    Just introducing myself--Vaping Newbie...

    Welcome to the forum! :) There are always folks here willing to answer questions, too. This is such a huge two-year compendium of information, though, that chances are good that many of your questions are covered already with no waiting for responses...at least, I think I spent a good...

    What do you all think about the EastMall HV pv they got?

    There was some comment about it on the EastMall forum. They are maxing out the double-entendres in all the advertising text, too. Marketing with sex, who knew? Glad to see some more extended specs on the site, though. Having read through them I have a few thoughts... Note that it's not...

    What do you all think about the EastMall HV pv they got?

    My 2 cents for what it's worth: I would wait until it's been in the market a bit and the bugs have been hammered out. Less expensive, mass-produced, and first-gen raises my caution compared to the HV mods that are well-established for quality. If you're going HV, you're getting a unit that...

    Best site for 510 parts

    When I need something fast, I go to Electronicstix. Top customer service, plus they have a special on five-packs of 510 atomizers ($41.99!) right now, and a 10% off 'ecf10' coupon code. There's also RockyMountainVapor for very good prices as well. Free (1st class) shipping over $14. For a...

    PYP - My Desk looks like a PV Warzone!

    Oh, too much fun to see. My space looks like a hybrid of Wireguy and ShayDwight's... I'm a jewelry artist and I live in a tiny studio apt, so my dining table is my computer desk and my toolshed/workspace and my vaping equipment central. It's a delicate ecosystem that only looks like chaos to...

    What are the best flavors from V4L Carts?

    V4L is now offering tobacco sampler packs, which could help you out in choosing. You might try a higher nic to keep away cravings (11mg is probably too low unless you smoked <1 pack a day or ultralights), and also know that your preferences will probably change as your tastebuds return (an...

    Where Can I Get A......? Cheapest Loarann's I've found if anyone's interested

    A good chocolate juice?

    Agree with what KingKlick and Brittany said -- my general recommendation would be to try vendors who mix their own juice, like MyFreedomSmokes, DIYflavorshack, Ms. T's Bakery, TastyVapor, etc. (Don't get me wrong, the mass-produced Dekang stuff is very good for some people in many flavors, it...

    peppermint flavored E-juice?

    For the best price and taste on 0 nic juice, I'm a fan of TastyVapor. Their "doublers" are a whopping 120ml of low-priced (why pay the same price for 0-nicotine as for high-nicotine?) flavors that you use either for vaping alone or for lowering the nic content of other juices while keeping full...

    computer techy finally making the switch

    Welcome! This place is incredibly geek-friendly ;) and I've found all the information invaluable. Best of luck starting out. Tucson's such a beautiful area... and seems so especially now that the Northeast is clogged up with snow. :p

    Once you tried HV would\do you go back to the 3.7?

    I'm a total 5-6v convert whenever possible, but if I'm out and about I prefer the compactness and cigarette-like shape of a regular 510/808 3.7v battery. The less-frequent refills are also important -- higher volts use up juice more and thus take more attention. So I choose based on aesthetics...

    Taaaaaaaaaaasty Vapor

    The price is right, as davecury said. But if it helps (i.e. you're fine with receiving PayPal payments and shipping liquids securely), Tasty Vapor liquids sell pretty well on the Classifieds. So trying a few ml of a flavor and deciding you don't like it is fairly low-risk.

    Ready for a high voltage PV?

    Right, there is a voltage difference between the Chuck and the Xhaler. I'm only happy at the "5v" (or 5v+ as it may be) on the Xhaler - really perfect sweet spot, haven't hurt an atty yet, even fantastic with cartomizers. Some people do like the Chuck a lot at 6v, though.

    Where Can I Get A......? Cheapest Loarann's I've found if anyone's interested

    Scan through the DIY E-liquids threads (especially on Loranns) for more info on what can and can't be used as a flavoring. Here's what I've taken away from them, FWIW, if I've read all correctly: Anything with sugar/fructose is a no-no. Oils are prone to clogging the atomizer. Some claim...

    Best Hardware for testing DIY Liquid?

    I love the Joye306 atomizers for testing liquids. (306 attys are fully compatible with all the 510 equipment: chargers, PCC, and batteries. Just not the mouthpieces. You can also use the KR808-to-510 adapters...I have a five-pack of those coming from Heaven Gifts.) The 306 is slightly...

    Do you think the flavor changes with age?

    I think, especially with thicker liquids, this might be an issue of flavors "permeating" somehow throughout the juice. I might be wrong, but I have definitely observed that flavors alter a bit with age and this might explain it. (I had cut down enough on my smoking by the time I started vaping...

    I can sit the freaking thing down now!!!

    It can make sense if you consider three other significant variables we don't often know: * Vaping behavior (how long we're holding in the vapor, how accurate our estimates of mLs used are) * Previous smoking behavior (it's proven that drag length/smoke held in the lungs/other behavior...

    Ready for a high voltage PV?

    I don't have a Chuck, but I have an Xhaler and have been using it with both a 510 and KR808 cartomizers. I've been following people's choices and input on this forum with interest. Personally I have really been enjoying my Xhaler as a first HV device. However, my only issue with it is...

    Capella 30% off sale

    I can't find a consistent strength relationship between Loranns and Capellas. I think Capellas is generally weaker overall. Has anyone tried their Coconut, Caramel, or Peanut Butter? vs. Loranns? I've tried both of their Chocolate flavors, the fudge brownie and double chocolate, and they were...

    I can sit the freaking thing down now!!!

    Aside from the whole stimulant-tolerance thing, you might just have a liver that is, like your Chuck, customized for nicotine intake: Nicotine is metabolized, like many drugs, by the cytochrome-P450 liver enzymes, and there are many genetic polymorphisms governing how fast you metabolize...
