    Help with looking for a new VV PV

    Variable voltage setups all seem to be stronger than 650mah, if only because at higher voltages, you're using more battery life than you would at a lower voltage. So greater than 650 is easy to do. :) If the battery has a T in the name like this: "ego-T", that's actually a reference to the...

    Total NooB Need HELP! MANY questions???

    I'm still puzzling through ohms/resistance myself, and finding out what it means in terms of my vaping experience. But voltage, I can explain. The higher the voltage, the warmer the vapor, and the more quickly it heats up the carto/tank you're using. This changes the flavor of the juice you're...

    Provari?

    I am still happy with my Ego. That didn't stop me from acquiring a Lavatube-type to play with VV mods. ;) My egos fit comfortably in my pocket and are easier to go in public with, though, and people look at you strangely (at first) when you're carrying a larger PV. ;) I suspect that I'll be...

    How Easy Was Switching to a Tobacco Alternative??

    I chose the 'accidental' method for the poll because I actually had no intentions of quitting when I started vaping. In fact, I was dead set against it for the first 24 hours, and the only reason I started vaping was due to complaints from my non-smoking daughter, who hated smelling like smoke...

    Simple and embarrassing atomizer question

    I will dispute ukeman's view on this slightly, if only because finding cartridges is surprisingly easy for me even now. That said, cartomizers are far more prevalent on the ECF vendors' websites, likely because of the capacity of a carto (it holds a LOT more juice) and because of the simplicity...

    3.7V vs 5V vaping

    5 volt mods run a bit hotter, from what I can tell, and the flavor of the juice changes substantially. What you might not have liked at 3.7 may taste great at 5, and vice versa. That said, I've got very limited experience here, as I'm still playing with my lavatube-type mod and trying to find...

    Simple and embarrassing atomizer question

    The cartridge acts like a carto, yes. It's been my experience that I refilled cartridges a LOT while using them. The 510-type cartridges I got initially, I was told to put ten drops of liquid into, then prime the atty with a drop or two, then use them. They worked... but they sure weren't as...

    Heartburn anyone?

    I will agree with people who say not to mess around with chest pain and to go see a doctor. That said, heartburn is a common symptom of quitting smoking. Take a look at this thread both for symptoms of quitting smoking and symptoms of vaping...

    How bad is this?

    I haven't cleaned carts this way, but I can say that for cleaning attys, I tend to use vodka... but I let them air-dry for at least 24 hours before use so that all the alcohol can evaporate.

    What flavor are you vaping right now...

    VapeDudes' cinnamon roll, extra flavor. Yumyumyum. Buttery goodness.

    Experience and epinions on Chinese e-liquids

    While I'm by no means an expert on the Chinese liquids (I tend to stick with the American-made ones), I will toss out the one experience I've had with a no-name type of juice: it tasted awful and I still don't know how they could make vanilla taste that horrifying. So I'll highly recommend going...

    Kgo performing strange

    A cartomizer is a single-piece combination of a cartridge (the thing that holds the juice) with the atomizer (the thing that turns the juice to vapor). Were you using a single piece with your Kgo battery, or did you have two separate pieces (atomizer and cartridge)? From the sound of it, you...

    Can 2nd hand vapour affect my children

    I sincerely doubt that there's going to be any problem with secondhand vapor UNLESS you literally have a cloud hanging around you. As I've never succeeded at making a cloud unless I wasn't inhaling, and I tend to inhale so that I can get the nicotine in my juice, this is a very rare situation...

    Old-time radio cigarette ads (ramble.....)

    I have to admit that while I like old-time radio shows, I was amused to see this cigarette ad on the back of an old Saturday Evening Post recently. It was leaning up against something to prop it up so people could look at the cover, but it should still be visible in this quickly-snapped picture...

    Ebay is out of hand.

    That's why my boss doesn't ship priority mail. The business ships media mail. He stopped doing priority just before all the fee changes went into effect, and we sure don't miss it. ;) But ebay does allow you to charge more than $4 for shipping -- you just have to print your shipping labels...

    New and have questions about E Cigar's

    While this is not a ready-made thing (it requires some DIY), someone posted a gorgeous cigar mod the other day on this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/cosmetic-mods/224184-cigar-ego-wrap.html They used a Sapphire as the base for the mod, and if you're willing to play around with...

    Easy way to fill cartos too good to be true?

    *grin* Let me see. In the just-about-two-months that I've been vaping, I've gone from a cheap Chinese convenience-store type ecig to a Joye 510 mini, then to an ego-T, buying more attys & such for the ego-T, then to buying tankomizers for said ego-T, to picking up Riva batteries to experiment...

    Ebay is out of hand.

    I'll second Strigoi's view, as I work for a 14-year eBay seller who's sold well over a million items on eBay. Yeah, my boss has had some bad feedback (generally either from people outside the US who complain about the time they had to wait when they chose the lowest-cost shipping option, which...
