    What's your daily mL usage

    3-5ml per day. Mostly 5mg DIY juice, but some 18-24mg too. I was a 2 PAD smoker.

    Advice on first e-cig purchase?

    I have a Magma and I'm happy with it. I really like their atomizers as they seem to have better flavor than the Joye 510 atomizers with the e-juice that I use. I use automatics, but you might want to look at getting at least one manual battery as the are a little easier to learn on and less...

    510 battery compatibility

    Fairly well. The Joye is mostly the standard but other manufacturers make slightly different connectors. You probably wont have much trouble with a SLB or Boge but occasionally you'll have something that doesn't work. I have a fair mix of Joye, Volcano Magma (SLB), and mod batteries with 510...

    Need Help with Mixing Juice

    Glycerin (VG) will mute most flavors but it does add a little bit of sweet. I do prefer a 70/30 mix of PG/VG because you still get pretty good flavor. I get my PG from a local drug store and they have to order it too but it's usually within a couple of days so not a real problem for me. For...

    E2 Cartomizer Technical Discussion

    Just got my first ceramics. First one out of the pack about 30 minutes ago. Loaded it with raspberry juice 70% PG / 30% VG, and it's making clouds of vapor and very clean taste. I syringe filled and haven't seen any leaks yet. If the rest of these are like this one, I wish I'd ordered 100 of...

    Drop in component quality, esp. batteries

    Look into building yoursellf a nicostick. Great instructions in the the modders battery section. You don't have to be very mechanically orientated, it's pretty simple to make. The other nice thing is that a basic nicostick has so few parts there really isn't much to go wrong, and if it does...

    So I would have broken even today....

    I don't think I'll ever break even. Between wanting to try everything out there, I've gotten hooked on moding. And I've gotten a few of my friends started and supply parts and juice occasionally. All in all, it's well worth it to me, I'm healthier and have a fun hobby that keeps me busy.

    Dry throat...Whats the deal?

    You probably just need to drink more water. After I had been vaping regularly for a short while, I had to pick up on the water. Juices or coffee didn't help much, plain water did the trick.

    where to buy 510 no filler cartos

    Ken's Box Mods and Clouds of Vapor have both had them. Don't know if they have them right now, they usually sell out quit fast.

    A delimma in access

    I don't think there are going to be any US vendors that are going to carry a lot of them right now, mostly just some for people to test out. According to the mega thread about the CE2s, there is a revision 4 that is being sent to a few members to test this week, so even if someone had a bunch...

    website/instructions for liquid

    The best information (In my own opinion) is in the DIY e-liquids forum here ( DIY e-liquid ) but here's a simple recipe. You should really go read up on that section before trying any of this as you can have dangerous problems when working with nicotine liquids. When I mix I have paper towels...

    Do you still smoke analogs?

    That advice is the advice I got here from multiple people. Vaping should be pleasant, not painful. If I wanted painful I'd go cold turkey again or use the welbutrin or the lozenges, instead I think I'll vape and hopefully one day just forget about cigarettes completely.

    Looking for a mod.

    If you're really looking at something to hold you over if things go south, you might want to look in the battery modders forum and check out the nicostick and puck. Both of them are very easy to make with minimum skills, are very cheap, and easy to repair if you do break it. They aren't...

    Do you still smoke analogs?

    Guess I'm another of the rare ones. I've been vaping for 7 months but I still have the occasional cigarette, usually one in the morning and one after supper, often don't finish them. Most of the time I really don't crave one or even want one, vaping takes care of all that. I definitely feel...

    New to e-cigs (chose Blu Cigs)

    It sounds like you're vaping them faster than they can wick. When you start getting the dry burnt taste take a paper clip, push the cart out of the mouthpiece and flip the polyfill (the stuffing inside the cart) over. You should be able to get a few more good drags from them. Modding the...

    E2 Cartomizer Technical Discussion

    I saw this morning that Clouds of Vapor had them back in stock and now the carry the regular 510s in steel. Picked up both 510 regulars and XL. I am anxious to start playing with the ceramics as I've really liked the plastic ones so far. The primer is the only thing that bothers me. I see...

    E2 Cartomizer Technical Discussion

    Badkolo, that's a tempting offer, but I have some that should be here in the next day or so. Does anyone know of a US vendor that's going to start carrying an assortment of these? So far all I've seen is the regular 510 and 808D E2s. So far I'm really happy with the plastic ones that I've...

    How/Where Do You Store Your Stash?

    So, you'd consider 4 plastic shoe boxes, a tackle box, and a shelf on in the bathroom a little out of control?

    Damit, I can't belive I did this. STUPID, STUPID, STUPID

    Now would be a good time to look at the modders forum and check out making a simple box mod. There are great instructions for a nicostick and for the Puck. Either one is cheap to make and with a couple of dead batteries, you have the connectors already. Even if you don't use them regularly...

    I saved a friend

    I've given three kits to friends and one to my sister. It is a very good feeling to give someone a chance at getting off cigarettes.
