Anxiety has been troubling the last couple weeks.........my GF is in South America buying a product we sell, when she returns hopefully between the 24mg and her....I'll be all set...
But I may PM Bikes about that summer camp gig (regardless).........
Hey, come on down inspects, maybe you can help me get some of em off the stinkies..
This guy is the worst one, he even got a full body tattoo. Chewin gum ain't workin and I can't get him to try vapin
My story was, I think I was at the right place- at the right time. Although after 37 years of torturing my body, I still loved to smoke, It was the only thing I knew. I guess it would be for anyone if you started when you're just a young kid. I tried a quick vape one year when ecigs were brand new from a guy at the club and I thought he was on to something, but it just wasn't for me. It just did't have that kick that a real cig had. This was definitely a very young cigalike, so it didn't enter my mind for a couple of more years. I found out that my Nephew was doing both (smok & vape) and I decided one day to have him over to try it out. So we sat down in my living room and had a little 'vape party'. By the time we were done (which wasn't long), I was so dizzy. I did tell him after the first hit that I CAN do this and let's go online and order, but I asked him why I was so dizzy. He told me he likes the buzz so he was ordering (I think it was) 32 or 38 mg of nic. I just glared at him and said, is there juice lower than that?? Thank goodness there was 'cause I didn't get that nasty of a buzz with Kools! Well, I got my first vape mail and never went back! A week later, I saw a friend and asked her for a smoke since she smoked my favorite and just to see if I finally kicked those nasty old things. I took one hit and handed it right back to her. I never would've thought they'd be that horrible!! I also gag when I smell them. So that was it for me. I have more but don't want to bore you so, Thanks for reading my little book.
Thanks for reading my little book.
I loved smoking. 3 PAD. Never tried to quit. I liked the effect of the nicotine - a 'relaxed focus' - something that as far as I know, no other drug does. Some focus (or go beyond focus and some relax (or go beyond relax), but none that I know of do both at the same time. I also liked the smoke - after ecigs, I think it is at least 50% of the habit. Imo, it adds to the focus - a non-distracting presence....
"Sherlock Holmes sat silent for a few minutes with his finger tips still pressed together, his legs stretched out in front of him and his gaze directed upwards to the ceiling. Then he took down from the rack the old and oily clay pipe , which was to him as a counselor, and, having it, he leaned back in his chair, with the thick blue cloud-wreaths spinning up from him, and a look of infinite languor in his face."
Holmes again, to Watson:
"It is quite a three pipe problem, and I beg that you won't speak to me for fifty minutes."
Or, we can remember the case in which Holmes needed a pound of the strongest shag tobacco to resolve the problem and stayed alone all the day smoking, and Watson found him in a sort of trance, in a room that "was so filled with the smoke that the light of the lamp upon the table was blurred by it and my first impression as I opened the door was that a fire has broken out".
When I got my first 'good' ecig - a Janty Dura-c (510) after a failed supermini, mainly out of curiosity, not trying to 'quit cigs', I decided when I got the 'urge' I'd hit the ecig first for three draws and if that didn't work, I'd have a cigarette. When the nic hit the blood stream, I was good. And never had a cigarette after that. The nicotine and the vapor was enough to satisfy. I don't claim that to be true for everyone, it quite obviously is not. I've never had any real desire to use WTA and I know that for some that 'does it'. I don't need big clouds, just some clouds (which is what the supermini didn't provide that the 510 did.)
And, again, while not an intended goal, I had good "collateral undamage" along the lines that billh speaks - lighter upper respiratory effects and no morning cough which for me was usually in the winter here in Ohio.
All that said, if somehow ecigs are banned - or I run out of my 'preppers' supplies, I'd go back to smoking.

I think it is truly wonderful you are offering your hospitality to inspects
If it ain't broke, don't fix it 
I've been stockpiling Nauti coils for my mini and just realized that I did get hold of some of those new ones that people have been talking about. They have the bigger air holes and supposedly have just pure cotton for wicks. To date, I have never had any problem with the older ones. Fell in love with them and just this week I've had burning problems with these and gurgling that I never had with the others. Anybody else have this problem. I'm hoping I just got a bad batch. I threw 2 out just this weekend because they were just too much trouble.

Sorry IMR, I haven't seen the new ones yet but like you, I didn't have a problem with the old ones. In fact I liked being able to dry burn them rinse, dry and reuse.

I did try that early on, but with the originals, I get almost a month or so out of them. I think they're changing them because a lot of people are afraid of the ceramic. I've read horror stories on the ceramic, but don't believe any of it. We aren't inhaling ceramic. It's just a sheild so the cotton won't burn. At least, this is what I believe.
I've love how long my coils last but I'm afraid the new ones won't last near as long.

Yeah, this is why I stockpile.
Well, as I mentioned, I threw 2 in the garbage over the weekend and using a couple new ones today. For now, they're working okay but they are a bit touchy. I just don't want to go backwards with all of that burning nonsense and every other hit of nastiness I went through with the evods, etc... 
If enough people do anything long enough something bad is going to happen is going to happen to some of them, which will then be associated with the easiest scapegoat in sight.
Has anyone noticed the way the post seals on the diagram @Eleaf US? It seems maybe that it only seals @ the top or bottom of it's travel. Wondering if a topper not able to fully seat would drip all eliquid down in the unit??
Maybe I'm not looking at it correctly?

Evie dear, I'd love to hear how you dry burn the older Nautilus BVC coils. I'd really love to learn how to rebuild them. I'm with ya'll in that I love the older bvc coils and still have a few that I've bern using for months. I let them sit in everclear for an hour or so, rinse and let dry. When I need one, I pop the coil back in.
It's easy. Without the tank on, I just do short bursts firing the battery only a few seconds at a time. At first you'll get vapor as it vaporizes the juice then it will start burning off the junk on the coil and you'll begin to see the coil burn brighter red quicker and easier. After that I rinse it really well with hot water and then I soak in a denture tablet over night then rinse in hot water again then let it completely dry.
69sHer is the one who showed me how but he doesn't do the denture tablet.

The denture tablet's interesting.
I was doing it your way Evie. First couple times I tried it with water almost to the boiling point. Only difference is you take it off the stove after it almost comes to a boil, then I dropped the coil in for a little while, then rinsed it.

Howdy IMR,
Just to let you and everyone here know, I ordered a bunch of coils today from MyFreedomSmokes.com
They are ON SALE 40 % OFF and today is the last day of the sale
coupon code is
MARCH40COIL
I called them today right before I ordered because I wanted to know if their Aspire Nautilus Mini BVC coils were the old ones or the new ones with cotton
I was told My Freedom Smokes currently only has the older Aspire Coils and not the new ones!
I have mixed emotions about the old and the new Aspire BVC's coils!
I like the old ones but the new cotton ones are probably a good idea Aspire changed them
Thanks. Yes, this is where I got a lot of my stock from. They keep bringing that sale up.
It's an awesome deal! Right now I'm vaping on the new coils and they've seem to go okay today. Maybe I was right about getting some duds. Let's hope so.
The denture tablet's interesting.
I like the denture tablet's because it makes it all nice and white again.
I don't have liquor.- Status
