Wasted money?

[curiousJan]

I feel like I have wasted a few bucks myself. Not on a PT, but on other stuff; especially juices. I have bought/tried juices that I never really cared for, even from the first vape. maybe it sounded good on a review, or was well described on a web page. Now, I have bottles of juices that just "never made it" into my rotation. Waste?

Classifieds ... sell or barter/trade them for something else you want to try. No waste unless you choose.

I take my usb in my car... imagine how many batts I would go through on a 6-8 hour car trip ;-)
vaping at computer as well.

Doesn't using the passthru also save on eventually buying new batteries? If they're anything like laptop batteries I would think so. I think batteries for a laptop have a limited number of "recharge cycles" before the start not holding a charge so well. Or is this not how these batteries work?

I have 3 or 4 mods and an ecig kit but I still use my usb pasthrough almost 90% of the time. I mean the voltage is always exactly the same each time and it's cheaper than battery power. I have a 5volt PT from Mad Vapes. I use it on an ac to usb adapter that was less than $5.00.

I love my PT - heck I have THREE now all different voltages and in case one packs up. I couldnt live without one lol. I work from home so its way more convenient than batteries.
And to the other poster - don't throw the juice away - you tatses will change and you might like something down the road that you previously hated. Hang on to it for a while before you chuck it (keep it some place dark and cool, not the fridge though), unless youve already had it 6 months in which case, throw it out or trade it.

Not at all yano. It takes all of us some time to learn what our faves are. Without experimenting you might have passed your favorite by. I usually haunt the suppliers that sell smaller bottles so that I can order lots of different flavors to try.

For the juices you just don't like, either you can mix them with a complementary and/or stronger flavor, (sometimes a mix of 2 or 3 different juices will surprise you.) or go over to the sell/swap area of the forum and advertise them. Let people know the flavor, size, how much is missing, mg, and maker. That way you can recoup at least some of what you spent on them or trade them for something you like, or something else you would like to try.

So I wasn't sure where to post this, but the title wasted money looked like a good place, as im afraid I did just that....I recently bought a Prado Cig (never again) witch is basically a RN4081. For the first 2 months it was great! I didn't use the liquid it came with, but used the E-smoky treats Cam. This is now the bat doesn't seem to want to activate the atty. The LED will light up, but no vapor. Upon placing another battery on the same atty....boom!-VAP!.....any suggestions on getting this bat to work correctly again? Seems to me if the LED lights up the atty should to. BTW I kinda drip but only enough to prime.

Sometimes the batteries get "dirty-clogged a little". There should be two little holes on opposite sides of the threads of your battery (I'm not familiar with the Prado Cig) If there are two small holes, you take a sewing needle or safety pin and stick it in these holes and poke around in there and clean out any build up. Then try the cig again. 1) it should draw easier and you should get vapor. Sometimes the batteries get dirty and they draw enough to light the LED but do not produce vapor. Try this out and see if it works-Hope So!

I vape at work, and I vape at school. Fact is, people don't smell it, and think that if I am not smoking analogs, all the better.

And you do this in full view of everybody or in the washrooms?
What flavor do you use? Something tobacco related or something else?
Do you use nicotine with your flavor?

So if I'm badgering you a bit with questions, but I want to learn all I can about this vaping.

Every location is different, so you may not have the same experience. I brought my e-cig in to the office and showed it to the HR folks. I told them what it was, and how it works, and explained to them that it didn't violate either the "tobacco free" policy or the no smoking policy, and that I intended to use it indoors. They took me at my word, and I have used it there ever since. I try not to use it in open areas where visitors my see me and be confused, but I do it in my office and the hallways around, as well as in meetings with people who know about it. Since I'm not obnoxious with it, noone seems to mind.

 

[bornagainst]

Fact is Chanel, if you vape, and hold in the vapor for 5 seconds in your office, NO ONE is the wiser. Little if any vapor comes out.

We call it "stealthing".

I'll jump in on this one. I got my 510 yesterday and took it to work with me today. I showed it to my boss and demonstrated it and she was so excited. She wants her husband to get one. I vaped all day at my desk and I'm the receptionist. No one saw me and no one smelled anything. I didn't have to leave my desk today for a "smoke" break and got much more accomplished. I'm still amazed!
