e-cig trivia. What info. can you share?

[lexpres61]

I'm a new e-cig user so I don't have any to share but I'd love to hear from all of you knowledgable vets out there.
One thing I would like to know is what year were e-cigs first introduced to the public?

In 1963 Herbert A. Gilbert patented a device that would heat a nicotine solution to produce inhalable steam.

Aquarium filter and tea bags were used as batting. (I think that was a DIY thing, though.) Sorry, that's about the only historical thing I know.

Hon Lik patented the first electronic cigarette (in it's current incarnation) in 2003.

These were used to replace the polyfill in cartridges (carts). Does anyone still use carts (not cartos/cartomizers)?

My first carto tank was a HOMEMADE 20ml SYRINGE TANK.

When I started back vaping this time I dragged out my old 510 with refillable carts. I was SO glad to get my first tank! I actually made the carts work for me but I had to hold a kleenex in one hand and my ecig in the other then dab the tip to get rid of the leakage with just about every vape!

When I got my first ego I used to watch videos of "tropicalbob". I learned from him If I wanted a pure tobacco taste to soak a snus packet in my e liquid for about an hour and then put the snus packet right into the ego cart."what a great flavor"...didnt last long before I was back on the smokes,...that was prob 3 years ago. I ended up quiting completely when I first tried the ego T.

Been there with an ego and also a Janty Stick...Had to watch videos on how to fold the tea bag and fit it in the cart...then also bought the Blue colored filters and cut them in little squares to fit in the cart....omg it was brutal to vape with carts and not get an awful burnt taste..thats why i went back, when the ego t came out and there was no more poly fill I was in heaven
