Im kinda new to all this. Where do u drip it, directly on the atty, and how much ?

O.K. I spent my first FULL day with my new Blu cigs. So for those of you who want to do the math, it takes 24 hours to realize you made 1 really bad move. I bought 5, 2 fer me, 2 fer me son, and 1 fer me wife (shes a light smoker). My sons seem to be o.k. Me and my wifes suck !. Literally. I can suck on it like a golf ball thru a garden hose which produces a buzz much like climbing Mt. Everest but produces ABSOLUTELY no vapor or throat hit. If thats not bad enuff, my USB charger doesnt work, and NONE of the LEDs on my PCCs do what theyre supposed to, so I have NO IDEA if theyre charged or not, unless I time them. Which you should probably do anyway, but thats not the point. I paid A LOT of money fer those LEDs to WORK. So I call C.S. and talk to someone who OBVIOUSLY could give a friggin rats derrier what my problem was, as she RUDELY interrupted me bfore I was halfway done with my first sentence to say " check your e mail for an RMA to send it back". I WASNT EVEN CONSIDERING SENDING IT BACK ! I dint even get the chance to SAY all of the problems I was having. It was like she just has this paper in front of her that reads " First say Hello, then say Check your email".
So- to EVERYONE who told me "Dont do it youll be sorry" , I apologize, I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED. You were right.
I am ordering my 501 from awesomevapor tomorrow !

You know, being a heavy smoker and stressin about being able to afford them, I always wondered, " When I get to heaven will there be a never ending cigarette ?". Well , I musta died .......

Also, prohibition came about from the minds of a select few who annointed themselves with the power to decide what is best for the masses. Our nation had just fought a war, our economy was in the tank, and the powers that were took the moral high road and made the people obey. Hmmmm, the 1920s werent much different from today

I was 15. I didnt even inhale for the first 4 months. Cig ads had no effect at all, anymore than tv ads do today. I STILL dont have a Snuggie. Nor do I drink Budwieser. Those of us who were taught to rationally think for ourselves arent really influenced by razzle dazzle advertisments. Thats what infuriates me about SB400, If you eliminate ALL forms of tobacco ads, and if you make tobacco itself illegal, kids and adults are GOING to find a way to get it. A new Al Capone will be born. Didnt we learn ANYTHING from prohibition. Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.

Well, Its been about a week since I got my 510, so heres an update. The thing runs like a Buick ! Clouds of vapor, strong throat hits ( I wind up hacking a lot of the time for taking in too much), great experience. My batts are lasting about 4-5 hours, and I vape A LOT. Every once in a while, I will put it down and give my Blu a shot. Theres just NO comparison. Im giving it time to prime the atty, I;m being patient now because I KNOW I have a good machine waiting for me, It just does not come close to meeting my standards, which arent that high. I am sure the people at BLU are very nice people, and Im sure they are just as frustrated as we are, but honestly, pack it up and go home.

Just in case anyone hasnt heard, Blu has sent an e mail to everyone to IMMEDIATLY stop using their PCC's to charge as they pose a fire hazard. Check out the web site for info

Yeah, Im vapin all the time. My problem is I keep a pack of analogs with me as a security blanket. I was a HEAVY smoker and am still afraid to go cold turkey. Im down from 3-4 packs a day to 1, so Im proud of myself for that, but feel like a chicken for that 1 pack. GOTTA have an analog when I wake up. But Im workin on that too.

By the way I looked up Priapism, and here it is from Wilkipedia
"Priapism (Ancient Greek: πριαπισμός) is a potentially harmful and painful medical condition in which the erect clitoris[1] or penis does not return to its flaccid state, despite the absence of both physical and psychological stimulation, within four hours. Priapism is considered a medical emergency, which should receive proper treatment by a qualified medical practitioner.

The name comes from the Greek god Priapus, referring to the myth that he was punished by the other gods for attempting to rape a goddess, by being given a massive, but useless, set of wooden genitals."

Now THATS a woodie !

Hey guys, time to start worrying a little more. Read this article from today in the Lakeland Ledger here in Floriduh

Big Brother is getting bigger !

The scary thing to me about Obama is he is NOT qualified to do the job. Not that anyone can BE prepared to do that job, but he is probably the LEAST qualified of all the candidates that ran. He is already showing his ineptitude with all the "czar" appointments, Like this country doesnt have enough beaurocracy to begin with. He is nothing more than a slick talker, who hob nobbed with all the RIGHT people (Oprah), and told everyone what they wanted to hear. I am NOT racist by any means, I have NO USE for anyone that is, but tell me, if it were a WHITE candidate who spoke EVERY word that he spoke during the campaign, would as many Black voters have turned out ? This was the most racially motivated election in the history of America. And Joe Biden , PULEASE !!! Put him a friggin heartbeat away from the Oval office. Dear God in heaven, what were we thinking. Nancy Pelosi, shes as close to a card carrying socialist as they come. And, to be fair, the Republicans dont offer up much better. They are ALL, Democrat and Republican, self serving egotistical robots who are ALL SO out of touch with mainstream America its pathetic. And almost EVERY politician in this country has one thing in common. THEY ARE ALL LAWYERS. THATS where the problem with this country stems from. We are being run by litigators, not representitives. Shakespear was right - "First, we kill all the lawyers ".

This whole situation makes me sick. I dont care if hes white, black, red, green or blue. He is taking the Presidency and making a mockery of it. Acting more like a rock star than a public servant. Hes nothing more than a false prophet. and if I make my feelings known, I will be labeled a racist. These are DANGEROUS times we live in. I believe Democracy as we know it is going to run its course in our lifetime. We are repeating History, and not heeding the lessons once learned.

Heres the link from today on Foxnews.com

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09/24/elementary-school-students-reportedly-taught-songs-praising-president-obama/

I have NEVER heard of this for ANY President we have ever had. I HAVE seem this done in North Korea and China. This really makes my stomach turn. I mean, I dont like the guy or his views, but he is my President and I will respect him, this however is RIDICULOUS. And if HE doesnt speak up about it and make them stop, then he MUST have a different agenda than we previously thought.

WTF !! I SWEAR, It seems like Democracy as we know it will be GONE in our lifetime, definitly in our childrens lifetime. Did you guys see the report on the news about the school in N.J. making the kids sing "Praise to Obama" ? The lyrics sound like some ducking Chairman Mao song !!! Here they are as printed by Fox News -

Song 1:
Mm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said that all must lend a hand
To make this country strong again
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said we must be fair today
Equal work means equal pay
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said that we must take a stand
To make sure everyone gets a chance
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said red, yellow, black or white
All are equal in his sight
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

Yes!
Mmm, mmm, mm
Barack Hussein Obama

Song 2:
Hello, Mr. President we honor you today!
For all your great accomplishments, we all doth say "hooray!"

Hooray, Mr. President! You're number one!
The first black American to lead this great nation!

Hooray, Mr. President we honor your great plans
To make this country's economy number one again!

Hooray Mr. President, we're really proud of you!
And we stand for all Americans under the great Red, White, and Blue!

So continue ---- Mr. President we know you'll do the trick
So here's a hearty hip-hooray ----

Hip, hip hooray!
Hip, hip hooray!
Hip, hip hooray!

What the HELL is this country coming to ?
Someone PLEASE gimme a reason NOT to move to CANADA

Happy Birthday. Yes Chris, this is a GREAT thing youve started. Ive owned a computer for about 12 years now, and this is the FIRST forum Ive ever tried. I joined when I was researching before I purchased, and I just felt like I was at home from the first visit. Since, Ive tried out a couple of other forums, but this is BY FAR the one I come to the most. Kinda my home space. Vapor Talk serves an invaluable need to vapers. Keep up the good work, and thanks to all of the great members here who always make me feel welcome.

Sounds like you bought from the same company that sold me those fu@*#ing "Magic Beans"

I got my Blu about a week ago.I did a TON of reasearch beforeI purchased, and I also picked Blu because of the starter kit, it seemed like you got more bang for your buck. They had the sleekest web site and seemed like a real, i dont know, "professional" appearance. I had NO wait time, my order processed and shipped the next day.So no problems there. Having used it for a week, I gotta say, I'm REAL dissapointed. Now, I'm new to vaping, so I did a LOT of research first. I had heard a lot of horror stories about Blu, but I heard just as many positive things. So I kinda figured it would be hit or miss. It was a BIG miss, by a mile. The biggest problem I have is it doesnt do WHAT THEY SAY it will do. I know they're just machines, and I knew it wasnt going to be exactly like smoking, but with the Blu I was spending more time TRYING to get a good vape and/or throat hit than anything. And I mean I tried EVERYTHING, short toke, long toke, primer puff, dip, drip,EVERYTHING. No matter what I tried I just could NOT get a consistantly good vape. I wound up smoking analogs out of disgust. Now, today I recieved my 510 from Awesome Vapor. Let me tell you, the difference is Night and Day. The price was the same as Blu, and you DONT get the PCC or multiple chargers. But let me tell you, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. It is WELL worth the extra money for accesories for a 510 that works as it should, as opposed to getting all the bells and whistles that DONT work. And I dont want to sound like a pitchman, but Arno at Awesome Vapor IS THE BEST. Just check the other forums on here, his rep is UNBLEMISHED. Do yourself a favor if youre serious about vaping, start with a 510 and if you dont like it, THEN get a Blu. If you go with Blu first, your gonna get the 510 eventually.
My banner below says I've been "smoke free" for 7 days, but I've been cheating because of Blu.

I think Ofortuna said it best. Get both. But if u cant afford that, its just like an e cig, whats good for 1 may not be as good for another.

Maybe its because mine is new, but Im getting a good HOUR or more out of a cart. Im putting more than 3 - 4 drips in though, I pull out the padding, put 3-4 drops INthe cart, put the padding back and then another 3-4 drops. Vapes like a monster.

I call mine Betty. shes SMMMMOKIN ! But I go by the model # too. Its just easier to remember

Thats an "Atomizer", the device that heats up in your e cig that produces the vapor. Its the part between your cartridge and battery.
Other terms -
batt - battery
cart - cartridge
vape - you dont "smoke" anymore - with e cigs you "Vape"
Theres a lot more in terminoligy (sic?) but youll get the hang of it, Im still learning too.

Ive tried and tried, but I dont see a way to add a comment. It says it was over sept. 29

OK. Time for weekly question. I vape alot, at least I THINK I do, I have no one around me to gauge it. My concern is, am I gonna blow this bad boy up ? ( Im talkin bout 510 manual, I totally gave up on my blu). I tried dripping on the atty, and it works great, but I have to KEEP doing it every 10- 15 minutes. Will that hurt it, burn it up. And when I fill the cart, Im not sure if Im filling it too soon. I really cant tell if its dry or not. I still get a lot of vapor after QUITE a while, ( 45 minutes, maybe), but NO flavor, so I refill. Is that too soon. ? I guess what Im asking is can you overfill these?

Thats communisms version of capitolism

OK I missed something. WHO is the thief that I shoukd stay away from. I HATE thieves.
