  1. I have tried refilling carts and direct dripping. I prefer to use the direct dripping. I use a 510 and I only put about 2-3 drops on the atomizer, any more than that will flood the atomizer. I gave up on refilling the carts because after 5 drags the vapor production would drop off and I then found myself dripping on the atomizer anyways. I believe juice is wasted by filling up a cart. This is my opinion on carts vs direct dripping. As you have been reading it is a personal choice. Try both and see what best suits you. I really do recommend watching the link videos that Chris posted. Good Luck and welcome to the forums.
  2. Chris basically explained it with the higher nic content. I use Dulcis at 16 mg level. It does have the best throat hit out of all the other liquids I have at 16-18mg. I would use the word "smooth" for the flavor. The flavor is soft and smooth. I don't associate throat hit or burn with flavor.
  3. @Kitsune - I prefer high roasted coffee with the strong flavor. In the morning the coffee kills the flavor of my e-cig. @Nana - You are having such a hard time with flavor that I thought maybe the food you were eating my be part of the problem. @Angel - I too am from a Italian family. Life is very bad if we don't have any garlic in the house.
  4. A nice sweet strawberry flavor but not over powering at all.
  5. I am just curious but do you eat a lot of spicy food, garlic or drink coffee? I have found that if I eat certain foods or drink coffee will kind of kill my taste buds for the day.
  6. Are you still waiting on the post office? I am sorry. The boys are a bit of a tease.
  7. I downloaded the pdf and took a good look at the booklet. The biggest waste of money was in the design and printing costs, most of the booklets will end up in the garbage. With that said, the booklet and the information contained in it is excellent. FYI, I have no experience with heroin or any drugs that would be injected into the body. In the very front of the book they list contact numbers for those wanting to get help. I really liked where this booklet was going. It was friendly and sometimes the last thing an addict needs is to be afraid of contacting anyone for help. They already have a clean needle program so I don't see how this booklet and the safety kit can be a dumb idea. If this booklet and safety kit helps just one person, that is one life saved which then trickles down to someone else.
  8. I have only tried one menthol flavor and it was a sample from Awesome Vapor. I never thought I would like like a minty flavor, but this was good. Reminded me of mint gum. Sorry that I don't have anything else to compare it to. I did order some Mocha Mint Coffee Rath Juice from Jason at Electro-Nic-Stix. Nice mint flavor with a hint of chocolate. I have been unable to taste the coffee part yet.
  9. Thanks for posting the wiki article. Children, especially teenagers, cannot handle peer pressure. Because this case involved an adult, I felt it should be added to the chapter of title 18 under child abuse.
  10. Vapor Kings has a clove flavored juice. I have actually tried this flavor, it belonged to a friend of mine. I have also smoked a clove cigarette so I am familiar with the flavor. The flavor of this juice smelled and tasted just like a spice box of whole cloves. It was nice and smooth. The first thought that popped into my head when I tried it was a baking ham. But good and very strong, took awhile to get it out of the atomizer. If you are looking for a flavor similar to the cigarette, I don't know if you will find it. I have read that it never tastes the same.
  11. Jason at Electro-Nic-Stix has automatic batteries for the 510. However, it does not look like he sells them with a starter kit. I have to agree with everyone above about the manual battery. I think you would be happy with the manual.
  12. I get what you all are saying about this bill. In a certain way I could see how this could become twisted and used in other means than its intended purpose. But do you know who Megan Meier is? The article forgets to mention why and how this bill came about. She was a young teenager that was bullied by an adult online and the young girl actually committed suicide. When they tried to convict the the woman that was taunting this young girl, there were no laws on the books that referenced cyberbullying. The woman was acquitted of the charges in 2009. This bill will be added to chapter 41 (extoration and threats) of title 18 to the federal and penal codes for the United States of America. I keep going back and reading the bill and where it would be added to title 18. This bill is poorly written and should not be added to chapter 41, in this part of the penal code it could become twisted and not applied for the intended use. I think it would be better to be added to chapter 110 of title 18.
  13. I have to agree with you. Student loans can be a killer. I believe education is like our healthcare system. Both are broken and both will cost you tons of money.
  14. Something similar happened to me the other day. I took the 510 off my VP/PT and connected it to a manual 510 battery. I got nothing, no vapor, no crackling or heat. I put the atty on the PT again and it worked. So I cleaned the threads on both the battery and the atty, it still didn't work. I tested out the other atomizers I had, and they all worked on both units. Just a mystery I guess. I didn't try to rack my brains about it.
  15. I don't mean to be a stick in the mud or to question what you have posted, but is it possible that it is actually Polyethylene Glycol and not Propylene Glycol? Polyethylene Glycol is prescribed in gallon jugs to be used a flushing agent (laxative) for the intestinal tract before a colonoscopy and surgery. I am just asking, because I made a simialr mistake a few months ago. I did not read in the Wiki article where it absorbs the radio active material. But when I looked up Polyethylene Glycol it mentioned that it was being tested for these purposes: My link 1. High-molecular weight PEG, e.g., PEG 8000, has been shown to be a dietary preventive agent against colorectal cancer in animal models. 2. The Chemoprevention Database shows it is the most effective agent to suppress chemical carcinogenesis in rats. Cancer prevention in humans has not yet been tested in clinical trials.
  16. I haven't noticed any change in the hair on my head, except that it doesn't smell. I have noticed a increase in nail growth, both with the hands and toes. I have to trim them more frequently. Better oxygen flow in my body with no smoking.
  17. This happened to me a few months ago also. I have no health insurance because I have no job. I needed to get a TB test and a physical for some classes that I was taking. Because I paid cash I got a 20% discount. They reason behind this is that they are not having to wait 30-90 days to receive payment from a insurance company. After working in a family business for 15 years and having to do collections and other various bill paying activities, this makes total sense to me. For example, a customer comes in and places a order and they are on net 30 days but they take 60 days to pay the bill. Meanwhile the business owner has purchased goods to fulfill that order and also has a payroll to make. So the business owner draws from a line of credit, which charges interest, to pay the bills. They need to do this in order to stay current with their vendors so they can continue to order the goods to continue conducting business. When the customer finally pays the bill, the money is then rotated to pay down the revolving line of credit. The business owner actually ends up losing a little extra money because of the interest on the loan. So the $100 that the doctor subtracted was probably the cost of the interest he was going to have to pay while waiting for the insurance company to send him a check. Insurance companies won't pay interest because they drag their feet in processing the claim and they think they are exempt or above having to do so. The easiest way is to charge it up front. So then it gets passed down to the patient, higher premiums and larger co-pays. This is the problem with the system. It trickles down and because we are at the bottom, we ended up paying for it all. I do know of the health care savings account and I am not sure how it works and what the benefits/penalties are but it is something I am going to look into when I get back on my feet. I hope that all made sense. I know most of this was covered in the article, but I found it very confusing and thought I might try to explain it in more simple terms. I should also add that insurance companies also have a tendency to pay what they think the bill should actually cost. This also will add a loss the the doctors office. My mom used to do insurance billing for a doctor and we have had many discussions regarding how this works. When my dad had his stroke, we had Kaiser insurance. They contract with certain hospitals in our area. Kaiser sent out statements with all the itemized charges from the hospital. It was really interesting to see what the hospital would have charged and what Kaiser ended up negotiating with the hospital.
  18. If you think you are getting a cold, you may want to hold on to the menthol. I have a small sample bottle and it really came in handy with my last cold. I agree with Brian, you might want to try a direct drip on the atomizer.
  19. I did remove the thread like material in one atomizer when I had first started vaping. It was a mistake on my part, I thought it was filler from the cartridge. Because I was very careful, I did not damage the atomizer. The atomizer is still working today but I have not noticed any improvement in performance. I really do not recommend trying this. I just got lucky.
  20. Look at this link, there is some good information about the USB Charger. Also, you may want to ask Ofortuna what charger they bought and used on her recent trip. USB car adapter
  21. Howdy neighbor! I am glad the great people of Nebraska also are thinking the same thoughts. @Brian - Thank you! Didn't think to look at Fox, what was I thinking.
