    What is delivey time from Heaven Gift in China?

    Took a little over one week in November .... over three weeks in December/January. They ship within 2-3 days, but the time it takes to delivery can vary wildly, and tracking information anywhere isn't reliably updated. My suspicion is that when CNY is over, if factories shipping out have a ton...

    Dark juice bad for cartomizers?

    I've used very dark DIY liquids (dark flavorings) on my KR8 cartomizers without a problem yet. All of my TV liquids that have coloring in them have done fine as well. YMMV of course, but cartomizers don't seem to mind it.

    Anybody ever heard of K2 incense

    It's another one of the uncontrolled, unregulated herbal blends intended to induce effects similar to illegal drugs. The problem is that some of these products contain unlabeled, synthetic cannabinoid agonists that have nothing to do with the herbs labeled on the package. (I'm toeing around...

    health risks associated with snuff?

    This is interesting, and I appreciate what's been posted here. TV, thank you for that explanation. The medical database searches I did turn up so much about the problems of oral/moist/dry snuff in American journals (dip/chew!) and the low risks of snuff in Swedish journals (snus!), and it...

    Anyone come up with a lanyard type thing yet?

    Cool design! It gives me an idea... I make custom chainmail jewelry in a variety of metals. I can make a chain sturdy enough to hold any mod's weight comfortably, but the holder is what was frustrating me. I don't have the extra time right now to learn leatherwork, and a chainmail mesh pouch...

    "Cartomisers" What have you learned?

    My technique for refilling cartomizers: This looks all complicated but it's actually very quick once you get the hang of it. 1) Keep the battery-end plug and cap on. Pry out the mouthpiece and silicone O-ring. 2) Drip into the wick along the wall of the cartomizer, to avoid the atomizer tube...

    "Cartomisers" What have you learned?

    Refilling cartomizers comes with a real learning curve. I can only list my mistakes, and the lessons I've personally taken from them. These are purely my opinions. 1) Don't drip through the mouthpiece hole. Doesn't work. Open up the mouthpiece to find out why: there is a silicone...

    Vipers from Lithuania

    You might notice that most Americans, including here on the forum, are pretty understanding of people who speak English as a foreigner. Don't be worried about that. :) (If you have questions or want to talk about e-cigarettes, I don't speak any Lithuanian, but maybe you know Russian better...

    Need a little advice

    I love the German Chocolate Cake, Butterfinger, Blueberry Cheesecake, etc. but the TV Butter Rum was actually too sweet for me. Just shows you how much tastebuds vary! If you love fruit flavors, try the Peach Melba. It tastes more like the slightly sour peach gummy rings to me (I ordered w/...

    Having trouble giving up the analogues

    I'm happy for those who quit right away with vaping, but don't think you're abnormal if it's a challenging transition. Plenty of us here needed to experiment a lot before finding the right combo of liquid flavors, nic level, device, habit training, and/or safer smokeless tobacco to really kick...

    Sniffed my first snuff today

    Voltaire -- glad to hear your reviews, and looking forward to more. I just joined the snuff crew too :) and my first try was the Dholakia Swiss Choc. It seems like I made a good first choice! I was impressed, too. I'll have to try the Chococreme. The Wilson's Orange Chocolate caught my eye...

    New here. Ready to Buy. Just a few questions. KR808

    Yes, they will. V4L's Vapor King is a KR808d-1 so it's compatible with the parts you see anywhere else. (Some of V4L's parts have special features, like unique battery colors, a sturdier USB pass-through, and longer cut-off times on the XLong batteries, but the compatibility is the same.) So...

    Bluegrassvapor - CUSTOMER SERVICE (A+)

    In every package, yes, that would not be a good deal. But a single dead cartomizer? It happens. Some die after two refills, some die after fifteen. They're disposable, shorter-lived, and cheaper in construction than atomizers. I'd estimate I've gotten two DOA cartomizers among the ~30 I've...

    weight gain and nicotine not adding up

    toothfairy -- I'm sorry, I'm afraid I assumed you had switched to vaping! (Ignore my comment about smokeless tobacco for the moment -- it's really intended for those who find vaping isn't enough for their mood/mental state, which is a small minority.) If you are considering going back to...

    What's under your lip/in your nose right now?

    Hi all...been scarce a while. I won't detail the drama, but life's kinda jumped me in a dark alley these days. Just a bunch of ill-timed events. (It derailed my work on summarizing 'so are we getting it', for which I apologize deeply. It's getting there... but most things have been derailed for...

    54mg unflavored e-liquid

    The 901-510 will work with Joye306 (not the same as 306a) atomizers, which are great for dipping as they have the exposed atomizer bridge too. (The 306 cart fillers are worse than useless and can be pushed out of the cart with a safety pin or straightened paperclip through the mouth-end hole.)...

    Paypal E-liquid?

    Nope, he switched to a credit card processor; according to him, he hated sneaking around Paypal's rules, and I don't blame him. (I wish I didn't have to use Paypal for my online business, as I don't want to support their actions, but I'm too small-time to afford linking up to an independent CC...

    weight gain and nicotine not adding up

    How long have you been off cigarettes? A lot of people have unpleasant symptoms when they first stop smoking. Mister wrote a good post about that. But given the severity of what you're experiencing and the symptoms (depression, joint/foot pain, 25lb weight gain, fatigue), I would talk to your...

    How long are you finding carts to last?

    Sounds like you're talking about 3-piece cartridges, not cartomizers... Taking the filler out on a cartomizer doesn't work so well. It's very easy to pull out or distort the atomizer workings at the same time. I don't clean my KR808d-1 (the model V4L sells) cartomizers between refills; I just...

    weight gain and nicotine not adding up

    I've seen a few studies mention that weight gain after smoking cessation is only partially due to increased appetite/food intake. So when you stop smoking, there's often also a rebound in the form of metabolic changes (plus, potentially, fatigue and other symptoms). Because tobacco smoke is...
