    11 year vaping veteran….just checking in

    Hey kids! I have been so horribly absent from here over the last 5-6 years. Long story short, quit the stinkers on 8-22-10 and haven’t looked back. Vaping has grown and changed so much during the 11 years I have vaped, I won’t even bore you with the details of what gear was like when I...

    4 years!

    4 years vaping. 4 years not smoking. I forget what it was like to be a smoker. The triggers are gone at this point. I really do not know what my future is with vaping. At this time I have no desire to quit vaping, yet I have been coming down on my nicotine over the past 6 months. I was...

    What are you thankful for?

    In the spirit of the season.....what are you thankful for? I am thankful for my health, for a roof over my head, and food in my tummy. I am thankful for a job that allows me to challenge my mind and truly make a difference in the lives of my patients. Being a critical care nurse is hard....a...

    Modding gripper guts into wooden case

    Hey everyone! I am not the best modder in the world. I have *many* failed projects in my closet. So I could really use some guidance from all of you with natural talent to mod really well. I just love my VV gripper. I have been through 4 of them though due to accidentally dropping them and...

    UPDATE on long-term unflavored nic storage

    I am sure the FDA article scare yesterday has a lot of people thinking about stockpiling nic base in the freezer. I would be lying if I said I didn't order yet another liter of 100mg last night. Long story short, when the 100mg arrives, I immediately cut it with PG down to 50mg. I always buy...

    Cotton wick for the win!

    I have tried rebuilding vivi's, protanks, evods, bulli atomizer....no luck. Coils work great, taste is HORRIBLE. I would torch the kanthal, wash/dry/torch the silica, same bad taste no matter what I did. Had an insomnia episode last night. Started watching youtube videos on cotton...

    1000 days!

    1000 days of vaping, 1000 days since I last smoked a cigarette. I cannot believe how quickly it has flown by! It is hard to believe that I will hit the 3 year mark in August. I have noticed that over this past year I have vaped less. A 3mL tank will last me 24 hours. I vape 15mg, and have...

    Nicotine users not alone anymore in the health insurance game...

    NBC news has had this story on a couple of times today......CVS is starting the initiative to have body weight, BMI, glucose levels, cholesterol, etc screened by your doctor, and based on those numbers, your health insurance premium rates are calculated. IIRC, it is roughly a $60 penalty if...

    Think about how hard we work to earn the $$ we burned away on cigarettes

    This is something I think about A LOT. I realize vaping costs $$ as well, and some spend more than others, but when we smoked, it was KILLING us! We voluntarily spent our hard earned dollars on a habit that was slowly killing each of us. Makes me mad at myself. I figure that after taxes, it...

    Being "prepared" on a snow day....

    Packed 1 bottle of water and a baggie of trail mix. Packed 8 18650 batts, provari, MVP, 2 twists, gripper, 2 tanks, 20 mL of juice, portable batt charger, USB to cig lighter adapter, punched 3 cartos, and packed 8 cartos plus the punch. Just in case. My trip is 15 miles. Roads already...

    Is anyone else having Boge issues again??

    I ordered some more LR Boge 2.0 cartos last week from 2 different vendors. I have tried random cartos from different boxes, and 95% of the ones I have tried are just crappy! The draw is really really stiff. The filler seems really stiff and overly compacted. I have a hard time even punching...

    Who knew a drip tip could screw up my vaping experience.....

    Hey vaper friends.. I am prone to stupid bone head moments with vaping. Had a real idiot moment with a faulty bottle on a REO a little over a year ago. Well, apparently bone head moment of 2013 has arrived. I have been having stiff draw and weakened vapor issues again over the past couple of...

    A few thoughts on the B&M threads

    Hey everyone-- I have read a lot of threads recently on the general attitudes and disrespect of some B&M establishments out in our communities. It is sad to hear some of pathetic customer service examples out there. Given how supportive and positive the ECF community is, we take for granted...

    How often do you throw out batteries??

    Hey! Just wanted a few thoughts on how often you completely toss out and purchase new batts. I use 18650 AW IMR for my provari and gripper. I purchased 6 new batts in May 2012. I use a batt per day. All of them come off the charger @ 4.2v, and I throw them on the charger once they get down...

    First sinus infection since vaping

    Well, after over 2 years of vaping, I have my first sinus infection. I would get 4-6 each year when I smoked. Weird thing is this time around, it took a while to actually realize it was a sinus infection. I had some stuffiness and felt run down, but it took waking up yesterday to the nastiest...

    And the zombie apocalypse stash grows.....

    Placed a large health cabin order, finally pulled the trigger on 2 vivi's..... I know am late to the party as usual lol...and ordered a new liter of unflavored nic liquid from MFS. I am not a fear monger but I am slightly more concerned about regulation than I was 24 hours ago. And I just...

    Can't seem to get my Bulli to work right

    Hey friends! I got my first RBA on Tuesday.....yay for the Bulli! I got the SS ta version, not the mega. It's really nice, well built, and looks phenomenal. However, while I am a two year vaper, I am a rebuildables virgin, lol. I am having some issues. Coil wrapping is no problem, I have...

    What cartos are you using " post bogegate"

    Hey friends... It is time to replenish my carto stock a little bit. Trying to decide what I am going to purchase. I usually buy Boge 2.0 LR in bulk from health cabin, but I am leery of doing this. I have had hit or miss boxes from as early as this past March from my last bulk order. I have...

    Two year anniversary!!!

    Yep....it has arrived....my two year vaping anniversary!!!! It is hard to believe it has been 2 years since I lit a stinkie. And crazy as it sounds, on this two year anniversary, I helped my first convert buy her first starter kit to quit smoking. It was pretty cool. Vaping is just who I...
