    batteryless ecig? - umm....?

    Oooh... It has "nanobeads found in everyday food products." And 10 of the non-reusable things only cost £4.99. ($7.77 in USD). I'm not knocking it if other folks like it, but no thanks. One of the things I like about vaping is it's CHEAPER.

    i just got back from my doctors office.....(plz read)

    I've been told that any time you get bad news from a doctor, it's worth going and getting a second opinion. This advice came to me a long time ago from my mom, who was (and still is) a registered nurse. I've never heard of the "glycerin -> fat cells" thing before. For the record, I would get...

    New here. Ready to Buy. Just a few questions. KR808

    Cool, I may have to try one out someday. The manual buttons can be a little less than responsive at times, except for the longer-life 380 mAh battery, which also has an orange LED rather than my preferred blue (or anything that doesn't look too much like a lit analog)... Pros and cons to...

    New here. Ready to Buy. Just a few questions. KR808

    I got my KR8 from puresmoker.com (they also call it an "ace"), pretty happy with it and the service. Not to mention they're only like 2 states away so I always get my orders in about 3 business days. They do sell only manual batteries, but I think I'm happier with them after reading about some...

    What Brand Analog Did You Quit???

    I mostly smoked Camels and Camel Lights, toward the end I was smoking Pyramid full flavor (an off brand) because I had no desire to pay $5-$6 a pack -- just under $4 was the cheapest I could do. I quit VERY quickly after getting my KR8, and "forced" myself to smoke a cig a day for a week or so...

    Bad Experience With Classifieds

    I don't know about UPS, but I know if you 1. used the US Postal Service and 2. you and your "trade partner" live in separate states, what this guy is doing can be found to constitute interstate mail fraud, which is investigated by the FBI and, after filing the charge with your state prosecutor's...

    "When are you going to quit that thing?"

    :D That's funny. Love it. My family never knew I smoked (well, they found out and I "quit" five times over the years) because they are militant anti-smoke types, which only got worse after my dad (who I used to smoke with) passed away due to lung cancer. While I was on vacation, I thought...

    Is my battery trying to tell me something?

    Yep, though my KR808 batteries don't seem to fully charge according to the light until about 4 hours is up anyway.

    Is my battery trying to tell me something?

    I don't think it's actually possible to run them completely dead intentionally, unless you figure out a way to hook a dummy load up to them... which I wouldn't recommend.

    Is my battery trying to tell me something?

    Ha, sorry about the unnecessary geek speak... to be clear yes, it should be perfectly fine to charge the batteries as often as you need to, and it shouldn't have any negative effects.

    Is my battery trying to tell me something?

    I also have manual KR808 batteries. Every 1500 clicks, the battery light will stay on for a few seconds. This is a "cleaning" function built into the circuitry. I'm a bit of a battery nut, as I have raced r/c cars with my dad growing up and have used NiCd, NiMH, and Li-on and Li-po batteries...

    My first vape at work.

    Well, I'm management in a retail setting, but see above for those caveats that apply to my apparently unique and alien situation ;) I generally treat it like eating or drinking, i.e. don't do it on the floor in front of customers. I was vaping in my office that I share with my boss, but he was...

    My first vape at work.

    I was, admittedly, speaking in sweeping generalizations there... it helps that said enclosed area is under the direct command of the operations manager, who smokes, and the workforce has a majority of smokers (some of whom I am trying to convert...) ;)

    Cigarettes have let me down!

    But how else are they going to sell all that gum, patches, and Chantix? I mean Chantix... it's better to take a pill that has caused users to: commit suicide, experience major, long-lasting psychological problems, and lose the ability to enjoy not just cigarettes, but anything else in their...

    My first vape at work.

    I have been vaping in my office all week and my employees' office next door. We were all waiting to clock out tonight and one of my new gals commented that it didn't stink like a cigarette does. :cool: I am taking a "better to ask forgiveness than permission" stance with my client who almost...

    New guy here, off to a bad start...

    Definitely, good luck man! I can sympathize with the inside selling -- I did that for a few years in College, in home electronics. Running a security department, bouncing, and private investigations is a lot more fun -- if a customer gets nasty with me, I have the option of getting nasty right...

    Question about volume and "dosing"

    Ha, I tried pipe smoking as a replacement... boy did that not ever work! I found myself jonesing for a cig more after the pipe than I was before I smoked it.

    Question about volume and "dosing"

    Another question along these lines, when a juice says "18 mg," how many ml of fluid are they describing? Surely not 18mg per ml?

    Hello fellow vapers!!!

    Welcome aboard blondecrystal! I also lost any desire for an analog after my first evening with my starter kit... something I never thought would happen! The only thing making me keep them around is I didn't order nearly enough (and haven't brought enough juice to work with me today), things I...
