    e-PARD question

    Just got my e-PARD in the mail, and I'm loving it. A great cigalike: lots of nice, warm vapor, wonderful PCC, small and pretty, charges lightening-fast, the draw is just as I like it, etc. Exactly what I wanted right now. My only critique is that there should have been two batts and a spare...

    Back again. :)

    Hi, folks, Just a quick note: I'm back in the land of the living. 'Been a long trip. :D To make a long story short: cancer gone (knock on wood), new puppy growing like a weed (7 mnths old Shiloh Shepherd), and I missed y'all terribly. Getting back into vaping. Just woke up one day and...

    Kicking the Bolt (or Bolting the Kick?) :D

    Hey, guys, need advice: I got two Kicks, and I want to use'em. I've been ogling the anodized Bolts for a bit, and I'm thinking that's a good candidate for a Kick, don't you think? I'm very under-knowlegeable about batteries, though. Will AW IMR 18490 (got several of those lying around) with...

    Stardust-type tips and regular tips

    OK, Stardust-type tips are proliferating. They are taking over. It's an invasion. They are very practical and serviceable, and now we even have a few colors an'all. A definite step in the right direction. But. Am I the only one who wishes she could use her own fancy tips in the Stardusts...

    Tickets

    Hi, everyone, I just wanted to mention that we have been extremely busy lately with lots of orders, and lots of new products coming out, so there may be a slight delay in addressing new tickets. I am handling the system now and forwarding the critical tickets to Danno and Chris. They will get...

    Reviewing and Taste Buds

    I hope this is not too terribly off-topic here, but this is addressed specifically to reviewers, so this seemed like the place... I know all of you guys spend a lot of time testing different juices, which, perforce, involves a lot of vaping and comparing and taking a hit here and there to...

    Tidy happenings

    OK, so this little BC has great flavor, great wicking, is put together in an interesting way: the wicks are pointing up (actually, I'm not even sure there are any wick - all I see is holes with some kind of stuff in them). And the power range for it is nothing less than spectacular. A couple...

    E-cig Ban in NYS???

    I apologize if this is woefully off topic here, but this place is my vaping family, so... Some misinformed and misdirected would-be do-gooder who apparently cares more about political correctness than real people is proposing a bill that would ban all sales of e-cig hardware in New York State...

    Classic CountRY4 by Mountain Oak Vapors

    Overview: For those who don’t know, to quote Billherbst, who started the “The Really Big RY4 Roundup” thread : “RY4 (short for Ruyan #4) is a very popular eliquid that incorporates three basic component flavors: a tobacco base (usually mild and understated, but occasionally stronger...

    Gooey Butter Cake from Altcig

    This is just a quicky review - I pulled out this juice in my weekly "juice review" and figured I'd mention it. Basically, if you take their Pudding Cake and add butter to it, you'll have this juice. I have never had this dessert, so I can't compare flavors. For those who don't know, Pudding...

    Merchandize Idea

    OK, Chris and Dan, please don't kill me - I know you are quite busy as it is, but I had this thought... There are all kinds of artisans selling all kinds of one-of-a-kind stuff for vaping - I mean accessories, not primary equipment. And, mostly, these folks can't keep up with the demand. This...

    Creme Brule by Highbrow Vapor

    Overview: I have been on a quest for a good Crème Brule vape for a long time. This one almost makes it for me, and I’m sure it would be perfect for many. This blend is smooth and sophisticated. All three components of a good Crème Brule are present: creamy custard, caramelized sugar, and...

    Organic Lemon Rose Water from Virgin Vapor

    Well, this is a pretty long review, but I set myself a task of making it as objective as possible - don't know how well it works, but I tried. :D General: Name: Organic Lemon Rose Water Vendor: Virgin Vapor Link: Organic Lemon Rose Water E-liquid | Virgin Vapor | Electronic Cigarette...

    Fixing cracks on old Stardusts

    Hey, guys, My horde of Stardusts is cracking up on me. Most of them were ordered at about the same time, and so now they are wearing out, I guess - mind you, most of these are a couple of months old or more, and all of them are used every day. I'm not at all complaining, I got good service...

    Ultrasonic cleaning and cracking?

    So, I bought myself an ultrasonic cleaner, and I've been using it on my Stardusts. With vinegar. Ummm, to be very honest, I'm not really noticing the difference between doing that and simply soaking in alcohol or peroxide... But my question is this: do you think that ultrasonic cleaning may...

    Ahlusion - Orange Nocturne

    All Ahlusion juices I have tried so far are a bit unusual - in a good way. These folks have a signature way of putting flavors together and creating something quite distinguished and uniquely harmonious. This juice, however, is a bit more unusual than most, and I would almost say not for the...

    Charging batteries in a bag

    As per several recommendations, I got myself a lipo-safe bag for charging my batteries (AW IMR 18490 on a Tenergy charger - can't afford a PILA just now). When I tried it, I noticed that the insides of the bag started heating up quickly - charger, batteries, etc. Of course the charger does...

    Ahlusion - Teas and More

    I was going over my “stash” recently, and reading over this forum (especially the Frankster thread, LOL), and realized that I should probably contribute. Before I get into the review, a couple of words about my preferences: My philosophy on e-juice is that it should be its own art-form...

    Cleaning the Clearos

    OK, so I have my "horde" of Stardusts sitting in a ultrasonic jewelry cleaner (half water half vinegar) - we'll see how it will work, it's my first time with this doohickey. And it reminded me: We've been talking on one of the threads about getting all the reasonable methods of cleaning for...

    Flavor Musings

    Kinda of a sideways topic, but considering that Bad had once declared that he'll get rid of stuffed cartos if it's the last thing he does, I thought it was just a tad appropriate. I've only used your run-of-the-mill Boges a few times, and all those have been with "naturally macerated" tobacco...
