Slight Panic - Running Out Of Carts Tonight

[JohnReagan]

Here's a question I personally haven't found answered yet, although apologies if it has been.

I've got one cart left because of bad planning. I absolutely don't want to go back to analogs to get through the night and I can't order anything next day air because I can't afford it.

Can I get away with just buying CVS Pure Glycerin USP just to get through the week? I've read the threads (particularly one from March) where people have gotten nauseous and of course mileage may vary. My question isn't from a health standpoint. What I specifically mean is that I'd like to drip a little VG unto the wool of any empty cart and vape it. No nicotine, obviously. Is what I'm saying even possible to at least get the 'feeling' of smoking?

Of course, I could go to the mall tomorrow and pay a ridiculous amount of $16 for 5 cartridges from Smoking Everywhere. I wholeheartedly do NOT want to do that. Thanks in advance!

Yes. Others have done this. The pg will give you a throat hit and the vg will give you vapor.

kingpincig dot com is FL. why not order it there?

Just read this one today.

There's also a thread around here somewhere about using snus to make e-juice -- or maybe it was snuff. Anyways, you can soak it in PG and then vape the PG. Of course, I don't know what the nic level is from that. Might work with VG. Also, most people recommend thinning the VG with distilled water, as it's a bit thick to just vape straight. You can flavor it too, if you can find some LorAnns at the grocery.

I kind of want to pick it up in person right now, if you know what I mean; The whole instant gratification thing while I wait for E-Juice to arrive.

Kellog: Beautiful. There's one vote for a yes.

Also, you can use VaporSearchUSA to see if there's a vendor close to you. Kiosks are popping in malls all over, but they're more expensive. Also, I've read about truck stops and 7-11's carrying disposable e-cigs.

Oh now that's golden! Awesome link. I've been thinking about asking that. I have 2 tins of Snus in the fridge right now. Man, that was terrific, thank you.

You can absolutely vape straight VG...or diluted a little with water. (It's pretty thick.)

have you checked out the Pay It Forward group? maybe there's someone local that could help you out. i think you need to have more posts (maybe 15, time to find a "get posts" thread in this section) to join it though. it's a good group of people there and worth checking out anyways.

Personally, I view buying some stuff from the mall at a higher price is no different than visiting a different store for analogs in a pinch.
Analogs at my preferred corner gas station are $4.91 for Winston. Wal-Mart has them at $6.97 which I've done once because I was out and nowhere near my gas station.
Spending $5 for 5 carts might be cheaper but if you're 100% sure you don't want analong, go to the mall. Maybe there's a juice vender there and you can just refill your carts.

Michaels and other craft stores usually carry the Lorans flavorings. You can add a few drops to the vg to give it more taste. Don't know anything about extracting nic from snus so I can't help you there.

That's an excellent point Poisonette. $16 for 5 carts here but that's still less than $5.07 I was paying for a box or more a day ... and I get hours out of carts.

Strigoi : Hadn't heard of the Pay It Forward group - something I'll surely be checking out.

Thanks to everyone! Well I'm now armed with Pure USP Glycerin from CVS and some Vodka. Let's see if I can make some short term magic! I should video tape this.

This could be interesting... will have the popcorn ready

check the social groups part of the forum you could have a supplier closer then you think.

I picked up 2oz of VG from Hobby Lobby (cake decorating section) for $2, and 4 drams (3.7ml ea) of LorAnnes flavors for $1.60 each. I used the flavored VG for boredom vaping when I didn't "need" nic.

75ml of 0mg nic juice for < $9.

I now have a 2oz bottle of 36mg nic juice to mix my own.

A whole lot of Floridians here, do any of us live close?
I think Totally Wicked has a store in Bradenton.

I am close to the beaches-Jax/Atlantic/Neptune can even do the St Augustine area.

Hey that's a great link. Thanks. Love the community atmosphere you have going on there. I'm way down South but it would be interesting to join.

For LandJet and anyone else interested I've clumsily filmed my incursions into the land of glycerin mixed with whiskey ... couldn't find that vodka. I couldn't have done this tonight without you guys. Maybe this will help someone - even if it's on what not to do!

I've been vaping nothing but CVS Glycerin for the last 6 hours and feel great! I've been Nicotine free. I lit up an analog and felt a head rush and elevated heart rate. Of course, I still very much crave some Nicotine. Hope the link works. Just in case it's on youtube dot com / watch?v=YhSlHCNY5cA

I got a big bottle of VG at Wally World and will vape it straight at times. I have also mixed it with juice. Just shake well and let it sit for awhile. I always give a good shake before using it too.
PM on the way, I got something to send you.

Superb advice! Many thanks
