    Trying to stop smoking analog cigs, about to try vaping

    Well, I've always found that (for me, anyway) quitting cigarettes comes in two stages. When you stop buying cigarettes, and when you stop bumming cigarettes from other people. At least that's what I did when I tried cold turkey. So, for a weekend you could go the bumming cigarettes path - at...

    If you could only have one setup

    What I'm currently settled on. ProVari with an Ikenvape XL carto. I've gone through just about every popular combo out there and this is what makes me happy.

    My Ego battery isn't charging.

    Sounds like the controller chip in the battery is gone. It happens. I see a new battery in your future.

    ProVari

    I'd be at a savings, if I hadn't bought two of them. Or if I hadn't bought that crappy, but expensive, mall-style e-cig. Or the two eGo kits. Or the 300ml of juice that I stocked up on before my taste buds settled down and I found a juice vendor I could stick with. Or... well, vaping is a...

    ProVari

    I understand it's not for everyone, but to be fair it does things that "cheap (and ugly)" one doesn't. The set voltage stays the same from beginning to end - it doesn't with a simple pot knob. As the battery fades, so does the power going to the coil. On the ProVari, your first puff is the same...

    ProVari

    I wish a ProVari had been my first purchase. I went through four different PVs before I found it, and wasted a lot of money. Well, not totally wasted, because they got passed on to others who were curious and it got them off cigs, too.

    Does anyone have a favorite place to buy eliquid?

    I'll add a vote for Ms T's. It's the only place I buy from these days. She doesn't keep a stock on the shelf, though, she mixes each batch up as it's ordered, so it takes about a week to get your order shipped. I just order ahead of when I need it. Most of the time. I forgot once, and was...

    Vaping and Parrots

    I know what you mean. Most times I talk to people about Boo, I'm trying to talk them out of getting "a pretty parrot that will talk and do tricks". I emphasize the time, money and patience it takes. Then I talk about the money a little more. Quarterly vet visits, whether she's sick or not. Nail...

    Travel and Vaping TSA interaction: personal experiences

    Yeah, the Business Class lounges rock. Tangential to the thread, you're TorqueGuy with an air-cooled Beetle? How does that work?

    Show me your homo PV's!

    1. When asked for a philips screwdriver you? E. Go into the garage and dig one out from under the rubble. Said rubble currently consists of sawdust and scrap pieces of lumber from last weekend when I made my bed (Yay! No more futon!), spare car parts, the AC vacuum pump that I dug out to...

    Ms. T's Bakery......delivery problems?????

    I got my little sister hooked on Blueberry Pie juice. We took a long drive together, out to visit family, and she'd brought the last little bit of her Blueberry Pancakes. When she ran out, I passed her my ProVari to take a sample of my Blueberry Cheesecake, and she stole my bottle. She'll be...

    Summertime E-juice Storage, and A Little About Ms T, Her Quality, and Her Pricing

    Yeah, Ms T charges a little more for juice, but provides the best flavors I've tried. I'm over 6 months cigarette-free, and I don't think I would have gotten here if I hadn't discovered Ms T. I was getting frustrated with the (lack) of flavor and this stuff even rocks on a wimpy little e-cig...

    Unhappy Provari customer

    I'd buy one of those - but I'd like it to be a little longer and have a cut-out for the button. Too easy to accidentally press that thing if it was swinging around my neck, and the leather around it would make that less likely. Is she looking for a small business opportunity? I bet there's more...

    Woohoo!! Go Ms. T!

    I did order last Tuesday, and it did ship Monday, so right on schedule. And I've got three new vapers all turned on to vaping with Ms T's juice.

    Provari with MAP Tank -- Flooding Question

    I'm sure it's the juice I'm using, but I'm not changing out juice I like just to get a tank mod that doesn't crack. Cinnamon flavoring and polycarbonate don't play well together, but you'll get my Ms T's Apple Pie and Snickerdoodle Cookie from me when you pry it out of my cold, dead hands. :D

    Provari with MAP Tank -- Flooding Question

    If anyone finds a tank that doesn't crack, clue the rest of us in. I ran out of replacement polycarbonate tubing at the same time as I ran out of patience. Serious bucks to the first guy who figures out that a stainless steel tube with machined clear plastic ends will let you see the juice...

    What describes your political ideology best?

    I don't see any of those options as particularly applicable to me, because there is no more utility in the old right/left paradigm. After talking politics with many, from all over the world, I'm told my views are probably closest to the Social Libertarian party in Europe. I think government has...

    Need Help For First Purchase

    I just ordered two eGo-T (tank) starter kits from this place: Esmokeyshack.com- Quality Electronic Cigarettes and Eliquid They're going out of business, and have some pretty good prices. I picked them up for $40 each. The eGo is probably over-rated, but it's simple to use, reliable, and is a...

    Silly QOD: What's in the exhaled vapor?

    To other naturally occurring compounds. ;) It's not. It's tar, and ash particulate from the burning plant material, and formaldehyde, and all that other crap that's in cigarettes. As far as vaping around non-vapors, do what makes you happy. I come from a family of rabid non-smokers (Mormons...

    Fear of replacing one addiction with another

    Amen. I have several, and they're all stress relief for me. I putter in the garage. I browse the intertubes. I post on forums. I restore old cars. I build furniture. And while I'm doing all those things, I vape, and all of them keep me from going postal when someone is tapdancing on my last nerve.
