The standard ego fires at 3.3 volts, I think. There's a list of ego batteries at health cabin that includes the voltages. I've heard that the lower voltages produce a cooler vapor than higher voltages. Not having a variable unit, I don't really know. As far as taste goes, my taste buds are whacked as I'm still getting over those nasty things. So I expect my tastes will change as they recover. I've also noticed that different juices taste different on different devices. I have no idea what the ohms on my V2s are, but I love Highbrow's Orange Sangre using a V2 carto, but not so much on my 1.7s with my e-power.

My fav juice to date is Island from Johnson Creek is described as a pina colada but it is not at all overpowering like others I've tried very smooth....
I'm also a big Highbrow vapor fan...I know I've read earlier posts on this thread...his Cappuccino Diablo, Creme Brule (yummm!!), Green Tea, and Vanilla Bean decadence I keep stocked up ;)

ditto with my Island juice & ditto on tastebuds...I haven't had an analog since 3/8...

I have to admit, I'm not familiar with an American bulldog. I know the English and French (which is what I would get if I ever have another dog), and my family had Pit bulls for quite a while, lovely dogs who get an exceedingly bad rap.

Mine are direct descendents from the Disney bloodline...you know Petey (little Rascals) & Chance (Homeward Bound)...and they have been awesome...not a bit of trouble or aggression until recently with 2 females & younger one in heat...both stay in but now I have to keep them totally separated...

Always had little dogs, still have a MaltiPoo too, but I wouldn't have any other breed now. I would, however, have to reconsider having 2 of same sex in same household at same time...ugh

Lol, I know what you mean. My grandmother had to keep her two pits separated when one was in heat. We've had lots of small dogs as well. My last was an Italian Greyhound. He passed about 1 1/2 years ago. I just have my cat at the moment. My family has had chihuahuas, mini poodles, Yorkies, and mini schnauzers, as well as boxers and Labs. Oh and the Pits, of course. I find myself being a cat person for now. Like I said, if I change my mind, I'll probably go with a Frenchie.

I'll come back and try to address the vaping stuff a little later if I get a nap & my brain starts working, but for now -dog stuff!
It's very likely that your younger one attacked your older Bully because she's in heat - Female dogs tend to become much more aggressive during their heat, and can attack another female they normally love because of it. Keep them separated until the younger one is out of heat, and then keep an eye on them for a bit, but things should go back to normal as long as your older bully doesn't become tentative or afraid of the younger one. If you're not planning on breeding the little rascal (haha), get her fixed before her next heat cycle - that will make having 2 females in the same house much easier, or always keep them separated if you don't have control over the situation during any future heats.

I've always had big dogs - the two we have now are the smallest I've ever personally owned - we have an 80lb scooby doo pup, a 30lb lhapso/bichon -he was a rescue by the woman who had the litter - his first home was abusive, so she took him back. I met both of his parents - each under 14lbs, but Leo was determined to be a big boy - he comes up to my knees and doesn't have more than an ounce or two of fat on him... he's my big overgrown teddy bear :) I apparently wasn't meant to have small dogs lol - my previous dogs were a dobie, a Great Dane, and an English Mastiff , and I fostered an american bully for a few months - she was a sweetheart! :)

Thanks for the tip! I had it all planned but now I'm calling it off.

Only if you want a massive hangover coupled with swearing to yourself, God, and anyone else who will listen that you're never drinking again because "you're getting too old for this" *sob* ;)

Well it actually wasn't a vodka bath. You see, my fraternity used to make this punch at our parties. Everybody had to bring a clear alcohol and a red liquid (generally it was Hawaiian Punch) and we mixed them in a bathtub. Need I say more? ;-)

Nope, I was introduced to that on a business trip to texas - the club I went to (aaaah, young and stupid!), called it Mule Fuel. It kicked my ..., and I wanted to die the next day when I had to give a systems training to one of our offices. I think I have a flashback hangover just thinking about it!

Well for heaven's sake,, you people have been busy here!! Took me all morning to catch up!

Cheeky,, I've been testing out the flavors you sent and they are DIVINE!! They're very similar to ECB,, light, clean and tasty. You know I don't like tobaccos, but that RY4 is pretty darn good,, that's actually the only tobacco I've ever been able to stand. Lovin the peach champagne and the strawberry cheesecake,, oh yeah and the waterberry bluemelon... yummy! I think the only one I didn't care for was the huckleberry.. a bit perfumey to me. Other than that, I think I need to be making a deej order soon! Trigger point injections???? I actually know a bit about that, in my quest to find out why the muscles in my left hip and leg keep knotting up and causing me no end of grief. My best friend is a tennis ball.. if I can manage to find the knot, I can get it to loosen and relax with constant pressure from the tennis ball.. my issue is the piriformis muscle.. it's deep in your ...., near the hop bone so picture that.. me, on the floor, with a tennis ball under my ...... not pretty, but it works. Unfortunately, it always comes back. I've got several trigger points on my left side, from my shoulder all the way down to my ankle,,, so I do NOT envy you those injections... OUCH!

Glen,,, those clearos look very interesting. Anxious to hear if you like them.. I'm always on the hunt for the next best clearo. I'm not diggin my vivi so much.. I've cleaned it, dry burned it, taken out that extra piece of wick and still by the third or fourth puff it's burnt tasting.. I haven't given up, just need to do some more reading on what everyone else is doing with them. I hate to think I have to completely rebuild the stupid thing,, if I pay for something I think it should work.

Reidus... Chocolate Sin is one of my all day vapes.. if I could only buy two flavors for the rest of my life, that would be one of them. Doesn't need any steeping, it's pretty fabulous right out of the box. Coffees are a different story,, I'm a huge coffee lover and I drink my coffee as strong and black as I can get it... but I've had terrible luck with coffee flavors. I made my own coffee mix at ECB,, added cream and sweet and it's still pretty awful. I'm letting that one sit around for awhile to see if it improves. The best coffee I've found is Heather's Heavenly Mocha Java Smoothie.. that one is pretty terrific.. just a hint of the coffee at the end and not overpowering at all..

Bulldogz.. boy, you've come to the right spot!! We're a bunch of buying fools around here and it seems like we have a lot of the same tastes. Almost everything my buds here have recommended has been fabulous.. I started with the V2 and it wasn't long before I was pretty sick of having to be charging constantly. Went to an Elite 808 and that was good for a while but then I found my KGO.. I was in heaven! Or so I thought. I still use my KGO a lot,, I have four of them and they're perfect to carry at work or out and about. Now I have a lavatube and I truly love this thing. Don't think I need to be shopping around for any more pv's.. I'm still on the hunt for the perfect carto/clearo/tank... whatever. And there's always something new coming out so I kinda feel like I'll ALWAYS be trying something new. For now, I have the best luck with cartos.. and tanks with cartos..

Mythus.. seems like every new storage container I buy doesn't take long to get full and then I need another one!! I know what I need to do.. I need to take all the juices I'm not using, or need to steep a bit and put them somewhere else and just leave the stuff I do use in my storage box. I used to think I was a fairly organized sort, but this new hobby has me totally questioning that.. so much stuff, so many storage boxes.. DARN!! MMMMMMMM, pomegranate lemonade!! Now THAT reminds me of summer... my favorite summer drink is Cranberry Vodka with lemonade.. I wonder if someone makes a pomegranate vodka??? I bet I can find it somewhere!

BHam.. too bad your gf doesn't have any youtube videos,, would love to check out her band.

Wanted to tell you guys how I cleaned my EgoC atty heads.. I have an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner (gotta keep the bling blinging, right?) I put just a touch of baking soda in some hot water and throw those atty heads in there and they get clean as a whistle!! Even got rid of the black pepper!

I got my new batteries and charger today. And guess what? The batteries are too long. They work just fine, but the screw on cap on the bottom of the LT won't go on all the way. I think I read somewhere that they make an extender? But do I really need that.. it's not like I take it out anywhere, just use it here at home. And question about the charger.. it's the XTAR Wp2 II and there's a little slide switch on the side of it.. 1.0a, 0.5a, and 0a. What is that supposed to be set on? Reading the directions that came with it is difficult at best. It's like reading the troubleshooting guides on my lab equipment.. Chinese, translated to German, translated to English... YIKES!! Really bad english and hard to decipher!

Guess I have to get ready for work.. hope everyone is having a great day.. maybe work will be slow tonight and I can come and play for a bit :laugh:

luv, Chocolate Sin's next on my list to load in a carto. I've just been enjoying my spring showers and orange sangre too much, lol. I've been trying my new Boge 2.0s. I'm amazed at how much cooler the vapor is compared to my resurrectors. At first, I was a bit let down as they didn't put out nearly as much vapor. Then I realized that I had been vaping on my battery for around 10 hours, so I replace it with a fresh one. Wow! What a difference. The orange sangre definitely is better on the 2.0s. I also got a stainless steel drip tip with my Boges. Can't quite figure out if I like it better than the rubber or not. It's definitely a different mouth feel.

One thing I did notice about the Boges; after vaping it a while, I started getting a craving again. I switched back to a 1.7 and it went away. I'm guessing that the warmer vapor feels more like smoke. Or maybe I"m full of ..... Who knows? It works, anyway, lol.
