    Health Canada / REAL Tobacco safer/ E-CIGS are Smokeless Tobacco, Toxic, side effects.. Proof please?

    NanoVapor...the nicotine in e-juice is explicitly exempt from Schedule F, according to Schedule F itself. The exempted (i.e. allowed) forms of nicotine include: (d) in a form to be administered orally by means of an inhalation device delivering 4 mg or less of nicotine per dosage unit...

    Health Canada / REAL Tobacco safer/ E-CIGS are Smokeless Tobacco, Toxic, side effects.. Proof please?

    Thank you CanadianMetalHead! That has to be one of the all-time stupidest quotes from a HC rep in the history of Canada, hahaha! Anyway, this is very useful because it also coincides with a request we need to make of everyone here who has had contact with HC, or is willing to make contact...

    My personal take on LR vaping...

    I've had a few standard-resistance Boge cartos (3.1 ohms) suddenly drop in resistance, after several days of heavy use. Only noticed it the first time, because that morning I had refilled the carto, took a puff & was like, um...why does this taste like harsh burning? Checked the resistance...

    Is Big Tobacco Getting Into the ecig Business?

    Agreed on the juice. As to the PV...not necessary hon. Check these folks out: cigskinz.com ecig-skins.com ecigskinmods.com ecigart.com There are just a few examples. Zazzle might be another possibility. There are other sites like these...and most of them offer to make custom-designed...

    Is Big Tobacco Getting Into the ecig Business?

    I would never trust any e-cig or e-juice put out there by BT. They have millions for PR; but their very identity quite rightly toxifies the marketability of whatever they might think up. It's not gonna happen. Consider the following: --- E-juice is as simple & generic a thing as it can be...

    B.S. At Borden: Just Came Across This (May 2011)

    Um, dk2...you're joking, right?? :blink: --- Not Iris: I don't think the government is ever going to sin-tax vaping. Normal HST tax, sure - we have that on most things already. But a punitive sin-tax, like on booze & smoking? No. Why? Consider: if they actually thought that there was...

    B.S. At Borden: Just Came Across This (May 2011)

    Hey everyone. Just came across this piece by sheer chance - it's on a government website, and it's brand-new, dated May 2011. D Safe G - Safety Digest - May/2011 - Electronic Cigarettes That's right - the CFB's Camp Borden (a Canadian military base here in Ontario) will now tell our...

    What website to order silver bullet or suggestions for something better?

    Hey dman87. Apologies for the delayed reply. We've had the ProVari since for 2 months now...absolutely no problems. At the time when we ordered, it was a 4 week wait before it would be sent out; people were ordering them like crazy, so the backorders were piling up. It's to ProVape's credit...

    What website to order silver bullet or suggestions for something better?

    Hi dman87! If you want to get the Silver Bullet, Electronic-Cigz has them here in Canada. They even have a neato-looking thingie that lets you have two attys or cartos plugged into a Silver Bullet at the same time! Certainly unusual. Hmm, it says that thing is sold out, but still...neat...

    I tried, I really did

    Aww...Mudder, you did your best hon. The old saying is true: you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink it. They have to want it. Sad truth is that some people are just not ready, for whatever reason. My dad's fiancee was exactly the same way during last x-mas. She...

    Potential Canada Post Strike????

    I'm going to side with the postal workers in this. Canada Post continues to earn record profits. In fact, for more than 15 years in a row they have never lost money; in all that time, they've continuously made a profit. In 2010, their profits were almost $300 million. Yet instead of sharing...

    buying mods

    Welcome xvii! IOWN is right - there's a lot to choose from out there, and everyone's tastes are different. One person's neato feature - like even something as simple as the shape - is another person's annoying feature, lol. Personally, we started vaping with automatic 510's. Eventually...

    DIY Supplys in Canada

    Danesnpits honey...you know I'm your friend, & that I totally respect you. But I don't accept that our Canadian suppliers are "making a massive profit for our misfortune." The United States has ten times the population of Canada - so it makes sense that there'd be ten times the number of...

    Denied Life Insurance as a non-smoker (1 year plus vapist)

    Actually polsmoka, we definitely do know this now! It's been scientifically, clinically proven now that it is many thousands of times safer than tobacco smoke. No one can ever truly prove that vaping is absolutely 100% safe, no matter how many centuries pass - but then, no one is even making...

    Denied Life Insurance as a non-smoker (1 year plus vapist)

    Aww...Lola69, sorry that happened to you...it stinks. For all those people know, the nicotine in your system could just as easily have come from your being a longtime non-smoker who still uses the patch, or gums, or other NRT products. Your recreational use of nicotine via vaping does not...

    Info from my pharmacist I thought I would share

    Hi earthpig. I doubt that the guy in question ever mixed flavourings containing non-volatile oils into his e-juices; he would've seen the oils floating on top, refusing to mix no matter how hard he shook it, no matter how long he let it steep - and the burning of the non-volatile oils would...

    Info from my pharmacist I thought I would share

    Just to clarify on the 'oils' issue: PG, VG & triacetin are all volatile, water-soluble liquids. Volatile liquids or volatile oils will evaporate rapidly, so they won't stay in you. They don't have any problem evaporating or vapourizing easily. They will not leave any oily or non-volatile...

    I have found out the reason why all the suppliers are closing up shop

    It's ok hon...I felt exactly the same after writing about Rae. Took some time to relax & play with the babies...which is fun & sweet. Before long I felt better.

    I have found out the reason why all the suppliers are closing up shop

    Thanks for your post, ElProximo. One of the key problems with MP's (as we see it) is that too many of them view a winning vote as a rubber-stamp approval to ignore the people in their riding & pursue their own narrow agenda. After all, once they win there isn't anything that legally...

    Bug repellant no more!

    Muskol is the stuff you need, hon. It's Canadian, & it works very well. Just one of those little spray bottles will do you fine. This may sound odd, but we love the smell of it. Brings back good memories. As does the classic image of the Muskol guy (there's a newer portrait now on some of the...
