    spare switch for e-power 18650?

    I've got to throw in a big Thanks!! as well!! I was beginning to get discouraged looking for back-up sleeves. I love my unit and have enough batteries to last quite some time but my vendor stopped carrying these PVs before I ordered back-up sleeves. Now I should be good for quite a while...

    Throat irritation

    EVERYTHING about juice is a personal preference after trial and error, but for the ratio, it makes sense to start with 100% PG or 50/50, and a small bottle of plain VG and then just play around with it. Where to start in nic strength will have to do with what strength and how much tobacco...

    Oily Face

    Well the old-age dry patches around by nose and outer eyebrows are back so I guess my days of skipping that extra moisterizer are over once again. It was kind of nice while it lasted, though! Happy vaping!! PS: dotma, I think it was you that started that first post! LOL

    My car stinks!

    I've known charcoal to get rid of skunk. It took a whole 10 lb bag tossed under the house, but it took care of it!! LOL I've always used it in coolers after a fishing trip and it works great. Ever have a squirrel die in your attic? Takes care of that too. I also put a few pieces on a paper...

    My car stinks!

    It'll subside in a few weeks but if you want to hurry it up, or until you get it detailed, try putting a few pieces of charcoal on a paper towel in the footboard when you park it for overnight. Charcoal will absorb some strong odors! Then for a little added touch, tuck a few dryer sheets between...

    Looking for a carrying case which measures 4.5" x 2.5" x 1"

    I had to do a little fiddling to get it working for me, but I haven't "rearranged" in weeks now. The things I need every night are kept in the wooden block I made to pull out easily for refilling. I use a tray that came filled with assorted wood screws some years back to hold my row of juice...

    The MENTAL draw to smoking analogs

    I smoked without ever having even a short "quit" for more than forty years. I haven't had a cigarette in 2 months and don't want one. Really! However . . . almost daily I catch myself wondering what ashtray I laid one down in. Then it dawns on me . . . I DON'T SMOKE ANYMORE! Many have said I...

    How much juice do you go through in a day?

    If I could keep myself off this forum, a lot less!! Seriously, when I sit, I vape.

    Noticed a common thread among us newbies...

    How many of us ex-smokers had, or still have, a Zippo collection? How often did the we women buy new cigarette-cases (when you could still find them)? How many stepped up to cigars or pipes during their smoking years? The first e-cig I ever saw in use was an Ego-T. It was on a lanyard and...

    Help with E-power 18650

    Yep! Now that you have a consistant system, it's time to play with the liquid. I've had some hits AND some misses. I'd recommend you try a new flavor and/or a new vendor with no more than 10 mil bottles. That way if its a miss, you want be out so much and if its a hit, you can order the 30. Out...

    Looking for a carrying case which measures 4.5" x 2.5" x 1"

    LOL . . . vaping may take less money than smoking, but it sure takes up more space!!:laugh: I converted my breadbox into my vaping storage so I could at least keep it all in one, out-of-site location that is still convenient for daily PV maintenance. I think I've settled down enough that this...

    How do you carry your device-- Post pics of it.

    This is what I drop in my handbag whenever I leave the house . . . a $5 flash-drive case with the compartment stitching removed on one side for my spare battery.

    Major Dissappointment but will try 1 more time.

    LOL . . . not a problem, Hound! I'm neither UNC nor Duke. I learned very young to stay neutral. LOL I have two brothers that just happen to be very much into the friendly rivalry and since neither still live in Carolina, I stick with "Welcome to Carolina . . . choose your BLUE"!!

    One More in need of help from the Vet's

    I have a form of Parkinson's that is somewhat controlled most of the time, however, I've still knocked over uncapped bottles of juice, accidently dripped juice down the outside of the carto repeatedly, knocked my drip tips onto the floor and watched them roll under the frig, etc, so I know the...

    Vapers Who Seem To Over Do It

    I'm at my 2 month mark of being analog free and I'm "just" beginning to set my PV down more often. I have no desire for a cigarette, but my body doesn't always agree, so therefore I vape. I've cut my nic in half in these two months and don't plan on reducing it any more until I find myself not...

    Major Dissappointment but will try 1 more time.

    Inhaling is fine, just not necessary. The nic is absorbed better in the mouth and nose than in the lungs when vaping. It's different than smoking. You also get more flavor exhaling through the nose. It's a good method to give your lungs and throat a break and still enjoy the vape and the nic.

    Major Dissappointment but will try 1 more time.

    I'm not familar with the V2 cartos, but if they can be refilled, then I would imagine they can also be emptied, with the e-juice saved for the most part, by the Taryn Spin. When I have a carto fizzle out on me, I spin the juice out and put in back in the bottle. I've also spinned out juices I...

    Chinese Restaurant

    I have always loved onions and garlic . . . that is until about 2 weeks of being analog free! Still "like" them, but can't handle the amount I've been so used to for so many years. I've had to adjust many recipes and overall cooking habits, including salt use. Flavors and aromas definitely...

    A little discouraged...is vaping for me?

    To get the full benefit of flavor and nic, practice your vaping style to include your nose. Yes, your nose senses flavor, aroma, and absorbs the nic much better than the lungs. If you inhale and then exhale through your nose, you'll get more sensation. French inhale will do even better, but...

    Help with E-power 18650

    You will LOVE the consistancy and dependabilty of the eGo e-power!! I've always used a little VG in my juice and you may want to add a little to calm that TH, but then again, you may just want to lighten up on the spearmint. I don't use nearly as much "mint" with the e-power to get my mild...
