    WTF are your talking about, I didnt bash him, I suggested people use caution. It was an opinion and you don't own a topic. I didnt insinuate anything about mixing in bathtub.

    Good Grief, man.

    I went out for dinner tonight with a friend who smokes. Even though I had my e-cig with me, I was curious and bummed a camel. God Awful is the only thing I can thing of. For me, smoking is not on pause, I will never touch those nasty things again. It tasted just like they did when I first started smoking and I can't believe I kept on doing it.

    Most people like to live without having any regrets or anything they would do over but I will always kick myself for even starting that horrible habit.

    Yes it does get quite hot over time and it's really not worth risking burning anything inside your cart.

    Cartridges are pretty cheap and last quite some time. You'd be better of just buying new carts. Many members over the year or two have tried different things in carts and none seem to work that well. Remember direct dripping is also another great option

    I gave away about 2 dozen Vapor Talk cards while I was at the beach this week. Looks like it's time to place another order for more E-liquid (and get more cards--LOL)

    One of them (or maybe 2?) that I've purchased from do. I forget offhand which ones, because I gave the cards away, but I thought it was way cool that they did that on the back of their card. I agree with you, wish more would include info on their cards too.
    My kid wants BC's to hand out to the curious travellers, But I keep forgetting to get them from the vendors So, with that said, I'd like to let out a big hollar to all the vendors: 'Please include a checkbox and an amount selection during checkout "Would you like extra bc's? Select how many". pleasepleaseplease

    Mark reacted to snubber in Stupidest Question Ever   
    I don't think you said anything wrong. Just misinformed. Most vendors have a warning for their lo-res products stating that they are not recommended for anything under 450mah. So although it worked for you it was just not the best for the smaller battery.
    Also.. I too think it's not the way of the forum to just send newbies off to another site to get an answer that they asked here. If we all did that there would be no reason for us to have a forum. We could all just head over to Youtube and merrily search around until we found the answer we need. One of the best parts about VaporTalk is it's helping family. When we get to the point where we no longer help each other out as best as WE can first, before sending people other places, that's when I no longer will be on the forum. It's the people here who helped me to get to the point I'm at now and I thank each and everyone of them.

    Mark reacted to FTJoe in Propsed High-School Principal Speech   
    Got this in my e-mail


    The speech every American high-school principal should give.



    (If every high-school principal gave this speech at the beginning of the next school year, America would be a better place.)


    To the students and faculty of our high school:

    I am your new principal, and honored to be so. There is no greater calling than to teach young people.

    I would like to apprise you of some important changes coming to our school. I am making these changes, because I am convinced that most of the ideas that have dominated public education in America have worked against you, against your teachers, and against our country.

    First, this school will no longer honor race or ethnicity. I could not care less if your racial makeup is black, brown, red, yellow, or white. I could not care less if your origins are African, Latin American, Asian, or European, or if your ancestors arrived here on the Mayflower or on slave ships.

    The only identity I care about, the only one this school will recognize, is your individual identity — your character, your scholarship, your humanity. And the only national identity this school will care about is American. This is an American public school, and American public schools were created to make better Americans.

    If you wish to affirm an ethnic, racial, or religious identity through school, you will have to go elsewhere. We will end all ethnicity-, race-, and non-American-nationality-based celebrations. They undermine the motto of America, one of its three central values — e pluribus unum, “from many, one.” And this school will be guided by America’s values.

    That includes all after-school clubs. I will not authorize clubs that divide students based on any identities. This includes race, language, religion, sexual orientation, or whatever else may become in vogue in a society divided by political correctness.

    Your clubs will be based on interests and passions, not blood, ethnic, racial, or other physically defined ties. Those clubs just cultivate narcissism — an unhealthy preoccupation with the self — while the purpose of education is to get you to think beyond yourself. So we will have clubs that transport you to the wonders and glories of art, music, astronomy, languages you do not already speak, carpentry, and more. If the only extracurricular activities you can imagine being interested in are those based on ethnic or racial or sexual identity, that means that little outside of yourself really interests you.

    Second, I am uninterested in whether English is your native language. My only interest in terms of language is that you leave this school speaking and writing English as fluently as possible. The English language has united America’s citizens for more than 200 years, and it will unite us at this school. It is one of the indispensible reasons this country of immigrants has always come to be one country. And if you leave this school without excellent English-language skills, I will have been remiss in my duty to ensure that you are prepared to compete successfully in the American job market. We will learn other languages here — it is deplorable that most Americans only speak English — but if you want classes taught in your native language, rather than in English, this is not your school.

    Third, because I regard learning as a sacred endeavor, everything in this school will reflect learning’s elevated status. This means, among other things, that you and your teachers will dress accordingly. Many people in our society dress more formally for a meal at a nice restaurant than they do for church or school. These people have their priorities backwards. Therefore, there will be a formal dress code at this school.

    Fourth, no obscene language will be tolerated anywhere on this school’s property — whether in class, in the hallways, or at athletic events. If you can’t speak without using the F-word, you can’t speak. By obscene language I mean the words banned by the Federal Communications Commission, plus epithets such as the N-word, even when used by one black student to address another, or “*****,” even when addressed by a girl to a girlfriend. It is my intent that by the time you leave this school, you will be among the few of your age to distinguish instinctively between the elevated and the degraded, the holy, and the obscene.

    Fifth, we will end all self-esteem programs. In this school self-esteem will be attained in only one way (the way people attained it until the state of California decided otherwise a generation ago) — by earning it. One immediate consequence is that there will be one valedictorian, not eight.

    Sixth, and last, I am re-orienting the school toward academics and away from politics and propaganda. No more time will be devoted to scaring you about smoking and caffeine, or terrifying you about sexual harassment or global warming. No more semesters will be devoted to condom-wearing and teaching you to regard sexual relations as only or primarily a health issue. There will be no more attempts to convince you that you are a victim, because you are not white, or not male, or not heterosexual, or not Christian. We will have failed if any one of you graduates from this school and does not consider him or herself inordinately lucky — to be alive and to be an American.

    Now, please stand and join me in the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of our country. As many of you do not know the words, your teachers will hand them out to you.

    Mark reacted to snubber in When Did You Realize That Vaping Was For You?   
    I started out like a lot of people with one of those "SE" mall units. It was ok...kinda fun but not really killing the habit(helping but not killing). I started looking around and found a guy selling a 901. Met him on my way out of town for work and felt like this just might work. Then came my 801 and between the two of them it started to really take hold.
    But I guess my real help came when I found this forum and all the helpful people here. My first interaction was in the chat room with people like Ofortuna, Mark, and a few other regulars that really gave me the encouragement to really try and make this work. So many of the ones that were there for me in the beginning have come and gone, but there are still those that without their help I don't believe I would have really given this vaping thing an honest chance. Well I'm over 200 days now without an analog and it's really been a battle of nerves. But it just keeps getting better and more fun.


    Thanks to all my friends.

    So long as customs doesn't keep busting our chops we'll work over the next few weeks to bring in flavors in VG. I can't guarantee they will taste EXACTLY the same as VG is different from PG but we'll try hard to match them up as close as possible.

    Mark reacted to Christopher in Joye Ego Batterie's   
    Actually...Janty put the cone in place for two reasons.

    1. To prevent liquid from leaking all over the place when a user direct drips. (If your a heavy dripper sometimes liquid will leak out of the atomizer, this was the biggest complaint with the 510/Dura)

    2. To create a warmer draw. When you take a drag on the ego the air is pulled from the top of the cone and down to the bottom next to the atomizer. This causes a warmer draw. (Like a cigarette)

    Although you don't have to use it there was a reason for it

    Mark reacted to Brian in Paying It Forward   
    As you all know, Nana and I won the "Pay it Forward" contest and are now both the proud owners of a Mark's Woody (Thanks again Mark!!!).

    In the spirit of Mark's "pay it forward" contest, Nana and I have teamed up and would like to pay it forward. This contest is for newer vapers and we've tried to put together a prize package that will be beneficial to someone just starting out. To be eligible, you must have a "joined" date between April 1, 2010 and the date of this post. Of course, we can't verify how long someone has bee vaping, but we're asking that you only enter this contest if you started vaping after April 1st, 2010. You also must have 5 posts (so that you can PM).

    The contest will be open until Saturday, May 29th at 6PM EST.

    What do you have to do to win? Just post a reply and say whatever you want, what's on your mind (within the forum rules). Each eligible member can only have one entry. If more than one post is made by a single member, only the first post made will be included in the contest.

    How will the winner be chosen? We'll use the random number method.

    What's up for grabs:
    1. Joye 510 Starter Kit (Brand new "no box" kit ordered from Cygnet - 2 attys, 2 batts, charger, 5 carts).
    2. 510 Hard carry case.
    3. 510 PT
    4. 5 pack of 510 cartomizers.
    5. Some extra carts
    6. Some blue foam
    7. Some fluval foam
    9. Some Pyramid Tea Bags (courtesy of FTJoe)

    and... (drum roll please)

    10. The VT Collection E-Liquid Sample Pack (this will be ordered at the VT Store and shipped directly to you)

    Additionally, I will be going through all the juice I've acquired over the last six months and including everything I don't use, which will probably be 10 to 15 additional bottles of juice from various suppliers. I'll post a list later.

    Good luck and thanks for playing!

    So here is my idea for this contest. Let's "pay it forward". The way the contest will work is you are allowed 1 post per person. In your post you can name any other person on the forum who has somehow either inspired you, Made you laugh, or just in general makes well-written posts or responses.

The winner will receive the Red Palm mod and the person they nominated will receive the Zircote and Maple mod. One entry per person please. Contest is open to ALL members of Vapor Talk (you need to have 5 posts so that I am able to PM you). The contest will end Sunday May 16, 2010 @ 8:00 pm est. Good luck and have fun!!!

    Note: I may post a few times during this contest. In each post I make I will also add 2 names within the post. If my post number is chosen the mods will go to the people mentioned.

    Please note: These mods take a 14500 battery and 510 atty (not supplied)

    I may make an assumption here so I will apologize ahead of time. If you are 18 or older and your parents ground you or wont allow you to make a small credit card purchase. I do apologize for making a statement that does not apply to you. If you are indeed 18 or older and getting grounded by your parents, as a token of my sincere regret, I can refer you to some terrific therapists that you may seek out in the future.

    If you are under 18, it is illegal for you to purchase electronic cigarettes as it is with tobacco based cigarettes. Not only will you cause risk to yourself with the law but you will also cause risk to the vendor that irresponsibly or unknowingly sold these to you. The electronic cigarette industry has been under fire for underage users of this product and these sales to minors are being leveraged to ban electronic cigarettes altogether. For the sake of the people that enjoy or depend on these devices to rid themselves of tobacco, I kindly urge you not to purchase these devices.

    On a personal and humanitarian note, Picking up nicotine in the form of tobacco is one of the stupidest decisions i have ever made and I have made some doozies. I suspect there are others on this forum that feel the same way about the horrible day when they smoked for the first time. If you can stop now, please do, I assure you, avoiding very addictive nicotine now will all you to avoid writing a forum post like I am in the future when you reach your 30's

    good luck!

    We here at VaprLife completely agree with everything
    that Parker @ DietSmokes & Chris @ The Vapor Talk Store
    had to say about rude, verbally abusive customers.

    One cannot help but wonder whatever happened to politeness, good manners,
    and plain old-fashioned courtesy??

    Apparently this is not the first time that this individual in question -
    "John Doe"- has behaved in an offensive and bullying manner
    towards sellers.


    At VaprLife -
    it's always been our policy to treat our customers with politeness, courtesy and respect -
    and by the same token....we expect the same in return.

    And if a customer is going to behave this reprehensibly when dealing with us -
    (any of us) then we have the right to refuse to do business with that particular individual.
    If a buyer attempts to behave in a bullying and disrespectful manner-
    then VaprLife has absolutely no qualms about asking that buyer to take their business elsewhere-

    And it is beyond VaprLife's comprehension why any individual would even
    think we would pander to that sort of bullying behavior in the first place??

    Needless to say- we will not be dealing with this particular individual again-


    All of that being said-
    VaprLife would like to take this opportunity to thank our many loyal customers
    for all their wonderful emails expressing their support of our products-

    We appreciate your business and sincerely thank all of you -
    And we promise we will continue trying to provide you
    with the quality and service you have come to expect from VaprLife

    Have a great evening everyone!

    Well I suppose this is an interesting way for customers to see the other end of things. I'm aware of this customer and had it not been for the rude tickets we received (this isn't the first time) I probably would have sent one of the extra PT's we had laying around. In fact I think this was the same customer who mass emailed 6 suppliers demanding we drop Janty products I believe because USPS delayed his order. (Not the supplier)

    Threats on multiple levels just isn't the way to go around doing things. This particular person has cursed out staff members here on the board as well. And calling the Attorney general? Great that's just what the community needs. I think that may be a little extreme but I suppose if that makes you feel better. Vaprlife works hard to create well built models and we have hundreds of happy customers all aware of the 3 month warranty which is much longer than any supplier would offer on Chinese products. I'm sure members here can attest that anytime a unit is under warranty we send out an RMA asap. Simply sending in the product for repair would have completely refurbished the unit.

    I know personally just this week alone we've had customers curse us out due to units not "creating vapor" only to find out they didn't know how to use the unit correctly. We're more than happy to assist in the processes but cursing myself and my wife out (or anyone else working on the VT Office) via phone or the ticket system will get you nowhere.

    A little bit of courtesy goes a long way.

    Moving on, I personally stand behind Vaprlife, Mary and Jeso 100%. If you don't like the warranty period don't purchase the unit. Threats towards suppliers just isn't acceptable.

    I would also like take a moment to thank all of our great customers who are always polite and courteous to us! We'll always bend over backwards to makes things right for you.
