    901 manual batteries

    Hey all, anyone here using the 901 manual batteries? If so, how do you like them? How do they compare to the 901 automatics? Margaret

    WECT6 Lifewatch: E-Cigarettes

    Yep, it's more about demonizing nicotine and it's users than health or harm reduction. But you know at least as long as the "holier than thou" crowd have nicotine users to discriminate against and vilify they are more likely to leave the fat kids alone (or whoever they would turn their...

    This month's New Scientist article.

    Ok...so I'm hijacking my own thread..... Big thanks Leaford on finding those links. Dr. Phillips is now at U of Alberta as a professor of public health according to this CBC article. http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2009/01/06/f-rfa-durham.html He seems to be all about the harm reduction and...

    This month's New Scientist article.

    I think he mostly got in trouble for taking a stand that all science pointing out the dangers of smoking has to be done properly and accurately but often isn't. Particularly the claim that 30 minutes exposure to second hand smoke puts a non-smoker at the same risk for heart attack as a full...

    This month's New Scientist article.

    From this month's New Scientist magazine.... Have The Tobacco Police Gone Too Far? It illustrates what we are up against. Scientists who dare to question the dubious and extreme claims made by militant non-smoker groups face serious professional repercussions. Margaret Have the tobacco...

    Retailers Ordered to Pull E-Cigs Off Shelves in Canada

    I've always thought that Health Canada was the pinnacle of corruption in the Canadian Government. Anyone remember how long it took with so many missed deadlines to release the newest Canada Food Guidelines? Basically it took forever for all the "stakeholders" (those with vested interest in...

    What is the best des901 out there?

    I ordered a couple of 901 kits from Chad at The electronic cigarette super store!!! : Home I can't say enough good about the service, communication was fantastic. I'm in Canada so the delivery was a bit slow (customs, USPS then CanadaPost) but it got shipped out the day I placed my order. I...

    PG and eating low carb?

    booboo, you might actually be gaining weight because you aren't eating enough. It can happen. Whatever your WOE, you should try to eat small amounts of food throughout the day and make sure you are eating enough. Eating very small amounts of food and relatively few calories can start weight...

    Senator/Canadian Government, might be right

    Don't mean to hijack the tread but imagination got the better of me. Just be careful when your Nanny Exemption comes through for you. You will still have to follow many silly nanny state rules or they will revoke your exemption. Learn from my sad tale. When my exemption finally came through...

    Health Canada and new legislation

    You are soooo very right Waywardsister. I'd kind of taken SmokeStack's post as sarcasm/humour though.... A lot of people seem to feel that HC's focus with this new legislation is to control or rein in the natural health industry, certainly those are some of the folks who would stand to lose...

    Health Canada and new legislation

    Ok, so I'm not normally a political person. In the course of doing some reading about the recent ban in Canada I came across some interesting things. Apparently Health Canada is about to be given some teeth. At the bottom of the pasted message below there is a link to a petition you can...

    Very bad news from Health Canada

    Although the *sale* of these products is prohibited, I wonder what about trading? I've got lots of stuff I'd trade for other products....while paying handsomely for shipping and handling........

    Smokesmart.ca

    My sister in TO ordered a kit and carts from them. Had her order in less than 48 hours. It's her first dabble into vaping, so she really has nothing to compare it too. She said she doesn't like the taste of the vapour but I didn't really care for it the first day or two either. I came to...

    Canadians ordering from China

    Misty, what companies have you ordered from? Greg, what's lobeline, or do I want to know? ;) I'm back in love with my addiction and right now am content to not try to break it. Nuck, why unflavoured? What would you use for flavouring? Do you just not want to be stuck with too much of a...
