    93 million dollars

    The 15th birthday contest thread and its trip down memory lane resulted in me spending an hour reading some old threads I had participated in. This counter doo-hickey site which basically duplicates what many of us have in our signatures is one of the many things I found. We Vape - Global Money...

    Who is Kai's Virgin Vapor

    Did they buy out the old Virgin Vapor? Suddenly started receiving daily ads from them several days ago. Do not want that volume of mail and wondering if they are legit so I can simply un-subscribe. Bought stuff from Virgin Vapor a few times years ago, great company, great products...

    Phantus Mini - spare spring?

    Have two and no spare spring. Few days ago almost lost a spring, finally found it fully ten feet away! Started searching for a source for spares with little luck. Nothing even close on Amazon, tried both industrial suppliers MSC & McMaster. Slightly closer but not worth risking $12 plus unknown...

    Any Slashdot folks here?

    Thread on "E-Cigs Are Exploding In Vapers' Faces At An Alarming Rate" just appeared and is still on the main page. Need some help but please do not create an account just to reply. Older low numbered accounts get much more respect there. Mods, feel free to move this to a more appropriate sub forum.

    Editing blogs

    Previously, blogs like normal posts become non-editable after a period of time. Happy to discover I can again edit my blog!:) Is this a one time deal that came with the forum move? Or is it a permanent change? Can live with either way, just be nice to know.

    First coil - tuning for flavor advice wanted

    One of the on line vendors recently had a 'mod mystery box' for $40. Ended up with 454 Big Block RDA and a 4Nine clone. Picked up a charger, 2nd battery and a roll of 26 gauge kanthal at my local B&M. Then Sally Beauty for some rayon and was planing on Michale's for the rolling tool like in the...

    How does vaping actually change the taste of analogs?

    Seen it mentioned over and over here that after vaping for a variable period of time analogs start tasting 'nasty' to many (most?) people. Happened with my father in law after about two months. Has not yet happened with a coworker who vapes and still smokes. Think he has vaped over a year...

    Update: 78 year old FIL has quit smoking!

    Actually quit about two weeks ago but the wife and I had colds so we were not going inside their house to visit. Got a chance to talk with him today and he confirmed analogs were getting 'nasty tasting' the last few days before he quit. Not ready to try non tobacco flavors yet but is testing...

    Helping my 78 year old my father in law quit. Set him up with an Aspire K1 BVC Glassomizer, Vision Spinner 1300 and Regular USA Mix Tobacco Flavor juice 50/50 PG/VG 24 mg nicotine. A never smoked relative had previously set him up with Blu's from Walmart. Those state "13 / 16 mg" on the package...

    Second best supplier for organic E-Liquid?

    Second best because Virginvapor only offers three pack samples and then only in 100% VG. Hoping for at least ten flavor samples and 50/50 PG/VG. Was very disappointed in how little taste there is with straight VG. Searching this forum for "Organic E-Liquid" gets a bunch of hits. This is just a...

    Gave my father in law his present a day early. Aspire K1 BVC Glassomizer, Vision Spinner 1300 and Regular USA Mix Tobacco Flavor juice. Showed him how with our rig then watched him assemble his and take three small hits. Said it was much more satisfying than the Blu's he had tried. Has nine more...

    Zero nicotine safe for X smokers?

    Wife and I have been smoke free for five+ years (quit on tax day, April 15th 2009!) and no longer miss smoking in any way except the proverbial 'cigarette after'. Wondering how safe it would be for us to try 0 nicotine vaping? During a previous try at quitting about 15 years ago we shared a...
