Congratulations - great accomplishment!

Asking those using an Old Goat bottom-feeder - was wondering if any of you use VG only. If so - which OG did you purchase? 3.7 or 5 Been thinking about getting one for a while but unsure about the VG. And are LR atomizers the best to use?

Off topic (a bit) but to keep the measurement on the outside of needle - maybe try clear nail polish! This has worked for years for my Pyrex measuring cups!

My husband vapes NOTHING but their Caramel Tobacco 16% and so obviously loves it!!! The scent in the air is pretty good too!

prefer 100% VG

I have a carto for each flavour I use. When switching flavours, I reload the current carto, replace its condoms and attach to the flavour bottle with an elastic band. Works for me! Hope this helps.

Well being in Canada - I did my e-mail a little differently. I only sent one - to the Governor of New York (Cuomo) as he was mentioned as the LAST signee. Hope I got the right name. Worded it as a tourist to the state, ex-smoker only because of vaping (when all else failed) and USA being the 'Land of Free' with so many privileges being 'big-brothered'. But I have a question for you - in your 'letter' I read 'I am a member of National Vapers Club' Where and how does one join this?

Hi Aaronh - I also use those cartomizers with my ego. What I have found is: it depends on the thickness of the liquid as to how long they last! I do find myself 'dripping' into them more frequently than I like. I start with first fill of about 25 drops and after a few draws find I have to drip to keep it moist. Now - I think what my husband uses is better. He cannot see so I am the filler - he uses the XL ego cartomizer. He is a moderate vaper and I only fill it once per day for him with 1ml of liquid. He uses VG and one of these lasts 2 to 3 weeks on once a day 'needle' filling.

Quote "I use a big fat embroidery needle to "fluff" the filler after drying too, which I thought for sure would be ripping out that wire too, but NOPE. It is amazing the abuse these supposedly "disposable" things can take." Sorry I am confused!! Thought you were using cartridges. Are you using cartridges or cartomizers? I have no 'wire' in what I call my cartos (probably wrong turn!). I use the 510 cartomizers and think your 'cleaning' method sounds great. 4th month vaping and still puzzling!! Then again I am a really slow learner!

Thanks for the C of a Noob. So true and so funny. Brought back all my early stages and I know I have more experiences to go through. I chuckle at myself - do not even have a cell phone but thinking about getting a mod. Priorities, priorities!!! This vaping is such a wonderful world.

Thank-you for this article! Have cut and pasted it and sent it to my provincial "BC Lung Association" Every article like this will hopefully help.

To all you fabulous Vapor Talk Veterans - Thank-you for all your information and probably unknown support (as I am the resident lurker!) Both my husband and myself no longer use any tobacco products and this is totally amazing. A combined total of 108 years of smoking is over!!! Wishing you and yours the very best in 2011.

Hi JJM - I'm in Canada too and also worried about customs. Taking a deep breath - I ordered from US suppliers and to date parcels arrived within less than 10 days - all stamped in and out of customs the same day. I have purchased nic liquid for DIY and several mixed and the ego. Depending on how many analogs you smoke each day - no nic might be a challenge. I smoked at least 1 1/2 packs a day and started at 16 and am now down to 8; others start higher. Oh - and most paid for shipping is $15 and some shipped free depending on size of order. Here are VT - ordered and shipped the same day and received is 8 days. Hope this helps.

In the smoking (cigar)room on a cruise in August a young couple from Oklahoma said I was coughing too much!!! and out of her purse came a Joye510!! I was amazed that such a product existed - but living in the forests of Canada I do get behind knowledge of modern devices!!! To make a long story short - I researched and researched AGAINST my husband's opinion and found this wonderful,informative site. Thank-you Vapor Talk. I have been vaping since October 1st, no smokes since mid-October and believe it or not my husband is now vaping since mid-October!!! We are ages 67 and 74, both smoked for 50+ years each, saving about $600 a month!!! I do not count all my new products as a cost - they have changed our lives.

Got most of my needed 'supplies' and still collecting fav flavours!! Nervous about starting and at the same time excited. Being in Canada - shipments are getting here from US but nervous about customs every time. Enough rambling!! Have looked at two online calculators and today found one myself - probably not new to experienced DIYers but I found this one really user friendly and thought I would pass the site on. It downloaded quickly and easily to my computer. Try the site: ejuice.breaktru.com and once loaded Click File, OPen and there are lots of recipes.

Congratulations - an awesome accomplishment!

TG for American Thanksgiving!!! Bluemist has sale of our favorite liquid - my husband likes it so much he banished me from the bottle!! Do not know if I can post the price but check out Caramel Tobacco at 150ml!! Strong caramel and leaves a gentle, heavenly tobacco scent in the air. Their Hypermint is awesome too but currently not available.

Thanks to all for your replies. I know, I know (chuckle) I love the ego too! Currently an ego lasts both of us 2 days (and a bit) before requiring a charge. This is awesome. Had read that the new 520 lasts 2-3 days if one is a pack a day smoker so sounded similar. Will have to do more checking on this.

Been vaping a month now and really doing well. Love my ego and well my husband loves my ego too. Amazing but at the age of 74 and smoking longer than me (51 years) he is puffing away on my second ego! Good thing I have three and keep one charged at all times. If you knew these two die-hard smokers you would be as amazed as I am. But looking for a little change and have been thinking about the Joye520 - but cannot find out what cartomizers attach to it. Anyone know?? And I must add - my husband has been using the same ego cartomizer for 10 days - I just refill it daily with 1ml and off he puffs. So far - that cart is non-destructible.!!

Awesome delivery! Ordered from Chris on Oct 22 and received package on Vancouver Island today! Only 5 days including customs. I am soooooo impressed. Now I do not need to worry so much about my 'supplies'

I'm in Canada also and after first order within Canada - due to lack of choice and high prices I have been ordering via the USA. First order was with BlueMist Vaping - and received order in 9 days from east coast US to Vancouver Island, 2nd order has just cleared customs on Friday (Toronto) and will be here tomorrow - 8 days. This was ordered from Litecigusa ($15 shipping) and have just ordered from here - Vaportalk and order is en route. Did not pay any postage for order 1 and 2 as orders were over required $$ for free shipping. I'm a happy camper so far with flavours and DIY supplies. Hope this helps.

Had visit from daughter that absolutely hated me smoking - she is the typical nag about smoking. But now she is happy for me as a non-smoker and new vaper. But she had a question while I sat near her vaping inside my home and not freezing alone out on the porch ---- How much nicotine would she be inhaling from my exhaled vapour?? Something that I have never considered!! Anyone have any suggestions?

Never figured this out before but with my VT meter got me to thinking. I had smoked for 51 years!! Using my average of 30 per day (more like 40 most years) and $50 a carton over the years: 558450 analogs, 2792 cartons, and a total waste of $139,612 Canadian. All I can say is TG for vaping. (How does one edit the error in the subject line? - posted before proofing!!)

New to vaping but this is the route I have taken!! Being nervous and a sorta 'law-abiding' senior citizen I ordered my 510 and ego from a Canadian suppler - Both more expensive then from a US source - but did get a 10% discount!! and free shipping. So take a boo at NicFitNation.com located in Gibsons BC. Only liked 1 of the 3 included liquids soooooooooooooo... as my second order, I ordered from the US and they arrived in only 9 days - and that was astonishing speed. All liquids and DIY bottles. Now preparing order number three - from the US. Should customs swoop down on me -I have a friend with a son living near Seattle and will have to arrange personal delivery. I sure hope not. I am feeling so much better in less than 2 weeks of vaping.

Just started vaping but interested in DIY. Been pricing and looking at choices and so far this puzzles me. What is the difference between VG and VG with ethyl alcohol when purchasing either in nicotine concentrate?
