Damn...five years without a cigarette... Whodahthunk that was ever possible for a die hard going to die by my my own hand smoker like me? Amazing stuff this vaping thing... It got under my skin deep and changed my whole world and the way I look at things. I wasn't looking to quit the cigs when I tried vaping , it was just to placate my wife who kept nagging me to at least try it out and see if it helped, well, I guess it did help, cause I started puffing on that Ego battery and T3s clearo and I never looked back...eff you tobacco companies and government lackeys...never another skinny thin dime from my hands into your coffers for what things made me a cougher

On a different subject, I'm catching up, and read about the o-ring replacement.
I've never had to replace a Radius or P3 o-ring.
So, two questions, cause happily owning a few and recalling issues and a good person a while back sent me a handful of o-rings, but for the life of me I don't remember.
First, have I missed something, or do they only need replacing when they crack/break?
Second, should I eventually need to replace one, the pin will remain in position and not fall into the battery chamber while I'm spreading the o-ring with the tool and slipping it over and under the pin. Right? Sounds kinda sexy actually.

Don't worry about it. The original o rings are silicone and have a unlimited self life so, imho, I wouldn't replace until needed. I replaced one on Jackie's Radius and it was real easy. The pin did not fall in. I used a o ring tool to slip it over one side and then spread it over to the other. The tip of the tool scratched the brass but so what. That's why the next time I place a order with Amazon, I'm going to order a snap ring pliers set as advertised in these pages.

Wow, I've said this before and it's no surprise and I'm sure others feel the same all the time but... I need a vape.

YPPAH EVIF, DUANE!!!!
(I had to think that one through)



I can't improve on what's already been said, but suffice it to say that you're one our anchors (that keep us coming back). An accomplishment to be proud of, for sure, and one big addition to your list of those.

, you.

we got to our room at the grand sierra in reno and there was a shower cap on the smoke detector. that's service above and beyond.

I bought some 6 mg PurNic eliquid from Nicotine River.
They had 100% pg or vg or a 50/50 mix.
I got the mix.
Not sure why you would buy 100%.
What are the pros and cons of pg and vg.
I know there are articles about the diff but I want to hear from users.

Thanks much my ProVari friends! Celebrated with a twenty mile ride today, had to stop for a baby deer still sporting its dots, standing in the trail, we sat there looking at each other for a couple minutes before it wandered off into the woods. Was nice nice day here in NC, had some relaxing vapes on my mini Ti sitting at my rest stops along the way...

But, surely you've made a mistake.
I just this morning saw news about a "scientific" study which on the basis of tracking 1000 [wow, that's a lot] smokers who vaped and smoked, concluded that vaping don't work to get folks to quit, and in fact those who vaped and smoked were less likely to quit.
We're frauds, or freaks. LOLOLOL.
These "scientists" get paid to do this stuff?

But, why did you need to replace it? Was it cracked, broken, discolored?
Mine look a bit more squashed than I remember when new. But, that could be my imagination, and it's firing as well as ever.
