    Prodigy v3.1 issue wont turn on!

    It sounds to me like you popped your atomizer. From my experience, atties suffer 2 types of death: old age, where performance gradually deteriorates to unacceptable levels, and sudden death, where they pop and go from awesome performance to stone cold dead with no warning. A multimeter is about...

    How do you know your juice isn't full of chemicals?

    I think any liquid with actual oil in it is going to kill your atomizer before you can vape enough of it to harm your lungs. But I can't get past the name. "Tobacco Tar Oil"?!? Seriously? The poor name choice alone would be enough to cause me to look elsewhere.

    Problem with Prodigy 3.1 and Cartos

    The Prodigy V3 is either a 6v (with 2 RCR123a LiFePO4s) or 3.7v (with 1 17670). I've had one for almost a year now, and it's hands-down my favorite device. Unless I read your original post wrong, the problem you're having with the Boges is that they're Low Resistance and you're running them at...

    Best juice vendor you have tried

    My list is very short: Johnson Creek. I'm lucky to have settled on them fairly early on in my vaping life. I'll occasionally try other vendors if they have something new or something that might sound good. But I always come back to JC. Edit: And I completely missed the point of the thread...

    So the FDA Banned Flavored cigarettes- YES or Perhaps Not So Fast

    I believe so. Many referred to it at the time as the Philip Morris Protection Act.

    CASAA: Smoking ordinance also banning e-cigarettes for Macon vetoed

    I totally get that, Kristin. Believe me; I get it from first-hand experience. When I got my sense of smell back after making the total switch, I admit I became one of those "ex-smoking ninnies". That was a problem because I live with a smoker and also have several other family members and dear...

    Travel and Vaping E-cigs to be banned on all flights this Spring

    The vapor will set off the "smoke" detector in an airplane lavatory if blown directly towards it. I don't know much about smoke detector technology but understand that if anything interrupts a light beam inside the device (smoke or vapor), the alarm will sound. Several people on the ECF have...

    Hey, TxTrouble. I'd like to join the group as well. :)

    Travel and Vaping E-cigs to be banned on all flights this Spring

    But all of the above is not to say that I agree with the rule in the least and that we shouldn't lobby to get it changed.

    Travel and Vaping E-cigs to be banned on all flights this Spring

    Or, perhaps it's a better idea to not push it. As soon as they realize that people can stealth vape at their seats or in the lavs, the only way to totally prevent it will be to prohibit having them in your possession period. And, believe me, the government will go that route rather than throw...

    FDA to regulate e-cig as tobacco

    I wish the new "Like" feature would let me "Like" that a few more times. :thumbs:

    FDA to regulate e-cig as tobacco

    I'm quite convinced now that I have been transported to some sort of weird alternate universe, where people on this forum actually wanted the FDA to win this case. Because in the universe I was in on Monday morning, we wanted them to concede and not appeal to the Supreme Court. :confused:

    FDA to regulate e-cig as tobacco

    So let me get this straight. The vaping community has been following and dissecting every nuance of this court case for 2 years, hoping against hope that the FDA would lose or concede and SE/NJoy would prevail. That finally happens. We actually get what many of us have been fervently wishing for...

    How many times do you reuse your cartomizers?

    I use one per week. I start fresh on Monday and toss it the following Sunday. On Sunday evening, I prefill a new one for the next morning. By the time Sunday rolls around, its performance has degraded somewhat. But it's still usable. However, I use it only during the day while I'm at the...

    FDA to regulate e-cig as tobacco

    I just need to point out that regular cigarettes also have added flavors. The particular flavorings would most likely vary for each brand's own recipe. It's one of the main ways the brands can differentiate themselves from each other. For example, it's why a Marlboro tastes different from a...

    San Francisco considers banning e-cigarettes

    Um, I'm 99% sure Kempton was doing a facepalm about that statement because it was originally stated by someone else earlier in the thread.

    San Francisco considers banning e-cigarettes

    Perhaps it is more accurate to state that they leave no lingering smell like cigarette smoke. But I agree that we cannot use the argument that they have no smell period. Smell is very subjective, and some liquids definitely emit an odor while they are being vaped. Some have pleasant smells...

    A couple carto questions

    You should definitely wipe down your threads. Gunk increases the resistance and, therefore, lowers the performance. You could also try blowing them out to clear out any old juice and then refilling. Also, can you see light through the center hole? If not, blow it out some more until you can...

    Tennessee Call to Action!

    In a word, yes. The bill approved today only restricts the sale of e-cigs to minors. The bill is still moving through various committees, and folks (including the good people from PureSmoker.com) are staying on top of it to make sure that the onerous sections removed today aren't reintroduced.
