Vape-heads? Do You Vape?

[Loren_Q]

Strappie,
It does sound like you are allergic to PG. Is there any way your store can make a 100% VG, since you're not planning on ordering on-line?

One of my co-workers does 100% VG, he uses a standard starlight clearomizer. What he does though is he dilutes it with distilled water. He pops the cap off the juice and drops it in with a clean eyedropper. Then closes the cap and "shakes it to hell and back".

I hope you find a way around vape-mouth, it's a shame if you can't.

Yes, it's been a damn shame that I can't smoke it like I want to. I am however going to try the higher dose of VG if not the 100% VG rather than my stores 50/50.

*raising my hand*

I started vaping on one of Scorp's about a week ago. She's got the eGo-T, with eGo transparent clearomizers. She had a tank with ECBlend's "top of the muffin blueberry" that she didn't like, but I did, and have been using that ever since. I wasn't sure if it was something I would like -- I've never been a smoker (except for that one "rebellious" summer...rar ) but thought it might help with food cravings. I do like it, and will probably get a starter kit of my own (eGo-C in pink, anyone?)

I'm kind of getting sick of the flavor now, but we just ordered 9 more (haha!) from ECBlend to try out.

I was really confused by all the terminology -- texting Medusa a few days ago, asking "wtf is throat hit?" LOL -- and just found this review of several different tank systems that might be helpful to someone. I don't think I've seen this link here, but I may have missed it. Anyway:



Enjoy!

Well it's been nearly a week of vaping. Yes the steeping is helping increase the flavor of the 100% VG blends I ordered. Taking some advice (Loren_Q I think) I ordered new flavors with extra flavoring. And I am really not into the flavors of desserts. Fruit yes. I need a bit of a kick, some tangy and strength.

I am finding that I am staying off of cigarettes with minimal stress on the nicotine free liquids. I just happen to vape a lot longer. I like the visable smoke of the VG liquids. Apparently the act of breathing and seeing it is important to me. Next thing you know I'll be taking up Yoga.

8 days vaping, with no interest in cigs! YAY!

I have developed some of the dry mouth symptoms, but I'm not sure what the ratio is on the juice I bought locally. I've been meaning to call them about that.

I ordered from Heather's nearly a week ago, and the status is still "processing", I know they warned me about the long processing time, but I am starting to feel a little impatient.

I replaced the cartomizer in my e-cig last night, the first one wouldn't thread, the second one did thread, but now I'm having some trouble with it, it works for a few puffs, and then I have to take it apart again. I'm hoping I don't have to go back to the shop to get this resolved. I'm thankful I have a second tank with a working cartomizer.

Got it resolved over the phone! I just need to take the tank off of the battery to replace the cartomizer, apparently, the battery pushes something up inside the tank that makes it difficult to thread the cartomizer. YAY!

I forgot to mention that my local store's juice is 100% PG. That makes me even more impatient to get the new stuff from Heather's (it will be a week on Monday, that it has been "processing")!

Steeping has helped pretty much every juice I've gotten. Like you I'm not one for the desserts, but I'm not partial to fruit either.

I'm willing to try new things but keep going back to the tobaccos (reg and menthol), coffees and Vanilla. I am looking for a good toffee one.

Oh, I do have a bacon sampler. I'm alternately excited and scared to try it.

I hope the added flavor helps!

C'mon over, I'm vaping blueberry muffins right now! This particular flavor is Top of the Muffin Blueberry from http://www.altcig.com. I think Medusa has mentioned that the blueberry muffin from http://www.heathersheavenlyvapes.com is good, too.

Our 9 new flavors from ECBlends are due to be delivered today...I can't wait!

The word of the day is STEEP. I was so excited to try one of the new flavors...I picked caramel capuccino (yum!) and it tastes like burnt coffeepot. Yeaaaaah, let's give that a few days before trying it again.

I am back to the vape very very soon uuuugh !!!!

I've gotten coffee juice from a couple of different places. One was pretty fine after a week (Apollo), the other one is getting there (going on 3 weeks).

I think the stronger, complex flavors need extra steeping time. When I got my ECBlends order, both the coffee and RY4 had "allow 1 to 2 weeks steeping" printed on the packing sheet.

The RY4 is wonderful now, but the coffee is still bitter - that's the one going on 3 weeks.

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

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.

[uncommondialogue]

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????

[meridiantoo]

I purchased 2 more juice flavors today:


Clove



Very Cherry



Will post my review when it arrives.

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.
