I ended up ordering from mt baker. Based on a few recommendations. They also had quite good website layout and customer service. Oh I couldn't tell you the hassle elsewhere and in fact on the internet in general. Have any of these time wasters ever heard of a computer analyst? People don't seem to realise that the internet works by certain standards. Anyway yeah mt baker were pretty good. There didn't seem to be a lot of difference between standard and expedited shipping, so I chose standard. I got 50/50 pg vg. I hope it arrives soon and I have good luck with it. I'll keep you posted.

It shows your join date as 2009. Have you been having this problem since then?

Yes I believe I first used some prefilled cartridges from njoy. I don't think I noticed it then.( I was wondering if precision filled might be the answer, that maybe it is the stuff leaking. But njoy don't post to Australia anymore. They also had a nice emerald pen I was going to buy).

Then I got something from tot. Wicked UK I cant quite remember what happened there but I ended up with a bulk bottle of unflavoured liquid from there. I tried to use it unflavoured i think their stuff is pg. It made me seriously cough and splutter. For quite a while ive been ordering from heaven gifts china and a couple of other chinese stores. I think I mainly got it from those. Im planning to try the mt baker stuff from US and maybe the coconut juice trick. If that does it as well I dont really think i can afford to shop around and experiment too much. So maybe will have to find another way. Or killing myself with analogues.

Pray this shipment is going to work. Because like a lot of you its one of the only things that gets us off the smokes. Yeah it might work out. I'll let you know. Did I join in 2009, Ive been on and off them a couple of times since then.

Now I already drink a lot of water and always have. But it wasnt helping. Chapstick have you heard of chapstick addiction where youre just exxaspeating the poblem I even came across some psychological problem I forget what it was called that causes chapped lips. Anyway it was all too much, and it definitely was the ecig, for unknown reasons or the humectant quality, leaks or what have you. So Ive been smoking, you know.

I live in Vegas and chapstick is my ADDICTION. I buy it in the multi packs and have an emergency stick everywhere. Once you get used to using lipbalm all the time, when it becomes a habit, then you hardly notice the inconvenience. Sorry I don't have much of a solution for you, just an ongoing treatment.

Same here. I have as many sticks around as I used to have bic lighters. Always one within reach no matter where I was/am. :D

Apparently chapstick, or lip balm, can "contain irritating chemicals, actually drying lips more, making lip products feel like a necessity."

That could be but I know that when my lips get chapped It just takes applying the Natural Ice for a couple of days and no more chapped lips until I go back outside on a windy or cold and windy day. I have learned through the years not to believe every thing I read but Thank you for your concern.

No, of course winter effects my lips a bit, but im talking about specific times ages ago proven three times that the Chinese .... chapped my lips, not mildly like the weather, but really full on. It also affected my singing voice badly.

This stuff from mt baker is a lot better. Ive been vaping on it for two days now and theres no unwarrented chapping. I was very thirsty after the first couple of puffs, but its been ok since then. I did get a bad side pain after vaping on it copiously before breakfast. I had some toast and that improved. I got their high strengh nic.which is their second highest strength, If all keeps going well over next couple of days I will order some medium strength. Take it down a bit. Theyre a bit moorish is the only problem although whenever you go without a smoke it seems to also lead to some compulsive behavior such as eating.

As i said can't complain at all about the service. Getting it when I did so fast really cheered me up. I have health problems and its pretty much urgent i get off the durries. It arrived at lets say midday yesterday, at 6pm I had a smoke and so far today i havent had one. And its 7.40 pm. So thats pretty good. They had a good working website and they also chatted to me live for about half an hour to help me with my purchase.

Anyway already my voice already feels a fair bit better, lets hope the other problems go too. I am also still going to get the coconut juice into my diet as it is a bit drying. Wondering if I should get 70/30?

Somethings bothering my gord (gerd). That could be anything I guess.

Scrumptious thing, cannot put it down. Lol. I hope its all its written up to be. Im enjoying the coffee caramel, the other flavour vanilla tobacco wasnt anything to write home about. The flavours are more noticable in this product too, which is good for turning you onto it and get off the cigs.


So far so good, but its only been 2 days so Ill let you know if it keeps going well, later.

Burts Bees ejuice?
I use Burts Bees lipbalm for my lips and another product they make since my hands will dry out terribly and start peeling uncontrollably. Just don't use the lipbalm on your eye lids like some kids are doing now, some say it makes them more alert, others say it makes them feel more drunk, Dr's think it's the peppermint in the product that is causing oddities but warn it was never intended to be used on your eye lids. How in the world does somebody buy lipbalm and get the crazy idea to try it on their eyelids?

In any event, I get terribly chapped lips, we're talking splits and bleeding if I don't use Burts bees.

I use the Okeefe's working hands balm for my hands when they get cracked from winter or too much mechanic work, etc. Good stuff. Might have diacetyl in it though ;)
