this poll is a bit biased.
So I expect mostly yeses(??) (first time I ever had to pluralize yes)
I always vape in my own office. I didn't smoke in my office though.

I am definitely an RY4 hoarder. Every juice order I make has RY4 on it.

But, Sin I would bet that you WERE supervised, and didnt know it. I too got away with a TON of crap. You know what they say, cops kids are the worst (my dad was a cop). But, I found out in later years, he KNEW about most of the crap I did ! He just didnt intervene all the time, only when he deemed it necessary. I did the same with my kids (who are now all grown productive members of society). They THOUGHT they were getting away with stuff, but I always, or almost always knew what they were up to. The problem Im talkin about are the kids today who are OUTWARDLY out of control, right in front of thier parents and everybody else. I cant remember the last time I went to the store and DIDNT see some child running around like an absolute MONSTER while the parent was busy talking to somebody or doing something else. I have been rammed a hundred times by a kid who is running around the store with a shopping cart unsupervised. Those kind of things were just UNHEARD of when I was growing up. When these kids get home, then theyre runnin around the streets unsupervised. Then they have kids .....
Sorry I'll try to keep my monsters away from you next time.

I am glad to hear everything turned out OK in the end.

Ploom Pods are single-serving tobacco and non-tobacco capsules used in the Ploom model One. They are filled with the highest quality ingredients including whole leaf tobacco, premium tea, botanicals, and all-natural gourmet flavors. Ploom Pods are made from anodized, food-grade aluminum and are sealed with a food safe film just like the ones used for oven-safe foods.
In order to vaporize our flavor blends, we add glycerin and propylene glycol because they form a pleasing vapor when gently heated, consistent with the temperatures at which the flavor of tobacco and other botanicals is released. These ingredients are sourced domestically from trusted suppliers.
Once the Pod is spent, it is 100% recyclable.
whole-leaf tobacco?
food-grade aluminum?
butane fumes?
carbon dioxide and possibly carbon monoxide?
I'll stick with the true vaporizers.

I also have the sample pack from Arno. I have not touched any of the tobacco flavors except Marlboro. But I will put my input in on the ones I did run through. The rest are backups when and if I ever get short on the others I have.
Marlboro 18mg - 2nd favorite. Sweeter smelling than 555, and the throat hit was less intense than the 555, but still nice and strong. Again, 2-3 drops of menthol does wonders
I have this in the 36mg strength. I absolutely love this one when I am needing a real analog. I was a Marlboro Red smoker and it really hits the spot for me. This is the one that stomped all cravings for the analog in for first couple weeks.
RY4 18mg - Tasted like tobacco and caramel. I didn't enjoy this at first, but the more I vaped it, the more I enjoyed it.
RY4 is my favorite flavor so far. It's the one I vape on everyday with a random kicker flavor dripped in every couple hours to clean the palette.
Menthol 18mg - Zoomg what a great flavor!! It has more of a pepperminty taste than a straight up menthol, but apparently I enjoy that! A perfect addition to almost all the other liquids
I was never a menthol smoker in the 20 years of smoking but I love this one. Great to add to the horrible tasting juices. So far that list is butterscotch from myvaporstore.com and cheesecake from liquidxpress. Both I think are bad batches. Saves me from having to trash them completely.
Coffee 18mg - I wasn't too impressed with this coffee flavor. It definitely tasted like coffee, but it tasted like coffee that had been sitting on the counter for a week.
This one did not taste like coffee to me but more like an unsweetened mocha flavor with a coffee bean aftertaste.
Good with the menthol mixed in though.
Banana 18mg - The smell of this liquid is really nice. Reminded me of the banana runt candy. The taste however-for me at least wasn't very pleasant. It wasn't as clear as I had hoped, and it gave me a headache. =/
I was looking forward to this one. But was not impressed. Definitely a banana taste but very weak.
Apple 18mg - I was really excited to try the apple flavor...and I was ridiculously disappointed. At first I couldn't taste much, baarely any apple at all, but the more I vaped on it, the more it tasted like bad popuri. I'm really glad that my liquids from parked came in when they did, because I really would have rather suffered through the now gross tasting analogs than have to vape this apple. Really, really bad flavor (imho)
Apple is so weak I didnt care for it either but I did vape it all away with no problems so I cant say it was horrible.

I agree, that was just incredible. But, I mustve been under a rock for awhile, I dont know the background to the song. And, it sounded like she was saying " a tissue, a tissue, we all fall down"
Ring a ring a rosie
A pocketful of posies
a-tishoo!, a-tishoo!. (or a tissue, a tissue)
We all fall down.
Supposedly this refers to the plague. There are many versions of the song. No one really knows the orgins of it or really the meanings of it. It supposed to be a song similar to our own Lizzy Borden jump rope song.
Lizzie Borden took an axe
And gave her mother forty whacks.
When she saw what she had done
She gave her father forty-one.

He is one of my favorite reviewers. Great little short production!
Man that was a bit freaky. Especially when you consider how creepy that song is knowing its background. How many lost souls are there walking around because of this one event in history?

First off, I am sorry for reviving an old thread but I didn't think this post warranted a new thread.
I received my Janty Stick in the mail today. Diet Smokes has yet to get them in stock so I ordered mine from the UK. It took 9 days to receive it and cost me an extra $15 but it arrived just fine. Ordered from smokejuice.co.uk. It arrived amazingly with a low bridge atomizer similar to what Arno sells but with the Janty name etched to the brass ring. The differences are only on the battery side. This has 2 very large air holes instead of the 4 small ones in Arno's. It also has a number 0809 crudely stamped on the positive battery connection. I assume this is either the month/year of manufacture or a tracking number for tracking atomizers. The rest of it is exact.
I did have a little problem getting the atty to seat correctly but I anticipated this from all the reviews around. I have a dry erase marker that fits tightly into the top of the 801 atomizers that helps greatly to get the leverage needed to tighten it enough. I had also planned to add a manual battery extension inside the Stick if I experienced serious issues with this connection like I have heard in the reviews and complaints about it. That way once I got the extension to seat I wouldn't have issues with getting the atty to seat anymore. But right now this isn't necessary and I would prefer not to have it sticking out anymore than it already does.
Vapor production from the atty is exactly like the low bridge from Arno. So this is definitely not the atty in all of the reviews I have seen for the Stick.
I am truly impressed with the built-in usb charging. I can now plug it in wherever I have access to electricity. Car, office or home I am completely covered. Even if I am away from a source for an extended period I can always change out the battery for a fresh one. I now have a convenient clip-on carrying case that holds a couple extra batteries and still room for the stick and a small bottle of juice.
So as far as 3.7 volts is concerned I have the setup I was looking for. An extra Stick for backup and I am set.
5.0 volts I am waiting on the VP3. Unless something else comes out that gives me all of the features of the Stick at 5.0 volts. And I have heard Janty is working on that as well.
Impressed truly impressed!

I had to do the same thing with the 901 to get the hit I liked. Then I discovered if I over-tightened the atomizer, the sheath would turn and I could adjust the airflow that way. But too much playing around with it and I broke the wires connecting the connector to the atomizer. So I don't suggest it. It takes about an 1/8 of a turn before the hole becomes adjustable. After thought, I could have taped the hole shut and then opened it back up to suit my tastes. Hindsight is 20/20.

Very top, just to the right of center, looks like a tragedy comedy mask.

What does a siberian look like ? Do they have really short fur ? A cat that acts like a dog I can tolerate. Every cat weve ever had owned US. Im sure my post made me sound like a hater, but really Im not. Ive just never had a cat that I can bond with like a dog. Our Dachshund is really like part of the family, one of the kids. He wants NOTHING but to be RIGHT by our side at all times. Not in the way, just there.
http://www.freewebs.com/siberiankitten/whatisasiberian.htm
They have long fur, but they only shed twice a year instead of all damn year long like a normal cat. The Siberian cat would be a perfect match for the dachshunds. They both love attention. My mom used to be a breeder, I hated them. We had several become paralyzed so when the mother died that was the end of them.
They definitely don't own you like a normal cat will. It is curious about what you are doing all the time. Call its name and it will be there in seconds. Pull in the drive and its in the window or at the door waiting on you. It will follow you everywhere.
Now I've heard everything, a cat that plays fetch! PLLLEEEEAAASSSSEEEE!!!!
This cat looks a lot like ours. Ours isn't quite that big yet though.
Proof of a Siberian Cat playing fetch
The Siberian cat is the most dog-like out of any cat I know. But they are not cheap you will spend anywhere from $800 to $2400 for one and usually have to wait on a list for 6 months before you ever get to pick one out. It's also 1 of 3 cats that are considered hypo-allergenic, a huge plus in our house. The other 2 don't really look like cats.

So here is the deal. Nicotine by it's very nature smells. That's right it doesn't have a great odor. As you might guess, when it's added to distilled water and glycerine (which are virtually without flavor or odor), the resulting mixture smells pretty bad and, hence, tasted pretty bad. Most E-Liquid almost invariably included some form of acid (often, citric or acetic). Some suppliers choose citric acid as a better choice. By the way the PH level in your mouth is around 7-7.2 so by bringing the ph down to that level, significantly reduced the nicotine odor and taste but yet has no major effect on the hit and adds no new flavor.
Excellent response!
I am glad to hear the acid is being used to neutralize the base liquid and not to provide throat hit.
-
I saw this commercial the other day. Been thinking about running android on my AT&T Tilt phone to give it a test run.
-
I have worked with a lot of chemicals in the industrial cleaning industry when I still had a normal job. I could see where the citric acid would help with the fruit flavors. But to me the throat hit feels more like I just drank a glass of mild caustic water. Yes I have done this before. Not hard to do when you have your solutions sitting next to your drinking glass. I wish I had a ph meter to test some of these liquids with the strong throat hit. Maybe someone that has a PH meter laying around could let us know the PH levels of some of these liquids.
I really don't see the benefit of vaping a liquid into our lungs that is not a true neutral of 7.00 PH. The tissues in our lungs are very fragile. It's not like drinking a soda that is typically around a 2 or 3 on a PH meter. The stomach is full of acid anyway. The lungs aren't used to inhaling high(base) or low(acidic) PH levels.
If it is true these liquids are adjusted to be high or low on PH just to give a throat hit. I will have to invest in a meter and neutralize these liquids.

Personally, I think cats are a waste of fur. Im sure they have thier place on the food chain, but they make me sneeze and itch and serve no earthly purpose as a pet. We have a 2 year old dachshund, and I will NEVER get another type of dog. They are the most loyal animals Ive ever known. Unfortunately, they have a Napoleon complex, they think they can compete with a Rottweiler, so you have to keep an eye on them.
We have 2 people in our house allergic to cats. That is why we got the Siberian cat. It is considered to be hypoallergenic.
Neither one of them has ever had a reaction to it. The bred is a little strange as its the only breed that has some dog-like behaviors. It will meet you at the door. Likes to be walked. Likes constant attention. Will play fetch with you. If you ever consider a cat that is the one to get.

Don't play with PG around your cats or leave it where they can get into it or be exposed. It is highly toxic to them and will kill them. I would hate for someone to find this out the hard way. Be sure to clean up any PG you spill or leave around when refilling your carts. I don't think blowing the vapor at them will kill them I'm sure it would take a lot of it that way, but the liquid form is a no no for them for sure!!!
Interesting!
I dug this up for those interested.

AAP CALLS FOR TOBACCO-FREE ENVIRONMENTS FOR ALL CHILDREN
They are calling to ban "electronic cigarettes" (Can we stop marketing them as that?)
-
As a needed note, members, please don't start putting juice on your lips, I don't recommend it at all!
LOL....way to throw in the disclaimer!
I guess there is a reason PG is used in lotions, lipstick, moisturizers, soft dog food, etc..
PG is a humectant, which basically means it will absorb water from the air and wont allow the material its used in to dry out.
Your observation seems very logical to me.

Good lord
Moving this to The Lounge...
Hey its ecig related. And funny too!
-
I think it shouldn't be connected with any juice supplier. It could have a weekly flavor from a different supplier every week.
-
Seems like a large percentage of us got zapped by the poor quality ecigs before we did a little research and ordered a real PV. But it was enough to get us interested in them and we are glad it happened now. You have found a great community! Welcome!!

I would put my unwanted stuff up if I had any.
