  1. That's kinda rough with a CE4 imo. What ratio is she using? Even at 24 mg of nic with a 50/50 ratio, it's still pretty smooth to me but it also depends on the flavor. Bakery flavors tend to be more mellow in my experience. Some of the fruit flavors (those with higher citrus content) can get a bit harsher at that level. I've also found that adding a drop or two of extra sweetener tends to ease up on the harshness factor. YMMV. ETA: And why is she still using CE4s anyway, Josh? Get her into an Anyvape Davide mini with a 1.8 ohm coil and some pretty drip tips. Just thought of something else. A bottom coil also might help to take some of the harshness. The CE4s are top coil IIRC, thus a more harsh vape with more nic.
  2. MAYBE I'M NOT SHOUTING LOUD ENOUGH?
  3. Yes, some are stronger than others. Coffee flavors usually give off the strongest from what I've experienced. Fruit flavors are usually pretty light. We're not supposed to vape in the building where I work so I stealth vape in my office. My boss walked in one day just a second after I exhaled an orange-cranberry juice. He sniffed and asked what smelled so good. I just shrugged and said, "Maybe it's the new air freshener I just put up?"
  4. Try this to see if it'll behave... Sorry to hear you might've gotten a dud, but if this is the first one you're doing good.
  5. What you described tells me that you have a higher ohm (probably 2.5 ohm or higher) in your CE5, which is why it won't work on your 650 fixed battery. Try turning your 900 up, vape, up, vape, repeat until you get a slight burnt taste. Back it down just a bit. That should be the sweet spot on your CE5 with the coil that's in it now. Glad you got it working for you.
  6. I'm unfamiliar with a triple 3 ego. Is there a link you could put up? CE5 are not exactly wickless, the wicks are in the coils on the bottom of the tank, they're just very short. Just an FYI. Now, the CE5 have changeable coils so you should be able to take the bottom off and screw off the coil to change it to another. Do not over tighten! Stop when it gets snug. The 650 and 900 mAh batteries, are they variable voltage or are they fixed voltage? Is there a way to twist the bottom of the battery to turn up the heat (voltage) on them? If not, what might be happening is that the ohms in your coil may be too high and it's not getting enough voltage (power) to heat the coil to the point where it produces vapor. Since you don't know what ohm your coils are I'm just guessing here. Try this: while holding down the power button on your battery, take several long draws in a row. Is the last one getting a little vapor? If not, the bottom of your coil might be pushed down too far. Try the method in the video below but be very gentle and careful not to pull the center post out. Just go a little bit at a time and then try the CE5 again.
  7. What exactly are you using? Without that information I can't begin to help with your questions. What brand and style of battery? Which clearomizer? What ohm coil? Also, one other thing. The reason why you're not getting any "smoke" is because there is nothing combustible when you vape. If you set something on fire it will give off smoke. We "vape" and get "vapor". It's a small distinction but something we prefer in order to differentiate ourselves from cigarettes and all the negativity related to "smoking".
  8. The Veteran Vaper site offers free shipping on orders of $75 or more. You'll be hard pressed to get better customer service than what Brian provides. He's great about answering questions and I've only heard raving positive feedback from everyone I've referred to him. Every single person I've referred who has done business with Brian has has a great experience. That's a tough act to follow.
  9. $33 for a 1300 mAh??? The Veteran Vaper sells them for $24.95. http://www.theveteranvaper.com/vision-spinner-1300mah-variable-voltage-battery/
  10. I'm so sorry to hear about your mother but I'm very glad you switched to vaping and made good on your promise. Best wishes for a long good vaping streak with your new mod!
  11. The good thing about vaping is that it's not an all or nothing thing. Every once in a while I'd light one up, take two or three drags, then run to the bathroom to brush my teeth and take a shower. I can't stand the taste and smell of them anymore, but it's good to know that I'm no longer tempted. At. All.
  12. Thanks, but we make the best of what's there. Is it a pain to have to remember everything? Yeah, but the positive side is that modern medicine has come so far that we now actually have these PITA things to haul around.
  13. Since it's the Twist, just turn the voltage down all the way. Vape. If it's not performing to your satisfaction/giving you the flavor or vapor it should, turn it up a little and vape. Repeat until you get a slight burnt taste then back it down a little. That should be your sweet spot.
  14. Only when we have good base material to work with. Thank you. Thank you. We'll be here all week...
  15. I think most of us vape or vaped more than we smoked. As long as you're not experiencing any negative symptoms...vape away! Be sure to increase your water intake as vaping dehydrates you. Better to stick with more water than soda, juice, coffee or tea, though. Also, a sign of dehydration is the inability to taste your juice like you did.
  16. You're just fine. When we give up the analogs it's normal to need a little extra nicotine to stave the cravings. Once you vape for awhile you might want to look at lower the nic a bit. The numbers are loose guidelines, not written in stone. If it ain't broke, don't fix it would be a good mantra for you at this point in time. If it's throat hit you want, you could go with a higher PG ratio in your juice. That also affects throat hit. But for now I'd stay with what's working for you. As a Marlboro Light smoker for decades I started with 24 mg of nic to get me through the quitting phase. After awhile I noticed I was getting slightly dizzy, a little nauseous, headaches, etc. (all symptoms of nicotine overdose), so I lowered the nic level in my juice. Problem fixed. You're doing fine as is. Keep it up!
  17. You know...you only need to post this once. We won't ignore you.
  18. Lol! You're going to have to work much harder to earn the right to wear that hat!
  19. And looks very much like it was run through Google translate. *sighs* Basically, it's an advertisement whitewashed as an instruction manual.
  20. If the instruction manual on the 134 is anything like what came with my VTR -- it's all but useless.
  21. It might help us to help you if you could take a picture of your "top bit"? This is also why we don't recommend mods to new vapers, it's better to start off with batteries that are simpler...
