    Hives!!!

    OMG, waiting for the Benadryl to kick in. This is only the 2nd time in my life I've ever had hives (except when I had poison ivy) and the first time I couldn't pinpoint any cause. I don't have any food or drug allergies that I'm aware of. Neither time have I done/eaten/used anything...

    How valid are vaping health claims?

    There seem to be a lot of people who claim vaping is safer or healthier in relation to smoking and even safe or healthy in absolute terms. I am concerned that smokers are being encouraged to vape without being given full details of actual scientific, provable data about safety. Can we justify...

    Chest Pains?

    The last few days on and off I have had chest pains. Yes I am going to see a Dr about this. At first I thought maybe an anxiety attack but stress has gotten better the last few weeks and I am not prone to chest pains. The hardest and longest one hit me a few nights ago after vaping more than my...

    Feeling Strange and Major Panic Attacks

    This product is amazing in that I was able to immediately quit using cigarettes. No problems of any kind for most of the first two days. On the second day, in the late afternoon, I mixed in maybe 20% glycerine from the local brew shop to cut the strong TW (36mg) and into the evening (and...

    Propylene Glycol and Causing Lowered Blood PH?

    The wiki on prylene glycol states that "Like ethylene glycol, propylene glycol affects the body's chemistry by increasing the amount of acid. Propylene glycol is metabolized into pyruvic acid, which is a normal metabolite in the breakdown of glucose, while ethylene glycol is metabolized into...

    Gum Disease

    My dentist is blaming the Periodontitis I've been suffering from for a year or so on my smoking. I started vaping recently, but I'm still smoking roll-ups as well. My gums have been getting a lot worse since, but that might be due to other contributing factors (such as stress). I've been...

    Can 1mL of 36mg on your skin kill you?

    Just curious. I didn't spill anything on me or anything. I seen somewhere that nicotine can become lethal at 40mg...just amazed how it appears 1mL of 36mg could do you in.

    Intestinal effects of switching?

    I was just wondering if anyone knows of any kind of effect (or lack thereof) regarding ulcerative colitis and switching to e-cigs.

    Side-effects with zero-nicotine (0mg) eLiquid?

    I did a search but didn't see anything, sorry if I just missed it. In reading posts here, I have noticed that some beginners have experienced side-effects such as headache, lethargy, ........, etc when they started vaping, as well as a harsh throat hit. I plan to be only vaping zero-nicotine...

    Define healthy for me...

    Hi all. New member and have been vaping for about 2 weeks now. I've still felt the need to smoke analogs now and again and after reading the numerous studies on tobacco and nicotine and electronic cigarettes it seems kind of normal. Just a bit of background. Anyway, I see the articles and hear...

    Diabetics?

    Just wondering if there are any insulin-dependent diabetics on here who are using e-cigs? I know nicotine raises your blood sugar and if pg/vg are sweet, do they raise it too? Any experiences to share?
