    Tam reacted to Uma in Discretion   
    I agree, that discretion is important. But making Vapers hide or feel like junkies is total hogwash. Smokers have a right to see the alternatives to smoking T-cigs, Children also are the biggest spokesmen ever for getting their parents and peers off T-cigs and when they notice a E-cig, they immediately ask questions in hopes of helping their loved ones to switch over too. Children are smarter than grown-ups apparently, because they know that reducing or omitting the TAR and TOXINS and CRAP from T-cigs has GOT to be 99% healthier.

    But then, if the E-cigs are forever hidden from view, and nobody knows there is an alternative, then big pharma can't push their Chill Pills when somebody needs a calming dose of nicotine.
    If Big Pharma goes broke, so do the many organizations that were formed to get us to quit "smoking T-cigs.

    Even so, discretion should be advised no matter if we're vaping an e-cig or mixing a drink. Just don't make us HIDE like Criminals.

    I know when I smoked ,I liked it and had no desire to quit.I resented folks who infringed on my right and sometimes got downright irritated.So I don't get too pushy .But if they ask about them I tell them more than they ever thought they wanted to know.There are a lot stupid things I used to do I don't do anymore and some I still do .I try very hard to not be one of those people who you hate to see coming.

    If you used it right after you rinsed it out, then it'll take some time before you get more vapor. Your wick got wet with water from the rinsing and needs to work that out. This is why, when I rinse, I also let it dry over night. Keep at it, you should get past this soon.

    You know, I never thought about it before, but you're right. It's almost like they're saying, "yeah...no thanks...smoking is better for me".

    I have seen people take one really tiny pull, go into an extremely exaggerated coughing fit, and hand it back shaking their head at me with a look on their face like I'm crazy for doing it. Some others tell me that they saw on "The News" how dangerous "Those Things" are and flatly refuse to try it.

    By contrast, I haven't had a coughing fit since April 8, 2012...the day my first PV arrived in the mail. Haven't had a single cold since that day, either. Coincidence...I think not.

    for me....empty, rinse well, refill. This time, before you take a hit, depress the button...gently blow through the mouth piece until vapor comes out the battery end of the clearomizer (just a second or so), then take a normal draw. should taste better.
    For some reason the liquid doesn't always wick to the heating element, I've had this problem with most of my clearomizers now and again.

    1st....is she pulling into the mouth first then inhaling, or taking straight into the lungs.....makes a huge difference.
    2nd...as mentioned above, could be the flavor. depending on the liquids...the flavoring could be the culprit.

    Uma, you are *not* helping!

    I never realized they had things like wraps for e-cigs, although I don't know why I'm surprised. Hmmmm. Something to think about. Thanks for the link! I think.

    I'm not clear on what you mean by "it sounds different." If it's gurgling you can take it off your battery and blow into the mouthpiece -- make use you hold a piece of tissue or paper towel at the other end to catch any liquid coming out of the center piece -- then wipe out the inside of the battery where it connects as well as the bottom of the clearomizer. That might do the trick.

    I got a couple and tried them. The small 1 ml size is really convenient for me and it's working well, the best bottom feeder I've tried yet. There's a review I wrote in the e-cig review part of this forum. If my opinion is worth anything... I just ordered a bunch more.

    Dripping really is great for changing flavors frequently. Its not convenient when out and about, but as home its great. No unscrewing, the drip tip allows you to drip directly to the atomizer. 2 drips is good for 5-6 draws and then add a couple more drops, vape and repeat.

    the T2 clearomizers are another great way to go. I haven't tried them yet, but I think Tameiki has me convinced. I change flavors frequently throughout the day.

    You have the atomizer screwed into your battery and a drip tip on top of the atomizer. The drip shield keeps things from getting messy and goes over the atomizer. You drip a couple of drops of liquid straight into the drip tip and enjoy. It's not that much work and the flavor you get is amazing! I can switch off complementary flavors with nearly every time I need a few more drops of liquid. It's simply wonderful and a great way to be able to switch flavors quickly.

    And this is why I have a bunch of T2 clearomizers sitting in front of me. I keep a different flavor in each one and switch. When I switched flavors in them the wicks always seemed to retain some of the old flavor for too long. My taste buds like different flavors. A LOT of different flavors, which is why I switched to direct dripping. It's much easier to go from one flavor to the other and the taste is... you can't get it from a clearomizer although my T2s come close.

    The only time I still use clearomizers these days is when I'm in the car going from one place to the next, otherwise it's got to be dripping! :P

    A "Mod" was any alteration to the vaping set up (back in the day when we only had the 510 and 901) or make your own (i.e. box mod).

    so, I guess if you look at the original definition of a 'Mod'......never mind....its making my head hurt. By the original definition, everything I own is a 'Mod'.....

    Since the container is so small (1 ml), I've already gone through all the e-juice I had in it. Now, I've mixed some vanilla cupcake and pineapple and it tastes just like pineapple upside down cake.

    So I bought two of the Vision 510 nano clearomizer from LitecigsUSA.

    http://www.litecigus...clearomizer.htm

    It's a cute little thing. I think it would look better if I could find the right thread cover for my eGo 650 mAh pass through battery. Anyone have a rec for that?

    Anyway, I filled it up and let it sit so the wick could soak up the e-liquid. I've tried other bottom feeders before and have been less than happy with them. The first bottom feeder I tried was a Stardust-style. It worked okay but was a PITA to fill and the flavor was very muted. The most recent is the Tabac BCC clear cartomizer (a Kangor T3 clone). It sounds almost gurgly when I draw from it and the flavor is just... weird. That's what I get for getting a clone. I'll be getting a real T3 to try soon.

    Anyway... the first dozen draws from this Nano was very harsh, it reminded me of getting a dry hit when direct dripping. Just about the time I was getting ready to pitch this thing -- something happened and suddenly I wasn't getting the dry hit flavor and the gurgling sound. Now I'm getting nothing but flavor and a smooth draw, no burned taste at all. It's currently filled with Sweet-Vapes' Dulce de Leche, 12 mg, 70 PG/30 VG and it tastes almost like I'm direct dripping! It has a semi-firm draw but it's not what I'd call hard. Just a bit firmer than a Vision Stardust (long wick).

    The thing I like best about the nano is the small size. When I'm not direct dripping I tend to change from one flavor in a clearomizer to another so I have a bunch of them lined up to change off to. I like that I can have smaller sizes so I can fill more often. Could be my imagination but I prefer the "fresh" e-liquids better. I'll probably be buying more of these.
