Here's an experience I expected, but didn't expect to have with my mother first (though I should have known better)... My opinionated mom says to me: "You probably aren't going to agree with me but...Dad and I were out to dinner the other night, and I saw someone with their electronic cigarette, and they were just waving it around nonchalantly. Like they were rubbing my nose in the fact that they could smoke indoors. I just think that is crass!" It annoyed me. I love her to death, but mom can annoy me from time to time. So, I said to her... "Mom, my ecig is helping me not inhale the smoke that can cause me lung cancer. Nothing else has worked. I know that you are happy that I am not smoking, can you not place yourselves in their mother's shoes, and be happy that they found a solution for themselves?" and Mom says... "I think it is great that you quit smoking, but you're not planning on "vaping" forever. Are you?" and I said... "Mom, I have been smoking since I was 13, this is the only thing that has worked for me. While I may not use nicotine juice for the rest of my life, I may very well continue to vape, if it keeps me from desiring a cigarette.If another person vaping is not having an effect on your health, why do you need to complain about it? Why not be happy for them, or at least be pleased that they will not be a part of the reason our health care costs keep going up? Just think of me, whenever you have that thought." |

TSA question/Traveling with e-cigs
I will be flying across the U.S. to California in 2 weeks. Does TSA have issues with E-cigs? Or the Liquid? As long as it's checked? Do you guys recommend checked or carry-on with this stuff? And Does California have issues with it?
Thanks for any input. Meri :clover: |

"E-Cigarettes are becoming more and more popular and I’m happy to report that TSA has no problem with e-cigs being packed in your carry-on or checked bags. Now as far as using them on a flight, I would suggest you contact your airline and see what they have to say." "You may transport this item in carry-on baggage or in checked baggage. For items you wish to carry-on, you should check with the airline to ensure that the item will fit in the overhead bin or underneath the seat of the airplane." |
Juices become tasteless
Do you guys experience lack of taste after while? I'm not sure if it's lack of quality of the juice I am using or that my taste buds become accustomed to the flavor, but unless I just topped off or filled my cartomizer, the juice is pretty much tasteless.

I broke into the Dragon's Blood from ECBlends today, I am in vapor-rich heaven...:)

More review stuff of V4L products:
I got a 2 battery set with my starter kit. One is manual and one is automatic. I like each for different reasons. The manual allows you to control how much vapor you receive. I like the automatic in that I just pick it up mindlessly and puff without any thought (like while I am working here at my computer). The automatic gives decent vapor, as much as I need or want.
Between the time I place the order and arrival at my front door, the V4L products take 3-4 days. The company is located in IL, I am in GA. So, it's only shipping a few states away. But, it helps that turn-around time is so fast. They ship USPS first class. I finally know what equipment I have - 808s. If you need one or have a hard time finding one, they have conversion adapters for 510 to 808 or 808 to 510 for about $4 each. Definitely get a drip tip. Otherwise, you are inhaling from the open end of a cartomizer. Not to mention the excess liquid/juice can potentially leak all over the place. Happy vaping! :clover: |
2 more V4L juice reviews
Ordered 2 more juices from V4L and wanted to give feedback on those:
1) Red Energy - tastes exactly like Red Bull energy drink. 2) Plum Crazy - by far my favorite thus far. Not too sweet, very plum-y. Yum! |

#2 the 808 does have a converter - most places sell them for about 2-3 bucks, but if you're able to get yours at V4L go ahead and get it there. You'll probably get tired of using converters at some point and get a couple of 510 threaded units :) #3 your cartomizers come with a plug in the tip - we all used them long before someone thought to use drip tips - you should never vape without the little plug or a drip tip on there, and yes it's easier with a drip tip. I also wanted to address one thing that really stood out to me in your users' guide. You do NOT want to clean your cartomizers daily. In fact, unless you're trying to change flavors washing a cartomizer will kill it fast. You're also wasting at least 1-1.5ml of juice every time you clean it! I have cartos that still work after months. I don't really use them any more, with the advent of the Ego style batteries and systems, most of us use tanks now. The biggest use for cartomizers is for "DCTs" which is a dual coil tank. In that system the carto is surrounded by liquid in the tank and drawn up through holes made in the base of the cartomizer and vaped with either that little plug in, or preferably a drip tip. If you tried to clean it, you'd waste even more juice. Drip tips are fun to buy/collect. There's everything from plain black plastic to fancy blown glass and everything pretty or functional in between :) I know you're still feeling your way through this. If anyone wants me to write up a more advanced user manual (past the basics) I'd be happy to do it :) Good luck! -daisy |

By the way, our last order from ECBlends was shipped with a freebie bottle of "Buttered Keoke Rum Coffee," which is really good! It steeped for probably 2 weeks before I tried it.

Another random thought on vaping
I have noticed the juices at V4L have a stronger tobacco-y/nicotine taste to them that competes with the flavor. At 24mg, you taste both the nicotine and the flavor. At 11mg, you taste a lot more of the flavor. This may be only true of V4L juices; I don't know yet.

GL! -daisy PS - you can't steep cartomizers so if you're buying pre-filled - what you have is what you get :( |

I will try the hot bath method and see if that works, remembering to put tape over the labels so they don't come off. I will be ordering from either or both HHV or/and Alice in Vapeland when I return from vacation. I will have to make these do for now - hopefully, some steeping will improve the ones with the higher nicotine levels. Honestly, the taste of smoking tastes so bad, even the very nicotine-tasting juices are better than ashtray mouth :cigar: Thanks for your help again, Daisy! Meri :moonstars: |
Alice has delivered, and I now have to wait to travel down the rabbit hole(wait out the steeping process) :|
Besides my two 50ml glass bottles (Black & White Cookie, and A Quiet Morning...both delicious on the drop test), with eye droppers and adorable little trinkets attached to their necks, they sent 5 samples, of which the Lemon Loves Cake is the most fabulous... The packaging was just as amazing as Medusa's... |

V4L battery info
I just wanted to give some info on the batteries I purchased from Vapor4Life. I seem to use the automatic battery more. If I keep it attached to a cartomizer for the whole day, meaning I am using it all day, then the battery life is about 12 hours. It recharges in about 4 hours. The manual battery lasts about a day and a half and takes about the same amount of time to recharge. Both batteries are VK classic models.

Totally Wicked Tornado Tank Review
I have been watching a lot of different sites for vaping and I am so glad I purchased the Totally Wicked Tornado Tank. It has great reviews. I got a wee bit confused about dripping while reading this site. I guess because with this system it is an automatic dripping system...no need for the mess of carrying around juices, etc. Thought I would post this system for others to take a peek at. I love it!
