  1. I see this one being broken in 3...2...1...
  2. Actually, Ms. Spydre, in public you can (in most cities and towns), as long as you're 25 feet away from any doorways, at least in Colorado.
  3. Done. Boy, they need to upgrade their servers, though. The site was really slooooow.
  4. Most likely it's the CE4, it's a disposable so if you get a couple of weeks or more, you're doing good. Your battery is probably fine and you just need to get a new clearomizer/tank. This is why so many of us use Pro Tanks and Davides (and the mini versions), it's because you can just replace the coil inside and keep on going. With a CE4, you need to buy a whole new one.
  5. Welcome. The first piece of advice I'd give you is to read the different threads on this forum, especially the pinned threads. All the information you asked for is in there. If you're just starting out I wouldn't recommend a mod for you. Start simple, learn how things work, what works for you, what doesn't, take baby steps. We've had a couple of new vapers lately who bought mods to start and regretted the purchase. I would recommend going with something like an eGo Twist or Vision Spinner, they're both variable voltage batteries. Pick up a Kangor Pro Tank 2 or Pro Tank mini or an Anyvape Davide or Davide mini to start. These all use the same Pro Tank coils. Figure out what ohm coil works best with what voltage, what ratio of PG/VG works best for you as well as the optimum nicotine level. There's a lot to learn on the basics, the terms, the equipment, etc. Learn to walk before trying to fly the jet.
  6. Take the cap off, put it into a dark, cool place and shake daily. Wait at least a week or so before vaping. Best is about three weeks for me. I'll be waiting to hear what you think of my favorite.
  7. Yeah, the first few times I bought different nic levels, it took me by surprise. There's more flavor with less nic or so I've found. Good luck!
  8. In my experience, especially with EC Blends' liquids, the color does get darker with more nicotine, even when it's fresh. My 6 mg is much lighter than anything I get in 12 mg. Nothing to worry about, imo.
  9. Doggone you, bcarter! Just ordered a 30 ml bottle of EC Blends' Bahama Mama in 12 mg nic, 50/50 blend.
  10. Most vendors, and Gotvapes is no exception, sends an email with a tracking number so you can track your packages. I paid for priority shipping on one that's still hung up in transit because of the Christmas backlog. Even though it should have been here by Christmas eve, it's still out there...but so are millions of other packages all over the US. I figure it's no one's fault, things happen, and it'll get here eventually. According to tracking it's in Denver now.
  11. I'll definitely be buying bigger bottles of the Mellow Spice, Cinnamon Stick and the Apple Cider. These are not pre-steeped so you'll want to give them a breather and a wait but it's worth it! All flavors are at 12 mg nic, 50/50 blend. I initially tried them on the HH.357 which just knocked my socks off! They even translate very well in my Davide minis.
  12. Feh. While I was trying to edit the above review, the thing timed out on me. Thankfully, I copied the text. After reading the earlier reviews I let the Buttered Popcorn e-liquid steep for a couple of weeks before trying. The first time out it tasted just like a bowl of freshly popped buttery popcorn. At first I was skeptical that an e-liquid could get this flavor right. Wow. I'm a believer! It hits great from the first time to now (half an hour of steady vaping later). With this I don't have to worry about picking popcorn kernels out of my teeth or greasy fingers. A definite keeper. Mint Medley Original Flavor: It's a bit too heavy on the winter green flavor for me (I'm not a fan of this type of mint), but the other mint flavors in it kept me vaping this juice for quite some time. I think, if you like Life Savers' winter green, you'll love this one. Cinnamon Stick Signature Flavor: It tastes like the perfect blend of real cinnamon and a touch of sweet. After vaping this one it made me want to get a fresh, hot sopapilla and put a little honey and then sprinkle a little bit of this flavor on it. Mmmmm. All the other cinnamon flavors I've ever tried have all had that red hots candy taste to them so I was a little hesitant to try this one. It's more of a bakery type of cinnamon and utterly delicious! Could become an all day vape for me. Apple Cider Signature Flavor: Take a ripe Golden Delicious apple and add a few spices to make fresh apple cider. That's what this tastes like. Of all the apple flavors I've tried, this one tastes like a real apple to me. So much so that it makes my mouth water when I take a draw. It has a nice, smooth flavor, no one thing stands out so it's perfectly blended. Mellow Spice Signature Flavor: Just like the name, this one is mellow, it's smooth, the spices are blended so well that it will keep you vaping for a long time just trying to single out each one. This could easily become an all day vape for me, it's not a flavor that I will get tired of after a few days. Now, I just need to get some more of this... Killer Clove Signature Flavor: This one is definitely not for me. After trying to vape it for about 15 minutes my tongue went numb, it feels like when you take a spoonful of soup that's too hot and it scalds your tongue. It may be a good flavor for someone else, it just isn't a good fit for me. All the Signature flavors have little bits of things floating inside like a tiny stick of cinnamon, a ball of something else, a little floaty something else... it's what really makes these flavors stand out from others.
  13. After reading the earlier reviews I let the Buttered Popcorn e-liquid steep for a couple of weeks before trying. The first time out it tasted just like a bowl of freshly popped buttery popcorn.

  14. Thanks, I'll go take a look.
  15. Chris said that he had his hands full doing things and to remind him about it after the holidays -- I'm thinking sometime in January. That Compenstine's posts can be liked is an early happy coincidence. Now, go sit in the corner over there and try to be patient.
  16. A Vision Eternity does allow you to direct drip. The set up is such that you have to get a very small diameter of wire to build the coil for it. So far I haven't been able to find one that fits it just right.
  17. Nearly all tanks will gurgle or leak at some point depending on the coil at the time. If I remember correctly, it performed okay, I just get much better flavor from the Davides. I experienced more flavor muting from the Aspire. YMMV, however.
  18. Just me, but I'd be inclined to go with the Davide mini just because I'd need to change out the coils and their price. I have a couple of Aspire Bottom coils, don't know if it's the same one you're looking at. They're...okay, but not something I use regularly particularly because of the price of the coils and the Davide mini performs better for me.
  19. Actually, there is an airflow adjuster for the Kanger Pro Tanks, it's just not made by Kanger. I don't remember where I got mine but I've had it for over three weeks now and it works perfectly.
  20. The eGo Twist and the Vision Spinner are essentially the same, just made by different companies. I prefer the Vision Spinner because the numbers are much easier to see so I know what voltage I'm using with just a glance. The Twist's numbers are etched into the metal and are very hard to see for me. I'd add either a Kangor Pro Tank 2 or an Anyvape Davide mini with 1.8 ohm or 2.2 ohm coils. The Davide mini is my preferred tank when I'm not direct dripping, it gives great performance, imo. Add some e-liquid at 18 or 24 mg of nicotine and start with a 50 PG/50 VG ratio would be my recommendation. I was a pack a day Marlboro Light smoker when I went to vaping. The 24 mg of nic helped get me over the rough spots and it didn't take very long at all before I went down to 12 mg of nicotine. YMMV.
  21. Yes.
  22. All too often we've gotten new members who are here to sell something, goober, then we never hear from them again. We've even had a few bad apples who took the money and never sent the product so forgive us if we're a little wary of newcomers selling goods. Stick around, get to know us better (and us, you), and you'll have a better chance at selling your wares.
  23. Hey, Jeff? I just rechecked the forum rules and there's nothing that states you need a minimum of 10 posts before you can put something up on the classifieds thread. Maybe add that for future reference?
  24. Quite a few years ago I made a New Year's resolution: Never make anymore New Year's resolutions. So far, so good. I finally figured out that I was only setting myself up to fail even if I would've done that resolution on my own. Just knowing the resolution was there made me want to break it.
  25. We see a lot of new vapers on this forum who start out smoking and vaping, trading off from one to the other for some time before they gradually go with vaping altogether. Like mcquinn said, it's not an all or nothing type of thing. You can vape and smoke and let things happen naturally. For me, when I started vaping, I gave myself permission to do both. It only took five days before I was totally off the cigarettes and didn't want them anymore. Since then, I've picked up a whole new hobby: vaping. Yes, there are a lot of new things to learn. Even those of us who have been vaping for some time now still learn new things all the time. Don't stress out that you haven't made the switch right away. That kind of thinking will only make it worse, imo. Take a count of how many cigarettes you usually smoke in a day. Then, count out that many cigarettes for yourself on day one. Vape when you want to. At the end of the day count the remaining cigarettes. How many less did you smoke that day? Keep a smoking diary so you can see the progress. If you slip, no big deal, start again the next day. As time goes by you'll find that your cigarette count goes down. Stay with it. You've got the start part down by getting some good, quality stuff from Brian. Great move there, by the way. You can't do better than Brian at The Veteran Vaper. We'll be here with you every step of the way. In the mean time go through the threads of this forum and read everything you can starting with the pinned threads. You'll learn so much there.
