Discreet vaping at desk
 

I watched a youtube video addressing this issue...the guy said fir when you draw, lrsbr in mouth...inhale...then inahale again...most of the vapor doesn;t show after that

Dripping isn't done on a PV like yours. You have a tank system with a very specific tank atomizer. You can buy a normal atomizer to use with your PV and then you could drip if you wanted to.

Dripping is when you have only an atomizer on the PV and you drip a few drops in at a time to vape them. There are a lot of people who do this, even with the advent of all the tanks systems and assorted tanks like Vivi Nova's, CE's and T3's. There are a couple of atomizers that are most commonly used: the 510 and the 306. Both are 510 threaded and come in standard, low resistance and high resistance, and with the 510 there's also an option to not have a metal bridge in the atomizer (many people removed these so they started manufacturing them without them in a different configuration.

If you're curious about dripping, you should be able to find any of the 510 or 306 atomizers with no problem for under $6 or so. You *have* to buy a different drip tip for the 306 than you do for the 510 (the 510 one is the one most people use on their tanks and cartomizers) - the good thing is you can get them for $2 just like any cheap 510 drip tip :)

Have fun!

I bought a vaporizor today. Is steeping only important if one is using nicotine? If its been sitting in the store for a while, does that count as pre-steeped?

I am interested in adding clove, lavender, or sage for health reasons (anti-anxiety) to my juice and I know that many people use vaping for pot so this is not an original idea. Is there any advice you can give me?

Thank you!

I know they sell just flavoring juices, meaning, no nicotine, but I am guessing you mean cold-pressed or essential oils? Don't take my word for anything, this is all new to me, but, I think it depends on how thick the liquid is and what type of system you are using, maybe? I'm sure someone will answer who knows for sure.

I wanted to ask you a question about your juices - Did you purchase them at a Vape store? Like a local place?

:clover:

I do as you describe here, I draw on the vape, then inhale the last little bit of vape that lingers in the tip, allowing no vape to linger in the air. Then I either hold it in long enough that when I exhale there is no vapor, or I blow it into my sleeve, or put my head down and blow it into the front of my clothing.

I did this in a team meeting the other day, I had my vape end tucked into the long arm of my cardigan, and no one was the wiser. The people I have asked about it, tell me that it just looks like I'm biting on the tip of a very fancy pen.

dripping
 

I don;t quite get the draw to dripping. To only put a few drops on to only get a few hits off seems like a pain to keep having to add juice. What is the real draw to dripping????

Ordered 2 more juices from V4L
 

I purchased 2 more juice flavors today:


Clove



Very Cherry :cherry:



Will post my review when it arrives.


:clover:

When people vape pot, they're burning it in a vaporizer, not inhaling vaporized liquid. They are two very different types of vaporizers. You should ask a dr if it's safe to directly inhale liquid lavender or sage - clove is a flavor additive that you can find on various sites that sell e-cig flavorings. I don't know if it's safe for your lungs to inhale sage, primarily - i'm pretty sure i've seen lavender, but don't know where to find the flavor. When working with e-cigs, you can't use essential oils, you need to use flavorings made expressly for use in an e-cig. Oils can damage or destroy a PV. i have over 200 flavorings and although i've seen clove, i haven't seen the other 2, so be very cautious before you take that step.

As far as steeping, without the nic the only reason to steep is to allow flavors to meld. If you try it and it tastes good to you, you don't need to steep it - that goes for fresh flavors too - some are fine immediately...steeping comes down to "does this taste right or should i let it sit for a little while."

It's because you get better flavor. It doesn't get dulled by being in a carto or tank, although newer tanks are OK on flavor and some are really good on keeping flavor. When I drip, it's kind of like a little time for me to be active in my vaping, kind of like when i had to light and deal with a cig. Sounds nutty, but a lot of people feel that way, lol. It's a personal choice and even with those newer, fresher taste tanks, i still like having my quiet time with my ecig and just enjoying the flavor - it's never as fresh as it is when you drip :)

Hope that explained things (including little rituals, lol) :)

I purchased it in a kiosk. My fiance and I are going to start making our own.

Daisy already said most of what I was going to say regarding what's safe, etc. The one thing I did want to point out is the term 'vaporizor' is used for a few different products.

Most of us on here are talking about ecigs (battery to heat atomizer to vaporize e-liquid). There are products like the PAX vaporizer from Ploom that uses heat to vaporize plant material - it doesn't burn the material, but heats it.

I have 4 cartomizers of pre-loaded tobacco flavor from V4L called 555. They get a 4.5 out of 5 star rating. This is the website description of them:

"This sensory-pleasing electronic cigarette cartomizer includes our distinctive 555 e-liquid flavor blend. While your taste buds savor the complex harmony of sweet, cured tobacco and freshly harvested hazelnut, your worries will drift away with the voluminous clouds of relaxing cartomizer vapor."

I also have a spearment pre-loaded flavored cartomizer.

These are 808D threaded cartomizers.

I'm sure I won't use them. If anyone wants them, I will be glad to pop them in the snail mail for you. If you want them, just IM me and let me know.

:moonstars:

Daisy pointed out the fresher flavor, ritual reason. Another is it's a less expensive option if you want to change flavors. Yeah, the first drip with a new flavor may have a mixture of old/new but that quickly heats off.

So if you like switching flavors throughout the day (and I do) you can drip (which I don't do) or carry a few different flavors in cartos with you. I use a small cigarette case to carry 3 cartos and an extra battery, it's not larger than my wallet so it fits fine in my pants or a jacket pocket.

When I graduate up to an ego, I'll have to find an easy way to carry 3 or 4 clearomizers (type of tank) with me. I'll tackle that when the time comes.

I just made another order at ECBlends, including one I invented myself! I called it Bananas Foster...banana, brown sugar, rum, and cinnamon. I can't wait to taste that. The others are Dragon's Blood (Hollylane, was it you who said you loved that one?) Margarita (lime,) and a bigger bottle of Strawberry Daiquiri because my little one is almost gone.

Juices
 

Gonna try that site also. Have looked at it and the way you can customize your own blends sounds great. First of the month, when the budge allows, am going to try sample packs and some of my own blens. Thanks all for the info and sites to bu juices from.

EGO C
 

Decided at first of the month, when the funds are there, to get the EGO C from Totally Wicked--nice two tank starter kits there. Their customer service was good answering questions for me when I called them today. The highly recomend the EGO C units.

Can hardly wait to order juices from sites you all recommended.

Almost all juice can eventually "cook down" in any type ofcvfr tank or clearomizer. Sometimes it actually tastes better, and you can also add fresh juice to it to thin it back out again when it's low. You can also, of course, clean out the tank/clearo and refill it, i haven't found the need to yet as when i add fresh juice it thins back out. As far as leaking, I don't know what you're vaping with so I can't really give you an answer without knowing. I haven't noticed a difference between pg/vg levels and it happening - it just sort of happens. You'll find that if you try to drop to no VG - you're going to lose the vapor and have quite a throat hit to boot. I used to think it was darker liquids that went thick/cooked down faster, but it's all juices, no matter their color to start with.

Hope that helped at least a little!

Joye Ego E
 

Does anyone have a site for the best price on the starter kit for the Joye Ego E kit?

There's no such thing as a Joye Ego E kit. There's the regular ego, ego T, ego C and ego VV. The only Joye product with an E at the start of it is the Ovale Elips...is that the one you mean? You may have gotten confused because they separate the E from E Cig in a lot of listings.

If you can find the one you're talking about, post a link and I'll do some searching for pricing for you :)

Thanks!

Ego-C
 

That must have been an old review/ad I saw on the internet. The Ego C Twist with the variable battery sounds interesting. Also saw an Ego-C starter kit on SmokeyStick.com for much less expensive than other site. Have een that Joye E is the best EgoC brand to go with. Don;t think I am going to get into dripping. I have several tips I can just put different flavor juices in and put in a case.

The Twist is the VV (variable voltage) that i mentioned. It's a great starter device and you may not play much with the "twist" portion as much at first, but you'll like it when you start tweaking flavors and know that some taste better at a higher/lower voltage, whereas with the non twist models you're getting 3.7v and that's it. This will give you (i think) 3.0 to 5.0 or something very similar.

As far as dripping, you need atomizers to go with those drip tips. With dripping, you'd need to bring the juice with you because you're only dripping 3 drops or so each time, it's different than using a cartomizer - you can't drip on a cartomizer, only an atomizer - so be aware of that :)

GL - i think you'll enjoy the twist!

-daisy

twist vs joye ego-c
 

Would you recommend the twist then over the regular ego c?
Can atomoizers be used on the ego c or twist if I decide I want to try dripping?

Yes, i definitely recommend the twist over the plain ego C. Atomizers can absolutely be used on any 510 threaded ego device - or any 510 threaded device, that for that matter, that isn't an automatic battery. You won't go wrong with the twist :)

-daisy

Is one juice darker than the other? Darker fluids seem to "cook" a *little* faster, and more quickly if it's one you chain vape because it'll get hotter if you're chain vaping vs the occasional vaping. All juice can cook down, just because they're the same pg/vg blend, doesn't mean that the base flavors don't react differently to heat - they're gonna have different flavor ingredients. Also, different companies use different nicotine bases, different brands of pg and vg (yes, there are different kinds of all three) and those are mitigating factors in the "cooking" of juices

Juice that gets cooked down is not going to kill you, and you can juice keep adding new juice to it as long as you aren't getting a burnt flavor.

New kits
 

So, today ordered online with SmokeyStick.com and bought the EgoC starter kit for only $48 and an EgoC Twist starter kit for only $32.95....best prices on these I have found ANYWHERE! Now time to order some of those delicious juices y'all have recommended on this thread. Thanks all!

etc
 

and, yes, that Ego-C starter kit is the full 2 unit kit with the extras in it, not just one!

How many and how sucessful?
 

I started vaping as a way to quit smoking, is that true for you?

If it is, how successful has vaping been for you?

For me, vaping's been quite successful. Yes, I've had a few cigarettes since I started vaping, but I've had fewer in the 3 months I've been vaping than in 1 day of smoking.

smoking
 

Yes, I cut down to 1/3 of what I smoked in regular cigarettes and that is going down even more. Funny how vaping the delicious flavors is like having a dessert and quitting hasn;t made me want to eat more to compensate.

That's definitely an added benefit. An interesting thing for me is I'm per-diabetic so I try to stay away from desserts anyway. My 'sugar' downfall is fruit.

Since I've been vaping, my blood glucose has dropped and is consistently hovering at it's lowest point. Technically, 1 point lower and I wouldn't be considered per-diabetic. This alone is a reason to keep vaping.

While vaping isn't a 100% substitution for smoking, the added benefits sure make it way worthwhile.

I bought a Blu system,it works just fine,The only thing is I wish it had more flavors but the hard cherry is realy good,so is the pena colida and the coffee flavors,the only other ones are tobbaco and menthol wich the tobback is ok but I wouldnt touch mentholl nasty stuff it is.I wouldnt smoke it when I was on real ciggies.I get the 0 nicotine ones works good for me.

No the batteries dont last long enough but I keep it charged for home use, get a solid system bule with tobbaco flavor for when I go somewhere cause if I lose it I only lost $7.00 it has 400 puffs to use so last a while.I may well invest into a diffrent unit but so far this is ok,I use to be a two pack a day smoker and quit for a long time,being I spend lots of time in pool halls breathing everyones second hand smoke had me getting to urge to smoke again so this is better than the real thing...even my doctor says it's a good go between.I njust wish it had a hot cinnamon flavor or something like hot dam, good stuff.

Wheeeeeeeee, placed juice order
 

So, I took the plunge and ordered the (no2) 16 flavor sample pack of juice from Alice In Vapeland. I also placed a sizeaable order with EC Blend. ECBlend order will get here much quicker than Alice order will but I look forward to trying both sites juices. Should be getting my new starter kits of EGO-C and EGO-C Twist also. Now, that will make 3 different types of kits I have. With more reading, will probably buy an atomizer that holds more juice and may even try dripping if I can understand just how it works lol.

If you load your own cartomizers, you can buy cinnamon e-liquid from a few different vendors.

You do have to be careful with cinnamon if you're using acrylic or polycarbonate clearomizers as they will crack.

V3
 

So, today picked up a V3 dual coil clearomizer...neat unit...comes in many colors and nice hit off it...comfortable drip tip. Can't wait for my EGO-C and EGO-C Twist and all the juices I've ordered to get here...along with a 3.5ml clearomizer..Think I am getting intothis shit? hahahaha

Uh, yeah a wee bit serious.

You know, I started feeling guilty about the hardware and liquids costs I was incurring, then I did math.

I was a 1/2PAD smoker at $6 a pack. That's about $90 a month. I've been vaping since the end of December, so I've NOT spent about $270 on smokes.

Now, maybe I've spent that much or a bit more on vaping because of start up cost (starter kit, eGo VV, cartos, clearos) but the on-going costs are going to be a lot lower.

Plus I can't put a dollar value on my health.

So hell yeah, get into this shit, it's good stuff.

Ego-V & Ego-C Twist
 

well, got both starter kits...omg the EgoC-Twist is awesome! Being able to adjust the voltage is great!

Got a larger 3.5 ml tank and 2 other clearomizers. Also, got my EC Blend juice order today. They included a free 5 ml bottle of e-juice...Twinkie and a "freinds tip". Their flavors are awesome and can't wait to try out some others. I quick steeped with hot water bath just so I could try the sample....the rest I will continue to steep. Also got 2 blunt needle syringes that make filling tanks so much easier now.
Waiting for my Alice In Vapeland order still,,,theirs takes 2 weeks for deliveries though.
