    Coupon code?

    Am I the only one who feels weird using coupon codes? Seriously, I didn't even use one for the first several orders I made, and it wasn't until I started placing much larger orders that I finally did. I don't know why. It just feels weird. Like I'm taking advantage, or something.

    20% off all orders

    Just FYI, I tried placing my first order with Liberty Flight today and it didn't work. I was hoping to order 10 boxes of cartos. I didn't like the idea of being forced to create an account for a first order, but if that's what you want to do, it's your store. Then I got to the part where I...

    How much failure in the field do you plan for?

    I picked up a little case designed for a 7" portable nav unit at the auto parts store. It holds a spare ProVari, two boxes (10 total) of cartos, three 15ml bottles of juice, and my 5 spare batteries. It's what makes me happy and comfortable.

    My Darwin came BROKE

    That seems like an odd oversight. If it stops charging, how do you know if it's your PV or your charger?

    ProVari or What?

    Everyone is different, but I wish I'd bought my ProVari first. It would have saved me several hundred dollars on sorta-close-but-not-quite hardware. I love mine - that being said, I also bought a GLV3 Mini after I already had two ProVaris, and I use it quite a bit. I don't like it better than...

    getting tired of the atty bashing

    You're only saying that because you're jealous of the cartos. They're clearly better. Jealousy can be an ugly, ugly thing.

    Do Analogs taste lousy after vaping for a while?

    I can tell you how to get the experience without having to light up. It's easy. Put about a half inch of cooking oil in an ashtray that hasn't been cleaned for a few weeks of constant use. Slurp it down. The slick film on my teeth, tongue and gums felt like oil, and the taste was like an old...

    Am I taking in too much nicotine, vaping????

    This whole thing is going to be very individual. I smoked between 1 and 1.5 PAD of Marlboro Red 100s. I figured I'd need a strong juice to get me off cigarettes, so the first stuff I ordered was 36mg. Way, WAY too strong. I cut back to 18mg and was fine with that until some serious personal...

    What's that smell???

    Hi, my name is Scott, and I'm a Febreeze addict. I started vaping over the holidays last year, so my car sat for about a week before I opened the door. And during that week, my sense of smell came back. And we had a little warm spell between Christmas and New Year, so it really got the smells...

    French Toast Review

    So what you're saying is you've stolen my french toast recipe. I add cinnamon, nutmeg and a little vanilla to the egg before I soak & toast the bread.

    First order - how'd I do?

    These are the only two that I've tried, and I love both of them.

    Where to get good banana nut bread and tiramisu juice?

    That's funny, because I'm vaping Banana Nut Bread right now. I get mine from Ms T's Bakery - she's got the best juice I've tried from anywhere. I do order it weaker (nicotine strength) than my regular juice, though. The relatively strong flavor of the nicotine washes out the more delicate...

    Provari 24K Gold Plating Tutorial

    It looks great. You may find the gold layer starts to flake off after a few weeks/months of use, though. If you decide you want to do it again and make it last longer, a couple of tips: -Deposit a few angstroms of nickel between the stainless and the gold. Nickel is a good intermediate layer...

    Travel and Vaping 5VV on a plane?

    I've taken two ProVari VV units with me every time I've traveled and never had a problem. The only time I was even questioned it was because the TSA (at the airport on NY) wanted me to show it to his coworker who smoked. Liquid in my liquid baggie, batteries and assembled ProVari out where they...

    Newbie...question about nicotine and surgery

    As everyone else said, you should listen to your doctor, but.... I've only had any kind of surgery once, on my knee. The doctor gave me strict instruction to not smoke for several days before surgery. I got to the hospital about 30 minutes early so I'd have time to chain-smoke until I checked...

    I dont get the hype for these things (RANT)

    The right hardware and juice flavor. And no, I can't tell you what the right hardware and juice will be, because it's going to be different for everyone. I don't find an eGo gives me a harsh throat hit - just the opposite, in fact. An eGo feels like I'm sucking on a straw, so why bother? The...

    Provari and Battery Life

    There's a thread somewhere in here about it, but don't be surprised if they're no better (or don't work at all, depending on your settings). The ProVari has a protection circuit to protect your atty/carto, the battery and the ProVari. If it senses a voltage dip because power is being drawn out...

    Stop screwing around and get a Provari!

    This poster is probably gone already, but I'll answer for all the others who will read this thread. No one brought up my reason for the ProVari being the best: regulated voltage. Most VVs currently just use a battery and a pot (potentiometer) to "control" the voltage. Like one of those old...

    WTF are all my people??

    My, but that's a lot of plastic surgery. Bless his little heart.
