    Warning: Using non-eGo cables could fry you Ego-V VV 650mah battery

    Positive. I do IT for a living. I know my USB ports. The current ego passthrough does use the standard port. The one I have has an adapter from the USB Fuji Type IV to the standard mini (not micro) that my work Blackberry uses and my portable USB hard drive uses. Everything else I own uses the...

    Natural Tobaccos

    This is the best thread ever. It's not normally a flame-fest, but with 7,600+ posts, I like to think that the occasional flame fest adds to the variety and scope of the ongoing conversation. And yeah, the bank balance thing is a definite problem.

    Natural Tobaccos

    Many aged, fermented, or cured natural products develop flavors and smells of other stuff. Compounds in the product break down, and the resulting chemicals can be identical or similar to the chemicals that give something else a specific flavor or smell. It can actually taste like cherry even if...

    I realize that I'm quite a bit behind all of you guys in terms of the NETs that I've tried, but today I fired up some MyVapeJuice.com's Rogue Original proprietary blend (18mg nicotine) after 54 days of steeping. It is terrific. It is similar to My Hero, but spicier. It has a silkier mouthfeel...

    Peer Gynt Suite #1, 4th movement: In the Hall of the Mountain King -- Edvard Grieg You'll recognize this piece, because it's widely used in cartoons and advertisements. It's totally worth listening to the whole thing, it's only about 2 1/2 minutes. It's one of the pieces you've got to love even...

    Natural Tobaccos

    I use wine as an example, and it applies to anything at all. Roller coasters, automobiles. Especially foods & beverages: ketchup, cheese, potato chips, beer, cheeseburgers, ice cream, soda pop, coffee, candy bars. Any large food company employs professional tasters to chart out flavor, texture...

    Natural Tobaccos

    Wine tasting gets a bad rap, with derisive terms like "cork sniffing" and all. You have movies like Sideways that show wine enthusiasts as self-satisfied, pretentious snobs who use their taste in wine to mask the fact that they're coarse, unmannered buffoons. As with most movie portrayals of...

    Just got an eVic, but it should be a Provari

    I've been looking everywhere for these. Where did you get it? Edited: Just found it here from an earlier comment: EVIC SÆT GROOVE I STÅL 18650 Mine is on its way. Funny thing: buying it and having it shipped to North America is cheaper than buying it in Europe, because shipping is less than...

    Glass Tanks & MT Baker Volatile Flavors!??

    Just got my IBTanked clear 19mm standard tank kit in the mail today. I loaded it up and screwed it into my eVic when I got home from work. It makes me want to shout from the rooftops: Everybody using cartos needs to get a carto-tank today! Unbelievable flavor. Unbelievable vape. Unbelievable...

    That's awful and very sad that this happened. I cannot possibly imagine what it feels like to endure something like that or have a family member who did. I'm glad that this lowlife was brought to justice, and I hope that it helps to bring closure for your niece and your family.

    Divertimento, movement #7: Blues: Slow blues tempo -- Leonard Bernstein This is a short little piece that doesn't make a lot of sense outside of the context of the larger piece, but frankly the Divertimento is more interesting for having been written by Bernstein than it is in its own right...
