    Help Support CASAA get a freebie **Limited Supply**

    I agree with Joseph. Something you may try first, though, is to breathe/steep the e-juice. I never knew about doing this until quite recently, and WOW does it make a difference. For the juices that smelled medicine-y and perfume-y when I first received them, I removed the cap and dripper tip...

    New Symptoms Since Qutting

    Since the OP's symptoms are similar to the ones I experienced beginning eight years ago, I feel I should tell my story... I have had cervical radiculopathy since 2006, affecting C5/C6 and C6/C7. If I recall the medical details correctly, one of the neck vertebrae has a lateral component with...

    What did you start with?

    That's what I wish I had done. But oh well - can't go back in time. Not until I get my flux capacitor fixed, that is. (Assuming that I won't use the flux capacitor to power a Nemesis, instead.) :p

    Terminology questions

    Here's another option. It's very extensive... eCigology E-Cig Glossary. And here's a guide to help people who are new to vaping... eCigology Beginner's Guide. There is much more information overall here at ECF, but I just figured I'd offer an alternative that helped me get started - in...

    ECigsbrand Battery?

    That's what I found after some research as well. I don't just believe anything I read on the internet, but in my experience, if there are more than several instances of the same story from different sources, then it's most often true. And $8 per cartomizer is absolutely insane. I'd only pay...

    ...so now he'll find out how deep the rabbit hole really goes. :p Thanks Jamfreek for sharing your story, and congrats on achieving a healthier life!

    Saying hi

    Welcome to ECF Bob and Carl. You both sound like you're well on your way in the realm of vaping, but this is a GREAT place to ask questions or share concerns if you ever have any. And in the meantime, keep on keeping on! :)

    Health concerns

    As I say quite often, incentive is everything when trying to solve a mystery of human behavior. Who has the most to gain in seeking the restriction or banning of vaping? I'm fairly sure it's Big Tobacco that has the most to gain by stomping it out, because they have the most to lose if it...

    Aspire Nautilus. Junk?

    I was just told earlier today in an ECF thread (can't remember where, exactly) that you could rebuild the coil in an Aspire Nautilus.

    what does your username mean?

    In my case, it was my mom and dad that put in all the thought. I had very little say in the matter. :)

    Most popular juices/brands

    I saw that too. After I felt I had read enough of the e-liquid discussions to be able to make an informed decision, I picked three brands to try out - Mt. Baker Vapor, Ahlusion and Nicoticket. I just bought five flavors (plus my one freebie) from Mt. Baker Vapors. Got 'em steeping in a drawer...

    New member. Now a question of etiquette...

    Y'all know what we could really use right now? Dr. Sanjay Gupta gathering whatever independent hard data is out there regarding vaping (there's not a lot as yet, but there is some), as well as encouraging independent laboratories to do further testing on the chemicals used in modern e-cigs, and...

    Help Support CASAA get a freebie **Limited Supply**

    That's very magnanimous of you. :thumbs: I see the freebies as things not only to attract people to sign up for CASAA, but also to help people who are new to vaping get a bit of nice gear to help them on their way along the path to vaper's paradise. :) I was an ECF member for 2 days...

    what does your username mean?

    Ah -- the catchphrase for the movie Alien. I'm a huge fan of the Alien saga ... and almost all other sci-fi. I see people explaining their avatars, too, so I should explain mine. Well, you see, I was 50/50 on whether I should use a photo of myself... :rolleyes:

    Check out the General E-Liquid Discussion. You don't have to read every post in every thread - just scan around and you'll start seeing patterns of repeated recommendations for certain e-juice brands and flavors.

    That, along with your sig ..... now I'm getting horrible images in my mind. :blink:

    Something I didn't expect has posed a possible problem

    Sorry to hear about the Mini PT2 troubles. It was a good idea on your part to provide her with a different model of clearo. Diversification saves the day! I hope you get her settled into vaping without any showstoppers popping up.

    Does anybody MISS smoking??

    I don't miss smoking. I don't miss my clothes stinking. I don't miss my fingers stinking. I don't miss my cats getting out of my lap and running away whenever I'd light up. I don't miss the bronchitis smoking caused. I don't miss having no physical endurance whatsoever. I don't miss...
