    Hi from a newbie

    The 510 is so-so for beginners. Actually I would never really recommend the kit you have at all. It's a very small e-cig which simply doesn't have the power to give enough satisfaction. I use an eGo mega which produces huge amounts of satisfying vapor. Vaping is a learning curve, especially when...

    Hello!

    I agree with Dicot. We speak from experience. If you want an e-cig that really works, the small ones that look like a real cig will simply not do the job. I use an eGo and it produces massive amounts of satisfying vapor. There are many vendors who sell these for reasonable prices. Do some...

    Ban Birthday Cakes!!!

    I agree. And it's worrying that some people may use e-candles on the birthday cake in order to circumvent the birthday cake ban. That's certainly something which should be included in the legislation. No e-birthday cakes.

    Withdraws - helpppp

    What strength juice are you vaping? I started with 18mg and it wasn't enough, so I started using 24mg.

    Ban Birthday Cakes!!!

    We all know the extreme dangers of breathing in smoke, and many would like nothing more than to include e-cigs in the smoking bans. So that raises the question of why health groups are not pushing for a ban on birthday cakes. Particularly in the interests of protecting children from the...

    Hows vaping on the teeth?

    There is nothing but benefit to your teeth. When I smoked my teeth were filthy depite repeated cleaning at the dentist. Six months of vaping and my teeth are still clean. No more disgusting smoke stains.

    Arguments in favor of e-cigs?

    Teeth will stay much cleaner. Smokers usually have filthy stains on their teeth. I got mine cleaned at the dentist 6 months ago and they still look perfectly clean.

    Cartomizers...agh!!! TMI, brain overload!!

    I use cartos and I can't understand why people use a syringe or needle to fill them. I just flick off the mouth piece, remove the donut thing under it and throw them away. Then I drip in about 30 drops of juice and put a drip tip on and vape to my heart's content.

    Anyone still crave the dirty high of analogs?

    No desire to smoke at all. And I can go very long periods of time with no urge to vape.

    To my knowledge, the statement you quoted is accurate.

    My doctor's reaction to my e-cig...

    It's incredible that your doctor can be so wrong. You should certainly give him some information to read. Contact CASAA | The Consumer Advocates for Smoke-Free Alternatives Association

    My doctor's reaction to my e-cig...

    The so-called health groups who continue to strongly condemn e-cigs are probably considered a joke by most doctors. It would be nice if more doctors contacted those lying health groups and told them a few facts.

    Noob with dosage question

    There are so many good e-cigs. I use an ego mega and I'm very happy with it. Small e-cigs simply don't have enough power to produce good vapor. I started with 18mg nic 6 months ago. It wasn't high enough, so I switched to 24mg. I've been vaping that ever since. Welcome to ECF. You will love vaping!

    QLD Health bans nic import - ecig ban confusion

    I would also argue that if Queensland Health continue seizing (stealing) the shipments of e-cigs and liquid nicotine products from Queenland residents, then Queensland Health should be forced to pay for all the future health care of their victims. If the victims of Queensland Health's seizure...

    Do you like or dislike the smell of smoke?

    Thanks for all the replies. I never expected to get so many, so fast. As a high school teacher, I'm in the strange position where I still don't feel comfortable using my e-cig in front of my students. Not at school anyway. But I still see Chinese teachers puffing away on their analogs and...

    E-cigs must be tested, regulated for safety

    I left this reply : What a disappointment when two professors from the health sector write such a nonsensical and false article. They certainly set a shocking example to their students. Clearly honesty and accuracy are concepts they are not familiar with. Ms Hahn and Ms Riker, please...

    E-cigs in NZ News

    However, I'm confused on Dr Laugesan's stance. These days it's hard to know if he's in favor of their continued sale or against them. I honestly don't know what he wants.

    E-cigs in NZ News

    It's a really nice article, but I couldn't see any way of commenting. I want to congratulate the NZ Herald for this positive article.

    E-cigs in NZ News

    You are right Vocalek. Reporters are lazy wherever you go. But maybe their editors are even more lazy.
