And just when they'd reinvented the Twinkie by dunking it in batter and deep frying the things... Just recently the SO decided he wanted a Twinkie so I bought a box. It's been years since I've even looked at them and the amount of oil/grease that was on the wrapper! OMG. I will miss Wonder bread, though. *sighs*

Can You Have A 100% Pg Organic Flavor?
Tam replied to willmon22's topic in General eLiquid Discussion
If you figure that petroleum was once organic matter some several millions of years ago...does that count? -
Can You Have A 100% Pg Organic Flavor?
Tam replied to willmon22's topic in General eLiquid Discussion
The 100% organic/VG liquids that I bought from Virgin Vapors worked fine with my T2s, never tried them in any of my CE4 or CE5. They are a bit thick though so I just added a drop or two of distilled water and mixed until I got the liquid down to a thinner level. That's just my experience with them. -
Great idea although I prefer to keep mine upright. Less chance it'll leak. These days you can find some really fancy toothbrush holders. That's what I use for my eGo batteries and they work like a charm!

Has Anyone Tried The Organic Herbal E-Liquid?
Tam replied to kmarshall's topic in General eLiquid Discussion
Haven't tried any from Guilty Pleasures but I have tried some organic watermelon, Kona milkshake, honey dew and a couple of other flavors from Virgin Vapors. They were good but didn't knock my socks off like other places. I think it's just a matter of what you want and what suits your tastebuds. I'm glad you found something that works for you! Hmmm. Might have to give them a try, I love orange and citrus. -
The V2 brand is just a stepping stone to bigger and better things. There are so many options in batteries, atomizers, clearomizers/tanks, cartomizers, various accessories and so many different flavors of e-liquids that make my head swim just thinking of them all! When you're ready... it'll all be waiting for you. The folks here who are veteran vapors will be here, too, to help answer all your questions.
-
With a different set up you'll find so many options -- e-liquid flavors, delivery systems, the choices are limited by how much money you want to spend. Congrats on switching to e-cigs and welcome to VT!
-
Thanks, Lindsay. I did try it on all the different settings on both the twist and the spinner with the same effect so I guess we'll just chalk this one up as a dud and chuck the thing.
-
Ha! I just hadn't found the right combination yet until I tried it again tonight. A 3.5 ohm 901 at 4.0 on a Twist with Sweet-Vapes' 12 mg, 70/30 PG/VG mix of Pineapple Upside Down Cake... OMG. *dies* I think I just found heaven!
-
That thought crossed my mind but I wanted to check first to make sure. Thanks for the info and the advice!
-
Doesn't matter how long I've been doing whatever, Rixter, I still don't know what I'm doing on any given day. Yes, I've gotten the 901s and have used them. They're a bit different from the 510s I've been using. I'm still not sure what I think of them but they've been pretty good so far! Thanks for the rec. They're nice to switch off to...

I have an eGo twist and a Vision Spinner that I tried it on at all the different settings. It still gives off a very harsh vapor that gives me a sore throat.
-
Okay, so I've been direct dripping for a little while now. So far I've had wonderful luck with all the various atomizers I've used. Just recently I opened up a new Boge 2.0 ohm atty and... the vapor was extremely harsh. The thing popped several times and makes a strange little almost gurgling noise when I draw from it. None of the other atomizers in that pack had this happen. Does this mean it's a bad one? What are your experiences with bad atomizers and what are some of the "symptoms" of one? Any information you can give is greatly appreciated.

Wow. And I'd like to introduce you to Mr. Kettle over here. That last line sounded suspiciously like a very real threat. So you took exception to the content of this post. Why keep coming back to it? If it offends you so much, there's always the back key and then you won't have to read it anymore. Honestly, all the members that I've had the pleasure to meet and talk to on this forum have been nothing but nice. They are welcoming and friendly with everyone, you included up until lately anyway. People have their own opinions. If you don't like one of them then don't read. It's as simple as that, really.

Help Me Get E-Cigs Unbanned! My College Has Banned Them
Tam replied to mdee4's topic in Vaping Legislation & Regulation News
Most colleges do listen to their students as long as you remain civil and have all the facts behind you. I'd suggest you first go talk to your Associated Student Government officers and try to convince them to back your cause. They have the ear and can get the attention of your college's cabinet members to try to change this ban. Good luck! ETA: Um... you might want to add to this sentence, "The liquid is basically nicotine, glycol propylene, and water." Most e-juice contain food grade flavorings as well as vegetable glycerin, some also contain food coloring. I could be wrong but the only time I've heard of water being used in e-liquid is with 100% VG (vegetable glycerin) mixes. I'm not sure if glycol propylene is the same as propylene glycol but I think it's the latter that you'll find in e-liquids. -
You are *so* not getting me into anything new, Rixter! I'm still working my way through the 901s you recommended to me a while back.
-
The drip shields for eGo batteries really helped out when I started direct dripping. Must wander over there to see if he does custom jobs...
-
It's duct tape, Rixter, not Scotch tape. Since I discovered the clear duct tape nothing's been safe around here...

I have both eGo C and eGo T pass throughs. I believe the T came first and then the C (the C being the newer version of the T). The C pass through that I have has an additional something or other that has to do with the blue light in the button (I forget what it is) as I use the regulated option. I'm not familiar with a regular eGo battery but on my pass throughs you get two options to use: 1) is the default and regular. When you press the button it shines with a white light. That tells you that, as you use the battery and the charge goes down, so does the power of the hits until you need to recharge. Makes sense, right? Just like a regular flashlight. At first it's really bright and as it gets closer to needing a new battery (recharge), you'll see the light dimming. 2) the second is the... I think it's called "regulated"? You turn off your battery. Then hold the button in for 10 seconds or until you see the light flash. This light is almost an orange color. Then, you click five times and turn it on. This option is like the light in your house. You turn it on and it gives a bright light. When you're done, you turn it off. This gives you a consistent draw until the battery just dies (you get 15 quick flashes). There's no difference in how strong the draw is and there isn't the gradual lessening of power like in the default. You can go back to the default by clicking your battery off and then holding the button until the light flashes again. You can tell by the light's color, it'll either be white or an orangey one. Other than that blue light that I forget what it's for, they pretty much work the same. I love them both. Sorry, it's not much help. Might not be a good idea to try explaining something before I've finished the first cup of coffee of the morning... Oh, and I use the CE4, CE5, T2 (2.4 ml eGo CC) and now a Vision Vivi Mini on them. They all work well with the eGo batteries.

Thanks, Jeff. Everything I've ever gotten from Empire Mods has been top quality. If you decide to give them a try I'm sure you'll be as happy with the service as I am.

This past Wednesday I was at home waiting for the landline repair person to come fix a line that most likely had been chewed through by gophers in our area when I got a phone call from Keith at Empire Mods. He was calling to apologize for my order being delayed and to let me know about its status. If you're not aware, Empire Mods is in New York. Where Hurricane Sandy wreaked havoc just recently. Keith lost power for about a week. New York is still trying to get back on its feet. And Keith was apologizing for not having had the five cut drip shield in stock, not being able to machine a new one for me due to loss of electricity, and for the order being late due to no one being able to get around and regular postal delivery not being available. Amazing. Frankly, I was more worried about him and his family -- it doesn't matter that I don't know him at all other than to order from his store. After seeing the devastation Sandy left, the last thing I expected was for him to personally make that phone call to apologize for the order being late. When I ordered I chose the 1st class mail option. Keith upgraded it to priority mail and added a few extra drip tips and goodies at no extra cost to me. That's stellar customer service. This drip shield now holds a wealth of memories for me and is something I'll cherish. It's a reminder that there is great customer service out there, as well as someone who puts his customers' needs above his own. Wow. Thanks, Keith. I'm happy and relieved to hear you're all safe, and if I wasn't a loyal customer of Empire Mods before, this act of kindness and service just clinched the deal.

In my ever growing collection of e-liquids I have everything from 0 to 24 mg. I like being able to switch to just flavor and no nic from time to time. The flavors I have in no nic are very good, it gives the illusion of vaping without the effects of nicotine. Just a preference for some of us I guess.

You're welcome, Jeff. See? This is how I wind up in trouble and getting a whole $&%# load of e-cig stuff... Looks like about 50% is sold out. But the other 50% isn't...
