    Ego Questions.I have a couple of 'em :)

    Id buy at least 4 atties - they arent the most reliable product and user error can also screw them up easily. I buy new ones every 3-4 months even if mine are fine (because I worry about spares lol)

    Swollen Throats?

    Drink more - drink a LOT more than you would normally drink. My throat was almost swollen shut after the first week - after that I drank more (especially during vaping) and the problem went away.

    the best e cig model???

    There's no real 'the best' model - only 'the one that you like the best'. All the models we bang on about in the forum are pretty good ones (510 basics, 510 eGos, clones like Riva and Hello, KR8 and clones, 901s etc) but just like smoking people tend to 'brand cluster' and also like smoking some...

    group forums

    It rather depends on your interests and your available time online - you dont HAVE to join any groups you know lol. (I'm in zombie vapers, still not sure how that happened lol)

    VG% PG% water% alcohol% ???

    I dont know much about DIY but I do know people can have 100% VG liquids premade and Ive seen a few posts from people vaping unflavored straight VG or PG (they want vapor or TH but not nic or flavoring). VG can be quite viscous though I wouldn't be too confident about it not gunking up the atty...

    so what do you tell your health care professional about vaping?

    http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ecf-library/74229-links-printable-articles-validate-e-cigs-safer-than-analogs.html You could print some of these off if you want to throw the research at her/him but i just told mine and they were happy that the smoking was now history. They could see my...

    Getting Started With A Joye eGo

    an AA battery is almost the same dimensions as an eGo battery without the atty attached (the ego batt is a tiny bit taller but its the same circumference) - I like to comapre to something real life rather than numbers as my brain won't process it otherwise :) The eGo was MUCH smaller than I...

    Vaping and thyroid issues ?

    Hello fellow Thyroid sufferers!:) I too have hyper and its a disease often masked by and exacerbated by SMOKING - my symptoms improved once I started vaping and my doc reduced my meds. Now I get to take them one a day or none if I feel ok down from 3 a day. Mine onset about a month PRIOR to...

    Buy something from cignot.com

    LiFeJunKie is correct :) Not that I need any excuse to buy from them - I don't buy my 510 stuff anywhere else and haven't since december 2009 lol.

    Can 5v passthroughs ruin USB ports??????

    There IS a chance that if the no-inline PT (the 5v type usually) shorts out it will fry your M'Board. It happened to a poster here (but at WORK LOL I don't know if he 'fessed up about the cause to his boss though). I used a USB/AC wall plug (the one madvapes sell actually) as I found my 5v PT...

    steep time?

    I found AC to mellow somewhat over time but get richer, fuller in flavor (less smack in the face more lightly slapped around the chin lol) - I always found it 'omfgstrong' so maybe that's why its seems no stornger to me after time. I have the Pina Colada (that counts as fruit right?lol) and it...

    Hubby doesn't feel any different

    Get him checked out by the doc - when my brother gave up smoking (he did not ever vape, they weren't invented back then lol) he developed pneumonia about a month later which was pretty easily treated with pills. His doctor said it wasn't uncommon for ex-smokers to go through the wringer with...

    How much do you spend on vaping?

    I voted 50-75 however its nearer 30-40 a month (and soemtimes less) but there's no option for that - so its not really accurate for ME. I did however spend that in a WEEK on cigs so Im saving quite a bit.

    Interesting info about Analogs

    I believe PG has been approved for inhaling - because its used in stage fog and will inevitably be breathed in by performers, gaffers, and audiences alike. Its also found in cigarettes. Food flavorings will be breathed in during cooking (or boiling) in the steam - although its doubtful in the...

    Really bummed out...allergies to vapor.

    PG is in cigarettes in smaller amounts than in juice but its in them just FYI. Your doc will want to know if you tried a new company (they may use a flavor base which you have had a reaction to) or new flavor as before this you had no such reactions. He'll might jsut tell you to stop vaping AND...

    1 year warranty on batts, “No Way”

    Warranties are indeed only as good as the 'paper they are written on'. If the vendor/business goes out of business 2 hours after you buy from them your warranty is worthless (lets face it, even if you COULD go through the small claims court to chase them you might still end up out of pocket, and...

    What batteries and charger should I get for my Buzz?

    dealextreme do some good prices on batteries although having said that I did buy all my stuff from Mike/notcigs whenI got my Buzz because it just saved on me shopping all over the place and waiting on more than one delivery.

    Just got my Buzz and WOW :)

    Boz - mine ususally sits on my desk - so far Ive knocked it off 4 times with atty attached (my elbows - blame them lol) and it most often lands on my modem (metal). I hasnt even got a scratch so far. Certainly the top part has never had an issue of any sort (no scratches, no bending, nothing)...
