I pretty much vape all the time but the mornings are when I vape for like an hour straight. I guess I have to build the nicotine concentration back up or something.

I've been experimenting with cleaning up atomizers. I tried the diet coke trick which didn't work that well. Then I tried the boiling water trick which worked OK. Last night as I was putting my dentures in to soak (laugh it up but I lost them the cool way in a skydiving accident! ) I remembered my wife cleaning her jewelery with denture tablets. So I thought, what the heck? Dropped a couple of 901 atty in a tupperware bowl with a denture tablet (no, not with my teeth! :P ). Man, it worked like a charm! Here's the process: 1 Fill a container with hot water from the tap and drop in a denture cleaner tablet 2 Drop in the atomizer(s) and allow to soak overnight. 3 Remove the atomizers and rinse them well under running water. 4 Gently blow from the threaded side to dislodge any loose particles. 5 Roll up a some paper towel and push it loosely into the atomizer. 6 Set the atomizers open side down in a shot glass with a little paper towel in the bottom and allow to dry 24 hours. 7 When ready to vape, be sure and add 4-5 drops of juice directly on the atomizer. I usually put a filled cart in, too, to keep everything moist. Remember, it takes a bit of vaping to get the atty to start up, so don't panic if at first it doesn't vape. A shot glass also makes a handy atty holder. Just put some paper towel in the bottom and set them in, open side down. That will drain out the excess juice when the atty is not being used.

For me, it was the stress of junior high!

I vape in my pool alot. I take a baggie, stick the 901 in it, and then use electrical tape to seal it up near the mouthpiece. It's not perfect but, after a few drops in the pool (too much vodka ) , it seems to have made it out OK.

OK. I couldn't stand it so I ordered some. It's a bit pricey ($20/20ml with shipping). When I get it, I'll do a video review.

Ask and you shall receive! http://www.ecisdirect.com/en/cartridge.asp?id=106 I'm going to buy some before I take a plane trip. This would be great for airplanes, movie theaters, etc.

Silicone vape! Cool!

I wanted to add an update to this review. The liquid is very thick. About like straight VG. That doesn't seem to make any difference to how well it smokes but I thought I would throw that in. Also, it settles out meaning there appears to be a compound that settles to the bottom of the vial. So be sure to shake it up well before vaping.

I use to work for RJR and they are one of the largest buyers of chocolate in the world. They put the chocolate in analogs so I thought that might work in e-juice. Well, if works fine but adds nothing to the taste. In fact, it kind of burns and taste, well, burnt! Just thought I would pass that on.

Here's one I like: 3mg Awesome Vapor Marlbone 36mg 3mg Glycerine (Wilton brand from Michael's) 20 drops of Johnson Creek Original 16mg Shake well and vape! Yeilds about 6mg of 16-18mg juice. Personally, the Johnson Creek Original is too strong tasting to suit me but mixed with the Marlbone, it gives a nice vanilla like flavor with a hint of smokey. Proportions don't matter that much. 50/50 will yeild about 18mg juice. You can add the Johnson Creek to taste as well. I look at this more like cooking that science.

I work at home now but when I was in the office I use to vape all I wanted. The only guy that bitched was this young dude who thought it was "cheating". So it's OK to take time off work to walk down to the "smoking tree" and BS with the rest of the smokers but it's not OK to sit and your cube and work while you put out harmless water vapor? What a douch!

Most definitely sticky that how-to. I just clean 2 atty that were not working so good as instructed and now they vape like crazy! It does take awhile before they start back working. In my case it 2-3 refills and some primer puffing to get it going but now they work great. Thank you so much for the info!!!

I was a Marlboro man myself! I've tried a bunch of juice and I like awesome vapor marboro the best. I like Parked's Nicquid from diet smokes, too. I still miss the smell, though! :-)

I can tell you what has been working for me. I buy 32mg from awesomevapor.com in Marlboro and I buy glycerin from Michael's (you can also get it at cake decorating stores). Just make sure you get food grade glycerin. I mix it 50/50 which should be somewhere around 16-18mg strength. Since the glycerin is clear and the juice is colored, I usually just eyeball it. The flavor is pretty good but I usually add a few drops of Johnson Creek tobacco 16mg juice to boost the taste. I don't know about menthol but I bet you could add a little add a little LorAnn flavoring (also available at cake/candy making stores) in maybe a peppermint or spearmint. Just a little flavoring goes a long way. I've tried it with strawberry and key lime and found it takes maybe 5 drops per 10ml. Honestly, this is almost like cooking where you have to taste and adjust. Make small batches and try them out until you find a mix that tastes good to you. It's pretty individual. What taste good to you might not taste good to me, etc. Anyway, I hope that helps!

I can't find the post on how to really clean them. Can you post a link?

The taste was so foul that I decide to try the wash-the-atomizer-in-diet-coke trick. It did seem to work. I can't say the atty is working any better but it's not working any worse!

ooops! I kept saying 501 when I meant to say 510 as in Joye 510. Sorry!

My first video review! This is a review of the adapter that allows you to use 501/Dura atomizers in a Janty Stick.

That's a bummer, man. I had 2 bad Janty Sticks myself. I would agree about picking up an 801 (standard pen style). The parts are cheap and plentiful. They vape well and the batteries last a long time. Most of the suppliers have them fairly cheap. With all the money you are saving on analogs, you can get some nice gear!

I dripped up some juice that really tastes nasty to me. However, now I can't get the taste out of the PV. I'm sure this has happened to others. Any advice?

Thanks, Sean! The atomizer is not engaging in the body. It spins like it's screwing in but no luck. I tried a bunch of different atomizers and even took a pair of needle nose to try to get it in there. It seemed to tighten up but the atty never kicks on. It's like it's not making an electrical connection. I tried known good batteries, atty, etc. I had one with a bad switch before but the LED on this one comes on so that doesn't seem to be the problem. Any ideas? Parker is a jam up dude. Honestly I was more concerned than worried about a Janty Stick. That's why I figured you guys would know what happened. I thought that maybe there was a business problem like a ban on e-smokes in Texas or something. I did know that PayPal f***ed him over. I sure didn't have any idea there was a personal issue. He really does treat his customers right.

Man, I'm really sorry to hear about that. I figured there must have been an emergency. He is such a super guy.

What's going on with Parker from dietsmokes? He owes me a replacment Janty Stick and I can't get hold of him. I got an order from him recently but after several emails, no word. That's not like him as he is always super responsive. His customer service is the best! Anybody know what's going on with him?

This is so much fun! I was experimenting with mixing and tried some strawberry extract. It was OK but subtle. So I found a cake decorating store up the street that sold the LorAnne flavorings. I brought home a load of different flavors but my first try was the key lime. WOW! It's awesome! However, I did learn that a little goes a really long way. I put 10+ drops in a 3ml bottle which was too much. I think 5 would have been plenty. Soon as I vape some up, I'll water it down with some glycerin. Just posting my experiments in hopes that somebody might gain some insight (or go ahead and try mixing)!

You passed the drinking test! That's the biggie, for me anyway. I have a Dura which is basically a fancy 510 and I love it! Ordered some whistle tip carts from Parker, too. Welcome to vaping! May you live long and healty!
