  1. For sweet flavors: I LOVE the Johnson Creek Peach - Reduced PG version makes huge clouds of vapor. Also like the VT Midnight and Grape Soda. For traditional flavors: I like Dulcis (even though it may be considered a "sweet" flavor) and Johnson Creek Tobacco. My favorite mixture, I know it sounds weird, but about 2/3 VT Midnight and 1/3 JC Tobacco. The tobacco gives it a richer flavor. Perfect for nighttime vaping. I like to mix any of the sweet flavors with a little tobacco, just me
  2. Hey fellas, I already posted this video in the newbie section but i thought it would fit better here. Check it out. The vid cuts off at the end where i show the vapor production, but the mod demonstration is all there. Have fun with it. Good Luck! --Kevin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Qi73aT7hoY
  3. I can see the points Galex made against the unknown factor of e-cigs, but like you said, Keenan, they are all about the unknown. There might be something unsafe about inhaling PG on a daily basis, but I can't see how it can be worse than inhaling over 4,000 carcinogens in the same way. I'm just saying that the FDA needs to conduct some more in-depth investigations before they make irrational decisions. It makes me wonder if their getting paid off by Phillip Morris and other large tobacco companies. Analog cigarettes should be illegal, even though I once loved them
  4. I recently stumbled upon this article by the FDA. I will address their concerns and give my personal take on them. The link to the article is FDA Warns of Health Risks Posed by E-Cigarettes The FDA made three arguments: 1.)"e-cigarettes can increase nicotine addiction among young people and may lead kids to try other tobacco products, including conventional cigarettes, which are known to cause disease and lead to premature death" My response: First of all, scientists have found that nicotine is not harmful to your health, just addictive. Nicotine is addictive much in the same way as caffeine. Many people find these two to effect the body in a pleasant way. Neither chemical is generally dangerous to your health in moderation, but both are addictive. What's wrong with wanting a cup or two of coffee in the morning when you need a little pick-me-up? Analogously, what's wrong with having your dose of nicotine when you need to relax the mind after a stressful situation? I don't see anything wrong with being addicted to a non-harmful substance if it offers happiness or pleasure. Second, many e-cig users hate the taste of cigarettes and don't use them after they are committed "vapers". Being drunk makes you want to smoke more, but alcohol is legal, even though it is responsible for a large percentage of DEATHS each year. Amount of deaths e-cigs have caused: ZERO 2.)"the products may contain ingredients that are known to be toxic to humans" and 3.)"because clinical studies about the safety and efficacy of these products for their intended use have not been submitted to FDA, consumers currently have no way of knowing 1) whether e-cigarettes are safe for their intended use, or 2) about what types or concentrations of potentially harmful chemicals or what dose of nicotine they are inhaling when they use these products" My response: Many e-liquid companies print a list of ingredients used in their liquids right on the bottle. So before you inhale anything, a responsible consumer will read this list and determine whether or not they want to ingest such a substance. The ingredients used in most e-liquids are Nicotine (the amount of nicotine per mL is listed on bottle) Propylene Glycol and/or Vegetable Glycerin (basically sugar compounds found to kill many common viruses/diseases associated with the lungs), Distilled Water, Natural and Artificial Flavors, and Citric Acid (as a preservative). The bottles also state that nicotine is an addictive and potentially harmful chemical in case of overdose, instructing the consumer to do their research. I've noticed that people try to shut down things that they are ignorant about. Unfortunately, e-cigs are no exception. Happy Vaping Everyone! --Kevin
  5. Thanks! FINALLY got it up there. Had some issues with the camera. The vid cuts off at the end where I show the vapor production, but the mod demo is all there. Hope this helps. --Kevin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Qi73aT7hoY
  6. I got some headaches when I started vaping. To me, it seemed like juice with reduced PG didn't give me any headaches. It could be coincidence
  7. I found that the PTB mods work the best. I don't like dripping because you have to keep dripping every few drags. I recently modified the PTB mod that alot of people use. I've found that the juice goes toward the folds of the tea bag. so i do the same thing that everyone else does with the PTB only i flip it upside-down (fold facing upward). Then i cut a small triangle slot down right in the center of the fold. The triangle slot creates a pocket for the atomizer bridge to go and the triangle shape cause the tea bag to squeeze the bridge. Just try it and stick something down the triangle slot to see how it squeezes whatever is being pushed into it. This mod makes CLOUDS of vapor. I should be posting a video on youtube to demostrate soon.
