  1. Meh it's not bad but it's not a great deal either. The multicharger is nice but when in all honesty you can purchase 2 510 kits for about 95 bucks which will give you 4 units total. For example our store (not to plug here) offers free E Liquid in each kit. So if you purchased from the VT store for example, you'd end up with 4 batteries, 4 atomizers, 2 bottles of e liquid, 2 chargers, 10 carts and free shipping. Other suppliers often have similar deals.
  2. Wow that's got to be some type of record Careful the filler doesn't burn up to much, you don't want to breath that in.
  3. Just curious how long does everyone use a single cartomizer for? I usually dump mine after about 3 days or whenever the center paper turns brown.
  4. Beware of electronic cigarettes; they may not be as advertised By Michael Miller Posted: July 17, 2010 Much attention has been devoted to the "go-live" date of Wisconsin's clean indoor air legislation - and rightly so. The smoke-free law, which bans smoking in all public and commercial buildings (including restaurants, taverns and nursing homes), is good for the public health of everyone who lives in and visits Wisconsin. The good news is that rates of quitting rise each year, and people who quit at any age are taking positive steps for their health and the health of those around them. The other good news is how much help is available to assist those who have made the decision to stop smoking or using smokeless tobacco. The statistics say that roughly 5% of people who quit on their own are successful but that every time you make an attempt to quit, your odds of success go up - so continuing to try is a good thing. Nicotine replacement therapies, such as patches, nicotine gum, nicotine lozenges and nicotine inhalers, increase these odds significantly. They are available by prescription and over the counter, and many health plans pay for prescriptions for such medications. But while medical organizations and public health agencies work to reduce the health burden of smoking in our communities, commercial entities still try to make their living selling tobacco products or gimmicks to replace tobacco. Targeting kids, manufacturers develop fruit-flavored smokeless tobacco products, hoping new users will try them. Electronic cigarettes have been touted as a useful option, but evidence to support their use is lacking. The Food and Drug Administration has not yet been granted authority to regulate electronic cigarettes as nicotine delivery devices, and without regulation, we have an environment in which every e-cigarette is different, the doses of nicotine vary and are unpredictable and the medium in which the nicotine is vaporized (which is most often ethylene glycol, an ingredient in antifreeze) varies from product to product. The health effects of exposure - to the user or the bystander - to the "mist" emitted from the tip of e-cigarettes is not known. These products are being marketed as less harmful than cigarettes and as a smoking-cessation aid. Because the American Medical Association was concerned about the safety and confusing marketing messages of electronic cigarettes, it adopted policy recommending that e-cigarettes be classified as a drug-delivery device and subject to FDA review. So there are options, and there is hope, for all people still addicted to tobacco, and there is the reality now that customers can visit any business and workers can take any job and not be exposed to secondhand smoke in Wisconsin. More needs to happen, however. Employers, who know how tobacco-related health problems affect their workers' health and productivity and the owners' bottom line, need to insist that health insurers address nicotine addiction as a disease and offer a full range of counseling, family therapy, medication management and other services, so that employees aren't left to pay for their own treatment out-of-pocket. All of us need to recognize that nicotine addiction is a disease, and patients deserve our compassion and encouragement to quit smoking, not our scorn if they haven't quit yet. And consumers need to remain wary of marketers trying to make a buck selling either tobacco or unproven approaches to smoking cessation. As we celebrate this significant step in Wisconsin's history, let's all thank state Sen. Fred Risser (D-Madison) and the public officials who have been his allies in this ongoing battle. We are approaching the 50th anniversary of the 1964 Surgeon General's Report on Smoking and Health, which was the pivotal event in refocusing our nation's consciousness, policies and laws regarding tobacco and health. Let's aim to make Wisconsin No. 1 on measures of success in having our citizens be smoke- and tobacco-free. http://www.jsonline.com/news/opinion/98637909.html I suggest leaving some comments. Vapor Talk Army time!
  5. Make sure when using a regular 510 charger with the ego it's the USB charger. The ego isn't thin enough to reach the threads on a regular charger.
  6. Images have been updated and should work with most resolutions now
  7. Dave makes a great point. The same rules apply to Vapor Talk as well. We cannot sell lower than Joyes suggested retail price.
  8. It was bound to happen sooner later, Fake Joye eGos. While I'm trying to get a copy of the fake to rip it apart I don't have one yet. The only thing we've narrowed down so far is the manual. The fake has an extremely poorly translated manual as well as a poorly translated charger warning. a genuine Joye eGo will have a well translated manual. The reason for this is because Janty usually creates the manuals. Once Joye releases the generic version they use Janty's manual but with the word Joye used instead. Be weary when buying eGo's, you want to make sure you have something genuine for your safety. Last thing we need are batteries blowing up. The FDA is counting on that. Shop with trusted suppliers who have been around for a while.
  9. ha ha. Anytime someone tells you a cartidge "last a carton of cigarettes" it's a red flag.
  10. Personally I wash with Dove Unscented soap. But I smell like Aqua De Gio cologne.
  11. I love using a Carto on 5V, to me it's the only way to go. 5 Volt just eats liquid to fast to direct drip, cartos have sort of solved this issue.
  12. Is that a burning ecig in your pocket or are you just hot to see me! .....ah lame I know. But really I'm glad your ok
  13. OK, Personal Messages for new members has been added. Forum link has been added to the store.
  14. There is actually a PM that is sent out, but until now, like a dumb dumb, I forgot New Members do not have access to PM's. I think I'll change that. The PM contains everything a member needs to get started. No use if they can't see it As for the forum I'll create a link. Many have asked for this back.
  15. yea I just updated that last night so it's easier to notice. I might even add an icon of some sort.
  16. now THAT'S cool. Shelf life of up to 25 years. Get your self a gun to protect your stash and your good to go! Seriously though, nice find Joe
  17. I did change that to enter this morning to make it easier to understand. But I can change it "enter the forum" no problem. I understand the need for a global forum entry button. I could always add a link in the footer? This would show a link to the forum on every page. What I could do is make a link called "still need help?" and that would lead into the forum. Pretty universal to me.
  18. Hmmm I see what your saying. I could always just remove the top three links and add a picture of the forum with a link instead. Guru will eventually be replaced with the new site. Easier to maintaine that way
  19. Yea and that's what I'm a little worried about. The whole point of the page was to make it easier for Noobies. But if it doesn't, what's the point. Any feedback to make it easier to navigate or suggestions are 100% welcome.
  20. It's nuts to think about. I'm think it might be smarter to purchase those water purification tablets. Any military here that perhaps has used them? I'm not sure 100% how they work but apparently they clean out the water to make it drinkable. I imagine those will probably last much longer than water. I would pick up the ration kits online but I'll be the first to admit, that would only last me a few days. I'm a fatty what can I say.
  21. Yea the resolution issue is a PAIN So long as everyone likes the landing page I'll keep working on it. What I'll probably have to do for the banners is limit the length of it and redo each one. It's easy to forget that not everyone has a really high resolution. When I created the banners I created them for my screen (late at night) and just forgot about that smaller resolutions. Even though I can shrink the banners down it cuts of the text. (nice lol) I'll probably create some new banners tonight or tomorrow and create them for lower resolutions. (FTJoe will be my BETA tester haha)
  22. By now, most of you have noticed that new landing area when entering the site. Now it's time for some honest feedback. like it or hate it? Keep it or drop it. Feel free to be open and honest. It's important!
