I pretty much chain vape on my pv. All my carts have teeth marks because I hold them like a cigar...Any idea how many drags are in a cart? Better yet--how many in a eGo-Tank (which is what I use). I hadn't tried to track it, but after yesterday blowing through three tanks figure I might be hitting it too hard. Heck--I'm basically chain vaping much of the time.
Way to go, FG ! Next time you're up in Orlando, let's hang out and vape like champs.
It wouldn't hurt, I think they're $0.65 a piece. I really only use two, though - the flavors don't "stick" to the bottle, so you can just fill it with 1 ml or so and vape it for a few hours, then fill the bottle with something else. If you're planning on vaping a ton of flavors, the thing you want to have extras of is atomizers. The flavors definitely cling to those. Or, if you're going to use the catch cup to drip a few drops and switch flavors on the fly, don't start with a really strong flavor like Chocolate Mint or Atomic Cinnacide and then try to swtich to Hypnotic Mist. Do it the other way around.
Can't speak intelligently to the e-Go tank, but a standard cartomizer supposedly holds 200-250 puffs and is the equivalent to a pack of cigs. I call BS on that, though - pretty sure they tested it by having people take a small 1 second puff like you would on an actual cig. My experience is that taking 5 second pulls, I get maybe 50-100 out of a 1 ml cartomizer, probably equates to more like half a pack.Any idea how many drags are in a cart?

Yeah, heard he's got 300 Grands that will be available this run. You gotta think that if you want one, it won't be anywhere near as difficult as it has been in the past.I'm going through more juice with my Grand then I was with cartos. Not only make sure you have juice, but I would recommend that you get some with less nico then you are accustomed to. You'll want to blast away on this thing!
In fact, that's most likely why I'm going through more juice, now that I think about it.I ordered some samples from Alien Visons (had to try Boba's and I must say it rocks!) which came in 6ml bottles. I just popped off the cap and inserted it right into the Grand. Now I've got more than half a dozen bottles to fill with various juices whenever I'm ready for a change of pace.

Their 6 ml sample bottles are identical to the ones that come with the REO. So handy.... just take one out, switch the cap onto the one you're done with and plug that bad boy in.
I've been trying to get one for a month now. In that span it seems like everybody has either decided that they want one or they want another one. Good thing he's gonna have a ton this time.
Happy b'day, man. Grab a Grand, you won't regret it. I dropped over $200 on the PV, atomizers, and drip tips, and I never had a nanosecond of buyer's remorse.
What nicotine level did you get in your pre-filled cartomizers?
I haven't been analog-free, either. But it appears that you, like me, have still significantly reduced your intake of tar and smoke and that can still be only a good thing. I'm down to about two cigs a day, which is almost silly since at that level I should be able to stop altogether. Hang in there.
Was going to ask the same question. Maybe get some higher nic cartos just for work? Whatever you do, don't give up on it.
Out of curiosity, what is it about smoking that is still enticing? I too am thinking nic level could be a solution. Still great that you have significantly cut back but my experience was increasing nic at times made having my last couple cigarettes totally without enjoyment. I could not feel throathit or get nicotine reward even though I still wanted it at that point. If it is the TH or nic, that maybe something you can adjust that makes cigs less rewarding for you.
I originally started with the 6, but then tried some 11s. The 11s are noticeably different/better. The more I think about my whole situation is that it's stress and mental roadblocks keeping me on the analogs. The funny thing is that during the week, I still end up smoking close to a half pack a day, hardly even use the bloog.The vaping is a nice substitute, but something about it for me just isn't equal to the analogs, which is why I keep going back. I've noticed the feel of the bloog (weight) is totally different, I can't really hold it like an analog and then it's just weird to do it in public. People hound you about it. All of these are my own mental roadblocks, which makes me think it isn't even the smoking/nicotine addiction. Just F'd in the head right now, have almost 20 people working under me on this project, acting like they've never done this before
; some pressure from client, upper managers, etc. Driving me nuts. My smoke breaks are really just to step out and clear my head/get away from people more than "needing" a cig.
Everyone (at least on here) who has encountered similar problems has made the same "mistake", getting carts with way too low a nicotine content. Get some 24 mg carts (or maybe 16/18mg if you were a very light smoker or only smoked very light cigs) and then step out for "smoke" breaks when you normally would, and I'm fairly confident you'll notice a dramatic change.I originally started with the 6, but then tried some 11s.

I have made it a point to pretty much take all my normal smoke breaks, because even before starting vaping I knew that was huge for me. Still get up hours before anyone else and sit out on the deck, still head out from the job for some 'me' time, still spend some time evenings in the mancave with beer in hand. The only difference is that I'm vaping instead of smoking. Mostly--not 100% either, though dangerously close. Yesterday morning I smoked the last cigaret I had early morning, and while beer thirty was really crazy without any I spent a few hours putzing outside with the ecig anyway. This morning has been ok without any--but I've gone through almost two tanksful of 24mg already and about to drop down to 8mg's for awhile so as not to OD. I'm fortunate to have a lot of support at work, and pretty well hit the ecig constantly whether 'on break' or not--so it is in reverse from what you're finding in that it's easier for me at work. Sounds like our stress loads are similar.
Fair question. I don't/can't vape at work with any kind of regularity so I go long periods with no nicotine, which probably makes me need to fire up a big hitter as soon as I can. So I've kinda settled into a (1) first thing in the morning cig, (2) right after work cig and (3) before I go to bed cig (sometimes -- usually not needed after an evening of vaping by the puter). Or it could be that I'm just a weenie.
Well, don't get down on yourself over progress. Everyone's habit is different. My suggestion is using Coffee 24 in place of your cig routine could immediately give you whatever quick fix you are getting from cigs. It's a super strong throat hit, too strong for me and I avoid it because 18's feel like air for 6 hours after I do. But for an AM/after work/PM alternative it might do the trick for you. I'd think bathroom breaks would be ideal for stealth vapes at work, using the right flavors that don't stink up the room (I'm told by an unnamed person in my house that coffee and expresso are not quite stealth). However, don't drop your PV in the toilet like a couple in this thread have done.
Wow! I have to completely agree EvilGrin once again. I settled into 18s & 24's (36's damn near killed me) when I first started just to get comfortable going without analogs. Over the past couple weeks I've managed to widdle that down to 6's and 11's. I don't think I could've managed starting that low.

taking the pluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuundge
It's a whole different ballgame. My recommendation to you is to buy 2 AW IMR High Drain 18650 batteries (supertmanufacturing.com is the cheapest I've found, $10.49 EA), a charger that will hold 18650s, a few Cisco 306 atomizers and an acrylic 306 drip tip from avidvaper.com. That's the setup that has given me the best results, although some swear by 510 atomizers. I find the 306s to be better workhorse performers. Buy these ASAP so you'll have them in hand when the Grand arrives. Then, you can just plug and play.
Thanks. Will do. You are the man.
That's not really all that bad. Four tanks is right around 4ml or so. Some of those cats at ECF vape up to 10ml a day. The ego just makes it really easy to vape a lot.1st Day -0- cigs!!(yesterday only one at 04:00)...but somebody's gotta slow me down--just filled my fourth eGo tank with 24mg--when's too much too much?
Forget how much you are vaping, you are getting off tobacco, and you are doing great. Eye on the prize, get off the cigs. Worry about how much you vape later on, it isn't important now. Good job, keep it up!1st Day -0- cigs!!

...but somebody's gotta slow me down--just filled my fourth eGo tank with 24mg--when's too much too much?
I'm almost, like..."why mess with success?!!"--but feeling like I want to experiment a little. Heck, after removing one of the two tip inserts you referred to earlier I'm getting enough of a hit to blow smoke rings, but I'm curious to see if I can box the habit into my old smoking schedule instead of constantly like it's been the past week. I'm really fortunate that everyone at work accepts me vaping all the time and everywhere; it's a pretty high profile job. They--and I--are pretty amazed at how successful it's been after all these years!
First time for me ordering liquids as well...I haven't seen where to specify 20% VG--would that be during the ordering process?
I believe so. I dont remember for sure, but I know you cant go through the whole process without specifying how much VG you want. Make sure you read the bottom of the page where it tells the max VG you can order in the nic juice. Im posting from my phone so I cant go check real quick, but Im pretty sure its when you add it to your cart.
V4L (and most others I imagine) just allows you to vary nic level, and everything they sell is the same PG/VG mix (other than VG juice). Tasty Vapors allows you to customize VG with certain limits based on the nic mg. However, TV custom mixes individual orders and most other places sell premixed. That said, I don't think I would adjust V4L juices even if I could. I'm a huge fan of their juices I've tried as-is.
Wow. That says a lot. Can those flavors not be duplicated or is it just better juice? What's the VG/PG ratio and is 20/80 still considered best?
V4L juices are about 80/20 PG/VG for Premium, and closer to 70/30 for WOW juices. Its not public info, but a few reps at ECF have said this much.Myself, I like anywhere from 20-30% VG. I tried a couple 50/50 and one that was labeled 100% PG, but Im not sure if the label was correct (got it in a sample pack from a vaper at ECF, and even she wasnt sure of the vendor or the ratio.
How do you enroll?
Here is the link initially used for enrollments. There was mention on the website that this was initially supposed to be a limited-quantity list but I'd use it and see if it works. I just signed up over the past 45 days. You also can visit the Vapor4Life forum, or email a V4L agent for more info if it doesn't work.
lol...I just got my juice order in the mail yesterday, but after getting the email this morning I went ahead and ordered a couple more batteries.....damn V4L and their awesome deals...Really liking their Apple flavored juice. My new all-dayer.
LOL... someone on the V4L board posted "I have to say I saved over $256.25 today"... holy smokes, a $630 order

I've been refreshing all day. What timezone is that 7pm? 4 pdt?
Its now! I just got mine.
Have a couple questions:a charger that will hold 18650s: Where can I but this? And is there a specific kind?
