    Honest opinions...doin a decent job?

    OTD hit a lot of good points. Just to add: I still smoked every day until I got a 5v mod (and found the right juice flavors and nic level for me). So yes, the Prodigy should hopefully be a big help. :) Now I'm down to maybe 1-2 cigs a week and I'm going to try snus to eliminate those. Belief...

    Turnaround Time / Shipment Times / Confirmations

    Couldn't agree more. Longer or unpredictable wait times are the way that custom-order-based businesses go. And popularity breeds a certain amount of dissatisfaction, or at least, a large enough customer base is bound to bring a couple haters. Your liquid's been crucial to getting me off...

    So - are we getting it or are we not - nicotine

    ...and thank goodness for CO detectors 'cause of it. Glad to hear it! Nanaimo was the first hometown I've seen listed here that was so unfamiliar to me (ETA: blame the American public schools for that) I had to GoogleMap it. (Now I feel a bit shady.) (Nice hedge you've got, by the way.)

    Good VG Selection and Pricing

    JuicyLiquid sells their "Juicy Juicepaks" which are entirely VG-based flavoring. If you're quite sensitive to PG, that should be the safest way to go.

    Quitting smoking and depression

    Oh, I agree. Smoking for depression or anxiety is a nasty way to help yourself in the short term by sacrificing the long term. I do think each person has to do some searching to find the right mix of substitutes for cigarettes, whether that involves vaping, smokeless alternatives, medication...

    Quitting smoking and depression

    The tobacco companies do not "add" the MAOIs. They occur in tobacco naturally as beta-carboline alkaloids, also present in passionflower and Syrian rue. They are milder in action than the synthetic prescription MAOIs, which require special dietary restrictions and come with a long list of...

    Quitting smoking and depression

    I'm sorry to hear you're having a hard time, hittman. You're definitely not alone here, though. Some people consciously self-medicate for depression with cigarettes (like I did). Then others who have smoked for a long time find themselves depressed when they stop. There are a number of...

    Swap small flavor samples ?

    Sorry, my sarcasm receptors are bent out of shape lately. :oops: Would be interested to hear what others have. :)

    Swap small flavor samples ?

    People privately swap addresses all the time for shipping sales and trades on the Classifieds. How is this different? Maybe I'm too blithe because my location changes so often... I've got German Chocolate Cake, Pistachio Ice Cream, and Cafe Mocha I'd swap samples of. Each 12mg. (I'm...

    ECF is killing me!

    Look at my join date vs. my post count. You ain't the only one. ;) It's ok. Being in information-gathering mode is like that, and there are no books you can consult on this stuff. I figure once I get into a routine and get over some of the New Toy Syndrome it will even out. Or so I tell...

    Do you get the same "high" when vaping campared to analogs?

    It's not the same full-body rush, but I do get a head rush first thing in the morning. It's stimulating rather than the stimulating/relaxing mix you get from analogs. Interesting enough, I didn't feel any rush from vaping until I'd been off all analogs for over a week. Eliminate the...

    Capellas flavor drops sucks!

    HappyVaper sells both Capellas and Flavourart if you're looking to support a different operation but like the Capellas. They even sell smaller bottles of Capellas to try out. Shipping will take a bit of time since they're in Canada (but at least that's the post office and not the business...

    What Becomes of the Alcohol?

    I use vodka and it works fine. 10% max will do ya well.

    Ecf wwyd?

    Ah geez, I'm 25 and that was my reaction too. :oops: The approaches people have described all sound like fine ideas and I give a lot of credit to ideas from people who have parenting experience, but I'll throw in my view just from memories of being a preteen. I remember that I expected...

    the life of a cartomizer?

    I sometimes top-up rather than wait until I get close to burning, so I can't answer the number of puffs, but in terms of refills, I find a wide variation. It seems a few will last me up to 15 refills, many will last me 5-7, and a couple will just taste weird or perform terribly after the first...

    510/KR808 Adapter with Cartomizers

    AngusATAT hit the nail(s) on the head. I didn't have success with prefilled PG cartomizers on my standard 510 with the adapter. Even with part-VG juice I have to take long, long draws on a regular 510 or KR8 battery to get much of anything, though the draw is fine -- it's the cartos...

    My apartment smells like BACON.

    I love xkcd! This past weekend while making breakfast: my boyfriend: "You don't need to cook the whole package... I'm only going to have a few strips." me: "Just making sure there's lots of precooked bacon in the fridge for you to heat up whenever you want later. Besides, I need more bacon...

    I made one decision... i need help with rest:)

    Hello again Kenny! 510 is a standard model reference number. All "510" atomizers will be compatible with the 510 thread on your PV. So you can buy extra atomizers wherever you'd like. (Note: Not all 510s come from the same place, though. The original 510s are made by Joye [hence you'll...

    How do you get the caps off?

    The TV bottles are great, IMO. I don't need to pry them open, they don't get messy, and the narrow tip makes moving the liquid into a smaller dropper bottles a little at a time very easy. Makes it much easier to drip in small quantities, or pull it out with a syringe for measured quantities...

    Vaping is making me sick

    Yes, it does. (I'd rather not touch the aspartame debate with a ten-foot pole, but I've done what reading and experimentation I can, made my personal decision, and just say to each his own on all sweetener choices...)
