Electronic Cigs

I've bought my own juice & flavors to mix from e-liq.com - but I don't use nicotine anymore.

I also buy all my replacement parts from Totally Wicked

I am hoping all the $$ I'm about to spend on this is worth it. I think it is, or else I wouldn't have spent the last 3 hours researching. Like somebody said, it's almost a science, and there are so many varying opinions on the products. I think some trial and error is in store for me but I'm going to start with a Kanger Protank, some Kanger T3s, and trying to decide on a variable voltage battery. I like the Pure because of the pass through function but seems a bit overpriced?

Do you use a dual coil cartomizer?
What is technically the difference between a cartomizer and a clearomizer?

 

Ive been using e cigs for almost a month now and havnt touched a cig, that money you spent, very worth it. I have already noticed that i am saving a ton of money, especially because every morning i went to buy a pack of cigarettes i would buy a few other things and spend $15-$20. As for the other stuff i cant help you lol, i still dont know what half the stuff means, i picked up a eGo starter kit that came with everything. Im starting to get more into it though, and i have been thinking about buying a more advanced pv, something that will give me some noce big pulls. I think the little one i hve now uses 1.8 ohm coils

 

Info from http://www.mtbakervapor.com/

Based on 1 pack a day @ $3 a pack in 1 month 14 days I've saved $132

Good tank choices & pass through is a good thing to have if it's your only battery.

Kanger T3 (what I use) & ProTank are single bottom coils.
Q: What is the difference between the single coil and dual coil cartomizer/atomizer?
A: The more coils found in a cartomizer/atomizer the quicker it can vaporize more liquid, dual coil cartomizers/atomizers also tend to last longer.

Q: What is the difference between an atomizer, cartomizer, clearomizer, and a tank?
A: An atomizer is just the heating element, typically requiring insertion into a cone or cylinder shaped attachment before use, a cartomizer is typically a cylinder with a preinstalled atomizer, a clearomizer is a clear tank typically including a preinstalled cartomizer, a tank is the opaque version of a clearomizer.

Standard is 3 ohm T3s & ProTanks are 2.4 ohm + or - .2
Q: What does NR and LR stand for? What difference does it make?
A: Regarding a cartomizer, NR stands for Normal Resistance, and LR stands for Low Resistance. The higher the resistance the higher the ohm rating, the higher the ohm rating the higher the voltage/wattage the atomizer can support. Ex: Having voltage/wattage turned higher then the atomizer can support will burn it out quicker and most likely cause a burnt taste in vapor.
And some general info
Q: What does PG/VG stand for? What benefits come from the different blend types?
A: PG(Propylene Glycol) thinner, tasteless liquid, increases throat hit, allows for more flavor. VG(Vegetable Glycerin) thicker, sweeter liquid, increases vapor density, has no throat hit, allows for less flavor. Typically more PG can increase risk of flavor burn, where more VG can reduce flavor potency.

Q: How do I know if I will be getting a freebie?
A: If your subtotal after coupon codes before shipping charges is 15.00 or over you will be getting a freebie.
Freebies are 15 ml

 

Sorry (NOT!) for the delay; I've been either camping or in the recording studio the past 3 weeks.

You can get "smoke juice" with up to 24mg/L down to 0mg/L. With a good rig, you can actually get more of what you like about smoking, with a greatly reduced risk of cancer and COPD. Plus, gadgets are cool.

I enjoy using my PV as much as I enjoy a good Cuban cigar. I can't say much more than that.

For our 'froading buddies who are contemplating a switch to ecigs: I use a Bolt/RBA rig when I'm in the bush, and have a complement of 5 18650 batteries.

 

^ Fixed ^

 

OK I'm all in. I've ordered my items and can't wait to stop smoking. Still want the nicotine, but I've lately been worried about COPD and lung damage. Here's what I got:
2x SmokTech Ego Winder VV Battery
2x Kanger ProTank
2 Ego chargers
replacement coils
Bourbon, Ecto Cooler and 555 E juices from Mt. Baker

Thanks for the advice guys... Shit we should make an ecigarette group buy!

 

I second that shit ,,^^

 

I'm happy to report that Root Beer & Hawk Sauce live up to their reviews.
Both are excelent & have become my 2 favorites.

 

^^^ I'll have to give the Root Beer a try.

Next time I'll be sure and get only 15ml at a time. I've been trying the vape all evening and it doesn't even seem like a drop of liquid has been used.

The 555 is interesting - doesn't taste like tobacco at all. Tastes like caramel and maple and a hint of other flavors. It's pretty good, though.

I like EctoCooler a little better. This is where I enjoyed the fact battery was variable voltage. Every little change in voltage it seemed like the vapor tasted different. There was a point that seems to bring out the most flavor and least harshness. I hope the flavor gets more intense as it steeps because it does taste yummy.

 

Root Beer starts out as Anise then turns to Root Beer

 

A good source for info. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/forum.php
I go by the same user name there.

 

Thanks Randy, I'll check it out.

And thanks everyone for the good info. I have no urge to reach for a cigarette. The E cig has been a topic of conversation with my smoking buddies at work. When I first got there, I saw someone I hadn't seen in months. I ran out to show him my new device and he already had one in his hand. Apparently he picked one up a few weeks ago and never looked back. He even said there is a person at our office who makes e-juices!

I have to say, this forum got me involved and learning about a lot of things besides trucks.

 

So after a week, the 555 has become my ADV. The sweet tastes have mellowed out and a hint of tobacco flavor has come through.

I poured out the EctoCooler from my Protank and been vaping bourbon the last few days. EctoCooler started to taste just OK so I'm going to let it steep. Maybe it's because I tried it at 20/80 PG-VG blend and the others all have 50% or more PG.

The bourbon is ok as well. I'm going to try the Root Beer and a couple others.

 

My newest mod. Went from the Joyetech eVic to the iTazte AVD.

Much better built, sturdier, and heavier in the hand. Great simple usage and has variable voltage and wattage. So far, I'm very impressed.

 

Use the force Matt, use the force.
What color light saber is that?
Looks cool, how much?

 

Funny you say that, Randy...that's the SVD's nickname...

It retails at $99 for the kit, but I already have a top of the line tank and cart system from Cirrus Tanks, so I opted out of the kit and got the mod for $75. It's $25 cheaper than my last mod (eVic) and it seems to be much better built.

 

My buddy just picked one up. i forget what kind it is. i think he paid like $88 with tax. has usb charger and everything, and he got the red bull flavor. I’m hooked on it now and want one.

I don’t really smoke cigs. only time i do is if i’m camping, or at a party. smoke hookah quite a bit as a hobby.

 

Zach, cut the hookah out...trust me. I smoked hookah for 4 years, then smoked cigarettes for 4 years, and now I only vape. Hookah had, BY FAR, the worst effects on my lungs. I used to wake up after a late night hookah sesh coughing up crap and felt like an elephant was on my chest.

Vaping is a great hobby, you can use it virtually anywhere, and the flavors are spot on...not to mention the best part is you don't need to have any nicotine in it to enjoy all the other benefits and features.

If you wanna pick one up, let me know. I can point you in the right direction for a great starter kit that wont break the bank, but will get you the best product for the money.

 

yeah i don’t smoke it much, but do smoke it more then cigs. also like a nice cigar some, but i don’t breath those into my lungs.

and yeah TN sate law says you can use E cigs in any building.(well i think some you can’t like court house and maybe hospitals and stuff)
