    Somewhat positive article on Healthcare Professionals Network

    - See more at: Are E-Cigarettes a Good Thing? Sounds good and of course it's positive that some MD's seem to be supportive, and are prepared to write articles to that effect, but I do have some concerns about this. Mainly that the author just does not have a clue what he's writing about...

    IPV2S unstable resistance problem - something to do with spring loaded connector?

    I have had a problem with the resistance jumping about on my two week old IPV2S. It started maybe two days ago. Resistance was jumping about wildly causing burnt hits, one melted coil etc. I've already contacted the vendor who advised me to send it back for them to check it over. However in...

    Replacement polycarbonate tanks

    Hi HealthCabin. I was wondering if replacement tanks for the Hcigar Taifun GT style atty that I got from you are available? Just seems a bit of an omission as the plastic tanks do wear out over time and it would be nice to be able to buy spares that I know would fit, rather than take a gamble...

    E-cigarettes - disruptive innovation & public health potential

    An excellent presentation by Professor Gerry Stimson on the harm reduction potential of e-cigs at the HIT Hot Topics conference in Liverpool, UK. It's well worth a watch :) http://youtu.be/ZcvLiDr0KRM

    England: E-cig Use Statistics

    This was posted on UKVapers, but I thought you guys might be interested too. Some statistics on smoking and e-cig use have been released by Smoking In England/University College London. They have been gathering data on e-cigarettes since 2011. It's the three Powerpoint files at the top -...

    Poor battery contact issue on Reo Grande

    Hi, just wondering if anyone has any tips on this issue that has recently started affecting my Reo. I find the switch doesn't always make good contact with the battery, and it misfires often. I also notice small sparks between the battery positive and the switch when activating it indicating a...

    Caramel/Nut/Vanilla/Tobacco Mix

    Sorry, can't think of a good name, and there's very little tobacco taste in it. But it seems like quite a nice vape, and smells delicious. This is not one I can vape a lot as it's very sweet, but nice in small doses... To make 5ml I did as follows (approx % in brackets) but obviously can be...

    What's up with China Post?

    I placed an order on August 4th and it was shipped quite quickly, but it still hasn't arrived. I thought this was unusual as all my previous orders have arrived in 1.5-3 weeks maximum. I noticed something strange on the China Post tracking site now, with the package apparently going to Xiamen...

    Inawera Tobacco flavours

    I have a lot (well seven) more to try, and still getting to grips with some of them. The flavours ordered from Inawera Flavors who are based in Poland. The delivery (to the UK) was quick and the prices are great. For the time being here's some thoughts on the first two: Virginia Mixed at 3%...

    E-liquid poll - DIY or not?

    I'm interested in how many people now DIY their e-liquids compared to those who only buy ready mixed, and also any views on why you do or don't choose to mix your own. By DIY e-liquid I mainly mean buying unflavoured nicotine base, flavouring etc. and mixing it yourself to your own taste. But...

    Nicvape - good service and quality

    Well there's not too much to say here. I placed an order with Nicvape for a bottle of unflavoured nicotine, 50mg/ml on a Friday afternoon. Early the following week I received a shipping notification with my tracking number. Exactly one week later, it was delivered, safely packaged and with no...

    Mild Apple Tobacco

    I would describe this as a mild woody tobacco with aniseed notes and a hint of apple. I do like quite subtle flavouring and I used 90% PG/10% VG on this, so adjust to taste :) To make 10ml: 12 drops (4%) FA Ultimate 7 Leaves 6 drops (2%) TPA Green Apple 3 drops (1%) FA MTS Vape Wizard 12...

    What strength e-liquid do you VAPE?

    I think it's about time to do a new poll on what e-liquid strength you vape (not necessarily buy). I.e if you buy 48mg and cut it to 24mg, choose 24mg. If you vape varying strengths, then try to choose the one you vape most often. If you vape a strength between two of the options, please...

    "Cowboy Blend" (Flavourart)

    Thought I'd post up a recipe which I've come up with which I thought works quite well. It is not a strong taste, but a dry cig like flavour rounded off with a bit of coconut. I mixed with 80PG/20VG. For 10mls (all Flavourart flavours) 3 drops Perique Black (1%) 3 drops Cowboy Blend (1%) 9...

    Removing CE2 from MAP tank?

    Has anyone got any tips for easily removing the CE2 from inside a map tank? I have done it by screwing it to an old broken mod and trying to pull it out by "wiggling and pulling" but it was a real struggle and wouldn't move at all (I was putting quite a lot of force into it). I don't have a...

    Vanilla Blueberry Ripple

    Just a very simple recipe but I thought it worked well. To me, tastes like vanilla ice cream with blueberry running through it. Adjust to taste and preferred VG/PG percentage if necessary. EDIT Damn forum resizing image to make it unreadable. Overall percentages I used were FA Vanilla...

    E-cig Story In Daily Mail (UK)

    I haven't seen this one listed, so here you go - E-cigarette face ban over unregulated quit-smoking device | Mail Online I see Elaine Keller quoted extensively ;) Quite a balanced article IMO (for the mainstream press anyway).

    "BDL" IMR Batteries

    Does anyone have any experience of these, or any links to testing of these LiMn batteries? They are pretty cheap, retailing around the same as the *****Fire batteries in the UK. I have a few in 14500 and 18650 size. The 600mah 14500's, in my usage, seem to be really working well, and have...
