    Warm wishes to old friends and family...

    Don't get by here much these days--only to order bottles of 'green tea' occasionally--but I recently passed my 5-year mark and thought I'd check out the forum. Looks like V4L has all but abandoned it, a sad development and never a good sign of things to come. I do see some familiar faces here...

    Happy holidays, all! (with a few special nods)

    Friends, I don't get by as much these days since my vaping journey has led elsewhere, at least for now, although my wife maintains a steady diet of only VK diamond XL mans (red LED or bust) and prem green tea juice. But I do think of you all often, especially this time of year, and hope you're...

    The future of the USA juice line?

    Exactly three months ago, this issue arose and received the V4L crew's promises of upcoming clarification. Numerous posts since then have continued to raise the issue with no apparent resolution. Or maybe some of us have just missed it. To our beloved crew... Now seems like a good time to clear...

    Maintenance advice for a lazy guy?

    Hey all. I'm hoping for some advice that may apply to a few others as well. Really hate spending time working on ecig stuff, so I rarely do, and I'm wondering about the most basic maintenance--absolute minimum--needed to maintain my fatt batts and mega cartos. Batts: at the moment, I wipe off...

    Which flav was your cig-quit master?

    If you've quit cigs, more or less, which flav did you lean on most? For me, the flavs changed wildly and often while I sampled most of V4L's offerings in early 2010. My switch to VG came later, so everything was game at first. If I had to pick just one at the start, it would have to be...

    Your employer's take on vaping?

    One of my employers (100s of employees) is planning to outlaw any form of smoking on the premises in the near future. I was surprised to see e-cigs lumped into the list of banned items, so I recently sent a detailed email with attached research to the committee in charge of implementing the new...

    Great customer service here

    Just popped by to mention the great customer service I received today from Kevin. His guidance and follow-up support were among the best I've seen anywhere during my past 2+ years of purchasing vaping gear. Always a pleasure to buy from such respectable, knowledgeable folks.

    Keemer VG flavs

    Rob and all, I want to place a large order of the 0-nic Keemer VG juices (close-outs) and am wondering if anyone can ballpark the difference in flav between Winstin and Blend. Thanks. Never mind: I found an old thread and have placed the order.

    Something for your doc (research)

    In case you're newer to the forum... here's a link to a recent UC Berkeley/Boston U study on the role of e-cigs in tobac reduction: http://www.palgrave-journals.com/jphp/journal/v32/n1/full/jphp201041a.html I pass it along to anyone interested, including my docs, since the article's content...

    Still dealing with cigs?

    More than two years in, cigs have faded from my rear-view mirror. Hallelujah. Just curious about the rest of you. Do cigs still matter in your life?

    QuickTitan battery question

    Family, I need to order 3-4 batts for my wife today. She likes the VKs, jewel tips, but wants to try the Titans this time around (until she sits on them, drops them, or loses them). But anyone know if the WHITE Titans (manuals) come with RED tips? That's big for her. Thanks for any help.

    OT: Ecigs have made it to TED

    TED = Technology, Entertainment, Design. In case you didn't know or care, TED is a non-profit global organization that focuses on spreading 'ideas worth spreading' through public speaking. It's also the main hub for anyone interested in formal talks, and its site features presentations by...

    The PigCig has grown up

    More than two years of vaping here, and I’ve tried my share of gear. All of it 808-compatible. My search for a truly great battery (for a non-fanatic vaper) ended a year ago when I found the PigCig. Used four of the 650 model for the past year with excellent results and not a single prob...

    How to refill cartos in just seconds!

    Now that I have your attention, I have to admit that I know nothing. In fact, I hate refilling so much that I started this thread. I'm wondering who knows something I don't when it comes to refilling quickly with a syringe--the only good approach, IMO. Here's my dream: a refilling station with...

    Still want a cigarette?

    I don't. While sitting on my balcony now, enjoying a brisk post-rain afternoon with an XL-man in hand, I realized that I just don't have any craving whatsoever for a cig anymore. I never even think about cigs unless I'm unlucky enough to be near a smoker. (Damn, was that really me at one time...

    Anyone know a good article to give doctors?

    Just returned from my annual physical, and my doc (well known in town) seemed genuinely pleased, even surprised, that I haven't returned to cigs. Maybe it's my passing the two-year mark, but for the first time, he wanted to know more about vaping and how it might help his other patients who come...

    A special bond among vapers?

    I live in a small CA city, and I saw my very first 'public vaper' last night, sitting and smiling and vaping away enthusiastically just outside an upscale theater. I immediately liked her. Beyond the V4L Family, which we all adore, has anyone been seeing the vibe in public? Maybe feeling it...

    Lifespan of a typical battery?

    Just wondering if anyone knows. Some of my batts have died young after a serious fall, some have wandered off, and some seem to be ageless. But typically, long before any of my batts have died, I've simply moved on to a newer model in search of a more perfect vape. I'll bet I'm not alone in...

    Thanks to The Family

    My heartfelt thanks to our beloved V4L crew, especially Steve, and the same to this great forum. The Family. I've made it another year without cigs, and I find myself again reminded of how lucky I was to find this place at the start. No need to respond. Just thinking aloud as I hit a small...

    Any menthol lovers out there?

    OT... I'm sitting here vaping some Kona after being away from it for six months. Man, this stuff's good! Just like I remember it and definitely one of my fave few. Midway through a carto, this juice has purity and depth that I find stunning, like a fine wine. I'm convinced that much of Annette's...
