FYP for situational accuracy.

Im not questioning you or them really, I am only saying I have never seen that posted by anyone else here and haven't personally known anyone that takes "mouth hits" without inhaling. My wife takes a draw, inhales, takes another, inhales, takes another and inhales....holds it as long as she can and then exhales. I haven't gotten her to understand there is no advantage to doing it that way, but its her way so I leave her alone about it lol. Everyone has their own thing or way to do it, and there is no right or wrong imo. I just personally vaped the same way I smokes. Take a draw into my mouth, inhale, exhale......simple. This is also what I have told everyone I have converted and no one has had problems as long as they do not suck on it like a straw.

The problem is bolded above.

Bump when you get something in vape mail.
bcartervol98 replied to Tam's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Got 4 new flavors today, been a good while since I have tried anything new. Gonnna let them steep a week or two before trying them but they all smell great! All ECBlends all 18mg 60vg 40pg The Dr. (Dr Pepper flavor) The Dew (Mtn Dew flavor) Bahama Mama Tropical Punch I figure since my favorites are always drinks at least 1 or 2 of this quartet are bound to be keepers! -
Not sure about this. I have started literally over a dozen people that are now Vaping exclusively and every one of them wanted to suck on the thing like one would a joint (sorry mods, had to use the reference) as opposed to an analog. Once they started taking proper draws the coughing and such subsided. Take a slow steady draw into your mouth, inhale it then quickly exhale it. I have yet to know anyone that had a problem when doing it this way. Just draw on it the same as you did an analog and you should be fine. Yes there are some withdrawal symptoms from all the lethal chemicals that arent nicotine and you may have some heartburn issues if you do not properly hydrate.

"Switching from cigarettes to vaping may have added not years, but decades to your life." -My Cardiologist as he discontinued my blood pressure medicine I also can taste food, smell things (especially how nasty I used to smell it is amazing I have been able to succeed at my chosen profession stinking so badly), and no longer require sinus or anxiety medicine that I always took daily before. Keep it simple by buying a couple Vision Spinner 1300mah VV batteries and 2 Kanger Pro Tanks and a few coils. All you have to do is charge the batteries and fill the tank, change the coil as needed. Really low maintenance and probably less time consuming than all the trips to the store for a pack-carton whatever.

Bump Everytime You Buy Something New
bcartervol98 replied to blucavvy's topic in General Vaping Discussion
I don't use the ring on my Vamo but do on my spinners the small amount of time I use those but I never drop it since it's on a lanyard. If $1.50 bases are all I have hurt as many times as this thing has hit the floor I can live with that. This will be the 6th one I have had to replace since switching to KPT 2s. -
Bump Everytime You Buy Something New
bcartervol98 replied to blucavvy's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Just ordered 5 more KPT 2 bases. I have lately developed a bad habit of having my Vamo sitting on my lap and forgetting that when I stand up and it hits the floor on its side. No damage to the Vamo but I keep bending the 510 connection where it wobbles when I screw it on and it sits off center when attached. Those things bend so easily almost makes me think they are made of lead lol. -
What's Your Resolution for 2014?
bcartervol98 replied to Joshuab3687's topic in The Vape Lounge - Off Topic Chat
I don't do resolutions but I am 100% confident I will not smoke tobacco ever again. -
I have a full top plate and have no problems.

Recommend a "pocket" vaporizer?
bcartervol98 replied to Medic7158's topic in General Vaping Discussion
The 2-3% of the time I do not have my Vamo on me I have a simple Ego mini 400mah with Davide mini on top. Performs amazingly well in situations where you want to stealth vape. Just did it all holiday at the in laws lol. -
What do you daily drive?

We have a 2012 GMC Yukon Denali as our family vehicle and I just traded my 2013 GMC Sierra for a 2014 GMC Terrain about 3 weeks ago. I am a GM guy through and through but had a moment of weakness and bought a 1998 BMW M3 that I enjoyed at the time but have outgrown the sportscar thing and comfort is the thing now lol. -

Car buying or Car Business Questions
bcartervol98 replied to bcartervol98's topic in The Vape Lounge - Off Topic Chat
I can count on one hand the number of requests I have had for a manual transmission in a full size truck in the last year, it's just a complete lack of sufficient demand to justify production. Off lease vehicles are in reality no different than any other pre-owned vehicle that is a one owner. "Off Lease, Program Cars, Factory Demo, etc..." are all terms to build value and be able to get a little more for them. Imo in the long run I would rather have a one owner pre-ownedvehicle that was owned instead of leased. People tend to follow maintenance schedules more closely when they buy since a lease customer will be turning the car back in and doesn't have to worry about long term reliability. I know I go above and beyond to take care of my wife's Denali we bought but my Terrain I lease, I do bare minimum maintenance required to keep the warranty active. -
Same here, hope everyone has a safe and happy Christmas and a great New Year!

Car buying or Car Business Questions
bcartervol98 posted a topic in The Vape Lounge - Off Topic Chat
As someone who has run Auto Dealerships for near 20 years I would like to just throw it out there that if you have any questions or have been wondering anything about how the business works, I will give you a honest answer you will most likely not get elsewhere. Just tossing that out there if anyone is shopping for a car or anything, I can help save you money lol. This would especially apply to GM models since I have access to every invoice of every new GM vehicle in the US. -
No all that is is a lead generator. There is no one that can "tell" a dealership what they can charge unless you are a retired or current GM Employee or Supplier. All the rest we set the price and just try to be the lowest in our market. Usually all the dealers in any market have a silent agreement as to how low we will sell certain models.

Laws about stores making there own flavors?

Hogwash -
Even at 50% savings and still have the ability to go to a retail establishment and drive, look, and check it out before ordering it? Like going to a B&M to try something then ordering it online? I think more would do it than you think. That's why B&Ms with limited or no online presence are actively lobbying for a ban of online sales in many cases.

I tried a few of these and am pleasantly surprised! All 65vg 35pg 18mg in Davide Mini (my tasting tanks) atop Vamo 1.8ohm @ 7.5w. I steeped them all for 7 days before trying lid off, shake each day. Vapor production in all is phenomenal, throat hit is minimal (by design), and flavors are all true to form. Mint Medley: May need to steep more, I am a mint person regularly vaping mints and there is a taste there I am not used to in my mints. Maybe wintergreen? Not sure about this one. Just too much going on. Killer Clove: Almost an exact duplicate of what I remember a clove cig tasting like. Not too much clove either, I really like this flavor. Its one I grab when I need a change of pace from my regular rotation. Kind of a nice palate cleansing flavor. Apple Cider: Best Apple flavor I have tried, even though I have only tried a couple. There is a spice to it I like very much. I can imagine the Apple Cider and Killer Clove being mixed together and resulting in a great hybrid flavor Buttered Popcorn: As always the one I thought I would like the least I like the most. This flavor, while not one I could vape all day, is amazingly accurate from the smell to the taste. I cranked this one up to almost 8.5watts and the flavor jumps out of the tank. Of the 4 I tried so far I can say Buttered Popcorn, Killer Clove, and Apple Cider are flavors I might put into my rotation. Mint Medley not so much, too much going on there for me. I like Spearmint a lot, I like peppermint a lot, but wintergreen reminds me of my employees skoal breath. The biggest thing I can say is in the sampler I got, the only one I would have "ordered" based on name and description would have been Mint Medley, and it is the one I liked the least lol. The three I tried that I liked are flavors I might never have ordered but am glad I tried. Made me realize that I should continue to try new things. Just typing about the Buttered Popcorn makes me wish I had brought that tank to work today. It will be popped on when I get home!

HELP BBCMega bottom stuck !
bcartervol98 replied to demonofcows's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Mini or Full Size? Minis are what I am talking about. I never had a full size and mainly use KPT 2s now so may not. I liked everything about the minis except the way you have to fill them through the little holes and the base is completely smooth making it hard to unscrew. -

I have 2 cats, 3 snakes, and 16 hermit crabs lol. Well they are mostly my sons, which means I takes care of them all!

From a car dealership perspective, that's why we like people without computers lol. Also why I do not bother with B&M stores. An online market will cause products to be priced what the market can bear and a B&M market will do the same. Now imagine there are thousands of Vape Shops all inside one shopping complex. Would the pricing be the same? If people could just order their cars online and have them delivered to their home for 50% of the price, they would largely do so even with the risk of not knowing how it works, drives, or feels because we are becoming increasingly a value oriented society that no longer sees the value of personal service. I am as guilty as the next person, but in reality, its just an evolution of an economy.

Until someone has over 100 posts, I rarely pay attention to their posts especially those that are obvious shill accounts to promote a site or business.
