    Atty Maintenance

    I used to be big on cleaning out my atties on a regular basis but over the course of these 5 months I've realized the best way to maintain them is to only clean when they really need it. Clean it too much and you're liable to break it. I've been running one of the standard resistance 510...

    Walgreens Disposable Blu Cigs

    I have a friend who works as an assistant manager at Walgreens. She was telling me the other night that her store will be selling an e cig within the next few weeks as well. She had no idea about the branding but I'm guessing it will be the same one. They're probably still rolling these out...

    organic juice

    I'm not huge on the whole organic food fad, but honestly Vaperite and VirginVapor are two of my favorite juice companies. Not necessarily because they have organic and natural juice lines but simply because their juice is some of the best I've tried so far. Both Todd and Annette really take...

    So how much did it *really* cost you to get going with this?

    I definitely caught the new hobby mania during the first 3 months as well! When I first started back in april I wasn't sure if this e-cig was going to do it for me so I came in with the mindset of not investing too much money. I did a lot of research on here and made a decision to jump in...

    Wow!... I have spent a lot of money!

    *points to sig* Yep, I know that feeling all too well. :tongue: But on the brighter side, I haven't purchased anything in over a month now. I'm stocked up with juice, an eGo and an e-power, 2 DIY box mods, along with replacement attys, batteries and cartos. Every week I'm inching closer...

    Let's Tax E Cigs like they are regular Cigarettes!

    Done. Did they really have to throw this in with funding for special needs education? I mean I agree those kind of programs need funding but come on, that's a little bit of a low blow. First of all I find it absolutely ridiculous that juice and lozenges are going to be taxed at an...

    Have you had USPS open your package?

    I have had one of those flat rate boxes come to my mailbox opened and sloppily taped back up. They basically ripped the sticky flap in half trying to open it, so I assumed only usps would do something so half-assed.:facepalm: Everything was fine inside so I didn't mention anything, wasn't a...

    batteries - am I doing something wrong?

    I'm not familiar with the Bartleby, so I can't comment on that. But I've had my Joye eGo since april 22 and I re-charge the batteries everyday. Four months later both batteries still hold a charge nearly the same as they did on day one... so yah, I'm gonna have to agree with tj on that one...

    is there anyway to revive a carto once it pops and stops working?

    If it's not heating up anymore, the wire probably popped... sorry but that carto is good as dead. You can try wiping down the connector on the carto and battery and see if maybe you just weren't getting a good electrical connection, but it's unlikely.

    Juice Dilema

    Buy a doubler of the same flavor with zero nic. Mix the two bottles together to get the same flavor with the desired nic content. For 12mg, mix equal portions 24mg juice with 0mg juice. For 18mg mix 1 part 0mg nic with 3 parts 24mg. Hope this helps!

    Favorite Morning Flavor??

    I was just about to come in here and post the same thing lol. This is my absolute morning staple along side my cup of coffee. :2cool: Lately Boba's has been making an appearance in my morning mix as well.

    Calling all "young" vapers!

    25 here. Started smoking socially at 16, and quickly got up to a PAD after I hit 18. Smoked for about 8 years before my girl nagged me into checking out e-cigs this spring. Long story short, haven't smoked a single cig since I got my eGo April 22!

    The days of old cleansed with the days of new

    Started out with Virginia Slims I would sneak from my mom's pack and bring to parties every once in awhile. First cigs I would buy consistently were cloves, but after I started smoking more often I needed something cheaper for my broke 16 year old .... Enter the Camel Turkish Jades, loved...

    Can vape set off a smoke alarm?

    There was a hilarious thread on here a few weeks ago about a dude who was trying to show off to his friends at work that vaping didn't set off smoke alarms. Long story short, he was wrong, and ended up making the whole office evacuate the building. Apparently it only will set it off if the...

    Vaping while intoxicated?

    Like others I once loved smoking at bars and clubs, now I love taking those deep pulls and blowing out clouds. I always make sure to bring a carto or two of a strong menthol/mint when I go drinking. A carto because I fail terribly at dripping while intoxicated and a strong menthol because it...

    eGad! Information overload

    If you're using a cig sized 510, then you probably want to go with the EM Standard resistance atomizer on that page. LRs don't work well on small capacity batteries like the cig sized units. At worst they could damage the battery, at best you're going to blow through the charge on the battery...

    Joye 510 - cartomizers?

    I use Boge 510 cartos exclusively. So far they've been excellent in terms of quality. Like other's have said, stick with the standard resistance cartos as LR cartos can damage the low mAh batteries. Pay particular attention to Dormouse's instructions for filling if you have an auto...

    Wow. Lots of info on this forum!

    That's pretty much average for your standard mall kiosk rip off kits. They prey on people who don't know any better because of the lack of exposure to this hobby. Hell I almost fell for a $130 E9 kit in April when I first started based off of blog "reviews" (*cough* affiliates) on the...
