    Eliquids, the subjectivity of taste and The Emperor's New Clothes

    Like everyone else, when I first started vaping I knew nothing about it so I read forums like this one to get up to speed. I quickly discovered (outside of all the hardware options) there were premium (i.e. luxury) liquids for sale, and then all the 'other ones'. I have been painstakingly going...

    Butterscotch and buttermint. The USA have unfairly monopolised the good ones.

    I've asked on a few UK forums for tips on a good butterscotch/buttermint/toffee mint type liquid and all the suggestions have been made in the USA. Not fair. I'm going to order some anyway but don't think for one minute I'm happy about it! On a serious note Virgin Vapor seem to be masters at...

    Just a question I want to put out there, non inflammatory I hope...

    I just wonder why I have been nicotine sick (not literally sick but felt wow what the hell) from vaping and also I get the headaches from too much nic even when I lowered my nic levels but never at any point in 35 years of smoking did I get nic sick or headaches from smoking even when I chain...

    Do you have Christmas in America? I know you're all a bit weird over there....

    Seriously, I wish a fantastic Christmas to the great people on here who have been more than willing to lend their assistance to a clueless noob (that would be me) and I hope you have the mother of all new years. Thanks for everything. SS.

    Grumpy's Hooch all the way from the USA to the UK. Was it worth it?

    Damn... yes. I really wanted to like this given all the hype and glowing reviews (customer reviews, the only ones that ever matter) but I couldn't see how it could possibly live up to such wild expectations. It does. It's the best tobacco juice ever and the tobacco flavour isn't even that...

    Easily the biggest switch from cigs to e cigs has got to be as an i.e. vanilla custard?

    When I smoked I could never imagine smoking vanilla custard flavour cigarettes yet here I am vaping away on Bazilla Custard. There are so many flavours I can never settle on one as there are so many to try and I'm always thinking the next one might be 'the one'. Yet I always go back to the...

    Weird vaping habits. Do you have any?

    I currently have two mini protank 2's on the go and a protank 2. I use the mini's to try liquids out and in the protank 2 I usually have my tobacco type flavour of choice for the day. Towards the end of the day I take what's left in the mini's and pour it into the protank 2 along with what's...

    Am I the only one who might investigate mechs if they weren't so damn ugly?

    Most of the ones I've seen look like they were made out of spare parts bought from a steel scrap merchant. Substance over style in every way imaginable and I can see the attraction in that up to a point: durability, they last forever, they won't die anytime soon, you won't be replacing them next...

    Mods, Mechs, all well and good but what about all in one battery fans?

    I spent £30 GBP for an Ego V V3 1300 mah battery. It lasts long enough, it has VV and VW, it vapes great (it doesn't actually vape anything, it's a battery, but since all those people with the posh mech batteries claim vaping is much better with theirs I will do it as well). Beyond that I am...

    Vapemail... get excited. What can it be? A new Provari? That killer juice? Well not quite...

    Drip tips. I have a black and gold one coming, a cool silver one, and a transparent one. And I can't wait. I looked at the pictures of them on the internet and decided me and them had to have a coming together. It's safe to say that when it comes to amazingly exciting vapemail I am at the...

    What flavour do you keep going back to when you get bored of trying new ones?

    The vaping 'journey' seems to always entail trying every flavour just because you can. I always go back to RY4 it never disappoints me. There are good RY4's and bad ones but I have found (for me) the good ones. All the other stuff I try it and for an hour I think yeah this is really neat then I...

    Do you vape more when reading vaping forums?

    I do. I can read footy, music, games forums etc and vape at a modest rate. However, I come in here and I'm tooting away like a maniac while I read what you all have to say about our mutual interest. I'm the same with other vaping forums too, specially when I'm reading topics about liquids I am...

    I'm going to show my ignorance here but MOD's... high maintenance?

    I was reading another forum earlier and someone said they didn't get on with one of the Kayfun's because recoiling was a pain. I also saw a couple of mods where coil heads are not replaceable. Is this pretty much standard for people who go heavy into the MOD scene? At the moment I use an Ego V...

    Vaping... how to spread the word.... well how about some famous vapers?

    I don't mean people who are famous for vaping, that would be stupid, I mean FAMOUS people who vape. I was thinking how cool it would be if Nick Cave was on TV all gaunt and nonchalant and non conformist and controversial while vaping away on a giant Provari or something equally ridiculous...

    How much nic do you vape versus how much you need?

    Someone's going to ask, it may as well be me. So let's say you just quit cigs, you're vaping 24mg, it makes you feel a little bit light-headed but kind of gives you the 'hit' you get from smoking. Now you're moving down to 18 which is fine it's the natural step down. But you're vaping all the...

    Using VV/VW device does it matter which replacement coil heads I buy?

    Hi folks, I'm using an Ego V V3 and I have it set to watts the whole time and was wondering what difference (if any) it makes what coil heads I buy. I've been using 2.5 and 2.2. I heard lower ohms gives you a tighter draw does that still hold true using VW? Thanks.

    VW: do you want the good news or the not quite so good news?

    So I have moved on to VV/VW vaping. I suppose I should just say VW as I am one of those really lazy types who just wants stuff that I don't care about to happen in the background. Wow, what a vape. Loads of vapour, strong taste, great TH. It's a new world of vaping for me. I am the VW Vaping...

    I know there are tons of vaping veterans on here so please a simple answer to this question.

    I've just got an Ego V V3 which has VV and VW and I really love it but I think I am burning new coil heads by turning watts up to anything past 7. Am I right that the higher wattage is burning my coils or am I doing something else wrong? The coils in both atomisers are 2.5 if that matters. Thanks.

    Great Big Scary Clouds In The Sky

    It's a stupid thread title, I know, but it's kind of a stupid thread. I wanted to know what kind of vaper you are. Do you vape and feel content with the amount of vapour that reproduces what you would have got from cigs? Or do you not care particularly about how much vapour you're producing and...

    The gullible consumer generation. Can you honestly say you're not part of this?

    My partner decided she wants a tablet for Christmas, settled on a Nexus 7. I thought okay I'll get her that, I have already budgeted for other stuff she wants but I'll get that too. She doesn't need it she has a Galaxy 3 but she wants it anyway but wait... she wants to run Powerpoint on it...
