I'm looking on the little sleeve that's around it and it says 100% viscose from bamboo. Also if you need nic I just snagged 100ml at RTS. Hurry if you need it.
Well... with many natural fibers, diff in natual/white colors can be from being "unbleached or bleached", which I would think it would mention somewhere....?

I don't know then...? But supposedly we have stores around here that carry it, so I'm going to try to pick up some next week for my T2s. Either white or natural, whichev in stock.

SO... I'm hopping around the forum reading about eGOs and read threads about Li-ion batts catching on fire. And people recommending using fire boxes or charger bags for charging. OH MY. And only charging during the day when one is at home.

Is this a huge concern? I've not even given much thought to charging stuff at night... all night. We have enough stuff plugged into chargers in this house at night to blow up Ft Knox prolly. And other stuff.. like laptops... that are always plugged in.

Do you leave charging batts unattended??

Thanks to all the folks that gave glowing reviews for RTS Vapes. I've been lurking on RTS and Wizard waiting for 100 mg to come back in. And I got a email from Randy saying they were open back up.
This young man and another vendor have a heck of a time with CC companies getting rid of ecig vendors. Randy over at RTS, has posted an item just a short while ago. He states Ihat the FDA has sent out notices stating they will come down on any bank breaking the law in regards to deeming regs. Randy said CC VMS has dropped 150 ecig vendors in the last 2 weeks. " And it's going to get worse."

I don't know about you but my happy place is getting really small. You may take a look here Post #2180 http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...lity-flavorless-nicotine-liquid-made-usa.html

Natasha,

I sometimes leave mine charging while I'm sleeping, but never when I leave the house.

I have a shallow metal tin that I can lay the batteries in while charging. I leave it uncovered so I can see when they're finished and so I can walk by and touch them periodically to make sure they're not getting warm. If they've been charging a while and should be almost finished, I unplug them when I sleep. Otherwise, not.

But, I don't sleep for more than 3 or 4 hours at a time and wake very easily. So, I would hear even a small explosion and would smell a fire. They sit just about ten feet from my head, but blocked by a headboard (At least, I wouldn't get hit!).

The charger bags are strongly recommended. But, I'ld probably never use one if I bought it because I want to see the light on the charger.

Now I'm confused, is the CE5 like the rebuilidable stardust, cuz reg ones are CE4's? I had a CE# cheat sheet but lost it in the move, and there are plenty more of em now anyhow.

LOL Deb.....I think all these vendors like to keep us confused.........yep CE5 = rebuildable stardust :D

All this talk about the FDA and such keeps making me nervous. I've been so tempted to buy more Nic when I get paid.

For now, I've decided to mix up a batch of 0 nic Tiramisu and find out what it would be like without any nic at all. It's steeping today. I'll start using it tomorrow. If it turns out that I really, really need the nic, I guess I'll have to buy more on Tuesday when I get paid and just be broke for a while. Otherwise, I can finally relax and buy a new purple Ego to replace the one that just died (and maybe some other more fun goodies).

Spending all your money stocking up on nic is like spending money stocking up on toilet paper. Useful, yes. But, no fun! I want batteries, kanthal, more atties, . . . Fun stuff.

Dancing...spend it now before it's worthless & "H". With all these CC companies dropping the vendors, the BIG squeeze is on. BTW...what does Tirarnisu taste like or what is it? I've seen it so many times & just can't find a description. :confused:

Oh Dancing We want a journal on how well that no nic goes!! Because after the week I've had, I have thought about the cigs that I still have. Haven't had one in almost 7 months.

Tiramisu ([tiɾamiˈsu], Italian spelling: Tiramisù; lit. "pick me up" or "lift me up") is an Italian dessert. It is made of ladyfingers (Italian: Savoiardi) dipped in coffee, layered with a whipped mixture of egg yolks and mascarpone cheese, and flavored with Marsala wine and cocoa.[1] The recipe has been adapted into many varieties of puddings, cakes and other desserts.

IOW, it's a sweet coffee flavor. I like!

But, aren't the states also starting to crack down on the hardware too, at least e-cigs (batteries designed just for e-cigs? cig-a-likes only? Ego batts too?) I need to know WHAT to buy. The only thing I know for sure that's in danger is nic. The rest I'm not sure about. And, anything I spend over about $50 will cut into my food and bill money. Decisions, decisions, . . . .

I actually have enough nic for a couple of years already. So, if all I need is 2% or if I just need a little nic first thing in the morning, I'm ok. But, if I need 12% + and need it all day, there could be a problem.

But, I'll let you know how it goes. Starting with 0 nic, then go from there. I've got my fingers crossed.

My understanding (very little) goes back to the 'deeming' from several years ago. If I understand it correctly, they'll still allow the hardware that was allowed back in 2008 (or whatever) year & not allow anyone else. I stand to be corrected. I'm using my 18650 mod these days for the sole reason that they aren't going to stop making batteries that can be recharged & I just loaded up on those.

I have an obscene amount of 100mg. nic stashed & I hardly use any. When I started, I was using 48mg. juice & now if I the off the shelf juice, I get 6mg & can't really tell the diff. The good part is I can finally (almost) get some sleep. You should do just fine........

I've never bought Tiramisu pre-made. But, I like Caramel Macchiato from DFW (very mild, almost waffle flavor) and Spring Vapor's Caramel Vanilla Capuccino (very strong, very good - cut it in half to make it just right).

I've tried several of Gourmet Vapor's coffee and cappuccino flavors. They were very good but clogged my atties. No more ordering from Gourmet Vapor!

I don't leave anything charging overnight, only if I am home and keeping an eye on things. All batteries get charged in a metal pie pan. I unplug batteries, cell phones, and computer, laptop, even the TV because it still draws power. The TV thing is just to save money though.

SO... I'm hopping around the forum reading about eGOs and read threads about Li-ion batts catching on fire. And people recommending using fire boxes or charger bags for charging. OH MY. And only charging during the day when one is at home.

    I only charge batteries while I am home and awake. For my 18650's and 18350's, I have a built-in Jenn-Aire grill in my kitchen island. I set the chargers on that while the batts are charging and keep a close eye on them. The ego's I just plug in where I can keep an eye on them. I unplug everything as soon as the green light comes on.

    Tiramisu is an Italian dessert. Very yummy! tiramisu-pic.jpg

    It's one of my favorite DIY juices using Flavour Art tiramisu.
