    vendor loyalty

    I get my juice from Ms Ts Bakery (she has a subforum here) and I get my cartos from IkenVape (also has a subforum here). Ms T makes the best juice I've tried - and I've tried a dozen or so places - and the IkenVape cartos give me monster vapor, flavor and reliability. Of the 100 or so cartos...

    Ms T, I think I love you!

    If she called it either of those, she'd probably be slapped with a cease & desist order, if not a trademark infringement lawsuit.

    Wow!... I have spent a lot of money!

    $750 a year on cigarettes? I was paying $300 a month. You either didn't smoke much or you got most of your cigs free. :tongue: I was going to break even this month, but then I put my ProVari down in the store somewhere and didn't realize it until I got back to my car. A trip through the store...

    web md says the nicotine decreases oxygen to heart??

    No, that's not nicotine, that's carbon monoxide. It's in cigarettes, but not in vaping.

    vendor loyalty

    I tend to be a loyal customer, but great customer service can't make up for lack of quality product. I've bought things for my e-cig from wonderful vendors, but if the product (that they distribute, not make) isn't up to what I need, I find a different vendor. I only buy my juice from one...

    web md says the nicotine decreases oxygen to heart??

    My last physical (done two months after I quit smoking and switched to vaping) showed: -Drastically lower triglyceride levels (205 to 117) -Increased oxygenation (99% - up 5% from when I smoked) in my blood -Elevated HDL cholesterol (the good stuff) -Same level of LDL cholesterol (the bad...

    Question About Drip Tips

    No, the clear ones are great. I also have some black plastic ones that I use, and they don't transfer heat, either. I've switched completely over to using drip tips on my cartos.

    Movie theater vaping

    I've vaped every time I go to a movie, since I started vaping. I also don't want to obscure others' view, so I just blow it down toward the floor. No one has ever said anything to me. But I always go to Muvico and sit in their VIP seating. Reserved seating, table arm rests wide enough to put...

    I did it

    I'll second the Pila charger. I've had three of them, the last is the Pila, and I'm very happy with it. It fully charges the battery, it does it quickly, quietly and reliably. I hesitated about spending that much on a charger, but I'm glad I did. The first one needed a lot of tweaking. I kept...

    HELP - Getting Weird Numbers and Letters on Display

    I'd guess your display is funky, but these are almost normal displays: Pu (Power Up) is the first option Pd (Power Down) is the second option Both of them are showing 5.9 (or something like it) because that's where your voltage is currently set. Po (Power On/Off) Cb (Check Battery) shows the...

    Ms T, I think I love you!

    Your message reminded me of it, so I just filled a carto and I'm trying it now. Hmmmm. I don't think this will be a re-order, and this may be the first bottle of Ms T juice that I don't finish. The flavor isn't hideous. There's clearly the french toast flavor, and syrup. The bacon flavor isn't...

    Steeping

    In a word? Yes. I never bought into the whole steeping thing. Ms T flavors are awesome right from delivery. But I'm just finishing off a bottle of Blueberry Pie juice that's been sitting for a few weeks. I'd put it in a cupboard and forgotten all about it - it's probably three months old. The...

    Ms T, I think I love you!

    Yeah, I've got a bunch of bottles of juice from other places that I'm holding onto, just in case. In case there's like a zombie apocalypse, and I can't get anything else, and it's vape that juice or roll up my dirty socks and smoke those. But I've never let a bottle of Ms T sit like that. Even...

    Now, for this week's GOOD news...

    Yeah, I got an e-mail about it. I just stocked up, but I think I may have to stock up again. You know, just because I can....

    does anyone else do this?

    It's just what it sounds like: juice with crab flavor. You'd have to be a hard-core seafood fan to like it.

    Teeth Pain

    Mine have gotten whiter. I brush 2x a day and rinse with a whitening mouthwash, but I did the same thing before I quit and my teeth were still gray/brown. They're not movie-star white, but they're a lot whiter than they were before. I can tell because I have a crown that was matched to my old...

    Possible to use a normal multimeter?

    And to add to the post above, if you're measuring the voltage on an unregulated VV device, it won't show you the true vaping voltage. When you measure the voltage without a load (the coil in the carto/atty drawing power) it will read higher than it really operates in normal conditions.

    jsut orderd a provari, what are your favorite tanks to use on it?

    If my juice flavoring was compatible, I'd probably still be using the MAP tanks. It isn't - the polycarbonate tubes break down with some types of flavoring - so I've switched to cartos, but I'm keeping my eye out for when the iAtty comes back in stock, and also checking out another tank that...

    I'm new. PLease Help.

    Just to clarify for the OP: there wouldn't be a drop in voltage, because the power is regulated. If you set your ProVari to 4.5 volts, it'll be 4.5 volts until the protection circuit kicks in and shuts it off, no matter what the battery voltage is. Your first puff is identical to your last puff...

    does color matter?

    There may be a misunderstanding about the finish on the original - there's nothing to peel off, it's just the bare, blasted metal. It can be scratched if you're determined enough - I had to drop mine in a parking lot to get a ding on it - but there's no coating or anything to peel off. The...
