    Using dip tobacco like snus

    Has anybody tried this? I've used snus occasionally over the years. It didn't get me off the smokes, but I like it. (vaping got me off the smokes.) But living where I do, snus is hard to come by. Mail order only, and tax doubles the price. I live near an army base, though, so US smokeless...

    All RESed up again...

    Just got my new ceramic wick for my ultramax. VERY happy to be using the RES again. :-) Advice to everybody- the RES is a great system, it takes a little practice to use, but it's worth it. Consistent juice delivery, perfect flavor, never leaks. It's not as hard to break as I would have...

    More on ecig availability in Korea

    ...I was in technomart yesterday, and went to a few places that I've bought vape supplies before. Two were selling their remaining supplies and not planning to get more. (One of these two showed me the anti-ecig article on the Korea Herald website to explain why.) The Janty store seemed...

    Home plus

    I'm in Daegu for a bit, living near one of the big "Home Plus" stores. As I was wandering through the "geek section" (electronics), I was surprised to see a small selection of ecigs. Just an ego setup (with cartos of some sort, I think) and a couple flavors of Ruyan liquid. But the prices...

    European Parliament: "Smoking ban is for you, not for us."

    Safety, or effectiveness? What do we want to prove?

    This question has come up in my mind a lot as we've discussed clinical trials and ecig related research on a lot of threads. In future study of electronic cigarettes, what are the goals we want to see met? Investigation of the effectiveness of electronic cigarettes as a stop-smoking aid? Or...

    Got it! First impressions...

    So, I have my ultramax. A pain to get it here, but worth it. (See other thread for what a pain it was...) I'll try to do a little more complete review later on, but here goes for sharing first impressions. Others have gone on about packaging- I'm not into that. :-) but I have to say- it was...

    Sad.

    My new ultramax is just down the road. In the customs warehouse. And you wouldn't believe the number of stupid ****ing hoops it looks like I'm gonna have to jump through to get it. If I manage it, I'll let you all know how it goes... Ande

    More importing info...

    Just ordered a mod from the US, and am now working out how to get it through customs. :-) I'm a law-abiding tax-paying citizen; not gonna complain about paying what the law says. But I have to say that if they wanted to make this less convenient or more complicated, I can't imagine how they...

    Trigger pulled

    My new Ultramax has been purchased. :-) I've been vacilating on a mod buy for a while, and this just looks...very me. I've heard that they tarnish fairly easily, so I was hesitant. BUt then I saw a photo of a tarnished one in the classifieds, and frankly, it looks badass. Nothing wrong with a...

    Mod batteries in Korea?

    How widely available are they? Any of you who have battery mods here- do you order batts from overseas, or do you pick them up locally? I'm about to get my first mod, probably something simple that runs at 3.7v, mechanical, just to see how I like it. Guessing I'll like it better than the...

    Ever have a Jessy do this?

    Okay, as you guys know, I have a Jessy X, and I like it a lot. Hits harder, and gives more, better tasting vapor than ANY Ego-style PV I've ran into, bar none. It's the only thing I vape on. :-) I got my starter kit 4 months ago, and have been using the hell out of it. And loving it. I...

    Travel and Vaping Eliquid in checked baggage

    I'm in the US working for the summer- planning to return home in a couple of weeks. Eliquid in Korea, where I live, is extortionately expensive, so I'm thinking about taking...well. A LOT. Is it a problem to stick several big bottles in checked baggage? Or is there some sort of hazardous...

    Thanks guys!

    Just got my first order from FSUSA. Was running out of juice, so I'm feeling MUCH happier now. It took a week and a half, which from Tuscon to Seoul is pretty respectable. I now have an absolute pile of juice samplers, as well as a few bottles of faves. (Plus a sample of cherry pipe that...

    Best supplier for gear AND liquid

    Here's the thing- I'm far overseas, and have spent most of my life in one foreign country or another. (I'm American, but haven't spent time in the US for 15-20 years.) In Korea, my current home, ecig supplies are extortionate. Over the top. Cost an arm and a leg... So I've been ordering...

    Ordering from Freedom Smokes USA

    Just got my order! Wanted to let you all (I know you're lurking) know that ordering from FSUSA to your Korean address does work. Shipping costs $29.95 on all orders to Korea, so it's not cheap, but is cheaper than Korean mall prices. (Maybe more importantly, you also get killer juice, which...

    Where to get vaping stuff in Korea.

    Hi Everybody, I'm fairly new to vaping, living in Korea (Seoul sometimes, Daegu sometimes) and have found "getting stuff" in Korea to be one of the biggest challenges. I know I'm not the only one, so here goes. A second issue is that these things ARE taxed at import here, so not quite as cheap...

    HI! Sure is quiet round here...

    Come on- introduce yourselves. I know that I am not the ONLY English speaking vaper in Korea. I'm new to vaping, about 3 weeks. Using a 510 bought in Yongsan market, and it's going well. Awfully hard to find gear, supplies, options, and eliquid here though. And expensive. And I'm pretty sure...

    Ashtray?

    It may sound silly, but in the brief time I've been vaping, one thing I miss is my favorite ashray. So I cleaned it out and am using it as PV holder. As I type this, my E-cig is sitting in the ashtray, in the standard cig position, waiting for use. And somehow, it makes me feel good. (It...
