    FDA to host Modified Risk Tobacco Product workshop in DC Aug 25/26, free registration still being accepted

    I watched all the speeches today. So interesting. Bill, such a pity you ran out of time and they wouldn't let you finish. Crazy, considering they were running way ahead of time. Elaine, your speech was absolutely brilliant. If that doesn't get the message through to the ANTZ then nothing...

    Very Long Wait

    Thanks to AltSmoke reshipping my SB by EMS, I'm tracking my package, and it's arrived in China! Yes! I'm so happy and maybe I will have it my hand any day now.

    I have quit vaping

    Thank you. You are right about analogs. I hate them. I just hope I get my snus ASAP. Customs have stated they will release it to me after appropriate scientific testing. God save me. As far as the tests on me, the doctors did blood tests and an x-ray and asked a lot of questions and...

    I have quit vaping

    You could be right. The truth of the matter is that nobody knows. If I ever get my snus I will use that exclusively, then try vaping again about a month later and see what happens.

    I have quit vaping

    All of the doctors I saw were smokers, and they offered no opinion about returning to analogs. But, thanks for your question.

    I have quit vaping

    It's really not so strange to return to smoking if that's the only way I can get a hit of nic (which I need). I was totally in love with vaping and I sure as hell didn't want to start smoking again. Yes, the doctors knew I was vaping. They had no opinion on that. I was treated mostly with...

    I have quit vaping

    I tried all different kinds of juice etc. The strangest part is that I vaped happily for about 8 months before developing any problems. Hopefully smoking will only have to be a temporary measure because I have a large order of snus on the way. I would be using it now if only China Customs...

    I have quit vaping

    I never thought I would say this, but after about 7 weeks of unbearable coughing while vaping, I have started smoking again. Four different doctors and a ton of medication did nothing to help, so I really had no choice. Two days of not vaping and I'm coughing much less. It feels really...

    Snus and China Customs

    Thanks for the replies. It seems a customs broker is what I need. I will look into that. I don't work for a foreign company but I know some local people who could help me find a broker.

    Northener Ripped Me Off

    Thanks for the replies. It most likely got lost in the mail. I've been in touch with Northener but no reply yet.

    Snus and China Customs

    This is not a good day for me! China customs have apparently never seen Snus. My first ever order arrived in China a few days ago, but customs won't let me have it until they "test" it. They probably suspect it's something else. I did a little research before ordering and at least one other...

    found this little gem on my AOL news popup

    I really just want to thank most of the writers on this thread. I've been having an awful day, so it's just lovely to hear some truth and reason in an otherwise insane world. Special thanks to Elaine and Kristin. I honestly think I would go insane without my (online) family. I'm serious, I...

    2 months on Monday!

    Congratulations. I went through that coughing up gunk phase. Revolting but worth it. Just like most of us here, I'm sure you will never have any desire to go back to the stinky analogs.

    Ego booster

    The place that you saw the eGo booster. That's the place to write it. Only that place would know when it will be back in stock.

    ECF haters

    There was a poster on New Members forum about 2-3 weeks ago. He had some bizarre things to say about nicotine. This could be the same idiot. And no doubt he's still peeved he was kicked off ECF. Sorry, I don't remember his user name and all the threads he started were deleted.

    Hello everyone! (A bit of advice needed!)

    I don't understand why you are subjecting yourself to nicotine withdrawal. It seems so pointless.

    Can i use the ecig on airplane??

    For situations like that, use snus. Totally discreet. No need to sneak or hide. Nobody even knows you are using it.

    Very Long Wait

    Hi Rob, Tyler, anyone at AltSmoke. I'm only posting this here because I'm not getting any reply through the ticket thing. And I tried to PM Rob but it failed. I was told you will send my order again but I would have to pay for EMS shipping. As I already told Tyler (twice), the cost of...

    URGENT Call to Action, Calhoun, Mississippi

    It would not make the slightest difference what we called them. The anti-everything brigade have decided they are evil and we could call e-cigs anti-smoke machines but they would still hate them (and us). This has been discussed SO many times. Your comment is good, but, a name change is...

    URGENT Call to Action, Calhoun, Mississippi

    The whole point of smoke-free places was to protect people from second-hand "smoke". If PV's produce no "smoke", what possible reason would there be for including them in the smoking bans? Sure, a business owner can choose to ban anything on their premises, but it's a totally different thing...
