    VG needs more flavour - but how much more?

    Hello! I've been doing quite some DIY, but usually with mostly PG juices, since I by far prefer those. However, I had a few requests for VG juices, and now I have a flavouring problem. VG based liquids definitely need more flavour, but how much more? Is there anything like a rule of thumb for...

    Durability of Joye eGos and eGo-class PVs

    Elsewhere, there was a heated debate about the relative durability of eGos and eGo-class PVs. Since the eGo-class PVs are quite common here, I thought I'd do a poll. This poll is about the batteries only, since the atties/cartos are mostly interchangeable, anyway, and their durability depends a...

    Italian study - "not harmful" and "no side effects"

    I was pointed to this Italian press release, which sounds very good (although somebody who actually speaks Italian might want to confirm the Google translation): This is coming after a few extremely nasty articles in the Italian press yesterday, which pretty much stated that vaping was at...

    510 E2 r4 XL - to EUROPE

    Hello! I'm looking to buy some of the various ones with different Ohms of those, but all I can find are 3,0+Ω ones, which is more than annoying. e-liquid.cn is out of the question - they demand you buy at least 100, which would mean 400 cartos if I'd want to try out all versions. No way a...

    Any chance of HC stocking e2 cartomizers?

    Is there any chance that Health Cabin will be stocking Royalsmokers e2 cartomizers? In Europe, I'm lucky if I can get two different ones from one vendor (and there are more), in China, I'd have to order 100 and get EMS shipping into the bargain. (Expensive and annoying to Germany.) And the...

    Three Vanillas from Flavourart

    Flavourart, the Italian flavour maker, has three different types of Vanilla, and they are quite different indeed: My personal favourite is Vanilla Bourbon, which really and truly tastes like a vanilla bean. For flavouring, I use 5% of it. It also goes perfectly with several other flavours, my...

    Please state the maker

    Hallo! If you post here, be so kind to tell us - preferably in the title already - who the maker of the flavour you review is. Because if it is not in the review at all, the whole review is pretty useless, because almost all flavours are available from various makers. And it would be neat...

    Customs and nicotine in Europe

    I thought maybe this is a good place to collect and discuss this. I know in Germany customs confiscate any nic juice at customs, although I can buy it perfectly legally inside Germany and from other EU countries. Switzerland has only a few days ago upped the legal limit for self-import...

    Germans to the front! :D

    Finally a European forum! (Just why did I never ask?) Now we just need to get it going :laugh: I know there are a few more Germans in this forum, where are they?

    E2 510 revisions?

    Hello! I'm not the greatest fan of cartomizers in the world, but since what I dislike most about them was that burning filling, I tried the E2 cartomizers, and they work quite fine. I am however utterly confused about the various revisions of them, and the 2nd Edition Cartomizer thread is so...

    How long did it take you to stop smoking?

    Each time the subject comes up, many people chime in with stories about how they had their last analog the day their PV arrived. Which is great, of course, but puts a bit of pressure on the Newbies. Because obviously, that is not the case for everybody. So here's a poll. It's obviously just...

    Which PV do you recommend to a newbie?

    I am fully aware of the discussions about the relative merrits of this PV vs. that PV. However, I am curious about the numbers here: If you would have to recommend to strangers exactly one type of PV as their very first PV, which one would you choose? For example, if you explain vaping to a...

    My quite personal KR8 review

    I know, wall of text. But if you are interested in the subject, you might find it worth the while. At least I hope so. The KR8 and yours truly: That's not a marriage made in heaven. In fact, it's more of a meeting of two strangers in the night, not really expected to meet again. Not until...

    Feeling guilty before and after

    This is just a quick one to test a hypothesis of mine. Said hypothesis is that vapers feel a lot less guilty about vaping than they did about smoking. (BTW, I also think the same is true for people who switch to smokeless tobacco.) A person or group that feels permanently guilty is of course...

    Got my KR8 … Uhm?

    Hello there! I got the KR8 I ordered because I wanted to see what the fuss is about. Otherwise, I am very happy with my 510 and the occasional 901, thank you very much. As I had never tried a KR8 before, I have a question: The vape out of that thing is so hot, it nearly burns my lips and...

    Mad Mod-Mania? Or am I just being stubborn?

    Hi there! I have a bit of a problem in another (different language) forum, where there are many many people who use mods. Which is fine, only, and unfortunately in my opinion, they tell everybody pretty much that you cannot really vape without one. They even tell this to complete Newbies, and...

    Is vaping all you need?

    Recently, I hit a wall with vaping. I have cut down analogs to zero, and I intend to keep it that way, but there was something missing. Check my recent posts, but long story short: I now use (a little) snus with my vapes, and that did do the trick. I also noticed that I am not alone in having a...

    To snus or not to snus?

    Hi there! I have a bit of a problem. I have been vaping now, analog-free, since November 28. Worked fine, but somehow, while I did not crave an analog, I did crave something. Until I remembered some really old boxes of snus (a previous attempt to cut down analogs) in the fridge. When I...

    Hello from Cologne!

    Hello everybody! Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself briefly: I'm Alex, 42, from Cologne, Germany. I smoked pyros for almost 30 years. (Yeah, I did start young.) I had vaguely looked into vaping for a few months, but the whole matter seemed rather complicated and initially...
