Two or three of my favorite juices (key lime pie, banana puddin', and to some extent cake) makes me pretty thirsty after 5 or 6 hits of their awesome goodness. The key lime pie is a diy and the other two are made at a local vape store.
I was just wondering if anyone else experiences moderate thirst after a few tokes of a good e juice?
My stats:
I vape .5 ohm, with dual coils
I vape 6 mg nic
I vape around 25-30w
I've been home sick so I've been vaping a lot more than usual. Even when I'm at work, I drink a lot of water. I am just constantly thirsty.
I also take medications for bipolar disorder and mood stabilizers. I don't think these have anything to do with it.
Either way I am going through water and pissing like crazy. And not just water, milk, pop too.
Help?
OK back story here ...
I had been vaping on this juice called Monkey Fart .. comes from Slim's E-Juice .. you guys might know who he is - makes some pretty good stuff.
Anyway, it's sort of a lighter vape - supposed to be like, banana nut bread... but its not very heavy at all, almost kind of refreshing ... Took me a day or so to get into it, I don't know if this happens with anyone else or not ...
Switched to Five Pawns Gambit this evening, which I absolutely love .. and that's a very rich juice ... and the first few vapes was like that feeling you get after you eat a bunch of something really rich ... it was like ... cloying to me ..
Does one get accustomed to this after awhile? Myself not being a dripper, I'd imagine this has to be about 20x more intense with an RDA...
I'm probably not announcing anything new and shocking here - I'm sure a lot of people have had these experiences .. but thoughts?
Sooo last weeks I was able to wick my atty in a way that for me it's perfect...no dry hits no leaks or flooding or anything and I enjoy Soo much...
After vaping some strawberry cookies and chocolate....(very dark juice coil abuser) it was rewicking time...
Put fresh cotton and start vaping and dammm bad taste....dry hit
Tried make it work...nothing...
Ok let's rewick...again same dry hit
Not anything crazy but just that light dry hit bad taste....
After rewicking 3times and using almost no cotton hahaha I was like ...... Cant dry hit now
TURNS OUT IS WAS A JUICE I BOUGHT ALREADY MADE...WAS CUSTARD CARAMEL AND SOME CEREAL STUFF TOGETHER OR SOMETHING
THIS THING TASTES LIKE DRY HITS!!!
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA not exactly same taste but was very similar EWWWWWWW
I AM SUCH A NOOOOOOOOOB
anyways that's all....I make my own juice just forget my bottle and I was at work so I bought a juice from a store nearby
There are so many vape shops in my immediate area now that I can't even keep track of them all.
Even though I still qualify as a newbie vaper, since I've only been vaping for a few months, I now know enough about vaping to know a terrible vape store when I see one.
I was in a vape shop some weeks ago, and what I witnessed shocked me.
This vape store sold the typical premium juices and brands that you'll find everywhere and they also sold some hardware, like clones and mods.
They also had their own brand of cheap, in house juice which they sold and which they would also give out to customers as part of their rewards system, where customers who earn enough points will get a small, free bottle of juice.
While I was in the store looking around, another customer was there and they were getting a free bottle of that in house juice, and they were sampling different flavors, to see which one they wanted.
The sales person asked the customer what nicotine level they wanted, and after the customer told them, I saw the sales person walk towards the middle-back of the shop, and in less than 30 seconds, the juice was mixed and ready to go. The sales person was just eye balling the nicotine content! And it was being mixed right there in the open, in the middle of the shop!
I don't need to be an advanced vaper to know that this is not good at all, and I am shocked that somebody with such bad knowledge would even dare to open their own vape store. Needless to say, a vape store like that probably won't stay in business for long, when there are so many other better options around, with more knowledgeable people working in them.
I've been vaping with v4l and v2 e-cigs for a couple years mostly the ego style ones. I love messing with all the technology I have and I'm very hands on so I figured I'd stop limiting myself. I bought a Sigelei 100w Plus, Kanger Sub Tank Mini, and a Mutation X V3 RDA.
WOW
I feel stupid for not doing this earlier. I've been vaping 12mg for a couple months now, but bought 6mg for the Sub Tank and RDA and that is even too strong! I diluted it with 100% PG to make it 3mg and it is much better. I couldn't be happier. No dry hits.. no leaking... all the problems I've dealt with over the past couple years are gone and I'm experiencing vaping like never before.
Success!!
Plus I finally convinced my GF to start vaping on New Years Eve and she hasn't looked back. She's using the V2 Pro Series 3 which she loves and we even found some really good house made flavors at a local vaping shop that we really liked. She got cotton candy and I got cigar. I didn't think a vape shop would have juice that good and they even made it fresh right in front of us. To my surprise no steeping required!
Alright I'm rambling. I will leave you with this pic.. and to all you musicians out there that is a ART Pro MPA II preamp with genuine Telefunken tubes from the 60's.

I have found that my body and my throat doesn't like 50/50 ratio juices, and I much prefer everything about high vg juices, lowest being 70% vg up to 100%vg. But i have only found a couple of high vg juices at my local store. Any suggestions?
God bless!
its been a year since i had a allergic reaction to a juice (banana suicide) and i haven't been able to vape... i just choked...and i had to resort back to smoking... i know .. i know... and ive had a sinus cold the last few days so i went to the local vape shop bought a small bottle of juice since i didn't want to smoke while sick and tried it..yesterday....and what do you know...... IM SO EXCITED i can vape!!
I had this thought yesterday. I'm pretty sure that the mechanics for such an idea is not currently in place, but it would be cool if there was a weekly or monthly Hitlist chart for e juice, just like there is for music, movies and other things.
The chart would track the top online retailers and also some brick & mortars that participate. That would cover most places where people buy e juice I believe.
Wouldn't it be cool to see what the #1 selling e juice in the USA is for this week? Wouldn't it be cool to notice if an unknown, brand new flavor made its way in to the chart for a certain week?
Everybody has different tastes in juice, and some juices that people boast about is the same exact juice that other people hate. Reviews are 100% subjective, but this chart wouldn't be, because it would be based on sales data and nothing else. It wouldn't tell somebody how juices taste, but it would tell somebody how much juices are selling compared to other juices, based on their chart position.
I would be more likely to test a juice that was high on the charts, instead of relying on somebody else's subjective review. Either way, I just think that it would be cool to see such a chart, and to have it updated every week or every month, just for the sake of curiousity and entertainment. It would also be a good thing for juice manufacturers in my opinion, because it could help to drive more sales for popular juices.
I am somewhat curious why vape shops don't carry supplies to make your own e juice. I understand they make good money on their juices but for the people that do make their own, the shops are losing that sale all-together. Brew shops carry supplies to make beer and they also make good money; why then, can't vape shops do the same with juice?
Been vaping and quited smoking last year December 07,2014. Until now, my set up is strictly just two (2). First Vivi Nova 3.5ml + a Vamo 6, with one spare tank and 3 wicks. Then after a month I bought a second set-up namely: Aspire Nautilus 5ml + a Cloupor mini 30W. I do have a have a bad habit of having/purchasing a replacement or emerency tank so I also have an Aspire Nautilus Mini and 5 spare BVC coils. Well my rough estimation is around less than USD200 including e-Juice which I got from friends... Marlboro and Cuban Cigar flavors.
I mix those two juices, because Cuban Cigar juice is almost perfect clear in color, while Marlboro is Light to medium yellow... while Cuban cigar CAN be vaped at 15up Watts without burnt taste, but lacks "Throat hit" so, I add 30/20 cuban /Malrboro for more throat hits... all at zero (0) nico. btw.
Goal is: to keep away from analogs, still play with moderate vapor and enjoy throat hits + the smell of cigar and try to save money. I consider myself a "Casual Vaper".
