    Businesses that allow vapin

    I vape at my company, but you can't get in there unless you're both an existing customer and cleared through security, so it's probably not generally useful. But I've vaped in meetings, vaped in my office, vaped in the hallways, vaped in the lunchroom, vaped everywhere but the cleanrooms. And...

    Ms T's Gift Certificates - PERFECT For This Time Of Year!!!

    I saw it a couple hours after it was posted, and didn't use it because I assumed someone already had. I guess that old saying about assume is true..... Heh.

    The Ms. T order status thread

    I'm hoping Ms. T has a very mature and very stout nanny. You know, so she's good at taking care of the little ones, but the SO doesn't get any ideas.... Heh.

    REMEMBER TO STEEP ALL MsTS JUICES <<<<MUST READ

    I agree that the flavor changes, but I've found few that (IMO) absolutely must be steeped to be enjoyed. I've tried them fresh out of the bottle and aged, and they're good for me either way, just different. I actually prefer the blueberry pie fresh.

    Replacement menthol... does it even exist?

    A cartomizer is one way to get juice. An atomizer is just a heating element. To work it needs a cartridge. The ego-t kit uses a tank cartridge that holds more juice. Some people love them, some people have less success and prefer cartomizers. A cartomizer is both the atomizer and cartridge...

    2 good reason not to tighten your carto

    I got a visual of you dropping to your knees next to a pile of bricks and screaming NO! at the sky. LOL.

    Walking Dead

    Well, now that Shane is just about half a step from totally bat&%$! crazy, things should pick up for a while. I'm waiting to see how the old veterinarian (I'm lousy with names) takes having all his "sick people" shot. I see him going all wrath-of-god on the others. I'm waiting to see how abused...

    Lets talk about your taste...

    I got here to ECF before I started vaping, and I read posts about banana flavors and cake flavors and all that, and I knew they were insane. Smoking a cake? Blurgh. But tobacco flavors just made me crave analogs and I got tired of the menthol that let me make it through the first few weeks. I...

    Some things that I'd like to learn.

    A) I let mine sit a while. When I know I'm going to be switching to a new carto I fill it about 20 minutes before I'll need it and let it soak in. Sometimes that isn't long enough and I take a straight pin, stick it into the filler and pull it out a little bit. That lets the juice flow down the...

    Throat hit compared to analogs

    One of my coworkers has been hassled by the medical staff at work to switch to vaping, but he always said he smoked Camel unfiltered and couldn't see a wimpy little e-cig matching that. Finally I let him have a hit from my ProVari. Standard 3.0 ohm Boge carto, 4.2 volts, 18mg juice and a...

    Yeah, I've never understood being willing to pay retail (or sometimes above retail) for a used PV. But I guess some people are willing, so....

    is this safer thasn cigarettes?????

    I got a full physical about three months after I started vaping. I'd smoked for nearly 30 years and had 7 years of previous physicals for reference. Part of the physical is lung function, and I'd always tested surprisingly well for a 30 year smoker. My worst test showed a lung age of 28 years...

    not in public but in confined area with family

    My parents are militant non-smokers - they never smoked - and my mother is allergic to pretty much everything. I wasn't allowed to smoke on their property, let alone their house. The one time I brought a cigarette .... in and threw it in their kitchen trash can, my mother walked into the...

    Gonna give this another try

    I never smoked menthol cigarettes (unless that was all I could bum from someone and I was desperate) but menthol juice really hit the spot for me when I first quit. I found I needed more menthol than I could find anywhere, so I got menthol crystals and added them to pump it up. A half crystal in...

    Thoughts on The Stages of Vaping from a Noob

    Oh heavens, no! I'll leave juice mixing to those with a talent for it. I'm not that guy. LOL.

    i want a mod

    It uses them fine, as long as they're not a ridiculously low resistance. 2.5 ohm and up work great, if you like a nice cool vape with lots of vapor.

    Thoughts on The Stages of Vaping from a Noob

    Step 11 is where I'm at: I've found the juice and hardware that works for me, and it finally makes sense to stock up. I have a 6 month supply of the cartos I like, my PVs and my juices. I don't cruise the classifieds anymore, looking for a new hookup. I don't wonder every time someone posts a...
