    The doctors loved it.

    I spent a couple days in the hospital last month getting my gall bladder removed and had no trouble at all using my e-cig. Then my brother-in-law in Arizona spent a few days in the hospital this month and he used his e-cig without any problems either. Both of us told our doctors,surgeons,etc...

    trying to quit nicotine vs. just trying to quit analogs?

    I started vaping over 4 months ago and have not had a regular cigarette since. I have been gradually reducing my nicotine level. I went from 24mg to 18mg and now I'm down to 11mg. But I love my e-cig and would probably still use it even if I manage to get down to 0 nic.

    What's your favorite cartridge filler?

    Like Karenrcg and TheCleaner I just keep washing mine and re-using them. I have about 15 carts that I have been re-using for 3 months now. About once a week I pull all the used fillers out, put those and the carts in a spaghetti strainer, spray them down really good with hot water, then let them...

    You know you are hooked on vaping when......

    When your neighbor who works for the sheriff's department stops by, and upon seeing several bottles of e-juice and a syringe on your kitchen counter, gives you a very confused look and asks: "What's going on?" (true story)

    You know you are hooked on vaping when......

    You have enough different styles and colors of devices to match all your outfits. Your kid asks: "MOM!! Where can I charge my cell phone?" (because every outlet in the kitchen is already in use charging your batteries)

    customs-clearance of e-liquid

    I had a shipment of 18 kits and some cartridges held up in Customs 4 weeks ago. I finally got a letter from the FDA yesterday telling me that it's been detained. (reason they gave: because it's a "new drug" that has not been approved in the U.S.) The choices I've been given are: I can either...

    Drinking Less Coffee?

    I am drinking way less coffee then I used to. One cup in the morning, and then once in awhile I'll drink a cup in the late afternoon. I used to be a total coffee-holic, drinking several cups a day of both regular coffee and espresso. Now I don't even use my espresso machine anymore...

    Shipments Clearing Customs

    I have a $500 bulk hardware order that's been held up in U.S. Customs since March 21. I have not been contacted by anyone about it. The tracking number still just says that my package is being processed by U.S. Customs. At this point I've pretty much lost hope of ever seeing it. But in...

    IMPORTANT - email from FDA to a supplier.

    What really seems the most ridiculous to me in that FDA letter is the line that says: "And, like the conventional tobacco products, they are intended primarily for the delivery of volatilized chemical substances to affect the body's structures and functions and/or to mitigate or treat the...

    E-smoking could be worse than real cigarettes

    Most of my friends and family who smoked are now using e-cigs and think they are wonderful. However I do have 2 smoker friends who are leery of them. The one guy does not have much interest in quitting and sees the device as some silly novelty item. (well, his wife just got an e-cig yesterday...

    3/23/09 | Senator seeks to halt sales of 'e-cigarettes'

    Here is the letter I sent to Sen. Lautenberg last week: Dear Senator, This is in regards to your proposed ban on electronic cigarettes. Of course I agree that these devices should be put through testing. But in the meantime, unless they are proven to be unsafe, I urge that we be permitted...
