I use a syringe too to fill cartos. Dripping doesn't get enough in there, and the condom thing is just too messy for me. Just make sure that after you fill them that you give them a few minutes to absorb the juice, then gently blow any excess out of the tube.

We're all right here if you need help. :)

I don't really want a syringe in the house (kids). I do blow all the excess out and generally there is a lot. I leave them sit for a good long time before I use them (usually fill in the afternoon for the next day). The condom thing is a bit messy but when I drip fill, its messier! I was told not to get any juice in the whole of the carto, but either way (drip or condom) juice always gets into the hole, thats what I end up blowing out. I feel like I'm wasting juice. I'll get better. I just wish I didn't crave the analogs soooooooo much.

It will pass janie, the first few weeks are rough, but once you make it past that hurdle it gets really easy. Just make sure you are using a high enough nic level to take that craving down. I made the mistake of starting with 12mg, it just was not enough.

I have a locked tool box for my vape things, that way you don't have to worry about little ones getting into it. In my case, it's not kids anymore, it's my dog. :facepalm:

Thanks for the welcome. Ummm, I can't remember what I ordered :facepalm: I just need to find a few juices that will take my craving for analogs away! I've been at this almost two weeks. Was down to 6 analogs a day and now I'm back up to around 10 - better than the pack+ I was smoking. Everything I've ordered thus far is either to strong or too weak. So I'm hoping Copper Creek is awesome as you all say it is! I don't think I will enjoy fruits. What I'd really like is a nice strong mocha!! My other issue is filling the cartos - I tried the condom method and the drip method. I've burnt through 5 cartos (that is so gross) so I threw the cartos away.
How are you doing the drip method? My way was time consuming, but it was pretty effective. It was a combination of the drip and condom method. I put the condom on the thread side of the carto, and slowly dripped on to the side of the carto with it tilted. You have to go slow so it doesnt fill the hole. Once you start seeing the juice seep into the carto, let it sit for a few minutes (aka, fill more :D). Usually you can add one or two more drops to make sure its topped off. Take the condom off the carto, and you can pour it back into the bottle. When you blow excess juice out, dont blow too hard. You end up blowing juice off of the coil and it will never clear the tube.

For your cravings.... I was a pack day smoker of Camel Lights. I started with 12mg, but quickly found it wasnt enough. I jumped up to 18mg for my all day, but keep most everything else in 12mg, just so I can chain vape for hours on end. Im not a big fruit fan, but the Cool Aid is amazing, but House was the flavor that let me kick the habit completely.

Sounds like he has a chest cold....
croup would be a scary loud bark..
if you're ever unlucky enough to hear it
its something you never forget...
a good expectorant (guaifenesin), will help....also rubbing
Vick's vapor rub on his chest is a never fail old
time remedy....:)
Yeah, this is definitley not the first time weve dealt with croup. But its never progressed to anything beyond that barking cough before now. Its another reason we are so worried about it. And the Vicks didnt help at all. We had it on him for almost three full days.

I'll give the details of the pulmonary doc visit after the game.

Once you find the right process and setup that works for you, you'll make it.

I would have enjoyed it more if the place was actually on fire. Finish my coffee, vape and watch it burn. Maybe walk over to the store and get some marshmallows.

At first I was like yeah! I wouldn't mind if my work placed burned down either! Then I remembered I work from home. :facepalm:

what she said...:)

What they said! We're worried about the little guy with you, we need to know what the doc says.

We have all been there!!! After smoking for 25+ years it was rough on me too. I definitely believe in a phased approach as that is what worked for me... setting targets on the number of analogs per day I allowed myself. Also, the nicotine level makes a major difference too. I was unable to get below 6 or so a day before I moved the nicotine up to 24mg. Once I did that, it became much easier (but not easy) for me to quit them completely.

Hope this helps!!!
