    "Heads up" Avoid USPS for a bit.

    I just received my parcel from USPS today. It left California February 8. The funny thing is the online tracker says it's still in the US where it has been bouncing from different facilities.

    My First International Vape Mail.

    I just received my first order from the US. They only ship via USPS so I had no choice of carrier. I ordered the Big Dripper V2 from Grand Vapor Station. It cost $65 and shipping was $35. USPS ships here and passed over to Phlippine Post which passes thru the greedy customs guys here. They...

    How many of you would smoke flavored cigs (cereal, fruit, pie, custard, etc) if you still smoked?

    If I find a tobacco flavored juice that's close to the real thing I'm afraid I might shift back to the real ones in search of the real flavor. I now find happiness in the sweet stuff so if I start to look for the real flavor of that, I can just eat the real thing.

    Warning: My Aspire Atlantis coil just FELL APART while I was vaping, and particles got lodged in my throat.

    I change my atlantis coils once a week. When I'm done with a coil I always pull out what's inside and it never looks that bad. Very little browning on the cotton. I vape 60 VG 40 PG ratio. My atlantis sits on a VS rdna 40 and I vape it at 35 watts.

    I guess but that doesn't mean it has to stay that way. Things can change.

    I see your point there too. Until the DNA 40 and the Atlantis came out, everything I bought came from my country and only because there was nothing else like it manufactured here.

    As more manufacturers get into innovating, they will soon be smart enough to know that power easy to achieve and not enough to get ahead in the game.

    It's nice to see that some Chinese companies are starting to innovate and create their own products. It may come to a point where the power war will turn in to a price war. It could lead to more accessible devices price wise. Can you imagine if all these cloners start innovating and authentic...

    I like this turn of events. Maybe this will start a bandwagon of suits that will in turn lessen the importation and selling of clones. Authentic makers will keep on innovating and maybe clone makers will start innovating too and start selling their own designs. Wishful thinking....

    Yes Peter. My very first mod and now many mods later, it's still my daily vape.

    Warning: My Aspire Atlantis coil just FELL APART while I was vaping, and particles got lodged in my throat.

    Last month I bought a box of atlantis coils. After reading this thread I decided to check for authenticity on the aspire website. Like I feared they were not authentic. Now I have to go back to the vape shop and complain. The box looked pretty real to me and identical to my first box of...

    I love this post!!

    B&M rant!

    I agree with klutzyleo. The staff should be properly trained by the owner specially about battery safety. Then again you as the user should also do your research before buying a product because in the end it will be the user who will suffer if the mod explodes.

    What don't you like about vaping?

    Hot spots and the need to dry fire every so often.

    Since you vape, would you lounge around with smokers?

    Out of curiousity, when you guys hang with smokers, Do you ever get tempted to take a puff? Sometimes when I am tipsy I want to try but thankfully my friends stop me. I'm sorry if this is a bit off topic.

    Weight Gain or Loss

    I gained 30 pounds since I started vaping. I vape 50/50 I have been vaping for I think a little more than 6 months. I am not a dual vaper. Haven't touched cigarettes since I started vaping.

    Since you vape, would you lounge around with smokers?

    I don't like the smell of analogs anymore but since my wife still smokes I kind of have to live with it. A lot of my friends smoke specially while drinking so I have to live with that too. I will not alienate my wife or my friends because of smell so yes I hang around with them. Another thing...
