Hard to believe... One year ago my first vape kit arrived in mail. Ego-C. I had 3 ciggys left in a pack, my beloved American Spirits Black. I happened to be home that day working on my taxes when the mail arrived. 2 weeks earlier, after bumping in to a friend who was sporting what I now recognize as a twist battery and a tank, I began looking in to e-cigs. I had always hated my smoking if I was being honest. I loved it.....but I hated it. The stink, the bother, the ostracizing. It was a long time guilty pleasure. I never really battled with quitting. I just assumed I was doomed, lol. After I saw my friends e-cig I decided what the heck, I'll check it out. Somehow, I stumbled in to VaporTalk. It would turn out to be a god send. Man, there was a lot of BS out there but I was attracted to the site and the people. I lurked for more than a week. I read EVERYTHING. I studied hard and searched wide for hours through the forums and one thing stuck out. People were having success with this thing. I talked it over with my wife and we decided to give it a shot. I placed my first order on line. When it arrived, I immediately broke it out and loaded up a tank. It was some "American Blend" at 24mg. wow, not bad. Not perfect but not bad. My wife said, hey this is not bad. I agreed. A couple of hours later, I was filling another tank with a cappuccino. I realized I can make this work. I tossed out my last couple ciggys. I TOSSED OUT MY LAST CIGGYS!!!! I had had my last cigarette that morning. Both of us never looked back. Couple weeks later I joined VT and made my first post thanking everybody and declaring I was on board. The benefits have been amazing. I literally believe my life has been saved. I just want to say thanks to VT staff for putting this great resource here. Thanks to all the vets who's incredible advice lead to wise decisions and thanks to the whole community for the support, laughs and comradeship. It's been a great year! Let the razzing begin!

Actually its only been 364 days. You must retract this topic and start over tomorrow

This weekend went to a country auction, on a local school yard. first pull on ecig I had a few wanna be security guys swarming me telling me no smoking on school grounds. Since I'm such a quiet reserved old woman this didn't go well w me. I decided to educate them.. which I did, their statements were; federal laws prohibit smoking on school grounds, same thing in ecigs as analogs on & on I could be arrested. Needless to say, the Answers were, Wrong! I'm vaping not smoking, no federal laws period, then educated them on the ingredients in juice. Arrest me, well ya better bring it!!! Maybe the news reporter standing nearby giggling had an effect but they backed off. Went on off & on all day & I vaped while educating, until I fiddled w my tank enough in aggravation it disassembled. Its fixed now but.. finally a real deal sheriffs officer came by that I knew corrected the situation took a hit off my leaking mess and blew it in their face, Settled. Vapers 1- idiots 0 Still stewing over this was Hoping it would show up in local news but no. Darn it! I even maintained a semblance of control thru it all. I've decided to call the owner of the security service. Just had to vent! So pissed, glad I didn't fling the tank. Are there any laws to justify their statements before I call? Searched but can't find anything.

I'm all out of tiger wire. I'll have to twist some up when/if I get home this weekend. I know that all my coils I build would last for a good long time, but I just can't seem to stop taking them out and putting a new build in. Can't wait to get home a mess around with my 22g kanthal!

You stuck your iPhone up your butt?

Im a vapeaholic

Oh... You're probably CRAY CRAY! Just for hanging out with us Crazy Bas****s! Lmao!

Probably the best customer service I have had in a long time. When I received my box this last month one of the bottles had a faulty safety cap which then caused it to leak red eliquid all over every bottle in the box. I called and explained this to Chris at zamplebox and told him I don't feel comfortable vaping a product that has been open prior to me getting it and has now contaminated the other bottle. He immediately resent my entire order no questions asked!!!! If you were on the fence about this service I hope this helps

I should warn you that I suck at fishing..... lol I live on a lake, but the name comes from the fact that I service and install aquariums! I love eating them, but not the ones that go in my tanks....

Oh ya! That would be great! And fish its a bottomless lake, right up your alley or... We have good fishing perch, cam loops trout salmon and a bucket biologist put small mouth bass in here.

I use the trusty, cap off, in a dark, closed cabinet, with nothing else in it, for about 48-72 hours. However i never thought of using a Ultrasonic cleaner, so i might actually go buy one now just to try it... Thanks Comp, something else i have to go do now... lol

Please reffer to my "why they make tazers post"!

My nimbus is already drilled out. I'm not doing that to my auth patriot. I have 5 patriot foggys and 3 helios clones at home. When I get in, I'll have to fire up the drill press! Got a lot of drillin to do! (Double entendre implied) lmao!

A bobcat, lol, I use a bobcat to clean the draft horse pasture, hmm that's an idea though.. I got an aluminum landscapers rake & a young neighbor who wants to make a few dollars. I won't ask him to pick up CIG butts though.. yuck. I am doing my best to convert people, another friend 2+ pack a day smoker, had a heart attack this weekend, just got out of hospital awaiting bypass surgery, his daughter started me vaping so were working on getting him vaping now he's so stubborn.

I gotta say, when I first read the topic of this thread I started laughing...... I knew what you meant, but couldn't stop myself from pictureing something non analog related! lol I'll trade ya picking up butts for picking up dog p..p! I did however find an old coffee can I used last year for a butt can that I had to throw away today!

I couldn't find any for Montana. I was a rent a cop for a while they need to get a real officer involved anyway before arresting you. Seems as though he wasn't in the mood to. LOL You go Girl!

Fantastic Bebop! You are taking your wife out for a steak dinner to celebrate I hope... If you don't, I'll send her all the Margarita juice in a Bebop resistant bottle. LOL

Steeping only lasted 6 hrs, back to fadoravapors watermelon dang its good!

I think I'm just spoiled now that I've had Comps juices from Fadoravapor.

I see the definition for simulacrum , but where is the rest of the post? The title is clones vs. simulacrum ... but all you posted was the definition for one side of the title. Care to go more in depth............

Congrats Bebop! You should know that you've come full circle and are one of the many that give the quality advice you recieved as well. I remeber you were quick to help guide me a short time ago.

Congrats Jazzman...there are a pack of us hitting a year this month, and I'm so proud of all of you....especially Me!

I totally agree with everything you have said. I thought I was doomed also! Until I found this forum! 8 mths and still going strong! AMEN

Congrats! I wish things had gone that smoothly for me. But I'm glad it worked so well for you, Bebop.

Congrats Bebop!!! Well done!!!

Congratulations!!

ITS AWESOME Flavor IS Amazing!!

And the conversation just went south in a hurry. *doubles over laughing*

Since how juices taste is so subjective, it could be that it's you. It could be that it's the type of tank you're using, the coil's resistance, the juice, the PG/VG ratio of the juice, the voltage you're vaping at... There are all kinds of different variables that it's hard to say it's "this" and have it be right.

I would suggest Fasttech they have it at a decent price. With the free shipping it would be cheaper than I could send to the UK. They have Authentic RSST as well. Have thought though... If you have a friend in the States or Canada that could pass it on we my be able to work something out.

Simple 26g dual 6/5 wrap 5/65th bit siamese (single strand) center mounted. .32ohm

Meetings on Sunday ....

Whoever told you that coils last a month was blowing smoke. Also, always have back ups. And back ups for your back ups.

lol I know its the illegitimate love child

There's a joke in there somewhere and I ain't touchin it! Lmao!!!

I'll stick with my balls

Besides the fact cotton balls are super cheap.

yeap normal life is around 1-2 weeks for an OEM Kanger coil head. If you were a really lite vaper could be longer. If you are vaping juice that is dark or sweet could be less.

Change the coil. Most only last 1-2 weeks tops.

Just stopped by there and I'm really impressed. Great prices and a 20% of coupon for April! I'm pretty excited to order from them. Thanks man.

Thank you Dasfriek. Yes it does suck to find out after you spent money for a product to find out it is fake. Batteries are the worst. At least with hardware you can still make back what you spent. With batteries like the Sony's and AW's etc. not so much. The main reason is the danger and people, understandably, not wanting to take that risk, they become unsellable. Sounds like this vendor may see that he made a mistake and is working on correcting it. That can only be be a good sign. PM me about the Juice I'll see what I can do. I have 4 requests I'm working now for custom flavors. so. it may be a bit before I can get to a new custom flavor.

Sitting in Dallas, waiting to get loaded with more shingles going to Springdale, AR for delivery tomorrow. Thats too close to the house on a wednesday. I only live an hour from there. I'd take the load home tonite, if it wouldn't get me in trouble with my dispatcher. Oh well. Maybe they'll keep me close to the house and get me home early friday! Got a lot of stuff on the honey-do list! Ugghh

There are several online vendors that will adjust the PG/VG ratio. The first 3 that come to mind are http://fadoravapor.com http://ecblendflavors.com http://www.fuzionvapor.com/e-juice/ There are many, many more out there. Just look around.

just wanted to say hello.finally decided to bite the bullet.i been smoking a long time and its that time.the cool part about quitting is I have a new gadget to figure out.ready to learn!

congrats to you on quitting smoking ..you will start feeling so much better soon. I noticed that when I would go places I could smell cig smoke out in front of stores..as x smokers, we did not notice the way cigs made us stink..but, now we do...( I was a 3 pk a day for 30 yrs smoker) I have been smoke free for almost 4 yrs and I am alive!! Congrats to you..stick with it..always have back up battery's, e-liquid and other supplies with you =)

Im a troubleshooter, lol. If I see trouble I shoot it until it isnt trouble any more.

RBAs were really not meant to used on a twist. As fishguy said just get a KPT 2 pro or Mini and rebuild the atty cartridge. Once you get good at rebuilding those, moving to RBA would be your next step,

At the risk of being in violation of the sites T&C they also say marijuana is a gateway drug when I know many many people that are in their 40s and 50s that have used cannabis since their teenage years and never touched anything else. Nothing can make someone do something else except free will. That's it, and any attempt to claim otherwise is just sheer ignorance.

Smoke Ring coming at ya,lol
