    Labor Day sale/coupon?

    Newbie here. Started with 808d-1 system and figuring on staying with it for awhile. Cartos, clearos, and dripping with a 510 ATTY. Simple system. Maybe end up sucking on a light saber some time in the future but for now content with the 808's. Looking at my next upgrade to be a VV with...

    Miguel Martin on Fox Business

    "We" need some one who can explain what is going on in simple, understandable terms. "This is a battery, it provides power to a little heating coil like in your toaster. It heats the liquid which causes it to vaporize. This vapor is what you see. The liquid is composed of FDA approved Food...

    sick and tired of struggling!

    Inexperienced newbie here, so you can take my opinions for what they are worth (g). Reading through the forums, I'm picking up what seems like a lot of talk about CE**** tanks/toppers leaking. If that is the problem, get a new set of toppers to fit your battery as noted above. I've been using...

    My favorite Vaping Quote this weekend.

    I just wanted to get off the coffin nails. Name brand smokes for forty years then RYO. Had bought an e cig kit on a recommendation on a pipe smokers forum and had it in my shirt pocket. Just been using it for occasional 'hits'. Ran out of RYO and instead of dutifully trotting down to the...

    Best cigalike or a comparison site?

    Newbie here. What I want is something that gets the job done with a minimum of nonsense. "KISS" principle. Started with an 808 kit. A lot of 808 material out there - but the 'name' brands, terminology, etc get so confusing. Moved up to a bigger (mah) 808 starter kit. All of my cartos...

    This is what we WERE inhaling ?

    Quote"4.674 lbs of TAR I ingested into my lungs over the time I smoked..."unquote If I could cough up all of that tar from 40 plus years of smoking at once, I would have enough to redo my driveway! Disgusting, especially after the fact!

    fda regulation

    I'm prejudiced and still think that this is the greatest country on earth (and I'll agree with you if you feel that YOUR country is the greatest) BUT I/we can't have absolute trust in our politicians to do the 'right' thing in our opinion. Prior to our Revolutionary War, the rebels said it was...

    Trying (unsuccessfully) to get my mother to switch to vaping. Please help

    Be sneaky. What do cigarettes make her do that she doesn't want to? Does she have to outside to smoke? Would it be more convenient when watching the telly just reach down, pickup an ecig off the table and grab a few puffs? Does she constantly complain about high government taxes? Point out...

    Nicotine content in exhaled vapor

    Just have a talk with him. Explain the parts, and how to 'smoke' one. I assume you were once a cig smoker and tell him of your experience with getting off the coffin nails. Maybe fix him up with a spare set of your own. Tell him about how much money you are saving. If he is like me, also...

    My own review of The Elite 808 Kit

    New vaper here. Started with the cigeasy kit. Happy with it. Moved up to the elite for more power. Still happy with it. Good vape production, simple to operate. I'm a proponent of the "KISS" principle! Cartos, clearos, and dripping with a 510 atty (with adapter). Happy camper!

    Halo G6 is a winner for me!

    I'm an 808 use too. My next upgrade will be the Halo VV with the highest mah available. Holding off on ordering for awhile as what I'm using now fits my requirements...sort of like a kid looking forward to Christmas!

    Lowering Nicotine Strength with Goal of Zero Nicotine

    I'm new to vaping. Intent was to get off of coffin nails. Started with 24mg nic level, down to 18 now as my body adapts. Maybe start your morning vape with a higher nic level then the rest of the day go with a lower level? That way you get the initial rush and taper off.

    Fear from FDA, Family Members, etc That Vaping is Long Term Substitue for Other Addictions

    Quote "With other nicotine delivery systems either the gum, the patch, lozenges, etc there is a recommended set of procedures that you follow...i.e. you are on step one for x amount of weeks at y mg of nicotine per day and you gradually step down to w amount of weeks on z mg of nicotine per day...

    Vaping isn't new user friendly yet

    "Gimme a pack of Camels" was certainly a lot easier. Vaping has its own secret language, with different makes and models not interchangeable. A lot of recommendations about what is bad, good, and better from everyone. Me, I'm a newbie. 808 system, cartos, clearos, atomizer for dripping. Next...

    Triton tanks on other Batteries/Mods

    Newbie here, looking for clarification. Have been using the kr808d-1 battery system (cigeasy, cigeasy elite 808) and was thinking my next upgrade would be a Halo VV. Will my cartos/tanks fit the Halo battery? I would pick up a Halo battery charger at the same time so that is not a problem. TIA!

    New "Crutch" user

    I think I've seen movies with that story line (g). I figure if them type of people need to boost their egos, who am I to ruin their day by pointing out the obvious?

    New "Crutch" user

    I don't see e-cigs as a 'crutch' but rather a tool to get off of coffin nails. Get off cigs, then start cutting back on the nic if you would like to. Either way you'll be walking tall! Welcome to the fold!!

    New here. Overwhelmed but so excited!

    Newbie here also. 40 year plus heavy smoker. Two months plus without a coffin nail! Pleased and amazed that I didn't get the withdrawal symptoms, sweats, nervousness, and that deep desire to hurt people like all the other times I tried quitting! Really happy that I'm not giving money to my...

    Class at Hospital - "Lithium battery in ecigarettes release carcinogenics." Help me respond to this?

    Might be overkill, but hate is a powerful emotion. You might not think that someone could "hate" you for disagreeing with them but it happens. Be cautious and guard your back!
