    How much it too much

    Vaping is about 3 times less efficient at delivering nic than cigs according to some research I saw posted on ECF so vaping more often seems logical. lol@ '6th finger' btw Rosa :) I vape a LOT while at the PC - but thats also how I smoked so it doesn't bother me in the slightest. I know Im...

    E-Juice Ratios!

    Same 80/20 is my fave ratio although 70/30 sometimes makes an appaearance :) I do it that way for flavor though not TH.

    Opinion: hard or easy draw

    Easy not hard - I hate sucking on an atty like ice cream through a straw, it should be 'push, inhale,(maybe a long or short one, either is fine) exhale' thats as hard as I want it to be. I've never had the 'air hissing' thing so I can't comment on people's experiences there.

    510 Bridge/wick removal

    I have been drippping almost exclusvely since january and have never removed wicks or bridges - personally I dont see it as necessary but some people like it. I agree with Liv2Ski I wouldnt attempt it on a good atty but if it brought a dead one back to life it might be worth a shot (plus you...

    Whats your favorite 0mg e-juice flavor and vendor?

    PG carries more flavor and TH (where TH is appropriate, usually with nic juices) VG carries more sweetness and vapor production - can also 'smooth out' a rough taste (again this is more appropriate with nic juice) For doublers I dont usually go too heavy on the VG as it can make it too bland...

    510 question? Please Help.

    Yeah pretty much - sometimes you can get lots of hits before you get the acrid taste (if you drip) but sometimes i find Im topping off with extra drips very often. It varies from juice to juice (flavor not always the vendor as it happens with the same vendor juice too). Rule of thumb for...

    Whats your favorite 0mg e-juice flavor and vendor?

    Also the doublers (0mg nic) from Tasty Vapor are very good - I ahve found the Butter rum flavor to give a sort of TH even, other flvors, while great have less 'TH'. ANy kind of mentholy type flavor or cinamon (from anywhere really) should give you a false TH even with 0 mg nic.

    problem with my eGo

    I dont know if this is your issue, but I had one atty that I had to PUSH as I screwed it on to the eGo battery or it wouldn't make a proper contact. Try that maybe?

    5 days smokeless

    Welcome back Kathy - the Riva (aka eGo clone) is a good PV with decent battery life, all you need are some decent juices at the right nic levels for you and you should be on your way to better health than you enjoy right now. 25 years a PAD smoker and now smoke free for 9 months, so I'm no...

    Super butthurt. . .

    ^This. Also I never bother paying for priority shipping as another poster suggested - I find it confuses USPS and ends up taking LONGER on the whole (got a refund off Walmart as the 'next day shipping' I paid for with them took 4 days to arrive so that was the last time I used priority).

    Not getting much taste suddenly

    Are you still smoking cos that'll kill your tastebuds and prevent the flavors getting through. Also if youve been vaping that flavor exclusively for a while your tatsebuds will get 'exhausted' (whether you still smoke or not) and you'll stop tasting it as strongly - try another flavor for a day.

    HV vaping flavors

    5v (but not 6v as I havent tried it at 6) Pina Colada and Waffles (plain flavor) are nice; I do prefer them around 4.5v though. I want to try Butter rum at 5v but I think it might explode my head or something as its already strong at 4v lol.

    A little help for a newbie?

    The law in Aus isn't one I have all the details for but I think its explained in the Aus forum - it does seem the PV are banned if I'm understanding it correctly, but that doesn't mean you'll get arrested for importing one - the possibilities of customs seizing it WOULD be higher though. Once...

    Now I've seen everything

    Back in the 50s film stars tv stars and doctors (yes..) used to promote smoking, nowadays that's the handiwork of satan (apparently) so I'm guessing as we vapers are viewed equally as evil it really matters little who promotes PV. Doctor's TV show or Leo Dicaprio, talk shows, a porn actor or...
