Welcome to Vapor Talk.

Can you give us some more information on this? Does it do anything when you plug it in? Does the display or any lights come on? Have you tried other charging cords to see if that's the problem? Is this a new devise or is it older? Have you dropped it? More information will be very helpful for us to try to help you.

I took your survey but you really needed questions about seasonal or non-seasonal allergies to get a better representation. I have respiratory issues (coughing, sputum, wheezing, shortness of breath, etc.) because of allergies. We just found black mold in our house because of a slow leak we didn't know we had (it could've been there for a year), and once we got it mitigated, most of the worst allergy symptoms went away. When there's little to no pollen in the air, I'm totally fine. Also, I have a bad hip that makes moving around and doing physical activities next to impossible, it's not because I smoked or used e-cigarettes. When I had smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for 35 years, I went to a smoking cessation class being given by two very experienced Respiratory Therapists. They used me as an example of what bad lungs smokers had. They had me expel a lungful of air as fast as I could into a machine. Most smokers and former smokers can only expel maybe up to 40% of the air in their lungs in ten seconds. That's what they expected anyway, but I pulled a 94% on my first try and 97% the second time, which is pretty good for someone who never smoked but not something you'd expect from a smoker. I was a bad example for how bad cigarette smoke is for lungs. At that time, I was running 2 - 3 miles per day 4 times a week, which might have contributed to my overall lung capacity. Anyway, good luck with your survey!

EC Blends might. I tried looking to see if they do or not but couldn't find anything. You might try sending a help ticket to see for sure? I've been doing business with them since shortly after I started vaping and they've always been consistently good with product quality and customer service.

These days there are way too many choices out there. After much trial and error I landed on Aspire Triton 2 tanks, 1.8 ohm coils, and Eleaf iStick Power for the battery. If I were someone just starting out today, there are much smaller, easier set-ups available like the smaller sticks that travel better than a big clunky things like what I used to use back in the day. What works for one person may not be what works for another. Trying new things is half the fun of discovering your new vape. Good luck, and we'll be around to answer questions if we can.

Welcome to Vapor Talk.

The last time I traveled on a plane, which was a few years ago, as long as it was in one of those 3 oz. bottles and fit into the quart-sized baggie, it went through with no problems. Anything bigger and it won't be allowed on a carry-on. Just double check with the airline you're booked on. They all have a page that tells you what's allowed and what's not.

Hi Steve. Welcome to Vapor Talk. Please keep your posts about vaping regular eliquid, we do not allow talk about cannabis, CBD or THC on the forum so please be sure to steer clear of those things. Good luck with your new gear!

Without knowing the brand and model of your vaping device, it's hard to give you instructions, but most pen-types will work if you just suck on it. If there's no button, it's one of those. If there is a button, click it five times. There should be a light that will flash a few times. I hope that helps.

Asking questions in an introductory post is fine. Glad you found us, we're always happy to help others to make the journey off of cigarettes to vaping. The forum is quieter these days than it used to be, but we still have good folks ready to jump in when needed. I hope you find the answers you're looking for here. Welcome to Vapor Talk.

What's the PG/VG ratio of your eliquid? Depending on what kind of tank you're using, too much VG can gum up the coil. VG = thicker liquid, slightly sweeter, more vapor PG = thinner liquid, more throat hit, less vapor If you can change the ratio of PG/VG, do it a little at a time, vape to see if that's enough to stop the cracked lips. Also, try to be more conscious of how often you're licking your lips (especially around the corners). Because of the cracking, it might be that you're licking your lips more often therefore exacerbating the problem.

First, I would ask why you want to try vaping? Are you currently a cigarette smoker trying to quit?

From what you wrote, it could be a number of things. First, when you "hydrate", are you drinking plain water or are you drinking sodas, coffee, tea or energy drinks? Plain water is best from my experience. Next, it could be the flavors you're vaping. Try something bakery related or a non-acidic fruit, if possible. Give those a try and let us know if it helped. Vaping can be a lot of hit and miss things. Once you get past that, it can be a lot of fun as well as a way to get off nicotine. Good luck!

Never used puff counters even when my batteries had them. My vaping would vary so much depending on stress factors that it wouldn't be of any use to me. Some days I would chain vape while other days I might go hours without taking a hit. I know some people like to keep track so it's useful for them. Do you use it?
