I find that throat hit is related to two things. The mg count in the juice and the flavor. Midnight to me is very smooth and doesn't have much throat hit. This is my personal opinion. However, tobacco, cappuccino and clove offer a very good throat hit for me. What mg liquid do you have and do you have other flavors than the Midnight?

The condom method will not damage the battery. You will know when a carto goes bad. It will have less vapor production, start to lose flavor or will just finally give out and not work. I have never really counted the number of times I have refilled a carto but I think they are good for at least 10 fillings. I have a tendency to top them off a lot so that is probably why I don't keep track.

I have heard a mixture of both good and bad about the clearomizers. I am not interested at this point to give them a try. Someone was explaining the other day that the clear part cracks or bends because it is a very thin plastic. Well, that is what I gathered from what the person was saying. It appears that the MAP tank and the Storms are a better quality. Hopefully someone that has used them will stop by and give you more info.

A drip tip is not necessary for direct dripping on to atomizer. A drip tip just makes it easier. With a drip tip there is no need to remove the mouthpiece for dripping. It has a large bore hole that lets the liquid get to the atomizer.

This is really urgent! The decision will be made on Tuesday! There is a website that has an email already set up to send off. Please read the instructions. Vape Bans

With your order you will also want to pick up a couple extra atomizers or a package of cartomizers. I see you were looking for the camel flavor not caramel. I have yet to find a tobacco flavor that tastes like a real cigarette. I like the VT tobacco and the Dekang 555. Those are the only tobacco (like) flavors that I have tried.

Can't help you with the caramel flavor, sorry. But looking at how much you smoked go with 10-12mg. You could give the 16 to 18 a go, but I would also order some lower mg, just in case. I smoked a pack a day and started with the 16-18 level. Good luck.

Crud I had this whole thing typed out and my browser crashed. Jeff gave you some good info. I don't know much about the menthol either. Sorry. Hang in there and be patient. You will start to notice all the benefits of making the switch.

The Joye 510 will look and feel similar to a regular cigarette. The Ego is a little bigger or wider. Both use the same atomizer. Cartridges can be messy and not fun to fill. You can get a drip tip and drip directly on the atomizer. Check out the videos in the the How do I section. There are videos there about direct dripping and how to fill a cartomizer. I am going to suggest the Ego. The battery is much better and you will have several options for atomizers and cartomizers. The regular 510 battery has a short life and you basically are limited to using standard atomizers and cartridges. Good luck.

How about using a drip tip?

If you just got the charger and batteries, I would contact Madvapes first. They might replace them for you.

I am just curious what mod you have and is the battery your friend has the same as yours?

Agave nectar is a natural sweetener. All about Agave Nectar You should be able to find it in your grocery store. If it is not with the other sweeteners, ie sugar and splenda, then look for it with the honey and syrup.

I don't have children so I won't be much help. I do suggest, like the others, that you do expand your conversation a bit more with your children. I also really like the suggestion Ofortuna had about the stickers. Really a good idea to drive home the caution factor.

I had Comcast too and was happy. But it just got to be too expensive for me. I will probably end up back with them when things finally settle down.

Qwest is the big telephone provider in Colorado. They offer DSL and landline phone service. They also have bundles with a satellite provider and Verizon wireless. Qwest replaced what used to be Mountain Bell, if that makes more sense in what they do.

I am really sorry about your bad day. Everyone else already said what I would have said. I really hope it turns around for the better.

Like you want to get an answer from me. Ha! Ha! I had this conversation just a couple weeks ago with someone. Right now it looks like the only service is Comcast, Qwest and whatever satellite services is available. There are outside providers, but they buy the lines from either Comcast and Qwest. So you are still at their mercy of what they offer. However, I heard that Qwest is up to something that may be fiber optic. My neighbor is chomping at the bit over this and plans on making the switch when it is available. Supposedly it is supposed to be much faster and better than Comcast. I have been looking for something the last few months and my search has been futile. Sorry. I just happen to have a very slow, cheap package from a outside provider. I would love it if Verizon offered FIOS here. I am done with our options. edit - if you find something, let me know. I would be interested.

Thoughts and prayers for your family and daughter.

Welcome to the forum Christina. I am happy that you have an interest in ecigs. But I am not too clear why someone that has never smoked would want to take up smoking or the ecig. If you have no addiction to nicotine, then I suggest that you do not invest in ecigs. If you do choose to continue with this quest I am highly suggesting that you use non nicotine liquids. I am not familiar with the model prosmoke. The 510 is a good model. Good luck and please make your decision very carefully before choosing to start with the ecig.

I am with Nana on this one. I seem to use both terms. Depends on who I a talking to. I do prefer PV because it rolls off the tongue easier for me.

This is the first pack I have bought and the colored wrapper seems a bit thicker than the regular black cartomizer. Side by side they don't appear to be bigger, I think it might be the special wrapper. I specifically got pink so I wouldn't mix them up. Oh and pink is cool.
