    Weird Smell Coming From iTaste MVP

    Thanks, Cap'n. This is good. I'll get one of these. I'd seen the resistance meters with a 510 connection, but it never occurred to me to get the more basic kind. Will do.

    Weird Smell Coming From iTaste MVP

    Hey thanks jefsview - that's a great link. Much more comprehensive than the basic ohm's law calculator I was using.

    Weird Smell Coming From iTaste MVP

    Lazy is too strong a word. Frugal is more like it. Because I don't have unlimited funds to throw at this hobby, and must explain most purchases to my wife, I decided instead to be resourceful and make use of what I have. Since I have several old ego batteries I no longer use or care about, I...

    Weird Smell Coming From iTaste MVP

    During use, the body never gets hot. During charging, it gets a little warm, but not hot, per se. On charging, I did notice one very strange thing. When I use a different cable than the one that came with it, I feel a mild "vibration" if i very lightly run my fingers along the body. If I...

    Weird Smell Coming From iTaste MVP

    Hey folks, I bought an MVP (not sure which version, but it's got VV only, no variable wattage) a little more than 2 months ago, and I've been loving it. Recently, however, a really bad smell has been coming off of it. It's kind of an electronic smell; like a cross between burned gunpowder and...

    Overstock e-Cigs.com (Real Humans!)

    I got fed up with with getting DOA cartomizers from my regular supplier, so I decided to try one that is new to me: overstockecigs.com. It turned out that I had a problem with the order - there was a mixup in the warehouse and instead of the five 5-packs of cartomizers I thought I ordered, I...

    Favorite E-liquid...Just one

    Dark Vapure from FreedomSmokeUSA. I vaped for 1 year looking for the perfect all-day vape, bouncing from vendor to vendor. This is what I was looking for. It's really smoky, with an amazing throat hit (even at 18mg, which I'm vaping now). It tastes sweet with a hint of pepper and perfume...

    Hey Zachster, what did your dad think of the e-cig?

    Hey Chuck Dragon - welcome! I spend a lot of time in SJ myself (or Campbell, more specifically), since my folks and siblings are down there. On Monday, I went to the sharks game. I didn't want any static from the staff, so I went outside to vape. Coming back inside, this...

    24mg VG Juices for sale or trade

    Hey All, Back in late october, I ordered some juice from Mist-Stix. I stupidly ordered them all in VG, but it turns out that I just don't like VG at all. Each bottle is 30ml, 24mg nic strength. They're all opened, some have been used more than others, but below are the flavors and...

    When did you regain your sense of smell?

    Well, I'm finally getting mine back. It's coming back a lot more gradually than when it left, but that's OK.

    Hey, welcome to the forum. Sorry, I don't know about any retailers in the area. Too bad you're disappointed with the 510. What kind of kick are you missing? The hit in the back of the throat, or not enough nicotine? In either case, it could be the liquid. I also had to modify my...

    When did you regain your sense of smell?

    Hey Zack - I read that article before I started this thread. That's one of the things that made me freak out a little. But I think my senses are returning a little. It's just slow. I was hoping to wake up one morning and have a magical experience when they returned in full force. I guess...

    Poll: Monthly Meet & Greet?

    Hey y'all. A few of us got together this past weekend at the Edinburgh Castle in SF for a vapers' meet & greet. It was a great time with cool people in an awesome vaping friendly venue. It would be great to get this going on a monthly basis. If you're interested, please vote and let me know...

    Anyone interested in a e-smoker's meet and greet?

    That's a great idea. I'll get a poll going to see what's best for everybody.

    Anyone interested in a e-smoker's meet and greet?

    It was great meeting you, Leaford, Digital C, and anonymous lurker. Glad to shoot the ***** with some other vapers in the real, face-to-face world. For those who didn't attend - you missed out. Vaping in public, indoors, is pretty fun. We definitely got some stares, but no one bugged us...

    Anyone Here Get An Achy Chest From Vaping?

    I'm happy to report that the tight, achy chest feeling vanished a few days ago. In fact, the symptom disappeared so completely that I forgot to mention it to my doctor yesterday. I'm really glad to have my breathing back to normal - that had me pretty concerned. My doctor was pretty stoked...
