    Smoke 51 sale

    I don't know if this is the appropriate place to post this (there might be a better forum - mods, please move if I've done wrong). I just got an email from Smoke 51 advertising a 51% off sale. It says to share with my friends and family...so, you're all adopted, or at least those of you who have...

    "Offensive" Odors

    This whole thing is interesting, (and also must be very frustrating for you). I'm the same way your fiance is about perfumey smells, and also a smoker of 30+ years. I can't even go in Bath and Body Works or Pier One. Makes me want to take a scraper to my whole upper respiratory tract...

    Nicotine versus appetite

    If you do a search on weight gain in the "health" forum here, there's a long thread about blood sugar and vaping. Although in theory, the nicotine part of both smoking and vaping should be similar, the PG itself will raise blood sugar as well (according to what I read here). This is a concern...

    A View from Tobacco Land (the Carolinas)

    "I am DSE901 of Borg" Hee hee, yes I know, my husband is the poster boy for stasis and all things status quo. It's just a cryin' shame.

    A View from Tobacco Land (the Carolinas)

    I have had similar thoughts, Bub-n-J. I suppose this FDA thing will drive the whole business into a "black market" situation. The auto industry is finally being forced to start making electrics and hybrids, after years, decades even, of knowing the technology existed - and ignoring it. I...

    Still frustrated and confused because of the use of model numbers

    LOL...I'm a dot overuser too. Always have been. I rather feel the opposite of the OP. I'm a newbie and have spent the last few days spending most of my time reading this forum and the various retailers sites. I'm coming to appreciate most the retailers who DO use the model numbers so that I...

    A Noob intro, a noob mistake

    Thanks for the advice Sascha! I have read about refilling techniques for the disposables and will learn how I imagine. Only two more days till my order arrives. LOL, I think waiting for the battery to charge is going to kill me. I'm planning to make sure the batteries I get actually work...

    A Noob intro, a noob mistake

    Victoria...it's a far west suburb of the Twin Cities. Cute Avatar/user pic...looks like a fun party! Love lordmage's sssmokin' Spock too. Guess I'll have to come up with one for myself. :)

    Liberty Stix new in Ohio

    This appears to be a 2-piece design - like Smoke 51, but they sell separate atomizers in addition to carts and batteries. How does that work?

    KSTP News: What are 'e-cigarettes?'

    I have to admit when I learned (again from my son) that e-cigs come in these fruity flavors, my first thought was 'what? are they marketing these things specifically to children?' I haven't received my order yet, so I can make no judgement on how the flavorings add to the experience - that is...

    KSTP News: What are 'e-cigarettes?'

    I couldn't agree more, but I think it's predictable. Not only does it fly in the face of the underage smoking taboo, but it's a gadget as well, and kids are always early adopters of gadgets. I'm on the geeky side of loving technology, and I know the gadget aspect tickles me pink.

    KSTP News: What are 'e-cigarettes?'

    Yes, I should have mentioned that he's in high school...not second grade! :shock: He also mentioned that it's mostly kids with "a lot of money" that have them. Even if e-cigs do save money in the long run it's a largish outlay of cash for start up...not to mention needing access to a credit card.

    KSTP News: What are 'e-cigarettes?'

    I live in the Twin Cities...saw that report on KSTP last night, and ordered up a starter kit this morning. I had never heard of e-cigs before last night. When I mentioned it to my son, he told me a lot of the kids have them at school...even the friend he had over last night has one. Man, am I...

    A Noob intro, a noob mistake

    Hello! Thought I'd make a quick intro while I anxiously await my new e-cig shipment. A local news channel did a story on e-cigs last night and I about peed my pants with excitement. Did some cursory research this morning and ordered a Smoke Fifty-One (which was the brand featured on the news)...
