The trick to blowing the perfect smoke ring is

1) get the right size and shape of your mouth.
2) pop your jaw with the right amount of snap and the more distance the jaw moves, the bigger the rings (and also the harder to control them)

Also lightly tap on one of your cheeks in the middle as you blow the vapor out, that helps make rings too for some reason lol

If you are a newbie, use a forum such as this, or fb pages, or watch vape shows and vape videos to learn as much as you can about vaping, it's very helpful.

Also, when something new comes out, generally give it some time before you buy it. Oftentimes it has kinks that needs to be worked out or imperfections...also, by holding off a little bit you can read other people's reviews about it.

This is the biggest secret, so shhh, don't tell anyone.

Out of all the new stuff coming out a lot of it will prove to be poor, some will be awful. We aren't in a race, so let everyone else try it all out when it's new on the market and let them test it out for you. In a couple of months you'll be able to only buy the stuff that actually works well and it'll all be cheaper by then.
You don't have to rush in just because it's new.




EDIT: Beaten to it while I typed it.

Oh, do you mean that the best products stick around for a while? Or do you mean that the best products are out of stock most of the time, and you HAVE to wait to get one?
Given enough time the wheat becomes obvious from the chaff.
The best products will still have good rep even after other, supposedly better, things are released.

Having to wait on something becoming available doesn't automatically mean that that something is good. Sometimes it just means that folks haven't discovered it's junk yet.



I just woke up and should have drank some coffee before I wrote this post.

Wow, a secret thread and I never venture over in this part of the forum.
Okay, then- in order of my Vaping secrets.
1. Find a good mod you like and can use well- in my case a Reo...I have 9 of them. :facepalm:
2. Buy good quality batteries and a charger (RTD Vapor) if you use a mod- such as AW batteries and Pila or Xtar chargers and learn to measure voltage and ohms with a voltmeter- you need to do this ocassionally anyway as batteries wear out, etc. (RTD also has these cheap- you only need the cheap one!).
3. Buy juice as cheap as possible- DIY is not hard. I buy nicotine juice and VG in bulk (Best Electronic Cigarettes and E-Liquid - MyFreedomSmokes.com) and add just drops of super concentrated flavors from E Cig : Joye eGo & eGo-T | Boge Leo | Cartomizers | E-Liquid | Electronic Cigarettes | eGo Tank. Both places often have sales- like right now, Vapingzone has 20% off- keep an eye out! I vape more than 6ml of juice a day and I have figured that it costs me about a quarter a day (that's right- 25 cents)!!
4. Get into rebuildable atomizers. Sure, they cost more initially, but save you money over the long haul. The Phoenix is a cheaper one- some places even sell it for under $10 (for the A-7) and it rocks!! I do have other preferences that are more, but the cheap ones work fine and are magnitudes better than disposable attys. I guess along with this, would be learning to build good wicks/coils and these are very cheap as well.
5. Don't become someone's e-cig pimp. If you help someone start then let them buy their own juice, device, etc. I cannot tell you how many I've lent out, become their juice supplier, etc...People need to ultimately become self-sufficient. Let them come here to the ECF and find answers- explore their vaping future, etc. This will save you time and money and not cutting people off at a certain point will waste your precious resources and money.

The above has worked for me- I'm a happy and contented Vaper!!!

Always wait 2 years before trying a new product. That way, it will have disappeared if it was junk, and the queues will be over because it won't be hot, plus the people selling it will have more than three in stock.

Also you won't have spent money that is far better spent on your boat.

:D

Pan, burner, bottle of crappy e liquid, SO MUCH VAPOR....
best. idea. ever.
seriously thats going into my sig
My best secret is: Learn your equipment. Most issues you have will come from lack of knowledge. Buying a new pv won't help when you keep flooding your atomizer and more often than not there is a good bit more performance to be had with what you have now. The best example I can think of was a cheap cig look alike kit I bought when out of town. The stock cartos were terrible, but I tore them apart, rewicked with some toilet paper (i kid you not) and dripped some of my own juice. I got nearly twice the vapor with doing this and found them quite servicable till i got home to my supplies

Don't be like the fellow above, sometimes less is more, if you use it right :)
