    I've been away for quite some time now. (About eight months) Need an update!

    When I left the scene the Joye eGo was more or less the best out there, at least in performance per dollar. I'm wondering what kind of wonderful things have happened in the world of e-cigs since I left. I have been on and off analogs for most of this eight month period. I finally pulled out...

    DIY flavors: A study of successes and failures in DIY flavor.

    So, I haven't been around for quite awhile now, but I haven't abandoned my eGo or my passion for DIY. I've been busy with around-the-house, or at-your-local-convenience-store flavoring experiments. Here are my findings on a few of them. Ice drops- Some of you may have seen the small ~3ml...

    Today= one month off analog cigarettes!

    I'm very proud of myself and I have also started to reduce my nicotine levels for vaping. I started with 24mg, went up to 36 for a week or so, and I've reduced back to 24 soon after that, I'm now at 18mg with no cravings.

    Some e-liquids vape significantly faster than others?

    I've been primarily a dripper for the last month or so, and I've started to notice that some of my e-liquids are having to be re dripped much more frequently than others. Has anyone else noticed this? Does anyone know why this is?

    First batch of Backwoods Brew

    All are in 24mg. Watermelon The best watermelon I've had yet. It actually tastes like real watermelon. Nice, light flavor. Refreshing. You can almost feel the juices from a watermelon slice. I feel awkward writing that line... xD Cherry Cola Good flavor, tastes like flat cola, but then...

    My eGo tried to kill me!

    I flooded my atty and after blowing it out and drying the battery connections and everything I screwed the atty back on and looked down into it and pushed the button to make sure it worked. It instantly spat 36mg nic menthol juice in both of my eyes! That was pretty :censored: painful, but I...

    The eGo has arrived!

    The vapor on this bad boy is incredible! Is it even possible to stealth vape with one of these? =] I love how easy it is to clean out carts too. Wow this is nice.

    Does a KR8 5V passthrough actually vape at 5V?

    Or does it just end up getting reduced to 3.7? The reason I ask is I have been getting an unwanted warmer vape from my passthrough and my juices just don't taste as good as they do on the battery.

    V4L e-juices

    Three PG juices for review here: Rootbeer float nobacco 24mg 8/10 Very decent vapor production on a KR8 with inhale tasting significantly more like nobacco, then a subtle aftertaste of root beer. Very good. Rum & Cola nobacco 24mg 9/10 Good vapor production. Amazingly good rum...

    Smoked one cigarette today. One.

    I was smoking a pack and a half to two packs a day of True Menthol Kools just two days ago. This is amazing. I had no cravings at all and only smoked the cigarette because I was trying to do a taste comparison; The cigarette tasted horrible. Is it unusual for this to happen so quickly?

    Vapor4Life KR808D-1

    I received my package around lunch today. Haven't smoked a cigarette since then and I'm a pack-and-a-half-a-day full-flavored smoker. I didn't even really try to avoid them, I just didn't need one. Anyway, on to the review. The V4L KR808D-1 IS a great starter choice, in my opinion. I...

    Excellent Service at Velvetvapors.com

    I tried to place an order for 10x6ml sampler bottles. I am a US Marine stationed in Okinawa, Japan. For some reason I couldn't get my APO address to work, I suspect it was my own error. I sent an email asking about my problem and received a lightning fast reply. We worked out a way around...

    Curse the USPS!

    I can't wait to receive my first kit, but it's in the hands of usps, the snailest of snail mail. I've only been waiting for a 4 days, but it feels like forever. Probably because my habit of checking the USPS tracker is almost as bad as my nicotine habit. It's gotten so bad that I'm about...

    5V/USB Passthrough Proof of concept

    'Like the title says, this is just a proof of concept, haven't figured out how to rip out the e-cig battery connection yet. (Any info on this would be appreciated.) This is more of a novelty PV obviously, but I think it should work pretty well. The left mouse button will be the switch.

    Cutting 100mg Nic juice. I want to be double sure before messing with this stuff.

    I have a 60ml bottle of 100mg unflavored nic juice and I want to add it to a no nic flavor. How would I mix it down to my standard nicotine levels? (36mg, 24mg, 18mg)

    How to make a "ghetto" juicebox?

    If anyone could give a basic overview of components and organization, or even better if anyone has a schematic that they could link me to, I would be very thankful. I get the basic idea of the juicebox, but I just want to make sure I do it right the first time.
