    Help me once again - old timer returning for advice

    Haven't been an active member for several years. Thanks to this forum I left burning tobacco behind, but as eCigs became mainstream I just relied on what was geographically near me. I need help again. I really miss smash cigalikes and have been sporadically buying $10 disposables just for...

    Just got my kit!

    I use 30mg Menthol Ultra from Freedom Smoke USA. It's a local vendor for me, but they do all sorts of online sales.

    Upgrade from an eRoll...?

    I started with an eGo C. Tried a few others. Really enjoyed my eGo C with various tanks. When I got the eRoll, I put them all in a drawer. A few months ago my eRoll PCC died. I almost cried. I switched back to the eGo and the tanks I had in the drawer while I waited for my new starter kit...

    paint coming off battery

    Time to buy a new battery. Batteries are what six, seven dollars? Under $10 for sure. You should probably have two or three extra batteries if the eRoll is your only vape system anyway. Your grody battery is now your spare!

    pneumonia

    Just thought I'd let folks know. My generally very intelligent coworker told me today that he heard e-cigs cause pneumonia. He heard it from another coworker. To be fair to him, he was like "I didn't research it or anything, it doesn't effect me so I didn't much care, I just thought you might...

    Going stealth -- but confused with all the different mini eGos!

    Check out the eRoll. I bought it to be something to use at parties and those occasions where I wanted to use a cig sized for whatever reason. It's now my daily vape.

    Almost zero flavor

    Try switching to a menthol instead of a mint for your eRoll. I preferred various mint flavors to menthol with my eGo Twist, but it's menthol flavored stuff that does it for me with the eRoll. I have no idea why. My daily eRoll vape is Menthol Ultra from Freedom Smoke USA.

    Has anyone solved the heat issue?

    As a dude wearing a size 12 ring, yeah, it's a bit more of an issue for us I think. But I don't think a longer tank would help much. The issue is weight, even a tank twice as long is going to weigh a lot less than the battery/atty/cone on the end of it. So the center balance point would just...

    Non-smoker one month into vaping.

    You might get a lot of .... from the forum, I'm not sure. Here's my spiel about nonsmokers vaping: It's not proven to be safe. What you're inhaling with an e-cig is basically like huffing the fumes from the smoke machine at a concert, with some nicotine and flavor added. It's probably a lot...

    are there any companies making vaporizers and/or juices that are publicly traded?

    All the tobacco companies are developing their own brands and are publicly traded. But the most profit to be made is still in the cottage industry. But, most of the current businesses don't need further investment. They have been so successful they've already paid back their investors and...

    gaming and the eroll?

    Yes. The answer is yes. Just realize that you will have to return it to the PCC occasionally so it can charge. It's really not a big deal. I've never found it necessary to have more than one eRoll unit or have tanks filled to prep for long sessions at the computer, or driving (my big vaping...

    Has anyone solved the heat issue?

    I also hold it below the cone after the first couple draws. It's annoying, though, because I feel like I'm holding it the way I'd hold an illicit substance (filter) joint. Sometimes I do hold it above the cone, but that feels unnatural to me. But yeah, there's really no other way around this...

    Getting pulled over and questioned

    By the way, I was so nervous I think I forgot the dashes in the address for this forum. Sorry, cop dude, hope you know how to use Google.

    So what made you decide to upgrade?

    Money. I started with various truck stop and mall kiosk brands. Each time I tried them, they were just too expensive to keep going with them. They were generally a hassle too (cigalike size, where you'd have to inject the liquid into the cartomizer). But the hassle wasn't so bad, because...

    Getting pulled over and questioned

    I just want to add my recent experience to this, because I thought it was pretty awesome. It happened while traveling, in Phoenix, AZ. I got pulled over. I had failed to signal while exiting the freeway. The police officer took a few seconds to tell me this, and why it was important (very...

    eGo-C Twist

    2-3 days for a clearomizer or cartomizer is insanely low. That's just ridiculous, there's something seriously wrong here. You refer to them as both clearomizers and cartomizers. Are you sure you are using what you think you are using? I'd suggest just switching to the tried and true...

    Is a little bitter aftertaste normal with menthol juice?

    Nope. I vape only menthol juice these days. Sometimes I'll get a few sampler bottles of other juices. But I find myself bored with them quickly and moving back to straight mentol flavored juice quickly.

    new guy with a blu.

    It sounds like you aren't addicted to nicotine, but enjoy the act of smoking. Cool. Use the blu infrequently, don't get addicted to the nicotine in it, while you wait for your order to ship. You're going to need to order something better. First, order an eRoll. It's better than a blu. It...

    heeloo

    Yeah I don't know, that's a lot of specific stuff and I don't want to look through the inventories of suppliers with a checklist. But I'm curious, 50 feet of wick? What the hell are you doing?
