  1. It's too bad you can't buy a unit that runs at 4.5-4.7 volts... (or can you?) because that sure is a great setting on my Buzz. I rarely NEED to change it from that area.
  2. Glad you are able/going to fix it! Enjoy!!
  3. Probably works about as good as the "Cialis" e-liquid does...
  4. I rec'd 30ml of VT COLA one Thursday at 4:00 pm. It was totally gone by Sunday evening. So... the answer is: I vape too much!!
  5. I agree with GDUB.... I've had the best luck with the BE112's as far as "penstyle" goes. And a regular Joye 510 has worked fine as well. I think atty's are still going to be hit and miss though... especially when it comes to HV vaping.
  6. Or more painfully... your crotch!!!
  7. If you direct drip only... then you don't need any filler in your carts?
  8. I got all my "junk" from Totally Wicked store. There "eGo" is called the Tornado... and it is all interchangable nicely. They have everything you are talking about...
  9. Another thing I noticed that I really like, and has been mentioned, is that it has a drip resevoir and the lights are on the correct side when using my thumb. Just another thing I noticed and appreciate... I'm happy that plenty of thought went into the Buzz. It just seems so much more durable than other pv's I've got for some reason.
  10. I like their blank premium cartos to fill myself... never tried any of the prefilled ones. Let me know how they are.
  11. It's like a whole new world of vaping isn't it? Everyone should be offering variable voltage! Love it....
  12. That's funny... that's EXACTLY where I'm at! Perfect.
  13. Same here... and if I do it's just a bit up or down. I don't need the meter for that.
  14. Oh so true... @ Brian - I have fell in love with the Buzz at around 4.6 - 4.7 Works great with everything for me.
  15. I couldn't have said it better.... I guess nobody believes it.
  16. I've only had MINOR inconsistency from one to the other of the V4L ones I've used. For what it's worth.
  17. Yep, I found that they work great if you let them sit for a few mintues after every few tokes.
  18. I can assure you FT... I've settled in at 4.6-4.8 with my Buzz and V4L Premium cartos. I couldn't be happier. I just needed that unit that would provide me with the "in-between" that I was looking for. I also felt like 3.7 was not nearly enough... but that 5+ was too much for my liking. I still just LOVE using this baby.
  19. Some great points made here!! I studied alot of this in college while getting my Psychology degree... interesting stuffs.
  20. All I know is I didn't want something that I had to take apart and put back together just to get different voltages. Add o-rings here, take one out there, put on a sleeve, change battery sizes.... no thanks for this cat. Fully assembled, any setting, all the time... Buzz.
  21. I sure like my V4L Premium cartos at 4.5 volts. The only thing I notice.... do you all still find yourself adding liquid every 5-10 puffs? I mean, you don't vape em dry then fill do you? It still isn't that much easier than just direct dripping. I take 6-8 blasts and the flavor starts going away quickly. Is this normal??
  22. http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/02/08/e.cigarette/index.html?iref=allsearch Study: 'Electronic cigarettes' don't deliverBy Paul Courson, CNN February 9, 2010 12:46 p.m. EST Nurse Barbara Kilgalen demonstrates an e-cigarette during research at Virginia Commonwealth University.STORY HIGHLIGHTS Nicotine delivery system same "as puffing on an unlit cigarette," researcher says Virginia Commonwealth University studies "no-smoke tobacco" devices FDA has halted imports of the devices as it studies their effect on health RELATED TOPICS Smoking and Tobacco Use Food and Drug Administration Virginia Commonwealth University Washington (CNN) -- "Electronic cigarettes" that vaporize nicotine juice to inhale instead of smoke from burning tobacco do not deliver as promised, according to research at Virginia Commonwealth University. "They are as effective at nicotine delivery as puffing on an unlit cigarette," said Dr. Thomas Eissenberg, at the school's Institute for Drug and Alcohol Studies. His study, funded by the federal National Cancer Institute, is the first by U.S. doctors to check the function of so-called "no-smoke tobacco" devices, which are unregulated in the United States for sale or use. The units are shaped like a cigarette and contain a battery that heats a filament to vaporize liquid nicotine in a refillable cartridge. Smokers buy the devices to get around no-smoking restrictions and to attempt to quit conventional cigarettes. Some users nickname what they're doing as "vaping" instead of smoking, to reflect the vapor produced by the heating element. The devices are marketed as an alternative to smoking, but retailers avoid making claims about health or safety. Fans have established a Web site, www.e-cigarette-forum.com. Founder Oliver Kershaw said the site "is the largest e-smokers community online with some 26,000 members, most of whom are in the U.S." Jimi Jackson, a former tobacco smoker in Richmond, Virginia, who sells electronic cigarettes, is convinced there are immediate health advantages in avoiding the known cancer-causing substances in the smoke of a burning cigarette. "I smoked 37 years, and when I found them, I was, like, 'Thank, you Jesus,' " Jackson said with a laugh, as a reporter visited his shop, No Smoke Virginia, coincidentally just a few blocks from where the research was conducted at Virginia Commonwealth. In March, the Food and Drug Administration imposed a ban on continued imports of the devices, pending regulatory review for any health risks. The latest clinical evidence suggests users are not getting the addictive substance they get from smoking tobacco. "These e-cigs do not deliver nicotine," Eissenberg said of the findings he expects to publish in an upcoming issue Tobacco Control, a product of the British Medical Journal Group. This past summer, Eissenberg recruited smokers without prior experience using e-cigarettes to volunteer to use two popular brands of the devices for a set period. The 16 subjects were regularly measured in a clinical setting for the presence of nicotine in their bodies, their reported craving for conventional cigarettes, and certain physiological effects such as a change in heart rate. "Ten puffs from either of these electronic cigarettes with a 16 mg nicotine cartridge delivered little to no nicotine," the study found. But the units may deliver hazardous chemicals, according to preliminary checks by federal regulators. In a notice to importers, the FDA blocked continued shipments after finding diethylene glycol, a chemical used in antifreeze that is toxic to humans. The government's statement noted there are no health warnings on the products, and that "the FDA analyses detected carcinogens, including nitrosamines." The notice of the import ban says "the product appears to be a combination drug-device," that "requires pre-approval, registration and listing with the FDA" in order to be marketed in the United States. A company challenging the import ban claims in federal court documents to have sold 600,000 of the devices in a year's time through a network of 120 distributors in the United States. "We are on the verge of going out of business, which is why we are suing the FDA in U.S. District Court," said Washington, attorney Kip Schwartz, representing a company called "Smoking Everywhere," a U.S. wholesaler that was importing the devices from China. The lawsuit questions the FDA's authority to block shipments of a non-tobacco product, and says the agency has violated its statutory process for product review. Liquid nicotine is available on the open market through pharmaceutical houses and vendors who sell e-cigarettes. A judge January 14 ruled the FDA does not have such authority, but the agency has taken the matter to the U.S. Court of Appeals, which has yet to decide the case. The appeals panel issued a stay against the judge's ruling until it can rule on the agency's appeal. Meanwhile, based on the judge's ruling, lawyers for the importers have filed a request to compel the FDA to lift its import ban, saying the agency is not likely to win its appeal. The filing says "although e-cigarettes have been sold since 2007, FDA has not identified a single instance, either in this Court or below, of an adverse health effect from e-cigarettes." President Obama, who has described himself as an occasional smoker, has been offered one of the devices by Florida Rep. Cliff Stearns. The Republican lawmaker's office said the president did not respond. An administration spokesman last year said the White House was not aware of the offer. In a copy of a letter to the chief executive dated March 26, Stearns wrote, "I have recently given out e-cigarettes to a few members of Congress and they have become quite a hit." Sales of the devices continue at shopping mall kiosks and small storefront retailers, apparently drawing from stock imported before the FDA began to block shipments from overseas suppliers.
  23. You've got my total support Buzz! And I love my unit!!!
