Hey Uncle.
Have you tried el toro? EL TORO CLASICO
They taste like a REAL cigarette since they use real tobacco.

No - I haven't, didn't even know they were around, but I will check them out . . .

However, while trying to find the right "Nicquid" has been an on going and biggest problem for me . . . I did fine a couple I could vape every so often that wasn't totally food related or has sugar or a sugar subsitute in it . . . which as most people like you here already know . . . has been and is the worse obstacle for "Me" . . . So I really do appreciate the suggestion and information - THANKS ! ! ! :D

Now as for evreyone else's words of encouragement and support - THANK YOU ALL ! ! !
I really do appreaicte all your input . . . :D

However, let "Me" clarify my previous post a little . . . I went though the same thing all of you did when I first came to ECF and was in the New Members Fourm . . . AND - after a big misshap with going to another vendor for the same product that cost more money - I couldn't be happier that I found Smokeless Image and the VOLT - it is exactly what I was looking for . . . something "analog" looking and effective to deliver what I needed at a very reasonable cost . . . The Equipment, Smokeless Image offers - as a whole has been fine and does work for me most of the time . . . AND GESS AM I COVERED . . . I have more then enough 78's & X2's batteries (Auto/Manuals)/Cartomizers (most of them I haven't even openned or used yet though) . . . More importantly, I do find that The Volt is absolutely convenient and easy to use . . . I can take them out (along with a cartomizer & some "nicquid") for the day and even during longer trips - without any big problems, and the best thing is - I don't get hassled by people on the street or even by TSA when I fly . . . The best part is that with the Smokeless Image MEGA PCC Filled - it fits perfectly in a sippered TREO PA Case that I found that also holds enough "Nicquid" and accessories for the week that I can fit into my luggage or carry with me too . . .

Now with that being said - "My" fraustration really comes form having to need to constantly clean the cartomizers every time I try and/or test a new "Nicquid" . . . So I started using a "Drip Tip" to test "nicquids" which wasn't to bad to do, till I had that accident and got "Nicotine Poisoning" from the "nicquid" I got into my mouth . . .

Also, I was really hoping that with the NEW Clearomizers I won't have to do this all the time . . SO, I purchased quite a few . . . Then I started reading about all the problems people were having with them, especially cracking from cinnamon and/or menthol (which is all I use) or not holding the "Nicquid" if you don't fill them properly . . . SO I waited to see what would happen, because I knew if anything Smokeless Image would find a way to correct this problem and let "Us" all know . . . I surly did not want to get "Nicotine Poisoning" again . . . AND - Although I am very happy Smokeless Image found another Clearomizer to replace the ones that people were having problems with . . .

What I didn't expect was a WHOLE NEW CLEAROMIZER and another whole NEW NAME ! ! ! ! View attachment 134357 THAT'S What Becomes View attachment 134358

It's like "proudlion" said . . . "T2, V2, M3, C3, CE4, old/new version, "(fill in the blank)omizer", top/bottom coil, etc ... every vendor has a "unique" name for their products, yet many differently named items appear to be the same as others." (edited for breavity and to stay on point ;) )

SO NOW "We" have - Cartomizers, Volt X2 Clearomizes, Volt CE3 Cartomizer, and the NEW IMPROVED "Nano Cartomizer" (Which I guess is not a Clearomizer then ;) ) . . .

ALL GOOD ! ! ! But I will wait until "You" all try them before I purchase any right away . . . :D

Okay - Rant Over - there is nothing else to see here - everyone can go home . . . Go On, move along - No More "Beating a Dead Horse" . . . ;)

This reply is for both Konstantine and Uncle.

First,...Hi Konstantine! Hope everything is well.

I looked at that site and was surprised to see they also carry a few Highbrow Vapor liquids, which are made right here in the US. Since you live in the US, Uncle, you might want to check that one out too. I vape some of his flavors and they are good. His tobaccos actually taste like tobacco. But the great thing about this vendor is that he will work with a customer and adjust his liquids to their taste and satisfaction. Any customized flavor recipes are kept in your file for future orders. Just some food for thought. :)
 
Hope your headache goes away Tina. Morning anyone else stuck being up at this time of day. I've got some work as well and have to get a move on, but I'm taking my tablet with me.....the new @#$%^ may show up on the site today. Have a good one folks!
Glad Tina's headache went away quick.

LOL thanks for the compliment Kico but its just my Aricept kicking in. (Truth is I just missed you guys) When you can, you might want to have Sultan's teeth checked and see if they need floating and see if he as any dog teeth. Just a suggestion especially if you plan on riding him that would sure save a lot of head tossing as they do hurt if the bit bangs into them.
I will keep that in mind - THANK YOU! So far - to all appearances he looks to be doing well in the eating dept. But still a good idea before I decide to toss a bridle on him! Well - just 30 more days til we are s'pose to close the sale. Yippeee then I'm hoping to get some tack(!) so I can take him on a some short rides to start.


I ALLLLmost had a drag of my kid's ciggy last night ... Sooooo frustrated w/ situation w/ mom.
There is a very fine line between respecting her rights and keeping her safe from herself and everyone else safe in the house.

I didn't realize til today that I'd forgotten to double check SI's website for the new stuff! While I love the 650 X2 batts - can't believe how much I've depended on the 900's around the house. My first 900 died last week. But probably good bcs now I'm using the 78's a little more again. Notice after a couple weeks the juice seems a little "thick" in the Kanger M3's I tried out. (Just added a drop or 2 of PG and shook them - appear to be fine again!)

UNCLE: Hope you are able to get back to 100% vaping real soon. I made myself a little sick one night vaping to steady on the 12 mg so I started playing w/ a little lower mg to prevent that. My DIY is limited to playing w/ a mix of pre-made flavors and moving the nic content up or down as I feel the need. I have a few favorite items for a little change of up. Sometimes a 3-4 drops of Double Dutch choc (Capella) is just the ticket. If it feel like I'm "not vaping" bcs of poor TH - I add a drop or 2 of the Flash to up that while keeping the nic level down. It's because of my tweaking and the note about quickly closing the Nanno that I'm not so sure I'm going to like them now.

ETA:
RAYNES: asked about the 48mg being 4.8 ... the way I read that question: STOP! It "SOUNDS" like something that needs to be cut before you start playing or risk serious poisoning! Like cut 50/50 with PG for a 24 mg solution.

Kico I can TRULY empathize with your situation, parent/kid role reversals are tough. The best advice I can give you is as a geriatric psych nurse,and as a caregiver is to IF you can,take time to "fill your cup". Take time with your horse,find a laugh in everyday if you can. If ever you need to talk or vent feel free to shoot me a pm.

BTW when you talk to your vet about checking Sultan's teeth,have him check for wolf teeth NOT dog teeth (had a brain infarct when I wrote the previous). Also I learned a neat little test from my vet today to check for teeth problems--might save you a buck or two,you know the two little depressions below the eyes where the top jaw is?--Press on them gently if Sultan tosses his head or acts uncomfortable he has a problem with his mouth or teeth.

Don't worry about me using a 48mg nic I was just curious as how a 48mg would calculate out per ml.

Thank you ALL for the prayers and hugs !! While I was away last week taking care of my Mother and my Godmother,I lost one of my horses and now one of my Rotts is sick, and after I got back from the vet's office today and my daughter calls and tells I'm going to be a Gran again. Soo with the bad stress there is good stress and if I could figure out how to do it I'd have a country and western song hit !!
BUT instead of reaching for a cigarette,I reached for an X2 that HAS to count for something.
Many thanks for allowing me to vent and for all your support

Congratulations on the grand-baby Raynes, yes, good stress. Sorry about your horse though ((hugs)), and your dog being sick, a lot to handle at once. And reaching for the X2 counts for a WHOLE BUNCH!! Good job!

Oh man that is a lot to deal with at once! I'm praying for you too. I can relate. Stress always made me smoke more, too. I'm finding that vaping is just as satisfying. No.....I think it might be more satisfying.
Hang in there......:)

Thank you for the encouragement and support. I PRAY Ugo will be OK. He's my right hand guy and has kept me out of harm's way a many of time. We have a cat that rides him (no joke) Ugo doesn't care he looks after all the animals and me. Any job you give him he's delighted. Tomorrow they are going to do lab work and x-rays.
Cutter went in his sleep he was an old guy so what more could a person ask for? I'm grateful he didn't suffer.It just hurts I wasn't here to hold him and say goodbye.

(((((((((((Raynes)))))))))))) So sorry about your horse & dog. :( Glad you got a little good news to help lift your spirits - congrats! Hope Mom & Gmom are doing OK. You're right though, those are the makings of a hit C&W song - just gotta work a truck into it.
LOL and an alcoholic beverage it would go to #1. Heck it could go PLATINUM. Part of the chorus could be "Think I'll Just Sit Here and Vape"
