    I just joined to beg for your advice.

    Hello! I've certainly tried the Blu and was not impressed. The Johnson Creek liquid was OK but the device is lacking. Certainly not something that would convince one to migrate away from analogs. I recommend an EGO with some sort of clearomizer setup. I just purchased a kit for my brother from...

    Why does my throat hurt?

    When I vaped 100% PG the same thing would happen to me. Was looking for major throat hit and got it. I switched to 50:50 PG:VG and adjusted to the diminished TH. Good luck moving away from combustion!

    Hello Community!

    Thank you! I was never a pack-a-day smoker unless adult beverages were involved and have probably smoked less than a pack total in the past year or so. Vaping is way more compatible with my outdoor hobbies.

    Hello Community!

    Totally understand your caution around high % nicotine. I've been playing with ratios for a while and landed on 50:50 PG:VG at ~25mg nic. I've been vaping unflavored rather exclusively but am planning on experimenting with some flavors.

    Pictures of your setup

    Hello! I just received the eVIC today and have been pleased so far. The stats it keeps are amazing. I've had a few issues with the Tesla not powering certain atomizer/tank setups but I believe I have resolved them. Appears to be due to the "springyness" of the connector pin. If ruggedness and...

    Hello Community!

    Hello DJ RyckRak! There certainly is synthetic nicotine. Many elegant total synthesis do exist for it in the chiral, S-nicotine form. The problem is that these methods are extremely expensive to produce on scale. Around $300/gram. It's much more cost effective to extract s-nicotine from tobacco...

    Protank sucks!

    You can't go wrong with a Vivi Nova. Either option would be a step up from the Ego-T tank/atomizer combination. I found that the Ego-T's worked great for about a tank or two then the wick would get clogged and the draw would require a huge amount of force. Not the case with the tanks I've used...

    Protank sucks!

    That sucks OP. I've been really enjoying mine and not had any leaking issues. Produces huge amounts of vapor and I like how easy the draw is. Dig my Vivi-Nova too but it is a much tighter draw. Good Luck

    Tesla Issue and possible resolution

    I've had a Tesla for a few months now (Thanks Linc!) and have been quite pleased overall. However, upon extended usage, I've noticed that it just would not power certain atomizer/clearomizer/tank combinations and ones that it previously had. It would give sub-1 ohm readings for resistance and...
