    Nic Reduction

    I hear you on your reluctance to vape until you've got more info (No, you don't say!). I went to from virginia slims to marlboro reds to vaping CashCapp - I think it's safe to say I'm all over the map with what worked/works for me. The one constant through this whole vaping thing is that...

    Newbee here --pls help

    The carts do contain nicotine, but only last so long, and as someone else mentioned, they generally don't seem to be very enjoyable. OK, you're going to go lower on nicotine, for sure - if I were you, I'd go here: Volcano Fine Electronic Cigarette Mini Starter Kit - it's exactly where I'd...

    Newbee here --pls help

    The cone is just a cover for the atomizer, more or less. It helps the appearance, and with "heating" the vapor. Yes, you'll need juice. You've got a good kit picked out, now don't hesitate to go buy juice at Backwoods Brew - and try a juice or two that sounds funky, like the strawberry or...

    Feeling betrayed by a supplier

    I've had it happen too, kushka, on a 5ml bottle, so it was pretty easy to notice.

    Nic Reduction

    I'd been curious about the Qhit when I was thinking of ordering directly from FA, but never followed through one way or another. If you do try it, let us know. I've found it's been helpful to go to different, "fresher" flavors as I've tapered off on the nicotine - the peach and strawberry from...

    Hoe Lee Shhhhh

    Background: I have one son in a fairly expensive college (what college is not, these days, fairly expensive?) and my middle child hopes to attend the same college next year. (We have big plans for the 13yo to go to bartending school. ;)) When I say that I'm working on our budget, it means down...

    Nic Reduction

    I started (as an almost PAD smoker) with no real intentions to cut the nicotine down or out. I'm sure the idea was there, but I was pretty vocal that I'd keep using my eGo as long as I felt like it. But here I am, a bit shy of four months in, and have moved from 30 down to 12. My next...

    Ready to try

    You have no idea how happy I was when I finally realized we'd started saving money. Then all of a sudden - even with what feels like constant BWB juice orders - we were out ahead. Once we got our equipment figured out, it was cake. (Oh, and attys. Never-ending damned attys.) My kids mock me...

    All these threads regarding safety and regulations, and my ranting

    Mark, a lynch mob? Seriously? First you mentioned conspiracy theories (which would imply I guess that people think vendors are trying to harm us?) where no one has put forth any accusation of the sort, and now you've moved onto trying to imply we're attempting to harm someone? Um, if in the...

    Ready to try

    My husband and I smoked two packs a day between us, and in our 3 1/2 months of vaping exclusively we've spent $685 on miscellaneous "stuff" - we have five ego batts of different styles & sizes knocking around here (I'm a HUGE fan of the usb ego batts, as I'm always on the computer or in a car...

    Joye eGo Passthrough. Will the spending ever stop?!

    The charger is a standard mini usb charging cord, so you can use a car cigarette lighter/usb adapter no problem.

    Flavor search fail :(

    I'm sure you've read this by now, but frequently juices need a little time to "steep" to come together. Failing that, you might try hanging out over in the PIF or trade threads, and definitely on the e-liquid reviews area to get a feel for what is getting good press. In the meantime, I can...

    Joye eGo Passthrough. Will the spending ever stop?!

    My spending (except on juice) stopped when I bought my 2nd ego passthrough (it's a backup, I swear you start to think you need backups for your backups!). I LOVE it, it works perfectly, and it a godsend on road trips.

    All these threads regarding safety and regulations, and my ranting

    Not to mention, who says there isn't a safe alternative? Why do this, act as if ex-smokers made one bad choice and therefore all related choices will also be bad? Most of us agree with the harm-reduction stance that nicotine is roughly equivalent to caffeine in terms of risk. And yet, we're...

    Do you vape around your kids?

    LOL, good deal - you'll be very happy. :)

    Do you vape around your kids?

    I'm hitting this point myself - I've eliminated certain juices from my lineup because I'm concerned about exhaling them as well as inhaling them. (Not trying to start That Conversation here, just saying.)

    Do you vape around your kids?

    Goodness, try strawberry or peach from BWB for that road trip. They smell amazing on exhale, and everyone who's walked into my house during the strawberry vaping says something to the effect of "That smells amazing? What are you baking???"

    Ant, lol, but.. We affect by being loud, and continuous, and not letting segments shout us down with hyperbole and 'internet baddass syndrome'. We force a change in the entire industry by refusing to be fangirls/boys to an extent that we've sold our souls. We remember that if the vendors don't...

    Thanks so much for your valuable input. Trust me, I do not think you are arrorant. Let's just vape it all and HOPE/WISH/BELIEVE it's better than the air we breathe. Good plan. Yay, vendors! Kick it, make it super-tasty and make millions!! I've had it. Either act like an adult, or don't...
