    Electronic cigarettes as a harm reduction strategy for tobacco control: A step forward or a repeat of past mistakes?

    That was excellent, I've saved it. How the FDA et al could justify banning or regulating e-cigarettes and e-juices when cigarettes and other tobacco products are legal and widely available seems impossible. But then logic isn't a hallmark of every federal decision...

    Pay Pal Friendly Sites

    Nope, not a cent. It's the business debit card, and I don't get add-on charges anywhere to buy, or to make transfers, except for using a pay-ATM and a couple of times when I've been paid for something with a non-PayPal credit card. If it makes a difference, mine is tied to my bank savings account.

    Pay Pal Friendly Sites

    Ditto on the PayPal debit card - I've had one for years and it's very, very handy! In fact it's what I've paid for all my vaping supplies with so far.

    Updated "are you in my area," thread

    I'm just north of Flint (Mt Morris Twp/Beecher 48505) and we are due for another trip to the zoo! I've done a couple of painting jobs down in RO and been to that lovely old theater downtown.

    Krave 500v Disposables

    I started out with "Tornado" brand disposable e-cigs for $6.99. As a starter they were adequate to keep cravings for a smoke for a few hours, but in the long run weak and expensive. Once I got a "real" kit (KGO) I tried one of the disposables I still had lying around and it was like sucking...

    Ugh

    I'm so sorry for your loss...losing my dad was one of the hardest things. (((hug))) It hurts less as time passes, honestly it does. Don't be hard on yourself...I've been vaping for a month and still smoke a few cigs a day and I'm OK with that for now because I've cut down from about 50 smokes...

    Question about my new KGO

    :D Go for it! I've also bought two KGO kits and followed the 8-hour charging instructions on one battery but not the others (after reading here) and can't tell the difference.

    I just received my KGO from hoosierecig.com

    I liked my first one so much (from Hoosier) that I just ordered a second kit from him on Tuesday and got it yesterday (Thursday.) w00t. :D

    Lanyard or simiilar for a KGO?

    How long do you vape or how much do you vape?

    Yes. :D I don't vape like I smoke, I take hits off it throughout the day.

    i just got the mistic e-cig (traditional flavor)

    I've always found that if I'm smoking cigarettes I don't like much, I tend to chainsmoke because they don't satisfy me at all. I imagine it's the same with vaping.

    Advice please from an established user

    Welcome! Once you have five posts you can post in other forums, there's one for folks in the UK and you'll find more location-specific suggestions there I imagine. There's a TON of information here, it can be overwhelming at first but just do lots of reading to get an idea for what might...

    i just got the mistic e-cig (traditional flavor)

    Spend your time looking around a site like these...or others in the suppliers tab above... Ms T's Bakery Essentials Backwoods Brew Many here started out with the weak cigarette-type e-cigs, become dissatisfied and graduated to a PV that you can fill with juices in just about any flavor and...

    KGO/eGo ?

    I think the KGO also has a slightly larger battery.

    Long time smoker

    Welcome! I smoked the equivalent of 2 1/2 PAD for 34 years and nothing worked to get me to quit. It's been a month and I'm down to just a few cigarettes a day, which is huge for me and I see it as MAJOR harm reduction, so I'm not hard on myself about it. I don't think you should be hard on...

    Arg, I have my first ecg kit (ego t) but I'm dissapointed, confused and have so many questions...

    Great answers above...there is a little bit of a learning curve and experimentation as a rite of passage but I guarantee that when you settle on what works for you, you'll love it! I certainly spent the first few days with my PV fumbling around and going "meh." Ditto on the steeping - I...
