    how many times have you sucked on the battery end?

    You all make it sound like sucking on the battery is 'wrong'. I like the slight charge I get.

    If there is a ban?

    The talk about the 'sin' tax reminds me of a skit from "Not the 9 o'clock News" (a British comedy group from the 1970s). The Prime Minister is speaking about how unpopular the taxes on cigarettes and booze are with voters. Therefore, said the Prime Minister, those taxes are being rescinded and...

    If there is a ban?

    I agree that a ban is doubtful. True, the tobacco industry and pharmaceutical lobbys are pretty powerful, but so is the insurance industry, as well as the power of the people. The 'power' of the tobacco industry has been on a swift decline for well over a decade (indeed, I guess several...

    My experience in just 2 1/2 days:

    Good for you! I have smoked for 40 years. Last November 2008 I saw my brother-in-law die of lung cancer (he had smoked, stopped for 15 years, then restarted one year before his death). He was 57 (I am 53, soon 54). Even his death did not stop me from smoking. I did 'cut down'. I was...

    Red Dragon feedback? I searched!

    I will say again: I find the Red Dragon e-cigarettes to be excellent. I have not had any problem with them. I have not really ‘tested’ the battery, since I stick the battery into the charger every night at bedtime. The cartridges cost $11.95 for four (use the code and it is 5 percent off)...

    Red Dragon feedback? I searched!

    I have been using the Red Dragon for almost a month. It is my 'go to' electronic cigarette when I want good smoke. I also have a Njoy Npro and a DSE 801. I was so impressed with the Red Dragon that I bought one for my brother-in-law, a very heavy smoker. He gets an amazing amount of vaping...

    RN4081/Npro

    So you actually drip the fluid directly onto the heating element? How much? How many puffs do you get?

    RN4081/Npro

    The Njoy Npro was my first electronic cigarette and still my 'work horse'. I recently went to ruyandirect.com (the Chinese company) and purchased four (4) RN 4081 atomizers for $5.50 each; they worked perfectly with the Npro. Indeed, so well I went ahead and ordered 4 more today. I also use a...

    E-Cig Success Rate?

    I have had maybe two packs of cigarettes in the past 30 days (when I began using the electronic cigarettes). So, instead of 30 packs at $6.00 = $180.00, I have had $12.00 worth; of course, I also have spent around $250.00 on electronic cigarette supplies (different brands, juice, etc) but I...

    China's ultimatum: smoke or be fined

    I was in China last November 2008. I was the only smoker in our group. Our guide told me that the central government was trying to get people off cigarettes, and that many hotels and restaurants were going 'non smoking' as part of the effort. Indeed, in every hotel we stayed at I had to go...

    Anyone Planning To Place An Order On Monday?

    I placed my order with Ruyandirect on April 28th, and it cleared Customs May 3rd. Mine was a small order (cartridges and some atomizers). Now we await usps.

    My essay on e-cigs

    Introduction to Electronic Cigarettes (note: I wrote this for the Disney Message Board, under legalsea; I decided to cut and paste here, so ignore my opening statement; on Disney I wrote for people utterly ignorant of e-cigs; here, of course, the opposite is true; I would like to know of any...

    Johnson Creek Smoke Juice: New & Improved - Comment, anyone?

    Ah! Did you order the 'soap flavored' e juice? I like the 'Dial' flavor best, myself, although some prefer the Irish Spring flavor.

    Drininkin' and vapein'

    I tend to smoke lightly during the day, but if I have adult beverages (such as Coke and Vodka, nutritious as well as delicious) I tend to smoke like a fiend. Turns out, I enjoy the electronic cigarettes just as much as the analog when drinking. Indeed, I am not allowed to smoke in the house...

    refill NJOY

    I also juice up my used Npro cartridges. Mind, I believe that doing so voids the warranty with Njoy (especially if you tell them you are doing it). Just one or two drops 'carefully aimed' (as the other poster said) does it.

    Johnson Creek Smoke Juice

    My taste buds are so wacked out that I would never, ever, notice such a thing. I do use the dropper as the top for the little bottles: indeed, I thought that was what they were for: open a bottle, toss the little cap, and use the stopper as the new cap. I did keep the little caps (I KEEP...

    No longer out of the woods

    I still smoke one or two 'real' cigarettes per day, as I get used to the electronic version. I know it will not be instant in breaking the real cigarette habit. However, I know that this path will eventually lead to being a non-smoker.

    Today makes 1 month without cigarettes!!!

    Congratulations! I have been smoking for 40 years (since age 13). True, there were periods in which I 'quit' (the longest 6 months), but otherwise steady smoking a pack a day (or, at times, more). Last November 2008 I watched my brother-in-law die of lung cancer (he had smoked for decades...

    vaping outside

    Well, a bit. When I drive I discovered I get a better 'hit' if the windows are up. I recently drove 600 miles and used the e-smokes all the way, but if the windows were open (the truck had no AC and it was 90 degrees) I felt I did not get much of a 'hit'. Closing the windows (and sweating)...
