    How do you define "advanced vaping"?

    I may catch heat for this, but what the heck. I don't like the term "advanced vaper". If you are vaping, you are a vaper, period. People use big battery or little battery devices, use expensive or cheap equipment, use different coils - whether bought or made, use different ohm levels, use...

    Those who are vaping 5+ years

    I started vaping October 2010 and quit a 33 year smoking habit. 9 years and I have no intention of quitting vaping. Lots has changed since I started, both the gear and the community, but my gratitude towards this amazing technology has not. ;)

    Jugheads

    No he hasn't, the original Jughead is still the owner and operator. He's also a farmer so chances are he's really busy out on the fields at this time of year.

    I'm bored with vaping...

    I'm not so much bored after all this time, I just slipped into a groove where I'm happy with my equipment and my e-liquids and no longer need to chase the shiny's. I had momentary panic earlier this year when I discovered that my tank is now discontinued everywhere, I hunted around and...

    PG sensitivity - Kidney/flank ache.

    PG is a known humectant which means that it pulls moisture out of your body. It also breaks down into lactic acid making your muscles feel sore, similar to runner's cramps. I am a high pg vaper. The only time my kidneys start hurting is when I've not been drinking enough water. Once I top...

    The Fifth Estate Documentary on Vaping and E-cigarettes

    While they mainly focussed on Big Tobacco wanting to enter the Canadian market this documentary was pretty balanced in it's approach. They got a couple things wrong, of course, but I'm pretty pleased with what they accomplished. The Fifth Estate posted the replay for anyone who missed it...

    Anyone have problems vaping menthol?

    I haven't heard about what you've experienced before DC. I don't know how long you smoked for but maybe there's some smoking damage to your lungs that gets exacerbated by the menthol? I have used Halo's menthol ice as well (love it) - there is a LOT of menthol in there. I am coming up on 6...

    shortness of breath

    Cut out the high vg and go back to a 50/50 - see if that makes the difference. Not everyone can tolerate a high vg.

    am i allergic to PG

    There may be a couple of things you can try. First, drink more water. Not pop, not coffee, water. You may just be dehydrated. Second, try turning down the wattage a bit as you may be vaping too hot which can irritate your throat. You are vaping a low pg juice so I am pretty sure it's not an...

    Greasy Hair all of a sudden? Long Time Vapers/Women able to comment?

    I have been vaping for almost 5 years and have not ever had any problems with greasy hair. Perhaps you may want to have a doctor visit and get some testing done. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    One last thing keeping me from quitting...taboo incoming

    It took me about six weeks to give up smoking completely and switch over to vaping. Like you I was still smoking a few a day and just could not make that mental leap to stop. For me, smoking was a very large part of my life. Everything in my life for 33 years revolved around my smoking, it...

    I remember back in the day...

    Wow, thanks everyone for that walk down memory lane. I remember my first 510 kit, I still have it somewhere .... There is only one thing I don't miss about those days and that was when the hi-ping method failed and you ended up with juice everywhere.

    Wanting to Know if Making Good Choices....

    My question to you is this - if you are not smoking using such a low nic, why do you want to go up? Are you still craving? Or something else? The iTaste VV's are great little batteries and are a good purchase. I don't know a good deal about the CE clearo's except that most people find they...

    need some guidance old school orignial vaper here

    Well, for starters can you tell me what kind of battery life are you interested in? And does it have to be big or small or does size matter? I would suggest getting an aspire nautilus mini for a topper if you want something smaller - you can control your air flow to make a tighter or looser...
