With the Loranns--just keep adding a bit at a time, for me I have a 1ml syringe--I usually use about .1 ml to about a ml of liquid. I just add until I like it. no exact science for me. http://www.liberty-flights.com/product.asp?id=15 This is the site. They are an Italian company that is working with Liberty flights--the shipment should be in very, very soon. customs apparently has been a bit difficult. but they are on their way. The only problem ordering directly from flavour art is the shipping cost. I plan on posting when they come in (no I am not the supplier--just a customer) keep adding--let me know if its working (or not) What flavors are you using??

For me the flavors are never strong enough--I can taste them, but i like stronger. 1st choice is flavour art--soon (very soon) to be carried by liberty flights 2nd choice is Loranns with flavorings you just want to make sure you avoid any oil based flavors--I add flavor of some kind to all my liquids. I don't usually start with the unflavored--I just add a bit to my existing flavors--just takes a little extra flavoring.

try again--didn't take the pic

This is the latest one my daughter designed and had tattooed. being a good mom, I thought the first version was too small--ankle wrap--instead now it covers the whole front of her lower leg--turned out gorgeous. She is currently designing one for me--could never decide on a design--figured it would be fitting to have her art permanently on me.

Here's my 2 cents--510 is the best way to start. once you get the hang of the ins and outs then move to a mod like the spade. The mods are bit more conspicuous order extra batteries, atomizers and liquid--and most definately order a PCC. The PCC is perfect for making sure you always have a charged battery. you have to remember the battery life is still better than a smoke--much easier to sneak a quick vape (even in class). For me the PCC has saved my butt more than once--if you still have money left, get a passthrough !!!

My personal favorite for a little extra kick is Menthol. I was never a menthol smoker. but found adding just a little to my flavors adds a little extra kick with out tasting like menthol. adds a little cool throat hit. Nice on converting neighbors--glad you have a special neighbor to share with.
-
Congrats on 6 days !!!! that is great. Vaping really is life changing. Glad you decided to stay with us. not tried the 901--but hear it is much better for flavor. The 510 is really great for throat hit. It's all about what is working for you. Many, Many Days of Happy vaping Lisa
-
LOL--Thank goodness it wasn't your precious 510--then I would cry.
-
I am so glad your 510 is working for you---Vaping is beyond superior to smoking--I love cherry. In the beginning its so easy to vape yourself silly. Now you will be able pass on your new found wisdom to all the new people--present and future. Happy vaping !!!! Lisa

What good is living if we don't cheat--if you enjoy them, then its not really cheating. Its a conscious choice to enjoy being alive !!! Sinikal--Just curious--noticed in your interests your like tattoos--tattooist or just being tattooed (or both). My daughter loves her tattoos (I do too)--she designed her own.

As soon as I quit comparing flavor, action and amount to smoking and just vaped--everything fell into place. A good rule of thumb--don't try to compare to smoking--the sooner you give up the 'smoking' comparison the sooner you will your brain will connect the dots. Like the Guys said--listen to what your body is saying--the nicotine content in e-liquid does not seem to correlate to what some smoked.. Some light smokers use 24 and 36 mg, I was a fairly heavy smoker and 18 mg works for me. When you start dripping or topping carts--its a bit easier to keep track of your intake. This calculation is by no means scientific--Just my own calculations: I use 18 mg liquid--approx 3 drops = .1ml-- 30 drops = 1ml(based on TW and LF dropper bottles)--18mg divided by 30 = .6 mg per drop. Hope that makes some sense Happy vaping
-
Just keep in mind the Loranns is really concentrated--just a little at a time until you get the right flavor !!!! Once Liberty flights gets their flavour Arts flavoring in, every flavor you can possibly imagine and good too. Flavour Art is my first favorite flavoring, but Loranns has served me well. Love lots and lots of flavor !!! Let me know what you guys come up with--the flavor possibilities are endless. Your really aren't alone nana--my coworker and i are both the same when it comes to flavor--more is better.

Are Electronic Cigarettes Really Safe?

With alcohol vs smoking--Politicians still drink--don't want to make alcohol seem too bad. It is still legal to advertise all these cool alcohol products on TV (geared toward the young)--cigarettes have not been able to advertise on TV for a couple decades Its all about what is socially acceptable and whatever is on the politically correct agenda as a nurse I see way more alcohol related disease, injury (self and others)--not in anyway saying smoking is better. I just can't remember the last time I had one to many cigarettes and took out an entire family. OK rant over--sorry, pet peeve. alcohol good, smoking bad--go figure--ok, now rant over(maybe) -
Who doesn't like the taste of footy???? I switch flavors a couple times a day--why because I can... :P I'm like Jeff Marlboro Light 30/day forever and never changed--now I can't stand using the same flavor more than a day at a time. Nana--have you tried adding flavors to you liquids--for me even 7 months out--they are never strong enough and always add either Loranns or flavour art flavorings--really spice things up.

cigarettes and booze for all intents and purposes have been grandfathered in. The government did learn a couple things with prohibition of alcohol. Some things you can't just outright ban--but you can keep taxing them. -
You got the Job--many companies wait for the drug test results before making the final commitment. Test results can take a few days. Let us know when you know for sure--but if you filled out all the paperwork, your in.

It good to know I am not the only one out there developing vaping quirks
-
Thank Chris-- I know absolutely nothing about electronics--but I can do what I am told. For me--it has worked so far, I figure at least it gives me a starting point if its not working right--dead is dead or dying. For an electronically challenged person, I will take all the help I can get. Hopefully somebody will come along and answer your question--curious now. I have learned more about batteries and voltage and ....than I ever thought I would.
-
unfortunately I don't know much about the 801. I have been using my 510 atty's without any problem--I have had the same atty on for about 3 weeks--I don't use it constantly--but it definitely get a work out. Hope you get your stuff really, really soon.
-
Glad to pass it on--I got it from another Vaper (who actually knows something about electronics)--however, I can follow directions. I love testing my batteries and atomizers--becoming another vaping OCD thing.

Not Dorky at all and Tea is good for you--two for... The teabag mod is my second choice and still use it now and again Here's Dorky--The teabag nylon hardens a bit from heat (doesn't melt)--I have developed a need to 'fluff' the filler now and again and I can't do that with the teabag mod. LOL--7 months in, and already have my little quirks...

Well said Keenan--I love your rants !!! I agree--I love my country and those that reside within its boarders and our troops beyond our boarders. Our Government is corrupt on many levels, yet there are still many that care and try to make a difference. Just like there are those among the FDA that really want to do the right things and Those that see $$$$$. Good people, like yourself and thousands of others, that need help and can't get it, because you don't know how to play the system... Cant get pregnant can you(government research program maybe)????? would qualify you for all kinds of assistance and Jay Leno, Oprah, David Letterman.... I have immensely mixed feeling about liquid/nicotine control--don't trust the government to control it...but I am also leary of completely unknown products --we have honest vendors/merchants and I am certain dishonest(not found them yet thank goodness) Worst case scenario I make my own 0 nic and wear a patch -
bad juice is always a possibility A couple months ago I bought a multimeter to test my batteries and atomizers (if I can do this, anybody can--electronically illiterate). It helped me rule out if my atomizers were bad or another problem. 1 was bad and 2 were good--started working again on their own. This looks closest to the one I got at radioshack http://www.amazon.com/Palm-Size-Handheld-Digital-Multimeter-DT830B/dp/B00066ZZO4/ref=pd_bxgy_hi_img_b Just make sure the Multimeter has a battery (I made that mistake) .first set your meter to 200 OHM the touch the red probe to the black probe and you should get a reading of 00.0 if you dont and you get something like 00.2 just subtract the # from the reading you will get from the atty. Ok put the RED probe into the small hole on the battery side of the atomizer and the Black probe into the small hole on the SIDE of the atty or on the thread you should get a reading of 2.2 - 2.9 thats a good strong atty if you get anything above 3.2 send it back..lol the lower the # the better Now the battery is done the same way EXCEPT set the meter 20v in the DCV section RED to the metal (Dent) on the battery or if you have a Mega just put it on the end that connects with the atty and the Black try and put it on the little gold band You will need to have someone hold down the batt switch while testing ..A half charged battery should read 3.6 - 4.2.If you need more help just ask Not sure if you want to go to all this work or not, but I really found it very helpful.

Nice Post Galex--I personally think its good to post all opinions. One of the Problems with FDA is their lack of information and some of the misinformation that they have posted. Some of the testing done was very biased and unreliable. Resorting to scare tactics is not the way to go. Like you--I see the overall point with the chemicals involved. However, the FDA's version of protection is not always in our best interest. None of us can dispute that vaping is infinitely better than smoking--the FDA, does not address this. It is easier for them to say 'Vaping, bad'--give a bit of trace evidence and call it good. Keenan--as for medications, essentially the drug companies list every possible side effect to cover their butts and if you do have a side effect they can say I told you so. that being said--medications have their uses as well. I recently went through this with a new medication I was taking--the side effect was rare and I had to dig to find it listed anywhere. If you look up a med online--you can see what side effects were actually documented and what percentage. Some side effects don't show up until thousands/millions are taking the medication. The ER dr should have taken the time to explain why he didn't think it was the medication.. Finding answers to illness is not easy and alot of trial and error. I really hope they find an answer for your wife !!!! Vaping is a new(ish) thing and the effects will not be known for years, however nothing else I have ever used has worked. All NRT have side effects !!! I too love being a human guniea pig--I'm willing to take the chance. Quality control is a concern, but control will not necessarily help this. China is not the only country that has had some serious quality issues--The US is very quilty as well. Happy Vaping !!!!! -
does sound like the possiblity of a flooded cart. I use the corner of a papertowel and push into the open end of the atty and then blow, repeat until paper towel comes away clean. reprime with 3 drops of liquid, vape and repeat if necessary.
