    G4 versus Sapphire Bud: new generation carto/clear smackdown

    I had two packages arrive from the east coast (despite my best intentions not to order anything this week). One box of G4's (http://www.shop.goodprophets.com/product.sc?productId=235&categoryId=34)from Goodprophets, one box from GotVapes, of their new Sapphire Bud (link...

    Sapphire Bud v. G4 impressions (plus strawberry chocolate)

    I rec'd my sapphire bud cartos today, along with a bottle of chocolate covered strawberry, 15mg, pg/vg blend. Before the mail arrived I was vaping COV CY4, 16mg, on a G4 from goodprophets, which I mention because it colors this review a bit. First off, don't panic, Chris - I love the bud...

    Numb, tingly hands, funny electric shock feeling when you bend your head to your chest?

    I'm not soliciting advice on this one - I am under a doctor's care. Just trying to find out if anyone has/had the following symptoms and getting all the buzzwords in: Numb and tingly / numbness & tingling in hands, feet, torso - anywhere, really Odd feeling kind of like having a layer of...

    Yuck, what's going on with my attys??

    My trusty attys - two regular resistance 510's attys from myfreedomsmokes that I've used on and off for a month taste terrible - that burnt, nasty taste, so I cleaned and dry-burned one and it was great. About two days later, it's total crap again. :( So I rotated in a brand new lr joye and...

    I've ordered numerous times and never written a review for some reason - I don't know WHY because every time I've ordered the transaction has been smooth as silk, inexpensive, and SUPER fast. Thanks, Chris - you're doing a GREAT job! Best Electronic Cigarettes - Freedom Smokes Inc.

    Nic and B12

    OK, I'm dragging up an old post I found by searching for Bell's Palsy on the boards... For the last month I've been experiencing numbness and tingling from the neck down. No other symptoms. I've baffled one doctor sufficiently to have moved onto another (with the next step being a...

    Industry Concerns

    Let's try this. Without bashing, without calling anyone rude, without hopping up on a soapbox (well, you can, just kick it over to someone else when you're done)... Where do you think the e-cigarette industry needs to improve, or what issues would you like to see addressed? Please keep in...

    Nose bleeds... the heck?

    OK, this is getting ridiculous. For the last month and a half I have been getting nosebleeds at a minimum of every other day. It's getting to a point where I'm starting to think it's time to quit vaping. (I've cut down to anywhere between zero and 6mg nicotine, so I'm not going back to...

    Purevapes Lemon Cream Puff

    Let me walk everyone through my experience with this juice. Package arrives in two days from KY to TX thanks to Nik's superfast shipping and the gods of such things (aka, the post office). I tear it open (with my teeth, what, you don't?) and out of four bottles of juice, this is the one I...

    Backwoods Brew Strawberry, Peach

    Finally getting around to my formal review of these two. They're both at 12mg, and both vaped on my eGo passthrough battery, regular atty and dripped and on a cart (more on that later). I took a sniff and expected one of these: Uh-oh. Not promising at all. WRONG, missy! I took my first...

    Another ethics question. (Warning, diacetyl related, enter at own risk.)

    I've got a bunch of bottles of juice I personally do not wish to vape - some specifically because they contain or may contain diacetyl, and some because I have qualms about turning someone onto a juice vendor I don't feel entirely comfortable with. Personally, I'm not entirely sure I want...

    Backwoods Brew Malty Toffee

    I've been giving little bits and pieces of a review of this juice all over ECF today, so it's time to sit down and give a full review. This is backwoods brew malty toffee in 12mg, 15ml bottle for $9. What a rookie mistake - don't bother with the smaller bottles, go big or go home. This is my...

    Diacetyl Containing Liquids Safety Discussion

    Looks like we'll have to keep this going elsewhere. So, here! The "anti-diacetyl" thread was shut down in the middle of a discussion per the thread starter's request, and the *other* diacetyl thread is getting unmanageable size wise, so I figured a new one couldn't hurt. Please remember, as...

    So this is what I just don't understand.. Why hasn't Big Tobacco jumped in?

    The products are easy to manufacture - from PV's to juices. BT has the sway politically & financially to make vaping a viable alternative to smoking, and there's no reason to assume they would not rake in money hand over fist. Additionally, this is a product which could help them to promote...

    Y'know what I hate? Tobacco flavors. So, y'know what I LOVE? yeah...

    fsusa's American Spirit. Are you SERIOUS? This is AWESOME. Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot. I thought I was done with tobacco flavors. They weren't my cuppa. They reminded me of analogs. They just weren't.. uh, good. But for some reason (Jack Daniels single barrel?) I decided to drip a...

    Freedomsmokeusa - What's great w/out steeping?

    So many of their flavors go from good to sublime with a little time, but in your experience, what's consistently really good (aging to possible greatness later is assumed!) right out of the box? (Free samples don't apply, I think those may have already had some steeping time because they are...

    Wretched to Wonderful: Irish Cream from Freedomsmokeusa.com

    I realize my title is a bit on the sensational side, but that's on purpose - how many times have you picked up a brand new bottle, took a sniff, loaded up & excitedly taken a drag of some new flavor and thought "OMG, what did I just put in my mouth???" (Hold the "that's what she said!" jokes...

    Best of both worlds: Perfect pina colada

    It strikes me as flatout weird that one of my favorite vapes is pina colada, but it is. The thing is, I have one I love from freedomsmokeusa that is more pineapple-y, while the bottle of vaporbomb was maybe a little more coconutty. Not anymore. I mixed them today and am in heaven - all I...

    A new religion (chatty stuff)

    I've been so out of the loop lately - Merry Meet to our newer members! - because we've been busy being indoctrinated into the cult of Texas A&M University and their Corps of Cadets. (Pagan mom raises multiple TAMU Students; Story at 11!) OMG, talk about a religion unto itself, and I'm drinkin'...

    Vaporstation

    I'll review a few of the ten bottles (!!! - it's one of the sample kits) I have a bit later this week maybe, but before I do that.. what is up with these :censored: bottles? They're glass bottles, meaning you can't squeeze them, you just have to patiently wait for the little bubble that forms...
