  2. Yes I'm still using the PeeWee and it's working like a champ. I have a Pilot on the way along with a Classic Penstyle. I should also be ordering a KISSBOX set in about a week or so.
  3. ha ha no doubt, we actually have a friend that has a fake parrot we thought about using it, but decided to leave it out
  4. I have not had the chance to order one yet, but I plan to place an order on monday (if Steve has any of the black colored left) From what I'm told the battery life is longer and the vapor is comparable to a Peewee. The automizer is supposed to last longer than the PeeWee automizer. As soon as I get one in the mail I'll post a video review
  5. Just got this great responce for Christian over at Johnsons Creek Smoke Juice Thanks Chris, and I'm very glad to hear that you're enjoying our smoke juice! As for the FDA/regulations question, I'd be glad to respond and offer my thoughts on the matter: "FDA? Bring 'Em On!" by Christian Berkey President, Johnson Creek Enterprises, LLC _________________________________ You know, we all here so many different stories from order seizures to the absolute inevitable ban of anything 'e-smoking', that it's often very difficult to cull through everything and figure out what's really going on. No matter what happens though, we as the founding members of this phenominal industry, must make every effort to quell the rumors and work to gain real, tangible facts. To date, Johnson Creek has been in contact with several people at the FDA to try and find out where our industry is going to be heading in the near future. What I can tell you with certainty is that they know about e-smoking, they don't consider it a danger, they are aware of a small handful of temporary merchandise holds, but deny making any permanent seizures. Whether this is true or not is almost beside the point. I firmly believe that we have considerably less to worry about than many would have us believe. Is the FDA going to come in and ban e-smoking altogether? No. Come on, get real. Is the FDA going to to wade into this and begin regulating? Of course they are. Probably not real soon, but eventually. I think our stance needs to be "so what?" That is, the company who's primary focus is their customers and their customers' well-being, has nothing to worry about. That's the company who will welcome the opportunity to "legitamize" themselves and hold themselves open for examination. Then, we can move beyond the paranoia and concentrate full-time on our customers. We have have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity here to give millions of people a choice that most of them never even dreamed of. Let me ask you; how much do you like e-smoking? Yeah, me too. Well, once the rest of the world knows about e-smoking, look out because all you have to do is take your love of e-smoking and multiply that by a few million and you've got an idea where this industry is going to be in about five years. So bring on the FDA! The e-Smoking industry is ready and we're not going anywhere! Kind Regards, Christian Berkey President, Johnson Creek Enterprises, LLC Johnson Creek™Smoke Juice www.JohnsonCreekSmokeJuice.com
  6. "all your base are belong to us" nice Great review Royce I think I may place an order and give it a wurl.
  7. Video Review Sean and I were up for about 24 hours when we shot this video. So I figured I'd put the humor in as well:D Please click on the video, rate and subscribe! (Video Time = 8:40 for Bloopers)
  8. what I meant was, this is the Johnsons creek section, that would have to go under reviews or the Puresmoker certification section
  9. cash eliquid flavors? Isn't that from Puresmoker?
  10. As Royce has said you really need to use a syringe in order to fill the carts or your not going to get much time at all. Also I noticed that if you drip right on the mesh the atomizer starts to clog after a while (although not everyone has the issue) I've since learned that dripping on the outside of the barrel and letting it flow down works better, so far so good. Not really sure what the difference is, but it seems to work. (Also after the atomizer became clogged a quick wash in warm water fixed the issue)
  11. You know it really depends on the flavor some are stronger than others. But yea I suppose it's a bit like that, almost like each one has a base then flavor added to the base. Not sure if that makes sense or not. I did a video review today but I was so tired I was falling asleep at the camera. I should have a video review in the next day or so to add to the post.
  12. Puresmoker.com has just got some new products the The Black Pilot ECigarette! AKA M401/M402 http://www.puresmoker.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=47
  13. As I delve further and further online into research about the Electronic Cigarette and the possibility that it may become illegal here in the United States I thought to myself "who's going to fight these guys" It's just a matter of time (if it's not already in the process) Before companies such as Nicorete and Phillip Morris but a quick stop to this new technology that has allowed so many of us to finally kick the old smoking habit. I decided to start sending out letter to various companies to find out whether or not they are doing anything to help aid in the process of legalizing Electronic Cigarettes. Tonight I started with Johnsons Creek. The reason I choose them first is primarily due to the fact that they are located within the United States. They are an American Company and I don't doubt it isn't long before the long arm of the FDA send a seis and desist letter to JC. This was the letter I wrote to them "Christian, I received my order in good time and I must say your products are A+!. Some interesting articles and posts have brought my attention towards the inevitable future regulations and or ban of the electronic cigarette and/or it’s “E-Juice.” It brings me nothing but grief that we just may lose this incredible step forward in technology that has enabled so many of us to leave the old smoking habit behind. I’m curious to know if Johnsons Creek is working with the FDA or any other person(s) to help aid in the possible legalization of E-Liquid, specifically here in the United States? Again thank you for such a great product and I hope to hear back from you soon. Regards, Christopher Mc E Smoke Talk http://www.esmoketalk.com" I'd like to get some of your comments on this matter, opinions and suggestions to start in the aid of legalizing the Electronic Cigarette before it's to late. We can either stand around crying about it or get something started! I'm no lawyer by any means, but I have the time and a little resource to get started if someone can just start pointing in the right direction.
  14. You know I haven't tried the orginal tobacco just yet, but the tenn cured was very strong to me. I have never really been good with the taste buds, but to me it tastes like...almost a clove, or some type of cigar, very strong to me. I didn't like it much at all. Then again everyone loves the Riskee and I hated that too.
  15. [/youtube:1ava7ntr] This is a video from IGETCHA. Here is what he wrote....... ________________________________________________ YOUR E-CIG NEEDS YOU!!!!! SUPPORT THE VAPOUR!! hi all, some of you may know that since doing my video reviews i started to get lots of requests for me to do a video of just blowing the smoke rings that i do. i done that video but have now been challenged by a hardened marlboro cigarette smoker to a ring blowing battle! so, we was allowed a minute each to do as many rings and tricks as possible. he then sent me his footage and i had to edit it to join up with my footage to make one video. i also sent him the same video but edited slightly different. the winner is the guy who gets the most good comments and 5 star ratings! so PLEASE, when you view the video, after pressing the play button click on the screen so it takes you to youtube where you can 5 star rate it and leave a comment (nice ones please!) guys, this is good vs evil, the jedi force vs the dark side.........this is smoke vs vapour! show your support for the e-cig and PLEASE rate and leave a nice comment!!! many thanks, scott (youtube id is:- igetcha69) ps...the music is me! pps...i think i kicked his analogue ***!
  16. ALRIGHT! My Johnson's Juice just came in the mail today. Let me tell you, hmmm hmm good! Now I just woke up not to long ago and my taste buds haven't kicked in 100% so I'm not going to get down and dirty with a review just yet, but I can tell you the packaging was impressive and the peach cobbler is tasty stuff. Just what I'd expect from an American company. I'll smoke the flavors over the next day or two and then I'll create my video review. Update: Again another update The juice is great! The peach is still just as tasty and I'm now trying the Tennessee Curd which isn't to bad. I've yet to experience ANY problems with the Atomizer as some had experienced in the past. If I had to describe their Juice compared to other juices on the market, it's a bit like going from Store Brand soda to The Name brand, the name brand being Johsons Creek. The flavors are very smooth and very full. The throat kick is mild but I like that MUCH better. I'm using the NON PG formula and it's seems to settle much better in the lungs than PG does. The vapor production seems to be spot on the same if not VERY close to PG vapor. So far it's look good for Johnson's Creek. I'll be sure to do a side by side comparison of the PG vs None PG.
  17. This should be in the news area but I found it important enough to post here. Costco and Target are already selling the E Smoke online and Walgreens is next up. Walgreens also plans to sell the NJOY in stores in the near future...! http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/ ... y0124.html This is going to be great especially if we run out of liquid and need a quick refill. The NJOY carts will work seamlessly with the PeeWee/RN4081. A little pricey but I hope NJOY works to change this in time
  18. As Royce pointed out the Janty Minifogger is not the same is the PeeWee, Janty is sort of on their own. I'm sure they are also re brand but I'm not sure who their supplier is. Check out the memberlist here on the forum and look up Parked. Send him a PM, he will be able to answer wether or not the PeeWee will work with that charger, he owns the PeeWee, Dura and Minifogger.
  19. Well you gotta hand it to the guy at least he was straight up and honest about it. Most politicians would just lie. What would be great is if someone could send him an electronic cigarette to try out. (How would you go around doing that anyway lol) Then again I'm not sure if they are going to let the new president ingest something that has very little research done on it. Nevertheless it could be a way for it to become permanently sold in the United States or at least a way for the FDA to kick into gear and start testing these things.
  20. 1.) Dry Throat and / or Sore Throat - PG is a humectrant and when vaping the back of the throat gets coated. You can find that after sleeping, you wake up with a sore throat. Things that can help are drinking a glass of water before bed, gargling with a mouthwash to cut the PG coating before bed, drinking water throughout the day, using hard candies and drinking liquids with honey liquid thru the day to keep your mouth moist. 2.) Acne breakouts - Many e-smokers find that if they switch completely they experience small breakouts of acne. This seems to be a reaction to the body expelling toxins and is consistent with the symptoms found when quitting smoking. What else have folks experienced ? 3.) Hiccups - Hiccups are common among smokers and tobacco users. They're a result of swallowing nicotine. Hiccups are most common among those who use chewing tobacco, snus, dissolvable tobacco tablets. They swallow tobacco juice and hiccups can result. They are not common among pipe and cigar smokers, who neither swallow nor inhale smoke, or users of nasal snuff. If you tend to "gulp" your vapor or let it sit in your mouth and then inhale sharply - you're sending part of the inhalation to your stomach, part to your lungs. The stomach part produces hiccups from the nicotine you put there. 4.) Headaches, Nausea & Shakiness - These are common nicotine withdrawal symptoms. If you are using a low dose of nicotine and not taking in as much as when you normally smoked, you can experience these withdrawal symptoms. These withdrawal symptoms typically last only a few days to a week. 5.) Muscle Cramps and Aches - some people report increased muscle pains. The PG in most nicotine mixtures breaks down into Lactic Acid, which needs to be eliminated from the body. Increasing water intake usually addresses this problem. Not reported as much when using VG (vegetable glycerin) mixtures. 6.) Night Sweats - a few people have reported this and they have generally found out that they have an intolerance or allergic reaction to PG. There are a few pre-packaged liquids available with VG instead, but most people end up making their own liquid if they suspect a PG reaction. 7.) Diarrhea - this is another symptom that seems to be most commonly reported by people that have a reaction to PG and switching to VG seems to solve the problem. 8.) Coughing - this is very typical, and the severity and duration will depend on how heavy a smoker you were before switching, and how many real smokes you still have while e-smoking. Even when quitting smoking without using e-cigs, people find that their body starts coughing up all the junk they've been putting in - tars, chemicals, etc. When e-smoking, some folks find they start coughing up this junk within a week or two - some faster. The duration will vary, but most people were finding that the morning cough went away in the first week and the rest of the junk came up within the first month - but it's very common. 9.) Mouth Ulcers / Canker Sores - multiple folks have experienced this. Oral ulcers are a common result of ceased cigarette smoking, affecting about two out of five quitters. The nicotine being absorbed through your mouth can also exacerbate this, as folks using nicotine gum also have experienced these mouth sores. After you vap, drink something to rinse your mouth out. This will get the nic out of your mouth and not give it a chance to sit there and irritate your mouth tissue and cause a sore. 10.) Racing Pulse, Dizziness, Slurred Speech - these are very common with a nicotine overdose. Sometimes we overestimate just how much nicotine we were getting with regular cigarettes, and underestimate how much we are vaping - particularly at the beginning. Racing pulse is the most common, slurred speech less so - but usually too much nicotine. Try cutting down the dosage in your cartridges or liquids or vaping less frequently. However, some people experience this even with a low nicotine liquid and find that switching to Vegetable Glycerin (VG) solves their problems. 11.) Heartburn - some folks have reported heartburn / acid symptoms. Not enough information yet to guess why - but these symptoms seem to come after a couple of weeks of e-smoking and then go away again. Could just be an adjustment symptom, but users have reported it happening. ---- AND SOME GOOD "SYMPTOMS" ---- Since we don't want to focus on just the negatives, I wanted to put in some positive words from our experienced users. First, most people adjust in the first week to symptoms. Dry throat and sore throat are easily remedied, and things like headaches or gas tend to go away quickly. Sinuses clearing up - this is a wonderful thing when it starts happening. Your sense of smell starts to come back, stuffiness goes away, etc. You start noticing the smell of other people's smoke, or more subtle smells you've forgotten about as a smoker. The downside is you also start to smell the nastier smells too. Smoker's Morning Cough going away - most people find that the annoying first thing in the morning coughing session goes away. Depending on how bad that was for you as a smoker, this is a definite milestone. Deeper, Clear Breathing - as your body clears all the toxins away, you start breathing deeper. Some folks actually find they get dizzy initially, as they are taking in more oxygen. Many smokers actually breathe really shallow, especially if they've been smoking for a long while - so the change can be quite dramatic. Smoke Smell Begone - no more stale smoke smell in your hair, your clothes, your home, your car. Downside is once your sense of smell comes back, you're prone to go on a massive cleaning spree - especially if you smoked in your home because you suddenly realize how bad it smells. Taken From ECF
  21. Check it out Janty is now offering a portable charge case. Smoke your Janty inscrew the battery and then pop it back in the case! Not bad! Here is a video review from Janty's biggest fan "Parked" [/youtube:1enfsy3h]
  22. You know at this point in time it's really to hard to tell. But I'm sure if you had a NIC overdose you would know right away. I think the most important tool that we can use to avoid a nicotine overdose it to listen to our bodies. I personally smoke the medium e-juice. For the most part I haven't had any issues, what I have noticed however seems to be a constant headache. Now this could be a number of things, either A: I spend WAY to much time on the computer B: I'm using to much nicotine or C: I just found I need special reading glasses for the computer. I was smoking high carts at first but I have since switched over to medium I may move to low but I'm not sure yet. Every so often I get a strong urge to smoke an Analog and the medium doesn't cut it, I have a few high carts laying around and as soon as I smoke those I"m good to go. The honest truth is we are guinea pigs in this brave new world of smoking. There really isn't enough research to back up the long term effects.
  23. Tristan from http://www.esmoking101.com has been kind enough to share some of the photo's on his website. Not only does Tristan run Esmoking101 but he is also a freelance photographer. You can see more of his work here. http://www.flickr.com/photos/tristanpope/ I plan to add these (and some more of Tristans work) to the up coming image gallery that will be installed on the forums in the near future.
  24. Supplier: Johnson Creek Original Smoke Juice Website: http://www.johnsoncreeksmokejuice.com/ Products Offered by supplier: Christian Berkey offers 10 different E-Juice flavors. They also have a unique none PG version of all there juices! Instead they use high food-grade vegetable glycerin, a safe consumable compound used in many desserts and sauces Discount and Coupon Codes: No known discounts Products Ordered: Original Tobacco, Wild Cherry, Vanilla Ice Cream, Chocolate Almond Decadence, Arctic Mint, Tennessee Cured, Peach Cobbler, Sweet Strawberry, Mint Chocolate Madness, and Smooth Hickory all in the none PG formula. Processing Time: Took about 1 day Shipping Time: We placed our order late on Jan/20/2009. Items arrived in the mail Jan/24/2009. Fast Shipping! Dead On Arrival?: All products where nicely shipped. The shipment also came with a nice "welcome to E-Smoking" guide. JC definitely met the expectations you would expect from an American Company. Summery: First off we would like to note Christians friendly and prompt response to any questions sent via email. The E-Juices are very flavorful and the none PG formula creates the exact same amount of smoke that the PG juices do. I also noticed that the none PG formula seems to be a little easier on the lungs than PG, the throat kick is mild which I personally prefer. At the moment our favorites are Vanilla Ice Cream, (really does taste just like French Vanilla Ice Cream) and Peach Cobbler <!-- s:love: --><!-- s:love: --> So just how does Johnson Creeks's Juice taste compared to your normal run of the mill E Smoke Juices? I'd have to describe it a little like going from store brand soda to name brand soda. The quality and flavor is higher and richer. E Smoke Talk proudly certifies <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.johnsoncreeksmokejuice.com/">http://www.johnsoncreeksmokejuice.com/</a><!-- m --> I would also like to note that apparently JC juice had some issues last year (their prior extraction process) in which the juice was causing customers atomizers to go dead. They have since changed the processe in which they filter the liquid, I have used the liquid now for a little over 12 hours and have yet to see any drop in performance on my atomizer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39XTyQEkzEY
  25. Supplier: Pure Smoker Website: http://www.puresmoker.com Products Offered by supplier: PeeWee Pocket Mini ECig Classic Penstyle ECig Pure eJuice CaSH eLiquid Various Accessories (Syringe and Ecig Case) Discount and Coupon Codes: Free shipping on all orderds over $99 - One thing we would like to note here: As you order items the total may reach $100 however you will not receive free shipping until your total reaches around $120 this is because the system does not count tax as total cost. Although we understand the logic behind this it's a bummer! Email Response Time Not the fastest. Although Steve is very friendly I think the large amount of traffic he is getting at the moment is causing a little bit of overload. Steve however has mentioned on another popular Smoke Forum that he plans to hire more employees in the near future. Regardless of the response time Steve is always helpful and willing to give advice when needed. Products Ordered: We have ordered quite a bit from Puresmoker. Here is what has been ordered as of 1/22/2009 1 of : White PeeWee $47.95 1 of : 5ml Injector/Syringe $1.99 1 of : Cash Cola - 30ml - High (24mg) $19.99 1 of : Cash Cola - 30ml - Medium (16mg) $19.99 1 of : PeeWee Atomizer $9.99 1 of : PeeWee Cartridges (Pack of 5) - Marlboro - Low (11MG Nicotine Content) $3.95 1 of : Riskee Yuice! - 30ml - Medium (16mg) $19.99 1 of : Riskee Yuice! - 50ml - High (24mg) $29.99 1 of : French Vanilla - 10ml - High (24mg) $9.99 1 of : Green Apple - 10ml - Medium (16mg) $9.99 1 of : Matte Black PeeWee $47.95 1 of : PeeWee Atomizer $9.99 6 of : PeeWee Cartridges (Pack of 5) - Marlboro - High (18MG Nicotine Content) $23.70 2 of : PeeWee Cartridges (Pack of 5) - Menthol - Medium (14MG Nicotine Content) $7.90 1 of : Cash Cola - 10ml - Medium (16mg) $9.99 1 of : PeeWee Atomizer $9.99 Processing Time: Usually 24-48 hours Shipping Time: Items are sent via USPS Priority Mail Esmoketalk.com is located in California and so is Puresmoker.com thus the arrival time is normally 24 hours. However most will usually wait 2-3 days max. Regardless we have never had issues with items being sent late from Steve. Steve is always helpful, friendly and very prompt. He really sets the standard for the Electronic Cigarette industry. He has a fanboy base like you wouldn't believe. <!-- s:D --><!-- s:D --> Dead On Arrival?: We had one issue with a Matte Black battery which came in a starter kit. I contacted Steve and he shipped the battery with my next order. He was prompt and very helpful. We have ordered a ton of stuff from Steve and never had any issues. He guarantees DOA and he proved us correct with the battery replacement. Again top notch service Summery: All in all Steve is the best in the west! We have no complaints whatsoever. Steve continues to improve his already top notch service and we could not ask for more. The starter kits are great and the juice is fantastic.
