Wait.....are you saying this is fake?!?!

Here's the pics I promised.

I still havent seen any tangible proof of this...

Not starting a debate, i just would rather have proof before accepting a statement as fact. I will definately unwrap one of my efests when it is done myself and put rest to this debate.. for myself anyway!

Again by the time you are old enough to vape if you had a PG allergy you would know it already. I think PG allergy is kind of like ADHD....way too quickly diagnosed.

Anytime I see this I ask how much fluids have you taken in? You are most likely dehydrated if you haven't upped your "good fluid" intake. I had sore throat, heartburn, and many other side effects at first and all were solved by drinking more water.

Water? Not sure I would ask any more questions to that person lol.It is most likely 60% Propylene Glycol and 40% Vegetable Glycerine. I see allergy posts all the time, but PG allergies are relatively rare. If you have ever used lotion, shampoo, kissed a girl with lipstick on, used soap or a body wash, then you have already come in contact with PG. If you have ever eaten marshmallows, candy, flavored water, cheeses, puddings, yogurts or about any processed foods you have had Vegetable Glycerine. Ever had a reaction to any of those?

I am not a medical professional by any means, but allergies to ingredients in e-liquid are extremely rare. If you havent been prone to allergies in the past, then this most likely is not an allergy. It could be from your body detoxing from the analogs since there are tons of chemicals and carcinogens your body is no longer ingesting. I dont know what it is, but highly doubtful it is an allergy to the vaping unless you have some shady liquid.

Looks like a good eCig to me! Congrats on finding one that works for you!

If it is blinking, it sounds like you're hitting the cut-off. Generally, eGo batteries have anywhere from an 8 second to 10 second cut-off. As far as drawing into the mouth or directly into the lungs, it shouldn't make a difference to the battery.

My current menagerie of eCigs. My fav, right now, is the CE4 clearomizer on the SmokeTek 1100mah VV battery with NW Vapors "Gummy Peach."

Hi everyone, hope everyone's vapping well. Well it started 30 years ago behind my buddy's dad's shop. When my buddy came up to me and opened his hand and said, "you want to go smoke it" at first I said no but did it anyway. So started my 30 year love hate relationship with cigarettes. I really never felt any effects from smoking until I hit my 40's,I'm a lead singer in a band The Troubadours it got to the point I felt like I was going to pass out on the stage during the first few songs of a gig. I couldn't even walk to the mail box without being out of breath. Smoking was effecting every part of my life one of the most important things it was effecting was sex I didn't have the energy to. I'd be out of breath before it got started. I knew I had to quit but couldn't fine anything that could help me quit smoking. I tried everything from patches to the pill even the e cigs you buy at the stop and go store nothing worked. Even after watching friends and Family members take their last breath in the Hospital from the damage that smoking did to them. I remember leaving the hospital after my father-in-law died from complications brought on by smoking. My wife and I were walking to our car and the first thing we did was light a cigarette. I looked at her and said, "What the hell are we doing we have to quit" and she said," yes I don't want our kids to have to go through what we just had to". So a year went by still smoking. Then one night about 3 months ago around 2 in the morning I had to wake my wife and 3 kids 12,10,and 5 up to take me to the hospital cause I couldn't breath after test were run the doc came in and said everything looks ok but, and I thought I hate when a doctor says but anyway she said after looking at the x-rays and listen to your lungs your lungs sound like a 70 year old man and if you don't quit smoking you'll probably be dead by the time your 60. I've heard the doctors quit smoking routine for years but this time it hit me like a ton of bricks. We left the hospital and the next Friday I started vapping I have not touched or wanted a cigarette since. It is incredible how better I feel the first week I notice my voice was getting stronger the first gig we played I didn't feel like I was going to pass out on stage and now after a 9 weeks of vapping mom and daddy time is so much better actually everything is getting better praise GOD food taste better i've got a ton of energy I can smell better I'm not waking in the morning hacking my lungs up. vapping may or may not be a totally healthy thing to do but it's a 1000 times better then what I was doing before I found vapping. My wife and I are now in the process of opening a vape store here where we live in NC so we can spread the vape. Happy vapping everyone.

congratulations on quitting and welcome to vt. hey just an idea but i wonder if you hung a plaque or something in your soon to be store about you quitting if other people would read it and try vaping instead of dismissing it like most smoker's do, like i did until i tried a ego kit. my counter down below says the rest.

I generally vape anywhere from 3.2ml on a light day (like today) to 6.4ml on a heavy day. Generally I'm right about 4.8ml, though. Having said that, I can go through my eGo 900mah battery in a day pretty easily. The same is fairly true on my 1100mah Smoketech Winder VV battery. The difference though is that I usually set the voltage for 3.6v to 4.2v depending on what I'm vaping (3.6v to 3.8v for fruity flavors, 3.8v to 4.2v for tobacco or menthol flavors). At 4.2v, that 1100mah battery will be dead in 3.2ml almost exactly (two CE5 tanks), which can be a little discouraging but the variable voltage makes up for it and I always have my 900mah standing by and ready.

I had the exact same experience this week when I had to go to the doctor for back problems. All three doctors I talked to congratulated me on quitting analogs and said that eCigs were much better for you.

Yes, you are right about the taste difference.

I started my vaping, today, with one of the sample bottles. That USA Tobacco sample bottle was 18mg nicotine. The larger bottle, of the same flavor (purchased separately from the kit), contained 24mg of nic. I had, initially, assumed that they were both the strength. After this first filling is through, I will start on the larger bottle. Starting at the strongest, and working myself down, is (I feel) the way to go to wean myself off of nicotine completely.

Hi, Synther.

My double-unit kit came with a sample pack of favors. There are eight, 3.7ml bottles, and the favors are as follows: Cool Mint, Tropical Breeze, Coffee & Cream, Mandarin Mango, Cherry Slush, Berry Pomegrante, Vanilla Cupcake and USA Tobacco.

I smoked my last cigarette, a little earlier in the day, and then went about filling my eGo Twist. I powered it on, gave it one pull, and powered it back down. I just wanted to see that it WAS a functioning unit. I have to say that I was quite impressed. The flavor was a bit different from what I have been used to, from analogs, but that was to be expected. I got a good hit, but there was an aftertaste left in my mouth, which wasn't too bad, but something else that I will have to get used to. The flavor that I tried was the USA Tobacco one, due to thinking that it would be the closest to what I had already been inhaling. I had also bought a larger bottle of the USA Tobacco flavor, but will eventually get around to trying all of the flavors out. However, no complaints. I know that change requires transitioning, and that is a passage which can (in THIS situation) more easily be traveled when focus is kept on the extreme benefits to be realized.

I wouldn't be that concerned about vaping around anyone, kids included. Unless you live on a space station with canned air, there are much more damaging pollutants in the air than what you exhale while vaping (much worse, in fact, than even second hand smoke from analogs). I knew a girl (vegan.../facepalm) that would go into fits of rage because someone would be smoking in their car while she was waiting in a drive-thru. I told her, "you have your window down and there are two cars in front of you, with another three cars behind you. All those cars, including yours, are spewing out deadly toxins as you sit here with your window down waiting in a McDonalds drive-thru to order a fast food salad that you have deemed healthy. And you want to complain about the guy in the car ahead of you sitting by himself smoking in the car with his window down. ReAlLy?"

From what I seen on their site its a good product, wish I could be of more help.

From my understanding vape dudes has good customer service, may want to contact them and see what happens.

"True Tobacco" from NW Vapors is pretty good. But yes, it's very hard to mimic an analog cigarette that isn't menthol.

Pickled Ginger is a great palette cleanser too. This is why you find a small dish of it at all the Sushi restaurants. It is meant to eat a piece of pickled ginger between different sushi rolls.

I checked my self into the Emergency Room today. While I was there I asked the attending doctor on his thoughts about e cigarettes. To my surprise he said it its much better than analogs, does not show to cause any cancer but the best thing its to not smoke at all. Congratulated me on giving up analogs and asked how long I have vaped.

The truly unfortunate thing is that in the current society we live in, vaping and educating the public will do nothing to curb bans or limitations. The people that are voted into power tend to go completely against what their constituants want and will create these bans and limitations in some inane effort to protect us from ourselves. But it is nice to have a more educated general public and to get less bizarre stares and questions. Generally, in the Portland area, people are fairly used to eCigs since you can buy them just about everywhere.

I smoked menthol cigarettes for a very long time. I found that these two are pretty good.

Thanks for the feedback and advice. I'm going crazy waiting for this thing. I'm hoping it ships tomorrow so I will have it by the weekend.

I agree with this. Sounds like you need to go to a set up where you can customize your juice mixture. You may have sensitivity to pg. You can use a juice with a higher vg content but keep the nicotine up and that may work for you.

I ordered the starter kit off Vape dudes today! I'm super excited to start vaping .

Vg generally gives you more vapor, pg is usually more throat hit and nicotine level impacts throat hit marginally. Example I have some 50/50 mixes that should be smoother than some of my 70/30 pg/vg mixes but the 50/50 mix has a higher nicotine content so it still packs more throat hit.alot of 70/30 mixes I have produce just as much vapor as my 50/50 mixes. But the pro tank produces tons of vapor compared to any clearo I have used regardless of the pg content. It just comes down to trial and error on what you like. I agree with bcarter start with 24mg nicotine. I smoked almost 2 packs a day of newports menthol and the 16-18 mg left me feeling like I was missing something. Now I'm down to around 12mg but occasionally I still grab some 24mg juice. I do own a 1300mah battery and usually it lasts me around 3 days before it needs charging. My 650mah only goes for around 24 hrs but its variable voltage and I use it above 4 volts. You are doing the right thing by asking questions. 1 thing I guarantee once you start vaping you won't look back at stinkies and remember happy vaping
