    Using vape to quit smoking

    ^^^ This is why I don't want to get into it as a big hobby, where I'm buying all the newest and latest gadgets. I want to find something that is reliable, works great, and keeps me from smoking, cutting down my $200/mo expenditure to no more than $50/month, and use that spare money to go on...

    How To Improve Wicking - iClear 16

    Thanks! I actually fished the one I replaced out of the trash (paper trash, not garbage, LOL) yesterday to try the 'cleaning' thing I'd never heard about. Glad I did, because it works just fine now! Hadn't even thought about the fact I might need some of the piece-y parts at some point. One...

    Christmas List: Good Choice, or not?

    Great ideas, everyone! Thanks! I'm home most of the time, so just having the two should be perfectly fine, especially if they last all/most of the day. I take an entire spare set-up with me everywhere I go still (only on day 6, and not willing to let equipment failure/malfunction/dead battery...

    How To Improve Wicking - iClear 16

    Thanks everyone... so I guess if I'm a chain-vaper and can't slow down, my only option pretty much is to have two set-ups and rotate them every couple of puffs, LOL. I don't want to get over my head too quickly in terms of equipment difficulty, so I won't be drastically changing what I use for...

    curious about the change

    Hi there! I'm on day 6 of no cigarettes, and I honestly can't believe it. Like many here, I'd pretty much resigned myself to being a lifelong smoker. I have a family history of stroke, heart issues, Aortic Aneurisms, Diabetes... you get the idea, and none of it enticed me to do much more than...

    Christmas List: Good Choice, or not?

    Hey everybody, I'm not liking the battery life of my e-Go-T starter kit batteries (they're about a year old, although they've only been in actual use for about a month of that time, I was a dope and left the batteries connected to the tanks while not in use) I just put out a request to 'Santa'...

    How To Improve Wicking - iClear 16

    I'm using 70/30 30mg/ml juice, Butter Pecan flavor. I read someone saying something about fluffing wicks, but I don't know what that means and don't know if it works regardless. When I'm not actively vaping, I leave it laying on it's side because it falls over otherwise if the table gets...

    Need some advice on funky taste with replaced coil...

    I'm using a 70/30 mix of PG/VG, 30mg/ml Modify how? Would probably definitely be worth knowing, since I vape so often, there's probably not much difference between slow wicking and vaping so often the wicks just can't keep up, lol. I don't think my juice is considered high VG... but I do...

    How To Improve Wicking - iClear 16

    Hi all, and I apologize in advance if this question is a bit redundant... I imagine it gets asked quite often, but I was unable to find the answer through the search function on the site... nothing related came up, so here I am, asking again :) How can I get my wicks to 'suck up' juice faster...

    New to the vaping world, hello all!

    Welcome, welcome!! It's such a great feeling, isn't it? I went (pretty much instantly) from 2 PAD to less than 1/2 PAD, and once I found a flavor I was super thrilled with, they made the 'real' thing taste so gnarly I put them down (for good, lord willing) four days later... once I realized I...

    Need some advice on funky taste with replaced coil...

    Okay, so... Brushed Teeth: No change, except film-like sensation went away, taste still terrible. Cleaned Original Coil & iClear Housing, Refilling with Fresh Juice from Uncontaminated Larger Bottle: No change, brief return of film-like sensation on tongue, return of tingling on tongue, no...

    Need some advice on funky taste with replaced coil...

    I'm actually fairly mechanically inclined, if I have someone to walk me through something the first time. I thought all these terms (dry burning, cleaning, etc.) were just things that people who are really into vaping as a hobby do... I hadn't run across the information that even with my simple...

    Need some advice on funky taste with replaced coil...

    I had seen this term before too, and had no idea what it meant. Thanks so much for this, it was REALLY helpful!

    Need some advice on funky taste with replaced coil...

    LOL! In short... yes. It's Butter Pecan, so it's about the color of, well, pecans, lol, and indeed, I do suck on it like a pacifier most of the time. ;) If brushing my teeth or cleaning doesn't work, I'm going to try that next! Thank you so much! A.

    Need some advice on funky taste with replaced coil...

    I'm supposed to clean it?? Now, why didn't the lady at the store tell me THAT??? Thank you so much for posting the video! I'd seen people mention cleaning, but I thought they were talking about one of the fancy setups that I'm not using. Another thing I noticed right about the time I started...

    Need some advice on funky taste with replaced coil...

    I didn't have this taste with the one that came in it, and right after I replaced it, my juice tasted great, like it did when I first got it... I replaced the coil maybe 4 hours ago. I keep it in my hand all the time, so I've been puffing on it basically constantly in that time... did I do...

    Need some advice on funky taste with replaced coil...

    Please excuse my lack of proper terminology here, but if it's not written on the box or the equipment, I don't know what any of this stuff is called. :) So, I have an e-Go-T, with an iClear 16. I just bought the iClear about a week ago, maybe less. I had to replace the coil today (the box...

    Belated Introduction

    Thanks for the advice on that, nmackan! It *is* cold & flu season, after all, and that is very good info to have! I didn't vape cinnamon before, I vaped a 20mg tobacco flavored juice (local mix, supposed to resemble marlboros). It was just the vapor when it hit my lungs, felt like they seized...

    Belated Introduction

    Well, I can smell the smoke ON him, but it doesn't bother me anywhere near as much as the actual smoke in the air does. Part of it was my disappointment when I realized that I was going to miss out on one of the benefits of not smoking that I was looking forward to... not smelling like a smoke...

    Hello from New Zealand! help with the analoges

    Well, it's been just shy of 4 days since I put them down, and today was the first day that my brain tried to convince me (halfheartedly and VERY briefly) that I wanted a 'real' cigarette, but they were tasting terrible before I put them down, in fact that's WHY I put them down, HOWEVER, they...
