    The hardest time?

    The two worst times of day for me are after breakfast and after dinner, as after breakfast was my "wake-up cigarette" and after dinner was my "wind-down cigarette". I had never really realized that that was what those two were until I started vaping... the first couple weeks, those two were...

    Side effects?

    (Also note: if you enjoy chain-vaping -- which I actually DO enjoy, as it gives me something to do with my hands/mouth -- you may actually want a slightly lower nicotine level for those chain-vaping times just so you don't go over a decent amount!)

    Side effects?

    Headaches, nausea, and shakiness are all symptoms of withdrawal from cigarettes. You may want to take a look at this thread to see the symptoms of cigarette-detox and the symptoms of vaping and compare to get a good guess as to what's occurring to you...

    VapeDudes gets a thumbs-up from me!

    I have to say that I haven't seen much in the way of discussion of vapedudes.com here, so I felt obliged after multiple good transactions with them to give them a review here. My first order with them was for one of their in-house eGo-T kits as well as some juice (came with 3 10ml flavor...

    best e-cig that looks and feels like a cig

    I thought I needed something that was cig-shaped, too, and I ended up using the cig-shaped size for about a week before giving up on their short-lived batteries that always needed to be charged and moving back to my eGo. :) BUT! If you have spare batteries at the ready, look into the Joye 510...

    Nicotine and juices

    I wash my hands every time I fill tanks, etc, but that's because I accidentally got some in my eye once and never want to have that happen again. If I get a tiny little bit of leakage on my hands (not even a drop's worth), I tend to just thoroughly wipe it off. I do tend to toss a paper towel...

    Nicotine levels

    Per ML, yes! :)

    newbie needs advice

    I was a 1.5 pack a day light-tobacco smoker, and for me, 16-18 is my 'normal' level, and 24mg is my 'having a craving' level. So far, it is working for me. But I do vape a lot more than I smoke, and I don't buy prefilled cartridges because I can't accurately control my nicotine intake with them...

    What Flavor Are you Vaping Right Now?

    A pair of BWB's, blended up: espresso and dulce de leche, a little more of the latter than of the former. Not too bad, if I do say so myself.

    Why smoke PG if there's VG?

    Not sure what the MSDS you referenced is, but I do know that PG is a) thinner, b) the primary flavoring agent carrier for most food flavorings in the market. I have had a few problems with 100% VG wicking properly at first in my eGo-T with A tanks/atty, but if I prime the atty and give it a few...

    Vaping as a recreation. Thoughts?

    If I didn't enjoy it, if it hadn't become a hobby for me, it probably wouldn't have made me quit. I enjoyed smoking, too. I don't think it desecrates vaping, because frankly, most of the vapers I've met also treat it as a hobby. Yes, it can be utilized as a smoking cessation tool. I'm using it...

    Not a bad vape considering....Dad

    My husband's 21st Century got him through the first week of vaping and into the second (the second week, he alternated with testing my eGo-T that I picked up on week 2 of trying to use a cheap China kit from a smoke shop). :) He also likes Liberty Flight's RY3, and I agree that it mixes well...

    I'm SOOOOOO Sick!

    Take a look at this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/health-safety-e-smoking/3305-list-symptoms-when-quitting-tobacco-changing-ecigarette.html And oh, do I have quit zits. OMG I HAVE QUIT ZITS LIKE WHOA. I was acne-prone BEFORE quitting. Now, I look like Mt. Zitface. :( :( :(...

    Today I come off of tobacco

    *grin* I don't think of it as just switching brands, admittedly. I think of it as quitting cigarettes, because I'm rather proud I quit. Of course, now that I'm actually experiencing some detox symptoms (I have the worst case of quit zits... omg, it's horrible), I'm doubly sure I'm not going back...

    What Scary Movies Really Shook You and Stayed With You?

    What turned me off of the idea of watching horror movies was the time that I, my little brother, and a neighborhood kid watched Poltergeist. My older brother had a clown doll. We had walk-in closets. Until we moved out of that house, that clown doll was literally in a locked box at the back of...

    Newbie, waiting for my stuff!

    Ooh, you started on the high end. I'm eyeing Provaris and Darwins greedily, but can't afford either anytime soon. :) However, I did make the switch from the stinkies using mostly 16mg juice, and I will make a recommendation of picking up an "emergency" 24mg liquid of some appealing flavor to...

    Hello, I am a noob

    There are some amazing people in this community here, I wholeheartedly agree. Welcome to the fun! And best of luck... vaping's worked wonders for me, and I'm just a month into it, and only a little over a week clear of the stinkies. You'll get there. :)

    Madvapes.

    I asked one of my vendors how to get rid of what I described as the 'perfumey' taste on a freshly-made batch, and the advice I got was as follows: Uncap the bottle, put it in a cupboard or something in the dark, let it sit open for 2-3 hours. Then cap it off, stick it back in the cupboard, let...

    Worst Flavour!

    For me, the worst is VapeDudes.com's "Greenstone", which is supposed to be a tobacco/menthol. It's green. It's dark Nyquil green. And it tastes like vaping Nyquil with something really foul tossed into it for added flavor. My husband kinda likes it. I literally gagged. It's so not for me...

    Today I come off of tobacco

    Also, I think you and I quit on the same day, going by our banners. (But as I used to roll my own cigs, you've saved more money than I have.) I still get hit with the cravings, usually right after meals. In fact, I'd be very tempted to say that after breakfast and after dinner are my two...
