  1. Legally we cannot give you medical advice but I strongly suggest that you speak with your doctor about vaping. First off, congratulations for trying to stop smoking, but remember vaping isn't meant to help you quit instead it's an alternative to smoking. There are a few things you should know about Nicotine. Nicotine stimulates the central nervous system. Whether you smoke a cigarette, vape or absorb nicotine from a patch, your body responds by releasing a hormone called epinephrine (adrenaline). Its effects range from increased energy and awareness to high blood pressure, a rise in heart rate, and nervousness. A the same time, high blood pressure by itself, or accompanied by nervous jitters and a fast heart rate, can be a sign of nicotine withdrawal. So an increase in your blood pressure could also mean you are not getting enough nicotine. You can see that either way, you risk elevating your blood pressure. So it's important that you speak with your doctor first before you continue vaping. As for Taxes on imports that depends on each countries import tax laws. I do believe you are taxed on electronic cigarette products into the United Kingdom regardless of it's source.
  2. Yup that is correct it is a mod not a generalization.
  3. eh, that's a lot of money. You have to think to yourself, where has it gone from a smoking alternative to just an obsession over a new device. In saying that though, I have the Pro Vari and in my personal opinion it's the best mod money can buy - BUT it still looks like a sexy toy. I can't sit down in a meeting and use something like this. Now the model in the video looks a lot more "professional" and I'd rather get pulled over with something that looks like a Janty Stick than a crack pipe. If it's variable voltage, works as well as my pro vari and is built to last. I'll shell out the cash. But I swear to god if it's just another battery pack on ebay that's been modified...
  4. Tell him when it tastes like burnt toast or burnt plastic to switch. He'll know when it happens.
  5. I would NOT add alcohol to the liquid or tank. Remember if you go more VG you loose throat hit. More PG the more throat hit.
  6. oh yea all the time lol
  7. I hate people like that. Luckily for me I have one grump a** "I'm not in the mood" looking face. All the time. When I do vape indoors (which I try not to) I can tell they want to say something but the look on my face is enough for them to put their head back down where it belongs.
  8. If the supplier is fast there is no reason why it shouldn't be here tomorrow. Priority mail is at max 3 days from one end of the US to the other if mailed within 24 hours of ordering Did the suppliers provide you a tracking number?
  9. You could always glue a quarter on the end. If not that then the Pro Vari is pretty awesome.
  10. Well thank you It takes a lot of work for the staff and I to keep things running smooth. Compliments are always welcome Glad to have you here.
  11. How to direct drip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h14QDp4v3O4&feature=player_embedded
  12. For me it's a soft top 510 cartomizer @ 4.1 volts Perfection.
  13. Yes there are suppliers who sell the wall portion separate....
  14. How many drags do you take after dripping? I would normally only take about 5 at the most. Also wouldn't bother blowing out the atomizer at night. Way back when we used to think it helped but it doesn't seem to make to much of a difference honestly.
  15. If you do dewick the atomizer be sure that you are no longer using cartridges. The burn taste usually come if either A. The filler his hit the heating element B. You have not added enough liquid when direct dripping. C. You where using cartridges and let the cart get to dry. As for boiling, while it might help, usually adding a little bit of liquid and then taking 5 or 6 drags without inhaling will usually rid of the bad taste.
  16. Yup totally normal. Just keep some refreshments close by and you'll be good to go
  17. It's to bad because it gives the American vendors a bad name.
  18. It's slowly growing. It's curiously taken longer than other forums but we have some quality members here IMO. I can only imagine the stats ECF is pulling in.
  19. Yes. Nicotine naturally has a peppery taste. Lower strength bottles tend to have a bit more flavor. Though it's not noticeable enough to make a difference IMO.
  20. A lithium-ion battery typically lasts between 2-3 years. Eventually, the cell resistance reaches a point where the battery can no longer deliver the stored energy although the battery may still have ample charge. eCig batteries will drain slowly even when not in use so it's a good idea to charge them up once in a while. (every couple of months should be fine) Room temperature storage is good, just keep them out of the heat. A junk drawer or desk drawer would be adequate
