    Question about charging time

    Some cartos do apparently cause batteries to lose efficiency, but I am less-familiarized in that than I'd like to be to offer a sound answer. I'm still familiarizing myself with the lower-ohm cartos as opposed to something in the 2-2.5ohm range. However, I can tell you that you'll likely love...

    Question about charging time

    Okay. My guess is that you should swap out your batteries a bit more often so they never completely and totally discharge. While older-model batteries used to have the recommendation of using until discharged prior to recharging, the more recent few years' batteries are a bit different, and if...

    Have not seen anything on this here...

    Yeah, that does last a while. I'm still waiting for that to ease up. (But I can smell and taste again, which is a plus.)

    Have not seen anything on this here...

    If by "nicotine palate" you mean that you have taste bud issues (i.e. can't taste things, things taste weird, etc), it's a very common thing. If you mean something else, can you explain a bit more?

    charger question

    While my husband has used Riva and kgo chargers interchangeably without any apparent problem, I strongly advise not leaving your batteries on the charger when you go out of the house/when you go to bed, just so that you're awake, alert, and present if there are any problems. While there...

    Question about charging time

    Having read the original post, I have a couple questions. 1) How long have you had these batteries? You say that when you first got them, they lasted you a couple weeks, and now they're down to a few hours. Any rechargeable battery can start to fail after a while, and it's entirely possible you...

    That's exactly what I'm hoping. One of them tasted REAL bad to start out with... but I figure with time, whatever weird lingering aftertaste I'm getting will fade away as the other flavors finally wake up and come to the party. On the bright side, the tea flavor I got (Earl Grey with fresh...

    Help me pick the right mix please

    Wait a second here. You said you've been vaping for two weeks on the prefilled cartomizers that came with your kit. How many prefilled cartomizers came with your kit? I ask this because frankly, a full cartomizer doesn't last me one day, much less a couple weeks. You may be inhaling burning...

    Oh Nooo!.. Taste bud Malfunction

    Give it time. I remember a few days there where I'd take a sip of my coffee, make a face, stare forlornly at my many-years-old-morning-coffee-cup, shake it a little bit as if that would improve the flavor, try again, make the same face... It gets better. :)

    How'd I forget to post the pic here? Well, I'm remedying that right now. :) One Maximum Vapors "Max Woodie", with a Phiniac sandblasted tank on top, and a real pretty delrin drip tip. :)

    I'm playing catchup on threads today, so I'm behind a bit. BUT! I'm still steeping my own batch of pina colada. The guava colada's smelling a bit more promising, and as I have two of my clearomizers drying out after cleaning them, I'll probably give that one a shot. (If, of course, they dry out...

    First month cost analysis

    Right now, I'm on the "spent more than I did smoking" bandwagon too -- but I firmly believe that it gets better from here. I've slowed down my initial outlay of purchases, and at present, my largest expenditures are on finding something that can last as an all-day vape for me for an extended...

    Gonna stop lurking, now.

    If you're having a problem getting the taste of juice out of your mouth, I recommend taking a teaspoon or two of apple cider vinegar, diluting it in a glass of water, and then rinsing out your mouth with it. The vinegar cuts whatever residual flavor's on your tongue and seems to clear out the...

    Curious noob's questions

    Agreed with wv2win -- PG tends to give a bit more flavor, VG tends to give more vapor. VG tends to be a "thicker" sensation in the mouth, more similar to the "thick" sensation of smoke that PG doesn't provide. However, VG does mute throat hit because of this, so if you're looking for something...

    favorite affordable e-cigarette device?

    I have to admit, I like the lavatube, too. I have a lavatube clone. I use that every single day (heck, I'm vaping on it now). But I also use my Riva batts with clearomizers or carto tanks every day. The only reason that I recommended Riva/kgo to start out with is because most kits come with two...

    Oh Nooo!.. Taste bud Malfunction

    My bitter taste buds came back first, too. I'm pleased to report that after a month, my taste buds are starting to stabilize a bit now, although I have to admit that I never knew I liked sweet stuff quite as much as I do. It came as a surprise! In the meantime, I recommend using either a bit of...

    favorite affordable e-cigarette device?

    I'll also highly recommend Riva or kgo. They are about the diameter of a Sharpie marker, so they're a little wider than an analog cigarette, but the battery charge is far, far superior, and from my experiences with both the cig-lookalikes and the Riva/kgos, I'd take the Riva/kgo hands down every...

    ECBlend - wow, totally unexpected.

    Thank you! I'm pleased about it. (Oh, and I made another order. I will get my "London Fog" flavor perfect yet!)

    ECBlend - wow, totally unexpected.

    I'd stumbled across ECBlend somewhere here on ECF, and wandered over to their website. I was rather surprised to see custom juice options, and their prices were phenomenal. So I figured there had to be a catch. For under $10, I ordered four juices - three custom blends, one standard. Mind you...
