    rash around lip/nose area

    MAke sure you are well hydrated also - drink a LOT, especially when vaping - overly dry skin can crack and become red too.

    Peeling Paint on atomizer ?

    Get some wire wool/steel wool and sand it off. You can pick it off too but it tkes longer. They look kinda cool in 'steel' and it won't affect its performance. Edit: Cover the vent holes and threaded end with tape or something to prevent any paint flecks getting into the bottom of the atty.

    Baby steps

    I'm almost into month 9 now - it hardly seems possible that I started this journey that long ago, not even wanting to quit smoking, just wanting to feel BETTER and here we are, ciggy-free, since day 10 that I got my 510. I'm a bit scared that the FDA might force me back into ill-health for 'my...

    Cignot=good price, good product and great service!

    OT - Its really good actually Im pretty pleased I got this one. Its also built really well; solid. I still take my eGos out n about but its pretty much ALL Buzz at home or in the car. I do need to get a multi meter though - so I can work out what voltages Im using for each juice lol.

    Cignot=good price, good product and great service!

    Hah looks like cozz gave up on his denial of fanboydom after all :-D Cignot are great - worth the couple of dollars extra you might save at some cheaper but crappier place. I never go anywhere else for my 510 atties, eGos, PT and 'stuff'. And I'm not stalking you seabrook..honest :lol:

    Vaping, more addictive than smoking?

    At first perhaps but really not now - I have the same cravings for my PV that I had for my pack of cigs but Im honestly not buying stuff other than spares or replacement parts / replacement juice now. If I wasn't chain vaping Id be chain SMOKING at weekends when Im at home. When I go out I use...

    Help! Burning throat

    silky - the 901 carts fit the 510 atties (snug actually but thats a plus as the atty heat makes the 510 carts go baggy over time usually) and you can get those in super thin flat tips (too thin for me its like having a piece of paper between my lips lol)

    What is the Coupon Code ?

    I think the field is for when they opened - or not long after - and had some promo codes (but tbh I think theyve dropped all their prices since then too if I recall correctly) but afaik they don't do any currently.

    How many days do you get out of your atomizer and what's your voltage?

    Odd. Ive killed 3 in the past month on my Buzz, I just figured it was bad luck (usually mine last ages so I figured I was due some crap ones) or the fact that I have no clue what voltage Im vaping at and might have been vaping at too high a voltage for their comfort. I lost my sweet spot the...

    UPDATE: FDA Warns Five E-Cigarette Makers, Says Products Need FDA Approval

    I wonder how the judge in charge of the appeal will view this action, seeing as it APPEARS to violate the original ruling? Not sure of the sub judice laws here either. Has anyone brought it to the court's attention?

    FDA Vs. E-Cigs

    The FDA isn't going to go away - just ask the companies that produce St John's Wort - a herbal supplement used (and approved I might add) in Europe for hundreds of years. Its even available on the NHS in the UK as a mild antidepressant. It works, the only caveat is that it should not be used...

    FDA Vs. E-Cigs

    People should start writing their senators calling for a vote of no confidence in the FDA - if they put this much effort into looking at new drugs on the market perhaps things like the Chantix and Accutane farces wouldn't occur. The FDA (a govt agency, and therefore subject to congressional...

    Help, think I did something stupid

    I dont do DIY but I know some vendors use cinamon oil in their juices and Ive seen others use it as well - it CAN be hard on the atty - but it doesn't mean it WILL be. I don't think its worse on your lungs than cigarettes were, and many juices I get that are pre-made, while I know they are...

    For Non-Smokers?

    If you were considering smoking cigs OR using a PV then Id say use the PV but if you had NO intention of smoking then I really wouldn't start. The hand to mouth habit is a really hard one to break - jsut ask a smoker one of the many reasons why the patch or gum doesn't work and this wil...

    DH - Dear Hubby sighs

    Tell them you love them and then add 'you brought me up to be/married me/chose me as a partner partly because I am an intelligent independant person capable of making my own decisions. It makes me happy to know that you will support and encourage me and are there for advice should I ever need to...

    Attys from same purchase with different "hit"

    They do seem to vary from atty to atty at times, I can't say WHY because they are all made the same way - only guess that quality control at JOYE isn't sometimes all it ought to be or its just one of those things that electrical goods seem to do in general (I could tell you some stories about...

    So I've been a troll for a while now...

    Welcome Boots :) LR attys sure do make the eGo/Riva experience more intense, but they do seem to die a little faster than their 'regular' cousins in my experience. A very cheap way to experience a faux HV vape though :)

    Could vaping help curb compulsive eating?

    I dont know if it could but I suspect that LONG TERM it would NOT have an effect. Short term, perhaps but long term I doubt it. I still get hungry (hungrier than when I smoked) and although I am a. using nic and b. not eating as many SWEET foods I do still want to eat SOMETHING. I'm a slender...
