I've been vaping on these juices for about 2 weeks or slightly longer, but I wanted to give them some time before making a final call.

Okay, they're all VG. And one of the most wonderful things about WordUpEcig (besides their awesomely huge selection, super low price, and friendly service) is the fact that you can choose either pure PG, pure VG, or a 50/50 mix. That alone is worth a visit, but they also have the most astounding assortment of tobacco flavors too which is attractive to me b/c I really favor tobacco over others.

I ordered 5 flavors in pure VG in a sample pack at 11mg strength of 5mil bottles for the super low price of only $20.99. That's about 42 cents per mil! Amazing. Plus Jeff threw in a small 3mil sample bottle of their new "Balanced Blend" in 24mg strength b/c he's essentially very awesome. Here we go:

555: Probably familiar to most of you, but it's a slight tobacco flavor with a very pronounced sweet nutty flavor. Not sure what type of nuts it would be as I don't normally like them. But it's sweet and savory, and definitely makes me a little hungry inbetween meals. My overall favorite due to the fact that the bottle is the most empty of the lot.

Tobacco/Russian Tobacco: I ordered "Russion Tobacco" but the bottle is labeled simply "Tobacco". So I'm not sure if this is what I ordered and there just wasn't enough room on the label, or if it's a mistake. Either way, I'm happy with it. Think: your basic generic tobacco flavor. Sweet and just a little dry. Simple, with not very many undertones. Just the slightest little hint of nuttiness, but it's very very faint. Overall, my 2nd favorite evidenced by the fact that the bottle is the 2nd most empty.

Jeff's Mix: I had no idea what to expect here, but the fact that it cost an extra $1.00 really intrigued me. A good tobacco base with a sweet fruitiness to it. Not a specific fruit flavor that you can pin down, just generic fruit. But it's actually blended very well, and neither the tobacco or the fruitiness overpower each other. I really enjoy it, and out of the lot it has the strongest throat hit and ranks at #3.

Kents: I had no idea what this was supposed to emulate b/c I never smoked Kents cigarettes. Heck, I'd never even heard of them. But it's definitely on the dry side. Not very sweet, but with some fruity overtones. It's hard to imagine fruit not being sweet, but this is what Kents tastes like to me. A savory, dry, tobacco, fruitiness. Pretty good and appears to be my 4th favorite as it is the 4th most empty.

Cuban Cigar: Okay, think pungent, strong, super savory, and a dry nutty flavor. Pretty much exactly what I expected. I only had a few cigars back in my analog days, and really this was spot-on with what I remember. It's very uncanny how realistic it is. Definitely not one of my favorites, as it is the 5th most empty in the whole lot. But if you're looking for a realistic cigar flavor that sticks around and lasts in your mouth, this is your beast!

Balanced Blend: This was the 3mil sampler Jeff sent me that is in 24mg strength (wow!). Actually very similar to Jeff's Mix except the throat hit seems less even though it's twice as strong as what I'm used to. Just the slightest hint of tobacco flavor with a stronger sweet fruit flavor (no specific fruit) and also just a tad hint of nuttiness. Essentially what it sounds like: a balanced blend of tobacco flavors. Kind of reminds me of some Flue-Cured tobacco I got elsewhere. It's actually very good, but since it's 24mg I can't handle very much of it at all. I have to rank it #6 just due to the fact that the 24mg gives me a buzz after a few minutes. Were it in a lower strength that I can handle, it may rank higher.

(whew)

Ok so there you have it. On a sidenote, all of these flavors have the best throat hit of any juice I've ever tried. Yup, even better than PG juices. They have a very nice vapor production since they're VG, have a really strong throat hit, but are dilute and thin enough that they drip and soak into your cart just like they were a normal PG juice. But whatever Jeff has in his recipe for throat hit is totally incredible. They all took me by surprise.

The one strange thing I noticed, which I have yet to really understand, is that after a few minutes I start getting a weird salty taste in my mouth. Doesn't matter which of the flavors I try. I always get that weird saltiness. I think it's whatever he's using for the throat hit. Sometimes it doesn't bother me that bad, but then other times I just have to switch to something else b/c it's too annoying. That's the only down-side to them.

Besides including that sample bottle that I didn't solicit or pay for, he also included a handwritten personalized note. Things like that are what make customers come back for more, and I definitely will be coming back.

Thanks Jeff!

As storm season hits me here in tornado alley I've started wondering about a 72 hour emergency kit (aka Bug-Out-Bag). I'm long overdue for making one, and last year was a stark reminder of that fact: 8 deaths here in my home town February 2009, only 1/2 mile away from me. I've been lucky in the fact that I've personally seen 9 tornadoes during my lifetime. Last year's 2009 disaster would have been number 10 except that it was night, so visibility would have been impossible except during the brief instances during lightening flashes, but I was huddled inside when the golf-all-sized hail started to hit.

Despite seeing 9 other tornadoes during my life, last year's incident really shook me up. Something I didn't realize until my wife pointed out the fact that I've bought about 20 flashlights since then. Now I'm starting to realize it scared the **** out of me on an unconscious level. I guess spending the night alone in the bathtub in the dark with only a piddly little AA flashlight made me realize how unprepared I am. Yeah that's right, I was born and raised in tornado alley but I don't have a storm shelter. Shame on me (but that's a totally different topic).

So besides other things, my question is this: Does a personal vaporizer really have a place in a 72 hour emergency kit? I've started to get a few items together (I'm a big fan of MREs since my brother-in-law went down to New Orleans to assist in the Katrina relief efforts, and survived off them for a couple weeks and brought some back to play with).

But do they really belong in a 72 hour kit? The only device I can fathom to include would be a home-made 3AA alkaline battery box mod (in a disaster, who's going to think to grab some 14500 lithiums?). That's no problem to make, but should I really be thinking about nicotine when that weight and space could be better suited to more food, water, tools, radios, etc?

Yeah Tektronik, right down here in southern OK.

My wife ran across a vaper when she was getting out of class late one night. Of course, she didn't get her name or phone number or anything b/c my wife doesn't vape

But we've apparently got some vapers around here some where!

My sister-in-law had a big staff meeting today at the local Women's Shelter. I gave her two 510 sets (cart, atty, battery) preloaded with some Essence USA mix and 555, the bottle of Essence, a KR808 PCC with an 808 to 510 adapter in it, with a battery plugged in, and a 510 cartomizer in the PCC filled with Jeff's Mix (from WordUpEcig). And also a fist full of about 30 business cards from all the online vendors I've ever ordered from before.

She gave a little presentation to her employees about PVs because they all smoke. They were all very impressed, and took *all* of the business cards away from her

It went very well, and I'm freaking happy about it. Hopefully they'll go home tonight and do their own online reading and work up the courage to buy a starter kit somewhere. It would be fantastic to "save" some folks from smoking analogs. Plus, on a selfish note, I'd like more vapers in my area!

Wish them luck!

I'm flabbergasted. And having a hard time believing that the US Customs dept is spending this much time and this much of *MY* tax money on seizing a shipment of personal vaporizers and nicotine liquid when there are plenty of other things out there that are legitimate threats to myself and my family.

I guess it was only a matter of time though.

I won't go into the debates regarding what I feel is right for my family and I to use and consume, because there's just no point now. But this is utter ********, and I'm having a really hard time understanding how easily they can cast me off to die from smoking cigarettes. "Personal vaporizers are the devil so go smoke cigarettes intead, get cancer, and die like the dog that you are". **** you FDA.

This is ******* ****.

As much as I'd like to start blasting letters off to congressmen wishing that they die from the same slow and painful death that they are now wishing upon us, I just can't do it. Instead, I'll start sending letters to the congressmen in my state thanking them for not falling into the same level of ignorance that others have in the states that are now considering banning personal vaporizers.

So I now say, "Thank you congressmen of Oklahoma, for not wishing that myself and my friends and family members die a slow death from tobacco related cancer. Thank you for not trying to ban personal vaporizers in our state and this great union, and allowing me the freedom to choose how I wish to free myself from my tobacco addiction and not affect those around me anymore with second hand smoke. Thank you congressmen, for allowing me to use personal vaporizers instead of having to resort to products that have been proven to have a less than 30% rate of success in quitting the use of tobacco cigarettes. Thank you congressmen for allowing me the choice to not use medications that have been clinically proven to increase my chance of suicide, depression, aggression, and death.

Typically I'm neither religious nor patriotic in the common sense of those words. But I'll say it now: God bless the United States of America. God bless me and my family. God bless anyone trying to better themselves and to better their health and the health of those around them. May the spirit of our founding fathers prevail, and lead us through this grotesque and dark time when the FDA can blindly curtail the freedoms bestowed upon us by men of free will.

God bless us all.

Ok, I've still not experienced this phenomenon, but from hearing what's been happening to other folks, I came up with a partial theory. I say partial, b/c I think part of it holds merit, but I still can't account for everything. Here goes (this is pure fiction, but it sounds reasonable in my mind):

The air intake holes at the bottom of the atomizer become momentarily clogged. I assume clogged and blocked up with fried, carbonized juice since we're talking about higher power outputs than just a regular 510 at low voltage. So juices are being boiled off and dried out at a much higher rate than normal. Since this seems to occur during times when the atomizer is already hot (after a couple puffs) the coil is already pretty hot and so is the atomizer casing. You know that hot gasses are inherently more pressurized than cooler gases, so the atomizer chamber is already filled with hot air that can be momentarily pressurized.

When you take a toot off your device, the negative pressure caused by the suction of your mouth forcefully re-opens the clogged air holes in the atomizer. The already warmed air in the chamber rushes up into your mouth and cooler fresh air rushes in underneath it quickly to fill the void. Thus, a momentary increase in pressure.

It's all conjecture at this point, but it's the only thing I can think of. Now if I could just come up with a way to test it.... Intentionally blocking the air holes? Hmmm....

Oh wow, I've not had this happen to me yet. I do own some LR attys, but only have a passthrough for 5V vaping so I haven't dabbled with 6V just yet.

Sounds kind of intriguing.... Something to figure out exactly what is happening physically down in there. But I'm sure if it happened to me, I'd never want anything to do with it again

Good info and good point McQuinn. Honestly considering the controversy right now, we really should be taking a 'devils advocate' approach to some things.

I honestly have no idea how many mils of juice I'm vaping per day, b/c I really switch around soooooo dang much. But I'll gaurantee it's a heck of a lot more than what I smoked in my analog days. Granted, some of that is zero nic juice (I only have a few). But all of my main juice is 11mg. So am I getting more nicotine than when I was smoking? I'd be stupid to say no.

Do I think vaping is harmless? Heck no. Do I think it's healthier than smoking? Heck yes. Vaping is a vice, and there's no point in thinking otherwise or trying to market it as anything but a healthier alternative. That's what I tell my friends and family, and for the most part, they're happy I've made the switch.

But you bring up a good point in that we should never think vaping is 100% harmless. I just can't believe that my health is the same as someone that doesn't vape. But for now I'm ok with that, and we'll see what the future brings.

Vaping is a hobby, a lifestyle, and a chemical addiction all rolled into one package. That's a big statement, but it satisfies the three major necessities of my personality

Okay, they're all VG. And one of the most wonderful things about WordUpEcig (besides their awesomely huge selection, super low price, and friendly service) is the fact that you can choose either pure PG, pure VG, or a 50/50 mix.

I ordered 5 flavors in pure VG in a sample pack at 11mg strength of 5mil bottles for the super low price of only $20.99. That's about 42 cents per mil! Amazing. Plus Jeff threw in a small 3mil sample bottle of their new "Balanced Blend" in 24mg strength b/c he's essentially very awesome. Here we go:

555: Probably familiar to most of you, but it's a slight tobacco flavor with a very pronounced sweet nutty flavor. Not sure what type of nuts it would be as I don't normally like them. But it's sweet and savory, and definitely makes me a little hungry inbetween meals. My overall favorite due to the fact that the bottle is the most empty of the lot.

Tobacco/Russian Tobacco: I ordered "Russion Tobacco" but the bottle is labeled simply "Tobacco". So I'm not sure if this is what I ordered and there just wasn't enough room on the label, or if it's a mistake. Either way, I'm happy with it. Think: your basic generic tobacco flavor.

Blowing it out very very well really seems to help me. And I mean blowing it out of the thread end (putting your mouth over the cart end). Some folks do it the other way around, but this really works best for me and gets no juice in your mouth.

If that doesn't work (and eventually it only does so much good) my deep cleaning regime is to put it in a small jar of white vinegar for a few hours (like 3-4hrs). Then about once an hour, really stir it up good. You can see the leftover juice dissolving into the vinegar when you hold up the jar to a light. It looks like heat waves or convection currents coming out of the atty. Afterwards, rinse it very well in warm/hot water, blow out as much water as you can, stick a paper towel up into it and leave it upside down overnight.

The next morning take a look at the little thread wicks coming from the bridge. If you did a really good job, they should be pure white like they were when the atty was brand new.

Hope it helps.
