    Reusing Cartomizer's

    I use cartos and clearos. I'll vape for a bit, then pop the top and drip in some more liquid. Blow through the device before attaching to the battery to get rid of any excess. I 'think' that if you keep the liquid level up these devices will work for quite awhile. The two I've been using...

    Are "they" phasing out the KR808 threaded batteries/atomizers...

    Still a newbie here working on the "KISS" principle. Started with a 808 setup from CigEasy, then another 808 upgrade from the same place. Thinking my next upgrade will be from Halo, VV and more mah..

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

    Parsing the sentence "When the lithium batteries become warm/hot, the carcinogenic fumes leak from the device and are inhaled.'" I would say that in use the batteries become neither warm or hot. I have not noticed a temperature rise when charging either. I would discount this as rumor...

    "Let me Bum a Smoke from you?"

    Recovering smoker of 40 plus years. Ordered an ecig kit on a recommendation from a member of a pipe smoking forum. Had an ecig in my shirt pocket while still smoking coffin nails and a pipe. Ran out of cig tobacco and decided to give ecigs a hard try while still smoking a pipe. That was two...

    Taxes on e-juice

    Easy enough to do. If 10ml of juice equals one pack, the Fed tax would be $1.00, and my state tax would be $2.00. So $3.00 tax plus six percent sales tax would net the governments $3.18 in direct tax. Add in $5.00 for current price (and another 30 cents sales tax), your $5.00 bottle of liquid...

    A idea for a new type of e-cig

    A bit of wire from an old toaster and a capacitor?

    Hello from Michigan!

    Welcome aboard! I'm still in the newbie "keep it simple stupid" stage, using the 808d-1 battery setup. Cartos, clearos,and one 510 (with adapter) atomizer for testing flavors. Been vaping Desert Ship (Camel) and checking out various flavors, none of which have really appealed to me yet!

    Regarding "cancer" organizations and ecigarettes

    My bad. It is just too easy to point out that the Emperor has no clothes! We are dealing with the Golden Rule, entrenched viewpoints, and Puritanism. We need more calm, educated, (dare I say 'erudite?') cool, and collected "talking heads" to get on/in the media to show what we feel is the...

    Regarding "cancer" organizations and ecigarettes

    Think about these anti-cancer "organizations". Think of how they get their funding and how they spend it. They get their money from contributions. They spend their money on salary and "public service advertisements", with a little on anti-cancer research. They ride the "anti-smoking"...

    How has vaping changed your life?

    Smoker for 40 years plus. No longer feel like a second class citizen. No longer feeling like the goose giving golden eggs to the tax man and getting kicked in the .... (pun?) for the privilege. Wind, sense of smell, taste buds, and circulation improving. Vaping is more convenient. Have more...

    Trying to kick the cig habit officially... Where do I start?

    Newbie to vaping. Long time (40 years plus) cigarette smoker. Every time I 'quit' I would get the shakes, nervousness, and my temper was always quick to boil over. A couple of months ago picked up a starter set. Had the e-cig in my shirt pocket even though I was still smoking coffin nails...

    dripping atomizer?

    New stuff came in today. Screwed the adapter (double female) onto the atomizer. Two drops of one of my new samples. Screwed onto my manual 808 battery. Good vapor, not much taste. Tried the rest of the seven samples. Unremarkable flavor which I'm blaming on my medications (frown). Decent...
