Somewhere out there
I'm just getting to the bottom of my first fill on the Apollo....hasn't leaked a drop. My only negative (and it's no big deal) is figuring out when it's almost empty....assume that will be easier after getting there the first time). Also using one of the new V2.5 Vivi Novas...it is performing very well.

I just ordered a couple Apollo tanks to try for my VV egos. I use the glass tanks on my Provari but I need a tank that is easy to take along on an ego so hopefully I like it! bnrk

Harley did you see GV has the coil module for the ViVi for 1.49 with a limit of three for each ohm value.

Well I'm going to make it thru the weekend on my scarce supplies. The 510 extension did help on the CE4 draw issue but I'm not impressed with them overall and will probably put them away. I know CE3s work and I know Resurrectors work so that will be my road gear from now on. The CE4s like to deposit droplets of juice on the battery, probably condensation. The Nova tanks arrive tomorrow so we'll see how that goes. I'll also have some GV Fluxomizers in the mailbox when I get home today. Supposedly they are easier to fill (no syringe) and work as good as the CE3s - we shall see...

Interesting observation. About a year ago I ended up on blood pressure meds for the first time in my life. Also, I had to cut way back on coffee and other things to keep it normal. Ive been on the same meds for over 6 months now so I was pretty used to what my BP would be in the morning before I took my pill and it was always higher than it should be - hence the meds. Since I started vaping I noticed it has dropped considerably so I ran a test yesterday. I take one pill in the morning and a different pill in the evening for maintenance. Anyway, I skipped the pill last night and did not take the morning pill either.

I puttered around the house doing chores, spent some time on the computer, and I was vaping the whole time. I also drank some coffee (I still drink less than I did). Anyway, I just check my BP 3 times in the past 10 minutes - and it's just a shade over what was normal for me prior to last year. It averaged at 130/70 without having any meds for over 24 hours. Yes, I'm extremely happy and yes, I took my pill as I won't risk it until I've seen my Dr again. It obviously isn't just the nicotine in smokes that affects BP as I'm still getting nicotine albeit from a different source.

Perhaps, someday, I'll be off the BP meds for good!

Yay NGIB!! I was hoping you'd be able to muddle through the weekend. Actually this was a good learning experience. We always talk about what we use on a daily basis, but travel can be tricky.

I'm happy with the PVs I have and use now, my search is for the "perfect" delivery system. I really hope the Nova tanks coming in tomorrow become my "at home" solution. Still searching for the "at work" solution as well. It will be back to CE3s but I have hopes the Fluxomizers sitting in the GA mailbox work like they're supposed to...

Keeping my fingers crossed for you on that one NGIB... Myself, I have had an 18% increase in my lung capacity and have had a small drop in BP (I was pretty good anyways, just better now), but the improvement with lung and oxygen I hope continues... Staying off of burning tobacco just has to be the reason behind it...

I had the BP of a teenager until last year and the Dr had no idea why it jumped like it did. When I went in for my first colonoscopy 3 years ago, I was terrified lying on the gurney but my BP was a steady 120/65. Who knows why it went crazy but I'm convinced that vaping caused the improvement. Just another solid reason to keep searching for the perfect combo of juice & delivery...

Within my first four months of vaping, my SBP & DBP dropped 11 points each and my O2 absorption went from 92 to 98.

Also, on my last dental visit, the dentist said that my gums were in excellent condition. Two years ago there was some concern as to their health.

Now if I could just find some Ragaine and Citonella jooses...
 
Yep, I'm just 50, smoked for 30+ years, started sneaking smokes at 14, but didn't really start regularly until I was 21, it's not quite been a month since I started vaping and quit tobacco and I already feel better. I don't cough like I used too and the stench has already gone from my home. I started with throw-aways then got an Ego w/510 atomizers & carts. Since then I've got dual coil cartos., Vision V2 clearomizers (my fave of what I have tried so far), CE4 xl bottom coils, and single coil cartos. Just got my first "mod", an Ego 18650 w/2000mah battery. I've spent a lot of time reading the forums and watching vaping vids on youtube, I hope I've picked up some knowledge, it seems like I find out something new or something new comes out everyday. I hope to make vaping a long term hobby and look forward to building my first real mod myself.

Happy Vaping :vapor:

Welcome little brother and howdy neighbor Hondo!

Wahoooo NGIB! Glad you'll make it through your weekend. Good lesson in that for all of us! I need to go watch the video again, I was thinking the fluxos did have to be filled with a syringe. I still get all this stuff so confused.

I finally told some folks today that I'd quit smoking. I figured I'd wait til it had been a month, (which will be next Sun the 24th), but next Thursday makes 4 weeks (kinda like a month) lol So today at church I finally told them that next Thurs will make 4 weeks without a cig and they were thrilled. We're a very small, laid back, country church, so half of em either smoke or did smoke.

Welcome little brother and Hondo. Glad to have you here.

Deb congrats. I remember when your sig. said 7 days :) It's great, isn't it to see those days add up on the counter?
How's that maraschino cherry juice you got? I'm still searching for a good cherry flavor. Just got black cherry from ECBlend but haven't tried it yet.
