I guess things never change. I started vaping 2 years ago and everyone was buying giant bottles of nic juice then too because the FDA was going to ban it. Now after taking a long break I come back and the post are the same. Sadly if you want approval of the Ecig gear, get the government to tax it. Once they are making money off of it like cigarettes and booze, they will not want to let it go.

I've used my njoys for years and wanted something different but am too cheap to go after the good stuff. $20 on the xhale wasn't like buying most kits and if I was dissappointed ...oh well. I tried one of its pre filled carts and after a few puffs it stopped working. Being a good dripper I gave it a good 3 drip prime and it came back to life in a big way. The njoys were never big producers of vapor but fuctioned. The Xhale is blowing them away. For what two batteries, a atty and changer cost me for a njoy kit on sale I can have 4 batteries, 4 attys and 4 chargers. I think I'll give these a chance. I do like the small size and the case they come in. I don't like the juice or the fact the carts are glued into the mouth piece. To their credit, the Njoys have been going for over two years. No dead attys and only one battery has died. I have a bunch of carts for them so I will still use them when I can't drip. ( driving, resturants, work, etc) Someday I'll buy a real PV I promise. Jim

Still using my original Njoy's and dripping. Unfortunately still not completely off analogs but happy with the reduction. Haven't visited in a long time and notice lots has changed. Thought I'd say hi and wish you all well. Jim

I've two people ask me if it was a drug thing and once I answered no, they wanted to know if they could put drugs in it. I just tell them that if they could that it wouldn't be very efficient. I think I agree about the cigarette looking devices getting less attention. Anything that people don't understand always brings up the worse case scenario first.

A week home should be a good thing and I always enjoy seeing family. Last week however was just one thing after another it seemed. Missed checkin time on first flight by 2 minutes for our bags so we had to take next flight. They held it for 40 minutes for a late passenger. I was only a bit ticked off by then. I had one e-cig stolen and the one I bought to replace it was left in the rental after falling on the floor. I smoked more analogs than I wanted after getting the local crud. I couldn't vape without coughing my head off. It rained every day so fall color photography sucked. I was told the wedding I was there to shoot was going to be no flash at the very last second. I had no time to get the low light lenses much less reset three cameras. My feet and back were killing me at the end of the night. Top it all off, the dog got bit by a spider in the kennel and had to go to the vet. I now have three chargers, four batteries and one atty left. I'm not buying another kit, I'll just order more attys for now from heavens gifts. I think I'll try a 601. Maybe I can hang on to a pipe.

Aeros look a lot like the Favor cigarettes I used in the early 80's. A tube with a small sponge of flavor and nicotine. The flavor was so light that I bet a straw and a tick tack glued to the end would do the same. Well actually, the tick tack might have given more flavor come to think about it.

Well that's good then, I'll bust open a few fresh carts today and see if it helps. After posting this, I was reading the most important vape poll thread and saw the posters talking about a film in the mouth. I was really hoping it wasn't that. Now then, about the taste. I hope a cycle of Dulcis, then Redbull will break it. Both are strong enough to linger even after changing flavors. I usually use my strongest menthol but I can barely taste it even dripping. I really hadn't planned on trying cleaning the attys before the trip but can tonight. At the worse, I can pay the price and pick up a few attys from the SE kiosk. I bet they cost as much as a kit some places but then agan, there is a price to be paid for convenience.

Today I have noticed a plasticy taste in my mouth from my e-cig. My carts a a few weeks old but I'm wondering if it isn't the fact that I'm finishing up my first bottle of Mentha. Can the juice loose it's flavor? I try to remember to shake it before dripping or refilling carts. I know it can separate. If it can, should I save it for a dregs bottle for reflavoring eventually, or has it gone bad somehow? It's only been open a few weeks at most. It's not much, a cart or two at best. I still need to pick up some tea bags and replace the filling in the carts too. They have been sticking to the atty lately and even coming apart. Either way at least I'll know why the next time.

Reasons not to move to Canada Maybe just a few... Aren't E-cigs banned there already? 50% income tax VAT Health care that people are dieing for...literally I had seen the article on the school name change near here but I hadn't heard of the singing thing. That's a little weird. I mean I accept that there are going to be certain things people will want to do just because he is the first black president but maybe we shouldn't start carving a new face in Rushmore just for that.

I am a menthol smoker and the stronger the better as far as I'm concerned. Until now, the Smoke everywhere menthol juice has the biggest hit, strongest taste and delivers the most punch of any of the menthols I have tried. Next would be Vaportalk Mentha and over the weekend I tried Esmoker's menthol and it has very little flavor compaired to the other two but is very close to a Marlboro menthol. I've tried the two tobacco samplers from Esmoker, most are doable and I am surprised at the subtle differences between the types. I can't tell you if they are like the real ones as I never smoked them. I get 15 samples from Juicyvapor this week. I'll let you know.

Thank you for the suggestions everyone. I'm ordering small amounts for testing now. I'm pretty lucky that I'm a menthol man and so far everything I've tried has been good. Even the tobacco liquids will be converted if they don't meet the other halves standards. (more for my stock pile )

We actually had a customer that preferred we smoked in the house so we didn't have to take as long running down to the truck. It kinda made me uncomfortable and it just didn't feel like a break not getting out of the house. There have only been two customers like that over 25 years though, the rest were never to thrilled about the smoking.

I am finding dripping to be a good way to moderate my vaping. When I fist got the juice I was topping off the carts and adding a drip to the atty. That gave me the great hits in the beginning and then lasted for quite a while. Too long actually as I was vaping all the time. Now i only use a cart when in the truck driving or in a situation that I wouldn't be able to drip for a extended time. This way I can do three drips, vape it like a cigarette and put it down till I get the urge again. That keeps me from getting headaches.

Thank you Prof. I checked out the site, I'm just worried about getting shipment to the USA with all that's going on.

Even though I discussed the E-cigs with my customers(above post), I've decided not to use them at their houses. I know at least one flavor I have tried lingers after and had my niece say she could smell a chemical smell when right near us while vaping. I've had my customers ask us not to smoke on break because it doesn't give us enough time to air out before returning inside. Even a hint of odor, even one not unpleasant, would be bad if they thought we were vaping in the house. Plus for us, it's just disrespectful. At least this way I can vape on break or when outside and not carry it back in with me. Actually, I don't want to appear that I'm shoving it down any ones throat. I might get a puff here or there in a store or restaurant but I'm not walking around with it hanging out of my mouth puffing away. I do show it to people I know or if they ask but other than that, I'm pretty discrete.
