Hi Darrin, judging from your list it looks like you're ready to go. I was going to recommend a couple of "mega" batts but you said you spend most of your time at the computer so I think the usb adapter was an excellent choice. Be sure to keep us posted!

I ordered two adapters and a bottle of his clove juice. I'll let you know what I think of the juice when I get it.

Damn Lord I am so sorry! This has to be so frustrating for you. It sounds like the honeymoon is over. I don't know what to say other than there are people here who enjoy your posts and would help if we could. If you lived by me I would drive over and let you try different juices to see if any help you. All I can say is that I'll say a prayer for you.

NeRO9k thank you thank you! I have been told before that they dont exist and you found my Holy Grail. You da man.

To me Dulcis tastes like tobacco with a hint of caramel. It's #1 in my juice arsenal. You can get it at the Vapor Talk store.

Hi HoosierMama, sounds like you go to a Dr with common sense. We need more of those. Thanks for sharing.

Here's the article. (Thanks Bird Dog) Cigarette threat 2.0 Last August, a fire erupted inside the cargo compartment of a plane that had just landed at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. The most likely culprit was a shipment of 1,000 electronic cigarettes, battery-operated devices that function similarly to their paper-and-tobacco counterparts. Though only minimal damage was reported, the incident has called into question the safety of these increasingly popular devices. Since entering the U.S. market in 2007, "e-cigarettes" have become a $1 million-plus industry numbering approximately two million consumers, according to the Electronic Cigarette Association (ECA). A few hundred companies worldwide—12 are ECA members—produce the devices, which are powered by a lithium-ion battery and include a cartridge filled with a solution that may contain nicotine. Smokers suck the mouthpiece to inhale a vapor produced by the atomizer, or heating chamber, designed to warm the solution. The devices come in both disposable and reusable forms; a "starter kit," where the smoker only replaces the cartridge when needed, can cost up to $100. The jury is still out on whether the e-cigarettes are any safer than real cigarettes, says Robert Duval, NFPA’s New England regional manager and senior fire investigator, who gave a presentation on e-cigarettes at NFPA’s International Conference on Fire-Safe Cigarettes late last year. "It would be nice to say that e-cigarettes are a safer alternative, but we can attribute at least one fire to these things," Duval says. "From the fire-safety perspective, you still have a heat-producing device. What if you have one in your pocket and it’s supposed to shut off but doesn’t?" Advocates of fire-safe cigarettes hope the fire-safe technology can reduce the number of fires resulting from smoking materials, and backers of e-cigarettes are making a similar pitch. "There is no open flame or the need to extinguish the e-cigarette at the end of each use," says ECA President Matt Salmon. "There are, however… deaths or injury each year because of fires started by unattended [traditional cigarette] butts, and that doesn’t include the many wildfires that have been caused by a discarded butt." According to NFPA statistics, there were 142,900 reported smoking fires in 2006, resulting in 780 deaths, 1,600 injuries, and $606 million in property damage. Duval says a cause for concern is the e-cigarettes’ power source: the lithium-ion batteries that are also found in various rechargeable devices. He notes at least five other incidents where the batteries caused fires similar to the one at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Last summer, the Air Line Pilots Association called for a ban on bulk shipments of the batteries due to their apparent malfunctions. "E-cigarettes are something fire marshals and the fire investigation community should know about," Duval says. "They may run into these things in the future and shouldn’t overlook them, since they’re battery-powered, heat-producing devices."

Hi ledy I'm not familiar with happyvaper since they are a canadian supplier. You may want to contact them and ask if thier product is joye. Some suppliers buy joye and pay to have thier own packaging. Since you're in Canada you will need to find a supplier that will ship there. Wordupecig.com ships to Canada. Talk to Jeffrey over there, he's a good guy. Let us know how it goes.

Hi gail, heart palpatations isnt good. How much did you smoke before? With direct dripping you do have to drip often, depending of course how much you vape.

Im glad it worked out for you! As to your question regarding my favorite strong flavored juice it would have to be Dulcis.

Sorry daja the 510 batts wont work with a 801.

Great kuya, what was his name again?

Hi jnnfrlsw, Jason over at electronicstix.com has the mega batts for $17.95. I am getting 3-4 hours from my mega batts. I like them alot. I have the 510 passthrough for my car which works great.

I haven't seen an adapter to go from 510 to a 801 or a 901. Is there one?

You know, I never thought about giving unreal expectations to noobies. So many of us on here love vaping and are soooo glad to be off analogs, I don't know which part of that we are more excited about, the vaping or no more analogs. Anyways, Wompa that was an excellent review of vaping from a noobies standpoint. Thank you so much for writing out your thoughts for us to read.

Hi kuya, ecigsupply.com has very low prices on 510 units. He's selling the 510 kit for $39.99 & the passthrough for $14.95 his atties are $7. I have not ordered from him but I have heard good things. I wouldn't focus on price when it comes to juice. Look at various reviews of flavors that interest you and order accordingly. Keep us updated.

Hi Minedbojo! I too look forward to your review. Pics would be cool if you have the ability.

Hi dylnne, the flat side is the (-) side. Hope that helps. I highly recommend the charger that Brian posted a link to. Its very easy to operate and you dont have to fiddle with the batteries as much.

I'm sitting here at work reading the latest edition of the NFPA Journal. The NFPA is the National Fire Protection Association. Well, I'm thumbing through it and what do I see but an article entitled "Cigarette threat 2.0". It seems there was a fire that erupted in a cargo compartment of a plane that just landed at Min. St. Paul. The cause of the fire was a shipment of 1,000 e-cigs. The article states " Though only minimal damage was reported, the incident has called into question the safety of these increasingly popular devices". The issue with the fire protection community is not the stty and such but the batteries. In fact last summer the Air Line Pilots Asscoiation called for a ban on bulk shipments of batteries due to their apparent malfunctions. So I'm thinking this is just great! As if we didn't have enough problems with the FDA, now we have potential rivals with the NFPA and the ALPA.

The maker of the juicebox goes by "carlos49" on Youtube. You might be able to get info that way.

I ordered the one Brian gave the link to. It works great and its nice to be able to charge 2 at a time. FYI- it takes about two weeks to get it delivered.

Hi oper8tor2. Keep us updated on your experience with the protege'. I've been eyeing that unit and I'd like to hear about the good & bad. It is a sharp looking PV.

ISometimes I think "Tech Support" is an oxymoron Thats got to be fruastrating TSM!!! It is good to see you on again.
