    Startup Costs

    YEAH? I didn't know about a new version til your post! I'll have to check into it. Like some of the folks above, I keep a running total of expenses below my sig...and it includes two starter kits I gave to friends, plus my own ego batts, 3 ego twists and a Lavatube (6 Vivi Nova and many, many...

    Batteries whining/hissing when charging

    Jeezzz...talk about a timely thread. I just changed batts in my Lavatube, and for the last 30 minutes I've been hearing a 'squealing hum'. Thanks to this thread, I just realized my AW IMR 18650 3.7V 1600 mAh battery is the culprit. As mentioned above, I'm using a Trustfire TR-001 charger...

    Smoothest vape for a non cigarette smoker?

    I remember when I first investigated 'smoking'. I was GOING to 'do it' regardless of ANYONE's preconceived judgement...and that's what I did. I started with Marlboro 100's (cow killers). For the first year, a pack would last me about a week. In the second year, that all changed. :blink: Since...

    Heart Burn!!!!

    Funny! I learned the baking soda trick when I was growing up in Atlanta...cuz that's all we had back in the 50's! Glad to know it's common knowledge! :) (I much prefer Tums...but even more, I prefer NO HEARTBURN at all! ;))

    Heart Burn!!!!

    Come to think of it, I used to eat Tums EX like candy...but haven't had 'the need' in many, MANY months! :blink: The best side-effect I'm aware of is that 4 months after I began vaping, I quit snoring like a chainsaw (according to the folks who would know). :D

    Reducing nicotine level - voluntary or involuntary?

    THANKS jimrug1! I actually started vaping in 2009, but continued to smoke until I upgraded my equipment (Ego batts with fluxomizers and Stardust clearos...plus a VV Lavatube) and raised my nic level to 24mg. Currently I'm vaping 6mg mostly, but sometimes raise it to 12mg. I vape 6mg more...

    How long until I get my tastebuds back?

    Ya made me LOL! :D I also smoked for 32 years, and remember when my ability to 'taste' returned. For me, it took about 4 months, and I posted about it HERE (if you'd like to read it). If'n you're like ME, your 'taster' will get noticeably better somewhere between 4 and 6 months. :) (Today is...

    Reducing nicotine level - voluntary or involuntary?

    Yup, I agree with evahbody above! From 24mg, after 3 or 4 months, my body started demanding that I cut the nic, because I was unable to sleep at night. Lower nic solved that problem. Today is my ONE YEAR anniversary analog FREE, and I'm down to 6mg (sometimes higher). For me, the reduction was...

    Crazy places your e-cig has turned up?

    Fun thread! I don't know where I lost my ego twist (with Stardust clearo), but I realized it was 'MIA' when my doggie brought it to me. :blink:

    ONE YEAR AGO TODAY...I QUIT SMOKING FOREVER!!! YAY!!! :toast: Although I first attempted vaping December 19, 2009, I was unable to truly make the switch until I ordered better hardware (Ego-T - Type A and B attys) and stronger eLiquid (from 18mg to 24mg). That combo arrived in my mailbox ONE...

    Sucralose (splenda) and Ejuice - Vendors who do not use

    Uhmmmmmm...to be more accurate, Sucralose IS sold under the brand name of Splenda. 'SUCROSE' (sugar) is not Splenda, but Splenda is Sucralose (not a sugar, but a chemically created additive).
