    I'm not perfect and not all of my recommendations will work for you because vaping is a very personal thing. I only rec the things I've tried that worked for me. The rest is all about you and what works for you.

    Glad to know that the recs so far are doing well.

    Here's some recs for juices. Go check out EC Blends. You can get 5 ml bottles of juices for around $2.50 a bottle (prices go up as you add stuff). This way you can go a little nuts on flavors and try all different kinds to see what you like. Most need to sit (it's called steeping) for around 5 days or more depending on the juice. Some fruit flavors are good right out of the mail. They will get better with time, though.

    Start with 50PG/50VG to start. It's a good middle of the road until you're more experienced and figure out what you like. The nic is up to you but here's a rough estimate of mg to what you used to smoke.

    24 mg nic = full flavor like Marlboro Reds

    12 mg nic = lights

    6 mg nic = ultra lights

    Good luck!

    There are so many different vendors selling a little of everything, but not every vendor is trustworthy. The Vapor Talk store and The Veteran Vapor? You won't have any trouble with these two online stores. Great prices and even better customer service at both.

    I'd suggest getting a 1300 mAh Vision Spinner for the battery. This is a variable voltage so you get some play with it but it's simple for a beginner. Just start at the lowest setting and vape. If it's not good, doesn't seem to get much vapor, turn it up a little. Vape. Lather, rinse, repeat until it tastes a little burnt and then turn it down a bit. That should be your sweet spot for that juice.

    As for tanks, everyone will have their own favorites. Mine is an Anyvape Davide mini with a 1.8 ohm coil. The Kanger Pro Tank mini is pretty much the same thing, just a little easier to fill. The coils/heating elements in these are replaceable so you don't have to keep buying the whole tank every time. The coils run around a dollar or a little more each.

    Then, there's the e-liquid/juice. There are so many good vendors around. One of my favorites is EC Blends. They sell in bottles of 5 ml at around $2.50 each so you can try all kinds of different flavors (and they customize to your heart's content) without breaking the bank.

    Good luck!

    Stress is the number one cause of constricted blood vessels, heart failure. Tar & other toxins build up & cause constrictions, yes.
    Studies show that eCigs (nicotine without the tar & crapiolie) do not constrict, & the veins remain flexible.
    Studies show that nicotine actually promotes healthy cells. Smoke kills cells, nicotine multiplies thriving cells.
    Studies show that nicotine restores brain damage, cognitive skills, focus, and relieves Alzheimer's, ADHD, Parkinson's, and more.
    Until lately, they were always baffled by the smokers paradox. Smokers survived when non smokers died.
    Today, they want to delete the nicotine from real cigarettes & are doing their darnedest to ban eCigs and I'm sure the NRT's will be next. They now KNOW it's the smoke & tar that kills, & nicotine is the beneficial life saving aspect.
    Most smokers who died from smoking related diseases were in their 70's & 80's. They lived 20 years LONGER than their age groups life expectancy. There is STILL no link between passive smoking and lung cancer. It's environmental & some even swear it's from the cancer laden vaccinations. Smoking is the scapegoat. Smoking is down, cancer is up.

    Nicotine is FDA approved. Find various nicotrol and Nicorette studies like http://www.nicorette.co.uk/help-and-support/nicotine-myths. And. http://www.pfizer.com/sites/default/files/products/uspi_nicotrol_inhaler.pdf

    I'll probably post more as it comes to me. I've got over 12 years of Over-the-Road driving and 1 million safe driving miles (no tickets or accidents) under my belt. It may seem weird to some of you to see my posts popping up throughout the day, but I assure you, I'm not driving while I post. I'm training a new driver. He'll be with me another two weeks and then my posts will slow down to only the times I'm not rolling. Lol

    We have some members here who drive the big rigs (semi trucks). Can you give those of us who drive regular vehicles some tips on how we can make your lives easier on the road?

    I know that when we pass a semi we need to get back on the right side of the road but only after giving you guys lots of room so we don't cut you off. Stopping a rig that big carrying that much weight takes a lot of room.

    When driving at night and a semi passes you I know to flash my lights when he clears my car to let him know he can change lanes safely.

    I'm curious, though. Any other tips?

    spydre reacted to Joshuab3687 in Dripping?   
    Ok, dripping is the act of either dripping your juice directly into your cartomizer, or dripping juice onto your coils/wick assemblies on an RDA(rebuildable dripping attomizer) or RBA(rebuildable atomizer.
    Medic, please correct me if I'm wrong.
    As far as other components for your Spire VV mod, a good choice would be the Anyvape Davide (standard or mini), Kanger Protank 2 or 3 (again, standard or mini.
    If you're new to vaping, I wouldn't get too worked up about "dripping" just yet. Start out with a decent tank setup then work your way from there. You'll want to get plenty of advice from the more experienced folks here and do some research on "dripping" before venturing into it.
    Hope that helps! Happy Vaping!
