Even a cheap 5 volt PT is a good starter. Just make sure to get a direct PT and not one with a battery. (The PT's with the batteries run at 3.7)

The thing to remeber with LR atomizers is that they MUST stay moist all the time. Make sure you drip on that bad boy like crazy. They usally last quite a long time. I've had users report 2 months on a LR atty. (Which is crazy) So if you take care of the little guy, it will take care of you

The more important thing is the model of the cartomizer. Color doesn't matter it's just a cover. The 2 popular cartomizers are 808 and 510. They both work well

We could, but vapers are not willing to pay the extra cost yet. (While some SAY they will, most will still buy the chinese liquid)

I agree. But I don't think this will be via prescription (although I'm only guessing here) It will probably over the counter much like Nicorette is. From a market stand point that would make the most sense.

Yes that definitely seems what the company is going for. Especially with the test trials. My guess is they're going to market this as an NRT product rather than a casual product.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. Alexza Pharmaceuticals Inc. said Thursday it licensed its Staccato nicotine technology aimed at smoking cessation to Cypress Bioscience Inc. for $5 million upfront, plus future payments. The Staccato nicotine technology is an electronic smoking device that delivers nicotine through inhalation. It delivers nicotine by mimicking a cigarette without the health consequences of smoking cigarettes. Under the deal, Cypress will pay $5 million upfront plus a technology transfer fee of $1 million when certain milestones are met. Also Alexza will have a carried interest of 10 percent on the net proceeds of any sale or license by Cypress of the Staccato nicotine assets. Cypress, based in San Diego, will be responsible for preclinical, clinical and regulatory aspects of the system's development, along with commercialization. It expects to start early-stage trials of the technology in late 2011. Shares of Alexza rose 2 cents to $2.81 and shares of Cypress fell 14 cents to $3.58 in morning trading. http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D9HR7JPG3.htm

Interesting. Doesn't surprise me though, PG is many products. Most Icecream products contain PG. It's at this point you realize the FDA is full of it

Everybody loves O Chat is never the same when she's gone.

Hard to say what will happen really. As suppliers we will always do everything in our power to try and bring electronic cigarettes to the community but that doesn't mean it will last forever. Depends on how hard the FDA really cracks down. With big tobacco in their pockets these days, my guess is they are going to crack the whip hard. I know we're pretty stressed about the case due up Sep 28th of this month. Let's hope for the best.

Yes that is possible.

Some more incite into the lawsuit with the FDA. (Which by the way the appeal case comes up again the 28th of this month. It could change everything) http://blogs.browardpalmbeach.com/juice/2010/08/e-cigarettes_smoking_everywhere_florida_ag.php

Nero explained it pretty well. There is no chart per say but there is a cheat. Usually, the larger the number the larger the model. The smaller the number the smaller the model. EDIT: Just to add why suppliers use model numbers by the way. Way back when suppliers used to come up with their own names (some still do) but customers didn't like the fact that one supplier would say "Cool model" was better than "super cool model" when both models where a 510 for example. Hence the reason suppliers now use model numbers. Since then a plethora of new units have been released. It gets harder and harder to keep up with everything. For the most part the 510 has become the standard. Thus the reason why many new models use the 510 fitting. Just makes things easier.

That doesn't sound good at all. What batteries where you charing in the charger? Remember eGo batteries need to use their own charger. I've never heard of a charger doing this but I'd ditch that thing real quick.

Hmm in that case I'm not sure. Let's hope Vaprlife contacts you and is able to replace the unit.

Dude skill...

It might be the center poll. There is a "circle within a circle" on the unit. If you look where your atomizer connects make sure the center poll is flush with the outside fitting. If not use a paper clip through the hole to raise it up gently. (If you atomizer doesn't make contact with that center pole the light will turn on but the atomizer will not receive power)

As brain said that model looks to be an M series. (If so, trust me, the Joye 510 is much better) I think you'll be happy with your cartomizers. Just make sure you know how to fill them correctly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeaqRV4PmzA

lol Sorry I'm in Noobie Mode

Are you making sure not to use LR atomizers on your 5 volt units? This will kill the unit.

Cartomizers are the only way to go. The 808 is a pretty good kit but I personally use the 510 cartomizers. I have not noticed a drop in flavor. In fact the liquid tends to taste "fresher" as you don't really have to worry about the gunk build up.

You should always be worried about lead in any product. This is the reason I posted a link to the lead testers. They are dirt cheap at 35 bucks. Did the Youtube user state where he purchased the lead tips from?

Very true. It's unfortunate that the electronic cigarettes advertised on TV are such crap. Most of the time it's some fly by night investment company who has no idea what they are selling. I wished they'd send us an email before buying from China. Even crappy research was suggest that the Joye 510 is a great working model. In all honesty though, if the TV companies did it right they would start new users out on Cartomizer models. No mess, No Fuss.

Aww your going to make me blush, thanks!
