    what streangth nicotine are you vaping?

    In the morning I fill a cart with 20mg to go with my morning coffee and to get me up to about mid morning, in the afternoon I switch over to 12mg and use that for the rest of the day and into the evening.

    Cant get VG cut liquid to wick

    Hey there - I cut my liquid mostly with this ratio, and have great success. 50% 24mg e-liquid, 15-20% flavoring (flavors depending), 30-35% VG. That makes my usual 12mg liquid. I don't thin my VG at all. My liquid is a fair bit more viscous due to the VG. It's possible that your cart filler...

    Blank carts question

    The closest material that I have found to match the filler in blank carts is high loft polyester quilters batting. It is not as "firm" as the stock filler, but it wicks just as well. I have found for my penstyle atty's this filler works best. If you have the time to read through this post, it...

    Time for a review of the rules?

    Some great points John. I can't even count on all my fingers and toes multiplied by 10 or even 20 how many people here on ECF who were able to quit smoking completely on their first day of vaping. Albeit, it's hit or miss across the board with some people being able to quickly or rather...

    Wow, 510 batteries don't last long! Is that right?

    Key word there being "almost". Did you check the manufacturers website? Mini E-Cigarette I see no reference to mAh listed on this page, perhaps I am missing another section where it is listed, but this is what I am talking about in my post.

    Wow, 510 batteries don't last long! Is that right?

    That's exactly right trog. It's quite interesting that a rechargable battery supplier/manufacturer (energizer, radio shack, etc) will be very clear as to what the capacity of the battery cell is in mAh. For some reason, this information a bit harder to find on e-cig batteries. It's really the...

    Intentionally Flooding a New Atty

    Make sure the atomizer is moist, if it's dry you're going to have an unpleasant experience!

    Can the e-liquid go through latex gloves???

    Just a side note, drug delivery systems that use the skin to absorb the drug and deliver it to the body (i.e. nicotine patch) are far slower than through the mucous membranes or the lungs. 36mg/ml is fairly potent, that's about 2 drops to equal 1 cigarette's worth of delivered nicotine (~1mg)...

    REALLY QUICK QUESTION about 801 attys

    As was mentioned about the difference in bridge height in the 801 atty's. You want to try and get the carts designed for those particular atty's. Finding out exactly who makes what atty can be a challenge at times. Ask your supplier for the details so you get the right parts. You can also do...

    VG

    This has been discussed quite a few times on the forum. According to a member of ECF who is also a pharmacist, he has stated that Humco is the leading manufacturer of Glycerin, and it is vegetable based. You can read his post here...

    Damn it ={

    Not alone one bit! I eyeball a lot of my stuff when I'm testing out a mixture. When I feel like I have a ballpark idea, then I refine it with the precision tools :) It's really all part of the fun with flavors.

    Draw Getting Tough

    I have been blowing out the atty at the end of the day, then re-priming the bridge with 3-4 drops of liquid, putting the mouthpiece (minus the cart) back onto the atty and letting it sit overnight. In the morning I will give it 2 drops (or a fresh cart, if I'm not dripping) then begin my day...

    Thanks! We are looking into working with a UK manufacturer to carry a 36mg VG based liquid. As for our PG based liquid, we only have access to 24mg from Dekang due to Chinese restrictions. Without MSDS sheets to back up the liquid, we won't supply that to our customers as we have no idea of...

    Will the nic, knock my socks off?

    35mg is the content per ml of liquid. 1 cigarette is roughly 1mg of nicotine. You can do the math, so I would say just be careful. I have never tried anything over 25mg. Right now I use Dekang juice at 24mg, thats about as high as you can get from them now a days. My personal...

    Sooooo disappointed!!!

    Hi Cathy - There are so many factors, and it seems like there are a few issues that you're running into. What type of atty and cart are you using? Is it the stock filler? The filler being up into the cart 1/4 inch seems like a lot. It could be that the filler is not touching the...

    Two general questions

    Cheesecake, Marshmellow, Pralines and Cream are probably my 3 favorite Lorann's. Marshmellow does well as a "sweetener" with most flavors. Here's a link in the DIY section where a lot of people have posted their recipes - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/10224-recipes-only.html

    Two general questions

    I have had best luck with the cart filler touching the bridge, but not pressing it into the cart much, if at all. As for Lorann flavors, some are stronger than others. I generally keep mine in the 10-15% range, some of the more subtle flavors do well in the 20-25% range (i.e. marshmellow)...

    Atomizer/cartride filler, do they touch?

    Just an interesting tid bit - I recently started using some TW atty's in my JS with Kissbox factory carts. It seems to me that the bridge on the TW penstyle atty does not put an indentation in my Kissbox cart at all, but the wicking is phenominal. I haven't taken any precise measurements...

    Hi brialeeanna20 - We appreciate your question. To answer your question, yes, we came up with the idea for our kit from our own shopping experiences. It is part of the concept behind our store. When we first began our journey into the world of personal vaporizers the staggering cost of...

    This Surprised Me!!

    Great article. This doesn't suprise me coming from Alabama, those folks down there are pretty free thinkers and don't "follow the herd" so-to-speak. I grew up in Georgia, and there is a similar mentality there as well. We really just need more of this sort of publicity to possibly shed...
