I'm probably being a smart ***, but I vape 3.8v...ego-c twist go in increments .2v

I don't care what the law is or is going to be, tobacco is tobacco and nicotine is not tobacco, if the law is wise then it's not smart enough recognize this fact. Test have been done, and they show exactly what we believe. Even if our e-cigs become controlled like analogs, we should do what is right and live free of control - if you disagree, look at the war on cannabis/drugs.

I don't know about that mcquin. I don't find myself rushing to my pv when I get up in the morning or after a meal (those famous triggers). I don't that addicted anymore. I don't find myself craving my pv. I only vape 1ml of 11mg and 2-4ml of 6mg of nicotine a day. As far as I can tell, that's not a lot.

But everybody is different though. I want to quit using nicotine so much - but not completely.

I resemble that remark.

Too much work for me. Im more of a plug & play vaper.

Lately, I've been getting a few bad Boge cartos here and there in my boxes. I think it's just a case of some poor quality control on the production line, but since a good Boge carto is (IMO) the best performing carto available today (and at less than a buck a piece), I don't mind tossing the occasional bad one out every now and again.

This may or may not be what you're experiencing, but other than the QC issues I just mentioned, I've not had problems with thicker juices in Boge cartos before...it just takes a little longer to saturate fully.

I usually go 1 week on a cart. I hate to throw them away though, I keep em for back ups in case of an emergency.

well i use mine for at least a week. i had a single cartomizer last me a whole month. grantee you it had nowhere near the great flavor i would have gotten from a new one. but vapor was still good. but yah it all depends on how much money you have and i dont have much and i make my stuff last. and trust me i vape almost 24/7 as i never sleep.

I can relate to what that Wiki info is talking about. Part of the whole reason I won't go back to standard resistance is because I just can't seem to get that big beautiful cloud of vapor with a SR atty. If I'm vaping, I gotta see the cloud Otherwise, a hit is just not satisfying for me. Weird, I know.

Lately I've been vaping about 3-5 mls of 6mg per day. How that relates to what I was getting for nic when I was smoking a pack per day of Marb lights, I have no idea. Some days I chain vape at work, just because my boss doesn't care, as long as it's not in view of the public. And at night when I'm hanging out on the computer, I pretty much chain vape. So yeah, I vape pretty constantly all day long lol. It wasn't as bad when the only battery I had wasn't a pass-through. At least I would take a break when it was charging. Now, I have a pass thru and no excuse to put it down :P

Here's a little something from Wikipedia's Electronic Cigarette page that I found very interesting:

"Research carried out at the University of East London on the effects of using an electronic cigarette to reduce cravings in regular tobacco smokers showed that there was no significant reported difference between smokers who inhaled vapour containing nicotine and those who inhaled a placebo vapour containing no nicotine. The report concluded that although electronic cigarettes can be effective in reducing nicotine-related withdrawal symptoms, the nicotine content does not appear to be of central importance, and other smoking related cues (such as taste or vapour resembling smoke) may account for the reduction in discomfort associated with tobacco abstinence in the short term."

Hmmm.

Thank you again all for the advice, haven't had an analog since Friday

I think the most suitable answer here is an ego battery or two and boge cartos. Just my 2c.

I bought mine from electronicstix and it is working great. Minimal to no rattle at all.

I started vaping on April 8, 2012, and since then, I've tried out variations on just about every new juicer that's come down the pike . IMO, if you want the same vape every time, nothing beats a good ol' freshly filled Boge carto for consistency and simplicity.



It's sort of like the McDonald's cheeseburger of juicers...it may not be as fancy as the other stuff out there, but with the Boge carto (and the McDonald's cheeseburger), you know what you're gonna get every time...a good quality vape (err...cheeseburger).

Yup. I used to use the 1.7Ω SmokTech Resurrectors a lot, but once you scorch 'em, they stay scorched. Boges are a lot more forgiving if you run 'em dry...just fill 'em back up and "cigar puff" 'em a couple of times...back in business.

I just got two 5pks of Boge XL LR Cartomizers in a couple days ago. I also vape 100% VG - I order from Johnson Creek, there mixed with ionized water, and Dripeez, which is mixed with distilled water. I mostly syringe fill them at home, but drip when I'm out. Boge cartomizers are the best. I've tried Smoktech, but every cartomizer gave a burnt taste. I tried Clearomizers and tanks, and smoktechs, nothing worked until I ran into Boges. Like NYC said, find what works. Ego-C twist batteries with Boge XL LR Cartomizers is what works for me.

> I just got ten boge LR catromizers in the mail today and I was really psyched to try them out.
> am I doing something wrong? do boges just not work with thicker VG juices ?

You make it sound like you have used something different in the past that worked -- what was it?

I use Boge 2.0/LR's exclusively. You find something that works and you stick with it until you hear of something better. I absolutely use nothing but 100% VG and the same flavor...at least for the past 6-8 months. Zero issues here. Carto's and VG and just that way -- VG is going to be thick. I wouldn't dare to try to drip into a carto (any brand) with 100% VG. I start all cartos via syringe. When I'm home any refilling is done the same. When I am at work or I am out and about I will drip and wait, but if you are dealing with VG, yeah you are going to want to slowly inject vs. drip and wait. Once it's saturated, dripping isn't so bad. It's a VG thing not a carto brand thing.

ha, what an idiotic argument the one guy puts up. i love it when tool's like that say "even the FDA says it needs long term studies" so it must not be safe!

when are people going to wake up and look at all the things the FDA says are dangerous for us? if the FDA were really looking out for us why are cigarettes still legal in the first place?

the money trail tied to certain government agencies is disgusting.....

one day America will wake up and realize that the Govt. is supposed to fear us. not the other way around.

I like USA's Favorite Blend from Awsome Vapor. Nothing is going to taste the same as an analog but,this is close

If you are having trouble with Ego's you will really be bummed with some of the fancy suggestions you are getting.I would look a little closer into why you are have trouble with possibly the simplest PV out there.I would hate to see you spend $100.00's only to find out there is a flaw in youre technique.

I've noticed so many users on here claim that they've been analog free for however many days, months or years. I wish to have a similar claim to make, but I have returned to analogs so many times since starting to vape regularly... Especially around my analog smoking friends. I can't put my finger on what it is that still draws me back. If anyone has struggled with this and overcome it, what did you do differently? Or, what gave you the ultimate motivation to stick to vaping in the end?

I would absolutely love to only vape... Everything about it is better, health-wise and even psychologically, it is more pleasing, I can be more energetic, etc. So why do you think I break down and get a pack every now and then? I get the same urge to go buy a pack that I did before I vaped whenever I was out of cigs.

Thanks for any and all tips/comments.

Soon we will have to consider taking the line "land of the free" out of the National Anthem.

The WHO does not care about individuals.
Quit or die,it's the same message from every so called health org.
Besides in their eyes smokers/vapors are a less productive
more costly,as far as health care,2nd class citizen that they
would be better off without.
It's the same reasoning that lets drunk drivers have the freedom to
be multiple repeat offenders,sooner or later they'll die from their actions and be
one less statistic drawing from the health care resources.

Lets face it,with 7 billion people in the world,individuals have no value
to the so called leaders we have.Any advancements will have to come as
a collective effort so that those in power see a loss in revenue or we won't
have any bargaining power at all....

hmmm guess i better get off this soap box and go take a nap before someone decides
I have strong and possibly anti-establishment opinions

I don't care what the law is or is going to be, tobacco is tobacco and nicotine is not tobacco, if the law is wise then it's not smart enough recognize this fact. Test have been done, and they show exactly what we believe. Even if our e-cigs become controlled like analogs, we should do what is right and live free of control - if you disagree, look at the war on cannabis/drugs.

TL;DR = PV for just about everyone except my mother, who has lost 4 ecigs that I have bought her.

I also use "Puffer" as an affectionate name around my friends who ask to use it. "Hey can I use your puffer?"

I talk to a lot of people who smoke, because everyone that I know smokes just about. And at the gun range I get hassled a lot about my guns, and then they see me sucking on my device and they get questioning and I use Personal Vaporizer just because a lot of them think cigarettes are still cool.

I had a gentleman who quit smoking 10 years ago (granted he is a complete idiot, and the range warden on Wednesdays...) ask me what it was, and I told him that I used it to quit cigarettes. He boasted that he did it cold turkey, and when I told him that I quit cigarettes, he mumbled, "Well, almost." and that pissed me off and I simply don't deal with ignorance. I informed him that it was 100% safe and that nicotine is just about the same as caffeine. (Yes I know that the constriction of blood vessels caused by nicotine is a good cause of heart disease.) And he said he didn't believe it and that I was an idiot to think that this was safer...I no longer talk to this man.

So long as you get off of analogs, I am proud of you no matter how you did it.
