cool tip for all two other loong totem users (count does not include loongs' aliases)

[dc2k08]

so we all know (possibly just me actually) the coolest feature of the the totem package are the rubber caps that come attached to every battery and are used to seal the carts. but in the interest of the 3R's and frugality what alternative use can we find for them, once they have served their primary purpose?

I was both pleased and miffed when my brother took up an interest in e-smoking having become endeared to the shape of my loong that arrived some weeks ago now. i was firstly glad that his excitement for the product has led him to cut down on the fags (he had thought my other devices were risable) though at the same time equally grieved as his on/off love affair has seriously undercut my small supply of carts. he has no intention of replacing them having been told of their cost.

Well his passion has paid off a little for i discovered one evening he had discovered a very simple hack using the rubber caps which i was saving for no other reason than i intended to find them a use. he did.

rubber caps make excellent mouth piece covers.
what he did was place a rubber cap over the threaded end of a cart. then he pushed the battery into place and screwed it in, causing a perfectly shaped circle to be cut from the rubber. he then removed this modified piece and place in over the end you inhale from. Voila! you now have a very comfortable mouth-piece to mouth and teeth all you desire. your cart will stay clean and your teeth will thank you kindly if your like me and hold em clint eastwood style..Ahee-ahee-ahhhh! Wah-wah-wah! (theme from GB&U)

That's kinda funny because that's exactly how the Smoke51s are demonstrated at the mall kiosk I wrote about. The seller puts a rubber sleeve over the carts and then disposes of just the rubber tip after use. The same cart is used over and over. Good idea, though.

 

[dc2k08]

yeah, it would seem to be the best means to show them around without contaminating the cart with any unsavoury lips. i'll be bringing a pocket of them next party i'm bombarded at. with this measure and the recently discussed anti-bacterial properties of PG, i should be having a bug-free winter.

Be interested bob if you can re-call at their demo how often they had to pull out a new cart/battery. did you notice or didn't you stick around loong enough? <--lame i know

Yes it's a good idea I remember Nazareth telling me to do this weeks ago which I did try but it felt like I was chewing rubber band but were all different.
What would be a good idea if they could have made the outer of the cartridge with the same rubber Material as the cap in a colour rather than using the paper that peels off and gets stained which looks awful after a while.

 

[dc2k08]

if you peel it all off and to expose the metal, i think its quite attractive though. kind of dislike the rubber tip myself as i can taste it through the pg when toking. wish they used a harder plastic perhaps.

..so this is old hat to you all, well pardon my post, perhaps loong might find it useful in his marketing. i know he loves pointing to the youtubes videos by mixos.

 

[ned Zeppelin]

Yes I peeled the paper off on my very first cartridge weeks ago . be good to get the battery to match but I've never had a taste from the Cap so I don't know what you're getting and whether it's from the Cap.

 

[dc2k08]

my brother says the same thing ned and hearing his reviews its weird too, he seems to able to discern a stronger flavour from the carts than i can. he actually notices a slight bitter coffee flavour from the coffee carts where i can only taste nothing or the rubber. the vanilla carts give me the only hint of half-decent flavour really...i know this sounds funny (it does to him), but i actually think it has to do with the sucking nature of our techniques.

 

[ned Zeppelin]

I think there is some sort of taste their but I don't think it's to do with the rubber cap like that old papery taste again.
I think it has to do with the filling somewhere but as you know
These
have a taste of their own like nothing else out there which is hard to explain to people which haven't experienced this has yet.

 

[Mr.Darcy]

off topic...but are either of you keen to try the ecig.com version?

Yes Mr Darcy I'm waiting for a delivery which was made on August the 18th for over £300 worth of gear and been waiting since then and only just received a shipping confirmation saying it had been shipped.
So I'm hoping this will arrive this week and if that is all okay I will order one of these because I do think it's identical to Loong Totem but I think it's obvious that it is really by all the pictures the charger that comes with theirs I already have one of these and hoping their battery might and I mean might be better but not banking on that but the choice in cartridges and strength attracts me to it.

 

[dc2k08]

yeah, im hovering over the pay button daily darcy. the choice is un-believable. makes me doubt their actual availability. they could be waiting for large orders before they wake the children from their cells to make them (probably have to feed them when they do that)...and regardless of what i order, they could just send me what-ever they have ready. i doubt they have stock of every color/flavour combination. waiting for confirmation that they can at least mix n match my cart flavours. no joy yet. might give them a call today if there is a number listed somewhere.

Now I know why I haven't had a single chest infection this year (we're coming to the end of our winter here in NZ) - usually I have an infected chest for the entirety of winter - every year as long as I can remember . . . which actually isn't that far back, but hey, you get that with old age

You might be interested in this thread Coinmaster - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...moking/1734-germ-killing-vapor.html#post28735

It's about research that found propylene glycol vapour kills germs.

 

[coinmaster]

Thanks Kate, I appreciate you posting the link. It definitely explains a lot! What an amazing added bonus THAT is!!

 

[KatyS]

Kate, I believe this about the germ killing. Was playing poker tonite and lots of the smokers were coughing and sniffing. 2 of them have their yearly bronchitis that takes weeks to totally get rid of. Last year I was hacking and sniffing along with them, not this year. No sinus infections, coughs or sniffles. I will still get my Flu shot, but feeling great thru this seasonal change over.

 

[Kate]

It is really good, I agree. I also briefly came across some research which links propylene glycol to a chemical suspected of preventing and curing cancer. Just imagine if that turns out to be true, wouldn't that be the icing on the cake.
