Allright Chris! Can't wait to get one of those LB atty's everyone's been raving up, and get me 30ml of Midnight...

Man, I heard this on the radio yesterday on my way home! No wonder everyone thinks All Californians are crazy. Hell, there are some weird *** people here though LOL

I've gotten a lot of canker sores from nicotine in general. I was on the gum for way too long, more than a year before I switched to vaping. I pretty much had them continually when I was using the gum, and what sucks even more is my family is very prone to getting them from stress, and other non nicotine related factors.. All that said, since I've switched to vaping, I have only gotten a few, although I can;t tolerate any juice in my mouth anymore, because of the prolonged exposure to straight nicotine from the nicotine gum I used. If I do get juice in my mouth, I have to thoroughly rinse my mouth out for at least a minute. If I don't I will be assured of sore gums and or a canker sore where the juice made contact with my mouth tissue. I have also gotten some canker sores from the rubbing of my cheeks on my back molars, particularly with my Janty Stick, when I first got it.. I was having trouble with the atomizer and was sucking my cheeks in way too much against my teeth. I got the atty problem fixed which in turn fixed the draw and haven't been having too many issues since then. In all, after I vape I try to rinse my mouth out with water, and If I don't have a sink around or anything at least gulp some water down to clear out my mouth and this has alleviated the canker sore problems. I spoke to my dentist about all of this, and he is the one who suggested that I rinse after I vape. He said that the rinsing along with the mouth's super fast healing should keep me fixed up, and all in all was supportive of vaping vs the gum, and especially smoking. He said of the three, that vaping was by far the "healthies" of all three.

@ Chris, Yeah that would be a really cool method of encouragement. @ Keenan, Thanks you are right brother, half as much smoking is that much more life. Thanks for the positive perspective.

So I have to jump in here now too.. Man I love this forum. I have never been a forum a person, and usually tend to lay more low style on posting. I definetly am addicted now, and as Chris says have the refresh bug.. This place is awesome, and even though sometimes I make posts that sometimes don't read well, everyone is always polite, helpful and respectful. Thanks to a great forum, and great new friends.

Right on JM! Dude, I just got my Mom on to vaping too! She's 64 now, and it's been a bit of a learning curve for her since she hates technology, but I got her the 510 and it's working good for her. She's still smoking part time, but I think that will subside once she gets the hang of everything, and realizes that she gets the nicotine she needs from vaping. Again, congratulations. Good job man!

Thanks GDub. I just checked them out and am ordering up some today.

Thanks everyone! @Nana, yep me too on everything you said.. I agree! Gonna get some 801LB's when they come in, and check out those Kissbox atty's..

Ok, I think I'm not snugging them down enough. Maybe it's not making good enough contact, and the draw is too light. I have tried a couple of different ones.. Two that came with the kit, and and another two that came from a different supplier, and have had the same deal with all of em.. Also tried brand new charged batteries, without adjusting or changing atty's and the same thing. It's been really weird and frustrating to say the least..

Hey Everyone, I need some input on the 801 atomizer's. I have the VP2 and have been using it for about 1 1/2 months now. About a week ago, I started having problems with vapor production. I contacted Jeso at VAPRLife, and we determined that I wasn't screwing the atty down on to the unit far enough. Problem was solved initially. Since then, I have been having problems figuring out how the draw is supposed to be on an 801. When I snug it down on the VP - it has a semi hard draw, and when it's not snugged down the draw is of course lighter. I'm thinking that the draw is supposed to be a little harder, for say than the 510, and I've been letting too much air in. With too much air, I've been getting pissed at poor vapor production and dripping too much into the atty, and perhaps flooding it, as I'm getting weak sauce vapor production. I have tried a couple of brand new atty's recently, and having the same issues. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all.. Hawk

@ Stringdancer: Just a thought, but the bad taste in the atty's may be the packing grease they use to keep them moist. Almost all of the atty;s I get come with that crap in them. I blow them all out, and leave them upside down for a couple of minutes afterward. The ones I have not blown out, have crapped out on me almost immediately. It seems that the packing grease screws em up if it's not removed. Maybe this will help on the other 3 units you still have from them..

I'm sorry to hear about Scooter, and his illness. My thoughts are with you.

I've charged my batteries right out of the box for the full 8 hours even after the light turns green, and started using them as soon as they've turned green a couple of mins later. I haven't noticed a difference between either method. I also leave mine on the charger sometimes at night as Keenan does, and have not had any problems because of that.

Hey man, glad you your wife is ok and you are too man. Throwin up a prayer for ya guys now.

And i concur with Chris, you definitely have to WANT to quit. That's the key... Good luck to you, and happy successful quiting to you! BTW - welcome to the forum!

I found that I got my nic fix right away; it's the rest of the habit you have to reassociate your brain with. ie; the pack of cigs in your pocket, the lighter, where you have to go to smoke etc. The rest of the junk in cigarettes didn't seem to be addictive for me, just the nicotine. It takes a week or two to get used to vaping in lieu of smoking, but after that it's all win win.For the first month of vaping I kept wanting to go outside, and my wife finally said, dude you can vape in the house, what are you doing? I find now that I crave certain flavors of juice now and again but don't miss any of the 4000+ other chemicals, especially all of the tar! Talk about breathing better.

I did a little more digging, and realized that the DC adapters for car charging have a protector fuse built in. Most of them anyways, so check that your does. In the event that you get a surge at any time, or if your atty decides to short out, the fuse will break the circuit, protecting your equipment. I just picked up a new DC to USB converter that has a built in fuse, it was only 10 bucks. So if you have the adapter with a build in circuit break, you should be all good..

I'm not an expert by any means, but I have always heard that is best to have all electronics off in the car before starting it, as surge can sometimes go through the electrical system, especially when first starting it up. I was always told by my dad to turn off the radio, air conditioner etc. as it's hard on them when starting up. I have just taken that for granted, and unplug my accessories(e cigs) DC adapters etc. in addition to turning everything off before I start. I could be totally wrong though...

Thanks to you and Jeso.. I didn't know that the stick had an internal circuit protector.

Right on, thank you much! 4 sure will not use the unprotected in VP1!! Bummer on the protected in the Janty though... Makes me wonder if I should be using the stick since it is w/out the protected batts.... HMMMMM.....

Sinikal, So u use the protected 10440 batts from Vaprlife in your Janty stick? I was wondering about that, if the batts from Janty were protected or not... and if the protected batts fit in the stick? Thanks!

I have also been experiencing the metal taste. I went through 5 atty's in the last 2 weeks on my 510. I had 2 originals that never had that problem, they vaped strong for over a month each. So I flooded 2 of the new ones, basically soaked them in juice for a couple of days. I blew them out and ran them for about 10 minutes to get them going again and it helped a lot, however that hint is still there, but noticeably less. It's been pissing me off too, but I wasn's sure if that was gonna just be part of the deal, or if these are new atty's from Joye?

Yea, it's sounds like you may have gotten a couple of crummy batteries.. Smoking man and I are getting way more time off of our VP2 batts. The longest one of the batteries has taken to charge so far is 3 hours, and I had run it out completely.

Killer idea. I think a lot of us would find it useful.. New users would benefit greatly with more of us moving on to the bigger PV's.

So I finally timed my run on a VP2 battery and I got 8 1/2 hours of constant vaping off of one battery. I have been running them down too, and the charge time seems more than adequate... Takes about 2 hours to fully charge after completely depleting them. I ordered 2 extra batteries with my kit, so I've been bringing an extra battery with me for the just in case, but haven't had to use it yet! Damn I love this PV!
