This is some really good info. Especially using 0mg right before bedtime! I think I'll start using 24 in the morning, then a 18 in the afternoon, a 12 in the evening and a 0 at bedtime. I also keep a variety of levels and flavors, and now I totally get the point. Thanks guys.

I had to chuckle at PoppaC's considering the E-Cig as a "hobby" and "fun." And here I thought it was just me! I rather relish getting out the paper clip, tweezers, napkins, juice bottles, and other tools of the trade, refilling and experimenting. It's almost as much fun as learning to fly my RC outdoor helicopter! Having just passed my 79th, the beauty of "advanced age" is that one can do just about anything bizarre and get away with it.

I must say, very well put! And I also find that my e-cig is as much a hobby as everything else. In other words, it's fun!

I simply like the fact that I can go into the bathroom stall or the quiet room at work and vape and no one knows. I would hope no one is looking at me in the bathroom stall!

E-Cig users will readily agree that the convenience of “vapping” whenever and wherever is a significant benefit. However, the wherever should bear some discipline on our part. Already, in some states, to deter the attraction to children, Big Brother has succeeded in banning their use around schools; next will be public parks, malls, other areas frequented by children. And rightfully so. Today's kids are extremely chancy experimenters, drawn to bizarre activities -choking asphyxiation, cinnamon challenge, boozing, aerosol inhalation, smoking or ingesting literally any pill, powder or fluid found in the home. We won’t change that, but perhaps, with restraint we can avoid becoming an attractive nuisance. In the same vein, some vappers find delight in challenging stores, restaurants, bars, buses, even airlines, by flaunting their E-Cigs, actually inviting confrontation by puffing away until called down, then delighting in putting the authoritarian in his/her place with a combative explanation that they are not smoking. Guaranteed, such an attitude will bring about wider controls. As we all know, there is an element among us that always seems to quetch without substantial reason. Despite the lack of odor or harmful “second smoke” emitted by the E-Cig, rest assured, there are those who will vehemently complain that the “smell” is bothersome, the vapor is pervasive, or the very display of our quasi-smoking is simply annoying. Merchants have every right to refuse service or remove anyone from their premises who, for any reason, creates a disturbance. Let's be discreet. Let's not banner our new found freedom. Let's keep that freedom free.

I didn't realize this had already been going on for so long. I do realize, however, that the FDA must do its job and regulate anything that we put in our bodies and I can appreciate that to an extent. I'd rather they regulate something like, oh, I don't know, the hormones in the chicken nuggets we're stuffing in little kids every day that have proven to cause cancer? Psht. The nicotine in our e-cigarettes is no more dangerous than a freakin Red Bull. But for governors to start passing laws that we can't smoke the e-cigs outside is just plain ignorant. They griped until we put the analogs out. They won't be happy until we are all Stepford People.

Beware the FDA. Like all governmental agencies, they have an agenda. Example: Every day 3000 young people become regular smokers, 6000 teens under 18 smoke their first cigarette, and more than 1000 adults die prematurely as a result of an adolescent decision. Clearly, a problem to be addressed. Let's recall the November 1998 multi-state tobacco settlement, — estimated at $246 billion over the first 25 years — that was to attack the enormous public health problems posed by tobacco use in the U.S. Well, how’s that working for us?

As of November 30, 2011, states have cut funding for tobacco prevention and cessation programs to the lowest level since 1999, the very first year they received settlement funds. Fiscal Year 2012 will collect $25.6 billion in revenue from the tobacco settlement and tobacco taxes, but will spend only 1.8 % of it - $456.7 million - less than two cents of every dollar in tobacco revenue to fight tobacco use. Where's the FDA? Where has all the money gone? Alien theft? Chewed up by the family pooch? Ask your revered congressman and good luck with an answer. Uncle Sam has absolutely no interest in your health or well being, only in your money, and E-Cig users will continually face his voracious taxation appetite.

Never heard of tailpiping before. So I tried it. That burned my lips! Very useful post, though. Thanks!

No need to delete. You did a great job on your list. +1 for you.

The one that always bugs me is when people say " I am a vapor" actually "I am a vaper"

Nothing new. Been going on for over the 3+ years I've been vaping.

You would think they'd be more worried about drugs and alcohol, hell even bullying is more dangerous to these kids!

Actually I am using a Clearomizer on my 510. Looks silly but works fine.

The Kanger actually looks pretty good on the 510.

Well you could just go simple. Just size up some brackets to your ecig after that screw them to the wall and there you go. You can slip them in the bracket and then it will stay upright and won't fall either. Not sure why you would need to do this unless you have something like a clearomizer in which could flood if it isn't kept upright. I just take mine off and let them sit upright.

I think you're on to something. Many of us have make e-cig holders of some kind but on that resembles an ashtray is a great idea.

You could also get a plain, clear acrylic one and put the stick-on rhinestones on it for added bling...

I have tried 15 different vendors suggested on this forum. I have ordered well over $1500 in e-juice/samplers etc. that all mostly got thrown out/given away...or I liked it...but only vape it occasionally.


So from my giant loss of $ (btw this is my personal taste) and hours of exhaustive testing. I hope to save you some time. And point you to a few flavors that I consider my 'main-stay'
..aka VAPE ALL DAY ERRR-DAY

Gorilla Juice (18-24mg) & Boba's Bounty (18-24mg) both from www.avejuice.com (note you must create an account to view their products..takes 2-3 mins...worth it)
IMO Boba's Bounty (if u smoked reg. full flavors) & Gorilla Juice (if u smoked lights/light menthols). If you smoked less than 1-pack a day start with a 11mg nicotine level. If you smoked 2+ start with 24mg nicotine level.
Prices: 30ML = $16.30 ...and they offer a 100ML mega-bottle for $53.00 (with a spot top...$52.00 without)...no price savings ordering a larger amount....but trust me after your first order you'll order 100ml at a time!
Downsides: Seems like a operation run by just 2-3 people. Their demand is high & many times they run out/cut off orders after their daily 'limit'. I'm not sure if it's because they run their business more like a hobby than a business...if its to keep demand up like a line outside of a club...or if its because they like staying small to keep quality up. But just assume you may run into issues ordering depending on the month of the year.

Now for a flavor you can enjoy all day long when you're not looking for that 'analog/cig/tabacco or whatever you wanna call it * flavor *....then....I suggest...

Blueberry Waffle (18mg) from www.vaporshark.com
I travel all over the country for both fun + business. I happened to stop into Miami Florida's very first 'storefront' vapor shop. They have a full-time staff of E-liquid Barrista's. And these guys take their business very SERIOUS. This is a talented outfit of nicotine delivery dealers let me tell ya. I tried several of their flavors but the one that 'hit all the marks' was blueberry waffle. And they have the BEST blueberry waffle in America..Period. Also when you order online...at say 3AM...by 7AM when they walk into the office, they get your stuff made & shipped by 7:45AM. For an extra $7 shipping fee you can have your juice in 72 hours.
Now the reason I'm suggesting these guys besides great tasting E-liquid/Quality...is the SPEED at which they get it CUSTOM BREWED FOR YOU THAT MORNING & DELIVERED. They are incredibly professional.
The 3 day's it takes for USPS to ship it to you leaves just enough time for it to steep properly...so no need to wait over a week for it to taste good...like with many other providers.
Lastly they offer their liquids in 8mg, 12mg, 18mg, 24mg & get this...36mg ...omg!?
Downside: Premium pricing. $20 for a 30ML bottle, then add $7 for USPS Priority (1-3 Day) shipping. So you're looking at $27.00, but the turn-around time AKA the time from ordering to showing up in your doorstep...I find it to be..the best amongst all providers by a LONG SHOT.



Now then....on to novelty flavors & once a day/week kind of stuff. Juices that are good...but you may or may not end up vaping all day. I suggest (IMO)

If I'm looking for a variety of quality 'misc' flavors/great customer service & quick turn-around I typically turn to E-liquids from www.thevaporroom.net
These guys have an incredible 'full selection' of I want to say 50+ flavors. All of which taste exactly as advertised. And all of which are great...the quality is bordering on perfection. Another upside to this provider is that they offer nicotine levels of 0mg, 6mg, 12mg, 18mg, 24mg & then 30mg! Most providers don't offer a 30mg for the heaviest of smokers.
I can personally suggest their Mountain Dew aka Mt. Do (18mg) , Blue Cotton Candy (18mg) , & the 555 Menthol (18mg). The 555 menthol & Mt. Do I could ALMOST vape all day.
Downsides: I just couldn't find a single flavor on their list that ended up being my 'all day vape'. However I've heard many people mention that their RY4 is a perfect all-day vape. Prices are slightly above average (think $1 more per 30ml) but thats worth it for their service/quality & free samples! Also they charge $1 extra for 100% VG mixes for some reason...most other sites however do not even offer 100% VG. So its a trade off.

Ok hope you enjoyed my book....I spent an hour here helping someone OMG!? Well its time well spent considering the hours of questions I first asked when I got on Vapor Talk. Which btw...is by far the BEST/most helpful Electronic Cigarette / Nicotine Vaporizer forum on the internet. And yes I signed up and tried 15 of them before settling on this forum as the absolute best!


One Love & Happy Vaping!
Team Dejavu

have been hearing good things about the Kanger T3 clearomizer, though.

Hi Vaping Friends,

I thought I'd share this idea. I was constantly losing my e-cigarette the first few weeks I started vaping. Between me and my dad, we came up with this idea. It's so cheap and really handy. All I did was buy a pack of mechanical pencils from the dollar store, take the metal clip off the top then stretch it out just a little and stick it on the top of my pipe. No more losing my e-cigarette. Just be careful that you don't put too much juice in if you're using a drip tip because if it leaks out, it might get it on your shirt. I did this once, but dish washing liquid got it right out. No stains.

Vaping Forever,

Jo

They are nice.I use mine at home and use cartomisers while out for that reason.

Ok so this originally was a reply I had posted in another thread. However I put SO MUCH TIME into it, I figured it might just deserve its own thread. And I would love for anyone else around here to add their input about my statements/make suggestions/tell me I'm wrong or whatever for fun/educational purposes! Also can somebody please suggest another provider of a flavor that comes close to matching Gorilla Juice or Boba's Bounty...for those times when its impossible to get your hands on the stuff!? Thanks!! <3 <3

twerk while i vape

Why thank you, jowaddle. After about the fiftieth time that I accidentally knocked my e-cig over I started looking at test tube holders. Those were too many holes and not enough "interesting" shapes or colors. Then, one of them reminded me of a toothbrush holder and... they really do work well!

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!

Very cool looking, although I think my wife would look at me funny if I walked around the house with an ashtray with sparkley jewels.

I used the pocket clip off of a tire air gauge I had. Now when my e-cig is in my shirt pocket, it looks just like an ink pen. Stealthy.
