    Is taste really subjective?

    To a very high degree, yes... flavor and tastes are subjective and there's probably not a lot any two people at random will agree on. I know that I like "x" and my buddy does not; I know that "y" tastes like something else but my buddy thinks the flavor is accurate; we both agree that "z"...

    Hey, Saratogan... do you remember those 120mm cigarettes that were called "Saratoga"? Do they still market them?? I think I may have smoked a pack or three of the menthols. They were about average.

    Do you like the LED on Battery?

    Might be cool to have a kaleidoscoping light show on a mini-scale, like those things that used to be sold with aluminum X-mas trees in the 1950's. Do you think that might draw too much attention?

    Is vaping addictive?

    Of my non smoker friends, I can't imagine any of them taking up vaping for the pleasure of it. I would say that it's not vaping that has snared you, but the drug (nicotine) in your vape. You say you used to smoke some 25-years ago. You must've found it pleasurable then? Once experienced and...

    Hi LittleLuLu; am thrilled to add you as a Friend! I see that we're not only close in age, but we have another thing in common... Missouri. Now, I'm California born and raised but my dad (my paternal family line) hail from SEMO. OTOH, my mom (maternal family line) came from along the KS border...

    Do you like the LED on Battery?

    I like blue lights at night and can get behind the purple! I do have a daft question, though; is it the light behind the end of the VK that has the color, or is it the cap itself? I've never examined it in detail. Oh, I like your new avatar, Taryn!

    Should ALL polls be stuck in this section

    I'm happy you've seen the light of reason. Though I'm new to this board, it does seem well organized and tidy having all the polls grouped together in an easy to find area. It seems to me that if there are any that appeals and you are interested in pursuing the subject, you could subscribe to...

    The Official "Post what you're Vaping" Thread!

    Mostly the V4L "Kant" flavor in 11, 18 and 24mg cartomizers. I switch to one of various menthols on occasion for variety. I'll be experimenting soon by refilling some menthol, coffee and chocolate carts with 555. All this in my first and only e-cig, the Vapor King from V4L. As time goes by I...

    Ok, what were your parents doing on or about April 10, 19XX?

    I think my folks might have been anticipating my imminent arrival! My mom may have even been in labor that day.

    Whats your new years resolution?

    Ditto to the analog-free! May another analog never spend a moment on these lips!

    Burned pass-through

    That's frightening! I wonder if I should be concerned whilst it is attached to my mouth? I tend to keep it there, like a Turkish water pipe, while I'm working at the PC.

    Do you like the LED on Battery?

    I once thought I'd prefer an orange LED to simulate an analog, but am now happy that VK has the blue LED. I can take it or leave it. If any changes, then a tiny LED to indicate battery status would be adequate.

    Custom VK Sampler Packs

    I could get behind that! And then offer for trade ones that I'm definitely NOT interested in trying... though I'd try nearly everything once and leave it open to being surprised. OTOH, maybe French Pipe could be improved by the addition of one or more other flavors?

    I am a vapoholic ...

    My name is ed and I am a vapeholic. Vaping a lot but I still manage to sleep like the dead! Never woke up to have a smoke break when I used analogs. I only experienced vivid nightmares (in cinemascope) when using the patch. As nicotine is a stimulant, ymmv.

    Custom VK Sampler Packs

    Vapor King Cartomizers, Customer Choice... any five flavors! What are the chances and feasibility of putting together one of those? Of course it would depend upon availability of particular flavors. Myself, I'd love to order the sampler for tobacco but I know I would NOT want "French Pipe"...

    E-Cigs are really looked down upon by recent quitters.

    My dad quit smoking, cold turkey... and it worked for him. I think that guys from that era, and people in general, had a lot of guts and integrity and a lot of fortitude that I just don't have. I tried the gum and the patch but they did not work. I've also tried quitting without any aides and...

    Worst flavored juice you've ever vaped?

    "The best description I can give is it was like someone took 10 day old used socks and underwear, stuffed them in some road kill, let it sit for a week, boilded it, strained it, and bottled it. It smelled like a combination of rotting meat and some one who has not showered in weeks, and it...

    COPD, The E-Cig and Me

    I haven't been diagnosed with COPD, but as a nurse by profession I've seen my share. I can say that before I quit smoking my wheezing at night sounded like a basket of kittens. Two weeks into vaping and not smoking, that's gone and I'm feeling healthier overall. Good on you, LittleLuLu! It...

    What do you all think about the EastMall HV pv they got?

    Doubles as a sex toy? I don't understand how you arrived at that! Certainly the ads rely very heavily on the sexually suggestive tone with an Asiatic tart, but I didn't see a vibrating french tickler attachment even on offer. Now, that would be innovation!:w00t:
