    Alcohol in eJuice

    I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the heat from the carto (or whatever system you use to turn juice into vapor) will burn any alcohol away - kind of like when you put wine into a sauce the alcohol burns off.

    Hubby "lost" his usb charger!

    We have plenty of USB port chargers (3 cell phones, a camera, etc). What we don't have spares of is the part that the batt screws into that is plugged into the USB/wall charger. I suppose I wasn't specific about it... I swear. My husband would lose his head if it weren't tied on.

    Hubby "lost" his usb charger!

    I think that I'll probably order one Volt kit to go with what we already have (I'm not sure how compatible Volt is with other chargers). We need more blank cartos anyways - the two boxes I bought are simply NOT enough, although I think I can clean them out and reuse them for different...

    Hubby "lost" his usb charger!

    Actually, my husband didn't lose it, he left it plugged in by his computer and the kids lost it. In either case, it's been swallowed up by the pit known as his man cave, and apparently has been since last night since he didn't have a fully charged batt as he was going to work. Loving wife that...

    Three questions for newbies

    1. How long did you smoke analogs? >16 years 2. How long have you been vaping? Almost a week 3. Since you've been vaping, approximately how many analog cravings have you had? For the first few days, every time I'd habitually smoke (with my morning coffee, mid morning, after lunch, afternoon...

    How are you guys carrying your e-cigs?

    Although I'm a girl, my method of carrying is unisex: E-cig/Brand: Volt 78mm manual Attachments: Attachments? Hmm... none yet with this setup! Extras: Cartos, 5mL juice droppers, extra battery if I'm out and about, USB charger to use in the car Main method of carrying: A leather hardcover...

    Almost returned my VOLT

    I'm REALLY new to vaping, and only know about our Volts, but here's what I've learned: the manual 78mm batteries have better/tighter draws than the autos or shorter ones, and the blank cartos are better than the pre-filled. Our (my husband's any my) personal preferences are for the manual batts...

    "Quit sick" or did I catch a bug?

    I found out that my achy lungs, scratchy throat, and gravely voice is a virus. I went to my doctor today (for something totally unrelated) and he looked at my throat and said it's a virus, and that my voice will be back to normal in a few days. I asked him what he thought about vaping and...

    New to vaping, any brick and mortar stores in the north 'burbs?

    My husband and I just got our kits on Saturday, and the switch has been painless (something that I'm totally shocked over). While we have enough juice to be good for a while, I'd like to be able to actually see what I'm buying before hitting that "order" button, KWIM? Plus, I've actually had a...

    My youngest wasn't transitioned into a crib until he was 10 months old (and then only because he'd decided that diving off our bed was better than sleeping), and at 16 months is still a nursing champ - albeit with some naughty toddler manners. Cloth diapering has changed so much in the last 5...

    Overwhelmed!

    Like you, I'm brand spankin' new to vaping. My husband and I got our Volt kits on Saturday and the switch is so seamless! I'm really happy with how it is working for us. It's such an easy system - just screw a carto into a charged batt and I'm good to go. With our kits I ordered 2 packs of...

    Nice! It's funny when people realize that I'm a woman - I guess "CrunchyGeek" sounds male to a lot of people. In my circle, if someone's "crunchy" it means they're a bit of a hippie/natural parent - organic food, cloth diapering the kids, babywearing, etc. And my husband and I are both...

    New member - Hello - And sorry if this has been covered - Carrying eGo Style E-cig

    While I don't have the same kit as you (I went with a volt), I keep mine in a hard leather eyeglasses case that I had laying around. Eventually I'm going to design a custom organizer to put in it with pockets/bands to keep everything from knocking around.

    "Quit sick" or did I catch a bug?

    I just checked, and I'm vaping 30vg/70pg. I'm not chain-vaping by any means - I'll puff a few times when I start getting twitchy throughout the day (always sipping water afterwards), and only "seriously" vape during my normal analog triggers such as with my morning coffee, after dinner, when...

    "Quit sick" or did I catch a bug?

    I drink a TON of water, actually drank a fair amount before vaping, but now that I'm actually paying attention I know I'm getting well over 2L/day - and that isn't counting coffee or other beverages. I knew I'd start coughing up junk after quitting, I just didn't think that it would start the...

    "Quit sick" or did I catch a bug?

    I dropped the analogs a few days ago, and yesterday my lungs had that "I smoked 2 packs of full flavored menthol cigarettes in a club where everyone else was chainsmoking" feeling. I'm sure you all know that awful feeling, right? In any case, today I'm starting to cough up all kinds of lovely...

    The hardest time?

    I'm only a few days in, but so far the toughest part was not going outside 10-12x/day. It is my few moments away from the kids (I'm a stay at home/work at home mama). I finally realized that I still need to go outside to decompress, it's just that now I vape instead of smoke. Problem solved.

    Is there a place where I can browse "quit date" tickers?

    I think I did it right, so I'm using this as a test post... ETA: Yay! It worked! It's going to be nice watching those numbers go up.

    Is there a place where I can browse "quit date" tickers?

    I'm on day 3 of vaping (36 hours into kicking the tobacco/analog habit - yay!) and I'd like to add a ticker to my siggy as a bit of a way of bragging about my success. I see a variety of different styles, but would like to browse and find my "perfect" ticker. Is there a place where I can see a...

    Got our Volts tonight!

    I found a few flavors that I really like (hazelnut is YUMMY!), and I've had only a few drags off an analog today before I realized I didn't actually want it. What I wanted was to stand outside for 5 minutes! The only thing that's really bugging me at the moment is that my lungs feel like I...
