    Suddenly I can't post in classifieds and swaps?

    I've been gone for a week, but I suddenly find that I can't post in the classified and swaps forum? I didn't get an message about why... so I'm very confused. My sale thread was also closed even though all of the items have not sold yet...

    The Ultimate brink and mortar e-cig shop

    What would you expect to find in the ultimate brick mortar e-cig shop? What brands and products should a store have *at minimum* to be successful? Would you be willing to pay a little more to avoid shipping fees and see the product in person?

    I popped the cherry.

    I knew I'd end up getting a box mod at some point... and I KNEW it'd be variable voltage. So at last I've gotten my first "serious" mod. Mad Vapes VV Box Mod (Variable Voltage) Review - YouTube In this review I also bring up a minor problem I have had with this mod. If I try to use any of my LED...

    My video review of the VV box mod... also a question about an issue I've had with it.

    Mad Vapes VV Box Mod (Variable Voltage) Review - YouTube In this review I also bring up a minor problem I have had with this mod. If I try to use any of my LED clearomizers the mod shuts down and won't work at all until I take the batteries out and let it sit for 10 min. Otherwise it's really...

    My "conversion kit"

    When chatting with smokers I know I have often wanted to give them a drag or two so they can "see for themselvs" but it occurs to me that my 0mg desert vapes (or God-help-me pizza stick flavor... which I *love*) would leave the average smoker less than impressed. I think I'll order 18mg Halo...

    Warm vapor without harsh throat burn?

    Warm vapor is nice, it brings out the flavors more, it's more like (the better aspects of) analog. Warm vapor seem to result from having a clearomizer or cartomizer where the coil in close to the mouth-piece, and from having more power based on the combination of voltage of the battery and...

    Automatic batteries on higher powered devices?

    When I bought my first kit more than one person advised me to get at least one manual battery, and I do see some advantages with manual batteries. But, ai still ove my automatics, (I have a 510-T from Cignot and two 901's from Vapor 4 Life.) A lot of people made it sound like the auto draw was...

    cartomizers that ~light up~ OMG!

    I just got my hand on this big 'ol cartomizer called the "3.5ml Giant Cartomizer with LED" from "vape in the cape" (though a few vendors have it.) In fact, they sent it to me to make up for the fact that they were out of the thing that I ordered. At first I thought "it light up?" how silly! But...

    I'm going to post about e-cigarettes at dailykos.com, need some help.

    Hey, friends, I know politics can be the source of stress and ruin friendships, but I think we can all agree, no matter what politics we have, that treating e-cigarettes like analogs or even banning them completely as if they were worse than analogs is a dimwitted move. I'm very liberal and...

    elipse confusion and google fails to find things

    Hey all. I've been reading up on the elipse which is a new type of PV with a unique elliptical shape. It also has replaceable tank atomizers like the Ego-c. I'm intrigued by this, and think it'd be fun to play around with. But, it's really hard to find information-- were it not for the forum I...

    Any runners?

    Are there any runners on these forums? I love running and participate in local races. Back when I smoked (unfiltered luckies no less) I'd run a race then light up to relax right after-- you should have seen the nasty looks I'd get for that. I had a few folks ask me why I bothered to run if I was...

    Why do you need a higher voltage battery for low resistance cartomizers.

    I'm a mathematics professor, so I'm pretty embarrassed that I can't figure this out. Here are the things I have gathered from my reading (let me know if I get any of this wrong.) 3.0 Ohms is about the normal range of resistance for eGo's and 510 batteries which are around 3.7 V Lower resistance...

    The "menthol and Tobacco only" flavor trend.

    Many brand-name starter kits (including some of those that are rip-off mall-kiosk types) tend to come in only two flavors: menthol and Tobacco. This makes some sense since they are being presented as an alternative to smoking and they want to have something that smokers will find familiar. But...

    What is the smallest e-cigarette?

    Out of pure curiosity, I started wondering this today. For their size the Vapor 4 Life "short" batteries are pretty small. And for their size they preform pretty well. I can't decide if I like my new Boge Carts or the Vapor 4 Life ones better, they both make nice thick smoke when you use a high...

    Cheap multi colored drip tip assortment?

    I'm using drip tips to tell my cartomizers apart... I need a whole lot, in a wide rage of colors ... it'd be nice to get a discount for buying bulk-- otherwise which shops have the most diverse assortment of driptips in terms of colors and materials?

    The future of e-smoking.

    I've been learning so much lately and that has got me thinking about what the future will be like. Right now the most "advanced" PV have focused their technology on regulating the way that the battery interacts with the atomizer. There have also been some new ideas in atomizers like dual coils...

    Replacement wicks?

    Well, I managed to destroy one of my eGo-T atomizers trying to clean it-- the wick fell apart. I was able to transfer the wick from my LR atty to my regular atty, though, so I'm happily vaping again. (I don't like the LR atty, it's too harsh, I was going to sell it... but might as well mine it...

    My biggest frustration with vaping.

    What frustrates me most is the lack of consistency in vapor production. Some of the time I'll get a big beautiful cloud, but then on another day with the exact same set-up I get hardly anything. To have a good "session" I just keep tying different combinations of atomizers, batteries and...

    Nut allergy???

    Hey, friends. First I want to say what a HUGE help this forum has been. THANKYOU! I've changed my username from "smokingbird" to "vaporbird" to honor those of you who kindly pointed out that "it isn't smoke!" Anyway. I'm allergic to most tree-nuts, celery, boney fish, chick peas, and...
