    Can I drink the juice?- All equipment failed...

    [sigh] I'm feeling pretty much "done" with the whole e-smoking thing right now. 1 bum usb-passthrough, I bought 10 atomizers and 5 died within about 1 week and the others never worked at all. I have one piece of 2mg nicotine gum that some guy gave me at a bar a few weeks ago when I introduced...

    Can I drink the juice?- All equipment failed...

    Okay, I know this sounds crazy, but I'm wondering if I could put a couple drops of juice into a glass of water. I just purchased about $200 worth of equipment and it all failed within 2 months (from bestecig). So I've been smoking again for the last 2 weeks and promised my wife I'd try and...

    des901 vs a bunch of other ecigs.

    I like this thread. I was fortunate enough to find this forum and decide on a pingonlines dse901b as my first personal vaporizer. I was also a pretty tame smoker (around 7-10 a day, but an unbreakable habit). Well I immediately decided this was perfect for me, bought $200 worth of backup...

    A weird problem- the atomizer?...

    I just looked inside and the wick seems to be protruding normally. Also, I just got that crap taste again. YUCK! And it still came with lots of vapor, just gross.

    A weird problem- the atomizer?...

    yes, a burnt taste. I only see one hole in the atomizer. I should also mention that I top-off and drip and my carts have always still been moist. however sometimes, when I open it and drip, it functions properly again. it's almost as if the wick isn't properly absorbing the liquid from the...

    A weird problem- the atomizer?...

    So I'm not sure what's going on. I have my dse901b hooked up sometimes to a battery and sometimes the usb passthrough. Every once-in-awhile, it doesn't produce the same vapor and taste like utter sh*t. Then it will start working again. I should note that this is happening only with the new...

    What about the kids?

    My daughter just turned 2. She has never seen me smoke and I don't intend on ever letting her see me vape. This may sound funny, but I DO have a strategy when I need some nic and I'm with her. I put her in her big jogging stroller, extend the umbrella, and go for a walk. I did this with...

    What to expect?- Bestecig order "handed over to customs"

    So it looks like it was released from customs. YEAH! I guess I was just paranoid because of all of the customs problems that have been occurring lately. Here's what my shipment record looks like so far: Timing Site Status   2009-03-02 17:00:00 XIAMEN Posting   2009-03-02 19:37:08...

    Yeah Sun, this was my bulk order. 2 usb passthroughs, 10 atomizers, 5 batteries, spare cartridges, etc. I'll keep you all posted.

    "Saying, 'I apologize' and 'I'm sorry' mean the same thing... unless you're at a funeral" I love his style of humor. He's dry, clever, and always hyper-self-aware.

    USB Passthrough

    Yeah, they exist for sure. I have one from my old pda that I'm planning on using to connect my usb passthrough to the wall outlet (also have a connection for the cigarette lighter).

    What to expect?- Bestecig order "handed over to customs"

    My order says that it arrived in the USA ("LAXA" with I assume is LAX Airport). The last notice from yesterday says, "Handed over to customs". Should I be worried or is this standard? I ordered about $200 worth of stuff (1 bottle of 36mg juice, but the rest is hardware). ugh!

    Good question- I'm also just a couple weeks old (counting in e-cigarette-forum time). But I hate this kind of stuff on the other forums I frequent...

    Ban drlongjon?

    Let me suggest that you check out his profile and find his posts. The context for his enthusiasm simply is not there. It's one thing to support a seller or product, but I think this is obviously beyond objective excitement and much more likely in the realm of self-interest.

    Ban drlongjon?

    I'm relatively new here and love the community. I've just noticed this guy's comments in a bunch of threads and they all seem like irrelevant comments intended to boost sales for Red Dragons (perhaps he's a supplier). I find it disrespectful to the community. If I'm wrong, I apologize (but if...
