Yep, I love "Ms Kanza" because it's so "inclusive" - makes me "one of the gang" and feel like a "known friend to all" Yea! But, I vote for whatever makes someone comfortable and happy to be here because we welcome everyone to our "kitchen table" :) I felt like I "belonged" when Morandir asked if it was ms or mr :p

@CanadianProf - my hubby is also a prof and was busily grading tests but is now napping so I was able to snag his computer instead of trekking to the cold basement to use mine ;) If only students knew, right <roflol> Got your 2nd order ready to go? I know I no sooner had my first in my hot, little hand than I *KNEW* I had to order more right away :) I called it "adjusting" for flavor and nicotine content but, in truth, it was because I was in love with vaping and wanted to try stuff I hadn't ordered on the first one! There, I said it...I admitted it! I am addicted to V4L, vaping, and this forum! A pretty mid addiction when you really look at it ;)

Ms. Nancy and Ms. Kanza thank you... :) It's just how I talk in real life. Think it started when I was 19 or so, and no idea why, but it just feels right...

I love it ,some of my male friends say "ms nancy " ...we used to address two older sisters at work with "ms " as a sign of respect to our elders ....i.,e. how are you today ms rebecca ?"
You are right Ms Kanza ..it is nice .

a piece of advice that I saw no one else give in this thread...

Don't avoid other smokers... it's all too easy to get caught up in the fact that you can now smoke anywhere you want... I personally still follow the rules and smoke outside... I do this because I will NEVER impress a non-smoker with my e-cig... but I HAVE impressed a number of smokers and have gotten more than several smokers to give them a go...

My experience with non-smokers is that they are happy that I quit regulars... but always follow up with "so how long are you going to smoke THOSE things?' and "well, aren't you still addicted to NICOTINE?!?!'... as they suck down their Grande Americano Starbucks to get their CAFFEINE fix..

Have I mentioned how much I HATE hypocrites?

I'll tell you why it 'feels right'...Because it's used with respect. And that's just the right way to be !! And Yes, I agree...It is nice ♥ Thank you

This makes me think of the other day, I was standing in line behind someone getting their cigarettes. In turn the conversation went to the price of them & quitting. I showed the man my ecig, as he asked about it. He then told me that was way too much money to spend on that thing !! As he paid his $55.00 for his carton of cigs he said at least this is a whole carton for this 55 bucks. Mind you he had already ticked me off..lol..I said yeah, you're right. You get a whole carton for that price. Good Deal !! How long does that last you ? You said a week ? I bought this ecig & invested 69 bucks 4 months ago. I'm still smoking the same one....Some people you just can't get through to...

Morandir, I think it's very classy that you address others with Ms. or Sir. I hope I didn't offend you with my Dr response! (It was my lame attempt at being funny.) :)

Thanks everyone, again, for the wonderful tips -- I love this place!

I'm in my office at work as we speak, grading papers, vaping on my passthrough -- loving it! My office door is closed, however (not that there are many people around on a Sunday, but you never know...).

Yep, my second order should arrive tomorrow! (And, somehow, I already have several items in my cart for a third!) LOL

Oh, Maxwell, I hit the send button some time ago! I'm loving my starter-kit along with the enclosed assortment of flavors. According to the USPS site, my second package is "out for delivery," which means that by the time I get home tonight, I'll likely have many new flavors to try!

Yeeehaaaaaw! :)

How do you like the 11mg? I can't wait for Lily to get hers, hoping to get it past Health Canada. hope hope hope!!! I remember getting my starter kit, I was in heaven!!! Have fun!

The 11mg is great! It's taking me a little longer than usual to get to sleep at night, so I'll probably go ahead and order some with 8mg to vape in the evening.

It's been years since I've lived in Canada, so I don't have any experience with e-cigs at the border. I travel there often however; I'm heading to Toronto in a few weeks -- hopefully I won't have any issues with customs or security in the airport! I've been reading about people's experiences in the travel forum and it looks as though I'll be good to go.

Mailing them across the border is a different story. I think it largely depends on luck of the draw; i.e. who handles the package at the border.

My favorites thus far are definitely the Wow Wowboy (11mg) and the Wow Vg Vanilla (11mg). They've both become my all-day vapes. At night, I'm still alternating between several flavors (8mg). I've been trying to fill my used Wowboy cartos with Wowboy juice, but I've had only moderate success thus far (on a few instances, the cartos appear to be dead after I fill them...) I've watched several helpful videos that have been linked in various threads here, so hopefully I'll become more consistent!

As I prepare my next order (my fifth since I started two weeks ago!), I have a few questions:

1. Can I fill my used Wow Vg Vanilla cartos with Vanilla Nobacco juice? Do you think it'd yield a similar taste? Or if it's not similar, would it still yield a good result?

2. Can I fill blank cool cartos with Wow Wowboy juice? (I already have a couple boxes of blank cool cartos.) Or should I order some Wow blank cartos?

3. One of my batteries works fabulously with any Wow cartos, but it simply won't work with any of the flavored carts that don't say Wow on them that I've tried (e.g. peanut butter cup, Cowboy, etc...). My other three batteries work just fine with any and all of the cartos that I have. Has anyone else experiences this?

Thanks for any help and advice you can offer! :)

Oh, and one more thing: V4L and all of you are awesome!!! :)
