    Heh, anyone else notice the spikes around New Year's? People trying to keep their resolutions, probably. Here comes a newbie influx! :D

    Great American Smoke Out - An Exception, on Principle

    Yup. Just walking down the street, lighting it away from passers-by as I always did. Not being rude. Not blowing smoke anywhere near anyone. He does a B-line for me, and takes a swing. This dude was twice my size. And he felt like it was totally ok to try to hit me, just for smoking. Nope...

    Great American Smoke Out - An Exception, on Principle

    Yeah, I admit, I do. I had someone try to punch me out when I lit up a cig. A stranger, while I was just walking down the street. And it's this culture that makes people feel like it's ok to do that. I don't have any cigs, so I would have had to go buy some. I'm not willing to blow the money...

    Longest Lasting Atty Competition

    The longest I've had an atty in my possession is 4 months. But that atty, and several of my others, came to me used. So I don't know how old they actually are. I've never lost an atty though, so some of them must be quite old.

    Great American Smoke Out - An Exception, on Principle

    You know what? I'm totally with you. I haven't smoked in months. And I can't even tell you how happy it makes me to know that I've helped some people get off cigarettes. Yes, I'm proud of that, I'm proud that I don't smoke anymore, and of course desiring to quit is an admirable and awesome...

    Vaping quizzes

    I re-calibrated the vaping method quiz. Not really sure if it made it more accurate, but we'll see. It's in my blog. :)

    Vaping for 2 days..need advise

    You're just not going to get decent battery life out of anything that small, sorry. To get the kind of battery life you want, you need to go with something bigger. The eGo really isn't big. It's certainly bigger than your RN4081, but it's not a monster by any stretch of the imagination. It's a...

    Topping off carts frequently- am I doing something wrong?

    I use a basic black delrin drip tip with a wide mouth that I got from WordUpEcig.com. Works great. The wide mouth is nice, so you don't feel like you're trying to drip into a pin. Yup, 2 or 3 drops, 10-ish drags, maybe a couple more, and repeat. It's kind of like lighting a cigarette. I get...

    Cool, thanks folks! I think I'll stick these in my blog

    Is there anything more utterly worthless...

    Ah, I suppose that's true. But it still said they hadn't received my package for shipping, even after it had been delivered.

    Topping off carts frequently- am I doing something wrong?

    Nope, you're not doing it wrong. Carts don't last very long, and they also don't vape dry - so there's always some liquid stuck in there, which means you have to top up more frequently. Incidentally, this is why a lot of people don't like carts. You can try modding them to perform better. A lot...

    Atomizer maintenance

    The higher the purified water content, the longer the IA will take to dry. But, the purpose of purifying water is to remove all particles and impurities from the water. This is why it is preferable to tap water, especially in something you're vaping. Tab water has minerals and other impurities...

    Vaping for 2 days..need advise

    The eGo is just a 510 with a big battery. So the battery itself is called the eGo, and it has the threading to use 510 atomizers. And that's what the kit comes with. You can also buy eGo-specific atomizers and cartomizers called "eGo Mega's", but to keep it simple, just start with 510...

    Vaping for 2 days..need advise

    Yup, I think you'll be happy with an eGo or Riva. The cone is actually extra-nice for dripping. If you over-drip (which is likely to happen while you figure out how works best for you) the cone holds it in, so it doesn't leak, and eventually sucks it back into the atomizer. The battery life is...

    Vaping quizzes

    Thanks! Yeah, the "vaping method" quiz isn't as accurate I think. There's so much over-lap in methods. Any suggestions for how to make the results more accurate?

    I started vaping Windows Gadet Counter

    Yay! I use Linux Mint, for dumb people. I'm not techno-phobic, but I don't like messing with stuff too much. Any "normal users" who want to get away from Windows/Mac should give it a try. It's very easy to use, and very pretty. :) Windows-free for... hmmm... over a year now. It feels good. ;)

    Is there anything more utterly worthless...

    Ugh, I agree! And our poor vendors take the heat for it. I hadn't dealt with USPS much before I started vaping, so I didn't realize their tracking system was so inadequate. I ordered something from Good Prophets, and day after day, it said they had only received electronic information for...

    Vaping quizzes

    So icemanx3 gave me quite a good idea to make some vaping quizzes. I did two, once about what e-cig to get, and one about what method to use (dripping, cartos, etc). I did include mods in my "what e-cig to get" quiz, with the caveat that any new user should research batteries and safety before...

    Helps to know your smoking background

    Welcome to ECF! You're right, people can mean different things by "heavy" or "light" smoker or vaper. I'm 21, and only smoked for a few years. I would classify myself as a heavy smoker. I smoked 30 a day which by itself isn't as much as some people, but I also tended to smoke unfiltered cigs at...

    Atomizer maintenance

    Yup, IA needs to either be on a fully solid substance (like metal) or a fully liquid substance that it can dissolve (like juice) to evaporate. It may react with a substance if it can't dissolve it, which can result in a nasty taste/smell, or which can make the IA take much longer to evaporate...
