I sure could have used that advice about unscrewing the tank from the coil unit when I got started =)

Good post. I learned a thing or two.

3. So you've got a decent ecig and a few bottles of juice but it isn't doing it for you anymore.

This one got me when I first started vaping. A good friend turned me on to mechanical mods and drip tanks. I haven't turned back since. Matter of fact, I've successfully built a prototype for a box mod. Now I'm looking into producing it.

Thanks for the post!!

That's true - I've actually ended up with Dekang coffee flavour as my favourite, and pretty much given up looking for tobacco flavours. Different strokes and all that.

I tried a couple of coffee flavors, early on, thinking it might make a reasonable substitution for tobacco, but all I could really taste when I tasted them was pipe tobacco -- much too sweet. But then I always seemed to smell coffee, in the scent of a pipe burning. Didn't care for it.

I've tried a couple of sweet flavors, but they just don't do it for me; not sure if it's just that juice, or that taste, or what. Belgian Cocoa smells really good, but doesn't really have any taste. French Vanilla from MyFreedomSmokes smells really good, but has an odd after-taste, so maybe it just needs some time in the dark. MyFreedomSmokes' Snickerdoodle isn't bad, does taste and smell very much like a cookie with a hint of cinnamon, but it's a free sample so it's 12mg, stronger than I can really use -- just tasting it gave me the head-spins.

I've made my own mix of Oak Barrel Cider pipe sauce, Killer Juice's Cinnamon Redhot, and MadVapes' Clove, and it's very good for first thing when I get up; little to no throat hit, and sweet, since all vapes taste sweet to me when I first wake up, so it might as well actually be sweet. But, after I'm awake for an hour, I gotta have max throat hit, or I'm completely unsatisfied, and I can't find that kind of throat hit in anything but tobacco flavors, and the only one I actually like is this Virginia, from MyFreedomSmokes. *shrug* So I'm stuck on that one, for the foreseeable future. Who knows how my tastes will change, the longer I'm off cigarettes. WhatEVER it takes to stay off them, that's what I'll do.

In addition to the tank dump, lack of attention while refilling can result in some really dreadful accidental flavor mixes. Don't ask me how I know. (FYI I do NOT recommend the combination of Menthol and Earl Grey Tea.)

What is this CE mark of which you speak?

Wondering if I have a cheap knockoff.

European Standards system.
CE marking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The CE marking or formerly EC mark, is a mandatory conformity marking for certain products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA) since 1985.[1] The CE marking is found even on products sold outside the EEA, because they are either products manufactured in the EEA and have been exported, or they were manufactured in other nations which have EEA as a prime market. This makes the CE marking recognizable worldwide even to people who are not familiar with the European Economic Area. It is similar then, in that sense, to the FCC Declaration of Conformity used on certain electronic devices sold in the United States.

I did the opposite of unscrewing the wrong half once when I was new to vaping and using Kanger T3S tanks. I went to my local shop and bought a bottle of juice, sat down and went to fill it before realizing I'd unscrewed the tank from the battery but I totally forgot to unscrew the bottom to fill it. Wasted about $3.00 worth of juice and felt like an idiot for pouring it all over their table.

Yes I forgot that was a Vonnegut quote. Thanks for pointing it out.

Almost just did it again myself - I managed to catch myself before it completely unscrewed. Maybe I am learning from experience.

Great advice for newbies.

I'm glad you pointed out the Earl Grey thing. So many flavours (particularly tobacco ones) have that perfumed Earl Grey undertones to them - and I really can't stand Earl Grey tea.

Glad you pointed that out - I always assumed (on no evidence whatsoever) that the CE thing was worldwide, not just European. I should have known better than to think the world was that organised.

As an ego user, I also believe Joyetech brand egos are best. I've gotten 2yrs out of a couple and still going strong.
