  1. omg i was able to sign in from my phone. . .i hope you can be here Sharon!!! that would be so awesome!! Jason from Vapor Renu sent me a box of 19 (if i counted right) 30ml bottles of liquid for the sample table!! how awesome is that!?! the grape is THE BEST grape from anyplace we have tried! Paul would get it in quarts if it was sold that way. i hope this posts!
  2. I haven't seen any of them, at least not that I can recall, where it is illegal to possess or use the devices/products, only that they can't be sold in the state and/or sold to anyone that is a resident of that state. The whole thing is ridiculous, I am an adult, if I am permitted to purchases tobacco and alcohol I should be allowed to purchase e cigarettes. One would think with all the economic problems and dire circumstances facing so many states these people would find something more pressing to deal with. Especially since vendors selling products within a state are presumably collecting state/local sales tax. One would think they would want every cent of tax revenue they can get. Not to mention the numerous people they would then cause to be unemployed and then out of work for who knows how long and collecting unemployment. Well, hopefully this will be another unsuccessful bill.
  3. I agree TOTALLY......my children NEVER had any problem associated with our smoking...no chronic anything wrong with them. For that matter I never had ANY chronic health problems associated with my smoking, no coughing, no asthma, no nothing. Here I have a bunch of other health problems, NOTHING to do with smoking, my parents are not and never were smokers, and no one has suggested that my health issues are in ANY way associated with anything they did. I know all kinds of kids with asthma, ear tubes, ear infections, chronic upper respiratory issues and none of the parents smoke. It is just an easy excuse. BUT THEN a close relative of mine, used drugs while pg, her baby needed brain surgery at 24 hours old (she is now 24 and totally fine, two kids of her own), had numerous surgeries and ALL of us privately thought, and so did the dr, that had she NOT used drugs the baby most likely would have been fine.....BUT SINCE no one could PROVE it was her fault, they wouldn't say it, because it would be MEAN. BUT people think NOTHING of blaming someone smoking on all kinds of problems their children end up having. Like others said, you are exposed to MORE toxins from traffic, from cleaning chemicals, and all kinds of other things, but no one would, nor should they, suggest blaming all those things for every problem. We, as humans, pollute the environment with all kinds of chemicals. We fill our bodies with chemicals with nearly everything in a supermarket. I was reading some report about the proper scrubbing and cleaning of produce because of all the stuff sprayed on them...not just pesticides, but all the chemicals often used in harvesting, so the produce can be transported without bruising, rotting, etc. Then all the junk they put on certain items to make them look shinier and all kinds of goofy stuff. If I have to scrub my lettuce for 15 minutes before using it, I may never eat a salad again. I think i will take my chances just doing normal washing and scrubbing. I have ONE main reason to stay not smoking.....to hopefully not die of lung cancer as numerous relatives have. I just hope I stopped smoking soon enough.
  4. cool.....I personally can't say my mouth/teeth seem any better, but good for you if you can. I am sure that I am not discoloring my teeth any longer from the nicotine though, so I am at least not making my teeth look worse. I am sure my mouth smells better, it would have to. Then again my husband never complained before, but we both smoked and both started vaping at the same time. NOW if I could stop spending money on new stuff we might actually have more money, HA!!! Who am I kidding?? THAT won't happen with all the liquid I buy!!
  5. We have no credit cards either....we pay with cash for everything (except huge ticket items, but then make payments with check or auto debit payments). We use a debit card linked to our checking account and we also have used a prepaid Visa/MC which you can buy in pretty much any store now. Either way then you can shop at places that do not take paypal.
  6. YES, I do a lot of searching to try and involve as few vendors as possible. I don't mind buying same type items from various vendors, like say liquid from one place and hardware type stuff from another. But it stinks when you have to buy cartos from one place, batteries from another, drip tips from another and adapters from another ONLY because none of them have all the items you want in stock. I have thankfully found a couple vendors that seem to keep enough stock of most things that this doesn't happen much anymore. The shipping charges from involving lots of different vendors can really add up. I hate it even more when it is my own fault for hesitating to buy everything at once. Then I want to beat my head into a wall for being so stupid, LOL!!!
  7. I have noticed no change in the color of my ear wax and I am also one of those people who cleans my ears daily after showering. Ear wax is produced in the outer part of the ear canal and not really affected by what you consume. It's color is more affected by dust and debris that enter from the outside. Here is info I found regarding this topic.... Earwax is a naturally produced substance that protects the ear canal . It is a mixture of skin, sweat, hair, and debris (such as shampoo and dirt) held together with a fluid secreted by glands inside the ear canal (ceruminous glands). The ear canals are self-cleaning. Earwax helps filter dust, keeps the ears clean, and protects the ear canal from infection. Normally, earwax is a self-draining liquid that does not cause problems. As the skin of the ear canal sheds, the wax is carried to the outer part of the ear canal and drains from the ear by itself. Earwax ranges in color from light to dark brown or orange. In children, earwax is usually softer and lighter than the earwax produced by adults. Children produce a lot of earwax, which tapers off as they grow older. Earwax is normally produced only in the outer half of the ear canal and will not become deeply impacted unless it is pushed in. The ear canal may become blocked (impacted) when attempts to clean the ear with cotton swabs, bobby pins, or a finger push wax deeply into the ear canal. Impacted earwax may cause some hearing loss or other problems, such as ringing in the ears (tinnitus), a full feeling in the ears, or vertigo. Poking at the wax with cotton swabs, your fingers, or other objects usually only further compacts the wax against the eardrum. Most earwax problems can be handled with home treatment. Professional help may be needed to remove tightly packed earwax.
  8. Vapor Renu's nicotine liquid is USP and made in the US not China, which personally, I prefer. You can also buy it pretty reasonable already mixed with the exact specs you want.....I have a pint of 80/20 pg/vg, 16mg, medium hit, where all I have to do is add the flavoring from anywhere I want. I really just wanted a tiny bit for cutting some strong flavors, but it was $15, so I figured, may as well have it, but man, it looks like SO much being as I don't mix my own liquid. I guess I will have to get the cinn roll extract and just go with that to use it!
  9. Oh, and I agree on that.....the same time I had ordered from VR, that same evening my husband and I ordered from four other vendors that had strong recommendations and reviews from people on here, and in the chat. Well we didn't like ANY of the other ones.....the stuff from Ms T's Bakery was so awful we threw it down the drain. Then later I learned that ALL the ingredients from VR are american made, INCLUDING the nicotine liquid, which almost all other vendors get theirs from China. To us the FLAVOR is the most important aspect, not the TH or even the vapor. Although we get great vapor and have no problem with TH with VR liquid. We get everything 16 mg, 80/20 pg/vg, medium TH, regular strength, no additives. We have been vaping a little over a year. So I don't know how those things figure into the whole equation. BUT for sure it is subjective. I have met several people now where we all seem to like the same flavors and types of flavors, so those are the people who I ask for opinions from as far as if they have a flavor that I have not yet ordered but I am thinking about, I generally end up agreeing with their assessment. But it is VERY subjective, and I consider the source....like what other flavors does the person like. If they vape a bunch of flavors that I do not like, then I will probably like what they don't like and vice versa. So I think you just have to know what you like, and what you don't like. Like RY4, sorry, never found one we like...we both hate it and have tried more than I can count. It is just too sweet to both of us, no matter where we have gotten it from. So I have totally given up on that....which is fine, so we don't like RY4. I have so many flavors now that I DO like I don't really need more variety, LOL!!
  10. Ohhhhhh, I am so glad you like the Pumpkiccino!....I LOVE it. OMG, have you tried the cinnamon roll flavor?????? I can't stop vaping it, already into my second bottle....AND that is with rotating it with the Pumpkin Spice, pumpkiccino, and coffee w/cream. The cinnamon roll tastes exactly like the cinnamon and the roll/dough completely separate but in your mouth at the same time. It is amazing. I have no problem with TH either, I get medium. But I am vaping at 5 volts and TH isn't a problem for me. OMG, I got the Teaberry flavor too....it is like wintergreen with something else in it.....not sure what the something else is??? BUT seriously, I have been vaping a year, so I took my normal inhale and I was coughing like a maniac!!! It tastes soooooooooooooooooooo good, but TH like crazy. So I recovered and took a slower softer inhale, and WOOOOOOOooooooooooowwwww, it is really something. It is good, I keep going back to it. It is a really powerful hit. Even with the various mints and menthols I have tried, they were NOTHING like the Teaberry. So not telling my husband any of this, I go "here, try this one" and it was hilarious to my sick brain. He was like OMG what is that??? then he is like, let me have some of that, LOL. If you like wintergreen, and you like a strong hit, Teaberry is the liquid to get!!!
  11. I agree with the box mod....easy to conceal. Swallow the vapor and no one sees you doing anything.
  12. Personally I love their flavors....I order everything with 80% pg and 20% vg....it is a good mix for most people. Their flavors are pretty true to the names. The cinnamon roll like easilyamused said is AMAZING...i went through one bottle in way less than a week and ordered 3 more. The pumpkin spice, also AMAZING. The reason they can sell for so cheap is because they are a sister company to the flavoring company. PLUS they use ALL USP grade AMERICAN manufactured ingredients. Almost anyone else you order from the nicotine liquid is from China...theirs isn't...it is made here. SO depending on if that is important to you and how much you trust the Chinese with products you ingest, LOL. Yes, I have had flavors that are just OKAY, but so far none that are disgusting or horrible. You will always find flavors you like more than others. I mean, same as food, you don't like all food equally, or sometimes you are in the mood for one thing over another. Personally, the fact that it is all made in the US and you get so much for a great price, I have nothing to complain about. I really gotta find a way to get off the cinnamon roll kick though or I will end up with 25 flavors sitting here and all EMPTY bottles of cinnamon roll, LOL. Pumpkiccino is amazing if you like Pumpkin Spice lattes...YUM, my favorite. Anyway, at least you don't blow a lot of money there trying flavors. Their Grape is EXCELLENT, also the Blueberry, Blueberry Cheesecake and pie....all the blueberry flavors.....my husband LOVES the Cherry Cola and the Red Hot Soda, and the Red Bull...oh and grape, loves the grape. Our bedroom is starting to look insane.....I am running out of room in the drawer I keep it all in!!!! anyway, have fun with the flavors......it is fun trying new stuff.
  13. I get nothing in terms of TH from any of my 3.7 batteries....ego is no different than any of the others. I get all my liquid 80/20, from VR. Prior to that I was ordering 100%pg from the vendors that sell premixed stuff, primarily V4L (I think their liquid is the DeKang, or it was....they have changed their flavors so much who knows anymore). I have no problems on my 5 volt devices. Plus with my 750 mah battery I only get 4 hours MAX before recharging and I hate the power drop off the last hour, barely get any vapor, let alone any TH. I am more concerned with the actual flavors....that was what I had a problem with, not the TH. An ego has no more voltage than any of the other similar batteries, or even the little stick batteries fully charged....3.7v is 3.7v....and especially since they don't maintain that voltage. Of course I thought it was fine too, until I had something stronger to compare it to. I vaped on an 8.4v Atlas last month at a vapers meet HOLY COW. UNBELIEVABLE the difference. But personally, I have no problem with the medium TH. Given the choice, I rather vape a flavor I love the taste of with less TH, than a flavor I don't like as much with more TH.
  14. All of them are 16mg, 80/20 pg/vg, Medium TH.....on 5 volt PT Holy smokes, the Teaberry.....THAT is ONE strong flavor and tastes EXACTLY like Teaberry gum. If you want TH, THIS is the flavor. OMG, I was coughing when I inhaled normally. But when I took smoother slower draws, HOLY ^&*%%&%&%^%&....TH LIKE CRAZY. Tastes just like the gum I grew up chewing, that wintergreen, sweet flavor. YUMMY! Vanilla Custard....someone else reviewed this too....good yummy vanilla custardy goodness. YUMMY too. Amaretto....this was a tad different and I think it needs to sit a week. It SMELLS like amaretto, the flavor was somehow lemonish....BUT not a BAD flavor, just not what I expected from the smell. I think this one will evolve into something great. I will try it in a week and see how it is then. I will vape the carto of it I filled, which was by no means bad or anything. I get tons of vapor with any liquid at 5 volts, so vapor is never a problem for me. These all produced a lot of vapor. All good, love that vanilla custard. This is the first vanilla flavor I have ever had and liked. This for sure will be a reorder. Teaberry is KILLER.
  15. we'll be there.....so are you saying that the Atlas from Chris still won't be there???? LOL. Waiting, trying to be patient, not succeeding, waiting impatiently on my Atlas!!! Broke down and ordered a 5 volt box mod yesterday to tide me over...Jolly still doesn't have our mods done and he is going on vacation, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh, I can't take this 3.7 volt stuff anymore!!!!!
  16. All my liquids are 16mg, medium TH, 80/20 pg/vg...no additives. I am vaping on a 5 volt PT on an outlet adapter. Okay, I will start with the Cinnamon Roll and try to stop talking. All I can really say is this is the BEST flavor I have had from ANYWHERE in my year of vaping. It is simply perfection and I love it. You can totally taste the cinnamon, and you can also at the same time but independently taste the roll/dough. I just LOVE it. It is NOT a super sweet flavor...tastes like cinnamon and a roll, thus cinnamon roll. I went through a bottle in less than a week, even though I use Pumpkin Spice, Pumpkiccino and various other flavors too. I ordered 3 more bottles....tested them, all awesome. Blueberry Cheesecake....we ordered this because we LOVED the blueberry. That is a TRUE blueberry, rich sweet, blueberry flavor. The Blueberry Cheesecake is like blueberry with something extra...NOT cheesy tasting or anything, but like a rich creamy flavor, like how a cheesecake would be with blueberries mixed INTO it, not just laying on top. Very good and my husband snatched this one. Coffee, and Coffee with cream. Okay, first let me say I ordered the Coffee AND the Sweet Cream flavors, because I had tried the coffee at a vape meet. The coffee smells and tastes EXACTLY like a freshly brewed pot of coffee. It is a TRUE coffee flavor. BUT, I love my coffee with sugar and cream, so I mixed up a batch of the coffee with sweet cream and then wrote Jason, suggesting he have both, using my mixture. He changed the list to say Coffee-black, and then another flavor Coffee w/cream. The coffee with cream is really like coffee with sugar and cream and it is DELICIOUS. As for TH, I have NO problem with it when using a 5 volt PT....I am waiting on my mods, so I can be done with these 3.7 batteries, they are just not powerful enough. The higher voltage makes a huge difference with the TH, at least for me. OMG, I am trying 3 more flavors, as i type this and the Vanilla Custard, OMG, awesome!!!
  17. I have noticed, that I get HUGE TH IF I use a 5 volt device. On my 3.7 ego type batteries, and any other 3.7 volt device I get no TH from ANY liquid. I think it is the voltage. There is just not enough power in these weak batteries to do much of anything in terms of TH. I order medium TH as TH is not a HUGE issue for me. Now vaping on a 5 volt passthrough I get so much TH that my throat actually feels like I am smoking. I vape like crazy, and actually had a hoarse voice, like when I was smoking!! So I don't know that it is any liquid, I think it is the voltage. After all when we smoke we have a burning substance, this is just liquid being heated up enough to make vapor. But for sure on the higher voltage devices I have had no problem with TH.
  18. OMG, I am in VAPING HEAVEN. Got my Jolly PT and I was so pleasantly surprised. It is so light, it has a big button that is SUPER easy to push, and it fits SO comfortably in my hand. The box part is the size of 2 AAA batteries, so small, but there are no batteries in there, just wire, the inside of the push button part, so that is the only weight, which is nothing. I am using it on my outlet usb adapter, so I am happily vaping. I tried it on my USB port and works great too, just rather use the outlet adapter. $15, great price, made great.....SUPER THRILLED to have a PT without a cheapo circuit board that blows out after a couple/few weeks. Anyone who knows me knows I have had AT LEAST 8 PTs, maybe 10+ (I lost count) in the past 10 months....so many times I had none. When Jolly finally explained the difference in how they were made as compared to the type he makes, I understood. All I can say is it is great, can't beat it, and I will be happily vaping away for a LONG time without buying a new passthrough every couple weeks! Makes me sick, I have already bought THREE passthroughs since the beginning of this year, RIDICULOUS......4 counting the Jollyriffic good one....but 3 bought and dead, in two months, nuts!
  19. I have ordered cartos for SUPER cheap from china.....but it was through a wholesaler we found last year during the proposed IL bans. Originally they wanted 1.50 a piece, then when we didn't order after a week emailed my husband and cut the price to 1.25 then 1.00 then finally 75 cents AND free shipping...IF we ordered 200 min...we ordered 200, haven't used them ALL but haven't had any problems. Of course tossing a couple cartos at that price, who would care, a battery would be different. EVEN IF there is a warranty it would cost at least $25 to ship it back. IF you have the money to think of as throw away.....where it is like a gamble, then do it. BUT if you will be upset if anything goes wrong with it then DO NOT do it. We figured if half of them were DOA, the remaining would still be only 1.50 each, which is far cheaper than most people sell them here....and plus we would have paid shipping for anything ordered here. The odds of half of them being dead of course was small. They were no different then any other cartos from here and better than some as far as filler amount, etc. But then if it is the same as the riva price here....at least then you are getting the higher mah batteries....just a thought, plus if there is a problem it most likely wouldn't be a huge ordeal.
  20. That's how I feel about the pumpkin spice, cinnamon roll, pumpkiccino, hazelnut and a few others I finally found that I love. They actually taste EXACTLY how you would think they should, and how you didn't even dare to hope they would. I looked at KBV but unfortunately they don't have just a plain cappuccino, which is about the only flavor I am kind of still hoping for. I used to have one, but then they suddenly changed the main flavor I used to create it.....thank GOD, I still had some so I sent it to Jason @VR and he is going to run a chemical analysis on it and gonna try and make it for me. It was a custom blend I created, so if he can recreate it, THAT would be great. I wrote KBV to see if they can do a plain capp....they have various flavored ones, but not plain. Also wondering if their nic liquid is usp grade made in the US. It is so nice when you finally find flavors that just really taste good. It is so different for everyone, we all like something different. Although I think it is funny how we all (myself included) have become SO incredibly picky given that we smoked burning tobacco for years. I was talking to Sharon and she said, yeah, and as cig prices rose most of us kept buying cheaper and cheaper cigarettes, and each time had to get used to the taste. But we never thought, that's it, I am not using this anymore, it doesn't taste good, LOL. We smoked away, with basically two choices, regular or menthol. Now we have hundreds...thousands with all the vendors and we do nothing but complain,....it is really funny when you think about it. We could probably take our the flavor we dislike most and IF all others were not available we would get used to it and come to feel about it like we did about smoking....we would love it. I think sometimes we almost have too many options.....always looking for something better in one way or another. Anyway, very glad you found some good flavors!! It is nice to be using something you really love!
  21. Oh, and I should mention, when my husband is vaping his cherry cola I CAN smell it and while it is not smoke, I don't particularly care to smell it.....same with some other strong flavors, and vice versa....he can smell some of mine as well, and while it may not be smoke, someone may not want to smell it. BUT I don't want to smell perfume...it makes me sick to the point of vomiting. I can't use any scented soaps or perfumes at all.....but yet I am forced to breathe all the junk people spray and spread on their bodies. But like perfume, what is a pleasant or non offensive odor to some people can be totally offensive to another. Anyway, I have a feeling that eventually it will be banned in public places too. In all likelihood SOMETHING is being exhaled....might be in SUPER minute, barely detectable levels, BUT I am SURE there is SOMEONE who would say they are allergic or bothered by something in it, and since it will be viewed as unnecessary and still feeding an addiction they will ban it. Since it can be used discreetly I choose to use it that way....NOT to accommodate idiots and grouchy people but to avoid a situation where it WILL be banned and not permitted at all. Since I can just not exhale or exhale in a way that is not readily visible to others, that is what I do.....to PROTECT my right to do it at all. I just find it funny the things that ARE permitted to be used in public places that many people are allergic to and/or bothered by....like cleaning chemicals, perfumes, air fresheners and numerous other things.
  22. First let me say I have never had that happen.....BUT I do not blow vapor in public. There is no reason to exhale, so I don't. I just swallow the vapor and no one has said a thing. I vape in Starbucks and anywhere else I am and so far only a few people have noticed, and it has all been positive responses. It was never my intent to get around no smoking laws and I see no reason to antagonize people.....BUT I also see no reason why I can't vape, since I am NOT smoking. We had to exhale smoke because you can't just keep it all inside you, but not the same with vapor, so I either just don't exhale it since I don't need to, especially not on a 3.7 volt device like an ego that doesn't produce all that much vapor to start with. But regardless, I either don't exhale or I exhale down, like into my chest or toward the floor. I haven't had any kind of problem at all in the year I have been vaping.
  23. I wanted a 5 volt one....3.7 is still just the same power as any other battery. But now I am changing liquids so much I would need to have 50 bottles, LOL. Now I just want my 5 volt mod....just for the power and battery life!!!!
  24. Discovery.....blueberry, grape, cherry.....VR is awesome with the dark rich kind of fruits....I imagine raspberry, blackberry, peach, all the ones you think of as being thicker syrup type fruits. Watermelon....nope, not so great for Paul and I......another KILLER flavor....CINNAMON ROLL!!! OMG, my new favorite. Also got hazelnut, macadamia nut...BOTH very good. Got Honey Nut Cheerios...a tad heavy on the honey, but NOT bad at all....definitely will use it. Butter Pecan, heavy on the buttery, but also good....I have been topping them off with each other in the same carto.....and they run together wonderfully. SO of all the about 15 flavors I have, ONLY watermelon, we don't care for....it is more the smell I think than the flavor. BUT being as we get basically 3 flavors for the price of one, I don't care about an occasional miss. We had like 40 bottles of juice from the past year that we didn't like or were tired of....and paid 3 times the amount. So all in all I sure won't complain about an occasional thing we don't like. We tried the blueberry and blueberry pie (Thanks Nina and Sharon).....my husband promptly had me order the blueberry....YUMMY. I like that one too. Grape is awesome...both very strong flavors. Nina who gets double of everything agreed, grape does NOT need to be doubled. Tip....you have to be careful with the doubling and tripling......I was doing a lot of reading the past day or so, and adding more of a flavor does not make it better necessarily. You can overkill a flavor, you have too much and it just obliterates it. Like when you bake, if you doubled or tripled the vanilla extract, or rum, or banana, etc....it would NOT make a more vanillaish etc cake, it would ruin the cake. More isn't always better. Of course it is all individual, and of course if you buy a bottle of pg/vg (which I finally broke down and did) from VR, you can get it in your normal nic level and pg/vg preference,....if the flavor is too much you can cut it down yourself. BUT be careful doing that....you don't need to cut it in half to fix it necessarily. Anyway, I figured it will be handy to have for super strong flavors. The CINNAMON ROLL is my new fave....you can taste the cinnamon and the roll each separate, but together....Soooooooooo good. I say that as i am vaping macadamia nut, YUMMMMMMMMMY too....ohhhhhh and the hazelnut. OMG and don't forget the coffee, which mixed with bavarian cream or sweet cream OMG, just like coffee with cream and sugar, JUST how I love it. I am in an e liquid heaven now. I have like 15 flavors that I LOVE.....I really should stop ordering now...well except for refills.......OH and I already ordered another bottle of cinnamon roll THE VERY NEXT DAY. It is soooooooooooooooo freaking good. 16mg, medium TH, 80/20 pg/vg........vaped at 5 volts, good TH. If you are using an ego or other 3.7 volt, you may want to toss in a drop of ever clear to increase TH.
