    Totes Jelly!! I ordered a 3.1 clone, but that won't come until (fingers crossed it comes before) Christmas. Shoot, even the clone is the most expensive piece of vaping gear I have purchased. LOL.

    Sweatervest13 got a reaction from Tam in How many juices   
    I DIY too, so I have many sample bottles laying around. BUt I usually keep around 5-8 in rotation. 2-3 for ADV and a few for a little change of pace flavor sometimes.

    I will often go back to a flavor I did not like and find that my pallet has changed and now I do like it. Weird how that works sometimes. I tried a few juices that were my fav's when I first started... Kinda gross now.

    I'll say this... No one can tell you how many juices is too little or too much. Personal preference goes a long way for vaping. Some people say a cucumber tastes better pickled, but I don't know... lol

    Sweatervest13 got a reaction from HaWaIIaN in Have E-Cigs helped you quit smoking?   
    I had quit analogs for almost a full year (pack a day before I quit). Started cheating while out with friends, slowly became a regular smoker again, but added dipping so I did not stink at work. I really wanted to stop smoking and dipping after a year of falling off the wagon. I picked up a Blu and a no name brand e-cig at my regular smoke shop. It helped, but was not satisfying. I googled vapor chat forums, and found this place. I researched here, and found that there were some better devices that could actually produce a decent amount of vapor. I asked where I could find a good starter kit, and what I should buy to start. I ordered my Vision Spinner kit with some CE4's and EVOD's and some juice. Funny enough, I could not wait for the kit to come, so I went back to my local smoke shop and purchased a 650 mah kit (it had proprietary treading, not 510) to "try". I still had a couple analogs each day until I finished the pack.

    Like some others here, I found when I was vaping and smoking that I favored the e-cig. I would have a analog burning in the ashtray, and unknowingly grab the e-cig and vape away. After a week or so I had no desire to smoke.

    I think finding a juice that you like helps a lot. At first I could not find a B&M store to sample flavors, so I would order online and hope I liked the flavor (most of them I did not love). I finally found a couple B&M stores to sample before I bought... It opened a whole new world for me. I have since started DIY'ing juice with some friends that I converted over to vaping and could not be happier. It is nice to be able to tune in a mix (pg/vg ratio) and strength (started at 24 mg's down to 12 mg).

    Smoking was never a hobby for me... I would never join a smoking chat forum, or get all excited to go buy a pack ( I would get very moody if I did not go buy the pack, but I was never excited). Vaping, DIY'ing juice, and rebuilding is fun for me.

    I got a 510 kit in March 2010 never intending to quit smoking altogether. It was only to get me through a work day where I couldn't smoke for 9 - 10 hours. Despite my original intent I no longer felt a need to smoke and haven't since then. Almost 4 years.

    Started vaping 11 months ago, it's been mostly a sweet ride. Very seldom have craved a stinky, the couple times I cheated were not satisfying. All I crave now is a tasty vape.

    I got real used to the short and have been favoring that even though I have both. Lol. It is a warmer vape. I do get some spitting too in the short. Who knows what I'll end up liking best?? I'll i know is the HH.357 is no joke.

    I bought a bunch of new vaping gear. Mod, KFL clone and like 4 other RBA's & RDA's. Bunch of wire and cotton to build. It all just sits and I go nuts on the .357's

    Go figure.

    I got a HH .357 short barrel about 6 weeks ago. LOVE IT!! I had been using KPT2's (rotating 4 of them). Once I got used to using the .357 I have not touched a Protank. I ended up ordering 2 more HH.357 long barrel's. I got all my vaping friends hooked as well...Avidvapers owes me a referral fee. LOL.

    Tam is right, friends don't let friends drip and drive. Red lights are cool though, right? bawhahaha

    +1

    Until the media whipped propaganda campaign and attendant hysteria is over, if it's ever over, I just keep a low profile. You don't have to exhale a big vape cloud, drawing attention to yourself of course, to enjoy your vape.

    But then there will always be those who want to draw attention to themselves. Are you within your rights to vape? Possibly, depending on city ordinance or property owner's rules. Is it a smart move in the current climate where vapers are trying to gain public acceptance through education? NO.

    What equipment are you using?? I agree with others that bumping up mg amount may fix it. But sometimes if you are using entry level equipment, upgrading equipment may help more than up-ing mg's.

    That's only one thread on the HH357 that we have here on VT. If you scroll to the top of this page and click on the little magnifying glass next to "Our Store", put in HH357 and several threads will come up.

    Like Wizard said above, if you're not already a dripper I wouldn't recommend you start with these. Even for experienced drippers there's still a pretty good learning curve. If you're not familiar, you won't know how to troubleshoot if/when you run into hiccups. $21 - $25 (depending on whether you get the regular or custom built ones), that's pretty expensive to start learning on. I'd suggest getting a regular bridged or bridgeless 510 atty to start. If you decide you like to direct drip, then go for the HH357. I drip exclusively on the custom at 2.0 ohms when I'm not driving.

    Was always a runner/skater before I started smoking cigarettes. Got too winded too quickly to wanna work out because of cigs. Stopped smoking 6 months ago cold turkey, and started vaping 2 months ago for various reasons. Now I'm back into shape and just about as healthy as I was in high school. I'm back in the gym, back on the track, and thinking about joining an area Lacrosse team. Better lungs have helped steady my breathing patterns while riding my motorcycle on the track as well...It can be very exhausting taking turn after turn and using your body to help control the bike. More oxygen to the brain = clearer thinking and quicker reactions. I've actually taken more than 2 seconds off my fastest lap time, which is a large feat with no modifications to the bike. About to buy some new aggressive inline skates as well. It's nice feeling like you are 16 again.

    Sweatervest13 got a reaction from ryanmcgarth02 in Any Athletes out there?   
    Hi All,

    I was wondering if there were any athletes on here and how vaping has effected their "wind"? I have played hockey all my life. I have played as an adult when I was not a smoker, and when I was smoker. And I have noticed a lot more lung capacity when I was quit from smoking.

    When I first switched to vaping I did see a bit of an improvement, but not like when I was fully quit (No cigarettes, and no vaping). Has anyone else noticed this when really pushing your heart and lungs with vigorous exercise? I still get that deep lung burn, but not nearly as bad as when I was still on the analogs. I thought it would have been gone by now. I do feel it getting better, but that burn is still there. Anyone else out there experience this? Will it go away with time?

    On a side note, when I was still on the analogs and dipping, I would notice that my feet would get very cold (numb) very quickly on the ice. I always assumed that it was because of the nicotine constricting my capillaries and slowing down blood flow to my feet and hands and being in a cold hockey rink. But now with vaping, it is not nearly as bad. I still get some numbness on the feet, but not like before. I wonder if it was all the junk in analogs and the dip that made it worse? Anyways, thanks for reading. Happy Friday everyone!!

    PG= more Throat Hit (TH)
    VG= more Smoke Vapor production

    The higher nicotine level will increase the TH as well. If you are waiting for the 50/50 stuff to come in, it should be a lot smoother.

    Do you have any other Atty's coils for your Mini PT2? Maybe try some different Ω coils to see if that smooths out the vapor a bit for you ( you might need to play around with the voltage to find a sweet spot).
