    Extracting juice from old carts, all at once

    That's kind of like picking old cigarette butts out of an ashtray and rolling a new one.

    Quit smoking

    I agree with Zenataos. For me, it's been 6 months. I quit the VERY first day I got my first PV, no cravings no stress, one word, amazing!

    I think I'm done with this site

    Sure. My setup is really nothing special. I tried a bunch of devices, but settled on a Provari, with Boge cartos. I have like 25 bottles of juice on hand. I just fill a carto with one of them, and keep topping it off until it doesn't taste good or I get tired of the taste. One carto usually last...

    I think I'm done with this site

    And that's a good thing! I've been vaping for 6 months, and I'm now totally and completely done with my 40-year cig habit. I feel great, and the addiction is 100% obliterated. I used to check this site many times per day. But now I visit about once a week -- and I rarely read any posts...

    Provari Plating

    I'd just buy the cheapest one. It's not like you look at it constantly and admire it. And others probably won't be impressed. But people around here seem to place a lot of value in buying PVs that look good, so go with whatever makes you happy.

    I just found my anti-ADV!

    Wyatt Earp from Freedom Smoke USA. This juice gets rave reviews, but it's like inhaling chemicals to me. The smell makes me nauseous. I stupidly bought 30ml and had to throw 25 ml in the trash. And yes, I tried steeping. Maybe I just got a bad batch, because I can't believe anyone could vape it.

    Question concerning Cartomizer Life . . .

    A carto costs $1. That's the cost of 3-4 cigarettes. If you're not happy with the taste/performance of your carto, throw it away and screw on a new one. It's a disposable item, with a very short lifespan.

    Can't seem to find a good coffee vape?

    Probably because it's impossible to mimic the taste of a good cup of coffee via vapor. Some juice vendors claim that they can, but you'll probably be disappointed. More likely, it will be great for a day. Then it will suck. My advice: If you want the flavor, just drink some coffee. Maybe find a...

    Nuport is now New Menthol!

    Yeah, it would have made a good contest. I would have submitted Nuevo Puerto Vallarta.

    Crazy price on Awesome Tobacco Flavor ( Hillington) - 30ml's $6.49 !

    Funny you mention Wyatt Earp. I just threw out 25ml of it. I kept thinking it would improve, but it got worse. Nastiest stuff I've ever tasted -- also the worst smelling. That's why they say, "tastes vary." :tongue:

    Clearomizer Dead After 5 Days? Any Suggestions?

    Based on my experience, five days is the typical lifespan. Still a lot cheaper than you know what.

    Whats the best way to clean a Clearomizer

    In my experience (based on about 10), you don't clean them. You throw them away. Others claim to have success, but nothing I tried has worked for me. At one point, I thought Clearomizers were the answer. Now I'm back to cartos.

    Not tasting much

    I can relate. I bought some Gorilla Juice just to see what all of the fuss was about. It had no taste at all. 2-3 weeks later, it has taste. Not the best taste (IMHO), but it has taste. The main point is to get the nic into your body so you don't want to smoke a cig. So don't abandon it because...

    One week!

    Congrats. Hopefully, it will be MUCH easier than you expected. At least it was for me. Vaping was the perfect substitute for stinkies for me. I quit immediately, with no problems at all. After 2-3 days, you will be tempted to try a cig. Do it! And, if you're like me, you will wonder how in the...

    I have officially saved money

    I just spent another $23 for 25 Boge cartos. And I'm still ahead of the game! BTW, that's a great deal at Sure Vapes. It's my second order. And free shipping. Welcome to Sure Vapes LLC !

    How do you explain your vape?

    Some folks are hard-core "I can vape here, dammit, it's not smoke" types. I'm not. I lay low, and only vape where cigarette smoking is allowed. It's my addiction, and there's no reason to flaunt it. Some day, I'll get over it and it won't even be an issue.

    Desert Island (One E-Liquid Flavor, Which One?)

    I disqualify myself from answering because I firmly believe that I will get sick of any liquid. At one point in my vaping career, I was convinced that I could vape "Dueling Banjos" from High Desert for the rest of my life. A few weeks ago I received my 3rd order. Now I can't stand it. Just the...

    Can we please have an honest discussion

    Are you talking about the PG version or the VG version? The only Johnson Creek juices I've tried were the PG. And I didn't care for any of them. Somebody noted that the VG version of Tennessee Cured is much better than the PG version.
