    Single folks! Do yall strictly vapin' check "no" for smoker?

    I have no problem listing myself anywhere as a non smoker. The reason is simple - I don't smoke!

    New Janty STICK, ANY INFO

    From what it sounds like, if you take Janty's battery-assisted passthrough and stuff it all into a box, you've just make yourself a Janty Stick - less elegant looking perhaps but a lot cheaper.

    What gives you the "hit"?

    I get the best hit (from either penstyle or 901) by cultivating a long, slow, easy draw. Nic counts, but for me going above about 12mg makes no difference. Some flavors (PS coke for example) seem to deliver hit via flavor. Just to make this analysis worth even less, there are times when nothing...

    You youngins forget! The gov't tried to ban booze way back when. Didn't work too well, did it? See ya at the "Vape easy"...

    What's your fav unflavored juice, in reguards to aftertaste?

    I have tried cranberry by itself. Nice candy-like flavor but not something I'd like to vape all day. I've also found that LorAnn cheesecake is like Bavarian cream, but much less strong, which makes it easier to blend in with other flavors. Blackberry and cheesecake is definitely a winner.

    Opinions on vaping safety

    I still have a big belly. I can't smell or taste any better than I used to when I smoked analogs. I don't get any hornier than I used to. I still eat too much, but not more than when I smoked. I spend as much on vape stuff as I did on tobacco because I have become a hobby nut at this. But -...

    Parts on hand...

    I've got lots of juice, a box full of atomizers, many batts and passthroughs. If a tank with a red star rolls into my neighborhood, well, I'm in NYC and our biggest cockroaches (known affectionately as Kili Lubergers) are a match for any bunch of godless commie creeps! Or to return to sanity...

    second hurdle, there is one

    Hi Aspen and all - I love to smoke too. I also love to vape and the vaping is winning. Both my brother and I had been fans of R.J.Reynolds since teen years. His Luckies gave him lung cancer, my Camels gave me bladder cancer. It's NOT going to kill me (Viking blood dies hard!) and I only vape...

    Variations in flavor sensitivity

    I have found that my sensitivity to vapor flavor varies wildly, even during the same day, so much so that the notes I have been taking about various blends are almost worthless. For example, I'll make a blend that has a nice flavor, and the next day it will seem tasteless...or too strong! This...

    flavor type recommendations

    Bickford has the best coffee flavor I have found yet. It's more like espresso and definitely not like "coffee candy". I find that I need at least 20% to really taste it.

    What's your fav unflavored juice, in reguards to aftertaste?

    I bought 100ml of unflavored PG 36mg from David Yang. As far as I can tell there is no taste or after taste to it at all. I use LorAnn's glycerine to enhance vapor. This does have a slightly sweet aftertaste when taken by itself, but I use at most 10% in a blend and then don't notice it. TW...

    DIY e-juice tasted crappy...

    I make very small batches for testing (about 20 or so drops). If it's anywhere near what I had in mind I'll try adding to it; if not, out it goes. BUT - I do record every experiment in detail, exactly what I blended and what it tasted like. Experience is building up and a killer juice may one...

    NYC vaporers

    Blue Knight - thanks for the info. I'm generally in "stealth mode" when I vape on the subway but I'll take a good look around first after reading your description of the "subway law". The description does seem to proscribe vaping.

    NYC vaporers

    I vape nearly everywhere (I draw the line at concert halls and synagogues), certainly on the subway, in restaurants, you name it; and I haven't seen anyone else vaping yet! Really weird! Nice to know there are at least a few others out there...

    How long has your atomizer lasted ?

    My current generic penstyle atty (from SmokeSafe) is in it's third month with no reduction of vapor and no bad taste. I drain it overnight every few days but otherwise leave it alone. I've never had an atty go totally cold. Usually they just give weak smoke. I've never got much if anything out...

    BEstecig or Ruyandirect for pen atomizers???

    I have to agree with taz3cat on Beci products. The atomizers are excellent but the bateries are weird. They seem to be sound activated...the little guy to the left got one to light up without hardly raising his voice!

    Does Anyone Carb-Hit?

    Sure - it's like using the choke on an engine. It also increases heat, which might limit the life of your atty.

    Making Stock e-Liquid Taste Better

    Bickford Coffee flavor, mixed with purchased coffee liquid that has light flavor, produces a much better taste. I've tried it with Janty and Kick coffee liquids. In both cases about 10% of the Bickford's was enough to produce a nice almost espresso taste. I also added a bit of glycerin to...

    Dumb question about eLiquid, juice, nicquid...

    It would seem that much of the cost comes from handling the nicotine, whatever the strength of the finished product - so all levels of nic would cost about the same to make. What that doesn't explain is why zero nic costs the same as juice with nic. That, I think, is simply a ripoff. You can...
