Went to my local Joeanns to pick up some bamboo thread and they didn't have any so I got cotton yarn. I got froggy and changed the wicks in my iclear 16s with it and it has made a bigger difference in them than cotton did in the EVODs. Next time I change wicks in the EVODs I'll try some yarn instead of ball.

How's about a cartoonish person taking a huge puff off an ego or vamo and his/her cheeks are so puffed up he/she looks like they will explode. With sweat beads on the brow, hair standing on end, maybe electrified?


ETA: Maybe start with one of the smiley faces??? We all seem to love them around here. :D

Now that I can do... time to fire up Photoshop lol! Just have to figure out what kind of vape porn to include with it now... any suggestions?

I haven't tried it yet, was told crochet thread was about the right size. They were out of their bamboo yarn so I got cotton. 3 strands fits nicely through the coils without being tight , but snug, after soaking up and juice. I got Sugar and Cream in white. I'm kinda getting away from my EVODs and using my iclears (16s and 30s ) much more now. The EVODs have too easy of a draw for my liking, especially with the cotton wicks.

Hi every one.
I was just wondering, as a few months ago, after vaping for a year, at 10mg/ml, I started getting ciggy cravings, upped my nic to 15mg, and was chain-vaping about 10ml a day. Tried a ... once or twice, but after a year they've got a disgusting taste.
I'd read about WTA ages before, but it was getting to cracking stage, so I fished about and ordered about 60ml, at 12mg/ml.
I really didn't believe the bla bla, but after a week on it I found I was vaping about 3ml a day. It just happened, no effort, and I didn't get those ciggy cravings. :D
I'm not doing pub, just telling you how it was for me, so don't, please, wipe this out.

Now, 6 months or so later, I'm at 8mg/ml or so, and using 2 to 3 mls a day. The WTA is expensive, so the next mix I do I'll use half WTA half ordinary nic, and see how it works.
But it really did get me over a bad patch, in spite of my unbelief in its' proprieties, so I'd recommend it to people who find it hard quitting the last ..., or those who's cravings get over the top. It helped me, really.

Read up on WTA. There are 3 shops doing it now, although I've tried only 2, but I'm ordering from the third this weeK.

But read about it, there's lots of info, and people who explain the works better than I could.

Hi, Starlyte, and welcome to ECF (and to this forum in particular!!!) Great to see you!
This is a very friendly group, so don't worry about "pub"! There's a bunch of people here who love WTA, and a bunch who have never tried it. But the big thing is not smoking as much as we used to.

Some of us (me, for example) still smoke a little, some of us are going up and down, a lot of us (by which I mean them, of course) are totally off cigarettes, but took a while to get there. It's all cool.

Mark,

Are the Iclear30s that much better than the Iclear30?

I finally broke down and started using one of the Iclear30 that came with my MVP, and was really disappointed. Perhaps I'm spoiled with some of the other heads I've found. I know the 30s is different, but is it that much better than the straight 30? (with the external wick).

(Other heads being EVODS, Iclear16, CE4's etc. The Iclear30 with no S didn't seem much better than any of the others. Not comparing it to anything much higher-end)

Hi, and welcome to the thread, Starlyte2. There are several of us here that have tried WTA and use it. It is said to help quite a bit. I have not tried it so can not comment on it. I am very glad to hear that you were able to get in shipped to you in France. And I am happy to hear that is has helped you so much. It sounds like you are doing well with it.

Tell us, what equipment are you using. Do you find it difficult to order from USA vendors or do you order more from EU or Asian vendors?

I started out with a Vision Spinner 1300mah, then went to an MVP2 and now have a Provari Mini. I love the Joye 510 attys that I drip into and use an evod for out and about.

That would be a definite contender. It looks like it could be any one of us. Except for the apparent mph the figure seems to be breezing by at. But it is probably what a bunch of us feel like. At least the figure is moving in a forward direction. At least that is my take on it.

Any heads up on how you're doing the rebuild? I'd love to try one.

Mark,

I've not tried a regular 30 BUT the S, like the regular, takes over a day to finish saturating the wicks. Mine was weak and unsatisfactory the first day I had it. After a few days the thing puts out room filling clouds but also goes through juice like a Ford Expedition goes through gasoline. It has a much looser draw than the iclear 16s and smooths the tastes out better than the EVODs, much less of a harshness on the taste but without killing the throat hit. The smoothness helps the fruits and chocolates taste more like the real thing than in the EVODs. My Baja Blast and Root Beer Float even have a taste of carbonation.
The Bs have a tighter draw but not as tight as the 16s. Seems to be about what I prefer. They were fully saturated in a few hours and also are juice hogs that can block the tv viewing in only a few exhales The taste and hits are pretty much like the S.
I like the slightly warmer hit of the S but overall prefer the B because of the draw.
Once I put cotton in the 30s I'm sure it'll improve them more.
I'd say stock they're not night/day better than the iclear 16 or EVOD with cotton wicks but they also hold twice the juice and since I'm dropping nicotine levels I feel much better going ahead and vaping like crazy vs mimicking my old smoking habit only. Just putting cotton in my other tanks was like going from a half decent cheap tank to a high end and it only cost me $2 for 200 yards of yarn.

Good morning all! I can stop driving the Granny-Mobile today, my car is finally ready. After the wheel "fell off" it sat for weeks waiting for Tax Refund Fairy to swing by and drop money on us, and then the mechanic had it over a week. Should be driving top-down tonight or at the very latest tomorrow. (I feel bad for saying this but our weather is beautiful right now, and I don't want to miss the chance!)

Hope you all have a great day!

Ok are you all out partying, or sleeping off last night?

:p

Hope you're having fun!!

I'm still not smoking, still don't want to, and trying to taper down the amount of WTA I'm using every day. Currently have 2 different devices with 3 ml tanks, each tank has WTA (one 18mg and one 24mg) so I'm going to have to cut that down to 1 tank WTA and 1 tank unleaded. We'll see if that makes the craving monster sit up and take notice!

Starlyte2, who is the 3rd vendor for WTA that you're going to try?
