needing to find some good eliquid with taste I like!
bcartervol98 replied to msash09c's topic in General eLiquid Discussion
Like I said it is good right out of the box, but the flavors explode over time. There is no bad taste to steep out like with a lot of flavors I have tried. What steeping does to this liquid is just let the flavors bloom so to speak. And it is not tart at all but not overly sweet. Its like a strawberry lemonade with more strawberry than lemon. Its awesome. Nothing like other Strawberry Lemonades I have tried. -

It is great right out of the bottle but it is unbelievably better if steeped for 30-45 days. I generally order a 125ml bottle when I open my last 125ml bottle and let the new one steep until I get finished with the first one. I go through 125ml in about 40-45 days. -
I worry even less now that Reynolds and Phillip Morris are getting involved in e-cig sales. For some reason, I bet the news about their safety takes a turn about the time they release their disposables en masse.

http://www.fuzionvapor.com/sitemap.php?view=categories Their Endless Summer is about all I vape. If not it's their Unicorn Blood but nothing I have ever tried is half as good as Endless Summer. Of course everyone's taste is different. -

Well from what I read just now the FDA release this AM seems very sensible and non infringing.

I'm still stuck on Fuzion. For my taste I haven't found even a close second. -
So far really digging the Evod VV batteries I got today, maybe like them better than my spinners. Love the shape, longer and thinner but lighter as well. Hopefully they hold up as well as all my Spinners have.

That's the first I have ever heard of that, but I wouldn't be surprised to see some regulation on Mechanical Mods with so many people using them that have no idea how to do it safely. I mean just about everything that is "drug paraphernalia" is legal until you use it with drugs. I live in the bible belt where everything fun is illegal or frowned upon in some sort of way (jk, but not really) but one can still buy glass pipes and all sorts of other stuff at any of a dozen stores in my 100k town I live in. I would think a state like Cali would be more lenient given the availability of legal pot.

Guys no reason to freak out just yet, whatever is decided will take a long time to implement and will have to go through the court system before being enforced. I seem to remember one of my suppliers said even if they banned online sales it would be 2 or more years before they would be required to comply. I imagine it will set a federal standard for banning sales to minors, require child proof bottles for liquid, require labeling and ingredient disclosure, and require age verification for even online sales. I really do not mind any of these, its the impending taxes that will suck but it will be a while before we feel anything different imo. There will be a staggering amount of court challenges.

Screw humble! I humbly killed myself for almost 3 decades. Now its time to brag!!!!

I always thought the fruit flavors from sweet-vapes.com tastes like jolly ranchers in that particular flavor. Its what I wasn't fond of about it but if thats what you like its worth a try.

Whenever I convert someone, the first thing I tell them is how unbelievably easy the transition is and how much would I prefer vaping to smoking even if they both posed the same health risks (which they obv do not). I have saved enough at this point that my new (used) 34' Sea Ray Sundancer is being paid for with the savings from not smoking. Granted I haven't made it a hobby. I treat it like smoking except not. I never plan to quit, never plan to give up Nic, and I rest assured I am not harming my body anymore than visiting a big city and breathing the air. The amount of money saved and the immediate health improvements have been the highlight of the experience on a personal "me" level. Oh and a belated CONGRATS Troy.

I remember being excited when my "Smoke Free Ticker" on here hit 30 days. Seems like only yesterday.

Today marks one year I have been tobacco smoke free! Now for my story: I am 44 years old and had smoked for over 28 years when I decided to make the switch. Unlike many others I had never tried to quit before, nor had I ever tried an e-cig before. It happened all of a sudden. I went from smoking a pack and a half to 2 packs a day to never picking up another one over one weekend. Everyone that knows me know I am a University of Tennessee alumni and bleed Tennessee Orange. I was very active with the Football team when I was a student there and maintain a very close relationship today. It was Orange and White Game weekend last year and we were making plans for the weekend. We went to a party with several former players, current NFL players, and a few coaches. One of the people in town was Arian Foster, he always stays with us when he comes back in town. From the time he got into town he complained about the smoke smell lol, told my wife she was too beautiful to be killing herself, told us how lucky we were to have such an awesome son and it was a shame we wouldn't get to see him grow up. Then we went to the party and as we smokers do, my wife and I were trying to figure out who the other smokers were so we could not be "the only ones". Not a lot of smokers in a group of former-current athletes but a friend that owns a local sports talk radio station was there and he is (was) a smoker. When we got there, hit up the kegs, and asked him if he wanted to go smoke he replied "I quit, I used the electric to get over my cravings and now I have been without both for almost a month!". WHAT HE QUIT, WE ARE THE ONLY ONES? Well the ribbing continued all weekend, we stood on the field in Neyland Stadium for hours and the last few were spent jonesing for a smoke. I even snuck one in the press bathroom as many before me had based on the butts on the floor. I had an epiphany, why was I doing this to myself? It made no sense. I decided to take the route my friend had and went and bought 4 NJoy Kings and stated as of Monday morning I would never smoke another cigarette. I tool the usual route of a new vaper. My wife and I both started out there but soon realized this was going to get expensive. Next we went to the Cigar Store in the mall and bought two $150 starter kits that were garbage, worse than Blu. What happened next changed my life forever: I found Vapor Talk Forums! Based on advice I got here, I then ordered a EgoT 1000mah starter kid from VapeDudes (The battery in my front pocket right now actually) and it truly changed my life. Since then I have grown my collection. I have one APV, a Vamo V2. I actually prefer the Ego Style VV batteries to the Mods and APVs. My Vamo hardly even gets used. I have about a dozen Spinners in varying MAH ratings, Evod VVs (just came in today on my anniversary :-)), standard Ego style batteries in various styles and have found a liquid I have rarely strayed from in the last 6 months or so, Endless Summer from Fuzion. I go through 125ml of it before I do 15ml of anything else. I know, long post, but I want to finish by saying thanks. Thanks to those that helped. Thanks to those that put up with my incessant questions. Thanks to those that told me when I was doing something wrong or stupid. In closing, thanks for being a driving force in saving my and my wifes life. Without this forum I have no doubt we would still be stopping by the store to spend $50 on a carton about every other day instead of ordering liquid once every 6 weeks or so and replacement coils about once a month. We would still spend more time in the basement bathroom than we do with our son upstairs. We would still stink, our cars would still stink, and I would still be on Blood Pressure meds, Sinus meds, Allergy meds, and Anxiety meds; all of which I have been taken off of since putting down the stinkies. Sure beats the chemo we were headed for! In part, I owe my life to you guys. Thanks for helping a fella no one even knows, but I feel like we are all sort of one big family. I like our family! GO VOLS!

I do not think Troy meant it personally, we are just all concerned about people using things they do not know how to use and the act of putting foil between the batteries ranks right up there with the more dangerous things I have ever read anyone doing, sort of like using bread ties to build a coil.
-
Bump when you get something in vape mail.
bcartervol98 replied to Tam's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Just got my box of 50 coils and my two Evod 100mah VV batteries. I am excited to compare them to the Spinners I am used to. Just wanted to try something different. -
I would buy a quality 18650 and give that a try. I have used a Vamo V3 problem free for almost 10 months now. Not sure about stacking batteries, putting foil between them, or any of that stuff (is it safe?). I just charge my battery, put it in, and it works. I recommend AW IMR 18650s 2000mah. They have been great for me.

Still wanting to try the peach lol. Gonna order a sampler soon.

Two days for me Troy! Yea it's ******** but selfishly the one saving grace is Fuzion wholesales to vape shops so I would think that would be exempt based on the language I read. It's also a grey area it seems with transactions with residents of other states. Either way 250ml of my Endless Summer is getting ordered in the next few days just till it gets sorted out. I cannot imagine vaping without it. Literally everything I try I can stand for about a half a tank and I keep 10 tanks filled with my stuff.
-
At this point I only use Fuzion liquids. They are in Florida. I haven't followed this, does this bill mean I possibly will be unable to order from them from another state? States are losing their minds here. Is the tobacco lobby really able to exhibit this much influence?
-
That's the thing for me Josh. I used to worry about online sales since I have never been in a brick and mortar that didn't suck. Now I worry way more about an outright ban when someone kills their dumbass self, maybe more than one. Lithium ion batteries are nothing to play with.
-
Josh I would say the precautions you take are the exception rather than the rule. It makes me concerned for the future of vaping more than anything else.

Dropped my favorite tank so sad!
bcartervol98 replied to Mwiker's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Different strokes lol. I stocked up on Davides while they still had the Anyvape product on the shelf to continue using KPT single coils. They do everything I want, never leak, have survived several drops, and the coils are cheap. I am a "If it is not broke why fix it" guy haha. -

bcartervol98 replied to Mwiker's topic in General Vaping Discussion
I stand corrected then, I remember when they first came out that was one of the huge drawbacks I saw posted on them before I realized it was the UniTank I was thinking about. No one lied to me lol. Doesn't matter I have 8 KPt 2s with Aero bases on 4 and 12 Davides so it will be a long time if ever before I order another tank. Just trying to help a fellow vaper out. I have heard many long time members of the forum and long time vapers say the KPT 2 with Aero base is the bomb. I agree, but still prefer the Davide.
