    Old Theme Totally Gone?

    I'm visually impaired and the right-hand widget uses up way too much screen space when the screen is enlarged. This is illegible to me. As of now, the option to use an old theme seems to be gone--ECF, E-Cigarette Forum (light and dark), all have the new theme. I seem to be able to move the...

    Disassemble Volt X2?

    I'm a tinkerer. I have a few dead X2s lying around that I'd like to take apart for idle curiosity, and so I can marvel at the tiny electronics. Also, my battery recycling place won't take lithium batteries that are in casings, just the batteries themselves. I'm going to have to get these...

    Slurpy T3 Question

    I've been rebuilding my T3 heads and it's going very well. One question I have is that about 1 in 4 rebuilds slurp liquid when drawn on. Rebuilding those has a 3 in 4 chance of fixing it. I'm currently using 2 mm silica wick (I don't care for the taste of even well-boiled cotton). I have 3...

    A Whole Calendar Year

    I lit my last analog on December 24, 2012 (happenstance, not planned). As of 45 minutes and a very large glass of wine ago, I had officially passed one full calendar year as a vaper. Congratulations to all converters in 2013 and in the year to come!

    I just rebuilt a Kanger T3 base!

    It wasn't easy, but according to all reports, that's the case with these. The space is small, and it was probably a rather extreme challenge for a first-timer. I know I occasionally see threads asking for help, so I thought I'd post what worked for me, and the challenges I had. 1) Take the...

    Kanger T3

    I have the Kanger T3 tanks with the replaceable base, 808 version (Smokeless Image | The Best Electronic Cigarette) for my Volt X2. The bases are costing me a fortune. Comparatively; I can stretch a full set to 6-8 weeks, but they're pretty rangy-tasting toward the end of that period. And at...

    Six Months Today!

    Although my sig footer tends to be a little off, today is definitely 6 months. It's been a fun ride so far. I can smell, taste, and even hear better (you know, without the perpetual sinus infection). My blood pressure has dropped significantly. My heart rate is down. My breathing rate is...

    Wick for Kanger T3?

    My atomizers are still going strong, but the wicking is getting kind of ugly and starting to discolor my liquids a little bit when I get to the bottom of the tank. I found a gentle brushing with a toothbrush cleans the wires just fine. However, I'd like to replace the wicking as it gets...

    The Worst Day...No Cigs

    I've just proved to myself that I no longer smoke, and as long as I have my vape, I never will. Yesterday, the dog collapsed when he got up. After waiting most of the day, it turned out to be cancer of the spleen (almost invisible, no symptoms until there suddenly ARE symptoms, and very...

    A Great Doctor's Visit

    I went to the doctor for my annual late-winter sinus infection. Which is rather mild this year, and only somewhat annoying. My blood pressure is down to 110/60 from 125/75. My heart rate was a little high, but I'm running a slight fever and not feeling quite right. According to her, my lungs...

    500 Error As Well

    I'd reply to one of the other threads but can't get into them either. Mods, please feel free to delete once the issue's known, I don't like replicating threads either. :-)

    Kanger T3 bases: 808 AND eGo?

    Is there any place in the USA that sells both the 808 and eGo bases for the Kanger T3 tank? I need both, and would rather place one order if possible. TIA!

    Winter Storm

    "We all gonna die!" OK, no, it's just a winter storm, we'll be fine and I'm only in the six to twelve inch band anyway. However, given our performance locally during Sandy, I've also whipped up 250 ml of home-brew liquid (menthol cinnamon with a touch of chocolate, 18 mg/ml). I've charged...

    Are These Menthol Crystals OK?

    Amazon.com: Menthol Crystals, 8 oz: Health & Personal Care I haven't tried this company, but the price is good. Perhaps too good. Previously, I used menthol crystals from My Freedom Smokes, and those were excellent. The price for eight ounces would be $60, which seems a bit out of line. Why...

    Snagged Another at the Grocery

    I'd mentioned to the nice ladies at the Customer Service counter of my local grocery store that I'd quit. They've known me for years, so they asked why I never came there any longer. Everybody was thrilled. Fast forward to today! While checking out, one of the CS ladies came over and asked...

    Bam-o, the VAMO!

    Mine arrived today while guests were here. So of course I zipped out, got the mail, and opened it to let the VAMO warm a bit. Then took it down. People wanted to know if I could beat someone to death with it. OK, the thing is huge, and heavy, but I actually found I liked that. The gun-metal...

    No craving at all? Really?

    So far (and it being 10 PM anything I get now is manageable), this is the first day I've had absolutely no craving at all for a cigarette. It only took me seven and a half weeks to get to this point. This is also the first day that vaping has been completely and utterly satisfying for me...

    kGo VV Issues

    I ordered a kGo VV from Hoosier E-Cig and it arrived today. Either something's awry or I'm not reading the instructions correctly. Plugging it into USB doesn't seem to charge it. The battery's charge indicator isn't flashing and the battery has been at 40% for three hours now. Is there...

    Dentist -- VICTORY!

    I had my six-month this morning and my hygienist said my teeth were in better condition than she'd ever seen them. Or, to quote, "Whatever you're doing, keep doing it." I had minimal tartar (which doesn't seem to link to vaping), minimal staining, and the dentist wants to take the opportunity...

    My Clothes Stink!

    ...of raspberry, pomegranate, and mint. :vapor: I did notice that the stuff in my closet still has that ingrained ciggy stench. It looks like I'm going to be spending today and much of tomorrow doing massive loads of wash. I want that just-laundered scent so I can impregnate it with menthol...
