    I'm bored with vaping...

    Glad to hear I'm not the only one who feels this way. I, too, have made my own juice for quite some time and am now at the point where I'm considering trashing the majority of my flavorings. The newest and greatest equipment doesn't get m,e excited at all. Seems like most of the new devices are...

    RDAs Wear Out?

    Everything is clean and well-connected. Could possibly be the o-rings, but I've used up the supply that came with the RDAs and haven't been able to find any that fit correctly. Hoping that I might be able to use the o-rings from the replacement RDAs I ordered to repair the ones I have.

    RDAs Wear Out?

    Does an RDA ever wear out? I have a couple of Tobeco Velocity 1:1 clones that I've been using for about three years. One of them seems to be dying on me. Seems no mtter how I wick it or how many watts I'm using, vapor production and flavor have both dropped. I have some cheap Velocity coming...

    Is it possible that you ordered button-top batteries instead of flat-tops?

    EuroFlavors - YUM!

    Nude Nicotine started carrying a new line of concentrated flavorings, EuroFlavors (EF), a few months ago and I finally got around to ordering a few flavors to try out. I am not an employee of either company and I'm not being paid monetarily or otherwise for my opinions, so I feel I'm completely...

    Dreaming About Smoking

    I had a TERRIBLE dream last night. It even woke me up it was so bad. The worst part about it, on reflection, was that I was smoking in the dream and had to go back into a bad situation because I had forgotten to pick up my pack of cigs! I'm coming up on four years that I've been smoke-free, and...

    Complexion

    Since vaping dehydrates your body to some degree, it only makes sense that it would also dry out the skin on your face, which could lead to complection problems. Stay hydrated, especially in the winter when air is often so dry anyway.

    Blood pressure

    Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor and it WILL increase your blood pressure IN THE SHORT TERM. As an old fart, I take my blood pressure every morning and every evening. I take it first thing in the morning, before I've had a vape, and every evening. In the evening I wait about an hour after a vaping...

    funy pics - Part 2

    Actually, since it's bagpipe music and I assume it's talking about Scotch, it should be spelled "Whisky," without the "e."

    Flavoring without PG or VG

    Nude Nicotine carries PG-free flavorings and they're quite good and very concentrated. Some have at least partial VG as the base, but most are alcohol and water based. Definitely worth the money.

    Nicotine and atherosclerosis

    Listen to your doctor! Nicotine is definitely a vasoconstrictor and can aggravate any artery disease. I have coronary artery disease, very aggressive, and my doctor told me to get completely off nicotine. I vaped 0 mg for a while, but have since gone up to 3 mg in spite of what my doctor said...

    Liquid in lungs

    I also experience considerable drainage, particularly right after a vape session. I seriously doubt that you are coughing up fluid from your lungs, since that would be pneumonia (but see a doctor about that). Mine is post-nasal drainage which can still be very aggravating. If you're a...

    Scottish vapour, saying hello.

    Welcome, @collywolly! Glad to have you here. I, too, have Scottish ancestry (last name is Campbell). My 4th Great-grandfather was born in Glasgow in 1740 and came to the US! Make yourself at home here.

    Best cotton

    For me, the best cotton isn't cotton - it's rayon. Five hundred feet cost about $15 at Sally Beauty Supply. Each six-inch piece makes seven or eight wicks, doesn't burn easily and has very little taste other than from your juice. Of course, this post could start a whole 'nother argument!

    Correlation?

    Yes, I've noticed that any new member with an obviously female name tends to get more responses. I suppose we're all (or at least almost all) a bunch of sexist pigs.
