Apparently we are not the only species that stalks the mailman. My carrier had to drive in to my property and up to the house because the package he had for me was too big for the mailbox. Lexi had been snoring away in her crate (which was not shut). As soon as I opened the door she came flying out of the bedroom and out the door. She just about ripped my arm out of the socket when I grabbed her collar, but she succeeded in her escape .... and jumped right into the mailman's truck!! He just cracked up laughing, but I reallllly need to train her ASAP. Funny thing: The package was from PetSmart, and full of toys and treats for her. :lol:

Smart doggie. She could smell goodies on the way.:laugh: Rave, I sense that you are going to have a lot of fun AND work with Miss Lexi. She is totally worth it.
 
Hello Volties, i've been lurking around this thread and ECF in general before finally registering. i've been a Volt user for almost 3 months now and it rocks, i just wish i didn't try the other over priced e cigarettes because i almost gave up on vaping because of them. i've been a 1, 1 1/2 Dunhill lights smoker and malborlo lights smoker for almost 6 years. my first e cig was a safecig micro (really expensive, lousy battery life and no PCC but great Flavors ) then i tried the VOLCANO with the portable PCC (cheaper than safecig, but bad quality i received 2 batches of defect batteries and a lot of dud cartoz, didn't like the flavors at all except for the blue water bunch and watermelon) anyway, Finally i landed on the VOLT. i'm really glad that i did.

I've been using prefilled cartoz 18mg as it's really hard to get ecigs through customs and shipping niquids will be really a problem. anyway, i've been thinking to start using the 12mg now. my question is:

is there really a big difference between the 18mg and 12mg?! specially when it comes to TH ?!

please let me know ASAP. as i'm running out of cartoz and i've to place an order really soon.

Thanks and thank you all guys for the help that i found here, Thank you Imagine, you're being amazingly helpful to other volties. Honored to join you peeps :D

Hi and welcome!
I was vaping 18mg for 2 months and now I have ordered all e-liquids at 12mg.
At the beginning it felt lighter...Given a day, I can no longer feel any difference. TH is quite good - it depends on the flavor, I believe. They do taste a little more sweet but you get used to it. I suggest you try it. Or you can order two bottles of the same e-liquid, one 18mg and one 12mg, mix them and have your own mg percentage until you reach the desired one - that's what I did. Phycological reasons, I believe :)

Hi welcome :thumbs: you will feel it more with Nic then with the throat hit in my opinion.... When I moved from 18 to 12 I would just rotate between the 2 for a Few days then move down

I can't ship liquids international due to custom restrictions. That's why I have to stick with the prefilled cartoz. I've heard that lowering the nic level will results in more flavor and sweetness. And each of my orders are kinda big due to the expenses of international shipping.

Yes, a little more flavor and sweetness is correct. TH is good at 12mg - at least all VOLT 12mg cartos I have ordered have great TH.
Just one question: custom restricts only nic containing liquids or liquids in general?

Welcome The_guitarist! Glad you found the Volt and could join us! Interesting that cartos would be allowed but not the liquid. Weird.

Thanks guys, and don't worry about Lexi getting the training she obviously needs. I have gone to obedience classes (which actually trains the owner on how to train the dog) and have had many large dogs in the past, so I know how to do it - it just takes time. She's come a long ways for only having been here a couple of days. Before I get done with her she'll be putting her own toys and brush away, and helping me gather firewood. I'll also train her to find Dave or me anywhere on our property (which is fairly extensive). It might even be fun to train her to help me find morels this spring ... or would that be cheating? :confused:

Liquids in general. Nicotine liquids specially or any liquids contains alcohol

I know if I were a dog with a bent for being a good companion, it would make me feel really good to be as helpful as I could possibly be...wow, I keep forgetting that's it's only been a couple of days! You and this dog have really come a long way!

Hi guitarist, welcome to the thread. I agree with most of the above- i definately can feel a nic level difference from 18mg to 12mg and a mild change in throat hit. I dont know about everyone else but i find that the nic strength found in SI's carto's & liquids to be of higher standard than other vendors. Espcially with the 18mg range. I had been on 18mg for about a year. Was my preferred strength, first time i ordered from SI they only ha 12's left.
My previous attempts to drop to 12 from 18 were'nt so good. With Si its been better than unintentional expected. I now can keep some 18's on hand when i need them.
Hmm hope ur not confused.
Today was my first signalling training shift. It went well even though there was a point failure.
I'll be back later , haha at least lexi made a good impression on the mailman , wouldn't want to think what would happen to your parcels if he bit him. ;)
Have a good day

thanks everyone for your concern and advice RE: my wayward adopted daughter. She is going to stay with her Brother for a few weeks what happens after that is anyone's guess as I have told her she cant come back here. Its sad but as you all said its the only option. I finally got a decent sleep last night even though Michelle had gone back to some random guys place (shudders) I knew I had resolved things in my own head and I was ok with my decision. My partner and family are more than ok with it they are down right relieved. Anyway enough about my personal stuff on this thread I apologise for tossing that out in the wrong place I was just a bit desperate.

Back to SI talk... well after a few days of the volts with some very full on vaping understandably LOL I have to say the batteries held up well. I like the liquids I have tried especially classic grape but I hear the new grape is not as nice and thats a shame. I loved the RY4 but the Vanilla... YUK lol. I wont be buying vanilla that stuff is nasty!! Cappachino is ok... I will be looking foward to the other flavours I have ordered to arrive so I can really make a more full analysis of the juices but so far I can at least see me sticking with RY4. Oh and I forgot the watermelon I dont mind that either! I think I will still end up having some SI juice and FSUSA as well. But over all the cartomizers are the BEST I have ever tried and I have tried quite a lot! And the batteries can really take a pounding and Im very glad Mel put in 4 of them over the last couple of days they ALL got a pounding LOL!!

Again thank you all for being so supportive and giving me great advice. I really needed to hear your points and you were all right. Hopefully by the weekend I can have my house and my life back with much less worry and drama. Love you all!! xoxo

I'm glad to hear you resolved your dilemma.

As for SI flavors, it sounds like you have similar taste to mine, and I really like the chocolate (which was a surprise) so I suggest you try that. It's got a dusky, dark chocolate taste that some people say is like cocoa, but I think of the rather sweet drink, so I say it's more like dark chocolate, not as sweet as you'd think.

I think I'm going to give my chocolate carto a rest for a while, though, and revisit some of the other flavors. Just for variety, not because I'm getting tired of chocolate.

Hi MegaBee. Glad you're getting things worked out.

I like SI's RY4 too. Also like Cowboy and New Grape. Classic Grape is good too, I just like the New Grape a little better. I'm addicted to the Chocolate! lol There are a few FSUSA juices that I vape too, Cocoa Raspberry is delicious. I have bottles of SI's Vanilla and Cherry that I keep on hand to 'doctor' up juices that need help. It's funny how all our tastes are different. Some juices get so many raves and then I try them and....bleh!

lol yeah! I think its very much a me thing with the vanilla, I havent found one I liked yet so thats defanitely not SI's fault LOL! The RY4 is the best one I have had yet so I am really impressed with that. I will be trying the new grape because I do love grape also so hopefully the other opinions on the new grape is also just personal taste and not a bad over all juice. Either way its not that bad if you get a bad juice you can always like you said add something else to it to try to make it better LOL!!! Im so stingy most of the time I will still eventually vape the bad stuff so as not to waste my money hahahaha!! I got an email today about the big order I had made and it did finally ship today... I guess the only bad thing I can say about that experience is that they should email me if things are out of stock and give me an option to swap my order with something else rather than say nothing and wait for the thing I ordered to come in. Especially if you pay the most expensive shipping option. To me thats a give away that Im in a hurry for my gear lmao!! Oh well it should be 2 weeks from now so Im getting into stalk mail man mode next week.

Wow - you are as far down in MO as you can go aren't you? I live between Columbia and Kingdom City, MO!

Glad to see another Missourian here:) WELCOME!!!
