  1. Nope had never heard of it, but did a quick google search - according to the site it appears its this weekend coming up! I might just have to look into this, I do love a good detail!
  2. I will tell you I was a tank supporter for about two weeks and then reality set in and I now have 3 T-Attys (one unused) and about six unopened tanks sitting in a draw gathering all the dust. It was then that I went back to trying dripping and never looked back. Sure its a pain while driving, sure it can be a bit messy on a rare occasion but its the best bang for the buck in my book (lots of B's in that sentence). I have a bottom feeder coming my way - sooooon I hope, until then its drip drip vape for me. Anyone need want to buy my T products?
  3. For a moment I will step out of the proverbial box and suggest maybe cartos and DD is not for you. Have you thought about going to a bottom feeder? Something that would give you more voltage for warmer bigger TH while avoiding the need to drip? EDIT - okay I knew I should have gone back a page or two before posting once I posted. So this has been discussed before, but maybe its not a bad thing to bring it back up with a focus on the variable voltage (VV)portion of it. I have an Ali'i on order (hopefully next week arrival) with VV, with the ability to dial up the voltage you get a hotter atty thus a warmer vape thus more TH. HERE IS A VIDEO that shows how they work pretty well and if you watch it you will see other reviews on the right side of the you tube page. There are others out there not just this one but it shows how a bottom feeder works nicely.
  4. I think you have made a good choice, what I like about my 650 mah size is when I hold it in my closed fist hand (only way I could of describing it) the entire length is concealed within my hand with just the drip tip sticking out on top. Its not so obvious when I am which is good when I am just not feeling like answering the "what the heck is that thing?" question.
  5. Okay so blue foam made me think about the very funny video Chris posted. So where do you get this blue foam filler? Its the one piece you left out from what I can tell!
  6. And don't forget our hosts - the VT Store itself!

  8. I was hoping someone who uses cartos would chime in for you - I used them the first week or two and haven't used them since so I would have been guessing - I was going to guess they work fine in a carto since all five of my juices at 70/30 seem nice and runny and not at all thick. Maybe I will fill out a carto today just for fun - I have a couple of unopened ones around here somewhere.
  9. I guess since I am on a posting rage today -- WINNING --- I will also point out explicitly you may find that while different approaches work for different needs, like carto's while driving verse dripping while home or work its also not uncommon for your preferences change over time. As you try more things something that worked well for you stops working so well and you shake it up for a bit. I used cartos at first, and I liked them okay but soon enough I started Dripping. Well the other day I broke out a carto and gave it a go and really enjoyed it so I think I am working some back into rotation. I guess my point is, if you have the means to have various options on hand you will find yourself moving back and forth over time with them. Its part of the joy (or Joye - get it?) of it all.
  10. I will answer slightly differently - it depends. I get many hours out of my 650 batteries and mostly work from home so switching them out onto the charger is no big deal. That said just this past weekend I went out all day to tailgate and attend a multiple performer concert and towards the end of the day was getting very worried I was going to run out of battery life - I admit it, I was a bit panicked even. I like the size of the 650 battery, its just about 2.25 inches - I do not know how much longer the 900 is. So the question really is to you, what are your needs and lifestyle, if you are out and about for long periods of time the safety of the longer lived batteries might be better for you, if you are home body the smaller size might be best. Either way you can add to the collection, because as some will tell you BACKUPS are inportant, over time and add it the one you do not choose.
  11. So I thought it was time to go ahead and add to the videos here - its my first ever so be kind. I just wanted to say more than a post would allow so I did a quick (6 minute quick) video and then added a write up on the five flavors - enjoy! The details All Juices are 70/30 with 18 MG With all five of these I found throat hit to be right around 7 or 8 out of 10 for me and plenty of vapor to boot. I think I am finding the 70/30 PG/VG blend to be right were I want to be. Very Vanilla is described as a variation of French Vanilla and its lives up to the bill. If you enjoy vanillas I highly recommend giving this one a try. Its different, but in a good way, a bit stronger in flavor then classic. Shamrocky Shake – great minty flavor with a cream taste that really combines well. Neither element if overpowering yet combined they blend nicely. Having tried my first ever shamrock shake from the arches recently I couldn’t resist giving this one a go and it just really hits the spot with a clean yet creamy taste! Vanilla bean ice cream – YUM, it’s another nice blend of vanilla flavor which is more subtle then very vanilla with a cream flavor that lingers on the exhale. Grape Soda – I really liked how clean and crisp this flavor is. Not too grape but enough that you taste it, but with a very fresh taste, almost light and refreshing. Its not what I thought it might be but better than I thought it would be. Blueberry – I found this one to be just a bit underflavored, almost like it could have used a tad more flavoring but its right there on the border for me. The flavor is great I would just like a bit more. This juice was (well more accurately is) crystal clear juice. I know some prefer the lighter colored juices so I thought I would point this out. Overall I am very happy with my entire order from Sweet-Vapes and plan to return for more once I use up some of this in house juice I showed in the video – must use it up first, or not! **** Please remember taste is subjective, if you’re unsure as to whether you might like it order a sample size***
  12. I haven't really thought about the long term plan, for now I enjoy vaping, perhaps more than I ever did smoking. The availability of flavors, the constant evolution are all things of interest to me. Perhaps I have always wanted some form of hobby as well and vaping is becoming, to a degree, both a habit and a hobby. So while I would never say never, I can not say I see a strong likelihood I will stop vaping - but hey stranger things have happened
  13. <---I am warning I am going off topic, I had that issue with LadyD's avatar yesterday, I refreshed my browser and then saw the new one, you might need to do the same. Back on topic, as far as articles go while they might have had the pricing wrong they seemed to do a fairly decent job at presenting the points of views in a balanced way. Of course the "health professionals" are going to stick to the party line, thats to be predicted and expected - but they also showed a real life example of success.
  14. Song - what song, heh. Yep it has everything to do with the song and its the handle I have used on the internet since the early 90's.
  15. Correct me if I am wrong, but if you want to move up in volts then you need to move up to a higher res atty? Although at a low 5 you should be good with a standard atty I thought. This is of special interest to me as my VV Ali'i should be arriving in the next two weeks! I

    Sure, although the one thing you do not mention is what flavors they are so its a bit tough to comment on if mixing the two seems like a good idea. That being said I have put two things together that I didnt think would be a good match and found it to be great (Do I sound a bit like a resse's commercial there?!?). Just don't mix too much to start - in fact if you drip try 2 drops of one and 1 drop of another to give it a go if it seems promising mix up a bit more in an empty bottle and give it a go. One of the many beauties of vaping is the creativeness of the vapers themselves!
  17. Wow, thats actually very interesting that it was the actual pool cue maker that was doing the mod! Good investigative work!
  18. Personally while I think it looks cool, its on the big side for my tastes. But hey thats the beauty of vaping isn't it something for everyone!
  19. Tell me about the VT store customer service - it does not get better then that. Its my first stop whenever possible. Sorry about the battery, if indeed its defective, it should be covered under warranty so for sure contact the store you purchased it from, and if its the VT store be sure it will be resolved for you very quickly.
  20. I do like my Stainless too, I have several drip tips all regular size so I didn't even think about that as an issue, but thanks for the heads-up.
  21. I believe (although its hard to know) that this is really a non-issue with todays batteries. However I do also believe you should remove a battery that has been fully charged from the charger not leaving it attached for extended periods of time.

    Well the P stands for Propylene glycol While the V Vegetable Glycerin Learn about Propylene glycol at the link below, it actually talks about the use in e-cig's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propylene_glycol You can find out more about the VG here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycerol PG tends to provide more throat hit (TH), with less vapor, and VG tends to be the opposite, more Vapor, but less TH. Which is right tends to be a highly personal decision. I have personally played with several combinations that tend to be expressed in percentages PG/VG. I have tried 100/0, 50/50, 80/20 and 70/30. I am trending towards the 80/20 and 70/30 combos to get the best of both. Hope that helps.
  23. Still holding out posting in this thread until someone specifically asks me too --- well sort of! I often view and post from the iPAD so I can not join the chat, I just see the red notification that 1 person is in chat - almost like its a taunt! BOOO Anywho, I also participate in a forum related to my car and there is a LOooooong thread going about forum decorum and people griping about the words some choose in their posts. I have always subscribed to the theory that when reading forum posts really focus on what someone is saying rather than the words they type. It is so easy to miss an intended bit of sarcastic humor in a post. And like others, I speak much prettier than I type!
  24. Well thats not good! I got a bulk of 10 from VaporKings and tested all 10 immediately - they all fired. I have been using four so far without any challenges.
  25. I only know of one person personally - the better half, and she only does it on rare occasions (thats code when shes had a lot of drinks or is at the casino). Me I seem to be going to higher level juices - woops!
