Christopher, Thank you for all the hard work and long hours you spend making Vapor Talk a wonderful place for us all! This morning when I checked VT I noticed the snowflakes falling and thought them lovely. Just now I noticed how the snowflakes change direction depending on where your pointer is on the screen. That's absolutely brilliant! And more than a little amusing for me today. Just wanted to give a "thank you" shout for all the little things we may not notice but makes our experience here better and definitely more fun!

See? And this is why I am even more awesome than Jeff...

First, you'll prime your tank carto with about 30 or so drops of e liquid while holding the carto at a 45 degree angle, being careful to avoid getting liquid in the center air flue hole (if that does happen, just blow through the carto to clear the flue). Then screw the carto onto your battery and slide your tank all the way down onto the flange at the bottom of the carto. You should get a filler tool, which is a funnel that fits in the top of the carto and makes filling the tank much easier. Then just slide the tank up onto the filler tool, drip the liquid into the funnel, and when the tank's almost full, slide it back down to the carto flange. Remove the filler tip and replace it with a drip tip. Now you're ready to vape. Steve K's got an excellent description and review of the filler tool, how to use it, and where to get one here. Also, there's a new type of tank carto out that looks pretty promising. Steve K's description and review of that can be found here. I just ordered a couple to see if the hype is true for myself. There are other methods to fill tanks, but this is about as easy as it gets. BTW, EC Blend has a clove flavor called Kretek Blend that can be found here. EC Blend offers a variety of options as all of their juice is custom blended, but for use in a tank, I'd recommend an 80% PG / 20% VG blend. I've found that mixture provides good flavor and vapor production characteristics while remaining thin enough for tank use.

So on the 23rd of december celebrated my 2 year vapiversary. With year one it truly felt like a special day of celebration. Not sure if it's due to work, or how crazy my life has been lately, but this one lacked that feeling. Since I'm in new on this forum figured it was time to tell more of my background, in hopes it will help make this place feel more like another home. I tried to quit smoking multiple times in my life. Tried every type of alternative there was save acupuncture. My lowest point was a day I had 2 patches on, chewing nicotine gum, and smoking 2 cigs at the same time. When my wife and I moved to the apartment, viewed it as a great chance to start anew, which included getting away from analogs. So it was with the patches, the nic gum, etc. all over again. Then came a day I was searching for a gift for my wife. As much as I hate the mall kiosk vendors, they were my first introduction to ecigs. Didn't buy one from there (no way was I paying $300 for a starter kit), but that night started looking up different vendors. Ended up with greensmoke, a choice I regret, but at the time it was the so called best on many sites (sites I now know get kickbacks from every sale they inspire). It didn't work, was back to my 2 pack a day habit within a couple of weeks. I didn't give up though, tried other companies, and same result. Finally delved into another forum, and from there found the best two starter types at the time were 510 and 808 batts. Ordered a kit each from two separate vendors, with my V4L kit arriving first. It arrived the 23rd, and haven't had a real cigarette since. All the different kits did spawn my obsession with trying everything, and testing it in every way possible. So it is two years later I own multiple pv's of every type, always testing something new. V4L is still my primary vendor, their new menthol wow may have gotten a new name, but it's still the same great flavor it was two years ago that got me to quit. I've grown more serious it seems as time has gone by... There was a time I used to be the off topic king, transcending every topic into an organic conversation. Don't know exactly when that ended, maybe at some point will find that side of myself again. Still test everything, though going into the new year might be finally adding a video aspect to the reviews, considering a very good friend of mine is no longer doing them. Sorry for the long windedness of this post. Have taken the moniker of big mouthed idiot for a reason. Hope everyone has a happy holiday.

Aw, Jeff. Your video made me cry! That was just beautiful...

Welcome to Vapor Talk.

Happy Ho !!

Welcome...congrats on making the switch.

Congrats on switching to e-cigarettes, Mark. And welcome!

Welcome to VT Mark. I love a good French Pipe. It was one of my favorites in the beginning and I just recently found a flavoring to mix my own. Citrus flavors are also to my liking, especially lemon and/or lime with marshmallow or a vanilla type flavor added(and sometimes with a graham cracker crust!). Where do you get your French Pipe juice from?

Welcome,Merry Christmas and enjoy the Ego.
