    Ridiculous article calling E-Cigs a "Scam"!?!

    There are two types of liquid nic available today -- that which is for human consumption, and that which isn't. What type do they use in the patches, gums, and lozenges? I usually vape tastyvapor's liquids. I have no affiliation with them other than consumption, I will forward your question to...

    Ridiculous article calling E-Cigs a "Scam"!?!

    It's the hyperbole, mostly. "More addictive than crack?" I highly doubt that the author had ever had to attempt to quit smoking tobacco. They are also NOT "easier to buy online than textbooks." They are AS easy, assuming you have a credit card -- which most persons under the age of 18 do not...

    Like drinking from a firehose...

    +1 for Tastyvapor. I would recommend any new user order several liquids in any flavors that sound appealing, in multiple strengths. To add to the previous statements on the topic, I smoked just under one PAD, and I had to start at 24 mg for a "comfort zone," and was still smoking one or two...

    Feeling in the minority re: cartos

    I prefer dripping a 901 with delrin tip, but if I'm at work or driving or out for any extended period of time (like the golf course or a movie) I take cartos. And I refill them DOZENS of times, only disposing them when they start getting too weak to vape well. It's important to keep cartos good...

    Need a small switch for my mod. Reccomendations?

    I used switches from radio shack in my 18650 mod. If the problem is the buttons accidentally getting depressed, try adding a SPST toggle switch that disables the device when in the off position.

    Just a question for former heavy smokers

    Yeah, I remember on one night when I was about 18 or 19 in college being extremely bummed out about getting dumped by the girl I was seeing. As soon as I got off the phone with her, I went outside, sat under a tree, and chain-smoked almost an entire pack of Lucky Strike non-filters. Funny how I...

    Just a question for former heavy smokers

    I would occasionally do 2-2.5 PAD in college, especially on nights I worked the door at the bar or was drinking at the bar. It's a lot easier to do while drinking a fair bit.

    Need Help !! first time with E-cigs

    It sounds like you have a pretty good handle on things, and no e-cig is going to feel/look "exactly" like an analog, though the 510 and KR808-D1 are the two models that come closest. As for the question of what tobacco flavor is closest to the taste of a real cig, I have to say that Vapor 4...

    Seeking highest quality KR-808D Batteries

    I haven't tried V4L's batteries, but the Puresmoker "Ace" KR8 manuals and Litecig's manuals are of similar quality. I finally built a box with a big 18650 battery to hook my cartos and 901 attys onto. I'm not too big on the KR8 buttons and short battery life.

    Dripping vs. Carts/Cartos.

    I will drip when sitting at home, using a delrin drip tip on a 901 atty. All other times, it's cartos (KR8). I've tried standard carts, don't hold enough juice and prone to messiness (even with PTB mod and straw mod). I haven't tried any of the blue foam mods or ZFM, too much work for my tastes...

    Saying Hi, Asking for advice

    Yes, you can get 510 cartomizers, which will make the 510 a two-piece model. I haven't used a 510, but last night I saw that madvapes.com has 510 cartomizer starter kits on sale right now. Looked like a pretty good deal, I almost broke down and bought one to try out. With a KR8, from V4L or...

    Saying Hi, Asking for advice

    +1 on the recommendation of the KR8, that's what I started with too. For a taste as close as possible to the "real deal," I would now have to recommend V4L's Parliament flavor. They sent me a sample in 18mg with my carto order, and I would have really liked this when I was starting out. Now, it...

    Um...Everywhere?

    Ummm... You have heard that if you hold it in for several seconds, your exhale will emit little-to-no visible vapor, right?

    Um...Everywhere?

    Next time I go see a movie, I'll be sure to ask the manager if they mind if I whip out my P.E.N.I.S. in their theater. It would be a lot easier than "stealthing" it, which is what I usually do. Popcorn tubs/bags help when I'm trying to be sneaky.

    Best box mod???

    The only one I've tried is my home-made one, which takes a 18650 battery and hooks up to 901 attys or KR8 cartos. Delivers 3.7 volts all day and all night. So far it's my favorite. :)

    The Chuck?

    The Chuck is a battery mod, I have never used one but IIRC I think it has a 510 connector. Since it's (primarily) a 3.7v device you may consider low resistance 510 atomizers for a "simulated" 5v vape. It also takes a pair of 3v batteries instead, that will be more pleasant (or, not burn out the...
