    Make your own USB Power Pack

    Great reminder of Patrick Norton's work. (I'd forgotten him for a while and difinitely missed this episode. I have a friend who wants a USB power source for camping trips.

    Which carts work the best for more vapor, less throat hit?

    I collect a dozen or so, open them, secure them two at a time in the alligator clips of a helping hands (soldering utility) so they stay in place, drip a little lemon juice diluted in water in each one to break the oil and freshen them up, couple short shots with a small Shark steamer, use a...

    Stuck at 4 analogs a day

    I'm also at 3 or 4 a day, but I have to keep reminding myself that's down from 20,40 to 60 a day at times for many years. I'm so used to so many years of failing and beating myself up that I forget to celebrate this huge decrease and just relax for a while. I just keep putting the tobacco...

    Would you ever smoke analogs again?

    i wouldn't want to go back. Thought it through, you can grow your own tobacco and make tea for the juice, you can get around the battery thing, but atomizers seemed tricky at first. Did a quick experiment building a very crude atomizer one night and it worked, submitted it to the atomizer mods...

    Which carts work the best for more vapor, less throat hit?

    I've really had good success with KR cartomizers from both vapor4life.com and vapornine.com. I also had bought cartomizers from other sites and ended up with burning problems. I prefer buying the blank carts in bulk from vapornine and loading them with my favorite nicotine juices that I also...

    Has anyone tried to build an atomizer?

    Feel free to ask questions. My answers may be sporadic as I'm in a busy season with work. When I have time off I tend to spend a lot of time on the forum and when I'm busy, I don't get a chance, but looking forward to it.

    Looking for something to carry your E-Smokes ?

    To carry individual PV's: Batteries, Atomizers and Cartridges, I use the small double flashdrive cases you can pick up at any office supply store for a few bucks. This way I can grab an 801, 901, Nebula etc. out of my brief case, stick it in a pocket and go.

    questions

    I bought a box of 60 blank, empty cartomizers from VaporNine. Can be a little tricky to find on the website because they aren't right on the front page, but when looking through the prefilled cartomizers you'll notice the blank carts at the bottom of the listing.

    Shopping list

    I've had my best luck buying PG from Wilton's both online and through a local Michaels Craft store. I bought what was supposed to be food grade PG through a local pharmacy believe it or not and then a nurse who is a friend of mine asked to see the bottle and said it wasn't truly food grade and...

    ANOTHER cleaning method--Dry Heat?!?

    Could you do an update on this a little bit in the future because I'm really curious about it. I was going to try a really similar method early on (because the heat system made sense to me at the time) but then read all the advice that the one single thing that shortens the life of atomizers...

    Whats realy going on with the fda"s ban

    Agree with what you say about safety and knowing what we're putting in our bodies by vaporizing, (one of the most direct delivery systems to the bloodstream, probably second only to injections). However the government is never really the most cost efficient or effective system to use to...

    Has anyone tried to build an atomizer?

    ..... and both I and my house survived with all ten digits left to write about it. There must be some old radio or television engineers out there who are trying these things. I've met many of them over the years and they've done some of the craziest experiments.

    mc cormick flavors

    I need to go back and read some of the early posts on the DIY about mixing your own juice, seems there was some concern about some of the food flavorings ingredients clogging atomizers. I risked an early atomizer and used some McCormicks Vanilla and others with the Camel Snuz/Propeline Glycol...

    Refill Compatibility

    Do trust the advice you are getting here. Been there, Done that. 1st one was an expensive disaster because I was on a long trip in a company vehicle where I couldn't smoke and suckered for one in a quick stop. It did get me off tobacco, but had I read the good advice of people with a lot of...

    Some Titan/510 and general noob questions...

    Don't mean to add to your spending on devices but one solution I really like is testing out new flavors with the Nebula/VaporKing cartomizers with their own built in atomizers in the cart. That way you can relatively inexpensively devote carts to individual flavors. Here's the really good...

    help finding the perfect e-cig

    I think you'll find it has more to do with the juice, it's flavoring and your style of inhaling than with the device. You'll still want a unit with a good output to get enough vapor. You can cut the juice with some Wilton's Food Grade Glycerin to drop the nicotine content and use some Loran's...

    Converting to E Cigs with regards to Nicotine content.

    Wish I'd had this help when I started. Great advice to people getting started; GO EASY. Didn't realize I was getting a nicotine overdose until I bought some of the 34 mg unflavored and began flavoring my own without cutting with glycerin the first time. Talk about RLS (restless leg syndrome)...

    Got My Johnson Smoke Juice Today....

    For the stock you have, here are some of the solutions I've been pretty happy with with Johnson Creek products: If they are strong, you can cut them with a little glycerin and adjust the flavor somewhat with some complimentary Loran flavoring from a craft store. I keep some powerful Totally...

    is there nicotine in the exhaled smoke

    Someone asked me the same question about nicotine in the exhaled vapor the other night when I used it in a restaurant. Does anyone know if this has been tested?
