Same here Sandy, never could stand the smoke in my eyes and nose while holding a cig in mouth LOL!

I Also don't hold my e-cig like a cig, hold it about like you do with variations on finger positions. When I was in NY this past Sept for my moms funeral, I was vaping away for almost a full day before anyone even really noticed, they all just thought I was "chewing on a nice pen"...until my sister finally noticed "is that smoke coming out of your mouth?" LOL


I Just got in my order of a six pac (30) of the new SI soft tips "comfort tips" just today. At 5 for $1.99 you can't go wrong!

Been using Delrin drip tips for quite some time as I found that when not using them, I would get an awful metal taste in my mouth all the time (I'm normally way sensitive to metals that are not pure gold or silver...they turn green and disintegrate after too much contact w/my skin LOL), and the drip tips helped keep my mouth away from the metal in the cartos.

Anyhoo, really like them (the new SI ones that is)! You CAN if necessary hold them between your teeth without your teeth shattering, which is nice. I DID however, make a mistake when I first tried them. I pushed it down too far and was rewarded with a mouthful of nic-juice...NOT pleasant!


As far as the PCCs, I got an older one free awhile back from SI for spending $100, but have yet to use it. I have enough batts to keep me going and I have an inverter in my car which will charge anything while traveling, and the Volt batts last long enough so I don't see the need (but that's just me).


As far as refilling the carts, either keep the same juice in the same cart for as long as possible (I've had the same cart with Halo juice Prime going since Aug 2011 w/no probs), or, as you mention, re-fill w/ a compatible flavor, or just simply clean them an start all over. The hardest flavors to remove from cartos or attys are: Cinnamon( hardest), Coffee, Mint/menthol, Lemon and the horrible Cognac flavor (which NEVER comes out Ikky). So keep that in mind when re-filling.

PS, a Good cleaning out with straight PG also helps remove other flavors (and can be vaped while dong so...particularly handy for atty drip flavor tests), just not as quickly with Cin, mint or that ikky Cognac...Actually, I had to throw out the ones w/cognac...just couldn't get rid of it. The rest were OK after a good cleaning and a PG cleaning etc.

Thanks for the tips. I was hoping to avoid cleaning the cartos by just adding more juice. But some flavors I have, I don't enjoy well enough to get more of the same, so I'm thinking of what to top them off with and vape a combo flavor till the new flavor takes over. There are no SI flavors I hate, but definitely ones I don't prefer, so I'd like to change them to ones I prefer w/o cleaning cartos, if possible. Maybe I'll concoct some strange flavors and have to clean the carto anyway, but it's worth the experimentation, I think.

Imagine hinted that more flavors might be on their way. I'm curious about what they might be. At the top of my list is cinnamon, and someone else mentioned a desire for hot cinnamon recently, too. I agree: not the sweet pastry kind but the red hots kind. I'm also wondering about a citrus flavor -- maybe orange? Have any of you tried a flavor like that? I'm not sure if I'd like it or not. What other flavors would everyone like to see?

Orange sounds interesting. And Irish Cream.:)

I hope Imagine will pass along our suggestions. I would love some pre-filled SI cartos in cinnamon. Either 30mg, 32mg, or 36mg. Have seen them around, and I know Imagine wants to stay on the cutting edge. Hopefully we will see some great new flavors in the new year. :)

I'd like cinnamon but in a lower nic level, so I hope it would also come in the standard ones SI now has.

irish cream for sure! and mint chocolate.

I noticed if im vapeing menthol and eating somthing chocolate (or drinking) its SO awsome just liek mint chocolate

What about putting chocolate on an old mint carto or vice versa? I plan to do things like that. I want to wait till the cartos I want to fiddle with are low enough, though. There's the dilemma. I vape the cartos I like best and the others usually sit.

The reason I have so many prefilled cartos of all different flavors is that I got all the sampler packs. That worked very well to find out which flavors I like best, but now I have one carto of a flavor I like less. What to do with it? I definitely will add chocolate to cappucino. I think that would make it more interesting. I'm thinking of a bottle of menthol burst or ice menthol (I can't decide), which might be ineresting with vanilla. And either could go with some tobacco flavors.

So this brings up a question. How empty do the cartos have to be before you can top them off? I figure I'll have to bite the bullet and vape some flavors I'm not too fond of, just to make room for a possible improvement.

When I add Mint to the Vanilla, I do one of two things: either spin out some of the existing juice to make room, or just vape it for a little while to use up some juice.
For ones you dislike, spin out the all the juice you can.

Being the frugal sort, I'll vape them till I can make room. Hmm ... maybe one of the cappuccino cartos is low enough now. I think I'll add chocolate and see how that goes. For some reason, I got 2 cappuccino cartos and no Freedom carto, since SI switched which packs these were in while I was trying & buying flavors. So if I add chocolate to the one I've had longest, then I can vape them both and see how much difference there is between pure cappuccino and chocolate-cappuccino. Now I want to do that, even though I should be shutting down the computer and going to sleep.

I agree that spices would be interesting, and I suggested some I thought of. Can you think of any more? What kinds of tobacco flavors would you add?

Actually, I would have to think about it more seriously - however off the top of my head a clove spice w/menthol might be nice or ginger & cin. would be first thought . . . A deep rich tobacco with a touch of spice & menthol ( not Mint or anything close to a peppermint spearmint - NOTHING MINT!!!)

Thank you :) I didn't opt for a party, which would have been on the 1st. Which also now means I don't have a welcome thread, so I have nothing to post for the contest. Bummer, huh? That'll learn me :( But there are lots of folks that joined just after me, so when you get the email from the moderator asking if you want the celebration, tell them yes and you'll be able to participate in the contest too.

I think/believe you can still enter the contest - especially for the big grand prize - You might want to double check it out - some really nice prizes too :)

Very true, and workable that way.

For myself, I DO KNOW that I DO NOT LIKE the Chinese flavors that I've tried.


AND I DO KNOW that SI has the BEST Hardware (batt selection. cartos, etc.)! and will continue to recommend SI for that reason alone. SI Is GREAT as they are, focusing on bringing to US the hardware that we need and want.

Hands Down, SI is the Absolute best!

However, (and Imagine, please enlighten me If I'm wrong) SI does NOT make their own juices, so I don't feel bad anymore recomending others Juices)

Guess I'm working out in my mind (and here to you) how to best help a friend w/all this who is a bit (alot) computer illiterate. It IS all overwhelming to the un initiated.....


Forgive me if I test this all out on you first.

I Still consider myself a bit of a Vape Virgin LOL :toast:

Lol I caved and ordered a couple of the bloog mega batts (I promise that's all I got from them LOL) but I'm not sure if the batts I got sent to try are on the way out but they don't seem to be charging for as long or lasting as long. I decided 2 long ones would be a good idea to add to my kit in case I'm stuck out for a long time and my volts die. Maybe I vaped the life out of them after a big stressful week last week :( or maybe the old pcc is packing it in.
