    They can't imprison you, If they are banned!!!!

    Airsoft guns and e-cigarettes are pretty incomparable. Breaking a law doesn't automatically mean you can be arrested or searched, there usually needs to be provision for that in a given law. Have a look at your politicians and corporations for many examples.

    Even if banned wouldn't it still be legal to buy e-cig as personal vaporizer?

    Your supplier is pulling your leg. The EU do not in their wildest dreams regulate e-liquid. The Tobacco Products Directive (2001/33/EC has a hand in tobacco regulation but it doesn't mention nicotine in anything other than cigarettes, which a bottle of liquid is not. Note that EU directives...

    when this new bill passes nic juice is going to be hard to come by

    Two big holes which will allow e-liquid past that clause: 1. Nicotine does not necessarily come from tobacco. Yes, all e-liquid that we have does, but surely it must be proven, and that's pretty hard to do without GC/MS or microscopy. Nicotine is also present in potatoes, for example. 2. The...

    Nicotine vs. Caffeine

    I drink a whole pile of coffee, but I don't think I'm all that addicted to it. Very dependent however, but if I can't get it I don't notice it. A friend of mine though gets headaches if he misses a day with coffee, and can't pee until he drinks it. Where I come from as well, it's not unheard of...

    Nicotine vs. Caffeine

    Nicotine has been extensively studied in isolation. Have a look at pubmed. The fact that we don't need to use increasing doses simply means tolerance hits a plateau. It's still highly addictive, otherwise why would people here be worried about having to go back to analogs? Definitely. The...

    Nicotine vs. Caffeine

    I agree with most of what you have said, but you must account for the facts that: 1. Caffeine is far less addictive than nicotine 2. Caffeine is often consumed in a plant-based drink that many generations of use show does not cause significant harm. 3. Caffeine is relatively non toxic - LD50...

    Contingency Plans for After the Ban Takes Effect

    I haven't posted in months and this is totally OT, but ...... it: Seriously, hookahs are for tobacco. THC won't vapourise very well at the temps produced by hookah coal. Few people successfully use them the way you suggest. Not to mention it ruins a hookah. They sell them in head shops, but...

    Intellicig EVO + Janty KB USB Mod

    Hey, I know this thread is old, but if you're still reading, could you tell me what you did with this? I have a faulty intellicig battery (led broke, plastic ash fell off), a soldering iron and some free time. Is there a resistor in the KB cable or did you connect the +5V to where the positive...

    Solid carts? No more e-liquid?

    It makes sense from a safety point of view, but solid liquids don't exist. It would be interesting if they are using a sublimating material such as dry ice.

    Intellicig EVOlution - The Next Generation.

    Having a bit of trouble getting through by email and calling is not an option atm. Incidentally, info@intellicig.com redirects to jc@intellicig.com, as evidenced by the bounced emails I'm getting, and one contained the following: procmail: Quota exceeded while writing "/var/mail/jc" Normally...

    Australian ban; Egar illegal

    Within the EU at least, there is almost no checks on mail. Within the Schengen area (continental europe) there is absolutely none as far as I know. From HK and the US, a bit more, but as far as I know once the customs form is filled in and on small mail, it's rare. It would cost a European...

    Outrageous New Federal tax on Analogs

    I hate the victimisation of smokers in tax too, but seriously, we're paying €8.50 per pack here, and there's no end in sight. Rolling tobacco is about €8 for a bit under two ounces.

    Are you an underneath depressed person?

    Depression is so bad that every little helps and every new treatment can save lives. As you well know, it causes people to completely kill themselves. Nicotine can be harmful but it has been used for a thousand years in tobacco, whereas depression medications are relatively new and their side...

    Are you an underneath depressed person?

    There's a good deal of science pointing to such a possibility. What makes e-cigarettes and other similiar delivery methods better to those who want to self-medicate and regain dopamine control than pills is that it mimics the self-titration feature that people with schizophrenia find in smoking...

    When your Batteries Fail... The Newest USB

    There's two main issues as far as I can see: Tobacco smoke from the shisha is normally pulled through the downstem and then hangs about in the chamber after being bubbled (because chambers are big and it has more great distance to travel before reaching the end of the hose. This is fine for...
