    Variation of PTB Mod

    I have long nails and found it difficult to roll a PBT tight enough and keep it rolled long enough to get it in the cart. After emptying teabag and cutting into 2 pieces like normal: My alternative was to just fold it 1) in half 2) fold down the folded edge again about 1/4" to 3/8"...

    Sweet Juice - Finally

    The first e-cig I tried had a vanilla cartomizer. "Ahhh...DESSERT! wth no calories!" :D I thought. This will keep me from going back to analogs. Ever since I switched to a 510, I have been searching for that sweet note. I just purchased something called SPLENDEX, a pure sucralose...

    New (to me) Use for Leftover Analogs

    Surfing the web for how to fight the bugs/slugs that were devouring the hostas in my flower bed. Came across a website for homemade solutions that said 4 parts water, 1 part tobacco - let sit for a few hours, and spray plants once a week. I recall (now that I'm writing this) that nicotine...

    Synthetic Nicotine vs Tobacco-"derived"

    Pls forgive me if this sounds like a dumb question.... My science know-how/understanding is limited (I'm a numbers person - lol) With all the discssion about niotine being a tobacco derived product and thus maybe falling under regulations of some sort, isn't there such a thing as synthetic...

    Scientific question - sort of...

    Everyone says when you exhale an e-cig, you are exhaling plain water vapor. When you exhale during cold weather outdoors, you can see your breath, also water vapor. Why can we see the e-cig vapor at room temperature?

    How do you keep track of what flavor is in which cart?

    I've been busy experimenting with new DIY flavors and having a blast! However, I find myself with 10+ carts and then not being able to tell exactly what I put in them. (my sense of smell hasn't returned quite yet - lol) Anyone have a system they developed to keep track of their filled carts...

    How do I answer this question?

    A friend of mine posed these questions and I wasn't sure of the answer: When you inhale, do you absorb all or just part of the nicotine? If you do not absorb it all, what happens to the rest? (Does the vapor you exhale contain the unabsorbed nicotine?) (FYI, I have a 510) Anyone know...

    usb passthru question - for joye510

    Pls educate me on this... the battery on this is suppose to charge when plugged in so you can use it when not plugged in? Mine doesn't work at all unless plugged in. (I already rechecked to make sure I had put the battery in correctly...) Any ideas?
