    Cost of vaping versus smoking

    Glycerin doesn't freeze, but it gets really thick when 'frozen'. I keep mine in the freezer just to extend the shelf life. Juices are best when mixed fresh, but they'll be good for a month at least. Keep you nic base in the freezer, and then mix it as you need it; I do it in 30ml batches...

    Hi All

    Every analog you *don't* smoke is a plus. This isn't like AA where you have to turn in your chip and start all over...

    Stretching it out

    Cignot is legendary for shipping speed, and they're just outside Chicago. Order now & you might see it show up Thursday.

    Out of Juice

    Well, let's see... nowadays, I've always got my boxmod in my pocket, along with 2-3 fully charged 650mah batteries & a couple of days of juice. That's bare minimum. The batteries shipping from DX nowadays come in a plastic case that holds 4xAA sized batteries, and I've found that the slots...

    Patting myself on the back!

    Congrats! Pretty soon it'll be two, then three... then you'll wake up and not remember what the real ones were like. Don't go back "just to see", trust me. They're nasty.

    Hi All

    I've been vaping for almost 2 years now, and last week I was on a road trip in south Louisiana. I stopped at a Love's, and remembered reading about these here, so I went ahead & got one, just to see if it'll work as an "emergency emergency backup to my backup" kinda thing. Nice to know these...

    Got my E-cig

    Remember to blow out your atomizers before you use them for the first time, as they come with a packing fluid from the factory & it tastes kinda gross. Just blow it out into a paper towel until no more liquid comes out, put a couple of drops of your liquid on the bridge, and plug in your cart...

    My two problems

    Well, being in the IT industry, I'd say problem #2 is probably not the sites... not if ALL of them do it. Could be your 'puter, your local internet, or just a bandwidth issue locally for ya. What's your up/down speed? Problem #1 stopped being an issue for me once I abandoned the standard...

    Cost of vaping versus smoking

    I was getting it from BoxElder, but now from XtremeVaping. Please do tell of this "RTS"? edit: Ah. Found the link. I'll have to try them next time around... I think we're down to only about 200ml of base between us ;)

    Cost of vaping versus smoking

    Your initial costs will be relatively high, but still lower than smoking. There's an "experimentation phase", where you'll be trying different models, voltages, juices, etc. Plus there's the 'kid in a candy store' thing; you'll see all kinds of new stuff coming out that you just *have* to get...

    Favorite E-cig accessory?

    Prolly my widemouth drip tip from SuperT. I've got tons of stuff.... it's a toss-up between that and my 2-slot Li-on charger with car adapter, it has reduced my paranoia about running out of power when travelling.

    What battery should I use and where do I get it?

    Don't feel bad, though; the grey ones work fine ;). Try the flame-wrapped ones some time. Did I mention that at DX there's no minimum order to get the free shipping? Seriously, you can order something for a buck, and they'll ship it from CHINA for free!

    What battery should I use and where do I get it?

    Well, I'm not sure... just that the 'flame' ones seem to work a hell of a lot better. Just my opinion. They seem to hit harder & hold a charge longer; I've never actually metered them. I've had and/or tried lots of different mods, but a little 3.7v box with a 'flame' Trustfire battery & a 2...

    are 18650 and 18600 batteries the same size?

    Um... that would be a middle-of-the-night typo. :)

    What battery should I use and where do I get it?

    If you take a look at the ends, you'll see what looks like a dimple of sorts (esp. on the negative contact)... tear one apart, and you'll find tiny little PCBs between the contact and the actual battery cell. Plus, I've had these, and they do actually say "protected" on them (just not in this...

    What battery should I use and where do I get it?

    They're protected. Look close, and you can see the protection circuit in the pic. Note also that the seller is "china_seller200907", located in Hong Kong. 1 week means either they have a US warehouse, or more likely that they will *leave Hong Kong* within a week. Then there's 7-15 days to...

    What battery should I use and where do I get it?

    A hammer & punch (like a rounded screw head) can solve that; back it up on a piece of soft wood & invert that "dimple" in the center prior to assembly.

    What battery should I use and where do I get it?

    I buy all my batteries from DealExtreme. Never had a problem with them, half the price of state-side vendors, and shipping is included in the already cheap-o price. The only caveat is that you'll wait upwards of a month to get them, since they ship direct from China. So if you're not in a...

    Vaping Whenever & Wherever?

    Never had a problem. I'm not blasting out huge plumes, mind you, but I don't make a huge effort to stealth it too much. ('cept maybe in a courthouse or something).

    Hello

    Welcome to the forum! Get ready to learn just how bad junk food tastes... really. My tastebuds were dead for 26 years, and about 2 weeks after I switched, I bit into a "Doubledown" from KFC and almost puked.
