    DayVape--we all had to start at the beginning and work our way through the vaping experience( ok, maybe not all of us). In order for the experience to work, the brain has to be on board. the psychological aspect is huge.
    I know I wouldn't have been happy with a larger Mod when I first started--the 510 was perfect for me at that point (not like I had a lot of choices) and I have worked my way up the chain.

    We all agree, the ego has better battery life, but it is a bit bigger. I still use my 510's when I want something small and inconspicuous. I needed the light on the end--I just don't anymore.
    When I was first starting I think I would have stuck with the 510 with the PCC--it worked wonderful for me for the first 6 months. Then I started looking at other options.

    There isn't a right or wrong way--we just have our own preconceived ideas about how something should be--the only thing that matters is finding a place to jump from and being able to leave cigarettes behind. We really don't want to scare him away.....



    ThirdFloor--let us know if we made this all too confusing or if the links FT provided were helpful--we really do want you to be able to quite smoking !!!!

    Thanks, but I wasn't saying anything to "scare them away"... simply stating the facts and my opinions.
    Is this not one of those places where we can freely do that? I must be in the wrong place today... my bad, I apologize for any misinformation I might have given you. I should never have said any of the stuff I said... how rude of me to try and save someone some money and headache.

    I was about to come on here and rant and Chris' new article on the home page is a good place to start.

    Home Page Article

    Is it to much to ask for vendors to just tell us what it is? I spend a lot of time looking at the plethora of suppliers and it bothers me when they just list a 510 kit as a "510 kit", and attys that are listed at "510 atty" or something deceptive live "replacement atty for Joye 510" or "replacement atty for Joye eGo" when it's not a Joye atty. I want to know what I'm buying and I will not buy from a vendor that doesn't clearly state who the manufacturer is. And what's up with the eGo knock-offs? If you want to sell the EM Riva, fine, but call it what it is, don't try to be deceptive about it. Some vendors call it an eGo even though it's not a Joye eGo. Some, while not calling it an eGo, twist words to try to make you think it's a eGo, or better than an eGo. One vendor has one listed and in parenthesis says (aka: Riva/eGo). That's BS. It's either a Riva or an eGo. In this case I'm pretty sure it was an EM Riva, but don't try to deceive me! And now there's the T-Rex. I'm still trying to find out if it's Joye or not.

    So I ask, it is to much to just call it what it is? I know there are some marketing gimmicks, but Ecigs can be confusing enough, especially for noobies, so why not just tell us what it is (who's the manufacturer)! Am I being too picky wanting to know if something is made by Joye? I don't think so.

    Brian reacted to Jolly in Please Help Me Decide On Which One? Here Are My Stats   
    1.) I am afraid that I will buy an ecigarette that will be too strong for me.

    some people that chain smoke like a lower nic and some that smoke a little want a lot. depends on the person, i say go for a high nic content and see how you like it.

    2.) I would prefer an ecigarette that doesn't look like an actual cigarette if possible. THe pen looks great...but is it reliable?

    the ones shaped like a cig aren't that reliable. the batteries are just to small and last thing you want to do is have 10 batteries all charging and swapping them out.

    3.) I am not electronic savvy so if it breaks, I will have to buy a new one.

    there are three parts to an e-cig. the mouth piece that holds a cart full of e-juice, atomizer that heats up the juice to become vapor, and the battery. if one of the items broke you can just replace that piece.

    4.) Is there one out there that is reliable?

    ego and the tornado are good for first timers, with the addition of a large battery. both of those are basically the same thing as they both run a 510 atomizer. thats what i use and love it. the main types of atomizers people use are 510, 801, 901, and 808.

    5.) Maybe a two-pack so I won't go back to actual smoking while waiting on a replacement?

    to avoid having to go back to smoking just make sure you have extra batteries and atomizers.

    6.) stealth smoking is ideal

    i'm with you on this one, i actually modified a single AAA flashlight to an ecig using a 10440 protected li-ion battery.

    7.) Do the kits have everything that I need?

    kits tend to give you the starting point of what you need. if you get a kit order about 3 extra atomizers and batteries. say you go for the tornado kit, the kit doesn't come with their mega battery. what some people do with that is skip the kit and order just the parts. it cost more to do it that way but then you have just what you want.

    8.) Can you tell me all of the supplies I need so I can buy them upfront?

    the break down would be the kit or parts you will be using, and extra parts, juice. this list could be longer if you wanted to mix your own juice. if you want to do that OR want to have the best tasting e-juice i ever encountered hit up www.diyflavorshack.com

    9.) I don't know about the fruit flavors...I want something similar to wha t I smoke now...Marlboro light 100.

    i used to smoke marb light menthol. i actually like the fruity flavors. my daily vape is Caramel-Apple i made. my nic level is around 18mg but i am thinking of going up to 23mg.

    10 do need big battery life as I do smoke a lot.

    watch the mAh of the battery, the higher the number the longer it lasts.

    11.) Is the tip hot?

    no but the atomizer can get hot, not to the point you will get burnt but hot enough you don't want to touch it for that "just in case" factor, lol.

    12.) oes a case come with it?

    kits usually have a "case" but its not the type you would go walking around with, not sure why they call them a case it's actually a box. depending on what you get, an eye glass case will work.

    13.) Do I need an ashtray still to hold it?

    nope it is all vapor. like when you boil water, just this isn't water boiling.

    14.) Can it burn something/someone?

    never heard of anyone being burnt.

    15.) Do I pocket it when out and about? Or hold it until it cools off?

    i can chain vape and then drop it into my pocket.

    16.) Eventually does everyone quit smoking?

    depends on the person. that's the idea though.

    17.) Lowering the nicotine and just blowing the vapor?

    yes, but you can keep vaping the nic.. i haven't read a study that has any info about nic being harmful. in most cases it actually has effects that i want to hang onto. weight loss, making you happy, etc...

    18.) is there any type of smell to it? Or scent? If you are using pineapple scented flavor, does everyone around you smell it too?

    i blew my watermelon into a friends face to see if he could smell it when i first got my kit. he said it smelled like a weak watered down watermelon.

    Ok, I'll give this one a shot.

    Most people on this forum will recommend you start with a 510 or a variation of that basic model. A very popular one is the Janty / Joye eGo. Manual switch battery, long battery life, it's a very highly regarded variation of the 510. Here is a link to one from a VT certified supplier... /joye-ego-black.html This kit is basically 2 fully functioning units, so when one goes down (usually the atomizers last about 1 month if you take care of them) you have a back-up while you order replacement parts.

    You will want to order some juice as well, can't really recommend a flavor as it's too subjective, but pick something that sounds tasty to you and give it a go. Some suppliers offer small tester size bottles for cheap, and even small variety boxes some places so you can try a lot of different flavors before you order the larger sizes.

    As to your concerns about burning yourself or others, it generally is not an issue. Unless you just had a unit malfunction and turn itself on for a long time without you noticing the atomizers generally do not get hot enough to burn you. I stick mine directly in my pocket right after using it all the time. The vapor does have a scent to it, I notice it more with a high voltage mod unit than with a standard 3.7V device, but it definitely has a scent, however it dissipates very quickly. As to quitting smoking, again that all depends on you. Some people use it as a way to quit smoking entirely and slowly step down their nicotine content until it is zero at which point they can keep vaping 0mg liquid or quit vaping as well, others use it as a safer alternative to smoking and have no intentions of quitting vaping.

    Welcome to Vapor Talk. You've come to the right place for answers.

    I would recommend the eGo (or tornado - same ecig, different name) It's close to the size of a cigarette, but doesn't look like one. You can now get them in different colors...mine is black. The kit comes with atomizers, cartridges, batteries, and a charger. For the most part it comes with everything you need to get started. That being said, I've always been a big "backups" person. For instance, you can vape with one battery while the other is charging, but if one of the batteries quits on you, you wouldn't be able to vape while your one and only battery is charging, so I suggest you have at least 3 batteries. If the kit comes with two atomizers, that's great, but it one of them quits too early, you're only left with one...so extra atomizers are a must. Same thing with chargers. It doesn't hurt to have an extra charger - just in case. You can use the cartridges or you can direct drip, but in either case you will need some e-juice. You'll have to go through a few different flavors to find that one or ones that you like best. You will also want plenty of juice on hand. Remember, backups. As long as you have extra batteries, atomizers, and juice, you'll be set. If something breaks, you'll have the replacements without having to wait on them to come in the mail. That's why I always say "backups, backups, backups."

    The juice is a matter of personal preference. There are plenty of places that have tobacco flavors, but be aware that they really don't taste like any tobacco you've ever had smoking since you aren't smoking - you aren't burning anything. But there are lots of pleasant tasting juices out there.

    The eGo/tornado is ideal for stealth vaping. You can hide the whole thing in your hand and no one would know you have it. If you hold the vapor in your mouth for a few moments befor exhaling, you will see very little - if any - vapor.

    The battery life on the eGo/tornado is just about the best. You can easily get 6 to 8 hours vaping very heavily. If you don't vape as heavily you could get a few more hours. You can vape on one battery while the other is charging, so you will always have a battery charged and ready to go.

    I have had the tip get hot, but it cools off quickly. It's not too hot though. I've put them in my pocket while they were hot with no problem. However, if it is in your pocket and the button is pushed, it can get hot enough to burn your leg. Don't ask how I know this. While it can get hot, you don't need anything special to put it down on. Wait a second and it will cool off enough to lay it down anywhere. Also, the eGo/tornado has a flat bottom so you can stand it on end. It doesn't get hot enough to burn anything or anyone as a rule - with the exception of the pocket thing mentioned before.

    There can be some smell with some of the juices. When I am vaping my cinnamon, my husband can smell that. He also says he can smell the chocolate and peanut butter mix. It makes him want a Reese's candy bar. LOL The smell - when there is one - doesn't linger like the smell of cigarettes though.

    For the most part, I think people do eventually quit smoking. There are a few members here that still have a cigarette or two now and then, but I think most of us have quit all together. Several people have gone to 0 nicotine, too. I vape 0 nic quite a bit of the time, but still use the nic juice off and on when I get stressed. The highest level of nic I use now is 12mg or less. Quite a bit of the time it's 6mg or less.

    I hope some of this helps you out. There will be more people with more answers soon. Or they have already answered since it's taken me so long to write all of this.

    Good luck and ask any more questions you come up with.

    Great choice on the eGo. You won't be disappointed at all. I was going to say in my last post (but I forgot), that yes, you can use cartomizers with the eGo.

    Another thing you might want to consider...Totally Wicked has a charger that will charge 5 batteries at once. TW has the "tornado" which is the exact same thing as the "eGo", only with a different name. Their charger is on sale right now for $17.49 (I think that was the sale price). I have one (but didn't get it at the sale price, darn it) and it's great to be able to charge more than one battery at once. You do have to buy adapters to put on the charger, but they are fairly cheap. Since the two of you would be using the same batteries, it seems like it would make more sense to have the one charger instead of several. Just thought I would mention it.

    Here's the charger:

    Brian got a reaction from Phaseman66 in Omega And Silver Bullet   
    I'll start off by saying that I've been using a Black Silver Bullet for about four months now and absolutely love it. It's a vaping beast! I vape all day at 6V, come home from work and switch the top over to it's PT and continue vaping at 6V. My SB is in near constant use. Four months of heavy use and I have never and a single problem with it.

    Enter OMEGA:
    So, July 3rd was my birthday and for the past two weeks my wife has been nagging me because she didn't have anything for me and didn't know what to get me. I told her not to worry about it, and thought she had let it go, but she started back up just a few days before the big day. Nag, nag, nag. What's a guy to do, right? So I told her I'd order a new PV for my b-day and she was happy with that. I have been considering getting another SB, but decided to go ahead and get the Omega. I ordered it Wednesday evening and it arrived Saturday morning.

    The Omega is a thing of beauty. Take the SB and add some elegance and class and you have Omega. It comes in a velvet bag which you will need to clean up the drool when you pull the Omega out of it. Seriously, the unit is absolutely eye candy.

    How does it vape? It vapes as expected... like a beast. I'm using two LiFePO4s for 6V and a BE112 atty (thanks GDub for the atty tip) and it vapes great - just like the SB. The push button top (switch) is very nice. I was concerned that I wouldn't like it, but it's perfect. Some people have expressed concerns about the switch being activated if you're a pocket carrier. IMO, you are 100% correct. While it does take a little pressure to depress it, I would not be comfortable carrying it in my pant pocket.

    In size, it's about the same as the SB. It's slightly smaller in circumference and weighs 25% less (3oz vs. the 4oz SB). You can definitely tell the difference in weight when you hold it.

    Issues: The only problem I've found is that it wasn't firing every time I pushed the top down. This is because it was designed for 18650 batteries and I’m using two LiFePO4s which a slightly smaller in diameter. To correct this, I used a Pop-Tart box to make a battery sleeve. This worked perfectly and it fires ever single time now. I've heard of people doing this with the SB and Indulgence also and it works great.

    You all know I don't do reviews. I'll jump in on someone else's review and say "yeah, I agree" or "I love mine" or something like that. Face it, I suck at reviews and I'm okay with that. However, I felt like I had to say something about the SB and Omega. They really are fantastic units and I have no qualms at all about recommending them. I've never had anything but excellent products and service from Altsmoke. Due to the quality and durability of the SB I had no reservations at all about ordering the Omega. I knew it would be a great unit and have no doubt it will pass the test of time.

    Thanks for reading... sorry to babble on.

    Brian reacted to kitsune in E Cig Safety   
    This is rd28's girlfriend, and he has been trying to get me to switch from cigarettes to e cigs. The problem that I have with the e cig is that no one really knows anything about it. My boyfriend has been using it for about a week and he says it is the best thing ever. He asked me to research the e cig because I was skeptical about it, and what I discovered was that the FDA has it held up in customs and that it has been banned in Austraila and Canada. Shipments have been detained or delayed, but eventually they get through. The products are not currently illegal. Some states/cities have looked at bans, but again they are still legal.
    I also read that the e cig has not been properly tested by the FDA. These things have raised some red flags for me. If this product is so safe then why not hand it over for testing? They have been handed over for testing, but the FDA chose to test only a small sample of product. The only chemical they found that is remotely harmful was diacylglycerol. Even then, they only found a trace amount in one of the samples. Diacylglycerol is also found in many common food products, and found in larger quantities in cigarettes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diglyceride.
    I know that cigarettes are bad for me and that they have a lot of chemicals that the e cig is claiming not to, but my problem is that no one really knows anything about the e cig. Your right, we don't have extensive testing on this product, but there is no way they are more harmful than cigarettes. You can look up the ingredients in the liquids - glycerine, flavoring (mostly food), nicotine. Somebody here may have a site that lists the ingredients. Totally Wicked has done an independent analysis of their liquids and posted the report on their forum. This day and age, even breathing has its risks. There have been numerous things that have been sold to the american public that was later discovered to be harmful, after FDA testing. i.e. Fin-Fin. Phen-Phen is actually still in use and was only a problem for a select few of the thousands using the product, and in many cases, the product was not being used properly. There are those that can react to any medication, including tylenol (resulting in death). All I am saying is that maybe proper testing should be completed before it is sold and passed off to the public as the safest cigarette possible. In the last year I have been using electronic cigarettes-- I can smell and taste better, I am no longer short of breath, The swelling in my legs has gone, I no longer cough, and my sinus infections have improved. I know that is just me, but you can read many such testimonials. I am not saying that it is safe or not safe, but I do understand that not everything is known about it and should be researched further. There is no such thing as safe in this day and age, like I said--breathing has its risks. Much of the food and drink we consume has been chemically altered and enhanced. The Chemicals contained in the electronic cigarette liquids is the same stuff we consume regularly in the foods we eat and drink. If there are any other facts that I should be aware of please let me know because I am still on the fence. Ultimately you will have to make this choice. I really, really don't want the government telling me what I can and can't do. The FDA is not a reliable source for testing or unbiased information. You can guarantee the cigarette companies and pharmaceutical companies do not want this product--the loss in revenue will be huge.
    What I know for for certain is that I feel better--even my husband has stopped coughing. The chemicals and addictive additives in cigarettes are far more harmful and destructive.
    Keep researching.......
    I would recommend electronic cigarettes to anybody looking at leaving cigarettes behind, but I always ask that they research and make their own decisions.


    Hope this has helped a little.

    So this version is adjustable voltage from 3.7 - 6v using the same batteries as the first joker. Doesn't this mean that the first joker is really a 6v unit? Seems like I asked that before and got some confusing answer from Jesso.

    Anyhow, I think I'll go order a Buzz.

    Sorry to vent.

    Ok - the 600 mah is just a misprint... it's really 360. It's the same battery used in the Spade, and it's to big for the PT.

    Here's what you need:

    I know I've seen them other place, but can't for the life of me find them now. I also checked batteryjunction and allbattery and didn't see them. If I find them elsewhere, I'll post it.

    I just checked and it's the same battery that the Joye/Janty Stick V3 uses.

    Dave, the spending buying habits with spouse, that is probably why I would be terrified to marry again after what my X spouse put me through. LOL!



    Don't feel bad, even without one, I was so broke when I started to look into this ecig device on this same forum. I had lost 2 jobs, and was on this forum trying to learn what to buy on credit while I was trying to go cold turkey. I had about a week of severe struggling, when new neighbors started blasting music 24/7 and pushed me over the edge.



    I then decided I could NOT afford to go to the local store here in N.Y. anymore, not even for 1 more pack of analogs. The prices here are just too outrageous. So I went to the Indian Reservation.



    On the way back, just as I said to my son, "This will probably be the last time we go to the Indian Reservation", (I really believed because of all you good people on this forum that this electronic cigarette device was going to work), I suddenly hear a siren and flashing lights. Oh, great, like things were not bad enough!



    I ended up with three tickets related to my very old jalopy that I keep trying to hold together just to have some transportation and trying to keep above water. From there, I was terrified what was going to happen when I showed up in Court and did not have any money for tickets. To make matters even worse, my son who is multiply-handicapped was given a ticket. They said he did not have a seat belt on, but he did. My son cannot defend himself in a Court of Law, and not good with answering questions, especially when stressed out, and Courts are a Big One for Stress. Now I am thinking they are going to put me in jail because I cannot pay the tickets, and my poor son will not be able to care for himself. I will never forget how this journey to try to quit analogs started for me, given this story. I had ordered my Joye 510 kit, but I had not received it yet.



    I knew when I got my kit and my one bottle of ejuice that I could cut the "Nic" down with VG if need be. Problem was, after I did get my ecig kit, the only place I could get VG without waiting for shipping or spending more money I did not have was to go to Wal-Mart. I could not get there, because the inspection sticker on my car was expired, thus explains one of the tickets I had received.



    A really good Sumerian on this forum sent me some ejuice after I began to get ill from the high "Nic", or I may have given up at that point. I had a carton of analogs from the Reservation, and I still do. I could have easily gone back to analogs when I got ill. But instead, because of the help I received on this forum, I have not had a single analog since I got my Joye 510 kit and started without any analogs the following day.



    As for what happened about the tickets and the Court, I spend much time praying. I also wrote a letter to the Judge about my son. I did not want to have to embarrass him in front of other people in Court by revealing all handicaps in public as to why he cannot answer for himself. I prayed that somehow I would only have to pay $50, and they would not stress out my son. My prayers were answered exactly as I asked. The Judge even winked at my son, and he smiled with such relief as we left.



    As for the good Sumerian, who helped me from this forum, I was told to "pay it forward". I did just that finally on the 1st of this month. Besides showing this device to anyone I can, there is a girl who lives in the lower apartment from us who smokes. She finally revealed to me after I showed and let her try my ecig months ago that she too could not afford to buy one. Another single Mom struggling. I gave her everything I started with and then some once I got the VP-PT, and a few other things I long waited to get.



    USBpassthroughVP, I know if I can do it with what I went through, I know you too will do really well. There really is so much to learn, and the people here are so knowledgeable and helpful. I know that you are in good hands here if you need any help or any support, don't be afraid to ask any of us. I believe this is important. And the fact you are already here asking questions shows you're already on your way to being free from analogs.



    I almost forgot, you asked about where to put the drops. Dripping was already mentioned, but here is a video that shows how to top off your cart, instead of dripping. Also Dave is right, it is hard to buy every ejuice in every strength. You can always cut down the "Nic" strength with VG or PG. You can get VG at Wal-Mart. I would not recommend buying the highest "Nic" level of ejuice to start with. If you can afford it, it is also good to try some other flavors of ejuice. You can even mix a drop or two with whatever flavor you have picked to try to match whatever type of analog cigarette you have been used to in your cartridges. Sorry, I guess I am jumping the gun. You can buy pre-filled cartridges with ejuice, but I think most don't do this all the time because it is costly, so they may buy bottles of ejuice to either fill or top off their cartridges with. So make sure to buy yourself some extra cartridges, called "carts" if you go this route. There are some really excellent Videos on YouTube to show just about anything you may want to see how to do. Try this one about topping off your cartridge with a bottle of ejuice:

    Only difference, the Joye 510 does not have an inner cart like in this Video, but that just makes it easier.



    Sorry guys for the long story, Hope this will encourage others that anything is possible, and Dave brought up the buying collecting habits. I also wanted him and his spouse to know without God and this forum, I would not be here doing so well! I thank God, this forum, and also a good friend and prayer partner who prayed with me during this struggle and recently (last month) passed away very suddenly. I always saw miracles happen whenever we agreed in prayer together for all we knew and all we could of this world, my heart is so sad now to know the world lost a real angel, my friend Marlene for whom I will try to carry on her same Love, Compassion and Prayers for others as well as her Great Faith!


    USBpassthroughVP, you are in good hands here on this forum. I will be praying for you also!

    You are doing Fine! Its a learning curve that everyone who drips will experience. Become ONE with your atomizer. As soon as you start to taste even a hint of burnt-add two or three more drops. When you get a whole LOT of vapor, that means you have about two or three more drags before the burnt taste. Add three more drops. Heat is bad. Its like firing a rifle more than three times in semi auto, the barrel gets real hot. Same with the LR atty. Juice will run out of the holes. You will find balance. Use the force...

    Brian reacted to Bigjim in How Long Do Pre-Filled Carts Last?   
    I've been trying to figure that out for over a month now. I noticed if ya ask different people, ya get different answers; different literature will guide ya differently, yadda-yadda-yadda. There's way too many things to factor in to come up with a universal answer. Your best bet is to just try different things (you'll find many ideas to try here) take note of the different outcomes and you will find what you're looking for.
    After reading many different sources and trying many different things, personally, I have come to the conclusion that direct dripping is hands down the best way to go. Have ya tried that yet? I went nuts trying everything else and didn't listen to everyone hyping up the dripping thing. Finally, I got tired of crunching numbers and experimenting with how long carts last compared to a pack of smokes and just tried dripping. Since then, all else seems trivial, LoL!
    I personally feel carts are a nice temporary fix while driving short trips or something, but I feel that's about it. Everyone's different though, take your time and try different things, you'll find what your looking for.
    Hope this helps
