    Charging my Batteries 'N Stuff

    Wanted to point out that I'm just someone who's used a variety of low-voltage DC systems for a very long time, and has seen a lot of info on lithium cell failures in the last few years. Not really a battery expert, although you pick up a lot of info over the years. Interested in the way battery...

    Info needed to Counteract doctor info about Oil into Lungs/Miners Disease? Wet Lungs? Japanese study debunked?

    VG is bacteriostatic, which means that it does not support growth of bacteria. It is an alcohol so this may be easier to understand, in that context. However, bacteria may indeed grow in the empty space above the liquid content in a bottle of glycerine or glycerine-based e-liquid, as a result of...

    From Newsweek writer re. BAT Vype e-cigarette

    You can work out what will happen, where, by looking at the pressures. An example: Country: USA Region: California Federal law: Ecigs will be regulated as tobacco products unless they make medical claims. Financial pressures, national: Immense pressure from the smoking economy [1] to ban or...

    Disgusted, WTH is wrong with some suppliers?

    Gonna close this thread because what needs to be said has been said, and if the OP wants to take it further then they can. Also before any fanboys pitch in and start a war :)

    Disgusted, WTH is wrong with some suppliers?

    What you can do is to post this in the Negative Review board here, and name the product/vendor. There is no 'ban' or anything like that on speaking about bad products or bad service - it's just that to keep things fair, the vendor needs to be able to reply, and they are not allowed to do so in...

    The future of E figs ?

    Sorry if I have got this wrong, but Detroit is held up (here) as an example of terrible city management that led to collapse of public services, a wasteland situation in many suburbs, and widespread crime? Appreciate we are a long way away so the info may have got distorted by the time it...

    The future of E figs ?

    Nicotine dependence is caused by smoking (leaving aside the less common dependence in the West due to oral tobacco use). What seems to happen is that the brain is chemically re-wired. This change is persistent though apparently not permanent in most cases. Smokers commonly become dependent on...

    The future of E figs ?

    There are no clinical studies that demonstrate pure nicotine has any potential for dependence. There are multiple studies that demonstrate it is impossible to create nicotine dependence clinically. This means: hundreds of never-smokers have been given large quantities of nicotine daily...

    The future of E figs ?

    Smoking is a license to print money for multiple beneficiaries. These recipients vary by country; for example in the UK, the national government is a greater than 90% stakeholder in cigarette sales, but this does not apply in the USA: the States are the biggest governmental beneficiary, with...

    The future of E figs ?

    It is almost correct to say, "It is absolutely impossible to become dependent on pure nicotine", and the same thing but in a different way: "Pure nicotine has no potential for dependence". The reason this is very close to the truth is that it has been found impossible to demonstrate any...

    Vaping helps protect from strong irritants

    Apart from being junk overall, it's junk in terms of methodology as well. They don't appear to have a control group who inhaled harmless steam (or something similar) to measure against. And then you would also have to compare with the facts: if 10 million people are exposed for 10 years to the...

    Forum issues

    I think what Ret meant is that if you are OK with your grandchildren seeing that content and having it displayed to them with or without their parents present; and if you believe it would be acceptable to show up on a notebook screen belonging to a respectable person in a crowded train with...

    How much nicotine do you use in a day?

    Yeah well Robino, you were probably only getting half that in the vapor, and maybe less. With most cigalikes it would have been less - same for cartos on an eGo (and most likely in a cartotank too). Not that any of it matters because the effect of 100mg on person #37 is the same as 10mg on...

    How much nicotine do you use in a day?

    This is a good way to measure total nicotine delivery (though not consumption / absorption) and I agree with the OP that it is a better measure than simply asking what strength is used - a person using 36mg strength might only consume 2ml a day, and a person using 12mg might use 10ml a day, for...

    Nicotine depletes your body of what..?

    Ah yes of course. Thanks for that ref. I should probably have stated that nicotine consumption is unrelated to smoking in terms of negative effects noted. It's very hard indeed to find any genuine evidence for negative effects of nicotine even with long-term megadose supply. The most...

    Nicotine depletes your body of what..?

    Nicotine is closely related to the B vitamin group, shares many properties with its sister compound nicotinic acid (vitamin B3) with which it is generally co-located, and has a prophylactic effect on and treats certain degenerative, inflammatory and auto- immune diseases and cognitive...
