    Over 30 days.. A "I Want To Smoke Day" You?

    Yep, exactly what this was.. I really wanted one but filled up my Nova with a tried and tested juice (Volt 555) and tooted away for awhile. The time with the wife trying to explain and wondering why our of the blue it hit me gave me enough time to get past it. I really don't think even if I...

    Over 30 days.. A "I Want To Smoke Day" You?

    Hey all.. So I've made it past my first month vaping exclusively. Day 1 stopped and since I was out of RYO tobacco and shells I just decided to push through those first few days and vape even 1-2 days with a full nic patch on to really help. I've found myself, and not knowing why, really...

    Charging a ego twist question

    Agreed with everyone before me and I had troubles with the USB charger off my regular desktop as I don't think it's a fully powered (5v DC) USB connector. I did however go out and at Staples or Office Max picked up an older (USB 2.0 spec) 4 port USB hub that had a power plug. I think it was 19$...

    How do I avoid mixing flavors with a viva nova?

    Same here.. some residual flavor a time or two but it's nothing terrible, for me at least, and is gone within a few pulls.

    Problem with Ego and Vivi Nova Mini

    Could the center pin on the 650 be depressed too much to work with the Vivi? It's a problem that many have had and while the battery is turned off you can take small flat head screwdriver, or something suitable, to go into the 510 connector and just pry up/wiggle up a bit the center post. Do...

    Is everyone meticulous about cleaning between vapes?

    Depends on the flavors mixed.. If I'm going off the rails and coming from something fruity to something not I clean however if I'm going from fruit to fruit then I mix and if nasty clean but generally it's a good combo. I had just filled 3/4 of Blueberry into a 1/4 Strawberry Vivi tank.. it...

    So do you consider yourself a "smoker"?

    Same here.. I'm going on my first month without traditional tobacco and have had some issues with the stigma of being labeled as a 'non smoker'. Asked my wife her opinions and she's on board with the as soon as quit smoking tobacco but I'm more on the lines of a week or more just in case ya...

    Juice Taste and Toothpaste..

    Nice info and good replies everyone, thank you! I think I'll just try to find something that doesn't cause me as much distaste after brushing then vaping. As well many have recommended alternatives to processed commercial paste that may end up being better for you and as Racehorse states `You...

    Any one's lungs hurt if they forget to drink water?

    Wicked I'm a firm believer.. From someone who worked from home and many hours of any night (on call 24x7) the cola's where my get by drink and at times slugging down an entire 2 liter during those long nights on work or gaming. After several years of high cholesterol and as of late high sugar...

    hello new to ecf

    Welcome and from fairly close to my neck of the woods! (near straight shot west in Salem, Oh) Glad to have you aboard and have fun with the tube! Something I want to check into next is a tube mod or some other mod type AVP :)

    Juice Taste and Toothpaste..

    A valid observation Deleon.. I'm sure there's some products out there that are still good for purpose but don't blast the buds so much juice is terrible/muted for so long. Just have to find it which, while quickly browsing the myriad of products out there, may not be an easy thing (lol)...

    Juice Taste and Toothpaste..

    Ah ha! So someone else who also notices this as much as I do. :) I guess it may be the brand (would have to run and check) but this stuff just lasts and lasts which is a good thing except when RY4 or even Cinnamon tastes muted and bad as almost like drinking Orange Juice or any citric acid...

    Juice Taste and Toothpaste..

    A statement and then a question for the group.. I've for years gotten into the bad habit, while smoking traditional cigarettes, that I would not brush my teeth before having a morning coffee (or 4) and smoking the stinkies. It always seemed more logical to get the dirty business done before a...

    Looking for a new cartomizer

    Good choice and as stated AltSmoke has them and replacement heads for sale. They are about 90 mins from my home and I went down, after starting with a V2 e-cig starter (good but not enough for me), and bought 2 eGo Twists and 2 Vivi's and use them daily. Also as stated if your light a dripping...

    Dripping or Tanks?

    Agreed on most counts.. I just started a few weeks back and started with a V2 kit which didn't satisfy and I quickly went to a few eGo Twists VV and ViVi clearo and 1 day ago picked up a general 510 LR atty to try dripping. While I like dripping for the taste, hit and warmth it's not convenient...

    First Time Dripping.. Uh Wow..

    Awesome tip there CW! :) I will do that tomorrow since I have been looking up ways to clean these LR atty's and most invovle vodka, water and the such but the best one I saw, which does make sense, was baking soda and vinegar! I use vinegar as a cleaner for almost everything from LCD's to my...

    First Time Dripping.. Uh Wow..

    Oh and now I wish I had picked up more of these so I could have one for a juice/few juice flavors without having to try and clean them which I hear is possible. Loving this vape :)

    First Time Dripping.. Uh Wow..

    Who knew? (I know, most of you do! :laugh:) Picked up a few new juice flavors @ AltSmoke and decided to pick up one (now wishing I had more) of their LR 510 Atty's and wanted to try dripping over using my Vivi clearo and was shocked and impressed. It may have been a newbie dripper not knowing...
