    Not Gonna Buy Any More Premixed E-juice. EVER.

    I completely agree with you Mudflap, and let me say - welcome to the DIY side of ecigs! I, for one, appreciate the juice I vape much more since I am now making it myself. I got lucky with my first batch recipe and now it takes me only a few minutes to mix up a 120ml batch that will last me a...

    How do you use your juices? Straight or mixed?

    I use TPA flavors and all have done well for me. To bypass the steeping part, I boil some water in a rummermaid container in the microwave, then let the bottled juice sit for 5 minutes or so in the container. Even my 120ml bottles work well with this. I've never had to steep since I started...

    Favorite Cartomizers?

    My juices usually come out something like 33% vg/67% pg. I use clear liquids, even the double chocolate I use is clear. The final mixture eventually turns into a reddish orange. I don't use any flavors or liquids that aren't clear initially. That has helped my cartos' longevity a lot.

    Favorite Cartomizers?

    I've got like 125 cartos left in my stash lol so I don't worry about needing spares. I got a really good deal on my 1.7s and Boge 2.0s when I stocked up so figured I'd go ahead and REALLY stock up haha. I've essentially enough gear and liquid to last me for 5 years. Sometimes I do forget how...

    How do you use your juices? Straight or mixed?

    I make my own juice now but I never had much success in mixing pre-made juices. Just couldn't find a satisfying mix. One of the reasons I went to DIY. I got lucky on my first 1st bulk batch so I just stick with 1 flavor now. A combo of bavarian cream, double chocolate, mint, peppermint, koolada...

    Favorite Cartomizers?

    When I was using ready-made juices, my favorite was the Boge LR 2.0 carto. After making my own juices (variations of mint chocolates), I have found that the CCV Resurrector 1.7 works best for me. Tons of vapor, warmer TH, and great taste from the juice. After using these, the Boge 2.0 just seems...

    Augusta, GA -- E-cigarettes in smoking ban extension

    The point I am trying to make is that no matter how big or small the numbers are, it is getting released in the air and we have to be mindful of it as we don't know the full extent of the side effects. However, we do know how nicotine affects us physiologically and neurologically. We know that...

    Hey, hope you all are doing well! I've been taking a break from the forums due to work schedule and other reasons. Figured I'd pop in and say "hello!" Might have to take another break after dueling it out on the legislation forum again lol.. Hope everyone is doing great! Ryan

    Augusta, GA -- E-cigarettes in smoking ban extension

    kristin, I do not get my information from news outlets but in fact from 1st hand sources. I do not regurgitate the articles written by the mass media. Nicotine does get into the air. It can affect people, especially children and pregnant women. It can be and is absorbed by those around the...

    Augusta, GA -- E-cigarettes in smoking ban extension

    I smoked for 7 years heavily. I have been vaping for 14 months now and I do thoroughly enjoy it. I am not an "anti-smoker" or demonizer of smokers. However, I am well aware of the health risks of smoking and 2nd hand smoke. To pretend that second hand smoking risks do not occur is ignorant to...

    Augusta, GA -- E-cigarettes in smoking ban extension

    You should know that healthnz.co.nz is not an equivalent of the FDA or BMJ. That study was not peer-reviewed. The link you gave just has a table and some unsubstantiated claims. The lone source is the study itself. Again, no peer review. It seems as if you have just found a site that coincides...

    Augusta, GA -- E-cigarettes in smoking ban extension

    To be quite honest, I don't mind banning e-cigs along with cigarettes inside public places. Remember, when you exhale, you are exhaling a lot of nicotine, especially since the majority of the nicotine is not absorbed in the lungs compared to cigarettes. I would not want children or elderly...

    vaping failure weekend. :(

    I was having a similar issue just this past weekend. I have not even had my reo grand that long. I decided to give it another hot water bath. I usually do this once a week. Flushed it for about 30sec under some hot water. Works like a charm again. I use a lot of VG so there might have been some...

    Lava Tube Battery Scam

    Lighthound is the only place I get batteries. Consistently cheap, very fast shipping, and they have real AW batteries there. I've got 10 so far, none have failed and all work great. They have detailed specifications listed for every battery, so you know exactly what you are getting. Hope that helps.
