  1. Many hotels will accept your shipment and hold it to you arrive or place it in your room if you have a reservation.

    Sounds like a good idea, my problem with that is..I have to fly to Seattle, and then meet a cruise ship.

    I'm not sure you can send stuff ahead.

  2. GlockMATT -

    Sorry to hear about the vape snatching..I have to fly out of McCarran in a few months time and don't wish to meet the same fate.

    Can I ask the circumstances? Was it all carry-on?

    I would really hate to be without on my vacation.

  3. I'm going on an Alaskan cruise and was curious to see if this subject had been approached here on VT, and I happened on this thread...

    Thought I'd pass on the regs aboard Princess Cruises at least...I was MORE than pleased to see E-cigs not only covered, but somewhat embraced IMO...times are changing :)

    "Electronic Cigarettes

    The use of electronic cigarettes is permitted in all areas onboard with the exception of dining areas and the Princess Theater. However, should a fellow passenger in the vicinity feel inconvenienced and complain, even after being told the difference between electronic cigarettes and real cigarettes, we will ask the passenger to refrain from smoking the electronic cigarette."

    This was found at http://www.princess.com/learn/faq_answer/onboard/experience.jsp

    Click the tab labeled "smoking policy change".

    I also figure the smoking policy change had to do with fires in the past while at sea...

  4. Add another fan to the pile.

    I finally got some of this juice on board and it really is a satisfying vape.

    Graham and tobacco, who would think they would be so good together? Somehow it works.

    Neither is overpowering, but you get a good taste of both. Huge vapor with this all-VG offering, but I am curious to see how quick it will plug up a carto on me.

  5. You're mentioning a burning and harshness, from my experience, it sounds like you may vaping on a Carto that is too dry. This will sometimes cause the material around the atomizer to burn slightly and give you that bad taste and burn in your lungs and throat. The problem is, once a Carto gets scorched like that it's pretty much done for giving you a smooth vape.

    Our VaporTalk Founder and fearless leader, Christopher made a really useful vid that shows how to fill your cartos up right and give you the best vape.

    Hope this helps you!

  6. When I first started vaping, I HAD to put my PV in the ashtray. I was so conditioned to reaching for the ashtray, it was the only logical place for me to set it down so as not to lose it.

    I use to grab a lighter too out of habit, damn near lit my RN4081 a few times.

    Talk about Pavlovian.

  7. Ah, takes me back to be asked that. :)

    Being a long time smoker, I was really REALLY skeptical at first about e cigs. I didn't think I could get a genuine smoking 'experience' using anything that wasn't on fire and filled with tobacco. Boy, was I wrong.

    My first unit was a RN4081 unit, a small one that looks and feels most like a real cigarette. I took that sucker out of that box, charged it up and the very first puff, I KNEW I was a vaper and an ex-smoker. The feel as I inhaled was identical to a smoke, the hand to mouth habit was satisfied also. My harshest test was how satisfying an e cig would be with my morning cup of coffee. It did the trick. I was amazed.

    This may seem a bit dramatic, but at that moment I felt the potential of these devices and I was filled with hope that I may have actually found a way out of my own smoking hell.

    The juice that came preloaded in the cartridges was ok, but light years away from the juice I ended up with as my all day vape. The device was ok, and I enjoyed that first time, but as my pre-filled cartridges ran out, I knew that my 4081 wasn't going to be enough to handle a hardcore smoker like I was.

    At that point, I decided to arm myself with any e cig knowledge I could find, that led me here....and the rest is history.

    Since then, I determined what juice I like best, and moved up to a 5 volt device. And it was good.

    I haven't looked back at cigarettes and I can't wait to see how much farther the development of e cigs goes, and (insert favorite deity here) willing, we will all get to spend just a little more time on Earth with our kids, friends and our families because of them. :)

  8. In my case, once I found the right throat hit and flavor for my liking, I just tossed my smokes and never looked back.

    You may find yourself wanting to keep them around, just toss your pack in the freezer and vape away.

    Another bit of advice that I found really helped in my case, GET BACKUP.

    If your new found device should break or get lost, you'll have a spare.

    Nothing worse than getting caught without backup.

    Welcome to VaporTalk, glad to have you here with us. :)

  9. I first heard about the story via my local Vegas news, after the story was read, the local weatherman chimed in mockingly,

    "ya know, when I light up on a flight I like to use those fake, near smokes too, makes me feel really cool"

    The way the story was presented, they really made it a point that it was an e-cig, moreso than the guys pathetic behavior almost.

    The evil e-cig made him do it!

  10. Seems his interests roam all over the globe. He even works for the US-Syrian Center for Tobacco Studies?

    It says on their site that their 'vision' they have is to "Promote scientific excellence and evidence-based public health in Syria and the Arab world." Maybe he should head over there and stay permanently. They can use all the help they can get I'd bet.

    The part that gets me is, even IF there was no nic coming out of that woman's e-cig and her quitting analogs was PURELY placebo...WHO CARES PROFESOR? This lady smoked for years and quit smoking with no hassle or cravings. Doesn't seem to be a reason to go all 'chicken little' and freak out because it's not as regulated as Chantix, which I heard on tonight's news is being linked to heart problems. It got that woman off smokes and if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    Thanks for looking into the Professor Brian, a fascinating read indeed. :)
