easilyamused

ya know, i too wondered about anyone taking the time to post a pic only to complain that they were never coming back... very suspicious , i didnt have a pic here for at least a week or two... maybe more ... as a regular member...

wow! i can understand frustration at having difficulty at navigating a site to find the customer support, but that surely was not the best way to approach the issue. Chris has always been great about dealing with returns, give people a chance before you publicly jump on them. So far I have had nothing but good experiences with both Vapor Talk and Liberty Flights I hope your issue gets resolved and if you chose not to return i hope you find what you are looking for elsewhere

im also going to suggest the ego batteries... but i wonder if it might not be more cost effective to just get a starter kit, then you get the charger and everything you need... best part is you can still use your 510 attys and such with the new device... Riva is also the same as an eGo

my battery went haywire after the 60 day mark, LF covers them for 6 months, all i have to do is return the bad one with the shipping label they sent me with the replacement and a letter explaining what it was doing... so far so good, they have not done me wrong

carto is still working, now i will need to find other non clogging juices... this is a never ending cycle of trial and error....

only real drawback i have seen is that you cannot simply get a lighter and just make it work, this actually takes some thought, and effort, trial and error... thats the only real draw back... make sure you have back ups for your back ups...

found it! it was smoking everywhere and njoy they tested, no other brands... it was smoking everywhere that had the contaminated cartridge (prefilled carts) http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Drugs/ScienceResearch/UCM173250.pdf

actually the company names were released... let me see if i can find it, but i remember the one with the diethylene glycol was smoking everywhere and it was only found in one cartridge of many that they sampled and may have been contaminated... now i will see if i can find that somewhere to back myself up here

cartos are a atty and cartridge combined, they are great if you are going to be in your car or where dripping isnt always a good idea, they are much better than just cartridges, cheaper than attys if you find that for some reason you are going through attys like mad... its definitely worth giving a try and perhaps keeping on hand as back up as for the Riva, yep, same as an ego and the charger will work with it and all that

one day i shall have to try this method, how does it compare to cartos? (8 posts to go lol)

can i suggest you both give LR cartomizers a try? just a though, but much cheaper than replacing attys, unless you want to buy them in bulk... i know liberty flights sells attys in like 3 packs or something... but do give cartos a try, see if you like them, if for no other reason then as a back up in case of future atty failure

and thanks everyone... maybe its ok for me to fall off the wagon from time to time so long as i dont give up trying... but meanwhile... this juice is alright but... lol, lets see how long i can make this carto last before i take my chances with other flavors

what is KBV?.... oooooh kick bass... no ive not been there as yet

ok, ran out of analogs last night, went to mail box this morning while coffee was brewing... new Riva, new cartos, and a new liquid... i think all in all while ive been away i smoked a total of 4 packs of analogs.... so i got through my morning without an analog, decided that i dont hate this flavor, and i need to stick with it a day or two to figure out if the juices i was using before were the source of a lot of my troubles (dayvape, feel free to chime in on this topic) but this is what i do know... the tank is not for me, the MAP tank, while nice, still lacks the TH and warm comfort of a LR carto... so really, searching for my perfect vapeing experience is really not a problem, it is LR cartos, i just need to make them last more than a day each... i am going to toss all of my old cartos that even after a coke soak and boiling were still not unclogged... going to hang onto my clogged atty and give it a coke bath in the near future or something , but will keep it for the just in case... after all, there is always DD if something goes wrong with the cartos.... ill keep you posted success or failure... but if the old juices were the problem then i will be in need of suggestions for non clogging e liquids in the near future, meanwhile its 30mls of menthol tobacco for now while i figure this out...

heck, tell me about it, ever since i got sick all i hear if i tell hubby i have another fever is "it could be something in those e cigs" i keep telling him allergic reactions do not cause low grade fevers, so ive given up telling him that i am still sick and im just dealing with it best i can with dr visits and such, the doc knows im using e cigs and has no problem with it, in fact my BP is better than it has been in a long time! (edited typo... i realize you can all read fluent typo but its still bothers me when i do it)

i used to dabble in making perfumes from essential oils, i learned really quickly there is a huge difference between synthetic and real oils, but i also know they are not for ingestion, topical only... i know that loranns flavorings do clearly state which ones are oil based, such as clove oil for example, but i can see where a DIYer might easily screw up and create something not suitable for inhalation

exactly, water not oil based, and why do they keep insisting that what is in these liquids is some mysterious secret? most manufactures clearly list exactly what it is in them, besides, it is not secret that many former smokers may still one day develop smoking related illness even years after they quit, whether or not they turn to smoking alternitives

common side effects are dry or sore throat... drink more water and then in less than a week, no more morning smokers cough, healthier gums, in fact so healthy that they can sometimes bleed from finally getting some circulation... if you had any gum disease that was being masked by the smoking you will become aware of it... in my case my blood pressure has gone down, my mouth is healthier, tongue no longer coated, teeth getting whiter... (confession, i fell off the wagon for about a week, back on it now)

personally i agree, anyone who has used LR cartos will not find the tank satisfying ... i still have an unused tank atty and three unused tanks and even in the midst of all my ecig drama i could not get them to satisfy me

well... turns out LF coveres their batteries for 6 months, they sent me a new one, i only need to send the old one back with the return shipping thingy they sent and a letter explaining what happened to mine... perhaps it is a manufacturing issue, i wonder if anyone has had this happen with other brands, such as RIVA or Tornado?

atty primer could be the problem as well... and god only knows some of those juices from china are just acidic and vile... could be a number of things really

LMAO yes 100%pg! and if that is the only problem can i go back to VR? because i really enjoy their flavors

ok, im here... checking in... so... im frustrated and have been putting off making any orders while trying to figure this all out... meanwhile you know it doesnt rain til it pours... so heres what has happened, one of my attys is getting too hot when i Direct Drip, i actually burned myself with it... one battery decided it does not want to shut off and im letting it sit in the corner and power down since it tried to burn up my atty... Erika was most kind and let me try out her MAP tank... believe it or not im even struggling with that, as in there is no real hit, there is flavor, but no hit, which is a step up from the no flavor and no hit of the tank system... so ive come to discover that i enjoy direct drip, when my atty is not on fire, and i love love love cartos with a passion... so, if it is the juice i need to look into that... so... back to square one... bought a Riva lite kit (because i now need a new battery and atty as well) in pink because it amuses me... two more packs of boge 2.0 and one 30ml... kill me now if i end up hating it, menthol tobacco flavor, (LF does not have the greatest selection of non tobacco flavors)and after all i am a menthol smoker... something has got to go right... maybe this is just not my week... meanwhile, i will try and supplement with what i have on hand as best i can and have an analog now and then, because hey, the pressure is off, i already removed my banner...

of all the rotten luck! i swear if it were not for bad luck lately id have no luck at all, my eGo battery just did that same damn thing

it the atty is low res that might have something to do with it... just a thought, but they burn hotter and i know some of us dont let out attys cool down before the next hit, i can see where melting could happen
