for all new vapors Giving up smoking

[FireDragon1138]

I also want tamper proof seals. I want to be assured that no one opened my bottle of ejuice & did something twisted to it before it got to my door. .

Dekang puts seals on all their bottles that I have bought, as well as child-proof caps. And they do not use any ingredients like diacetyl or having similar health concerns. They are not as popular on ECF, maybe because a lot of folks here like to bash all things Chinese, but they do make a quality product.

This is my second time dipping into vaping to replace analogs. So much changed in a few years. The equipment, availability of info and number/quality of vendors is remarkable. I haven't missed the analogs in the months I have been smoke free at all. I have sure coughed up a lot of nasty stuff that was trapped in my lungs and I breathe so much better. I vap so much now though that I've had to drop fom nic level 18 down to 6.

I want some regulation.

I want standards, I'm going to be inhaling this stuff & while it's nice to know that some of you guys have been inhaling on this stuff for 8 years with no side effects, but I'd like a little more assurance.

Sorry.

I also want tamper proof seals. I want to be assured that no one opened my bottle of ejuice & did something twisted to it before it got to my door.

I'm shocked that this market is as mature as it is, and we're mailing this stuff across the country, around the world in some cases & sealed bags or boxes or tamper proof caps are not standard.

I get what your saying there. I usually only buy juice from one shop, and it has one of my family members there making it. I have found another shop that has some great flavors that I bought, all US made. I don't recall ever getting a cap that wasn't child proof, But I also keep my juice in a kitchen cabinet top shelf and hanging on the wall. When the grandson gets old enough to climb up there, I'll move it to my workshop cabinet in my garage, that stays locked and only I have the key. I have amassed a nice sizes stock of VG and PG I just ordered Nicotine and pretty much every flavor I like or could mix to make likable flavors. I will after this weekend be making my own from now on.

I really really hate childproof caps; I'm 52 yrs old, sometimes my hands don't work as well as I'd like, they're sure not very strong, and there are no children in, around, or near my house, nor likely to be for the foreseeable future. So I'm really glad that MyFreedomSmokes doesn't put the pesky things on the bottles they send.

That said, for those who have any possibility of having kids of any age around, childproof is the way to go, to prevent more of these specious "eliquid is poison!" stories on the news regarding idjit parents who don't have enough sense to keep something dangerous to kids AWAY from kids. Did they leave their cigarettes just lying around? Yeah they probably did. They were probably the same ones who, when a kid gets fascinated with a bic lighter and starts that constant flicking they love to do, just sit there on their big fat lazy butts and say, over and over, "I told you quit that," a million times, before coming out with that old nugget "just wait till your father gets home," since they are much too lazy to discipline the child THEMSELVES. Or get up and take the lighter away from the brat. Dr Spock really should be mandatory for any pregnant woman and HER HUSBAND since people ought not to be procreating without being married first -- if you can't handle the commitment of marriage, you aren't READY to be a parent!

Ok rant off. The world and the US is going to hell and there's not one thing I can do about it, EXCEPT rant.

I read on here somewhere, someone was ranting about MyFreedomSmokes' e-liquid being actually Dekang e-liquid; I don't know if that's true, but I think I need to get some Dekang Virginia and find out.

I really don't want nor need any further "regulation" (i.e., taxes, since someone has to be paid for doing the regulating!) of this stuff than there is already, but I already know that's just spitting in the wind; if it *exists*, the US gov't will find motive and means to regulate it, you can take that to the (fed reserve) bank.

Now if they'd just "regulate" all the unethical billionaires who've sent 99% of US industry to the 3rd world and never pay what they ought to on their taxes, maybe this country could get back on track.

AAAMEN to that, I couldn't have said it better.
If there is a way to make a buck on something our government will find a way. only they insist on 2 bucks for ever buck we make. well unless you have millions then you pay less then a buck. seems the Government Still has there head up the A%# on who owes what. I would hate to see a tax like they have done on cigarettes $3-4+ tax on a pack of smokes just insane the cigarette companies don't even make that much on the pack. I'm just hoping and praying the free masons will inherit the earth soon and put our country back together. until then I'll stick it to the man every chance I get its the only thing that keeps me on an even keel. I know my state is probably not happy with me, getting my personal check for Vehicle registration, renewal. where it says on the check what payment is for I always write MD STATE EXTORTION. When I write the TAX check to the federal government I write FEDERAL TAX EXTORTION. F*&^ um what are they goona do they can kill me, but they cant eat me.

Well we never owe; we let them take the max, so that they owe US; it's the only way we can "save" any money, and even if we had a savings acct, some bank would be taking a fee, making money on it, so I figure let the gov't use it while they have it, god knows they probably need it, and $10-$20 per paycheck won't make that much difference to us, we'd just spend it and then not have anything coming back to us at refund time. It's about high time they sent it too, this 12 wks crap to process an injured spouse form is total BS.

I'm really hoping that somehow, some way, someone in charge of something will finally get their head out of their derriere and realize that the reason they don't have "any data" on e-cigarettes being dangerous is because THEY'RE NOT, compared to cigarettes! One reason I'm so antsy about that refund we should be getting soon, is so that I can donate to both CASAA and this forum, to help 'em keep up the good fight; CASAA for our rights, and this forum to keep spreading the good word and the info that we all need in order to be successful at this new endeavor -- it's really a life-changing event, quitting smoking, and having to learn all the technical ins-and-outs of these nifty devices can be quite intimidating.

I know a lot of folks round here are "vape geeks" (I'm becoming one too, with all this coil rebuilding, and ordering a kayfun!), but thank god there are those simple, inexpensive eGos and CE4's and all their ilk, they help make it easier for folks just getting started, and folks who have no interest in all the technical minutiae beyond what they need to know to get the most out of their simple inexpensive e-cigarette.

Good discussion.


However, I don't want childproof caps, I want tamper proof caps. These are the caps with the little ring on the bottom. If someone opened it, you'd know because the bottom ring is no longer connected to the cap.

Or a sealed bag. Lucky 7 at least puts their eJuice in a bag that is sealed. When you get it, you know no one has messed with your eJuice since Lucky7 put it in that bag.

Well, some of the juice I order does come that way, though not from MyFreedomSmokes, where I get 98% of what I vape, since I vape one flavor about 98% of the day. However, it's in a priority-ship box, which is very well sealed, so I really doubt that anyone can get any access to it, once it's in that box.

Killer Juice uses those tamper-proof bottles/caps, that make that "ripping" sound when you open them, and they have excellent prices, $4.99/15ml. Also Desert Vapes, and High Desert Vapes, use those kinds of bottles/caps. I haven't bought from a lot of places, so those are the only ones I know for sure use that kind of packaging. Killer Juice's cheapest shipping option is very cheap, about $1.40, but it's "ground transport" and takes FOREVER to arrive. I plan to pay more for the priority shipping, next time I order from there.

If you're a fan of Cinnamon Redhot, I can tell you that Killer Juice's Cinnamon Redhot is the best I've tried, but they're currently out of stock. I ordered some a while back from Desert Vapes, but it's so sweet it makes me cringe, so I'll just have to wait till Killer Juice restocks. If you like it extra sweet, Desert Vapes does have good prices, though their prices vary on which line of juices you choose from. The Redhot was, I think, $7.99 for a 30ml.

ive been vaping for about a month now and when I first started, I couldn't get past the mental habit of wanting a cigarette. I tried buying stronger juices, a better tank, a better battery and finally found that the trick that worked costed me 1 dollar. I bummed a cigarette from a friend, squeezed out the tobacco and filled the empty tube with cotton. I don't smoke it but I cary it with me and when im vaping ill hold it in my hand and occasionally hold it in my mouth. been doing that for a couple weeks and it finally worked. sounds strange I know but I swear it worked for me.

60 days March 3rd 2014 almost 35 years and haven't done an analog since that first week.

I've been chasing the perfect vape to replace my old habit. I've found the joy and fun of dripping, and made sure I've read and bought the correct battery for my mech mods. My current regret, looking at a shelf with 2 VV/VW that I don't use because I dropped to .8-1.4 Ohm Dripping and RTA use. Plus, what I'm calling a failed attempt at having a tank for all day use. The iclear30 is like sucking ice cream through a straw, my analogs were never that bad on the draw.

Vaper's Tongue: whatever it is and causes it, the best way to get over it as many others are now speaking up on... Find several flavors you like. I've found that dripping doesn't do it to you, vapor's tongue, as bad as any tank, as you can blast yourself when dripping, with a different flavor. Oh, a great tip when going to a B&M. Take a dripper and cotton balls for rewicking. If the shop allows it, drip, to taste what they are selling, that way you know what you like or hate, and purchase several at that time, so you can switch up during the day. If you aren't with that. Go with a candy you can suck on, that goes opposite the Vape you like, so the 2 will keep vapor's tongue away.

Awesome if it works I say do it. The habit part is strong I catch myself putting things in my mouth like I'm smoking even take a drag of it lucky its nothing dangerous, usually my ink pen. I have many hobbies also, I build Large wooden ship models, ships in bottles, and RC airplanes just to name a few. keeps my hands doing something and my mind occupied on the task at hand, before I realize it its been hours since I last vaped to satisfy my nicotine needs.

what Iclear 30 are you using the 30S is very nice airflow on all the ones I have the 30B however is tight but you can drill those itsy bitsy holes out in the 510 and get it to breath better. Also some mods have deep threads and the holes in some Atty's get covered up I had that issue with the unitank on the Magneto lucky there is a nice little device that you can use between the atty and mod that is airflow adjustable for such cases.

 

[Minnaz]

Do the iclear 30s attys fit in the iclear30? Cause I have the 30 and it not that good I thought the dual coil would pick it up abit

[epicdoom]

If you mean the coils no, the 30 and 30S coils are completely different.

 

[Minnaz]

So the coil wont fit in the 30s..... damn.... well guess ill order something else then cause I really don't like this one. Thanx bud

YW are you having issues with the 30S or the 30 ?

 

[epicdoom]

Today marks 6 weeks for me Smoke free, and its about that time to change to a lower Nicotine level I will be getting my order of Nicotine tomorrow so Ill be dropping to 5mg and making my own juice from here on out. I must admit this past week had a couple days when I got stressed out at work and I thought Hmm nothing an analog wouldn't sooth. I vaped hard during those times and went back into what I was doing with more concentration the urge passed fairly easy. I am proud of myself for not giving in. I am also glad I had those feeling and was able to work it out is just reinforces my resolve to remain a non smoker

 

[WillyZee]

Cheers Joe ... Vape for the win

 

[Schatzi]

I have 6 different ones I rotate through out the day and in between I drink water since vaping can dehydrate you.

 

[Mogy]

and then there is the healing of taste and smell that also play a role... i have some juice that now is absolutely way too strong for my liking that I could not get enough in the beginning...
