    The cloud chasing fad

    I'm the same way. I prefer my vape exhale to be more or less the same as exhaled cigarette smoke, so around 15% VG for me tops (and much of the time 0%). I rarely find myself in the company of other vapers and am drawing more from various posters I've seen on YouTube, but I wonder if this is...

    Box Mods - Can't Find on Site

    I wanted to stock up on the plain old VV box mods (pre-built, not kits) I've been using them for some time and can't seem to find them on the site anymore. Have you discontinued, or are my search skills off kilter? I've always thought they were a good way to go: basic and functional, maybe not...

    Pipe Talk - all makes, models, and designs

    Thanks, Nick. I was able to find out that one of the two e-pipes currently available from thevaporgirl.com is an auto model (the Phoenix). A blog post on the site also mentions that they're working with a Chinese vendor to develop a widely eGo clearo compatible pipe of some sort, but no ETA...

    Pipe Talk - all makes, models, and designs

    Apologies in advance for my approaching this thread via skimming and searching and perhaps missing posts that answer all my questions. I'm a fairly longtime vaper and before that a many-decades cigarette smoker who was always pipe-curious but never took the plunge. I've lately gotten an urge...

    Another poorly written article about e-cigs, on HuffPo

    The commenters are doing a really good job of squashing this one like a bug. This is not to say they couldn't use a little more help... :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

    LOL, indeed. Seriously, this may be the best non-nicotine advice I've ever read on this forum, as I have problems of this sort. Will try it soon. Thanks, paise!

    I think I've seen one somewhere with a break-even point. It probably just adds the question of how much one spends a month on vaping. I'm not sure how the coding works for building one. Maybe if I were to cop the image and base a new one on it with blank space for the math, it could be...

    Has anybody seen a "Still smoke, but way less" banner? Something like "Drastically cut down for 1000 days. Number of cigarettes avoided: 20,000..."

    You could mix two drops of one and one of another for an approximation of how two flavors might work together. I'm pretty sure I tried that a bit when I was dripping regularly. Of course it's only a rough approximation and you may end up wanting to do something more precise than two-to-one. The...

    I bought some of that Type M a while back because a dash of it was part of the recipe for what has been my daily vape for some time now. But I didn't like that heavy note of sweetness and have kept it out of my version of the recipe. Actually, it has a lot in common with that "Ashtray" flavor I...

    I've managed to cut back on a lot of the likely cues. Driving was not that bad a switch for me, maybe because for a year or two before started vaping I'd managed to cut back my smoking on my 45-minute commute from four or so to two. So allowing myself to vape constantly on the drive was an...

    I hear you, Shari. So many inventors and vendors are coming up with stuff and making it really enticing to try the latest thing--making it really hard to keep things simple. There are some real trade-offs. Whichever clearomizer you learn how to make not leak, coupled with a decent battery is...

    I haven't fooled with auto batts since my first cig-a-like vaping experience 3+ years ago (something called the "Firefly," I think it was). Have they improved? I seem to recall a way too short cut-off time being an issue. Are there ways to incorporate them with the various clearos of today? (I...

    OK, so my bottle of Ashtray from Parkes Vaping arrived yesterday. First and foremost, this is probably one that I should have set out to steep for a couple weeks, but curiosity overcame. My bottle was 24mg, 80/20 PG/VG (a little more VG than the 85/15 I usually mix for myself). Vaping through a...

    So sorry to hear this, Lori. Try and treat yourself well. Stop in and see us when you can. You know this thread is all about supportiveness.

    I can't believe I just pushed the button on a 30ml bottle of this, first vendor juice I've bought in over a year! But curiosity overcame me.

    Whichever way on the inhale one might do, beginning a nose exhale then just pausing for a couple or three seconds before finishing seems to do the job nicely.

    I'm surprised by the number of people on this forum who have mentioned that they do/did direct inhale. I think in all my decades hanging around countless other smokers, I've only know one or two who routinely smoked that way.

    Yow-- $12 for 10ML! My own DIY mix comes in at something like a dime per ml. Curious as I am to try WTA (very!), those are some powerful prices, even with a 10% coupon. I'm not saying they might be worth it, but it would kick up my liquid costs about 1000% percent. Plus, nothing available over...

    Pipe tobacco and Cigar extraction

    I just discovered this thread and am kind of fascinated. For about a year, I've been vaping little else than a variation of a recipe JimmiD (not sure I spelled that screen name right...) posted-- a combination of FA Latakia, Perique, and Dark Vapure (with some other stuff). Now I'm wondering...
