Just keep in mind that you'll want to start low and gradually go up. You might still pop the atty if you're not careful.

When you say you're looking for something that's "really strong", I think you're referring to something that's high in nicotine content and/or PG ratio in your e-liquid. If you've been smoking regular Newports then I would suggest getting a juice at around 24 mg to start. 40 VG/60 PG or something along those lines would probably be good. Just keep in mind the higher the PG, the more "throat hit" you get but less vapor. Higher VG = more vapor but less throat hit. Good luck in finding what works best for you! It's a lot of trial and error for people just starting out and everyone has different favorites.

Starter Kits vs "Custom" Set Ups for a New User
Tam replied to Nawzlew's topic in General Vaping Discussion
The best piece of advice I got from various forum members on this site is: back ups! And back ups of back ups. You never know when your atomizer, cartomizer, clearomizer, etc. is going to stop working. Most of the time mine work for several weeks up to a couple of months depending on how much I use them, but it's best to have another for when you need it. As for cleaning out your carto, it's hard to really get the filler material clean so that your juices don't mix unless you boil them. Youtube has vids for that. For me, it's too much trouble. At this time I have about seven different flavors going in Vision Nano, Vivi Nova Mini, T2, T3, MT3 and Vision Stardusts and just change each onto my battery. -
I've been looking for a really good strawberries and cream juice so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this one. Regardless, I'm very impressed with their service so far. Shortly after I put my order in I got emails that it was processing and right after that, it was showing that they shipped it! I emailed the owner to find out how much of each order is being funneled to Jennifer. As he's attending a vape con in New York I haven't gotten an answer yet.

I didn't...not this time. lol Looks like they still have 9 more in the 2.0 ohm low resistance atties. Like Rixter said I'm very partial to the Boge 2.0 ohm atomizers. Add an Empiremods eGo drip shield and a 510 drip tip and you're in business. These atomizers come with a "drip tip" type of top so you don't need to get a drip tip unless you want to. The tip that comes with this atomizer is pretty good because it doesn't let the juice come back up into your mouth when you take a drag.

The Twist and the Vision Spinner are much the same battery. The main difference I've found is that you can actually *see* the numbers and where the indicator is with the Spinner. I would suggest that. Right now I have one of my Spinners topped with a 1.8 ohm atomizer. I like to start on the lowest setting and gradually up the voltage so I don't pop the atty with a too high voltage right at the beginning. My sweet spot with this particular juice I'm using now is right around 4.3 volts. My two cents. YMMV

Thank you, Lyrical! So far so good. The surgeon is cautiously optimistic that they got it all. We'll know more in six months' time.

Good for you! I just went over and bought a 30 ml bottle of Moo Juice from Mt. Vapor Baker. My mother is recovering from cancer surgery right now. Even though she didn't have breast cancer I know how every little thing helps. How about making a separate post with this information on it? Others might see it more easily that way.

Interesting. According to the search results on Google it says that nicotine stays in the body anywhere from 48 hours to four days or more depending on how much you smoked. I wonder if it's any different with a different delivery system like vaping? Thanks, Ninjabat, for the information.

Let the juices steep for a while and then try again. By steeping, that means to let it sit in a dark place, usually with the cap off so it can breathe. Some of mine take up to a week (or more) of steeping before it tastes like it should. Hope that helps!

Interesting question. I'm going to check with my insurance company to see what the criteria is in order to be classified as a non-smoker. I seem to remember something about you have to have been off cigarettes for at least a year...? But then I'm sure it varies by companies.

Empire Mods has just added two new drip shields specifically made so they hide the threads on an eGo battery. I just ordered one of each.

If you want to try washing it that might help it last for a little while longer...or not. Good luck! -

On my Kangor T2, T3 and MT3 I sometimes wash the wicks (and let dry overnight), and that gives it a day or two more. What are you using? -
Hmmm. This is where having several batteries would come in handy. I think I would have one for bakery flavors, another for fruits, another for stronger flavors like coffees... The atties wouldn't be brand new, I would use them a little at home to make sure they all work well. So, did you have fun and find all kinds of different flavors?

The Vision Nanos work just fine on my eGo T, eGo T2, eGo C, eGo Twist, Vision Spinner... Yep. And they're good on toast! Oops. Sorry. Really old joke... -

Yes. Each coil can last anywhere from an hour to several weeks. I'm sorry that I can't be specific, it all depends on each individual coil. There are some coils that have lasted for just a few puffs (thankfully, these are pretty rare), to a couple of months. YMMV. Sorry, but I can't be any more specific than that, which is why it's important to have back ups. And back ups of back ups in case the first back up isn't any good. -

By "I emptied the darker juice in my big juice bottle", you didn't by chance put the used juice into your new juice? It's not a good idea to mix old and new. The old juice's composition has been altered by being exposed to the heat so it's not a good idea to mix the two. You're better off just disposing of the old juice and start fresh. Glad it helped! -

The juice getting darker by just adding more is normal with any kind you're using. Because the juice in the tank is getting heated up by the coil it tends to darken as time goes by. I usually run it pretty low and then empty the tank before adding more juice so that it's a "fresh" batch with each new refill. Hope that helps. -

You're welcome! We all learn from each other. -

You don't want to turn it upside down. That causes the liquid to flow into the center post which will then ooze down to the battery and causes your "leak". Just tip until the wicks get wet. Also, if you get gurgling? Remove it from the battery and blow the liquid out into a tissue by blowing gently through the mouthpiece. Hope that helps. -
After blowing through the atty and getting most of the juice out I push a corner of a tissue into the atty and let it sit. After a few minutes the tissue will wick up the rest of the juice. Sometimes I'll rinse with hot water and let dry overnight but just using one atty per type of flavor works and is easier.

You're welcome, Ninjabat! You know, I still get a giggle over your usernames for yourself and your lovely lady. ...and this is where you lose me. Uma is a better source with RBAs as I've not been down that road just yet. The time's comin' but not right now.
