    Frustrated!

    Try not to let frustration get the best of you. In general, when you are starting out it is better to err on the side of having your e-liquid too strong. That way your cravings will be less. And go ahead and switch out your cartomizers early if you think they are starting to get low...

    The SEARCH for the PERFECT E-CIG

    I think the Kr8 is the best out there for people who want something simple to use. Refilling really isn't a chore since you don't have to do it often. I used to smoke 2 and a half packs a day and I go through two or three cartomizers a day. I also like the Joye 510 for people starting out...

    Charging a battery first time...

    There are a several things that can cause you to have little vapor. One... if the air around you is very dry, the vapor will evaporate quite quickly and will not be so obvious. Two... if you hold it in for a long time. Of course long is relative. Three... if your liquid has no VG...

    Another Newbie looking for advice!

    I clean it whenever it seems to stop wicking as well at it was. LOL - I know... not an easily quantifiable description. As you use cartridges the liquid has a tendency to dry a bit and can develop a residue that prevents or impedes the flow of the rest of the liquid to the atomizer. Eventually...

    Newbie with burning tongue?

    PG and VG both tend to dry you out. Be sure to drink extra water and use lip balm and moisturizer as needed! ;)

    Think I made a mistake!! :(

    Sure... I have bought bunches of it from Shawn and LiteCigUSA. He carries Dekang from China and Rath from here in the USA. My Freedom Smokes has a wonderful selection and a sample pack option that can be loads of fun. I also pick up English Toffee ECOpure from the good ladies at Cignot. And...

    Think I made a mistake!! :(

    I was a menthol smoker and my biggest mistake thus far was buying a GIANT 50 ml bottle of menthol e-liquid and bunches of other smaller bottles of various menthols when I first started. (Yeah... not really a big mistake since I have ended up using them all!) The reason it was a mistake is that...

    Another Newbie looking for advice!

    You replace the atty when it stops working. Or if it reaches a point where it doesn't produce much vapor even with cleaning. (You will learn more about that here on the forum!) You top off a cartridge by adding a couple to several drops (normally the same flavor) to it to fill it up again...

    Another Newbie looking for advice!

    LOL - I understand that completely! So far I have five different types of PVs - dozens of batteries, a stock pile of atties, bunches of e-liquid, and I'm on a quest to have every flavoring for e-liquid ever produced! :rolleyes:

    Am I doing something wrong?

    Xx-ev0luti0n-xX - did you vape both of them from start to finish? In other words - did you vape them until 'empty?' And never got any vapor? I have several Kr8 batteries and dozens of cartomizers. (Kits and supplies from all kinds of places including Good Prophets!) Some batteries and...

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

    Home made chocolate on a M410 pass-through. It hasn't been perfected yet, but beats any commercial chocolate I have ever tried. :)

    Newbie with burning tongue?

    VG is based on Vegetable Glycerin. PG is based on Propylene Glycol. They are both fine bases. They have slightly different qualities. Some people are sensitive to one or the other. Most e-liquids are PG based. Many have some of each. (When you see the little dotted line under a word on the...

    Question about volume and "dosing"

    You will need to measure your drops to have any degree of accuracy. When you have an empty bottle - fill with water. Count the number of drops to fill a 1 ml container. It won't be exact because water and e-liquid have different viscosity. Some estimate that it takes 25 drops per ml. I find...

    Charging a battery first time...

    Most batteries come almost fully charged! As long as the charger light is green you should be ready to go. It takes a bit of time to break in an M4xx atty. Some find it will take a full day. Good Luck!!! :)

    Newbie with burning tongue?

    Those aren't rare issues when one begins vaping. Be sure to drink LOTS of water to keep yourself hydrated. And be patient with yourself as you develop your technique. Sometimes we use different muscles or overuse muscles as we vape in the beginning because we are so conscious of how we...

    hello new member needs advice

    The choice of PV is complicated. Particularly for a new user! My advice is to pick something you think you would like and just buy it. Chances are you will decide you want to try other models in time. Don't let that stress you. Most of us don't have a single perfect PV for us. My advice...

    water

    Distilled water has all the minerals and whatnot removed. It tastes flat to most people - not good for drinking. It is normally easily found in drug stores. :)
