    New to forum, been vaping for about a month

    Hi and welcome! Here are some videos about refilling cartomizers which should be helpful: Cartridges/Cartomizers Many of the people on here like cartomizers but I still prefer the good ole 510 atomizers. I think they last longer than cartomizers and are easier for me to clean.

    not so good on the analogs today!

    I agree with the other posters on this thread. One thing to remember is that you probably do not smoke as much as before you discovered vaping. It takes time to adjust and with the stress it may take longer. There are people on these boards who even after a year of vaping still smoke also.

    Cost Comparison?

    My first year of vaping has been rather expensive since I bought a few mods. Now that I have ones that I will use for years to come, that expense can be eliminated. I also buy attys in bulk and DIY my liquids. The upfront cost was higher but will be cheaper in the long run. A fairly...

    Some ex-smokers just don't get it!

    After reading all 12 pgs of this thread, I feel the need to say this: /soapbox mode on It does NOT matter what anyone else thinks, says, or does. It is up to you to make the decision to quit smoking and vape. It is up to you to choose if you want to lower your nicotine intake or eventually...

    PA Shopping Mini Spree

    Me too so I got a small bottle to see how it measures up. :D Gooddog, I am hoping the vanilla bean ice cream will make a good milkshake flavor. Mmmmm..vanilla, chocolate, or stawberry milkshakes!

    Getting started and would like some advice.

    Over time I have accumulated so much vaping and DIY stuff that the collection has outgrown the plastic toolkit box I originally bought. I have moved up to a multiple drawer plastic cart from Wal Mart. It will hold everything and is easy to wash out if needed. I agree with the suggestions to...

    PA Shopping Mini Spree

    The REO Lounge (was...The REO grand opening sale)

    This may be old news but are you going to make the regular sized Reo in metal also? I love the wood but a metal one would be nice for a change.

    How do you...?

    If you smoked in the house it can be very difficult to get rid of the smell. To eliminate it completely you will need to paint the walls, clean the carpets, and have the ventilation system cleaned. Wash all the windows and mirrors with white vinegar and use the vinegar/baking soda mix for...

    New to e-cigs coughing

    Just as an FYI and I know this may sound silly, but make sure you are keeping the atomizer wet. If not, it can make you cough due to the harshness.

    Has anyone completely quit?

    I actually smoked and vaped at the same time for the first 2 weeks after I received my first ecig kit. That helped me ease the transition between the two and allowed me to get the nicotine needed during the learning period. One morning I lit a cigarette and decided it tasted just horrible...

    How much ejuice

    Approximately 3 mls/day when I drip or use a cartridge. 4-5ml/day when I use my box mod or AVS.

    Commuter needs help (no drip and drive)

    There are various box mods which would work for you. Reo ( I own this one and like it. It also will use my 510 attys.) REO's Mods | Home of the REO PV Kaji ( I nearly bought this one.) Welcome to R&R Manufacturing - Handcrafted Battery Box Mods Cartomizers would work but you might need to...

    High Voltage Taste difference

    Frying the tastebuds is common. That is why I have 3-4 favorite liquids that I rotate daily so I can still taste them.

    Thought I was getting somewhere.

    Since Ms. T's liquid is a custom mix, let it sit for a week or 2 then try it again. It takes time for the flavors to blend. As a matter of fact, this is good advice for any handmade/custom flavors. You still may not like them, or you may change your mind. :)

    Need Advice for Capella Purchase Please

    I add a little vanilla custard or bavarian creme to my eggnog to boost the creamy taste even more. I tend to add those 2 flavors to nearly everything..I have issues! :tongue::tongue: I have not used the Boston Cream pie to be honest. I need therapy for my constant use of Peanut Butter Cup...

    Other uses for flavorings?

    I keep thinking about putting some of the fruit flavors in water but can never remember. With a little Splenda and the flavoring I have my own flavored water for much less than I can buy them.

    Are you a pet parent?

    I have a Smart Scoop which uses the plastic bags. We have had it for 2 yrs and it is still going strong. I probably will not buy another one though because it throws clumped litter out the end due to the design. My other cat box is a Littermaid. I have been using the various versions of...

    Are you a pet parent?

    My husband and I have 4 cats and they do NOT potty anywhere but the cat boxes. I am a Type-A personality so my house is meticulous and so are the cat boxes. We use the automatic types so that I do not have to scoop 50 times a day and people who come over never smell the cat waste. (I also...
