#26 finally proved to me that Chris lives in SoCal... all the packages received from SoCal didn't do it, the fact that he says he's from SoCal didn't do it, but #26 is something everyone in SoCal is familiar with either from hating it (and the wimps that let those damn BMWs cut, and make no mistake, its almost always a BMW) or practicing it (may their seed be banished from the Earth).

Apparently the second generation isn't available yet, so I just went ahead and ordered a couple more of the first generation ones at the discounted price. Eventually, I'll get a second generation to see what the differences are and I'll post a review when I do.

Hey guys, so I'm looking at getting a new ego-T tank atomizer and I was looking at IndyVaporShop (pretty much the only other site I use for supplies aside from VT store). Well, when I was looking I noticed that they had a first and second generation of ego-T tank attys. I was wondering if anyone knew the difference. It looks like both of them will work with any Ego battery (I use passthroughs). I got a first generation t-tank through Indy and I loved it, but it did seem to burn out a little quicker than the average atty (although it could be because I loved it so much it became my primary atty), so I'm thinking maybe the QC on this generation is better. But I'm really just trying to find out if anyone has tried this second generation and concluded anything about it relative to the first. Thanks.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the advise and help on this. I tried the ten click trick last night and it wasn't working at all. But then this morning it started working again properly, so I'm stoked. Its amazing the difference between this eGo and my backup standard 510's. Love having my eGo back.

Although I'm hoping its not beyond repair, maybe you guys can help. So this thing was working wonders, to the point that I was damn near turning into a salesman for it (and the VaporTalk Store). Well, Sunday morning, my computer was off and I didn't want to start it back up. But the eGo PT needed a charge in advance of the SB party I was attending. Now, I never ordered the eGo starter kit, so the only wall charger I had was the standard 510 (I don't know what the power those things kick out is, but I imagine less than an eGo wallcharger). So I plugged the USB into the 510 Wall Charger USB slot. Ever since, my eGo PT has been having some issues. The thing won't turn on half the time, and now when it does, it won't turn off about half the time unless I unscrew my atty. And then there are times where it mysteriously turns on by itself. The switch doesn't feel stuck at all, so I really don't think that's the issue. I'm in the process of trying to use up all the juice in it and recharge from dead using only my computer (btw, I would also sometimes use my PS3 USB input for charging it, but it never had any issues. These didn't happen till I used the 510 walladapter). Any other tips/recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I'm still convinced this unit is the gold standard in PV tech (and when it does hit, it is unrivaled). I just wanna fix it, eventhough I plan on ordering a few extras to keep in the bullpen anyway.

After you clean the atomizer, it'll "hit dry" (namely taste like you didnt add any liquid to it) for up to 10 drags usually.

Seriously guys, we can do much better (and more contemporary relevence!) in terms of celebrity spokespeople...

I'm in the Thousand Oaks area, and no, the ring is not mine. Although if I ever find a Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl ring available at a pawn shop, I am buying it no matter what I have to do or pay in order to get my hands on it. As for vaping in the casinos, I know its permitted, but I will readily admit to on occassion having an analog (and I'm still an cigar smoker about once a week). The greatest thing about vaping is that it has allowed me to have the relationship with cigarettes that I have always been jealous of others for having, the ability to smoke socially or when out drinking without craving a cig the next morning. I'm generally a believer in the whole "all things in moderation" line of thinking. The problem with cigarettes is that it quickly escalated well beyond moderation and by the time I started vaping, I looked back and realized I had been a full fledged pack a day smoker half my life (and I was under 30 so I couldn't afford to keep going). I had tried everything up to that point except the vaping. Needless to say, I recognize that the occassional analog and the cigars aren't doing myself any favors, but I know that there is never a point where I feel I need an analog and that is comfort enough for me.

I quit smoking almost a year ago using the standard 510, but just recently got an eGo and will never go back to the standard 510. One thing to keep in mind here is to be patient with it and don't worry if you do break down from time to time and smoke a real cigarette. The great thing about the vapor alternative is that its not like quitting using other methods (and believe me, from gum to patches to cold turkey, I've tried it all) where after one break down you feel like you're starting all over again. In fact, over the summer I went to Vegas and essentially turned back into a smoker for the weekend, and when I got back home I went right back to vaping, didn't smoke another cigarette, and didn't even think about cigarettes other than the massive pain in my lungs from smoking for a weekend.

I keep hearing the most flattering reviews of Boba's Bounty so I went ahead and ordered it along with their Butter Rum (a friend of mine that I introduced to PVs swears by butter rum). Looking forward to receiving it. Also got some orders in with Ms. T's for snickerdoodle, smores, peanut butter cup, and maple bar (on a diet so this way I can get my sweets craving without all the calories haha).

As far as flavors are concerned, when I first started vaping I was quitting smoking and found I preferred the tobacco-like flavors as a means of replacing the smoking feel as much as possible. But gradually my tastes expanded into other flavors. Starting out, I'd recommend the VT tobacco juice (or any other tobacco juice for that matter) and VT's Dulcis, and if you were ever a menthol smoker, there is no better menthol juice than VT's Mentha.

It's all just a part of the scam. The government only wants to make it look like they have any genuine interest in the safety of smokers, that way people will believe that they do what they do because they actually want to reduce the number of smokers. The truth is smokers and cigarettes are cash cow for governments at all levels, and the money that they're allegedly supposed to be using for smoking cessation efforts is rarely committed to such. In some jurisdictions (NY, I'm looking at you), governments make 1000% more off the sale of a pack of cigarettes than the actual tobacco company selling the product (average profit per sale of pack of cigs - $0.30, government taxes on pack of cigs in NYC - ~$3.00). And at a time when states are overwhelmingly in debt because of their inabilities to constrain their spending during the good times, they just hike these taxes even further while hoping (without saying it) that people continue to smoke. And if you wanna know why they're making serious efforts at some levels to get in the way of our PVs, follow the money. Vapor could cause significant portions of their money to go, well, up in smoke.

I'm thinking it might be sun exposure, I just poured some into a recently finished VT Exotic Tobacco and its got a darker sort of reddish-brown color to it than I wouldve expected, kinda similar to the very last bit of another tobacco vape I had a while back that darkened and got discolored when I left it on a sunny part of my car once. I'll have to give them another chance.

I recently got a batch of halo Freedom juice, and I have not been impressed. It has a really bizarre taste to me, almost mediciney for a lack of a better word. I'm wondering if I maybe just got a bad batch or something. It just leaves this really strange aftertaste. I don't know, maybe I just need to adjust and maybe I'm just spoiled from all the VT Dulcis and Exotic Tobacco (tobacco flavors are still my favorite), but it just has a strange quality to it that is unlike anything I've vaped. The bottle mine came in smells like rubber cement. I'm wondering if I should put some into a different bottle and let it sit for awhile. Any thoughts?

Dulcis 16 is one of my favorite vaps. It was so good that I just placed an order for a few other VT juices because I was so impressed w Duclis. I ordered a Dulcis 24 this time around because I like as good a throat hit as I can get, but Dulcis is hands down the best vap I've yet experienced.
