A really nice video that Phee put together. Perfect for the newbie just starting out with the Ego.
-
Nice review. Good job! I agree you guys should do more video reviews.
-
I have the cattle prod! Everybody run! @Stirfry - thanks for the explanation on the air marshal. I pretty much figured that they couldn't be on all flights, like the small short flights, but mostly on the most important flights.

Ron Paul made some really valid points. I have not traveled by air in a very long while. I don't mind having to go through the detectors, remove my shoes or be double checked by a wand. I do feel the government is really over stepping with the x-ray and pat down securities measures. The pilots have guns, the doors are locked and air marshals are on most flights now. They should be stepping up on the ground security. That is one thing I think they have neglected. They should be more thorough with whom is on the ground loading the planes and what exactly is going in the cargo hold. That should have happened years ago when the plane exploded over Lockerbie in Scotland.

I agree with Kitsune. They are some type of alien species.

Can I trade my bag for the complete series of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys on DVD? Congrats Kitsune on the new PV! Looks real pretty in pink.

Forgive Me Vapers, For I Have Sinned

Nice to see you back. So you fell off the horse. No big deal and I won't fault you for it. Just get back on the horse and all will be forgiven. Looking forward to seeing you around again. -
Nice pictures. Thank you for sharing. Sorry for the rough day, hopefully tomorrow will be better.

My dog is quite good. I never had any problems with chewing or destroying anything, even as a puppy. She still has stuffed toys from puppy hood that look used but not beaten. Now my brother's dog is another story, he chewed a hole in my carpet. My dog is pretty good in the tub. But getting her in the tub is a different story. I have to drag her out from under the table and then she slinks with her head hung really low. Makes me feel really guilty. Now I am not exempt from pet destruction. I have a 2 year old cat that will destroy anything that will shred. She destroys papers, books, toilet paper, paper towels and plastic grocery bags. She will even chew holes in the dog food bag. God forbid if I leave the garbage container out. The only saving grace is that she has not taken to destruction of my furniture yet. She really likes the big scratching post for that one. I am holding my breath on the no furniture thing, I am just waiting for the day I really make her mad and she takes it out on the couch in retribution. That will be a sad day. Edit - I should also add that this crazy cat climbs up on a two story condo building and cries at the top of her lungs. I can't explain the number of times I had to explain to neighbors that she is not trapped and only does it to annoy me.

I am going to do a written review of the VT store Apple Dapple, Macchiato and Midnight. All were 16mg. I received these juices about a week ago. I wanted to take my time and get to know the flavor before posting my review. I used a new 510 and a 901 atomizer for this review. The PV’s I used were the Ego and the VP/PT. Please keep in mind that flavor is subjective to the user. The atomizer and voltage use, IMHO, does affect the flavor of certain juices. I have several juices that I prefer in a variety of atomizer and PV setups. I also need to state, for review purpose, that I exhale vapor either through my mouth or the nose. Yes, the nose exhale will really make a flavor kick. I call this my fine nose swirling of flavor (like swirling wine before tasting). I only tell you this, because it is not a video review and I thought it was important. Apple Dapple - First impression was hot cider and it was very tasty. This is not a sweet fruity vape, more like cider or warm apple pie. There was not much throat hit at first but after a few days I noticed a bit more of a throat hit especially after I switched up atomizers and voltage. The 901 produced the most flavor and less of a throat hit. The 510 produced more of the throat hit, but still had really good flavor. Overall wonderful juice and makes a really nice cold winter night vape. I will be adding this to my list as a keeper. Macchiato – This one had me puzzled. It came out of the gate with wonderful flavor and excellent throat hit the first couple draws. Then something happened and it turned really chemical. Blew out the atomizer and gave it a whirl again same outcome. I used the VP/PT on this first run. So I put it down and decided to wait a few days. After a few days I picked it up again and gave it a go. Much better. Really nice creamy espresso flavor and I got a hint of chocolate at the end. I found this flavor to work best on the Ego with a standard 510 atomizer. I like all the VT store coffee juice. Choco Java, Cappuccino and Macchiato each have their own distinct coffee house flavors. What can I say? I am a coffee snob. Now that I found the trick to this flavor, I will be adding this to my 3.7v list of favorite vapes. Midnight – This is not my first go around with the Midnight. I love this flavor at all voltages and on every atomizer. Nice, lightly sweet, fruit flavored wine vape. Nice subtle throat hit without the choking factor. Call me nuts but my favorite sipping drink on ice is sweet vermouth. This flavor reminds me of that drink. This is always in my stash of liquids. What about vapor you ask? I have never been disappointed with the vapor production from any of the VT store liquids. Always produces big clouds of thick vapor. A thank you shout out to Chris and the VT store staff! Keep up the good work.

The atomizers you are getting is one standard Joye atomizer and one LR atomizer. The standard atomizer when dripping, 2-3 drops, lasts about 6-7 draws. You will notice vapor drop off when it starts to run dry, this will indicate to add a few more drops. The LR will simulate vaping at a higher voltage. I do not have or used any LR atomizers. But from what I understand they will require more liquid than the standard atomizer. The LR's tend to run hotter. The cones are not only for aesthetics but they also will make the draw a bit tighter. It will reduce the air flow. You can use the Ego with or without the cone. A cartomizer will not last a whole day on one fill. At least I haven't been able to get it to last that long. It will depend on how much you vape. If you chain vape you will fill it a few times during the day. I never really kept track how much I fill a cartomizer. I switch between cartomizers and direct dripping all day. The carts that will come with your atomizers will not last as long as the cartomizers. You will find yourself topping off more using the standard carts. Carrying 2 cartomizers during the day is not a bad idea. It will let you change up flavors too. You can never have enough juice. Order away! Good luck!

I would get the drip tip for home. Skip the carts and buy the cartomizers. Much better than the carts. I tried the carts for about 30 minutes and switched to direct dripping. I am assuming you are getting the Ego.
-
Ha! Ha! Boiling the atomizer, rolling in flour and sprinkling with sugar. Don't forget the Pepsi rinse!

Absolutely Brilliant! Thank you for posting.

Both my parents smoked. My dad was the heaviest smoker of the two. My mom smoked mostly in the evening and I don't think she ever finished a whole pack by herself. My Aunts, Uncles and grandparents on my dad's side smoked. My great grandmother was a real rebel and smoked a pipe. I don't think my parents contributed to the start of my smoking addiction. I was mostly a social smoker in my teens (only when the overbearing boyfriend wasn't around). I didn't really pick up the habit until I moved in with my Aunt while attending college.

I was going to suggest the couch cushions, but I see that Kitsune already mentioned it. I guess you will have to re-trace your footsteps. That is an awfully large PV to lose. Hope you find it soon. Better check all your pockets before you do the wash.

A very moving video each time I watch it. That is all I have to say. -
Good job Snubber!

Track shoes were my first thought. It just looked to chunky for a track bottom. It looks like roller balls on the bottom. But why someone would but roller balls on the front of shoe just didn't make sense. Ha! Ha! Jeff is afraid of the girls. Those are some flashy shoes you found there.
-
That is a pretty chunky cleat for a track runner. I think it may be something else.

I had lasix done over 10 years ago. My vision really wasn't that bad when I had it done, I could still drive if needed, I just couldn't read the street signs. I chose to have lasix because I played sports. This past January I had to get glasses. The doctor told me I was legally blind and shouldn't even be driving. It was so bad he gave me a pair of contacts to wear until my glasses came in. Fast forward to today, my eyes are getting worse, my vision is blurring again. I don't have problems with reading or anything up close. The thought of vaping and vision has crossed my mind because it started to get worse after I started vaping. I just don't get how something with thousands less of chemicals and toxins could be causing the problem. I am going with coincidence. But still I wonder...

Very nice artisan work. I sent it on to my mom.

The glycerin you bought should work well. However, I don't think the McCormick extracts will work, the flavor will probably be pretty weak. You want to look for flavorings used in candy making. The flavors are the strongest. Look for Lorann, Wilton and Bickford. Bickford can only be ordered directly from the company (google bickford flavorings). Look in the cake decorating/candy making departments in Hobby Lobby or Michaels for Lorann or the Wilton brand.
