    I'm with Mark (that's hard to say). Why waste perfectly good booze on an atty when hot water will do the same thing.
    My suggestion...put the atty's in very hot water...drink the everclear....sit back and say "the hell with the atty's let's just get drunk".

    snubber reacted to mastiffmom in Interesting Tidbits   
    Yesterday I contact my employer's benefits office to make sure they had received my fax about my choices. I don't take their ins. but do take a few suppliments, anyway they are starting a smoking penalty so I wanted to make sure they knew I was a non-smoker. Lady tells me I don't have to worry as I have other coverage, I say you don't understand I am 101 days smoke-free I just want that known(ok pretty happy about this). She asked how I did it, I explained, she was very excited and said she is going to pass this along to others. I explained it isn't a smoking cessation device, LOL, but for me I didn't want to smoke anymore. She was very excited anyway. Then my director stopped in office, asked how I was doing with my electric thingy, I told her. She has been recommending this to other smokers in our network. Then I find out that one of our cardiology nurses is using ecig and having the same success as I am. I have had several people stop me in the halls or call me to inquire where to get these. Small steps I know but like a ripple in pond it can grow. Just wanted to put my 2 cents in about medical community using or recommending vaping.

    It does sound kind of confusing at first, but it will all become second nature after a while. And there is a kind of learning curve to all this.
    Most places have pre-filled carts in their kits and you pretty much get what they think you want. But some vendors offer different flavors with their kits or even blanks that you can fill yourself. Shop around and see what you can find. I think PureSmoker.com is having a sale on their Ego kits right now You might want to check. And I think Chris gives a free bottle of juice with his kits so don't pass up the VT store.
    What ever you decide on don't forget to get extra carts, or cartomizers, and a couple atty's. Not good to run out especially when just starting out.
    As far as menthol...I'm hooked on the VaporTalk Mentha. Really good strong menthol flavor(to me anyway) . You will find menthols at almost every vendor and you just need to try several till you find the one that's right for you in strength and mg's. But flavor is different for everybody so just because someone says this is great or this is bad...you really have to judge for yourself. Well good choice in both units and forums. If you have more questions we are all here to help.


    Good luck and happy vaping.

    snubber got a reaction from Uma in Ego Mega Carto's And The Vt/pt   
    I don't know if anyone else has tried this yet, I just gave it a try today to see if it would fit.
    The Ego mega cartomizers, the 2.5ml ones with the skirt, will work on the VT/PT. I have one of those brass colored adapters on my pt so I can use 510's and while I was using one of the Boge carto's I got to wondering if the mega's would work. Sure enough, it fit right down over the adapter and connected just fine to the contact. So I was vaping with my VT/PT using a mega carto filled with VT Exotic. Not a bad way to go. It is a little stronger throat hit of course and a much warmer vapor, but if you find a juice you really like you can give this a try.
    Tell me what you think of it. TKS.

    snubber got a reaction from Uma in Regular 510 Vs. Mega Atty   
    I can't really comment on the mega atty's since I've never tried one. But I have just started using the mega carto's and I personally think they're pretty damn good. Especially when you're out and about. Filling them is kind of a pain at first, but once you've got it filled it will last a good long time before you need to top off again.
    I've also been using the 2.0 LR carto's by Boge and I have to tell you that they are fantastic. Great vapor, good flavor and they too last quite some time before top-off. Not as long as the mega's of course but still very long compared to regular carts. I highly recommend them. Also the regular carto's by Boge are great on a 5v unit. Again, tons of vapor and great throat hit.
    So that's my $.02 worth. Hope you find something you like.


    Good luck and happy vaping.

    Don't give up on the juices you were so-so about. You may find out later that as your taste buds start to change you start liking these flavors more.
    It was that way for me and a few flavors I wasn't too crazy about at first, but in time they turned out to be quite good.
    Glad you're liking the vaping life.

    I'll try to make this short. Walking through the mall today with my big blue Ego and as I started to pass the "white cloud" kiosk the guy working there said" what's that? So of course I stopped and showed him. We struck up a conversation about the differences between his units and the Ego. At first he tried to give me the sales talk about how his lasted a long time and all (you know the pitch). So we're talking and vaping and the Ego is just blowing his little device away. He's new to vaping so he's really uninformed except what he's learned for work. Ok...so he's liking the Ego and I put on my 2.0 LR carto filled with Midnight. He has those little condom covers for people to try his stuff with so I let him try my Midnight. He's floored! Then I give him another Ego, this one has Mentha...now he's staggering. One more try with Exotic Tobacco...he's down for the count. Well to wrap this up...after some more talking I've given him back one of his cards with Vaportalk.com written on it. He's going to check us out. Wants to see about the Ego and he's working again Fri. and I should stop bye again for more info. I think I'll take him some sample bottles of Vt juices, that should clinch it. End of story.

    p.s. sometimes this is just so much fun. (like shooting fish in a barrel)

    snubber got a reaction from Mark in Which One Should I Get?   
    Well first off let me say that if you're serious about quitting the analogs then you need to get the "has to look and feel like a real cig" out the window. Many of us wanted that when we started(myself included) and we quickly found out how much that doesn't matter. In fact most of the really good mods for vaping look nothing like an analog. There are lots of different things to think about when you get an e-cig. Battery life is usually the biggest, then comes size of the device. You will get a lot of us telling you to go with the Ego/Tornado type of unit. No..it doesn't look anything like an analog, but the battery life and performance is what really counts. There's also the choice of auto or manual. Most but not all go for the manual type of button. That's because they are sealed batteries and you don't have to worry about juice getting down in them and killing the battery. Also most auto's have a cut-off built in them that shuts off the draw after a few seconds. Usually around 10sec or so. This makes vaping tough sometimes. Plus a lot of vapers like to direct drip for better vapor production and flavor. Like I said there are many things to consider when buying an e-cig besides just looks. Also, those whimpy little carts that come with the smaller units wont hold much liquid and you will either be buying lots or replacements or will start refilling them yourself to save some money. Trust me...they don't last as long as a pack of regular analogs...ask anyone who has tried them. My suggestion would be to do some more searching on the forum. Really ask yourself if you want to quit or just want to enjoy vaping between analogs. The VaporTalk store has some great products plus if you are really stuck on that analog look Chris is running a clearance sale on one that fits into the analog look a like category for half price. Not a bad place to start until you see what vaping is really all about.
    I'm sorry this is sooo long, but I could go on more. So good luck in your search and try to get that look-a-like notion out and think more about what works best.

    Good luck and happy vaping.

    If this is your first day with the atty you may also be getting some of the after taste of the primer(nasty).
    Like every one has already told you flavors are different for everyone. When I first started out I couldn't tell one flavor from another except for the menthol ones. It takes time so don't worry it will get better. Also, if you find a flavor that is kinda to your liking and it just doesn't have enough flavor for you you could always try adding a little more flavor from one of the DIY shops. I did it with peach till I got it where I wanted it. Now I make several of my own juices so I can get the flavor as strong as I like. But first and formost...get some more attys or cartos. You really can't do very well with only one atty. And if it goes out you're stuck. So as "nana" says get back-ups!!!!

    Good luck and happy vaping.

    Welcome to the forum. You've found a great place and as you can see lots of helpful people.
    I have to agree with everyone that the Ego/Tornado is your best choice if you don't have to have that cigarette look and feel. But if you really want to start out with a smaller unit why not try one of the less expensive disposable 510 units. They cost around $10.00 and will give you some idea of what vaping is all about and what changing and charging batteries is like. I would also suggest that if the smaller unit is what you like then go with a 510 with a manual (push-button) battery. Those little carts on the smaller e-cigs don't last very long and you will have to either change them out or refill them constantly. The manual batteries are sealed and liquid wont get down into your battery and mess them up.
    My biggest suggestion is do a little more research both here on the forum and on other sites like Youtube and get some info before you jump in with both feet. I didn't when I started and paid heavy for it. There's just so much more to learn about this vaping life than just buying a unit and puffing away. But when you get the hang of it it's one great way to kick the cigarette habit and a lot of fun doing it. Keep asking questions and everyone here will be more than willing to help you out. Hope to hear how it went with you, keep us informed .
    Bottom line...get the pink Ego!! Also like kitsune said..if you're home at the computer a lot look int a good passthrough.

    Good luck and happy vaping.
