New To The Community And Vaping, Need Advise
Tony_C replied to oddpowers's topic in New Vapers Forum
Most kits come standard with MLB (tobacco) cartridges. My first sweet I really liked was boston cream pie (got it from vaporgalaxy.com). Sweet Dawn from Vaportalk store is highly touted, but haven't had chance to try yet... Have organic green apple from sweet-vapes.com, it actually could stand to be a bit sweeter, and the flavor is somewhat subtle, but I wonder if that's due to it being organic and not mainly PG as most of what I have are. I always draw into mouth then inhale, but this is a preference thing - flavor is better, and get more vapor this way I think. As for when you're done...well, I'd probably not stop at all if it were possible honestly, but I tend to do between 7-15 puffs then put it down for a while. Or if I'm busy, 2-3, do a bit of whatever I'm working on, then another couple a while later. Out and about, I might do up to 15 puffs, then go 3-4 hours before pulling it out again. (avg cig lasts 10-15 puffs/drags). -
Cartomizers still have an atomizer in them... 50/50 seems quite a bit of water to me...most DIY'ers I've seen use 20% thinner at most -but if it works, go for it.
-
Too much water and you'll kill your atomizer. I'd pick up a bottle of food grade pg to cut it with, or just order it mixed. _

Yeah, they're pretty awesome...and this is amazing, can't find actual video, but this thing exists

How Not To Behave When You Can't Vape.
Tony_C replied to Phaseman66's topic in General Vaping Discussion
I loved this part Maybe they should have? -
Our lungs don't drain themselves...but when you hack up phlem...there goes some liquid from your lungs. You likely won't get pnemonia amounts of build up...but I'd almost bet there's more than a non-smoking, non-vaping healthy adult has.
-
Not going to use a numerical rating...but I'll say better than all the alternatives by far.
-
I haven't noticed it, could be withdrawal from all the other cig chems for sure... I would suggest trying a 100% VG and see if it helps, in any case.
-
I wouldn't get a disposable, personally...after having used a 510 and eGo, they're pretty bad. You can get a Riva battery from Libertyflights for about the cost of most disposables, and it should work with all your current eGo accessories.
-
I don't know about preferred, but I like to use the condom fill + Taryn spin method, then a couple drops to top it off. Didn't count the drops, but it takes roughly 2/3 of the larger condom full of liquid to fill a new carto.

just got some juice from Dayna...gotta say, they all are good I ordered with extra flavor, some of the ones I got before from other vendors seemed a bit weak. Kona Cream - smooth, slightly nutty coffee...now I know why it's a favorite. Mapacho Tobacco- this one's not easy to describe, doesn't taste at all like traditional tobacco flavors, very smooth and light. Starbuckets Espresso - name says it all, almost spot on for flavor. Spanish Gold (menthol) - somewhat like a light menthol cig. the menthol is a bit sweet, not harsh at all. Chocolate Truffle - just as close to the candy treat as can be I imagine, wish I got more than a sample now. Organic Green Apple - not quite what I expected, hoped for a tart apple....flavor is still good, lightly sweet, like chewing on the skin part of the apple almost.
-
sounds like the atomizer is dry, or you got a bad one...
-
I like Boge's , haven't decided on LR or regular,LR has stronger flavor, warmer vapor, but regular the flavor lasts longer. I got mine from electronicstix also.

Study: Texting May Help Smokers Quit Faster
Tony_C replied to Christopher's topic in General Vaping Discussion
I think I'd end up smoking more, or strangling some poor volunteer... -
Gotta agree with the eGo starter kit...I started with a 510 and ended up ordering an ego shortly (like 3 days) after. The 510 functions just fine, but battery life is terrible - and decided eGo would be better off than getting 2 XL batteries. You could start with the tank kit, and order a normal atomizer, drip tip, and a pack of 510 cartomizers, that way you can try them all and see what you like better...I've yet to try a tank system, and with all the mixed reviews of it, still on the fence about if I want to. Regardless of what you decide on as far as style, I would say stay away from proprietary brands, like BLU (just an example). Most of the reputable kits are 510 threaded from what I've seen.

Diyflavorshack Is The Place For Both Veteran And New E-Cig Users
Tony_C replied to MissVape's topic in e Cigarette Reviews
I'll take some, fried and with lots of ketchup -
Snack, game, glass of water...and a cig. Hell, sometimes I'd even smoke while chewing gum. So...yeah...those might all be ways to lower anxiety, but that's only one part of the addiction.
-
I'm not Jon, but here: http://www.electronicstix.com/SPARE-PARTS/CARTOMIZERS/510-Series-Cartomizers-c54/ A lot of vendors sell Boge, so don't think I'm pushing you to shop here though. $7-8 for a 5 pack seems standard price.

The rest of the bunch I got (direct drip, just to try em out): Drunken Monkey - very nice, all the flavors come through, almost like really drinking. A bit bitter for my tastes though, great for an occassional 'mix it up' vape 4/5 Peaches and Cream - nice peach almost dead on, light creaminess. Not my favorite fruit, so I'm rating this a bit lower than I would if I loved peaches. 3.5/5 Cola - What to say, this tastes just like coke(I'm glad, don't like pepsi as much)...but warm and no carbonation 5/5 Dr. Pepper - Ugh...nowhere near the real thing...unless it were flat and a few days out. 1/5 Dark Chocolate Raspberry - Very rich, the raspberry is second note, would be better if it were a bit more pronounced...great flavor nonetheless. 4.5/5 Chi Tea - nice herbal flavor, cinnamon catches up after a few seconds...need to pour another cup...err...fill a carto I mean... 4/5
-
All are 70/30 mix, using lr boge cartos on an eGo. Strawberry Fields - tastes great, good strawberry with a punchy note. very smooth 4.5/5 Keoke Coffee - Wow! this one has a good flavor, the brandy seems to overpower the coffee a bit, but I like it. 3.5/5 Pom Blu Ice - good pomegranate, bluberry is barely there...not a fan of the ice(menthol). 2/5 I've got a few more I'll be trying in next couple days
-
Just got mine today (passthrough). So much better than my 510 , but also a good deal larger. Flavors seem a bit more robust, and the cone does make a difference in draw, it's more like the 510 without it- but mainly, it just looks so much better. got some stainless LR cartos also, they get a bit hot on the lips...good thing I have a drip tip to put on top. ETA: also got my "sampler" from gourmet vapor, will be putting up my thoughts on flavors as I get a chance to go through them.
-
I wondered this as well. As for a strong nic content, try this
-
I knew about the over 4000 chemicals in analogs, part of the reason I finally decided to quit them...here's just a few: VS ecigs: PG/VG flavorings tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs) nicotine and, possibly Diethylene Glycol Now which one do you want as your nicotine source?
-
Pretty sure magma is compatible with the 510, and inferno is eGo
