Yeah, that pretty much says it all, Vacker.

I'm having a terrible time getting anything strong enough to taste, so if these are really that strong, I'm more than willing to give them a try. Thank you!!

And Congratulations to you, too, elem187!! I'm happy for you, too!! Two of our members getting jobs at the same time!! It might have something to do with being a member here. Maybe the pixie dust? lol

Congratulations LordVapor!!! I am so very happy for you!!!

One time. I couldn't find my 510. I had the VP2, but had been carrying my 510 around as I cleaned, etc. At bed time I couldn't find it. I looked everywhere and couldn't think where I'd left it. It finally dawned on me that I had been cooking the last time I remembered having it. I looked and looked in the kitchen before remembering I'd put it on top of the refrigerator. I felt a bit foolish, but I wasn't going to quit looking until I found it! Thankfully it never happened again. Well, yet.

Fantastic wright!!! It's so encouraging to hear people say that anything is better than going back to analogs. I just love it!! But this kind of situation is why I tell everyone to stock up and have back ups, back ups, back ups. Just in case.

I can tell you what I'm doing, jj. I started vaping the first of October 2009 and had my last analog on October 13. Because I wasn't sure on the juices at first, I got 36mg nic. The next purchase I made, I got 24. I did just fine on the 24 and since I had the 18mg samples from Arno, I tired just those next. I did fine. I stayed at 16 and 18 for a few weeks, then tried 11 and 12 from different places. Again I did fine. I figured that's where I would stay since that's about as low as you can get from most places. Then I realized I could cut that in half myself by using VG or "doublers" from Tasty Vapor. So, just to see what would happen, I started cutting to 5 or 6. I did pretty good on that, but every once in awhile I felt the need for more, so I would use the 11 or 12 mg without cutting. That worked. But then I found myself only using what I cut back. So, just to see if I could, I cut back more to about 3mg. At first it was the same thing...I needed the 5 or 6 every once in awhile. It's been several days now I'm doing just fine on 3mg (or less - I have been vaping some 0 nic now, too). I figure I'm so close to 0 right now that I could probably go 0 all the time, but I still have quite a bit of juice with nic in it that I will probably continue at this rate for quite some time or cut back to 1 or 2 mg. I just can't bring myself to throw good juice away. I did not start out saying I was getting off nicotine. At first it just seemed to happen. I was thinking that if I was fine at 24, why keep using 36. And if I was fine at 18, why keep using 24. It wasn't until the lower numbers that I wanted to see how far I could go. I don't intend to quit vaping, I still love it. But if it happens that I just gradually stop vaping, then so be it. It wouldn't be a bad thing to not have the addiction at all. Right now, I do believe I am vaping less than I did in the very beginning. But that could be because it was new, and fun, and exciting and I just couldn't quite put the thing down. Who knows? FTJoe also went down to 0 nic. I think he did it much faster and had a few "issues" doing it that way. And I think he goes for long periods of time when he doesn't vape at all. But I can't speak for him. I'm sure he'll jump in here and let you know how it went for him. So, in my opinion, I think it would be better to slowly lower your nic level and see what happens. If you can wean yourself off of it, you might not have any of the nasty symptoms. I know I haven't had one single issue or complaint. It's been as easy for me as quitting the analogs were by switching to vaping. If I was you, I would make sure I had a bottle of the higher nic while trying a new lower one - in case you feel the need for it. But it might work for you like it did for me. If it doesn't, it's not a big deal. You're still a lot better off vaping than smoking. Good luck with whatever you decide.

LMAO @ jeffb I'm just glad you found the picture. Otherwise you might like I'm crazy. Or crazier than you thought I was.

I melted the 801 carts with my VP/PT. I only used the 510 briefly with it, then switched to the 801 and have never gone back. But in the short time I used the 510, I didn't melt it. I melted through the white parts on all but one of my carts before finding out I could remove the white part. But I even melted part of the black on a couple of them before figuring it out.

My deepest sympathies, Jeff. It's so awful to lose a friend like that, but take heart in the fact that you did everything you could to revive your precious 302. I don't know how healthy it is to keep deceased friends with you, where you can look longing at them, but who am I to judge? We all deal with grief in our own ways. Just know that you have many friends here and we'll listen if you need to talk. RIP dear 302

Welcome to Vapor Talk. It sure is good to hear you think there's a ton of valuable information here. We try. You made the perfect choice in the 510. And congrats and being analog free for a few days!

Welcome to the forum. I don't have an eGo, but from what the others here are saying, I'd say go with the eGo. The Spade batteries are not 600mah. The battery is marked that way, but it was a misprint according to Chris. It sounds like the eGo has about twice the battery life of the Spade. But, like I said, I don't have the eGo. Just wish I did.

Excellent, Todd, excellent!!! Congratulations on 100 days!! I'll be there shortly and I'm looking forward to it.

See...great minds do think alike.

Transparent? You? Naw. I think I'm beginning to know you and just knew you'd be interested in 6v. That's all. And doing those mods seem cheap enough, you ought to be able to both the 5v and the 6v, don't ya think?

I think that's almost exactly what our list is. LOL I'll have to double check. Thanks for sharing it. Now I think we'll go ahead and order parts, too. Even you saying that about looking into the other stuff sounds like fun. And now a new adventure begins?

That's what I thought when I first saw the site, Brian. It didn't look difficult to me - and I don't make things like that. I showed it to my husband and he really wanted to give it a try. And it was cheap enough that we figured we could make some mistakes and it wouldn't cost much to redo either. And, if I don't like it, we're not out much.

Really nice review. I'm interested to hear how it does at 6v, too. I haven't heard very much about the Silver Bullet, but maybe it's one I should do some research on. I'm positive you have Dave's attention right about now.

Every once in awhile I start feeling guilty for the amount of money I've put into this thing called vaping. But, when I really think it through, it comes out like this... I'm about even on the money I've saved from not buying analogs compared to what I've spent on the units themselves. I started with an M401 - which cost way too much, but got me started, so it wasn't a waste. I gave it away to someone who had the same model, so I helped her out. That was good for both of us. Then I got the 901, the 801, the 510, and the VP2. In that order, about one a week or so. I gave the 901 to my son to get him started vaping. I gave the 801 to my daughter because she had the 901, too, and wasn't doing so well with it. She's going to switch to the 510 now. My other daughter started with the 510, so she's good. Then I had to try the Spade and now the VP/PT. So, I invested money in my own units, but also invested in the health of my son & daughter, too. Good investment. And like I said, I'm about even on the cost of them. You could say I am in the hole for the cost overall, because I have about $450. in supplies. I have 20 attys (both 510's and 801 LB's), I have a 510 passthrough, extra batteries for the Spade and VP2, lots of juice, plus VG and PG and flavors for mixing my own juice. I don't think of it as being in the hole though, because all that stuff will last me for several months. I hope. And in 2 months, I will break even on those costs and I'll still have most of it. I could have gone at this a bit slower, but in order for me not to fall back on the analogs - ever - I knew I had to have the extra supplies. It was the only way it would work for me. And since I do have the habit of feeling guilty about spending money, I just have to remind myself that this is so good for me in the long run and the costs will balance out soon and then I've be on the saving end. And even if it doesn't save me any money over what the analogs would cost, it is so much better for my health and well being that it is all worth it. Luckily for me I have a fantastic husband who encourages me in this whole thing. He has never been a smoker, but understood my addiction to it. He never complained about the cost or the smell. He tried to encourage me when I tried to quit. He didn't give me a bad time when I couldn't quit. He just understood. He was completely behind me on the vaping - even though I tried everything else and it never worked. He doesn't care one little bit how much money I'm spending. The only thing he cares about is my health. He doesn't want to lose me any earlier than he has to because of my bad habit. Now he doesn't have to worry about that any more. We can look forward to many more happy years together than we could have before. There are a lot of other "hobbies" I could have that would cost a whole lot more money than this does, so maybe I'm not spending so much with it. We really don't have much for hobbies, we don't go out, we're not drinkers, we are really good at being frugal with our money. We're on a really tight budget, too. I suppose that's why I feel guilty about spending the money on this. It seems to be a waste. But it's not a waste like the analogs were. I've spent the money I would have spent each week on ecigs and supplies. The extra I've spent went on a credit card. We are working hard to pay those off and I really didn't want to put any more on one, but we both agreed that for this to work out, I would need to get the supplies and be prepared so I didn't fall back on analogs. Now I'm at the point where I feel safe. I won't run out of anything and I'll never go back to analogs. So, from now on, if I need something replaced, I can do small orders and not use the credit card. And we will get that paid off. And this will all work out. And in the mean time, I feel so much better. Healthwise and I just plain feel better about myself. I'm becoming a different and better person overall. Look, I'm sitting here writing this to a bunch of people I've never met, telling things I wouldn't even tell to some people I do know. Why? I'm not sure. Because maybe it will help someone else who is concerned about the cost? Because maybe I might possibly say something that would help Dave's wife understand just a little bit? Because maybe I do like helping people and this might help someone, somewhere, sometime? I really don't know. Maybe people will read this and think I'm just a long winded old lady. But I'm one who is willing to share some thoughts in the hopes that it might do some good.

Good luck!! I have Madvapes bookmarked and that's where I thought I'd order parts from to make a mod. My husband wanted to try making one and I said I'd test it out for him. LOL But I didn't know they could be 5V units. Maybe I should have read closer. His instructions look easy enough to follow.

Yes, I do. I just took the filler out. I did not know at first that you could just take the white part out. I thought you'd suck juice into your mouth if it wasn't there. Now I know better.

That's just one of the little problems of vaping...how much you have to re-drip or re-fill to keep vaping. I've thought about the juice box because of that, too. There are two people on this forum who ordered a juice box and they said they'd let us know what they think of it when they get it. It will be a few weeks though because the maker has a ton of them to make right now and there's a 5 or 6 week waiting period.

Now that I'm not laughing quite so hard, I think I can type long enough to say...COOL!! I like it. Excuse me now, I feel another fit of laughter coming. LMAO

I melted all of the white parts on all of my 801 carts using them on my VP/PT. I am in the market for a portable 5 volt, too. The VP/PT is great if I'm sitting watching t.v. or on the computer, but if I'm up and about, it's not very handy. I'm already tired of plugging it in and unplugging it to go somewhere else. And the cord gets in my way if I'm doing anything much. But I will take my time before buying a 5 volt. I see a lot of research in my future.
