    Twin Cities, MN Vape Meet

    Uuugh, Lou you're teasing me! I wish I could go and say good-bye to all the lovely MN vapers. :( Oh well. I had a great time at the last one, and I hope you guys have an even better time at this one.

    POLL on e2 cartomizer

    Whoa, just saw this now! Wonky Most Posts thing... The history of the CE2 is long and complicated. Basically, they were initially in negotiations with Vapor4Life (V4L) to sell exclusively through them. But V4L was unhappy with their unwillingness to raise the product to a quality standard where...

    Non smoker normally

    Making you own e-juice from a base (PG or VG), flavoring, and usually concentrated nicotine juice. It's pretty straight forward - use usually 2-10% flavoring depending on the flavor, and work out how much base you need to dilute the nic juice to your desired level. Or, if it's no nic, just fill...

    Any lingering side effects? [For people who have vaped at least one month]

    I selected "continue to have minor side effects." I do have a bit of dry mouth, and a very dry mouth in the mornings. This may be solveable by using less PG, but I'm willing to deal with it because if I use less PG I get no throat hit, and it's just not satisfying. More water!! I was having...

    Hey Everyone! New member here.

    Welcome Katie, you're off to great start to vaping with an eGo. Another young vaper here, and I think you may find the transition a little easier. We're lucky to have found these young. Hopefully you can get back to dancing as well - a lot of people, myself included, to find relief from...

    OK, looking for a battery mod that is priced for a peasant.

    I personally would spend a little more on a charger - 15 bucks will get you a decent one with overcharge protection. But, if you do go for a cheap battery charger, please keep an eye on it and take your batteries off the charger immediately when they are done. These types of chargers usually...

    "All day Vape" Fact or Fiction?

    Pardon me, but my juices are spoken for, by some soon-to-be newbie vapers I know personally who can't afford all of the initial investment of vaping. The only way to find out what you like, is to try stuff. But do re-order soon, as 10ml won't last you long.

    OK, looking for a battery mod that is priced for a peasant.

    Some mods are over-priced in my opinion, but certainly not all. They aren't overpriced when you consider that many of them can easily last for years upon years, and the batteries you put in them are cheap to replace. An eGo battery costs 20 bucks, and it's almost certainly going to fail within a...

    eGo and the 510????? Please advise.

    Goldsguy, Just so you know, myself and many others have damaged or destroyed eGo and Riva batteries by using LR atomizers on them. Proprietary batteries (like the eGo, and all other standard e-cigs) don't have enough amperage to deal with the power that LR's draw, and the switch can fry from...

    I know about steeping now, but what about aging?

    I'm not sure. I mean, looking at the diacetyl thing (not trying to start a debate, just pointing this out!). We learned that there are at least a handful of other compounds which also create a buttery flavor, and different flavoring companies use different compounds. So you have a lot of...

    This is a different universe!

    Don't think of it like that! You'll look like the caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland. All cool and psychedelic.

    Do you mouth or lung inhale?

    When I smoked, I inhaled directly into my lungs. I love a crazy throat hit. But I find that e-cigs actually give a stronger hit than cigs do. So now I do it like you, mouth inhale, and then suck it into my lungs after I've finished my drag. I still get a throat hit, but it's gentler than a...

    I know about steeping now, but what about aging?

    It's impossible to say without knowing the specifics of what flavoring companies use what kind of compounds to create creamy flavors, which seem to be the main issue. These recipes can vary dramatically from one flavoring supplier to the next. The 9-month-old juices I tried, which were...

    I know about steeping now, but what about aging?

    Ya know, I was actually wondering when I asked that if it was creamier flavors. Sounds like that may have something to do with how fast something goes off.

    eGo and the 510????? Please advise.

    Think of it this way. The eGo is just a big battery for the 510. All you need is eGo batteries, and an eGo charger. Your 510 atomizers will work on them. In fact, that's what they're designed for. The mAh rating indicates how long a charge lasts, basically. A standard 510 battery, which is...

    I know about steeping now, but what about aging?

    Wow, really? I've vaped juices as old as 9 months and they tasted great. I know someone who "ages" their juices. Are there specific flavorings that tend to go off faster?

    I know about steeping now, but what about aging?

    Absolutely Dusty - it really does depend on the quality of the ingredients being used. If you're getting your juice and/or DIY supplies from somewhere that uses high quality stuff, you can expect a couple years out of it. If you're not, its lifespan might be a lot shorter.

    I know about steeping now, but what about aging?

    E-juice will "go off" after a couple years. The nicotine will degrade, and so might the flavors. But, short of that, a lot of people actually say letting their juice age for 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, makes it taste better and better. So really, as long as you vape it within a couple years...
