Hello everyone I wanted to share this experience so that fellow noobs could hopefully learn from my missteps. So gather 'round kids, it's story time So about 2 weeks ago, i ordered the blucigs starter kit along with 2 extra 5-packs of cartridges, not with the explicit intention of quitting smoking, just to see what the whole ecig thing was all about, essentially the idea was to use the ecig throughout the day so that i don't smell like an ashtray in my client's houses (i'm an in-home computer repair man). It arrived and all seemed allright, not particularly strong, definitely not in line with analogs, but enough to get me through the day until i got home and fired up an analog. I did some reading on this and other forums to learn more about this crazy vaping thing, learned a bunch, and decided to go for the eGo. In the process of making this decision, i also figured it'd be a good idea to get some more potent liquid, as the 16mg cartridges with the blu weren't strong enough, i ended up ordering a couple 16mg bottles and a couple 24mg bottles from vt (macchiato, exotic tobacco, dulcis and sweet dawn), also, a bottle of 1.6% (light) from puresmoker.com (the place i ordered my eGo from). It arrived just the other day, i immediately opened it up, charged the battery and began testing some different liquids with the various cartridges and cartomizers i had, and something just didn't seem right. While all the different liquids tasted different, none of them really tasted good, in fact, they were all kinda gross, and the throat hit was what one might call violent.... I couldn't figure it out, the blu stuff tasted great... luckily, puresmoker gives you a random flavo, random strength bottle of liquid when you buy a kit from them, which just happened to be low nicotine (0.8%), so i figured i'd give that a whirl... and wouldn't you know it, it tasted just as it was supposed to, no harshness or coughing, nice, smooth and pleasant (it's banana flavored, which will unlikely become my top pick) So i guess the moral of the story is, if you're coming over to the eGo world from the blu/green/volcano/smoketip world, don't use their cartridge strength ratings as a measure of what an eGo with liquid is going to be like, the eGo is a MUCH more powerful device. So what i'd do is pick a flavor that you're pretty sure you'll like, and buy one bottle of all the different strengths, and find out which one is right for you before you splurge on a bunch of different flavors. I'm now stuck with $45 of liquid that i can't use and will likely end up giving away, and a dwindling bottle of free liquid that will be gone before my low-strength liquids arrive. I thought i might be able to re-use the blu cartomizers for this high-strength liquid, since the blu's low performance seems to offset the ferocity of the liquids, so i set about cleaning them out so the old taste would go away, but i made the mistake of taking the fill out, which wasn't too hard, the challenge came when i tried to put them back in..... not so easy, as it turns out. So....... anyone want some free liquid? Jon

Sorry to let you all know (mostly vapors in Tampa) although i personally didnt prefer the establishment myself. Regardless, i went to "The Rack" in Tampa Fl 1809 West Platt Street. i was confronted by my waitress after 3 hours of being there and only after the "Crowd" had gone, telling me there is no smoking allowed. I advised her when i first arrived that i wasnt "smoking". That the device i have is only vapor, which she responded was ok. Only to find the owner had told her afterwards that even that was unacceptable and approached me later that night telling me so. I explained to him there was no smoke or smell. He advised me that even so, it would give the impression i was "smoking" and that others would "think" it would be ok to smoke analogs. lol. Although i see his point, BUT, if your drunk and see me "smoke" and put my "smoke" in my back pocket and decide to "lite up"... you're an idiot. Needless to say, although i've only been there 3 times, "The Rack" has lost my business. I didnt like that place anyways. In conclusions, everywhere ive been and vaped, has had no problem with me. Not to say i can do it without consideration. Before hand i explain myself to the establishment, including "The Rack". The waitress in question only said anything (which was weird after 3 hours and asked me to not smoke after i already explained myself earlier) when her boss showed up. sigh, regards, Jflo02 PS The Rack... yeah, dont waste your time.

Hello everyone, I been vaping for almost three months. When I made my original purchase I ordered some 510LR atomizers with my 900mah ego mega. Lately it seems like I am not getting the vapor production that I was when I first started. Do the atomizers die out before completely ceasing to function? I know the VG and PG seem to have a completely different amount of vapor, but I am fairly sure this is not the case as I have used both and neither seem to be getting the job done as well anymore. I also notice that the operation time on a full charge is decreasing rather rapidly. Has anyone else experienced either of these problems? I would love to hear from some of you ol'school vapors regarding how many batteries you have bought say in a years time. PS. All my vapor purchases have been made through VT as I think this is a GREAT community so I have ruled out different juices as the problem. Thanks in advance Michael

Jon, don't ditch the liquid just yet. I too have a cautionary tale to tell......it is of a young princess who just couldn't smoke another cancer stick ever again...So she bought the greatest device EVER..GreenSmoke e cigs....Oh it was great but in the first 2 hours they died....Oh the sad princess thought for sure she was sunk, till she learned about the magical eGo wand promised to zap evil cigs away forever... So she ordered her eGo and VTsample pack and waited and waited. When her magic device arrived.., The princess was so excited until she vaped her golden liquid.. Low and behold "it was terrible" so she boxed up the juice up and hid it under her bed. About a month later the poor poor princess was out of liquid. So sad and desperate she grabbed the dusty under the bed juice, loaded up her eGo and vaped...What do you know the princess taste buds were alive and she could taste and the juice....It was so good. No not good but great! Now the poor princess vaped and vaped and vaped till the golden juice was gone. Moral of the story...Your taste buds are dead, and storing your juice after it's travel is imperative. Why? I have no freaking idea, but letting it sit does change the flavor. Give it another shot in a few weeks. You see the BIG BAD FDA makes it hard for the princess to ever vape midnight ever again....So sad. and if you want to send it away...send it to the poor princess Beans!
