I'm curious. Can any of you hold your Volt like a cigarette? I've tried but it feels too unwieldy.

I just don't hold it the same. It was instinct, I think. I don't know that I've ever tried to hold it like a cigarette, but if I did in the beginning, I must have discovered the most comfortable way to hold it fairly quickly, since I don't even remember it being an issue.

OK, I just tried to hold it like a cigarette. I think it's not so much the weight but the feel, mostly that it's fatter and the surface is firmer.

Congrats on becoming a Vet Starsong!

Plans for the weekend - Hmmmm - How 'bout turning the bots loose on floors covered with muddy paw prints, working on the collage, playing games making bizarre sodas with my Sodastream (like "Grime Soda" = a combination of grape and lime), cleaning a BUNCH of Volt cartos, and working on heeling with Lexi.

BTW - She's made herself right at home. Although she can be a bit of a drama queen when Dave goes downstairs, she's much more secure now and doesn't feel the need to follow me everywhere anymore. Lexi is almost creepy-smart and it takes no time at all to teach her something IF she's in the mood. If she's not in the mood, she's just as stubborn as she is smart.
Ha, I'm like that too! :)
Wow, sounds like she just needed to know that you're not going anywhere, and when you do, you'll always come back - just like an abandoned kid. Great to hear that she's acclimating.

The wind was blowing like crazy last night, and the rain was really coming down hard. Thankfully, I didn't have to drive in that but I welcomed it because I was concerned that a drought might be coming our way. Hope this storm gives Reno some relief from the fire.
Oh, I know. That storm was kinda scary and loud. Had me sitting here thinking "Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore."
And yeah, I too get crazy looks, and the occasional stalking, from cops. To the point where I have to keep it on the D/L when they're around now. Sucks.

You're right about the feel. What I've always liked about the e-cig is that I don't have to worry about crushing the filter if I hold onto it too tightly. I find that I tend to hold mine like I would a pen. I'm going to add the comfort tips to my next order to see if I can use them to hold the Volt between my teeth, like Wuzznt does. It would be nice to be vape hands-free when I need to.

I thought I heard thunder last night, but that might have been the strong winds.

Yeah, I've been expecting them to pull me over and barrage me with questions. So far, that hasn't happened. When it does, I already have answers. Agree, it sucks.

Oh wuzznt - even though you posted within 2 mins of me yesterday i had already jumped offline.
Im so accustomed to popping on here and finding 1 or 2 online it was a nice surprise today too see so many little green online stats.!!
YAY! my grampa (smoker of 60 yrs, PAD, hes 78)
Is 2 weeks quit using the volt.
We got ours the same day in the mail together, And he said hes stopped couging up gross stuff every morn and night!!
YAY rhianna big cheers for Grampa!!! That is a wonderful achievement for someone his age!!
Make me happy to hear. My gramps was a pipe smoker all his life, he made it too the ripe age of 100. ( stopped the pipe at around 80yrs) Sometimes i wish he knew about these devices before. I was unfortunate to be half way round the world from them and only met them 4 times. I sure do miss both of them.
I have however addopted a new grampy at work who visits me once a week for a chat n giggle!!
Today is laze day, 30deg minimal wind and i cant decide on what to do today.
I hope everyone is enjoying there weekend so far. ( apart from the scary rain ;)

Where I usually am
Just wanted to give a update on my Volt experience.:) Whats yours?

Since June of 2011, I have been vaping the Volt exclusively with SI's flavors and cartos and have to say it's been the best experience I've had with any electronic cigarette. In the beginning with SI, I have cheated a couple of times with a eGo, I'll admit. lol! Since June, out of all the batts I have purchased from SI, I finally have 2 batts that are dying / getting week and are ready to be replaced. That's nearly 7 months later! Can't complain about that at $14 a pop!

I vape most of SI's flavors and still, as most here know, the 555 is my most favored vape and I cant see any other flavor taking it's place.. but that's just me:) and trust me,..I've vaped a ton of diff flavors from MANY diff venders and there are few out there but.........

Before SI, I use to make my own nicquid and vaped big batt mods etc.... had a lot of fun with that too! Sometimes I miss it BUT!, SI has all that I need or want. Except for drip tips damn it! I need more drip tips:p

Anyways,.... Thanks SI! :)
