Good to hear, glad it all worked out!
-
Haha, you guys are funny! Obviously wiped them clean out, that's awesome! LoL!

I love the sweeter, sometimes nutty stuff, like 555-RY4, sounds like that stuff fits right into my fav category! Thanks for the review, sounds good!
-
Excellent review, Burn! I appreciate the time and effort you put into it. It's nice to see the price reduction on the Joker, as well as the quality workmanship. Seems like a pretty good unit!

This is great news, I know you have been on the hunt for quite a while! I think I may have to take back what I told the wife, "Ok, I won't spend any money this week on Vaping stuff" LoL How did the shipping go? Well, wait time and cost...?

Do You Still Buy A Pack Of Analogs Now And Then?
Bigjim replied to YayForBeer's topic in General Vaping Discussion
That sounds like a plan to me Nana! I love vaping and do not want to quit, at all! Lol! I just need to change my perspective a bit and work more on weening out the nicotine. -
Wha...?

Do You Still Buy A Pack Of Analogs Now And Then?
Bigjim replied to YayForBeer's topic in General Vaping Discussion
I actually thought I would never have another smoke again. The smell is kinda gross, it just tastes bad to me now, and I'm always giving the wifey a hard time about her smoking. Then my atty's pooped out. My nicotine cravings were intense, and I had to smoke until I got my new atty in the mail. Good idea Nana, stocking up the attys. I'm thinking instead of blowing a bunch of money buying my B-day PV, I might have to just dump it into spare attyy's. I think the only way to truly kick the smoking, would be to kick vaping as well. We're simulating smoking cigarettes in the closest possible way to the real thing. We're keeping the habits of hand-to-mouth and the throat hit sensation, as well as keeping the addiction to nicotine. I also noticed that it's getting harder to satisfy my cravings with vaping. Regular atty's don't even cut it anymore on my eGo. I'd almost rather smoke a cigarette, and get a quick fix, than suck on a reg atty all day trying to get the cure. If I'm not using a LR atty on the eGo, it just doesn't seem to satisfy the addiction anymore. I would be sucking on that thing, constantly, all day long. I think I'm going to start focusing on, at least, cutting out the nicotine, little by little, because if I don't change anything and this atty poops out too, it's back to smoking for me. Sorry for the long reply, I was kinda having a revelation as I was typing, LoL! -
Good to hear! I must give credit as well. I was all worried about receiving PG juice instead of VG (due to miss-labeling). Not a big deal, but my acid-reflux won't let me do PG, it hurts too bad. Anyway, they called me twice and emailed a few times as well, to make sure everything was all good. They're even tossing in a complimentary bottle on my next order! You're right Uma, above and beyond. It is a breath of fresh air! GoGo WordUp!

What Flavor Are You Vaping Right Now?
Bigjim replied to kitsune's topic in General Vaping Discussion
LoL, I just did that as well, I'm vapin' on a blend of "Jeff's Special Mix"/"Marlboro"/"555"/"Jiffy" It's not too bad, LoL And to Ofortuna, that sounds very very good! I would LOVE to try something like that! Im gonna bookmark their site! -
Hey Burn, thx for posting this. I tried just about everything else under the sun, why not try it...? LoL, thx again!
-
I only used carts for a very short time before going all direct-drip. I seem to blow through attys like crazy. I have no idea if it's related or not, but I only get a couple of weeks out of an atty it seems. Most of them still work, but the flavor and vapor amount is so poor that I need to just replace it. I would imagine that dripping would gunk up more easily on the coil, just because of the amount of juice that would coat the coil per drop...? I don't know, I'm just wasting time I suppose, no real info from me, sorry! LoL!

I just posted this in a different thread, then read this one. I just copy/past it here as well, seeing the topic is WordUp review. I just received my package from Word-Up. I ordered it on Wednesday, got it Monday. Free shipping, so I can't complain about the (not too bad) wait. I had to give him a call because I ordered a VG juice sampler and the package was labeled PG. He assured me it was just a miss-print and that the RY4 and 555 have a thinner consistency to begin with, so they will seem like PG. Well, the other flavors have the consistency of VG, I guess, but my acid-reflux is all worked up again (why I stopped vaping PG in the first place). Maybe the reflux flair is from the crappy food I ate over the weekend, maybe, but not having the piece of mind really sucks.

I finally recieved my new LR atty today, thank God! (analogs were killin' me during the wait) I just blow out the goo and take a few dry puffs (don't taste it though) Then, drip like 4 drops of yumm and take another few-to-five hits (still not trying to taste it). Then few more drops of yumm and I'm pretty much good to go!

I know nic level will dramatically change your TH as well. I vape at 16-18mg nic; it seems to cure my cravings just right. On my eGo (3.7 volt) it wasn't giving the TH I was used to with analogs, but my nic-fit was subdued. I tried a LR atty and WoW, there it is... perfection! I feel a 3.7v unit needs a LR atty to best simulate a real cigarette. I highly recommend an eGo with a LR atty and direct dripping. You won't be sorry!

My First Drip Tip & Liquids Arrived Today
Bigjim replied to twilightbloom's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Hey Kelly, welcome to Direct Drippin'! I think it's the only way to go. I would definitely ask before vaping anywhere that smoking isn't permitted. Any negative attention, involving vaping, should be avoided if possible. It's such a new thing, everyone (around here anyway) is trying to toss it into the "smoking" wagon before learning anything about it, and trying to shut it all down. Especially the jealous smokers that have to go elsewhere! LoL! -
Haha, dude, you crack me up! I can relate though! LoL!
-
Yep!
-
Great choice with the eGo! They're truly best with LR atty's in my opinion, and now I hear there's LR carto's out there too. I would highly recommend trying something LR with your order to feel out the difference.

Do You Still Buy A Pack Of Analogs Now And Then?
Bigjim replied to YayForBeer's topic in General Vaping Discussion
I have been using a big mix of stuff. I won a PIF a month or so back, and am still using up those juices. There's all sorts of PG, VG and different nic levels. I also mixed a batch or two of VG based tobacco flavors, just small amounts. I know you're supposed to keep separate atty's for different juices, but I can't afford to do that. I'm assuming it's the mix of different juices that gunk them up and/or burn 'em out sooo fast? -
Do You Still Buy A Pack Of Analogs Now And Then?
Bigjim replied to YayForBeer's topic in General Vaping Discussion
My wife still smokes, rolls her own. I don't like analogs anymore, at all, (after 20+ yrs) but I love vaping. I really don't plan to stop vaping anytime soon. I like the aroma, the "act" of smoking, the nicotine fix, the flavors, bla bla bla... Unfortunately, now and then I find myself bumbing a smoke from her. Not because I still need that cigarette, but only while waiting for supplies to arrive. I seem to either fry out attys or gunk them up really fast. Man, I hope my new atty gets here tomorrow, these analogs are really stinky and taste narsty! -
Total drag man! I'm waiting on LR atty from Word Up, their website says "The Joye510/520 Are 1.8 to 2.5ohm" Not to sure what that means, but here's hopein'
-
I ordered a sample pack from WordUp and have a 555 in the mix. I don't have any HV device to try it on, but I'll let ya know how it is. I've tried a couple of other 555's and they were ok, I can see the flavors potential and hope to find a good one as well!

This may not be relevant, but I noticed if I'm not constantly sucking down fluids while vaping mostly PG, my throat gets dry, scratchy and irritated. I switched to all VG and haven't had that issue since.
