    Easy way to fill cartos too good to be true?

    Well, at first, yes, there's some money outlay. But once you have a good PV that you enjoy using, your only expenditures are for juice (which you can make yourself if you want to go really inexpensive, or you can buy for reasonable costs), cartos, and occasionally a new battery. Now, compare...

    Easy way to fill cartos too good to be true?

    I'll second the DoctorVapor vid that Warren posted about a minute ago. Great vid, that -- it's what taught me how to fill carts that way. :)

    Anyone Vaped Caffeine?

    *grin* I've actually found that once you find the right juice to go with your morning cuppa, you get a great combo of flavors, still get the morning ritual of the cup and the inhalation, keep drinking stuff (which is important when you're vaping -- both PG and VG can dehydrate you) and it's...

    Easy way to fill cartos too good to be true?

    I've done this. It works like a champ. However, I think you're thinking of putting it in mouth-side first... don't do that. Put it in threaded-side first. Either way, you're going to get the nicotine in your system, so if you're worried about nicotine as a poisonous substance, you might want to...

    Day One, I made it!!!

    You can absolutely do this. I didn't even plan on quitting when I started vaping (my kid hated smelling like smoke from riding in the car with us), and it... just sort of happened. Just keep "forgetting" to grab cigarettes at the store, hit the vape when the urge to smoke rises, and hang in...

    Anyone Vaped Caffeine?

    Hah, I just answered this question in another thread. Now, where the heck did that thread go... The short answer is that while there have been a few vendors who have sold caffeine liquids, caffeine doesn't tend to absorb the same way that nicotine does. So while yes, you can vape it, it has...

    Rants about vaping

    It took me a while to learn to pull the vapor into my mouth only, then inhale slowly, taking in some extra air with it. What I'd done previously while smoking was to inhale pretty much straight into the back of my throat so it went straight down, "undiluted" by air. A lot of long-time smokers do...

    Can you vape caffeine? No more coffee...

    Right now, VapeDudes has temporarily discontinued their caffeine juice, because they're reformulating it. I was chatting with one of the people there about it, actually. It'll likely be back... but right now, they're focusing on getting some other new items and juices up first before they do the...

    Noob smoker that don't know anything about e-cigg

    For the keyring mod, I will recommend using cartomizers -- a cartomizer is a single-piece combination of a cartridge (the thing that holds the liquid) and an atomizer (the thing that turns the liquid into a vapor) which is easy to fill and to use. While you can use an atomizer and cartridge...

    I am soooo frustrated!

    I'm going to throw out a few suggestions which may also improve your vaping experience. 1) Any manual battery (that's a battery with a button) tends to have a little depression in the end which attaches to the atomizer or cartomizer. Get some Q-tips. Before you charge your battery, use a Q-tip...

    Vape pace?

    At work, I use what used to be smoke breaks to vape, and occasionally still visit the PV at my desk just for the taste of it. At home, I vape a lot. Bakery or creamy flavors mostly. I find that it keeps the munchies away, and as I started dieting before I quit smoking, that's a really useful...

    I knew I was hooked from the first vape!

    For me, I hate, hate, HATE atomizer taste. So dripping is typically a failure for me, because I don't drip often enough, and poof, atomizer taste happens, and I make many horrific faces. Tanks are what's been a godsend to me - the ego tanks are working okay, and I have a Riva-T tank that holds a...

    Is it just me, or does this experience change QUICKLY?

    You will, eventually, and indeed, they are the most fantastic things on earth. I love apples. :)

    Is it just me, or does this experience change QUICKLY?

    I actually ran smack into this very problem about a week ago. I kept feeling like something was missing. Couldn't figure out what in the heck it was until I caught myself fingering the coin pocket of my jeans, which is where (for the better part of 25 years) my Bic lighter in its nickel-silver...

    Side effects?

    I definitely recommend upping your intake of water for multiple reasons. Drinking more water will help flush the toxins from smoking out of your system. Plus, both PG and VG are drying, and thus you can dehydrate a bit more easily. Finally, water does wonders for cleaning out tastes if you...

    Go outside to vape?

    Love vaping both inside or outside! Instead of smoke breaks, I take vape breaks. I like going for a walk and vaping as I do, and oftentimes, I opt to vape outside just because I'm comfortable outside and like a nice bit of sunshine. Of course, in southern California where it's not legal to smoke...

    Sore throat!

    Before you start suspecting the PG/VG problems, take a look at this thread. A sore throat and coughing are both VERY common symptoms of quitting cigarettes: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/health-safety-e-smoking/3305-list-symptoms-when-quitting-tobacco-changing-ecigarette.html That...

    Is it just me, or does this experience change QUICKLY?

    My version of this: 1) Smoked 1.5 packs of analogs a day for about 25 years. 2) Young-adult daughter threw temper tantrum about smelling like smoke after riding in the car with me (we don't smoke at home). 3) Husband picked up cheapie Chinese knock-off ecig for me, and 21st Century ecig for...

    tececig, any opinions?

    I'll echo a lot of what sailorman said, except that I -do- like the eGo, Vgo, Kgo, Riva varieties of ecigs -- they're an affordable upgrade and still have an excellent portability factor, and the batteries are widely available for a reasonable amount of money. That said -- ditch the automatic...
