i have an open question for everyone

[J_L_K_64]

almost forgot, thank you to everyone posting, i am learning so much, and i have found out (since my passthrough is all i have for a battery for the time being) that i think that i might like manual vaping better than auto, i can get a richer taste manually than i can auto, i think

From seeing the rillo I would get Havana Gold from AVE and cherry bomb/from HHV. Combine the 2. I think you could drop the analogs for good vaping this. Also asap venture into a really atty to drip. That will give you max flavor and the. That really/helped w/ cravings and it's/fun to try out different flavor combos. Aroma juice has WTA in there juice. Great after eating.

I neglected to invite you in my earlier post to join other Smokeless Image Volt users on the sub-forum here: Smokeless Image

There are helpful demo videos of SI gear and reviews in the top stickie threads. Farther down the page is where you can ask questions and read about other Volt users' experience with their equipment. We're a friendly and helpful bunch, so introduce yourself. Also, if you submit a photo of yourself and the Smokeless Image name somewhere in the photo, you get a free battery.

ohhhhh..............gggrrrrrrrrrr.......... lol i just ordered another battery with SI, along with another assortment carto pack like not even 5 minutes ago

but yeah, i'll go check that out

and stv4SC, i'm sorry bro, but half of that stuff i have no idea what you are talking about i'm assuming havana gold and cherry bomb are flavors, yes? and i think atty is battery? or atomizer? but something kinda sorta strong flavored (not sweet, but kinda strong tobacco taste, or maybe menthol or something) would be great for me after finishing a meal

Yep, lots of folks go back and forth between vaping and smoking. Should not be an issue. Hopefully soon you will not have to go back and forth. Best of luck.

A dry-vape or hit can refer to 2 things depending on what is being discussed. 1) you can "dry-vape" an atomizer when cleaning it...that has nothing to do with a cartomizer though 2) When you don't have enough e-liquid in your cartomizer- you should notice the vape is not as "good" or strong at first, then if you keep vaping afterward you will get that unlucky drag that you will NOT mistake- it has a horrible burnt plastic taste (because you have just fried the carto filler). If this happens your carto needs tossed, don't try to refill it.

Not so much of an issue with the Volt cartos. I've re-used them lots of times after an inital dry hit. Taking them apart I've noticed one very small burn on one side at the bottom. Quite honestly, refills have tasted fine - it's the way they're made plus the bottom coil. This video kinda explains it (I've never posted so many videos in one thread before).

detox process? what?

and when i smoke cigarillos exclusively, i smoke maybe 10-14 a day; max, and have been smoking for about......14 years now........i feel so old now........

currently i'm using 1.8% nicotine content cartridges from the smokelessimage site and was thinking i might need to go one step under that to 1.6 or 1.4 or whatever it was, i am still trying to figure out what the conversion would be for me (which is the hardest part, i think)

When you fully stop, your body goes through a detox process which can range from 1-2 weeks depending on how much you've smoked in your life, basically you'll just feel like .... and coughing up tar all the time. I've been a 2 pack a day smoker for 8 years and knowing this I took a week off and just slept through it, it made it easier, but still feel like ...., despite saying all this I will tell you one thing, it is worth it, everything is back to normal as if I wasn't a smoker, food tastes better, air smells fresher and the juices I vape now have more flavor to them since my airways aren't clogged up by all that tar from smoking all those years anymore. I breathe better and can do more. Or maybe i should refer to it as the cold turkey phase for smokers, you will get it, despite vaping, vaping will nullify your craving for nicotine and to pick up an analog cigarette, but the detox process is unavoidable, thats just my opinion for people who're switching back and forth, to me vaping is an alternative to smoking, but if you're doing both, I'm not sure what vaping does for you then, eventually you will want to quit because that's why you vape right? And quitting fully will put that detox process into play, by switching back and forth you're not letting your body clear out all crap that's been stuck in there from smoking. Just my 2 cents.

Personally id just say pick a day and dedicate yourself to vaping, otherwise it'll be 1 today and maybe 2 tomorrow. What i noticed the 1st week is the only thing that made me want a real smoke was the fact i couldn't just hold my ego twist in my mouth and vape while doing something if that makes sense...But i stayed strong and it was actually very easy surprisingly. 15 plus yrs smoking ended just like that, i doubt id be able to do it though if i did it the way you are....good luck!!

ya know, back in my wilder days i did some time in the county lock up, no smokes, etc, and i gotta say, it's been 2 days now with no ciggies, just vaping pretty heavily, but still, nowhere near as crazy as my lock up days, not having anything real bad like withdrawals or anything


might also be because i never smoked a whole pack a day, i think i was smoking like 10-15? cigarettes a day but i have smoked since i was about 13-ish, so i'm kinda hoping since i am not smoking cigarettes that i will get a growth spurt, lol, i'm kinda short almost as short as i was when i started, soooo..........(crosses fingers) and i'm 29 now, and definitely the short guy in the group and god i hate it, lol

HAHA you didn't get any .... tobacco? jokes..... been there done that, passed up that shytty tobacco lmfao... i lived through those withdrawls.. All jokes aside made it a month now and haven't wanted an analog even once, vaping should replace tobacco all together!!

The base liquids they use to make juice are humectants. That means they absorb moisture. Most commercial tobacco contains cough suppressants. (This is one of the reasons heavier smokers often cough more first thing in the morning.) Constantly putting a humectant into your lungs and also putting fresh layers of tar while decreasing your intake of cough suppressants could very well cause a never ending cycle of phlegm creation as your body gets confused. The human lung has the capability to regenerate up until the point of actual tissue damage. (the beginnings of copd) In other words yes vaping and smoking is still better then just smoking. But so long as you continue to inundate your lungs with tar they will never really heal. Also those "cigars" are very poor quality. They are marketed as cigars instead of cigarettes to get around the current massive gap in taxation of cigars as opposed to cigarettes. Cheap off brand cigs (which is what those really are) are not high quality tobacco and are loaded with all kinds of tobbacco dust and filler crap. Quit being cheap and stop smoking that garbage. Anyone who tells you otherwise is giving you profoundly BAD advice. If you are going to consume addictive chemicals it is ill advised to source based solely upon price. Especially if combustion is involved. If you are craving the other alkaloids in tobacco and do not like or cannot afford WTA liquids, you might consider using snus. Or if you absolutely HAVE to smoke. Then get yourself some Nat Sherman's or some other high quality tobacco type that does not have an added chemical payload and does not have any cough suppressant. Also cigars are not supposed to be inhaled. Although I'm not sure that matters because those Cheyennes are not really cigars.

I'm sorry if the above is not terribly helpful. But it's true.
