  1. If that's the case you can use just about any kind of tank you want on the battery. Remember the old Kanger CE4 clearomizer that went with the eGo batteries? Even one of those will work but you probably want another tank like what was on it? Personally, I like the Aspire tanks. The Triton 2 was my go-to for a warm to cool vape with a 1.8 Ohm coil. Most tanks these days come with sub-ohm coils for denser clouds. That wasn't what I was going for. My goal was to keep off the cigarettes and to eventually get off vaping altogether, which I finally did a couple of years ago. Until then, I amassed quite a few new gadgets and lots of tanks to keep me off the nasty sticks. LOL

    Hope some of this helps?

  2. Hi. While I'm not a doctor, I would think that the fluids in the lungs came from something else like a viral or bacterial infection. You can't always trust what you see on the internet, this included, although I try to give my two cents with nothing but truth from my own experience(s), and/or from those who have my trust. For what it's worth I started vaping to get off of cigarettes in May, 2012.

    That said, were you aware that 25 mg of nic (salt or otherwise), is the same as smoking a pack of Marlboro reds? Unless you were a heavy smoker going through a pack and a half a day, 35 mg is too much. 50 mg is a definite no. Using this much nic, it'll be that much harder to quit - if that's your goal.

  3. Can you give us some more information on this? Does it do anything when you plug it in? Does the display or any lights come on? Have you tried other charging cords to see if that's the problem? Is this a new devise or is it older? Have you dropped it? More information will be very helpful for us to try to help you.

  4. I took your survey but you really needed questions about seasonal or non-seasonal allergies to get a better representation. I have respiratory issues (coughing, sputum, wheezing, shortness of breath, etc.) because of allergies. We just found black mold in our house because of a slow leak we didn't know we had (it could've been there for a year), and once we got it mitigated, most of the worst allergy symptoms went away. When there's little to no pollen in the air, I'm totally  fine. Also, I have a bad hip that makes moving around and doing physical activities next to impossible, it's not because I smoked or used e-cigarettes.

    When I had smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for 35 years, I went to a smoking cessation class being given by two very experienced Respiratory Therapists. They used me as an example of what bad lungs smokers had. They had me expel a lungful of air as fast as I could into a machine. Most smokers and former smokers can only expel maybe up to 40% of the air in their lungs in ten seconds. That's what they expected anyway, but I pulled a 94% on my first try and 97% the second time, which is pretty good for someone who never smoked but not something you'd expect from a smoker. I was a bad example for how bad cigarette smoke is for lungs. At that time, I was running 2 - 3 miles per day 4 times a week, which might have contributed to my overall lung capacity.

    Anyway, good luck with your survey!

    Do you know if I will be let on a plane if I carry liquid tobacco-free liquid fully packed. I wanted to travel with only my carry-on luggage, but I am not sure they will let me in.

    The last time I traveled on a plane, which was a few years ago, as long as it was in one of those 3 oz. bottles and fit into the quart-sized baggie, it went through with no problems. Anything bigger and it won't be allowed on a carry-on. Just double check with the airline you're booked on. They all have a page that tells you what's allowed and what's not.

  6. Without knowing the brand and model of your vaping device, it's hard to give you instructions, but most pen-types will work if you just suck on it. If there's no button, it's one of those. If there is a button, click it five times. There should be a light that will flash a few times. I hope that helps.

  7. What's the PG/VG ratio of your eliquid? Depending on what kind of tank you're using, too much VG can gum up the coil.

    VG = thicker liquid, slightly sweeter, more vapor

    PG = thinner liquid, more throat hit, less vapor

    If you can change the ratio of PG/VG, do it a little at a time, vape to see if that's enough to stop the cracked lips. Also, try to be more conscious of how often you're licking your lips (especially around the corners). Because of the cracking, it might be that you're licking your lips more often therefore exacerbating the problem.

  8. From what you wrote, it could be a number of things. First, when you "hydrate", are you drinking plain water or are you drinking sodas, coffee, tea or energy drinks? Plain water is best from my experience. Next, it could be the flavors you're vaping. Try something bakery related or a non-acidic fruit, if possible. Give those a try and let us know if it helped. Vaping can be a lot of hit and miss things. Once you get past that, it can be a lot of fun as well as a way to get off nicotine. Good luck!

  9. Never used puff counters even when my batteries had them. My vaping would vary so much depending on stress factors that it wouldn't be of any use to me. Some days I would chain vape while other days I might go hours without taking a hit. I know some people like to keep track so it's useful for them. Do you use it?
