When I dripped I would get 5-10 or so puffs off 3 drips. Was a pain so I use the PTB mod. By the way, I couldn't do all those fancy folds either, I cut mine in half, fold twice and roll it up. I can send a sample. With a full cart, tougher to tell how much to get, maybe about 3-5 cigs worth maybe? Only way to tell for sure is if you have good ones to play with and that sounds like that's not the case. Once you have a good batt and a good atty, you can see what the issue is with the others. I'm PMing you as I'd rather deal with the PM system here than that junk email address I gave, if you don't mind...Also, I'd stay away from the syrupy sodas to clean or at least rinse with water afterward.

Yeah - I ordered a pack of 6 boxes with 20 tea bags each. I can't give them away fast enough and the wife does not like the tea.

yeah - I've convinced myself I don't care...<sniff sniff> lol

Does This Video Not Sit With You Right Or Is It Just Me?
FTJoe replied to Luke's topic in General Vaping Discussion
I have to disagree to some extent. Like any addiction, there is a pavlovian component. The brain knows when you smoke, you also get something that makes you feel good. When you are stressed, you want to smoke because you know it it will being you something that feels good. When you vape, even 0, your brain is satisfied by the action because it has connected the act to getting the "good stuff", nic or THC, doesn't matter. This is an alternative, should never be a choice. IMHO I don't think people smoke out of some desire to do so, they do it because it was cool at the time. Then you find, well, you really can't stop. Vaping is not the exact opposite of smoking, it is the lessor of two evils (I use that word loosely). We also do not know its safe, we certainly hope so, and we are pretty well convinced even if its not, its safer than smoking, certainly smoking cigarettes. But much of the juice comes from China, they put poison in dog and cat food and baby milk. I'm a trusting person, but only so far... I know, I paint a gloomy picture, but that's my point, we need to be aware and vigilant. -
Simple answer - because they studied Chantix, there is a label with warnings. E-cigs do not have that. I'm sure everyone is tired of me saying that, but that's why we are in a tough spot. Logic has nothing to do with it, rules is rules and honestly, when they find out the attys are made of lead, who'll be crying then? We are on the bleeding edge here, will it go mainstream, I don't know. If it doesn't its because gov knows they won't get their taxes, pharma knows they won't sell their drugs and tobacco knows they won't sell their cigs if it does and they will sic their FDA dog on it. To get approved, it requires FDA approval, I just don't see a way around it, right now under the radar, not sure for how long. The companies with the best shot at doing studies are pretty much all about the money and product is not very good. I'm serious, I am waiting for the first 5 year old to down a bottle of juice, then it will be over for good. Sucks, but if approved, it would be a shame, but not over with because you get a childproof cap and a warning to keep out of reach of children. Its a "you can't sue me label".

Do They Sell The 510 Kits With Mega Batteries?

looks like... http://www.shop.wordupecig.com/Joye520-Joye520.htm;jsessionid=BF753694EF0EED3098B372EEEDE45A23.qscstrfrnt02 -
All I need, and they're all active. Some for the obvious spam traps, others for various reasons, like I said, I'm old. All I can keep track of. Really my point is I go everywhere on the net (and I mean everywhere), and I have nothing amazing as a firewall (Windows) or AV (avira) yet I spend so much time cleaning up other peoples machines, I'm amazed how <insert appropriate word> people can be when it comes to malware. I heard a report today, that while people know they shouldn't open the email, 50% do it anyway... list of possible words to insert into < >: trusting stupid ignorant fearless

This seems expensive when you can get a kit for under $50. -
Remember this? I thought it was profoundly funny...and sad. When my sense of smell returned, it was more often than not, not oood. http://www.vaportalk.com/forum/forum/index.php?/topic/3928-you-guys-did-it-to-me/page__view__findpost__p__33541

I actually have about 15 email addresses I use for various reasons. You youngins can play with all that high fallutin software, I'm good without it.

Is there still a VIP room? I go to donate, and they stop that. Then its 500 posts, I think I was 50 or so away and it went to 1000. I'm getting a complex. LOL. Heading towards 1000, but then I hear you have to contribute, oops. So I've been trying that. Next thing ya know I'm going to have to stop being crabby, and that ain't going to happen. Oh wait - congrats FK!!!! I already did a yay in my status...but in case you missed it...YAY!!!!

For me - I found not having them in the house helped. As addicts, we all did our best to make sure we were stocked up. But sometimes you woke up the next day, were out and had to get in the car and go get them... So don't have them in the house, and while you go through that process I could only describe as an itch that can't be scratched (needing a smoke), see if you can vape your way through it. In other words, I would realize I really didn't need one once I got down with the vape. Had then been there, I might have had one. Having said that, if it makes you uncomfortable, I would just go out and get a pack. One of the things I love about this is its not something that required a lot of willpower for. No stress, "itches" etc. that I experienced with everything else. Bottom line is if you reduce your analogues by one, that's good, more than that is a bonus. Goal should be none, but enjoy the benefits of reduced analogues while you figure out a way to get there.
-
If anything I would assume its an oral fixation being satisfied. Are you really eating the same? I'm fighting weight gain but because my vaping dropped off after I went 0mg. Or maybe the same amount of nicotine is not being absorbed as with cigs (I think many report this is a terrible transport for nic) and your metabolism has been affected? Too bad we can't get real studies. ;-)

I like the 5 pack (no warranty) for $40 from TotallyWicked. I think they are Janty? Never an issue with them, though I did have one bad battery once.
-
There's no accusation. Just a concern that something needs to be studied. In a perfect world, that would be expected. Here's my take on this stuff starting here... http://www.vaportalk.com/forum/forum/index.php?/topic/4500-aaphp-has-submitted-two-citizens-petitions-to-the-fda/page__view__findpost__p__39729 Bottom line is I believe things like this should be studied, but I now believe the lung association is probably getting a cut of tax revenues so this is a threat to them as well.
-
Don't know if things have changed, but I know as of a few years ago, even having the preview pane up was dangerous. Is it the preview pane or just the first few lines, I think it's different.
-
Usually $40 bucks for 5 with no warranty for the gold bands at TotallyWicked...10% coupon somewhere I think...
-
Wow - If I'm reading it right, wording is basically such that it would be a full ban. Starts by saying it will prohibit sales to minors, but then seems to move past that and is a total ban. Real issue, appears to have the full backing of the NY chapter of the Lung Association... http://www.lungusa.org/associations/states/new-york/publicpolicy/assets/memo9529.pdf Now those who know me know my perfect world speech. In a perfect world the FDA should be provided studies that show its safety, that's how this normally works. I do want the juices and devices to be safe so I imagine that's where the lung association is coming from. But this world is far from perfect and I guess I don't fully understand the LA stance. We agree with the initial FDA determination that these products should be regulated as drug‐delivery devices and as such, should not be sold until the FDA has determined their safety and efficacy. The Lung Association has called for the removal of all e‐cigarettes from the marketplace until they have been determined to be safe. For these reasons, the American Lung Association in New York, supports this legislation and urges its enactment. Wonder if they get money from the state and times are tough in NY? I even see blurbs on their front page on how the people escaping paying the tax by going to reservations should be stopped. I'm guessing some of the tax proceeds goes to them and research? If so, not exactly an impartial observer, are they?

I figured both that and they're from Georgia!! Good album for sure.

Hey doc!! Thanx so much for the update. Great videos by the way, you going to do a part 2? Would love to see the 6V operation in action. You are the resident expert on the indulgence (being the only one I believe) !!!! One stupid question, where do you even see the cup out of stock? I don't see it...just curious because I really want to try the higher voltage. I'm going to ask them about the titanium indulgence which is oos. I have a bunch of titanium attys from TW so kind of makes sense.
-
Thanx - was looking at this this morning after seeing someone (you?) post about it yesterday.
-
The things I'm curious about the indulgence specifically are: 1) How is it at 6 volts? I assume you need the extended battery cup and batts, right? 2) I don't even see them on the eastmall site. My bad I'm sure but I think I saw jmhester comment they were oos. Looks like oos on the titanium starter kit as well (ouch) 3) Is there going to be part 2, part 1 was great!!! Any other useful information?
-
Okay - first, thanx for the happy bday. Next, going again for the video then jacking jmhester. Will simply create a thread for us in the general forum that actually cals jmhester out. Listen, this thing sounds cool. But lets take our time and suck the life out of the professor. Give me 20 mins because, well, we had vodka in the house...

Ouch - sorry - not paying attention...withdrawn

Yeah- I'm going to check the video out later tonight. And then I'll bug him with questions...really looking to get something working better for my honey. She was great about giving up the weekend smoking and going 0 nic, and putting up with a bazillion different flavors of menthol. So my present which I'm buying, that is from her is really for the both of us.
