Thought this was a cool story to share…

So I was working a vape meet in Memphis. I work the Smartvapes.com table. I
work while Alan takes pictures, videos and helps people. It was starting to
get later in the evening and a lady came by to get a dripping atomizer. My
phone just happened to lose it’s charge, so I couldn’t run credit cards
anymore. Told her I had to charge it and asked if she could wait. She did, and we
talked. She was a smoker, with lots of questions. A friend had brought her to
the meet. She stayed late to talk to me, and then we parted ways.

I contacted her later to ask if she had any questions that I could help
with. She said that her ego battery died AND her car wasn’t working. I arranged
to meet her after work with a new battery and a lift! We ended up at the local IHOP
with a few fellow vapers to help her. I drove her home, but got sick from
something I ate. She invited me in to sit and rest till I felt better.
I ended up sleeping the night away on her couch.
Next came a whirlwind of dates, romantic getaways, and trying to show the world
about our love for electronic cigarettes and each other. I proposed to her March
26th 2013. She said YES! I found all of this because of vaping.

I have met a wondrous amount of people from the vape meets, and talk to many
with problems or questions they may have. But I never thought I’d find the love of my life
at a vape meet!

Several people have notified me that the Sponsor Banner creation application is not working.  You’re right, it’s not.  I’m working with the company to resolve the issue.  In the meantime, I’ve put a work around in place to allow you to create a Sponsor Banner should you want to do so.

Under the list of Sponsors you’ll find this new section:

Just click it to get to the Sponsor Banner creation page.

As always, thank you for your continued support of TasteYourJuice.com!!

I have a rather lengthy conversation with Zen. We talk about the Zen devices, the Zenesis 2 System, issues at VaperCon, his arrogance :-), and some other stuff.

Zen also surprises me with an Zenesis MFA to GIVEAWAY in a contest!

It’s been a big thing over in the EU the last couple of days in regards to the EU Tobacco Directive in which they want to ban ecigs, online sales, and nicotine containing products (Just like what is happening with the FDA). Forum members are complaining there is no singular place to find updates, no consumer voice that the EU or any government will listen to, and that we are scattered all over the place, some places never even knowing whats going on elsewhere.
So 3 social networking sites have been set up where everyone can share information about Vaping bans not just in the EU, but from around the world.

Please show your support for vapers and stand against impending bans by joining one or all 3 of these sites.

The vaping world lost a great modder Friday but most importantly we lost a great friend, a husband and a father to his 11 month old son. Vasilis Stivaktakis will be most remembered for his constant smile that filled every room he entered. Co owner of atmistique.gr and avid vaping enthusiast he is most known for his twins telescopic extension, and hippo air flow control for the provari. May he rest in peace and prayers to his friends and family.

If you would like to donate to his fund, you can do so HERE

All money raised will be hand delivered by VapinGreek during his visit to Greece the week of April 15th to his widow.

A PBusardo Review – The AGA-T(s)

In this set of videos I take a look at the AGA-T and all it’s versions.
The video is geared more towards a rookie (Not a fan of “noob”) than a veteran as I feel the AGAs are a more entry level device.

If you’re interested in taking the leap to a Genesis, you may want to consider the Smoktech RSST as your first one. It is also reasonably priced, but the spring loaded center post capture (as apposed to the 2-nut capture of the AGA-Ts) may be a little easier to work with for a new user.

The first video is the review. I also have a conversation with Greg, AKA Ninja, who was nice enough to help me with a little Genesis experiment. Thank you Greg! All of Greg’s contact information appears below.

In the second video, I take a look at three different methods for building your wick and coil assemblies and share some of my Genesis experiences to date including some of my experience in materials, gauges, meshes, and the difference between building on a wick/coil on a mech vs. a regulated device. Note that these methods can be applied to most Genesis atomizers.

My apologies for the “action” being a little off camera during some of this video. I’m working on a better method to balance my focus on the task at hand AS WELL AS keeping the action on-cam.

Let’s be clear, am I the best at this? No. But I continue to build my Genesis knowledge and share it with you to the best of my ability.

The Review Video:

IMPORTANT! The Pulse method shown in this video is not exactly the safest method out there. You’re starting off with a damn near short which could be detrimental to your battery and has the potential to lead to venting. A couple tips I’ve heard, 1) Don’t use a fully charged batter, let it drain to around 3.7 volts. 2) You may want to clean or torch your mesh before rolling it to get rid of any harmful contaminants. Use these methods, like any electric cigarette device at your own risk!!

When I got back from VapeFest, I wanted something a little different. I reached for my Melon Boba again from Good Life Vapor. Once again, I enjoyed the hell out of it.

Someone, the same day as a matter of fact, got a hold of me on Facebook to tell me they got it, they loved it, and wondered by it wasn’t in my list of favs.

So I thought it about time to add it. What is it?

Welcome the newest edition to my list! Melon Boba by Good Life Vapor. At least to me, this is primarily a honeydew vape with bits of cantaloupe, watermelon, and menthol! YES MENTHOL! I’m not even big fan of menthol, but this is “hint of menthol” done right. I keep going back to this juice and enjoy it every time.

Welcome to the list MELON BOBA!!

Remember, taste is subjective. You may not like all the liquids in my list. Hell, you may not like ANY of the liquids in the list, but these are some of my personal favs. You can find the list HERE and over in the Knowledge Base section to the left.
