    Just got my e-cigs!

    Jasby, The faster you cut out on tobacco the better. Why should you feel goofy using an e-cig? Once you tell your friends that you've found an alternative that gives you safer hits you might get a few new converts or even start an anti-tobacco rebellion! I've only been e-vaping a couple of...

    sweet taste - liquid back leak. poisonous?

    ayeah Jack-Flash, I'm realising that now and paying more attention to the draw. I was too eager to get more vapour from my mini I may have been overdoing it. Getting much less liquid out the backend now ;)

    Health improvements since switching?

    And I already found out that instead of using my asthma inhaler 3-4 times a day I've only used it 3 times in the whole week. Now THAT is what I call a difference.

    General maintenance/cleaning

    Kate, When you say "it rinses away" do you mean that you just let it evaporate on its own or you do something else like really rinsing the atomiser in some other, cleaner, stuff (ex. water)?

    Another E Cig forum newbie

    lol, I don't yet have any advice to give you, being another noob myself but the people on this forum have already made me feel at home and I'm so glad I am getting rid of burning tobacco. I am reading tons of things about e-vaping like the tests commissioned by Ruyan in New Zealand, toxicology...

    Intro and a problem!

    .....is that probably you wouldn't want the self-cleaning cycle to happen. I think I read somewhere on this forum that as soon as someone detects a cleaning cycle they remove the battery to stop it. I don't know if the circuitry keeps track if the cycle is finished or not. Thing is, 1) it's...

    Logging in/out

    I joined about a week ago and have been logging on every time. However, each time I try to post a reply to a thread I am warned that I am not logged on and have to log on every time again. I DID notice that I cannot post and seem logged off if I open the thread in another ff 3 tab BUT even when...

    How much of a "hit" do you get compared to a real..?

    I stopped smoking tobacco cigs (0.9mg/cig x 10 per day) and switched to 11mg e-vape carts (2 cartridges/day) so (if my maths is right) I'm vaping 22mg/day as opposed to 9mg/day but it never got me 'high' like my morning tobacco cigarette. However, the 0.9mg tobacco 'high' may also be due to...

    sweet taste - liquid back leak. poisonous?

    Thanks for your input Kate, Wikipedia says "40–60 mg (0.5-1.0 mg/kg) can be a lethal dosage for adult humans". I guess I won't ever get near to that dosage so I will stop worrying, unless I find any evidence of "cumulative" nicotine poisoning. I.e. if nicotine remains in the blood stream and is...

    General maintenance/cleaning

    Hi, After my first atomizer seemed to have given up the ghost just after one week ; no smoke with a new battery and cartridge and a burnt taste ; instead of throwing it away I did an experiment. I put a couple of drops of lighter fuel on the mesh covering the atomizer filament and left it to...

    sweet taste - liquid back leak. poisonous?

    Hi all, I am always getting a sweet taste from my (regular, 11mg) cartridges whenever I e-smoke and feel an oily substance on my tongue. This is probably some of the cartridge content being sucked out from the hole at the back of the cartridge. My question is..... Since the liquid is getting...
