The Vapor Room
Alien Visions
Heather's Heavenly Vapes
Alice in Vapeland
VaporTalk (of course)

Those would be my "must-try" recommendations. All vendors except VaporTalk offer premium flavors, made fresh on order.

Alien Visions can be a pain to order from if you don't know how to do it. They open daily at 8:00 am PST, and close upon reaching a limit of 300 orders. The trick is to get yourself registered, and add items to your Wishlist. Then, log in to their site a few minutes before they open, go into your cart, and refresh your browser until they open. Once they do, get your payment in as fast as possible, because they'll reach their order limit as fast as 5 minutes after opening their store.

Get your juice in quantity. If you like it, you may run out before you can order more. If you don't like it, you can easily sell or trade for a premium!!!

This should help get a nice and easy hit:

This too:




I know its all on how to properly inhale off an e-cig, but the majority of factors working towards getting a "good hit" are directly related to inhalation technique. The VG and nic content of your juice are another part of it, while your equipment comprises the rest of the equation.

Personally, I wouldn't ever assume VG content is 50/50. Rather, one should figure unspecified ratio leans towards a higher PG content. Doesn't mean you cannot get a good vape.... this is where your equipment comes in.

Having a greater airflow across your atomizer's coil will result in more vapor. If you are drawing too hard, you need more inflow of air, and a hotter coil to keep up. Otherwise, you'll kill your vape. If you draw too loose, you'll just end up burning the wick in your atty, and get very little vapor in return. Therefore, a balance must be struck. And, unless you're a more advanced user with a proclivity for getting all MacGuyver and modifying your equipment to meet your demands, you need to learn to properly draw off your e-cig.

Since this is probably becoming more confusing than helpful, I'll leave it there. Save to say that a proper draw is the key to a good vape. Learn your gear, know your juice, and you'll never have a bad vape!!!

Hope this helps!!! :p

Well, I keep telling you that I'm very willing to buy the rest of your Boba's stash off you!!! To me it tastes like a premium pipe tobacco...

If your juice tastes like chemicals, don't vape it!!!! Chances are it wasn't made fresh.... Steeping shouldn't require shaking. Just let it sit, and mellow out. As a general rule, the more complex the flavor (ie: Boba's Bounty), the longer you should let it steep. The Vapor Room is a good place to start for "fresh-made" juice. They make their juice fresh for your order, it doesn't taste like chemicals, and though it is preferable to let it steep for a few days, you can use it right away with no real discernible incongruity. For pre-steeped juices, I gotta give a plug for Christopher and recommend VaporTalk juice. Though the only one I've had of his was Dulcis. I didn't care for it at first, but it really grew on me after a couple tanks!!!

Welcome to the community!!!! You're lungs are in good hands here, but unfortunately your wallet isn't. By this time next year, you and your man will start to wonder if quitting analogs actually saved you any money. On the bright side though, you'll have a ton of vape gear, and you won't smell like an ashtray anymore!!! :p

Can't go wrong with any of that. Let's hope the old man can convert. Good to see you're still around, BTW!!!

A husband, tired of his wife asking him how she looks, buys her a full-length mirror. This does little to help, as now she just stands in front of the mirror, looking at herself, asking him how she looks.

One day, fresh out of the shower, she is yet again in front of the mirror, now complaining that her breasts are too small. Uncharacteristically, the husband comes up with a suggestion. “If you want your breasts to grow, then every day take a piece of toilet paper and rub it between your breasts for a few seconds.”

Willing to try anything, the wife fetches a piece of toilet paper, and stands in front of the mirror, rubbing it between her breasts. “How long will this take?” she asks. “They’ll grow larger over a period of years,” he replies.
...
The wife stops. “Why do you think rubbing a piece of toilet paper between my breasts everyday will make my breasts grow over the years?” she asks.

The husband shrugs, “Why not, it worked for your ass, didn’t it?”

Hi all!
I just got into vaping when an old friend of mine actually bought me an ego-c for my 30th bday (which just passed on Friday). When I posted on Twitter that I wanted to quit smoking analogs (cold turkey) when I turned 30, he went online and purchased me a kit from ConstantVapor.com. I got my kit June 11th, and have been analog free since then. When my BF smokes analogs around me, the smell of it makes me want to gag. I honestly can't believe I used to smoke cigarettes for so long!
BF is actually thinking of getting a kit for himself, since I started, just so that we can vape together. To be honest, vaping has been the best decision for my health that I've made in a long time.

Well I bought him a 1300mah vision spinner and the vapeonly bcc mini. I also picked him up a 10 pack 3ml sampler from tvr. Let's hope he will make an attempt to stick with it. Only time will tell.

ECF is a bunch of complainers, much more laid back here....

As I get farther the more I want a mod. The mini Provari has my attention lol. Just need to research a bit more before going there. I would still use my Spinners and basic Ego threaded batteries a lot I'm sure but I'm itching to get something new too. There are Kanger Pros in my future too as soon as the mini becomes available.

Welcome to the forum, and the beginning of your new life!!!

Being new, getting everything from one vendor is attainable, though highly unlikely. Yes, you can get reasonably priced starter kits that will come with everything to get you started. However, you're going to need a few extra things to keep you going, and give you the best chances for success.

Juice, for instance, is highly subjective. You are going to want to buy way more than you need. And, you're going to want them in a variety of flavors, and nicotine strengths to find what you like. Trust when I say that you really do not want to face the prospect of staring at your last 1ml while you still haven't received confirmation your next juice order has even shipped.

My best advice is to:
1) Do your research, and do not be too hasty with your first purchase
2) Buy more than what you need to start
3) Always have a backup or four
4) Learn to properly draw off your e-cig
5) NEVER LOOK BACK!!!!

Hope this helps!!!

Also, with a gadget called "Zorbas," you can turn your mechanical mod into an 18-watt regulated powerhouse.



(Personally, I prefer a gadget called a "Genesis" with a 0.8 ohm coil build that turns my mechanical mod into a 22+-watt unregulated smokestack.....but that's just me!! :p )

Oh gosh, I did toss a heavy sentence or two out there didn't I. LOL Sorry about that. I've so got to take a breath now and again. Thanks for bearing with me and ... for your compliments as well. LOL, that made me giggle.
I'm no expert, believe me.

Vision Spinner is a must have.
Vamo is a great VV/VW affordable mod. (if you have good memory for how to access the menu). (it's also way tall and kind of awkward in public. You'll appreciate your Spinner in public, trust me). Made in China.
Mini Provari V2 is VV and rocks the house with the easiest to use menu because you don't have to memorize anything, just push the one button. It's built to last through the WWZ too. Made in America. Expensive, but worth every penny.
Mechanical Mod's have no wires, no electronics and nothing to break but springs which are easily replaceable. Yet, with a gadget called a "Kick" you can turn it into a Variable Watt wonder. (set the watts and your atomizer becomes your favorite sweet spot vape no matter what it's OHMs is).

I'll stop here. promise!

Not to mention, oil based favors are really bad for heating elements!
Beyond that, if you really want to know what's in the liquids, DIY is the way to go. For the most part, the flavorings are actually food flavorings. I avoid the darker flavorings (just a thing for me). I'm not exactly sure what's used in most food flavorings.

Inhaling anything into the lungs (sometimes even air) is not healthy...it's about weighing risk vs benefit...we each have to make our own choices in the end

gingers ry4, tvr ry4, my own menthol, my own blueberry (mixed with said menthol)....yep.

Right on.....I live in SE. Escape Vapors (I think that's the name) is located on NE 82nd ave. right by Madison High School. They're on Facebook. If you have one, get added to the VapOregon group while you're at it!!!

LOL!! It's my pleasure to take the blame whenever I can. :vapor:

Mmmmmmaybe......
I blame you for this, you know. When out & about and people ask about my RBA, I tell them Uma made me do it!!!

:p

Can't go wrong with a mod. The Vamo is a great starter mod if you want variable power. Otherwise, there are plenty of electrical-base and mechanical mods that are well-built and readily available on the cheap.

The Sigelei #8 and 13a, the Natural, and K100/K101 mechanicals are all available under $50, solid battletanks, and attractive daily-drivers. The Silver Bullet is a good electrical-base mod that has been a standard in the vaping community. The only drawback is the price...but, you pay for good quality.

Nothing unfortunate about "store-brand" e-cigs....especially in a podunk little place like Hermiston. What starts as over the counter disposables eventually turns into mods and rebuildables. Ultimately, keeping people off traditional tobacco cigarettes is the result we want to see.

Here in Oregon, I've noticed a huge increase in e-cig use and acceptance in the last three months. We even got our first vapor lounge!!! Six months ago, when I started Vaping, the presence wasn't near what it is today. Hopefully, it will increase in the next year to where we will get our Vapor Con NW!!! :

That's a good question. It seems that eCigs are all over the place up here, though. Amazingly enough, I found that they've taken over in the Hermiston and Tri-Cities area. We were in the Walmart in Hermiston and they literally have an entire check stand setup with nothing but eCigs. Unfortunately, they were all the "over the counter" brands, but I was impressed that a small "farming" type community would embrace them so readily.

Then why the serious lack of vape meets over this way?? Why can't the West Coast have events like the VapeBash and Vapor Con events on the East Coast???
