    are we all ex smokers?

    There are vapers who never smoked. I'm still a bit torn on underage vaping. One the one hand, I feel like e-liquid shouldn't be sold to or used by anyone under 18, but on the other hand, my main problem with that is addiction. I don't want anyone to be an addict no matter how old they are...

    Maybe be a little less gadget happy?

    What's the best model that uses a mini USB charger (pass through)?

    I love my eGo-V V2 Mega. Dropped that thing in a toilet, had trouble with the voltage randomly jumping up to 6V, and then it decided to work fine after two days. :)

    EVOD noob.. to remove one flavor wick or not to?

    Whenever I clean an EVOD head for the first time, I like to ditch the flavor wicks entirely, as they tend to fall apart when I clean them. Then I replace it with a cotton wick fashioned out of a bit of cotton ball, then replace that when I clean it again.

    8 years of smoking...now i have a cough while vaping

    Like Hulamoon says, try out more VG than PG. Also, be aware of HOW you vape. It's not like smoking. I have a lot less coughing and irritation now that I don't do straight lung hits. I pull vapor into the mouth, then inhale. Also don't hold it in like you did with smoke. As for the coughing...

    Oops - spilled a half a tank of juice all over the place

    When I first got my Protank, I was unscrewing the tank to switch it out for a different flavor, and when I pulled it from the battery, I was suddenly covered in blueberry juice! Turns out, I unscrewed the tank from the base, rather than unscrewing the base from the battery. Gotta pay attention...

    Do I vape too much?

    First of all, you're already addicted. Not to the flavors, but to the nicotine, so that ship has sailed. Second, it sounds like you're vaping pretty much constantly? I'm not sure how much a minitank holds. I started with 18 mg juice too, because that's what was recommended to me by the...

    Wait...did I quit smoking?

    If it seems too good to be true... You're probably vaping. :vapor:

    Probably a really stupid question!!

    No math: Higher voltage = more vapor produced, more juice spent, and more flavor experienced. BUT, it also means burning out your coil faster. Also, higher voltage + higher resistance = better result (i.e. more vapor, more coil life, less juice used). While experimenting with my first VV...

    Your thoughts on kids who vape, but have never smoked an analog before?

    There is a rapidly developing "vaper" culture in the world. For me, vaping is keeping me of smokes. I smoked a pack/day for 12 years and I couldn't be happier with the switch. I have a younger cousin (22) who was told by all of his older cousins (including me) and his smoking friends, "If I...

    why are we doing this anyway?

    I actually liked my starter kit. Some no-name eGo style 650 mAh battery with a CE4 tank. Got me to quit smoking immediately, and only cost $17.99. I've since bought the cheapest VV eGo battery I could find with a digital display (eGo-V V2 mega) and I think that's about as far as I'll go. I...

    How many days is needed for steeping?

    As far as I can tell from the research I've done, steeping requires 0-180 days. It depends on so many things, and every juice is different. Like jefsview said, tobacco juices just keep changing, usually for the better, as time goes on.

    Social smoker looking for suggestions

    Having now purchased a VV battery, I can say without hesitation that I will never buy a p..p..pr....pro....-GAH! :)

    Vaping as a dietary tool..

    Nicotine is a narcotic stimulant, and, like most stimulants, it is an appetite suppressant. And while I haven't tested it, I think that vaping can be used to satisfy sweet tooth cravings for some people. Just be mindful that all stimulants carry a risk of heart disease. If you can vape 0 nic...

    Social smoker looking for suggestions

    I started with a "can't even find it with a google search" kit. It totally hooked me. :)

    Social smoker looking for suggestions

    My biggest fear is for casual/social smokers to end up gadget happy like me. That stuff is expensive.

    Social smoker looking for suggestions

    I was a pack/day smoker, and a 30 ml bottle lasts me nearly a month. And if the OP were smoking 1 cigarette/day, my response would be completely different. But if someone is smoking 1-4 cigarettes a month, they're not doing any real damage to themselves. And if they buy any e-cig starter kit...
