    Vaping as bulimia relief

    If he involuntarily feels nauseous and vomits when he eats sugars, then it may be something wrong with his digestive system and it could be treatable with medicines. Again, I'm not a medical professional, only his doctors know for sure. But if vaping helps him, I'm all for it.

    Vaping as bulimia relief

    Bulimia is the disease where the person binges on food and then vomits what he just ate. Anorexia is the disease where the person doesn't eat at all. Both are the result of the person who has a psychological problem and is afraid to gain weight and results in the organs in the body to...

    Can someone shed some light on distilled vs demineralized vs deionized water in VG / diy liquid?

    Distilled water is free of minerals. One of its uses is in clothes irons to create the steam. The reason being is that it does not gunk up the works in the iron with the dried minerals that regular water contains. Just do a google on distillation of water and it will explain it.

    Any advice on how to deal with biased health care professionals?

    OP, it sounds like the nurse practitioner skipped a few classes, for sure the ones on endocrinology. The doctor in charge of the office is the one who you should make aware of this problem. It's not your problem but his. His/her office is getting money from your health insurance, or from your...

    EVOD getting hard to vape.

    How long have you been using the same coils? They do have a "life," depending on the viscosity of the liquid, they last a week or two if the liquid is darker. I've found that with menthol flavors or clear colored liquids they can last up to a month with periodical cleaning.

    Weird Heart Issues, juices?

    I had an uncle who more than 50 years ago lifted weights at home. He didn't take additional meds to build his muscles and he had a massive heart attack because he overdid it. It didn't kill him, he died of natural causes decades later. Your body is trying to tell you something and when it comes...

    Carl Phillips: FDA reveals its views on ecigs in new publication

    I understand that Dr. Farsalinos addressed the FDA during a meeting, so they do know where to go to get information in his case. If the task is so daunting for the FDA to make the effort to understand everything there is to know about ecigs, then they should leave them alone until such time (if...

    Getting heart palpitations?

    Are you serious? The majority of people here are not doctors, at most we may be arm chair Dr. Houses. Even if there was to be a real doctor online on these forums, they would certainly not diagnose based on a forum post. Go see your doctor!

    Being the Devil's Advocate Here : If you are vaping with Nicotine juice, you ARE still a "smoker"..

    Lets say you have a cold and your nasal passages are stuffed up. My grandmother (and she learned it from her grandmother, etc) taught me to boil water in a pot, then place the pot of boiling water on the table. Drape a towel over your head and breathe in the vapor from the boiling water for 5 to...

    Vaping in the morning

    I agree with this. It sounds like your "topper" isn't wicking. A few primer puffs before your regular vape will take care of the problem, or change your delivery device.

    Desperate! Please help me!

    Every time you have the urge to smoke a cigarette, force yourself to vape 5 times, then light up right afterwards. Try that for a couple of days and see what happens.

    The word "stinkies"

    I don't see anything wrong with the word cigarettes, after all that is the correct name.

    The Banning of E Juice

    So, lets take this one step further: "The President’s proposal to raise the federal excise tax on tobacco products and use the additional revenue to expand preschool education, which he included in both his fiscal year 2014 and 2015 budgets, could achieve the dual goals of reducing the number...

    Being the Devil's Advocate Here : If you are vaping with Nicotine juice, you ARE still a "smoker"..

    You mean I'm not supposed to pour the straight juice up my nose (inhale the juice)? I also read you shouldn't inject it straight into your heart, it will kill you on the spot.:facepalm:
