Big Challenge

[Shiney]

Okay, I'm getting a hit. If some one had just said to hit it like a (edited), and let it rest for a minute then hit it again I would have gotten it quicker. Now the juice I have is perfecty formulated, it tastes nastier than a cigerett.

 

[sgraves66]

Awesome! I noticed that the pre-filled that come with the kits leave much to be desired. It took me 2-3 weeks to quit real cigs before being able to rely on the ego. Time to find some juices that aren't nasty to you. If you can get down to 1-2 cigs per day while adjusting, that's a huge accomplishment.

 

[blacklung]

shiney,

I've never used the Ego T, but have read that they can be finnicky...
did you get your stuff from e cigs of houston? (just wondering... bought my first ego from him)

I'm in Jersey Village off 290 and have a couple Boge Cartos to spare if you ever wanted to try something that is almost guaranteed to work. (might have some used LR306.. and extra 18mg juice also) FREE

PM me if interested

This might help you select a few juices to try. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-discussion/244945-2011-juice-year-award.html There is really no way for anyone but yourself to decide what they like as far as juice is concerned.

 

[Shiney]

Okay, by everyone's discriptions I have figuared out what I actually have. A low resistance cartomizer, I'm getting a good hit of 36mg tabacco flavored juice. It is the thick viscious stuff and tastes really nasty! Worse than a analog! I'll get some other flavors and the atomizer tip you can use to try flavors of juice, and try some new ones. So tell me your favorite flavors and I will try them. Thanks everybody for the help.

One of my favs is Flue Cured Tobacco from My Freedom Smokes. A good, not overpowering tobacco flavor with just a hint of sweetness. My buddy says it has the 'perfect cigarette aftertaste'. I don't agree but like it anyway.

 

[Retriever]

Shiney, glad you are getting it figured out. I am afraid I have a learning curve ahead of me too. Enjoy!

If I was going to recommend only one good tobacco juice to anyone, it would always be DK-TAB from Dekang.
I'm not sure I've ever heard of anyone that didn't like it.

Valley Vapor has a 10ml bottle for $4.75 and the shipping is extremely reasonable...
DK Tab - 24mg DK-Tab E-liquid [DktH10] - $4.75 : Valley Vapor, Personal Vaporizers and Accessories

For less than $2.00 shipping you don't feel like you have to buy more stuff to go with it.

Excess juice clogging up my vapormaker!

 

[Shiney]

Whoa, just read the side of my atomized cartridge box, it says "Warning:Not for use by people with heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes" I have high blood pressure, and diabetes, two of the three, what does this mean?

 

[bruiser]

I have high blood pressure, but vaping doesn't seem to affect it, as I usually am close to normal when I take readings. Don't have diabetes, but I think there's some stuff about it in the Health forum.

BTW, you might like the eGo Mega Dual Coil Cartomizer, aka EMDCC. They're available at Mad Vapes and other vendors. Hold lots and lots of juice and they do produce.

It means people with health problems should not use nicotine.

Did you ever read the warnings on the cigarette pack? That didn't stop us!

 

[sgraves66]

I'm not a doctor, but I'm sure that it means you shouldn't be smoking anything at all

Nicotine is the primary reason there are warnings on the products. I cannot speak to PG and VG, but you're in lesser risk with PV's than you are with regular smokes.

I think it's odd that so many people are concerned with health risks associated with PV's yet continue to smoke analogs. There are thousands of chemicals in tobacco and somewhere around 80 different carcinogens.

I wish I could give you 1,000 likes for that one.

Starting out there is somewhat of a pain-in-the-... factor with the PV but I was reminded the other day we are just so used to overlooking the mess of the analog - burns, ashes, butts, etc. - you won't have all that with the PV and once you figure out what works for you, you won't need those analogs anymore. It is amazing - and brings back the old cool factor too! Vape on!

 

[Shiney]

I know that nicotine causes the circulatory system to contract and that causes higher blood pressure. I had two surgerys in 2008 on my neck and lower back. Had three disks removed in my neck and a fusion with a internal titanium brace. Going in for post surgical care the nurses could smell the cigaretts on me and would complain that I wouldn't heal. I told them I had had other injuries and healed nicely while smoking. Most of my high blood pressure is caused by being overweight, but even my doctor said I looked good on my last visit, compared to when I first got out of the hospital. I losta hundred pounds, was down to 160lbs, cured my diabetes and hi blood pressure, but looked like death warmed over! I understand now that the warning is for nicotine, it didn't say on the box.

 

[sgraves66]

Sarcasm aside, you're in the right place. Believe me, I'm trying to bag the same buck as you are. Luckily, I haven't developed any permanent health problems, but I've been a dedicated smoker for 15 years - 20 if I'm honest.

Switching to electronics will greatly increase your overall quality of life. You'll feel healthier, more energized, and I'm sure very happy to finally toss the Big Tobacco beast in the trash.

I wish I could say that there's no risk involved, but for me it's a numbers game. 4000+ chemicals in analogs, to 3-5 in electronic. Nicotine being the obviously harmful ingredient, yet still non-carcinogenic. The remaining appear to be non-carcinogenic, as well. Some lower quality products have had trace amounts of carcinogens but at very, very low levels. I'd post the link, but I've lost it.

I think the problem is the viscosityof the juice I have, it's too thick to flow properly. It's a 36 mg juice, are all 36 mg juices so thick? Is the 24 mg thinner? I don't think I'm getting much nicotine, because I'm not getting a lot of vapor. Your ideas please.

 

[swedishfish]

Nicotine has nothing to do with the viscosity of the juice. It's all about the PG/VG ratio. High VG- thick juice.
