    a bit of bad news

    Definitely never should have opened them up. But I am pretty hard-up for cash right now. I have VG and flavorings at home, but no liquid nicotine base or sweetener (I have no idea if macerating tobacco imparts any nic in homemade liquid). I have steadily lowered my nicotine levels in the...

    a bit of bad news

    So I am pretty broke until payday (thankfully tomorrow) and I started looking at my two packs of emergency cigarettes. They were three months old, they were going to go stale, and I was running out of juice, so I justified opening them up. After getting over the nastiness of the first cig, I...

    Hoping to save my uncle

    thanks for the replies. I am unsure about getting him a tank style, because I could definitely see him having it leak everywhere. Then again, we would have to get him a good supply of cartos otherwise, just so we weren't having to go over there every day to refill them.

    Gummed up battery cleaning question

    I found somewhat of a solution. I have a stash of rubber tipped dental picks that I used to clean out the middle hole of my cartomizers. I bent the tip of one and got some of the liquid out of my precious blue battery. Hopefully this will help out. Also, thanks for the replies, guys.

    Most Embarrassing Analog Moments,,,,,,,

    Three come to mind, all car-related and similar to what others have posted. One day I was messing around with my hair or my face while I was at a red light. The hand that was doing the grooming also had a lit cig in it. I knocked the cherry off right on top of my head. I flailed and slapped...

    Hoping to save my uncle

    I smoked cigarettes for 13 years, and I have an uncle who has smoked a pipe for a lot longer than that. He is semi-dependent on the rest of our family, so we typically buy his tobacco and supplies. Lately, he has developed a problem with his throat and lungs, particularly bad in the evenings...

    Gummed up battery cleaning question

    I couldn't a battery specific forum, but I was wondering if anyone had success cleaning a gummed up auto battery. I suppose some liquid has gotten down into two of my auto batteries. It's not a major problem yet but sometimes when I take a hard drag, the switch gets stuck "on" until it times...

    hazards of vaping

    other than the obvious dripping while driving or running out of battery power or e-liquid... The other day one of my cartos was overfilled and making that gurgling noise, so I went to blow it out into a paper towel. I must have used to much breath force, however, as some of the liquid bounced...

    Virgin Vapor Strawberry Shortcake and Black Cherry Marshmallow

    So I received my second order from Annette at Virgin Vapor on Saturday. My first order was Organic Bed of Roses 80/20 PG/VG, extra flavor. That one was very tasty: sweet, smooth, and pleasingly floral. Perfect for blending with some vanilla. But I was getting a touch low, so I thought I...

    tired of my batteries' "ash tips"

    I hope this came out okay: I also made a few short videos of me using it. I just woke up so I look pretty sleepy! Vapor Scene - Youtube a darker --I daresay sultry-- vid: Loretta Yum Vapes - YouTube

    tired of my batteries' "ash tips"

    (I would personally never alter the actual circuitry of an e-cig because I am not skilled in that way, and I wouldn't want to injure myself or destroy the component. this is just a simple cosmetic mod) Ever since I got my purple crystal LED battery, I have really enjoyed its diamond-like...

    oh, yes, pride month! I chose this avatar because I like rainbows year round! I loved them even as a young boy. It's good to know there are other "family" members here. ;)

    Breakfast Time! (Going wild with flavorings)

    My jasmine liquid tastes like drinking some jasmine tea: very pleasant but like tea it gives me a bit of a stomachache on an empty stomach. also, a possible consequence of vaping liquids with food coloring: the past two days when using my neti pot I have noticed the... result coming out...

    Breakfast Time! (Going wild with flavorings)

    Thanks for the reply, buffaloguy. It seems most of the flavors I bought are not very strong, as you mentioned they might not be. I checked around about the diacetyl in the butter flavor, and according to someone on ECF who says they contacted Wilton, it does not contain diacetyl. I'm relieved...

    Happy to receive a surprise in today's mail!

    thanks for the reply. Yeah, this purple battery is certainly not made by NJOY. It seems to charge fine on the wall, without flickering too much. I have had these two NJOY chargers for about a month so I hope they last. Also, my local grocery store sells some e-cig parts (they look like...

    Breakfast Time! (Going wild with flavorings)

    Since I discovered USP-grade VG at the store, I decided to go out and shop for some flavorings. ended up getting twelve of them! here's the haul: McCormick Mint (definitely different than true menthol. I will use sparingly) McCormick Raspberry McCormick Coconut (rather mild) Alcirelli Anise...

    Happy to receive a surprise in today's mail!

    Noticed a strange thing yesterday. I was charging my new battery on the USB connected to the laptop, and the normally-bright LED was glowing very dim. Then the red indicator light on the charger started rapidly flickering between red and green. I know the laptop doesn't charge as high as a...

    Happy to receive a surprise in today's mail!

    yes, Dana, I was so excited about ordering the battery that I didn't pay enough attention when ordering the juice. The PG isn't terrible and it does transmit the flavor well, but it makes for lower vapor content than I am used to. by the way, I talked about "vaping with style" in the original...

    Happy to receive a surprise in today's mail!

    (Didn't know if this should go in reviews and if so which subforum, since it's about a generic battery, some liquids, and just generally "vaping with style." feel free to move it if needed) I received my order from azsmokefree.com today! I must say, the order was processed and shipped quite...
