    Still smoking analogs-frustrated

    I'll have to agree with folks who suggest trying different flavors, and I'd also get some menthol & add a tiny bit to a little of the USA Blend you already have. I NEVER liked smoking menthol but found vaping it is a whole different thing - it might add just the touch you need. As to upgrading...

    Cheaper alternative to blank cartomizers for sampling flavors?

    If you have a manual battery you can use a dripping atomizer & drip tip to test your juices (that's essentially what you'd be making if you removed the filler from a carto, except a true atty wouldn't have the 'sock', as you mentioned). I don't know if anyone makes attys for a KR808 but if not...

    Thanks ECF

    Indeed it is disheartening but it's nothing new. For generations now, "expert opinions" have always been available for a price. The same has been true for politicians and media coverage, and our gullible citizenry will lap it all up on the six o'clock news. Thus, Truth has become a priceless...

    Help me buy my 1st E-cig!!!

    Hi & Welcome to ECF! I see a lot of rants about the Provari and I'm sure it's a great PV for folks who can't afford a Darwin but ... No, seriously, it's all relative (and to you Provari guys, I'm just funnin' with ya). I've been using a lowly E-Power 14650 for about 5 months now & lovin' it...

    kGo Question...

    I was just about to post a suggestion that you folks might like the Smoktech 1.7 ohm single coil (I get the XL) or the Crystal Clear Vaping Resurrector 1.7 (which may be the same thing, not sure). I love them and the Boge 2.0 on my E-Power, which is regulated 3.7 volts & I think the same as a...

    newbie needs advice

    Hi & Welcome to ECF! First of all don't lose hope, this will work. If your batteries are working okay and you still have some un-toasted cartos in your existing kit then by all means I would get some higher nic liquid, preferably in sample sizes of a few different flavors to see what you like...

    Why can't I find KR808 hardware in Aus?

    One option to consider, get a 510 passthrough and an adapter. I have no idea what's available in Australia, sorry I can't offer any other suggestions. :oops:

    I caved

    Hi John & Welcome! Lots of good support here & I want to mostly ditto what's already been said. I will add this: it took what it took to get where we are, and it'll take what it takes to get where we're going, so don't worry about it. Looks to me like you're right where you need to be right now...

    Vaping as a recreation. Thoughts?

    (Seriously though, yeah... that psychologist may have been onto something there. Maybe that's part of the "relaxation factor" we feel.)

    Vaping as a recreation. Thoughts?

    Now that's interesting, Bugs! For years as a smoker (& drinker & too many other things I try to avoid now) I've had a theory about psychologists ..... :D

    help the new guy :)

    Welcome to ECF! I don't know what's available in Serbia or who/what can ship there, but by all means, check out the suppliers' forum & sites here on ECF. I can tell you the Blu is not highly regarded among forum members who have used it, so I am almost certain you will find much better choices...

    Newbe to e cigs, first product help would be greatly appriciated!! :)

    Excellent post, I think, because the bottom line is this: get something you're going to USE, right away. Don't worry about a month from now, it'll take care of itself. Order (or just go out & buy) something you'll be comfortable using today or as soon as the package gets in, otherwise you might...

    Newbe to e cigs, first product help would be greatly appriciated!! :)

    I believe Hoosier is out of stock on the KGO kit; if so check for it here if interested: SLB KGO Starter Kit I haven't personally used this PV but from all the reviews I'm seeing it looks like an excellent choice to me. If you get this kit I'd recommend choosing the (5-pk) Boge 2.0 ohm...

    Vaping as a recreation. Thoughts?

    Good point. OTOH, for lots of people our 'hobbies' themselves are killing us, and for some of us, smoking, along with its assorted paraphernalia, was certainly a hobby. While I mostly smoked cigarettes for convenience I also have a collection of pipes, and occasionally enjoyed a fine cigar. At...

    first 1000 analogs avoided

    Congratulations on your milestone! As to the "mod" thingy, I'm not quite jonesin' for one yet (still exploring the capabilities of my E-Power... one of the great advantages of being old, slow & patient) :) but been looking at this one sort of sideways: Center Button VV Box Mod (EverCool)...

    vapor tastes harsh and hurts throat??

    What PG/VG ratio is the juice? Also, do you draw slowly & hold the vapor in your mouth for a moment before inhaling? I'm thinking, if you're getting an occasional smooth hit the liquid could be too thick (high in VG) to wick well consistently, causing you to get a lot of fairly dry hits. Also I...

    New to forums and ecigs ^_^

    Seems to me about everyone I've encountered on ECF has been amazing in one way or another. Sometimes it's because of things they know, other times they're seeking answers to questions I never thought to ask before. Lots of other stuff too, to enliven my mind & help me sweep the cobwebs out. I...

    Need something different

    I haven't tried (or actually seen) one of these but they look pretty interesting: Center Button VV Box Mod (EverCool) (If I can find a reasonable source for the EverCool or similar switch I may have to build one myself.) Anyway I'm thinking the price isn't bad but I haven't shopped around to...

    Vaping as a recreation. Thoughts?

    Man, I *love* questions like this! I'd never thought of it before but now that you mentioned it, yeah... it's almost like "real life" isn't it? Hmmm... I suppose I should explain myself for the benefit of any sane folks who might read this.... For me, "real life" is largely about doing the...
