Well, I may have spoken too soon. It looks like it may be a specific battery now and not the atty. Which is odd since the atty was doing it regardless of what battery I used. So I've used the paperclip method mentioned, I also rolled up some paper towel pieces into a sort of wick which I stuck in there to soak up any juice (came out empty),and I banged it around a good bit. nothing seems to work. The battery is not completely dead as it does work, I just have to pull until my face nearly caves in to get any vapor. They are all 401 parts from the same supplier, and I know it's not rare to get a not-so-perfect piece of equipment. I'll keep messing with it, and will consider contacting the supplier to get a replacement or something (not sure I will as this was a replacement for another battery). Either way, worst comes to worst, I can maybe use the parts to build a battery box or USB pass through. In the mean time I've put an order in for a titanium/silver 510 with some extra atty's and an extra battery. I figure it's time to expand the collection of PVs I have and get a manual one to use as a comparison and for when I'm out somewhere not conducive to auto batteries (like anywhere with loud music).

I occasionally drink wine as well, more of a beer man myself. Anything with a cherry or earthen sort of flavor would probably go well with most wines, I figure.

Nice! Love cruises. Have you cruised on Norwegian? I'm not one for wearing a suit and eating dinner at certain times and sitting with the same folks, which is the best part of Norwegian - what you want, when you want. Oh, and I thought this was going to be a picture of a bear, at a carnival, with a Janty.

Well, it looks like you may have been partially right. After messing with it yesterday, and practically getting an aneurysm trying to vape with it, I may have fixed the problem. This morning I put the unit together and took a drag. NOTHING! AHH! Not good. So, of course, I pulled again and got a whole lot of nothing. I pulled a third time, like my life depended on it, and still nothing. I pulled the cart off and right there, in the middle of the atty under the mesh, was a white hot fireball! A pin point of glowing magma. I almost crapped my pants thinking "Great. Now I've fried this atty. And it's only 6 am. Why am I only wearing a tie? What did I do last night? Are those the cops?" So I put a few drops of juice on the atty, said a small prayer, put it all bag together and BINGO! It works now. I've been blowing it out, and the draw without the battery was fine. I'm thinking that there may have been something on the coil that was causing problems and just needed to burn off (maybe a break-in period of some sort?). So now it's working like champ. I just hope I haven't lowered its life expectancy in some way.

Right now I'm vaping JC Original and/or TRueSmoker's TrueSmoker juice. Of the two I like the Truesmoker MUCH better. I've tried the JC fruit flavors and, while they are tasty, they're just not my cup of tea. I'm much happier with a tobacco flavor over all. Although I would try both hot cocoa and cappuccino.

It's almost like a mob mentality now. Regardless of what the facts are every politician looking to be on the "right side" is going to get on the "FIRE BAD!!" bandwagon. Why waste time actually doing the slightest amount of research when it's just going to get you on the wrong side of the fence? Politics is not rooted in reality, but simple a machine which, when used correctly, can launch any self righteous jackass into the stratosphere of power and money. Our representatives only represent a small number of "us". Unfortunately, when it comes to voting (and I'm guilty of this myself) we don't always act accordingly and vote in primary elections and the such. SO, we kind of shoot ourselves in the foot (or feet. Maybe foots? I don't know but you get my point). Imagine if they put the whole e-cig up to for a vote? Wow. Of course, let us not forget, we are all afraid of that which we do not understand. Some of us are afraid of clowns. I fear llamas. Hairy, spitting, bastards.

Uh, do certain members have to do "certain" things to be considered certain members? I certainly want to be a certain member but will certainly not perform "certain" things in order to attain certainship. Certainly certain "certain" is certainable if certain "certains" get certanized. Certain. Certainly.

Is it possible for an atty to have a bad seal? I'm having some issues with a new atty (no, I have not yet tried a different one) and was wondering if it was possible for one to have a bad seal against the battery. As in too much air is getting in through the holes on the side of the atty but not enough to activate the battery. Symptoms are: Battery activates for a very short period of time, if I pull like a crazy mofo it activates again but then deactivates again lots of whistling if I plug three holes I do not get deactivation, but I have to pull like a mofo (and I look like I'm smoking a joint, not good at work) have to pull like my life depends on it to get some vapor and keep the battery from deactivating I've tried multiple batteries for the same effect. The atty gets hot so it's not that it's dead (plus it's brand new). I realize the first answer will be "Try a different atty you moran!" but in the spirit of troubleshooting I'd like to know if anyone else has run into this, or a similar, issue.

Same thing happened to me. Only it wasn't contacts. And I might have been in the bathroom at the time. And I may have screamed a little bit.

The only tobacco flavor I've tried so far is TrueSmoker's TrueSmoke juice. Reminds me of a marlboro light, or something similar. Huge clouds of vapor.

Sounds like in the long run it would end up being an even cheaper alternative to buying pre-mixed e-juice. Are you planning on trying the LorAnne flavorings as well? I know absolutely nothing about them, but I've seen posts about them.

The only ones I know of so far are the Smoking Everywhere kiosks in malls and some Pilot truck stops that sold the NJoy e-cigs. I might have a talk with the Cigar chop around the corner from my house. Probably a good idea for them to carry e-cigs and juices. Most likely easier for them to have a bunch of stuff in stock and a knowledgeable rep.

http://truesmoker.myshopify.com/products/red-wine-smoke-juice Have not tried it so I cannot attest to it.

If I see the fibers on the atty I take them off. Sometimes I place the wick end of the atty on a napkin to get some of the juice off, replace it, drip one or two drops, replace the cart, then take a few "primer" type puffs. Tends to get rid of the taste for me.

I resemble that remark! I do get harshness off hte first few puffs of the day, and with a new cart. Like with you, it goes away.

"The Esteemed Senator KarateLobster from the state of Virginia has the floor." Would sound AWESOME on CSPAN! But seriously, I want to keep my soul.

WHEREAS, Use of this term should constitute a immediate kick to the abdominal area as it is antiquated, serves no purpose, and should be removed in order to make legal documents easier to understand and less confusing to "normal" folk (seriously, replace every WHEREAS with a bullet and you have the same effect in a much cleaner document) "Electronic cigarette producers market their product to children by utilizing shopping mall kiosks and locations frequented by children" - Here's an idea, stop the selling of these products at Mall kiosks. Oh, and another idea, take a look at the prices these kiosks are charging for theuntis before you start saying kids will buy from the kiosks. Suzy would much rather spend that money on a new outfit and Sluggo would much rather get that new PS3/XBox/PC game If you're REALLY concerned about the welfare of children and people as a whole (right) then how about you petition the FDA to request that the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) prohibit all sales of cigarettes until they have been found by FDA to be safe the FDA has found them to be safe." - anyone else notice the redundancy in this sentence?

:P

I used that at work on Tuesday. Got stuck doing some BS work so I printed one out, filled it in, and added it with my "report". Got some good laughs out of it.

My wife is the greatest woman in the world. She's kind, and beautiful, and smart, and ... ok she's gone, she would kill me in a heart beat if I had a life insurance policy. I kid! She would do it regardless.

Is that with the new coversheet?

If that's the case then I'm a HUGE vagi ... wait, uh ... there are children present, right? Oh yeah, I'm bringing stuff uf from WAY back when. Because I'm trying to avoid housework. SO, if my wife asks, I'm working. Ok? Thanks.

Ninjas can't catch you if you're on fire ... just sayin' ... Oh yeah, much like a Ninja, this thread ain't dead.

Little late to the party, but here's a word of warning gents - Your wife (girlfriend even) CAN kill you in your sleep. Honestly, I'm surprised I'm alive. I can't tell you how many times I've woken up in the middle of the night to find my wife just staring at me. One time I think I pooped a little bit. Just a little bit. I definitely peed though.
