    It finally happened - the ignorant bystander

    Tell her she needs to quit smoking, she's smelling it on herself!? or, someone else she's close to!? but, definitely not you. Why would her opinion be more important than yours?

    encounter with a doctor today

    That's the best way to do it Andria. The key words are: Tobacco Harm Reduction. It's not the cigarettes you smoke, but the ones you don't. That's the way it worked for me, it only took me 1 1/2 weeks (2 years ago), but not everyone's the same so we must do what works best for us. I didn't have...

    Nagging Spouse Rant

    Ask him why does he feel like he needs to fix you? Obviously he thinks you're broken... In your mind, do you think the time will ever come when he's happy with you? What else will he want you to change after you give in to his desires about vaping? How long are you willing to wait? I'm sure...

    encounter with a doctor today

    If your records were changed by the nurse, I would call the specialist she works for and ask him/her to educate their staff and to please remove the label of "smoker." It's not your job to teach the nurse, it has to come from the doctor otherwise, she'll continue in her ignorance and go against...

    Welcoming myself back

    It's good to see you again. It's tobacco harm reduction, so even if you choose to smoke cigarettes once in a while, you're still a vaper. I think you're set up for a while and to give it a good second try. Don't limit yourself to low nicotine especially now, get one bottle with a higher...

    my opinion: heavy users are downfall for the rest

    I don't have an opinion one way or another, but looking at the picture, and knowing what you can do with Photoshop or any other similar kind of software, I don't trust the validity of pictures any more. The mere fact that no one around the person supposed to be blowing clouds did not react is...

    How many Cancer stix in Juice?

    Totally agree, it's like comparing apples to oranges. Dr. Farsalinos did a scientific study on how much nicotine is absorbed from vaping compared to smoking. I strongly suggest the OP spend some time in the CASAA website reading and researching the multitude of scientific studies done so far...

    Blood sugar?

    I'm a type 2 diabetic and have been vaping for more than 2 years. Vaping does not affect my blood glucose at all, however, if I eat any amount of carbohydrates, it shots way up. If you're a vendor, you can't argue with someone if they want to return something they've bought from you without...

    Bates turns the discussion - What are the risks of banning, over-regulating & lying?

    Thank you for posting this Scott! I posted it on my FB page, it is so refreshing to know that there are politicians somewhere on this earth that are not afraid to show their common sense. Too bad we don't have a Clive Bates here in the USA.

    odd question... Are there Carbs in vaping?

    I'm a type 2 diabetic and vaping does not affect my sugar levels whatsoever. I was able to bring down my A1C from 12 to 5.7 in 6 months solely on cutting out ALL carbohydrates in my food, I do not take insulin, metformin, nor any statin drugs. The sweeteners used in eliquids do not have any...

    Gave up vaping sadly..

    All of the advice above. My 2 cents is: It's easy to flush O rings down the drain when I'm rinsing the tanks for a new coil and flavor, so make sure this isn't the case with yours. Also, for beginning vapers, my advice is to go with simple and easy fill and vape Evod clearomizers. They're...

    How Long Did It Take You To Totally Quit "Those"?

    It took 1 1/2 weeks after starting to vape to completely get off cigarettes. I forgot to smoke my allotted cigarette that day and when I slit up, I gagged and almost threw up. That was more than 2 years ago.

    Vaping snobs?

    Their behavior is no way winning smokers who may want to vape. It's giving the rest of us a bad name... it may turn those smokers toward supporting the ANTZ and the taxing and the vaping bans... There, I've said it. Some humans have an innate need to feel superior by looking down on other...

    Things I learned on Twitter... Kids, Parents and Anti-Vaping.

    When my oldest son was a teenager and I would tell him "I don't want you to..." he would reply "How does it feel to want or not want..." He's now 47 and he turned out a great man, husband, father and son.

    Not fair guys , We want Women vapers too !

    Oh Tinkie I had to laugh at your post. I'm 65 years old and were a widow for 20 years and I have been divorced from Mr. Wonderful now for more than 15 years. Needless to say, I had to learn to be self sufficient when it came to fixing up, installing computers, etc.

    Not fair guys , We want Women vapers too !

    Is it outright illegal to vape in Israel? If it isn't and you don't have to hide it from the authorities how about starting a group of vapers who meet once a week/month just to exchange ideas/thoughts on vaping? Make sure you meet in a place that is not intimidating for women to attend and even...

    My daughter just bought a toothbrush holder at Target, the thinner eGo style batteries fit just fine. It holds up to 4.

    Harder to draw

    For the coil that has the discolored wick, run it under hot water even through the chimney and then do a dry burn. Youtube has slews of videos showing you how. Coils last anywhere from 1 to 4 weeks depending on the color of the liquid you vape. Dry burning it will extend the wick's usage...

    Vaping vs oral fixation

    Don't worry about what other people say, you'll find it a wiser choice as you get older. My daughter has a weight problem and it has always been so hard for her to lose weight and when she does, she gains it right back because she had deprived herself and then gives up. Her downfall is...
