    Open enrollment Tobacco affidavits, now no E-cigs too?

    Seriously? My own doctor told me that nicotine alone isn't much different than caffeine, and we are very cavalier about coffee and soft drinks. Will they be testing for that next? Wouldn't want anyone on the job under the influence of those big bad stimulants....brings new meaning to the word...

    Open enrollment Tobacco affidavits, now no E-cigs too?

    So it seems the consensus is that most companies have still not added e-cigarettes to their list of no-nos, but I am obviously not alone and this is a trend being leaned toward...I made a copy of our affidavit before we sent it back, I was considering sending it in to CASAA to be looked at...

    Open enrollment Tobacco affidavits, now no E-cigs too?

    For the last 5 or 6 years, our insurance has had a tobacco "surcharge" on health insurance premiums. They used to just take our word for it and we had to sign something or pay the fees, and everyone just assumes that if you lie and then get sick on a tobacco related illness you won't be...

    E-Power battery changes/charges are weird...

    I cannot replace the switch, this is a one-piece unit. I know what you guys are talking about. I had a Kgo before, the switch screwed onto the tube on top of the battery. This isn't like that. The unit only runs $20-25, so I can replace if I have to. A partially charged battery works every...

    E-Power battery changes/charges are weird...

    I clean the outside connection with a Q-tip regularly because these Stardusts leak pretty often, but I have never cleaned the connection inside the tube that meets the battery...so I did that by reaching inside with a pencil eraser end as you suggested, Rocketman. It did have a little bit of...

    E-Power battery changes/charges are weird...

    ego-epower This is not who I bought it from, but the smoktech information page on that model. My batteries and charger do not look exactly like that.

    E-Power battery changes/charges are weird...

    Thank you for your help Rocket... I'm using the V2 Stardusts right now, resistance on these is 2.1-2.4 ohms. Would that still be low enough to be an issue? I have about 20 of them on hand at the moment, so I have tried multiple units just to make sure I haven't had a faulty one mucking up the...

    E-Power battery changes/charges are weird...

    Thanks-I will...I don't know much about voltages, etc, but the Hubs is a mechanic and he does have a meter. So if I ask or say something totally ......ed, it is because I am a noob! I just tested the battery I had come off the charger and it was 4.1 volts. (these are 3.7V bats) I tested the...

    E-Power battery changes/charges are weird...

    Ok, this is gonna sound weird... I have an E-Power that I am using Smoktech 18650 batteries in. I have 4 different batteries that I rotate. I use Stardust CE4's. Every time I put a fresh, fully charged battery in, it doesn't wanna put out any vapor. It feels like the draw is REALLY tight...

    Went camping for the first time since using the e-cig

    Nice pics! I camp a couple of times a year and was concerned at first about battery issues, switching from analogs to e-cigs. I bought a power inverter - if I am camping somewhere that is totally without power and I run out of batteries, I can connect to my car's battery supply for ac power...

    Anyone who quit smoking and went to vaping ever go back or do both?

    I vape like a freight train when I'm driving! When I was a smoker I used to light them back to back when I drove, too, so it would be imperative for someone like me to have a way to vape while I drive for this to be a successful venture IMO. I don't drip, but even if I did I would make an...

    Can we STOP saying Coffee and Soda don't hydrate?!?

    If coffee and soda didn't hydrate a human being, I would have been dead a long time ago. I drink a bottle of water every day because I make myself do it. I hate water, I have to add a flavor packet to it to choke THAT down. Yeah, yeah, I know. It's terrible. But it's true. I admit it...

    I am having a dreadful time

    I loved the taste and smell of analogs too. Every time I had tried to quit before, that is what got me-I'd walk past someone else smoking and catch of whiff of it and that was all it took for me to give in. Now that it has been over a year when I get around other smokers I get the eye/nose...

    The end of my membership in the Secret Smoker Club

    I used to wash my cartos-boiled them in plain water for a few minutes, then removed them from heat and let them sit. When the water cooled I'd rinse them and blow them out as best I could, then let them dry with connection side down on a paper towel laid on the windowsill. I had decent...

    battery decay

    I notice that over time the same thing happens to my sealed bats but that is months into their use. It might be helpful to post the hardware setup you are using so that you can get some recommendations on a fix or an alternative that performs better before you buy again. For example, the...

    Ask IMAGINE & S_Steve - Thread :)

    Any news on mine yet Imagine? I did also create a new ticket on the site the other day, but I haven't heard back from anyone.

    Starting to get it - needing more though. Want a better Vaping experience but not too techy.

    I like SI's menthol, mint, and cappuccino flavors. I was a menthol smoker but since getting off the analogs I have found that I prefer the minty flavors to actual menthol. Cignot has a good coffee flavor juice, I used it to refill my cappuccino cartos from SI and it was excellent. The...

    Solution for Juice down Center Hole

    I've never used a clearo, but when I fill a carto I hold it at an angle and drip down the sides (steeljan actually made a video about all these little aspects of filling cartos that was good) and I rarely get juice down the center hole-only when I accidentally overfill. I always know when that...

    Spider in my Provari!

    I am not usually that bothered by spiders, and supposedly we are rarely more than a few feet away from a spider anyway....but putting one that close to my face repeatedly and being unaware of it until afterwards? Freak. Out. Time.
