    Discussing the NicoStick

    This is a great-looking mod, and I'm very eager to try it out. I've decided to use the threaded end from a 401 atomizer to use for my 510 atomizer connection (since I had one around). Can anyone suggest a good way to remove the center connector without ruining the little grommet separating it...

    A germ-killing vapor

    Oh, absolutely...I wouldn't make any authoritative claim to that effect. Mainly, for me, it was just a little source of potential comfort in the face of building fears about this new flu strain.

    A germ-killing vapor

    I was reading a thread on another forum about the latest swine flu fears and remembered this thread. Any other vapers taking consolation in these findings of PG's germ-killing properties? A slightly related anecdote: it seems like everyone at the office has been sick lately, and I felt like I...

    Replacing cartridge wool

    That's only been a problem for me with the salmon-flavored juice...the little buggers are always swimmin' upstream on me. :-D

    Box mods

    Sweet! Thanks for sharing that...I got one of those as a present several years ago, and it's just been collecting dust since then. Not for long!

    Teabag Method with M401?

    Quick follow-up: I've noticed some talk about using only tea bags free of "unnatural" substances. As far as specific brands, I've only heard confirmation on Lipton bags. Anyone know about other brands? I'm hoping I can use my aging box of Celestial Seasonings stuff, but I'm willing to shell...

    DIY & Repair: Local Resources

    For any DIY liquid folks, I was able to find Wilton glycerine at Michael's in the cake decorating aisle. Also, if you're in Dallas, Cake Carousel (75 and Arapaho) has a ton of LorAnn flavorings in their candy area, and they also carry Wilton.

    Location for a Meetup?

    Thanks for the invite, y'all! Just logged in and saw the notification... I like the suggestion for Waco (mainly since it's close and I spent my college days there), but the suggestion to map out a central location is great, too.

    Eliquid Recipes

    Thanks, Sun...if I'm looking to make a mix with only VG, flavoring, and distilled water and/or alcohol, what proportions would you suggest?

    Eliquid Recipes

    Yeah, it's definitely thick stuff! In a misguided attempt to be all uber-precise, I initially tried drawing some VG up into a syringe...it didn't end well.

    Eliquid Recipes

    Is anyone else having trouble making good-tasting VG-based zero-nic juice? I picked up some Wilton's VG, along with a ton of Lorann flavors (thanks to Kate for the recommended "safe" flavors, BTW). I've based my "experiments" on Kate's suggested formula, with VG substituted for PG and e-liquid...

    Video Submission Guidelines

    Just wanted to echo the support...this is a great idea! I'd actually been planning to do a little video diary of me starting out with the e-cigs beginning on day one (which will hopefully be soon, depending on shipping!), mainly for friends and family. Would this be something you'd be...

    Thanks, ML! Steph: good to hear your experience with Steve was a positive one! Then again, based on the buzz around here, it seems like that's to be expected...sounds like he's truly top-notch.

    Taking the plunge...looking forward to my 901!

    After lurking here a bit over the weekend, I'm sold on the e-cig idea! I put in my order yesterday with Steve at PureSmoker for the 901 with an extra atomizer and some liquid. Anyway, just wanted to say hi and thanks to all of you for your contributions here! It's really helped me get a...
