    replacement source for V4L's "USA" line? esp. "Stogie" & "No.7"

    Well, after many months of vaping, in May/June I finally settled on my main "go-to" juices. They are "No.7" and "Stogie" from Vapor4Life's USA line. Well, it seems the writing is on the wall that they are no longer going to carry it. It is quite often on sale, but mostly out of stock...

    Use it

    In case you are like me and did not know it: there is a report button for posts that are problematic. It is at the bottom left of every post. Use it. See this screenshot to find it.

    parts for 808 ego thingy from V4L?

    I coulda posted this here or in the KR808; sorry if I chose wrong.... I have an "EGO" from V4L which has 808 carto threads, and some enormous cartomizers. It has a USB port on the end under a metal threaded cap. It also has some threads between the button and the carto threads, which appear...

    Cold & Flu - vaping impact? idea?

    I have the worst sore throat that I can ever recall. Started friday, and then turned fullblown yesterday with sinus congestion, cannot talk, and I am constantly hungry. Nothing really changed in my life except I was hitting my new titans pretty hard friday & saturday (like trying to suck a...

    No more email from ECF?

    I used to get email notifications of updates to subscribed threads, and to new PMs. This stopped some time this week (perhaps sooner, but I noticed it this week). Anyone else? Yes, my settings in the forum are still set to "email me instantly". Is there a trick to re-re-enabling that?

    OT: Squirrels and doggies and cows, oh my!

    Wader's Squirrel Army post reminded me..... I devised an animal categorization system some years ago by which I live, and encourage others to follow. Just thought I'd share: All animals (aside from humans) fit into at least one of the following categories: Livestock, Pets, Wildlife, Vermin...

    instead of fat-batts or mods.... ???

    Has anyone ever thought of using a 5v Passthru with a belt/pocket/rucksack-mounted battery pack? Gives new meaning to the term "Camelback". Imagine what this could do: eForChina - Super Rechargeable Li-ion Battery, 12V 9800mAh, USB Output: 5V DC 13000mAh Or even just a flashlight that...

    ****omizers?

    OK, so my only experience is with Cartomizers. I know that there are 2-peice "cartridge and atomizer" parts, but haven't used them (and really don't care to mess with more complication). But, I keep hearing people talk about "clearomizers" and "tankomizers" and whatever-mizers. I took a...

    neat tools

    I've been carrying these tweezers on my keychains for many years, and discovered they are great for vaping in many ways. They can be used to pull up the center post on batts, or to give the center post on carto's a gentle twist or slightly raise the height. They'll even get down into the...

    Mods on AA or CR123?

    OK, maybe this belongs in a mod subforum, but I'm pretty well set on KR808 format..... and totally newb on "mods" I keep hearing about, so I may not even be talking about "mods" here... Seems like a batt that runs on AA's or CR123s might be a good idea. If not, why not? Presumably its...

    DIY accessories

    Ya'll wanna post some? Here's my lanyard: Paracord, a key ring and a couple inches of vinyl tubing marked 3/8" ID ... I used an icepick heated on the stove to punch holes for the keyring. We'll see how it works for hiking in the wood this weekend. [with and without flash] Higher res ones...

    Flavor-names decoder ring?

    Would it be OK to start a thread which catalogs all the V4L flavor names against what they are thought to mimic? For example, we can pretty well guess what KAMEL is supposed to remind us of, but others are less obvious. Ideally, if V4L could tell us what they were thinking of when they arrived...

    Hair growth rate affected by smoking?

    I googled, and only got hits about hair LOSS..... Has anyone experienced improved rate of hair growth after kicking the ciggies? Here's why I ask: I run a crew-cut, (DIY with a wahl and no comb; a "0" for those in the know). I usually go 2 weeks between them, but can go 3 weeks. Well...

    Duh for noobs, when to charge.

    I made up a kit and sent it to a friend. Included was a 1-page write up I did on how to use the charger, try diff flavors, yada, the usual stuff; the questions I had when I started. She's not often "online", but I did include the URL in my write up. So, I get a call from her: "What does it...

    Better Passthru than V4L's?

    I'm very happy with the operation of my V4L manual passthru, but I'm thinking of getting another. I use their batts and carto's. The only complaints I have about the V4L passthru is that the wire is too stiff, and the connection end is prone to pull out. I put some heatshrink tubing on to...

    Buttplug soiled upon removal? SOMEONE HAD TO ASK!

    I can't believe I'm bringing this up in mixed company but.... What's it mean when you remove a buttplug and it is brown with flecks of black? :blush: happened on new White Choc WOW cartos... I'm thinking age/corrosion perhaps? Based in part on my observation that the cartos were labeled...

    USA juices: CoolCart or Wow? Steep or not?

    OK, I've sampled more.... Java Junction and Beach Bum are quite good (the Col. and No7 still beat them). I think DBCherry has some real potential. And I'm still getting my head around Stogie and Gunslinger (reminding me a bit of Aces&8's I have up on swap)..... So, in that context I'm...

    Chinese Factories

    I'm a noob, so it won't hurt my feelings if this thread is deleted on sight for poor taste (I'm usually the first to point out any elephants at parties). :D We had the zombie thread, and Smilin talking about his visit to China, and recent posts scattered about mentioning China in various...

    Tried another vendor; V4L reigns.

    I hope I'm not breaking protocol by saying this (I'll edit if suggested) but: I just got an order from an outfit that rhymes with Bronson Freak. Two 100% VG juices, a blend juice (all in 15ml bottles) and some "stuff". First, the stuff was good: little empty 3ml bottles, a tiny funnel...

    OT - Dogs

    OK, with mmcall12, Morandir chatting away about them, and seeing K9luvr's nick..... I'm starting this thread: Thank you all dog lovers! Especially those who rescue. I volunteer with a couple of rescues here in the Dallas area, and help fundraise for even more (one around here is called "Real...
