    Comment by 'Ariel' in 'Brick & Mortar - Physical Retail Locations Reference'

    Hmmm... nothing listed for Utah. And yet, in just about every head/smoke shop I've been in, there's e-cigs for sale. I wonder how out-of-date those lists are? I should probably contact the sites, but I'm too lazy (but not too lazy to comment on this blog).

    Vaping as a medical semi-professionsl

    I'm not QUITE a medical professional yet. I'm finishing my externship at a large and busy downtown clinic. I am a LOT more grateful for my e-cigs now. I haven't seen any employees smoking since I started 6 weeks ago. While I don't think there's an explicit smoke-free employee policy, smoking...

    Next batch I'll try adding a drop of lavender essential oil, but I wanted this one to be pure.

    Updated Mountain Dew recipe

    Ah yes... the elusive Mountain Dew flavor. With some help from other forum members, we'd had a thread going on the juice recipes forum. I checked, and the thread is still there, but it's gone WAY off-topic. I'd dropped the Mt. Dew flavor for a bit. It's good stuff, but circumstances made...

    Comment by 'Ariel' in 'Little Discussion: How many people have you turned to Vaping?'

    So far, I've converted my husband to the Way of the E-Cig. He'd been thinking about it, but when he learned taxes were going to jack up the price of analogs $2-$3/pack, he got me to help him make the switch to e-cigs.

    Comment by 'Ariel' in 'DIY gear'

    Update: U. S. Plastic is a great place to order bottles. They're cheap and the turnaround time is fantastic. Here's a direct link to the dropper bottles. Also, Wilton's glycerine is not specifically labeled as "Vegetable Glycerin", which makes it a bit worrisome. I've been using vegetable...

    Updated clove juice recipe

    Wow.. just looking over the previous recipe I posted for clove juice. I don't think it could get much more complicated than that. 8-o I experimented and came up with a MUCH simpler way to mix the stuff. The only variables are adjusting the VG and the unflavored base to get the strength you...

    7 weeks.. success!

    7 weeks, and absolutely no desire to go back to analogs. It's been 13 months since I started e-cigs. Heh.. it only took me 11 months to finally drop the analogs. :oops: I've become a lot more open about vaping in public, though I still keep it hidden some places. And the bathroom makes a...

    Supporting ECF

    Meh.. my one-year subscription as a supporting member is about to run out.. and I can't afford to renew. Hopefully after graduation and getting a full-time job I can do so again. This site has been (and continues to be) extremely informative about all things e-ciggy. I'm very grateful that...

    Comment by 'Ariel' in 'Finally cigarette-free'

    Hmmm.. interesting side effect. I've been vaping @ 30, but it seems a bit too strong for me now. Next batch I mix will be 24.

    Cleaning atties

    This is more for my reference. It's based off this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/experiments-equipment/35917-sattecs-atty-cleaning-test-thread.html and various other threads suggesting using denture cleaner tabs. Blow out the dirty atties. Put atties in a small glass and...

    Finally cigarette-free

    Here in Utah, per-pack cigarette tax will be going up 2 or 3 bucks starting July 1. It was the final motivation I needed to make the total switch to e-cigs. I'm discovering how much I now hate the taste of analogs, and the thought of smoking one makes me go "ew". It also convinced my sweetie...

    Comment by 'Ariel' in 'You didnt see me'

    :( Yeah, it was the inattentive drivers that made me decide to stop riding my bike.. too many close calls, and all the other fun that happens with motorcycles sharing the road with cars and trucks. This is why I don't drip, or use my cell, while I'm driving my car... so I can pay attention...

    Vaping while sick

    ... so much better than smoking. I get the nicotine fix without adding to the sore throat (or inhaling the poisons that seem to make the illness last longer). It's lovely to not be jonesing for nicotine while I'm sick. I remember one time my husband was smoking while he had bronchitis (yep...

    Comment by 'Ariel' in 'Excellent. Elegant. Simple.'

    I'm falling in love with using a tiny bit of lavender EO in my blends. It adds tremendously to the relaxation effect. I'm thinking I might try a blackberry e-juice with a drop of lavender next.

    Excellent. Elegant. Simple.

    This was something I blended today - wanted to try a couple of flavors by themselves that seemed to work well together with other flavors in other recipes. At the last minute I decided to put in a drop of lavender oil. Wow. All three flavors come through nicely, starting with an initial...

    Comment by 'Ariel' in 'Mountain Dew, sort of'

    Hmmm. tried it with orange oil, not as good as the original blend. Also tried the original recipe with a single drop of lavender essential oil added. No longer Mt. Dew-y, but definitely very yummy! :D

    510 vs. 401

    ....and the winner is.... the 401. It has much longer battery life. MUCH MUCH longer. I don't need my portable charger because the battery life is 3-4 times longer with the 401, and only need to take a spare battery or two. I like dipping. The taste is cleaner, it's faster to work with...
