VapOrDie

CML/Desert Ship from ENS...It's the only thing I vape. Love it.

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....

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

I can't believe this guy.... I've left my $.02 on the comments and even flagged it. We know he's not going to remove it but hopefully someone does.

LOL thanks for all the input everyone, this was kind of one of those "I'm pretty sure I already know the answer but..." questions. Had to ask, now I know. Thanks again but have "we" figured out if this liquid is water? Or is it just left over PG/VG? anyone feel like chiming in on that one?

OK, so first off let me say that I'm an odd individual and I'm not trying to freak anyone out or anything, I just get weird ideas in my head....Now a short little story on where this idea came from, humor me. I've always had this weird habit that whenever I drink and smoke vape and there happens to be an empty glass in front of me that I'll take a drag but not inhale and slowly blow the smoke vapor into the glass and watch it sit in there (we all have are WTF am I doing this for..... rituals?.... I guess you could call it, anyway....) I did this tonight a few times and would let the vapor sit in the glass as I went about my business and it would eventually disappear but then I noticed something, water. Or something that looked like water building up inside the glass like the condensation on the outside of a glass just on the brink of grouping up enough liquid for a few drops to slide down.... So I started thinking about all the stealth vapors out there, me included, that will hold in the vapor until there's almost none left and it got me thinking....Is this "water" building up in my lungs? Don't you drown if water gets in your lungs? I know that's a very extreme thing to say and I use it as a very extreme worse case scenario but has anyone else thought about it? Or have I just had tee many martooni's? I would like someone else to try this little experiment of letting vapor sit in a glass until it dissipates a few times to see, what I'm talking about/ how much "water" there is... Maybe it builds up or maybe it doesn't. Maybe it just gets absorbed by our bodies and disappears. Is this observation going to keep me from vaping? No. Am I working for a certain 3 letter E-cig hating conspirator? No. Am I a scientist? No, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night so I just thought I'd bring it up to my fellow vapors and get your opinions on the subject. Can't wait to hear from you guys about this, unless someone is going to tell me to shut up, don't talk about it and then make this thread disappear. lol

But "Big Tobbaco" wants us to buy their new "Snus" if we want nicotine where smoking is prohibited. Vaping is just in their way of a bigger bottom line.... Plain and simple.

I think Modding is the real addiction.... So many different crazy ideas, everything I look at is being taken apart in my head and put back together with an LED, momentary switch and a few extra wires somewhere in there With nicotine at a very close second.... Collecting PV's and E-Juice takes home the Bronze. But maybe it's just me

Normally I would agree but I've heard with my own ears a non smoker saying she might start vaping because she wanted to try the different flavors. Of course I told her don't do it but she kept asking about it and I told her to get some pg or vg and some flavorings from walmart IF she was really going to start. Vaping doesn't have to be a nicotine addiction, It's more like hookah than anologs it's just our choice to get it with much much more nicotine. I know hookah smokers that aren't analog smokers and since there isn't much nicotine at all in hookah it doesn't become an addiction, just something to do that tastes good.... It's always good to be on the look out but I can tell you that there are people who decide to do things for no reason, why'd we all start smoking in the first place? And now it's much safer, doesn't stink, not as expensive (in the long run) and there's a lot of really good flavors.... I hate to say it but the more we try to go mainstream and try to convert analog smokers the more non smokers and kids are going to be looking into it as well. quite a few people have some pretty big collections of PV's atty's juices extra batts and whatnot, it would be a lot easier for a kid to swipe a batt, atty and small bottle of E-juice than a smoke out of a pack every now and then.... I guess I'm just trying to say that people start smoking everyday for whatever reason even though all the dangers are out there about smoking, and we're offering current smokers a healthier cheaper cleaner alternative so if someone was going to start smoking and heard our pitch (meant to convert analog smokers) I wouldn't be surprised if they went with Vaping. I know I would have....

Thanks for the kind words everyone, I got two new toys at the same time so I'm kinda bouncing back and fourth between my phone and magnum but I'm sure it won't be too long before I focus on one and can give some info like batt life. I have another one of these phones around here somewhere I'll be searching for to make a V2 cause this one was made from random parts in my garage lol madvapes here i come....

Alright well I've been working on this for a few days now, closer to a week actually and I'm pleased to announce that I have successfully made the first (as far as I know anyway) Cell Phone Personal Vaporizer! Check out the video! http://www.youtube.c...h?v=umbnT2gAmw0

For me Cigs were like gas, I need it, gotta have it and it doesn't matter how much it costs I'm going to buy it. But since I can't go to the liquor store and pick up some Dulcis and a new mod (Yet anyway ) and I know I'm going to be waiting at least 2 days for whatever I buy I'm going to take my time and find a good deal. But If it were sold around the corner at double the price of online It's where I'd still go. Price of convenience, plain and simple. But if you know you're going to be waiting for it anyway, you might as well shop around and save some cash.

Lucky strike and B&H from ElectroNixSticks so far are my favs.... 555's not bad either,but whenever I use it I can't get the heretic anthem out of my head lol
