have their own forums where you can get a lot of info and help with their devices. If i had...

    Who are your favorite online vendors?

    I've had great luck with Volcano (volcanoecigs.com) for hardware. The factory carts are ok and make good blanks now that I know how to mod and refill. The customer service is fantastic and the shipping is great. Vapor Station (VSVapor.net) has good juice. I think I'm addicted to the...

    Any E liquid taste like Velvete?

    I'm pretty sure he's talking about the Velvet crimp cut pipe / cigarette tobacco. It's what I smoked in my pipe for years. Guess that makes me officially a grandpa!

    the best filler??

    I've used coffee filters and blue foam. Both work, but what works best depends on the device and the juice. I have a Volcano and a Magma. The volcano likes the coffee filters with vapor station watermelon a lot. The Magma works better with blue foam and the same juice. Also seems that the...

    Finally a post! Have some general opinion questions. (Blu/Volcano)

    Yes, there are a lot of poor reviews of the Blu/Volcano on here, but there are also a lot of people here that like it. And many that say keep it as a backup or second PV. As to your quesiton, I've had good luck with eLiquidPlanet and VaporStation. The only problem with either of them is I...

    first time filling carts, problem

    Something else that can help, when you refill, pull the insert out of the cart and use a q-tip and clean out the mouthpiece. Then before you re-assemble wipe down the insert and clean the grooves like davidsipes said.

    Blu let me down

    I can't really address the Blu directly as my only contact with them has been one that a friend has, but I have the Volcano which is very similar. Most of the time the Volcano works just fine for me. I do re-fill some carts but also use factory carts and I top off the carts from time to time...

    What Brand Analog Did You Quit???

    Camel non-filtered for about 25 years, then Doral light 100's for the next 15 years. Still have a couple of Dorals a day, but after a pack and a half habit and only 3 weeks of vaping, I'm looking at it as analogs not smoked, not totally quit. It's been hard. I'm out of pipe tobacco and...

    What is the best E-cig to buy

    Well, just to throw in one more opinion. I have both a Volcano and a Magma. I use both daily. The Volcano is a mini (L88B) so is very portable, great to have at hand for one puff and put down needs when I'm at work at my desk. It's eliminated the short, get up and go outside smoke breaks I...

    Imitation Coconut Extract--AMAZING

    I make a lot of 0-nic juiced for myself mostly using Lorann's, but I've also used some McCormick. Most of the McCormick that is available here isn't usable, but there also isn't a very large choice (small town in south Texas). Have to avoid anything that has sugar or syrup in it. I also avoid...

    Anyone else dive into this Full Blast ?

    Been vaping for nearly a month now and have spend nearly $400, so as a pack and a half a day smoker it'll take a couple of months to break even, but that's not the real reason that I started. I like to fiddle with this, I make my own 0-nic juice that I use to extend the carts. I think I've...

    Just started and quit

    I started with a Volcano and a couple of weeks later got their Magma (510). When I'm out and about, I still prefer the Volcano and it seems cheaper to feed. With the Magma I think I vape more than I really need to but it still has some "new" left on it.

    Well, seems like a good place to start posting. BTW, been vaping for nearly a month. Was surprised to find out how much I like flavors like watermelon and how much I disliked menthol. I know, off topic, but couldn't really figure out what the real topic of this one was!
