    Help me decide on a vv! I'm totally overwhelmed.

    I'm thinking I might end up getting an evic or vamo... (can you tell I'm a bit indecisive?). Neither seems to be my "best" vape, though. I'm worried that the evic will be too delicate for my clumsy self - but I love the sleek look. The vamo seems pretty sturdy, but aesthetically it leaves...

    Help me decide on a vv! I'm totally overwhelmed.

    Here's my story: I've been vaping on a kgo vv for a few months ago. I got it because I loved my original kgos; they never had any issues whatsoever. My husband and I actually BOTH got kgo vvs. At first they were great - enough so that I don't use my original kgo anymore. It just doesn't...

    I'm going to write an "idiot's guide to vaping"

    I'm three weeks into vaping, and I literally haven't had a craving for a cigarette since my kit came in the mail. It has been so easy and painless to stop smoking and start vaping that I'm shocked. The only difficult part was wading through literally hundreds of posts about supplies, kits...

    Want to build my own kgo kit - what should I include?

    I just checked prices, adding up the separate pieces that I actually want and would use vs. getting the kit that will include what I want and don't want, and it's actually cheaper to get the kit with the extra unnecessary stuff. Almost $35 for just one batt, atomizer, USB, clearomozer, and...

    Want to build my own kgo kit - what should I include?

    I've decided that I want (need?) a kgo, and so far it seems that Hoosier has the best prices. The thing is, their starter kit has a bunch of things that I don't need: I have more USB wall adapters than I know what to do with from cell phones, cameras, ecigs, etc... I really don't need another...

    Vaping has saved me!

    I'm being released today, with the diagnosis of "we don't know what the heck is wrong with you." Bah. I'm still happy about being a non-smoker on forms, AND I've educated a bunch of nurses about vaping! They've ALL said that they're going to tell their smoking patients that it is a good way...

    Vaping has saved me!

    I quit tobacco the day I got my pv (check out my siggy for the exact time), and THANK GOD (and I'm not saying thank God in a slang kind of way - I've actually prayed my thanks). If I were still a smoker I'd be fit to be tied by now. I've been in the hospital since Tuesday, and it is a tobacco...

    Всем привет от новичка на этом форуме!!!

    Are you saying you're from Russia? Sorry - your wording is hard to figure out! (I'm Finnish, by the way) In any case, welcome to ECF. It's been a great resource for me and countless others.

    OMG The TASTE!

    I've been told that we have 4 basic taste and they are: sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami. I've also learned that our sense of taste is not only harmed by smoking, but age as well. So while we, as former smokers will regain most of our sense of taste, we'll never be able to taste as much...

    How many puffs per carto fill?

    I've been vaping for a little over 2 weeks (yay!), and my tastebuds are still not working well. I'm happy to report that I'm tasting my vape, but I'd estimate that I'm only getting about 75% of the flavor in my juice. Here's my question: since I only partially taste when I vape, how many puffs...

    OMG The TASTE!

    I've defineately noticed my taste buds doing wacky things. It's only been a little over 2 weeks, and I lost my taste buds about 3 days in and they haven't returned fully yet. I couldn't taste my vape at all, and eating was hit or miss. I probably over season everything I cook because I don't...

    kinda new here but partially educated...

    My husband and I got our Volt kits 2 weeks ago, and we're both very happy with them! I'm not sure how it is with other people, but we got prefilled cartos with the kits and ordered an extra box of blank cartos (5) each, and haven't had any of the blanks that we've been filling bite the dust...

    No nicotine makes me grumpy.

    I'm a bit of an odd case - I get grumpy if I have no nicotine, but I only need a small amount. The act of vaping is a major stress relief for me, though. When I got our first cartos in I had ordered 18mg because so many people told me that getting lower amounts wouldn't cut it for someone...

    Littlte Introductory Thread: Trying to prevent a relapse to smoking.

    Joe - it's refreshing reading your posts because of the fact that your English grammar is actually much better than the average American's. The posts I read on facebook have literally made me grind my teeth - I'm a bit of a "grammar nazi" (my husband's words, not mine) - probably because I am...

    Ask IMAGINE & S_Steve - Thread :)

    Actually, it was less than an hour and I got an email saying that CS was shipping me a new charger! I'm impressed with the speed at which my ticket was responded to! While I'm waiting for it, I'm just going to have to really keep on top of charging our batts. (4 batts, one charger - oy!) :blink:

    ACK! USB charger broke in less than 2 weeks!

    I'm happily surprised to say that I put in a ticket to Smokeless Image about 9:30 am and by 10:15 am I had an email saying that a new usb charger is being sent out. I'm also happy to report that I just found out that V4L is located about 1/2 hour away from me. I had NO idea that there was a...

    Ask IMAGINE & S_Steve - Thread :)

    My husband and I got our Volt kits almost 2 weeks ago, and overall have been very happy. However, this morning my usb charger broke into 4 pieces! I sent in a CS ticket at smokeless image a little bit ago, but have to say that I'm a bit upset!

    ACK! USB charger broke in less than 2 weeks!

    While I'm not adverse to fixing things with superglue (or duct tape), in this case one of the two wires has become disconnected. Since I'm not an electronics guru, and don't have the ability to solder itty bitty wires, I'll need a new usb charger. :frown:

    ACK! USB charger broke in less than 2 weeks!

    Less than 2 weeks ago we got our first kits, and haven't smoked an analog since (yay!). But this morning, when I went to plug in my batt to charge, the usb charger broke into about 4 pieces! I'm so ticked off, and in a bit of a panic, because there is no way that one charger will keep 4 batts...
