I got a bunch of bottles from US plastics for my starter kits to friends. Work great, but a word of advice, don't cheap out and get black...get the clear (natural?).

Here's a pic I took of my mega batt with a mega cart/atty, alongside a regular unit any a regular atty/cart with a mega battery. Point in this thread is I also show the tube reader case I carry around for the 510s. Has a clip but I find it sits up okay in an inside pocket pretty well. Also handy in case of leakage. Mega/mega combo does not fit...sad.

I Think Someone Stole The Vt Logo Dudes...
FTJoe replied to GrimmGreen's topic in The Vape Lounge - Off Topic Chat
Ouch - see here for my fav cleaners I just posted (again). Malwarebytes very good at virus scan spoofs... http://www.vaportalk.com/forum/forum/index.php?/topic/4102-calling-all-pc-gurus/page__view__findpost__p__35111 -
Hi - for scanners on a windows machine, I have a post on another thread I copied below. Everyone should have malwarebytes, superantispyware and spybot along with a virus scanner like avast or avira on their machines and be at the latest service pack level for Windows so they at least have minimal firewall protection (IMHO). In regards to radio playing I see people talking about interference but that doesn't sound right if it stops when you reboot. I also see references to real player being an issue sometimes and I would check any add-ons in IE. I guess another observation would be why are you using IE (firefox, chrome, safari are all good alternatives) and what version of the operating system and internet explorer are you on? Does it stop when you kill explorer from task manager? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- My favs are explained here: http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35407 Get to the section at the bottom where you pick your operating system. I would install and run malwarebtes and superantispyware. Don't run any others (especially combofix) unless you do a backup. If you can, I would do a backup anyway, at least create a system restore point. Also, If you install SAS, I think it runs on windows startup by default, uncheck that option on the main preferences screen. Ccleaner is a great tool as well. I also usually install and run spybot search and destroy on problem machines or to just keep them healthy. http://www.safer-networking.org/index2.html

I don't know. The issue at hand is we really do throw a lot of stuff up in the air. The warning is that if the consequences are true it will be too late by the time we see the actual issues arise (if not already). The GW scientists shot themselves in the foot recently by people finding out they may have been fudging some of the science, and we all know when you ask for something that will hurt big companies, the big companies find ways to get money to the folks that would make those laws. And to a large extent, doing the "right" thing will be a pain for most people. It does seem like the people who don't believe in it, don't have many facts on their side but that doesn't stop them from trying to tell us there is no issue. Just now in the northeast, two snowstorms and the news is airing the argument against GW because of the snow. The GW folks are pointing out (correctly) that this has nothing to do with temperatures, they are snowstorms, I think the temp, as it usually is for a good blizzard was just at and below freezing. GW folks say it supports the argument because with warmer temps, more water in the air, more precip. Makes sense but as you point out, could just be a cycle. What I do know, is many people are for or against, but most of us don't actually know, and the people that could do something about it (the world's beloved politicians) are still busy rewarding the banksters who brought the world's economy to its knees. Oh yeah - and flying their jets into the GW summit, then on to another airport to wait as that one couldn't handle all the jets, then back again to pick them up and take them home. And some of these folks got mad at the auto execs for flying into the hearings? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/copenhagen-climate-change-confe/6736517/Copenhagen-climate-summit-1200-limos-140-private-planes-and-caviar-wedges.html?=no I remember a comment a long time ago about the giant ego of Man. We use the term we are killing the earth and this comment basically pointed out the earth is fine, the ecosystem in place will repair most damage over time and re-balance. What we are killing is the ability for our species to remain alive on this Earth.

I can't tell you how many issues I had in the beginning, and they were mostly if not all me. Just really a learning curve to get past/push through. Unfortunately smoking is easier than vaping, but that's why you're here. Keep pushing.

When all is said and done you will be given some text from the quitmeter site that will have to be pasted into your signature on this site. So you would copy that text into the clipboard (ctrl+c), go to your profile, edit it, choose change signature then paste (ctrl+v) something that looks like this into the area...I've taken away a couple of characters so you can see what I'm talking about, this one is mine. url="http://*Unsafe Link Detected*.com/"] img]http://*Unsafe Link Detected*.com/index.php/main/banner/57194.png /url]"

You should use a paperclip to make sure the cart is accepting all the juice. Also, gold band attys, 5 pack from TotallyWicked. Can't go wrong with them (IMO). Actually if something is wrong with one, there is no warranty for the bulk purchase but assuming they work, they work very well. Only think I can think of besides the atty not being any good is as Christopher said, nice long slow draw is the trick. Unlike a cigarette that will actually burn faster as you draw faster, the atomizer can only vaporize so much as it hits as the liquid moves onto it. So slow does the trick. Once you figure out what's wrong while you're dripping, if you still want to use a cart use PTB or another filler (fluval?). Listed in the mod section.

Yes it was, we've kind of beat this to death I guess. I was kind of making fun of being too PC.

Sorry, my point was most Latinos are American (there's a north, central and south america). If you consider latinos simply spanish speaking, about the only group that aren't american are spaniards...
-
Actually all the groups you named are American. ;-) Spaniards maybe?
-
That would explain my confusion (at least in regards to this).
-
Yeah - I did get it and ignored it...being grumpy and all
-
Wait - I'm confused again. Is the gold band janty or joye or do they both make them or one for the other? http://usa.jantyworld.com/atomizers/dura/2712-dura-ego-atomizer

Coming To My Forum Peeps For A Little Help.
FTJoe replied to DAYVAPE's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Hey Day - that sux. Do me a favor and let me know PM wise what the deal is. My wife deals with all this kind of stuff professionally (not a doctor but deals with oncology drugs/docs) so maybe we can get you some decent info/resources once you know, no promises but I owe everyone here something. My thoughts are with you. I will warn her an anonymous person may be looking for info (she's not very good about that) but lets see what we see. -
Nice - awaiting the review!!!

A Little Testimonial And Some Questions
FTJoe replied to stevenf's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Okay dayvape, come down from the ledge. ;-) That's my point, don't go nuts getting rid of the nicotine. For me I wanted to go no nic after I was told I blew most of my celiac artery away and it's on the verge of going and always will be. -
Yes - taste bad, yes. At first don't make this about the cost, later on, sure. Ditch it.
-
If you like the 510, the spade. Nice battery life, if you hit it, it will be done after a few hours. So slap in the second batt and keep going. order two extra batts just because backups are essentail, and your god to go. If you really can't slap a batt in after a few hours, then the ego, vp2, etc.
-
Almost embarrassing how many attys and batteries I got from TW on their 30% sale (almost). I'm pretty good for now considering we're weekend vapors now.
-
Not if you can charge the batteries with hope and prayer. I can't so I have four chargers (two are USB PTs) for my spade batteries and about 5 chargers (two wall, a PCC and two USB PTs) for my 510s (some are out on loan), this is not including my 5 at-a-time charger. FYI - the USB chargers are in case power is out, I have plenty of battery devices for charging USB devices.

Okay - here's two links Brian gave in the past...he had a post with all three but I can't seem to find it. http://www.vaportalk.com/forum/forum/index.php?/topic/3942-am-i-vaping-polyfill/page__view__findpost__p__33689 and this on direct dripping from Roor. http://www.vaportalk.com/forum/forum/index.php?/topic/3946-how-many-drops-newbie-question/page__view__findpost__p__33738 I've posted the thread where people give the links...

What are you looking for juice wise? I see you mentioned Marlboro, are you looking for just tobacco, fruits, dessert, menthol? I know wordupecig has a nice sample pack. Sometimes tough to find. http://www.shop.wordupecig.com/e-lquid-Variety-Pack-e-lquid-Variety-Pack.htm The store here does as well. http://www.vaportalkstore.com/products/VT-Collection-E-Liquid-Sample-Pack-10ml.html Get some carts and/or learn the ptb mod, dripping, etc. Brian usually comes to the rescue with links. Forgot to add, welcome, congrats, etc.

That's when I started stocking up like a fiend. FDA making noises was scary enough for me.

A Little Testimonial And Some Questions
FTJoe replied to stevenf's topic in General Vaping Discussion
I have to say, based on speakeasy's comments a while back which I cautiously agree with, no big deal doing nic. I also cautiously say, trust your body, if it's telling you it feels good, then trust it. Mine rebelled a while back and I blew part of an artery (dissection). So I need to keep my blood pressure down and I wanted to quit the nic for that reason.
