Hi Again vapers!
 
I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

Wow in a short 2 months of vapaing meri and I ahve come a long, long way.

I have tried so many vendors juices after watching vapeon.tv.com and winning some juices and purchaseing some too.

AIV will no longer get much of my business due to finding other vendors whoe e-liquid is less expensive and doesn;t take forever to get here and to have to steep at least 2 weeks to even resemble a flavor worth vaping...sorry AI\V just don;t enjoy your flavors much.

Got into my first MOD...the Vamo2 and absolutely love itt! Variable voltage/and wattrage the way to go. Match the Vamo2 with ProTank of an iclear30 and you are in serious business!!!!!

Can't wait to go to Vapestock at Indian Rocks June 8 & 9. Meet up with some of the people I've met on vapeon.tv.com

Keep on vapin'!

Finger Fail
 
Sorry for all those typos in my last post. Hard typing with cat on lap draping across my wrist as I type lol.

Here is that Vamo2 full kit I got:
http://www.vaporbeast.com/product_p/sk44.htm

The Vamo is a tried and tru MOD that is extremely popular and you get a big bang for your buck! As you can see, it has variable voltage/variable wattage available. It is at an extremely good price point and performs as well as any of the expensive Mods like the ProVari etc.

Tim at VaporBeast is awesome to deal with. He sent me about %40 worth of free extras when I purchased this device including extra 18650 battery, verynice carrying case, extra cartos, e-juice and extra clearomizers.

If you are ready for a step above your Ego style kits, I high recommend this Vamo2. I got mine in Black Chrome and love it.

Couple this with a ProTank or an iclear30 and you will not believe how awesome this is!

Again, meridiantoo posted a lot of the vendors we have purchaed things from and juices we have tried that are excellent! We love to hear from fellow vapors with any questions.

Do yourslef a favor and do come to see the shows on vapeon.tv.com in the evenings. There are great giveaways and everyone is so very helpful with answers to vaping questions. The more people we can recuit away from those stinkies, the better!

If you really want to continue not smoking or are just starting out to try to use vaping to do it, do yourslef and your loved ones that favor.

My doctor is thrilled that I have quit smoking and even asked to see my kit and demo it for him and his staff.

AIV better be amazing. I'm so accustomed to having my liquid within 5 days of ordering. 2 weeks after ordering and I just got a shipping notice yesterday.

They are amazing flavors. Luckily, they give ample warning about the fact that it will be a long time in coming. The superior vape, customer service, and packaging, for me, makes it all worth while.

uncommondialogue 05-15-2013 08:45 PM

I am disappointed in most of the AIV juice...too long to wait for the orders and not worth the wait. Most of the 13 pack samplers I got wre unvapable even after a month and a half.

Here are some excellent juice sites to try:

beeliquid.com boondockvapes.com brewcityjuice.com darthvapers.comfuzionvapor.com (get the Unicorn Blood!!!!!!! It is an all-day vape!!!!)

e-cigar... who'da thought
 
Vaping has replaced smoking cigarettes for me (yay!!!) it gives me the flavor, mouth feel, ritual, etc.

But it was a poor substitute the cigars came out. I'm in an area where there's a fairly large group of leather butch dykes who dig cigars, so at events I'd bring my Rocky Patels and just sit back with the other stogie folk and shoot the sh*t.

This last weekend was one of those events. Lo and behold, I found a disposable e-cigar. It does have a higher nic content than I'd like, but the flavor was great, full and round with a slightly sweet back. It's even wrapped in something that feels like a cigar (a bit of give, the crackle under the fingers).

I was in heaven, I even passed it around and a few folks were all "Where did you get this? I gotta get one."

The only down-side is no heat and no ash... but that's for something else entirely.

Man, I love this vaping thing.

Angelika 05-21-2013 02:17 PM

Through the haze ....
 
I switch to e-cigarettes about a year ago, and quickly went to the eGo, starting at 16mg, and now use 11mg or less Enico liquids. I am not sure if its different in the USA, but over here in Europe, specifically in the UK and Czech Republic, its no big deal, and readily available. No so much in Germany :( but I am close enough to the Czech Border when in Germany that this does not pose an issue.

I have not smoked a 'regular' cigarette since switching and funny enough, it bothers me now when I smell it.

e-cigarettes ... or vape-ing ... has changed my life in many ways; I can smell the farts of my dogs in all their glory, I have no smoke smell in my house, on my cloth or in my car, and people are forever curious about it. It is a great conversation starter.

Some Airlines allow you to use them over here. One I know of personally is Bulgarian Airlines. They are great about it. EasyJet not YET but I am working on them :), and Ryanair only if you purchase theirs on board (in-flight).

YAY for vaping, and YAY for e-cigarettes (or cigars) - may it take over the world for smokers everywhere!!!

I recently received an email offering a free e-cig., and when I opened it, starter kits were advertised, and my freebie was'nt there.:( Can I get a freebie somewhere online? Curious: Angelika said she started at 16mg nic. Does the 16mg nicotine carry a smell in the vaper? I'm currently in an environment where there cannot be any type of smoke smell, plus.. I'm tired of walking a block on and off the premises at all hours. I need to start vaping asap, but.......I want a freebie first ;)

uncommondialogue 05-22-2013 12:29 AM

to Glenn
 
Why do you need a freebie to start vaping???? I've been vaping for over two months now. There is a wonderful site called vapeon.tv.com where there are nightly skype type shows and viewers can chat too. I learned so much from this show on the various products out there and glad I did. A lot of people aren't succesful with the cheapy stick kind found in gas stations. A lot of e-mails come to people saying they are free trials for those kind...read the fine lines!!! After your 14 day trial period they will charge you around $99 to keep the set and then you have to buy more cartos/clearomizers and e-juice and things for them. I would suggest getting into a nice way to vape to start such as the Ego Twist or a Spinner. These are variable voltage battereies you can change to find the right setting for different juice used in clearos or cartomizers. Soon, as you get more into more sophistcated equipment you may be even happier using that. Even beyond that step, you can get into what we call Mods, These are bigger units and have variable voltage/variable wattage. The vaping community is growing by leaps and bounds and has come a long way from those near useless stick e-cigs. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Anybody I can help get off the "stinkies", as we call real cigarettes the better. There are many good vendors meridiatoo and I know aout that have great juice, very flavorful and satisfying. The nicotine level is determeined by you when you order it unlike those stick ciggies. Seriously, we would help answer your questions and give you more information to explain it all. We want there to be successful stories about people getting off cigarettes. We can hook you up to links for these items. The other thing you may want to consider is going to a brick & mortar vaping shop if you have one in your area. Please, again, just ask away for information from us. Your area may even have some vape meets you could check into also. If you are still smoking you have enough money to transition to vaping. The biggest thing you will have is a much healthier body that will probably last longer than when you smoked. Your health improves and you give yourself added years to spend with a partner, relative and friends.

As unc said, don't fall for the 'freebies', they seldom are.

Now, I don't have a problem with the pen-style or stick e-cigs and, in fact, still use mine.

If you want to find out if vaping would work for you, you can probably find a disposable e-cig outlet. Of the e-cigs most often found, I would recommend NJoy or Cig2o; other knockoffs aren't as good. If you're in the US, they're at a lot of convenience stores and drug stores too.

A local vape store (if you have one) is an even better bet; they would let you try various batteries/flavors, etc.

I totally understand not wanting to invest a lot of $$ if you don't know it will work. Caveat: what you get in a disposable is adequate, better/bigger batteries make a difference.

You asked about scent, it varies from flavor to flavor. Since you said "smoke smell" I'm assuming you mean tobacco, or something burning. Most of my tobacco flavors will have a slight scent while the vapor is visible, not not after. And nothing I vape smells of burning.

Good luck!

Odd that you've had this experience. With both freshly made orders received from AIV, along with several sample bottles, I followed proper steeping instructions, and was vaping amazing flavors within 2 weeks. Their flavors, to me, are worth the price, and A Quiet Morning is my daily vaping choice. I don't like that I have to wait so long for orders, but that was clearly explained when I ordered, and I just plan ahead.

I'm curious, have you contacted them about your experience? It's hard to provide great customer service, if you aren't aware there is a problem.

uncommondialogue 05-22-2013 11:23 AM

My point is, there are too many other vendors that their stuff if even better right out of the bottle. Even with long steeps, I still find a lot oftheir flavors not up to par. Try Zombee at beeliquids.com and you will be amazed. Try Unicorn Blood from Fuzion...same thing. Time to venture out Holly (just kidding hon) There is a world of other vendors for so many unique blends out there and at better prices and shipping time and right-out-of-the-bottle goodness.

Come over to vapeon.tv.com and see for yourself. You won't ber disappointed.

Loren_Q 05-22-2013 01:39 PM

Taste is subjective...
 
You know, people like what they like. And what vapes good to me is crap to someone else. And that's totally fine, but don't dis my juice taste.

For me, it's more than just flavor, I put thought into my vendors. Who they are, how they operate. So it's just not "oh, that's yummy".

What I want from a juice vendor (in no particular order)
1. quick turnaround
2. prefer tobacco/coffee/menthol flavors, although a few dessert ones have turned my head.
3. supporting local companies and/or woman owned (or partly woman owned) companies.
4. made in the USA and clearly stating they use USP grade materials
5. tell me they mix juice under lab conditions (I email and ask this)
6. good customer service

I'd prefer less expensive, but that's not anywhere near as important as what I've listed.

I can bend on 2 and 3; am more rigid on 1, but 4, 5 and 6 are mandatory. I don't care how tasty something is if they're making it in the back of a van while eating tacos and petting the dog.

My top 2 vendors meet all 6 (Tasty Vapors, Heather's Heavenly Vape), my next fave has 5 of 6 (EC Blends) and a new contender (Fancee) has 4 of 6.

Now what was my point? Oh yeah... taste is really subjective.

If you've looked over my previous posts, you'll see that I have tried vapes from other vendors, in fact one of my favorites (and Gaige's too), is from ECBlends, called Dragon's Blood. I've also posted about going down the rabbit hole of videos about vaping. After sampling many, I have found one that I like, that I can buy in large quantity, from a company that I feel is top notch in available flavors and customer service (but could use more employees & a faster turnaround).

Obviously, we have very different tastes. Since I've found one that I love, I don't feel the need to venture out any further, spend more money trying vapes I may or may not like, when I have found one that I love. I do enjoy other flavors through AIV, like Lemon Loves Cake, and the creamsicle flavored one. But, A Quiet Morning is one that I just never tire of.

As far as joining another site to chat about this topic, I just don't have the desire, energy, or time in my life to socialize on another site, that is only dedicated to one topic. I have equipment & vape that I like, friends here at BFP that are also vaping, and that does enough for me.

Gaige and I are hoping that there is still going to be vaping get together at BFP Reunion, we both think that would be an awesome group to socialize with about vaping...

uncommondialogue 05-23-2013 09:25 PM

Glen,

You may be interested in a little starter kit from vapedojo.com for their Katana starter kit. It is a small battery unit at 650 mAh, but it comes with the full kit including clearomizer and battery charger for only $12.99. I got it for $9.99 with a coupon code KATANA but I don't think that $3 discount is still available. Just need some e-liquid to get you going.

uncommondialogue 05-23-2013 09:27 PM

So sorry, didn't mean to ruffle feathers...it is just my experience with that vendor...enough said.

kittygrrl 05-23-2013 10:32 PM

I don't vap
 
but I feel it might be a good way of relaxing..am I right? I don't want or need nicotine, just something for my hands. Something satisfying but s.i.m.p.l.e? I'm not into complicated just now. ty

No need to apologize, I am unruffled, I was just providing more information, to show you where I am coming from.

uncommondialogue 05-24-2013 08:25 AM

Also, I suggested vapeon.tv.com for those that may be interested in new products or are new to vaping and can have questions answered.
