    Ecigs to come from China but the profit created does stay in the states. It also helps supports this community and I thank everyone who supports not only Vapor Talk but any US supplier. US suppliers use the post office which helps keep their job, purchase bags and tape etc which helps someone else keep their job, we pay servers costs which helps some tech keep his job. When you purchase direct sure you save a few bucks but I mean seriously, you where spending far more on cigarettes. But people will choose to do what they do. I can say that the more customers shop China the harder it is to stay afloat. But hey that's economics. I can say if we have another large seizure or customers keep moving over to the Chinese sites, I've already told my wife I'll step out and shut this place down. Last year we lost so much money I had to cash out my 401k to keep this place afloat. Someone mentioned "cartomziers are just rebranded.." Well so is your refrigerator, iPod, cellphone computer etc. That's how business works. The difference is that consumers have more information in this industry than others thanks to forums like this. We don't sensor it. Though we could if we wanted to. When you purchase toilet paper for 5 bucks at Wal Mart, trust me, Wal Mart didn't pay more than 1 dollar for that bag. The mark up pays for all the overhead and of course profit. e liquid that costs a "whopping" 7 bucks and last 3-4 days even longer for some. A pack of cigarette is 6 bucks and lasts maybe a day....

    This is getting way off topic, My apologies if I offended anyone. I smoke the ego mega, and I enjoy it very much. Maybe I was misunderstood, I would rather support an american vendor for a product even if it costs a little more, than to send my money directly to another country in order to save a few bucks. Having experienced exactly what happens to the guy trying to make a living here, only to get his job outsourced because someone wants to save a few bucks hits home for me. Like I said just my .02. On another note, Chris have you thought about offering a variety pack of e-liquids? I for one would be interested.

    I know some may have been offended by the way VaporNewbie was trying to make his point, but I agree with his actual point. Maybe I feel this way because we live in the same state and have seen our economy become one of the worst in the nation because Americans continue to support foreign business. Our economy here is based so much on manufacturing and automobiles that with people trying to save a few bucks instead of supporting American business, we have fallen on such hard times. I understand that alot of the E-cig industry comes from China and theres just no way around it but I will be more than happy to spend a few extra bucks to buy from American suppliers who not only provide jobs but also put their profits made back into our U.S. economy which in fact also will have a positive effect on others livelyhoods.

    You are so correctJolly. And I truly appreciate you, and people like Chris, who are taking the many risks involved in providing us with such good products. We need more young entrepreneurs such as yourself, and a government that is willing to allow you to contribute.

    I have a job thank you very much. and I've yet to purchase from China but I know some of the supplies i've bought from US suppliers origionally came from China. I"m a good person and I support US suppliers, I also don't judge ppl for whereever they decide to order. I was just making a point that apparently you didn't understand. and Yes your a bit harsh to my taste. :P

  9. Yep you can use 510 attys on the tornado battery, the tip is the blank cartridge that comes on your tornado. . .First, blow out the atty from the end you screw into the battery (to get the factory primer out of it), then take your juice (hope you have juice), and drop about 4 or 5 drops in onto the bridge of the atty, put the blank cartridge back on the atty and take a few puffs without inhaling, just blowing the vapor out, then you can take a real long vape on your e-cig. At that time you shouldn't have any of the factory primer taste. Then about every 4 or 5 inhales you will probably need to top off with 2 or 3 drops on your atty. Then it is inhale, drip, repeat. It gets second nature after a while. You don't even think about topping off you will automatically do it, sometimes you will forget and you will get a nasty taste in your mouth and that will indicate that you are letting your atty get too dry, which is not a good thing. Just keep your atty wet and you will be in vaping heaven. I hope others will give you some more adivce I'm sure I forgot something. Like I said, it will become second nature after a while

  10. Hey there So the Tornado is an branded "Joye eGO". You didnt mention if you have a tornado tank, or a standard one. The tank has the 1.1 ML clear or blue tanks that you fill up with juice, verse a cartridge that you saturate with Juice. So a few things. the Tornado (standard) has a 510 atty, so any drip tip that works with a 510 atty works with the tornado. Also if you want to try out dripping, just take the filler out of your cartridge, remove it and drip into the atty, put the empty cartidge back on as a mouthpiece and you are good to go. I used this method for several weeks before I bought some drip tips. If you have a tank model you only need to get a new 510 atty, and atty cover and drip tip, these will fit on the tornado (eGo) battery without any adapters. As far as how you drip, go check out this video, http://www.vaportalk.com/forum/forum/forum/topic/7308-how-to-direct-drip/ Let us know if you need more information.

    I see that the VT Store is out of stock on those cartos. Vapor Kings have them for $8.95 for the pack and they are Boge. Vapor Kings does a bulk rate on 510 attys but I don't know about the cartos. good luck in your search.

  13. This list is 3 pages long. The FDA and is trying to ban our eCigs and make us go back to regular tobacco which contains ingredients approved by them. It's quit cold turkey, or go back to cigs and die. Quit or die. I don't believe in banning cigs, ecigs, or lightbulbs. I believe in freedom of choice. Which would you rather choose? Not yet approved eCigs with 4-6 ingredients (PG or VG or both, flavoring, sweetener). or approved cigareetes with something like 4000 ingredients approved by the FDA.... Can't quite yet drop that lingering pack a week? Read this! http://quitsmoking.about.com/cs/nicotineinhaler/a/cigingredients.htm

    Out of a job yet? Keep buying foreign.... Seriously, why don't you move there and then you can buy everything you need from them and really save a few pennies.... Stop sucking up US money to ship out, and get a clue. If I appear harsh.. well take it how ya want. Just my .02
