Brand new here...MANY questions

[John D in CT]

oh. new question. what is PG vs VG? I'm at a loss.

PG = Propylene Glycol (very different from Ethylene Glycol, a common ingredient in anti-freeze)

VG = Vegetable Glycerine

They are used in combination or on their own in e-liquids. 80% PG/ 20% VG is probably the most common, followed by 70/30 and maybe 50/50.

PG imparts more throat hit and is a little rougher on your throat. VG gives more vapor and imparts less throat hit.

PG is thinner, VG is thicker. I think you want throat hit (that feeling you get in the back of your throat when you take a drag on a ciggie) so I'd get 80/20, 18mg strength.

Nicotine level is rated in mg/ml (milligrams per milliliter). Pure nicotine would be around 1000mg/ml, and would screw you up big-time. 18mg/ml = 18/1000 pure, or 1.8% nicotine.

um guys. Seriously please do not fight. I appreciate both of your help and Im' learning as much as I can as fast as I can. I hope that you are both happy at least that I have NOT smoked yet at all!!!

I'm glad you haven't smoked yet.

And don't worry, this squabbling has been going on for some time now. Maybe it will stop soon.

Please call me when you get a chance, and I'll explain to you what's going on.

 

[Prometheus72]

ok. the stuff I have here is 30%/70% but I have no idea what the nicotine content is. I just loaded MORE liquid into the smaller cartomizer and it seemed a little better. Not anywhere near the hit I get with the eGo-T but better than it was. I'm hanging in there. Thanks again.

I can't call tonight as I'm at work, but maybe tomorrow or tuesday I will. Im' on midnights...so I'll be here reading all night long. lol

Well hey, then please allow me to completely kill your productivity! LOL

This first thread has over 7,500 juice recommendations. Once you have the 650mah Twists and the Vivi Nova 2.0ml or 3.5ml Version 2.5's (I'd get the 3.5ml just because I KNOW for a fact that they rock) - it'll be all about the juice. A good gun needs good ammo.

I removed the phone number...do not post phone numbers or private email addresses...take it to PM.




And please...the bickering gets really old...stop it.

 

[Mroutlaw]

If you do decide to get the twist at some point, you can purchase them cheaper at altsmoke. http://altsmoke.com/ego-c-twist-variable-voltage.html

The are 22.99 for the small one and 25.99 for the 1000mah, but when you register, you can use the coupon code FIRSTORDER, for 10% off your entire order. They also sell the vivi nova for $13 and another great system called the Kanger T2, which I think is better than the vision stardust

Yes, doesn't it though?

I'd like people to please stop attacking me for offering the opinion that variable voltage will arguably increase a person's chances of successfully conquering cigarettes. That is not "nonsense", and judgments like that IMO have no place in any rational discussion, no matter what the subject.

I will not stop recommending variable voltage over fixed voltage, and this "squabbling" will continue for as long as people keep attacking me for doing so. I think this forum would be well served by people accepting the notion that constant voltage is not inherently superior to variable voltage.

I just spent about three hours trying to help one person, and am beginning to lose my "mojo" for doing so. We are all on the same team in the War Against Cigarettes. I hope we can get along civilly as we fight this fight.

Please don't stop. YOU and everyone else here have been amazing in helping me. I honestly had never even heard of these things before last night. I watched some videos and figured out how to get these going... I can't remember the last time I voluntarily DIDN"T smoke for this long. I feel great, I'm breathing better already and Im' getting my "fix" through these e cigs. I couldn't do this without you...and honestly even if you do bicker...remember...you're not just helping me and others...


you could be SAVING MY LIFE.

That's why I do it, and that's why I find it so distressing that people don't seem to "get it" that variable voltage saves lives.

Fun's fun, but there is a time to put aside emotional attachment to a particular device and grab on to something with more firepower.

Constant voltage is like the M1 Garand. Do you "need" an m16/AR-15? Mayne not. Nice to have in a firefight? Yup.

In Vietnam, we lost 58,000 brave men and women over aten or more years. 5,800 a year. Smoking kills 443,000 Americans a year. Eighty times more per year than men and women who were fighting a heavily armed, very determined enemy.

Death to cigarettes; Victory through superior firepower.

If you get something in the "Lavatube" family, get the Apollo SS VTube. It has the fewest bugs and the best features. If you really want to kick ciggies in the ...., go ahead and get one of those as well; about $60-70 bucks. And a ProVari V2
or a Smoktech VMax, about $200 and $100 respectively. The Provari is arguably the nicest and most dependable variable voltage device on the planet. (Other planets might have better ones, and probably do).

Vtube from Apollo ecigs is $53 after the 30% off coupon. IMHO it's as close as you can get to the provari for the money

ok. i need a little more help...as I'm having trouble finding anything.

Anyone know where I can buy this stuff locally in Windsor Ontario Canada?

Oh jeez, not you again??!! Whaddya think this is, your own personal thread or something?? LOL

Hey, we'll sort it out. Call me tomorrow when you wake up, and we'll get you vaping like Grimm Green in no time. We gotta talk about your budget; if you can spare a couple hundred bucks, we'll obliterate the stinkies like "rock" beats "scissors".

I think I'm going to go ahead and get one of those VTubes just for kicks, for Sailorman. He's a great contributor here who basically told me what a watt was, and he thinks VERY highly of the Apollo SS VTube, so that tells me it's very, very good. You'll get JUST as good a vape on the Twist, but the VTube will give you better battery life, a replaceable battery, more amps, a cool LED display, and a certain "Wow" factor. That said, neither is a replacement for the other, and the twist is still an indispensible (IMO) component of "the arsenal".

In WW2, a platoon would have a bunch of guys with M1 Garands, a guy with a BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle - awesome firepower), maybe the Sergeant would have a Thompson sub-machine gun, and maybe if they were on a Pacific Island they'd have a flamethrower guy. same with vaping. You're your own "platoon", and the more firepower you have at hand, the better. The Twist belongs among your gear IMO. Many very experienced vapers use them a lot, no matter what else they have. If you can afford it, I'd get three 650 twists, five Vivi Novas, an Apollo SS VTube, and a whole lotta juice; 18mg 80/20, speaking of firepower.

I'm gonna PM you my phone number - Classwife saved me from myself and edited it out (thanks CW) Whaddya say we kick some serious cigarette .... (hehe - John D made a funny) tomorrow? You are going to LOVE vaping. Remember; MORE ENJOYABLE ...... COSTS LESS ..... and ... um .... let's see ........... shoot, havin' a Rick Perry moment here .....

more enjoyable .... costs less ..... and .... uhhhhh .......

OH YEAH!

IT DOESN'T FREAKING KILL YOU!!!!!!! Don't know why I keep forgetting that one ... should be Number 1 now that I think on it.

The most important thing right now is for you to A) not fall asleep on the job and B) know for certain that ciggies are GOIN' DOWWWWNNNN and you will not even want to smoke one again. Just the thought of it will make you throw up in your mouth a little. That is the "miracle" of vaping. Just as light displaces darkness, vaping displaces ciggies, simply because it is more enjoyable. Most people I know go for the more enjoyable as opposed to the less enjoyable. And as I often say, the only people it won't help are those who are determined to harm themselves, and I don't think that's you.

I can recommend five really nice flavors for you, and you'll be off to the races. I'll PM you now and then hit the sack. Keep the faith - victory is ours.

Hey, nice signature! My favorite is still KeysBum's; "874 days since my last cigarette, and I haven't saved a penny" LOL Still a good deal, no?

 

[vsummer1]

Thanks for all the information on this, I learned a lot tonite.

 

[Prometheus72]

well guys. I just had 2 of my hardcore smoking buddies try the eGo-T and the mini one just to showthem. They BOTH want a set up (which I'm going to order tomorrow) and we are all going to do this together! So...you may have just saved 3 lives..not just me.

 

[dragonbone]

again I have to ask...am I at ANY risk for anything (other than bad taste) when the liquid comes through the mouth piece into my mouth from the eGo-T tank? Is this normal? how do I avoid this? I only received 2 tanks...and I've only used one so far. There seems to be liquid inside the last chamber before the vapor comes out..and I'm assuming there's not supposed to be any liquid in there?

You can insert a tiny screwdriver into the hole on the mouthpiece and pop off the tiny flat piece. (Decant the juice from the tank first). Don't lose that flat piece, rinse out your tank, shake water out and dry. Reassemble.

The cause of juice getting into the last chamber could be because you are drawing to hard. Take slow soft draws.

Reason for juice leaking is because it is escaping from the enlarged hole in the tank cap, or if the tank is not securely seated on the atomizer tip. Silicone caps for the tank can be bought separately. They tend to create a tighter seal on the atomizer pin.
