Consider this, If you want to try to quit smoking and don't think you'll be vaping long, I recommend a regular 510 kit and pcc with gradually lowering your nic levels however if you're planning to switch from smoking to vaping (with or without hopes of someday quitting altogether) I recommend an eGo/ Tornado as it has much better batt life and much better performance. There are plenty of other great kits out there but from my experience this was the way to go for me. I just noticed that a lot of people recommend the regular 510 kit, when you can get the eGo for about $30 more.... Just thought I'd throw that out there as I see a lot of people making the switch from smoking to a 510, then almost immediately looking for something that'll last longer. So again, if you're not so sure about vaping, 510. If you really want to try to make it work do yourself a favor and order the eGo. That's my advice, take it for what it's worth. All hail the eGo. It saved my life, and probably many more.

I use a blue foam plug and it's the best thing I've used by far! but I cut it to the width of the cart then cut about a quarter from the length, fill the cart with about 12 drops fold the blue foam in half, stick it in the top with the fold side out drop 2 more drops on that and enjoy! I haven't counted how many drags I get but I find myself only filling 2-3 times a (Regular) day. Never had a leak and it uses every last bit....

If Your Atty Could Talk, What Would It Say To You?
VapOrDie replied to fusiontech357's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Mine would say.... "Don't I deserve to be on a spade or Janty stick? anything but this!" -
Well depending on where you live there's always the customs issue but for me customer support is the biggest reason to buy in the U.S. You might be able to get it cheaper overseas but if there's anything wrong with it you're pretty much screwed as far as I know. Plus you're going to pay a lot more for shipping and I'm sure it's a loooong wait for an order.

Whats It Mean When You Cant Blow Threw Your Atty?
VapOrDie replied to SKEEZA's topic in Troubleshooting & Technical Issues
You could always try dry burning. Works like a charm but it's been said it'll lower the overall life of the atty. But since it's no good to you now you might want to give it a go. I've done it a few times when I get a nasty taste plaguing an atty from dry blue foam.... Just take the cart off and push the button and softly blow the vapor away, do it as many times as it takes to see a bright orange glow, re-drip and enjoy. -
I have the "510 Magnum" and overall I wish I'd got something else like a Janty stick or spade. The battery life is great but the design/quality of the product not so much.... Vapor production is good but one drop and the top plastic piece will pop off ( Happened just the other day, fixed it by squeezing it in my vice) not to mention the times it randomly comes on in your pocket without any lights coming on or any warning at all. Sigh, It's all I have for now and it does it's job and I do think it'll be a great backup but for my lifestyle I need something else as my main PV.

Food For Thought Or Fuel For The Fire
VapOrDie replied to mcquinn's topic in General Vaping Discussion
And yet I'm still vaping less than I smoked... On average I'd say I take about 5-7 puffs on my PV per nic attack and a smoke is about 13-15 puffs. So if I take 6 puffs 20 times a day rather than 14 puffs 20 times a day then I'm inhaling considerably less crap into my lungs overall even though I'm getting more nicotine. Anyway I look at it I love to vape! On a side note: Does anyone else find that the increase in nicotine helps them focus more? Or is that just me? -
Food For Thought Or Fuel For The Fire
VapOrDie replied to mcquinn's topic in General Vaping Discussion
I know that my body is taking in a lot more nic since I started vaping and I sort of did it on purpose to help with the switch. Now if I have an analog it doesn't quite cure my craving for nic. But my body feels sooooo much better without all the crap from analogs in my lungs. Honestly even if they found that vaping was somehow worse than smoking I'd still do it because I can breathe, taste and smell again. Back to the point, I don't think I vape more than I smoked but since it's a higher nicotine content compared to a smoke I'm getting more nicotine..... So how is smoking compared to vaping? Is it just from how many puffs one takes? Or is it the amount of nicotine in say a 10ml bottle of juice divided by the average amount in a pack of cigarettes? Because if that's the case than my 10ml bottle of 26mg juice lasts me about a week and (correct me if I'm wrong) A pack of Camel Wides is about 18mg that would last me a day. So then I'm vaping less nicotine overall? Which completely contradicts what I thought..... My head hurts -
Bans Currently Under Way In 4 States
VapOrDie replied to Christopher's topic in Vaping Legislation & Regulation News
Had no idea..... California will not ban PV's. I won't allow it, and neither should anyone else. -
I'm finding myself arguing with myself over stuff like this. As an "ex" smoker I found that vaping is a much better solution than gum,snus,patches blah blah blah and I wish I'd never started smoking in the first place (not that I didn't enjoy it cause I did) But the point is that I did smoke and wanted to stop and started vaping because it helped me. (NOBODY SHOULD SMOKE!! ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE UNDER THE AGE OF 18!!) People of all ages start smoking for whatever reason it doesn't matter if they're 16 or 60 it's a fact that people start.....Not everyone, but some do. Now, If one of these people decided to start a nicotine addiction wouldn't you feel better if they began vaping? Or should you really have to struggle with your health, smelly clothes, burn marks in your car/home etc. then transfer over to PV's before you're accepted as a PV user? It's kind of a double edge sword when people tell non-nicotiners (?) to not start vaping. I understand that it means it's a bad idea/why would you want to start a nicotine addiction? But if someone knows the risks and still chooses to start and are shunned by users of a better solution they'd probably start smoking because people are more accepting to smokers. It's almost as if we're saying "welcome to the forums, if you're not an ex smoker let me show you the way out" I understand that people should not start a nicotine addiction whether it be in smoking or vaping, but like I said people of all ages start smoking even though they know all the risks and problems associated with it, so if someone decides to start vaping shouldn't we in some weird way be congratulating these people on choosing the lesser of two evil's? I'm not trying to piss anyone off or anything it's just my honest opinion and I'd like to hear your thoughts on the subject because it seems like it's brought up all the time but I really can't tell where people stand on the subject. (stepping down from the podium now, would anyone like to come up and say a few words?)

Since the shipping is the real problem here how about a kind of "membership" for regular customers and you get your "juice of the month" with an order each month? Or something like a year membership for free shipping on orders.... Or how about a random juice as an option where you select the strength you want and the system selects a juice for you.... Buy 3 get 1 random free.... I love the idea of a surprise juice and trying something I wouldn't normally buy. There's lots of ways to make it work....

I have been smoking more than usual lately due to PV malfunction and lots of yard work. When I'm working on the yard I find it easier to have a smoke cause I don't have to stop to use my PV. Working with my hands a lot is still a big trigger for me, you get so used to having a cig in your mouth tilting your head with one eye closed lol But I'm happy to say that 90-95% of the time I'm vaping which is awesome.

I was just thinking about how many people have bought a 510 or other starter kit and almost immediately knew that they were going to need/want something that's going to last longer or just want to try a completely different kit and it got me thinking.... I think it would be awesome if a store would take used items in exchange for money off a new purchase and/or offered the used items to newcomers that aren't sure if vaping is going to be for them or not, at a descent price or even free with a certain amount of juice purchase or something....Just a quick thought I wanted to share, I'm sure there's some holes I don't see right off the bat but what do you guys think?

You could always do a "featured flavor of the month" at a special discount price or something.
