Wow man, I'm just now starting to stock up attys; I have only 30 cartos and maybe 10 510s and two 801s. I have a long way to go! I wish I had more money. Maybe I should check that lottery ticket... Nope; not even close. Man I think your loyalty to VT is wonderful! I know where you're coming from; Chris earns every bit of that he gets, and he gets plenty. There are few people as dedicated to our choice as he is. Thanks Chris for all you do. And FTJoe, you're the same kind of person; buying all this stuff to try to turn other smokers onto vaping should have an award. I don't think we have awards yet but maybe we can establish one in your name with one of the vaping organizations. I think you've earned that with your dedication to fellow humanity. I'm going to let you be my hero for today too man, you are a special sort of human. Thanks for all you do too FTJoe.

D00d! That's freakin awesome!!! What a beautiful setup. Man you have more attys than I've ever dreamed of! Can't wait to get a collection like that going; you're the freakin Man! FTJoe, you can be my hero for today; I haven't had one for a while now but this just takes the cake my man. Thanks for sharing, great stuff.

I sure don't doubt it's real. Governments are just doing a shake-down. They want their cut like pharma and tobacco do. Stupid analog businesses just don't know how to take advantage of the digital world. It's true in music, it's true in publishing, it's true in movies. The establishment (oh, we used that word with disrespect in the 70s!) just does not understand how to move sideways. What happens in reality though, is it ends up a diagonal path and everyone gets satisfied. Eventually. The trip getting there though is a big fat MF. Some day we'll see the end of prohibition too, I just may not live to see it. But it's bound to happen because reality is bigger than everybody. Trying to change reality is like pushing a rope up a mountain. Businesses try that every day; it just costs them time and money. Governments try that every day; it just makes them look stupid and the smart voters eventually get their way and vote the stupidest bureaucrats out. Unfortunately there's always plenty of stupid and inertia to drag things far beyond their logical conclusion. The sane response to this is to acquire as large an inventory of critical products as possible. I'm glad I have my nic now; attys are next, and then connectors. I'm not going to take up analogs again until they make me. You guys in denial can go ahead and get ready to smoke or quit nicotine. Your choice. Just realize that eventually vaping will see its worth, and when all the big players have figured out how to get their cut, it'll all be okay again. Trust me. It's just about money.

Yep; dripping 510s -- that living the good life.

This is freakin ludicrous! What the hell is going on?! These governments are hell bent to kill us! Really, this is beyond sensible. But I'm sure the right grease in the right palms will make ecigs available from China. It's just gonna be customs that gets in the way. Sounds like prices are going to quadruple because of the multiple orders suppliers will have to make to get one to get through. But get through some will. This is stupid; stupid like DRM. Stupid like prohibition. People are going to do what they need to stay sane and feel alive, and no government can control human nature to an extent like this. It's just asinine.

I gotta step up here too, to support the idea that the best cart mod is a drip tip -- when I'm using a regular or LR atty, dripping is the only way to go. If I were in a situation where I couldn't drip then I'd be using a cartomizer; those things absolutely rock. In fact, since I got my first one several weeks ago I haven't used anything else; I'm vaping at 6V - voltage rules. If I was vaping 3.7V it would be a LR atty with a drip tip, no two ways about it. Just my .02. Have fun and vape on!

Ha! My son Adam got his first e cig today, and within minutes was blowing vapor rings. How freakin cool is that?! He's vaping his new eGo with a LR atty, dripping a wonderful strong Turkish Blend from Wordup. WooHoo! I'm a pretty pleased papa. Perhaps he'll show up here eventually but I didn't see any reason not to blow his horn first. Edit: What's more, Adam got a beautiful, shiny black and pristine 1966 VW Beetle today. He's had quite the day.

Congratulations on the new upcoming addition to your family! That's wonderful, even if unexpected. A new life is a precious thing. Cool about your Mustang! You must be proud, even if busy. Way to go! As to being busy in your work, well I guess diversity makes the world go round... It can't all be peaches and cream even if we suppose it should be. Right? Be safe! And take some names for the good guys.

No kidding? There's really a commercial about that? Then I guess I'm not crazy after all. I was honestly kind of wondering if it was just me. Whew! Same here! Which was the inspiration for this thread. That's far more efficient than Chris' and my method! LOL! So I'm really waiting for one of our ladies to step up here and explain this once and for all. Then it may no longer be a mystery! Or not.

I totally agree about 510 cartomizers! I'm vaping mine at 6V and haven't so much as looked at another atty since I got the first carto about a month ago. I keep about 5 flavors in action at any given time and usually get four or five refills on one before it goes belly up. Normally I can get nearly a full day of vaping out of a filled carto. I can't decide which is the better benefit - super performance or excellent convenience. I dig em and can't imagine what's coming next that will be better.

Have you ever noticed how women put the toilet paper roll on with the loose end against the wall (where no how hard you try, you cannot get hold of it), while men put it hanging to the outside? What's up with that?!

+1 for the wonderful generosity Joshua! That's what makes VT and vapers generally so grand in my book!

Thanks for the review Kragax! I'm always into hearing about new flavors. Right now I'm back to my recent fave, kiramisu coffee, courtesy of kitsune! That new batch of DV kiramisu better get here quick! I'm down to one more carto-full and then it's ... something else for me.

Nice cheerleading there thebat1! We can never have too many new vendors to try can we? I'll give VK a try myself; two good reviews in a row must be telling me something. I recently got resupplied of 555 from MFS, so it'll be a couple months, but they'll be my next try if they have it strong enough.

Me Brian, ME!

Kitsune, I was just about to mention this! I don't need the 905, I just wanted to say that kitsune has done this very thing for me. She sent me a whole freakin boatload of tobacco flavors, asking only that I pay it forward too. What a wonderful sentiment! You guys are all just great, you've done more for me than I can say.

Great review, I'm psyched! I've used FA tiramisu before, it's my favorite too. Now I may have a new first-go-to flavor! We both do! Smyvapor, which other flavors do you ... favor? I might be able to add to my order if I do it in the morning. No biggie otherwise, I can always order again. And again, I'm sure. Like Burn, I make probably 90%+ of what I've been vaping. Not because I'm cheap so much though that's part of it, but because I'm learning to tweak it to match my voltage and reduced taste buds. It's a good way to do it. Just wish I could figure out 555!

Well nobody else was sayin' much! And I knew I'd need it right now...

I'll let you know how it is, I'm gonna go ahead and get some ordered. I need that! Take care not to get burned, that AZ sun will go right through your clothes. (No need to inquire how I might know that.)

At least I wasn't talking out loud. I don't think...

Y'all are going to get a good laugh out of me today, aren't you? Go ahead, I am. So I found Decadent Vapror flavorings at TW. The only downside is that they seem to only offer 10ml, and that's often more than I use in one recipe. I guess I'll just have to suck it up and buy multiples. How goofy can they be? I guess if people like me are willing to buy in small quantities they win. Nothing goofy about that. But it's not very nice...

That is a totally worthwhile thing to point out Burn. I sure wish this would work for me but so far hasn't. I really am glad for you folks who can cut down the nic strength. I'm sure that eventually I will too, because I know I vape less now than I did in the beginning. That's a direct line to what you're talking about. I have hopes of cutting back some day too but sure not there yet! Good stuff, thanks.

I realized while I was getting ready for work that I probably mean Decadent Vapor or something like that. I bet I can find it, and will look when I get to work... Still looking for tiramisu, and if anyone knows a good source lemme know please!

This is one of those issues no one really knows about just yet. The absorption rate for nicotine in analogs vs vapor is quite different, though as far as I know there's no hard and fast measurement out there. I can say for sure though that you do not absorb nicotine as efficiently from vapor as you do from smoke.

Wasn't there a post here recently where we were talking about Decadent Flavors? If so, I sure can't find it and I need help! Looking for Tiramisu (thanks Lisa!), and Freedom Smokes appears to be out of stock of the FA tiramisu. Dang! Somehow I got the idea Decadent Flavors makes it too, and I hope that's true. Any help appreciated!
