    Safe sweetener and brand of flavors

    That's Wizard Labs standard warning text and many flavors that don't have it is probably because they don't know. For the best available info, look up the manufacturers directly. Capella has the info about their versions. Flavor West has info. TFA has analysis of most of their flavors, but as a...

    Why I Never Get Any Satisfaction Out of Vape

    The only willpower I used was to buy vape stuff. I started vaping and cut down some but dual used for 9 months. I realized I couldn't see how it would eventually make me smoke-free but I believed. It is easier to change how you think gradually. Vaping is chemically less satisfying, but I like it...

    Can't get the hang of it.

    "vape smells like burnt rope/hair" -- don't use it except to fix. You may even need clean and air out stunk up components. Sounds like a damaged coil. Try another, preferably with priming and letting it sit (completely off) and then primer puffs (still off). With any device, you will need to...

    Why are standard tobacco flavorings so incredibly weak and sucky?

    On the other hand, extracts are made or diluted with a solution of antimicrobial PG, and vaporized at high heat with particulates left behind. I'd be worried more about dust and fibers of plastic than substances brought to mind as "unsanitary". Not sure what you meant.

    E-LIQUID MADE FROM TOBACCO... TAR CONTENT?

    The closest thing to tar with vaping we call "gunk" because it ends up on the coil not in your lungs. It is still not the result of combustion. Depending on how well they are filtered, tobacco and other extracts may leave more gunk than other flavors, but so do more strongly flavored synthetics...

    Delay the FDA, Citizen Petition on Regulations.gov, what's the deal?

    The problem with this petition is the deeming, in anything close to its present form, is completely unacceptable whether its a year from now or 100. This seems to support the deeming.

    Rebuild of Melo3 TC Ni/Ti not working properly (iStick Pico 75W)

    I get an issue sometimes with my Pico that there will be a lack of connection that normally the voltage would burn through the oxide or whatever preventing contact but instead the mod thinks it's hot and protects (although in wattage mode this would sometimes cause excessive voltage and hit)...

    Sounds fake to me

    I said smoke not vapor. On purely selfish motivations even, it's a good thing.

    Sounds fake to me

    Sounds like a lot of businesses' Facebook page. Every weird complaint... What non-smokers and non-vapers should realize is vaping results in less secondhand smoke.

    Is vaping sticky?

    I know that every poll and questionnaire on vaping or smoking I've seen doesn't properly ask about dual use. OK you dual use, how many packs a day? .01 isn't an option either, multiple choice. It is a great question though, I've known a few smokers that mess around with ecigs but it doesn't...

    Flavour concentrate - without artificial flavourings?

    Natural flavorings are known to be more problematic, extracting them often results in undesirable stuff coming out with it. They also tend to be less concentrated. Also just because a flavor is "natural" doesn't mean it comes from what flavor it is, for example raspberry flavor is made from...

    Can I Take 3 Nicotine Gum An Hour?

    I'd say going gradual off smokes would be better than excess nicotine gum. Especially if you can realize a single cig (or less) can have a big effect which can last a while. People vary, but I never went into a "fail mode" of smoking more again (short version anyway), I just took my time. In my...

    Why are standard tobacco flavorings so incredibly weak and sucky?

    I don't understand your problem, I'm not aware of any change in the tobacco ejuice or flavoring scene. Not that I've bought much lately, but it still seems likely you're seeing an isolated case. Specifics would be needed to even know what you're talking about. Small changes in flavorings is not...

    Am i addicted to vaping, or vaping as a hobby?

    You're not putting any chemicals with a known addictive or pleasurable effect; there can be some random effect from what you are consuming but primarily temporary oxygen deprivation. If you have ever consumed nicotine there can still be some mental association between vaping without it and with...

    NEED HELP WITH ISTICK 40W TC BOX

    The power circuits are far more likely to fail than the brains and display. Or the battery, but if the display is staying on and bright during attempts, it's not that. But how do you know the battery charges if you can't do anything that should run it down? If it's going down anyway (within less...

    Plz help, new vaporizer making us cough

    That ejuice could be diluted with vegetable glycerin, since it's high PG, nic and flavor level. It would take 1 parts ejuice, 3 parts VG to get it down to 6 mg though, which would take it up to about 80% VG and only 1/4th the flavor.

    Plz help, new vaporizer making us cough

    Searched for the Subvod and immediately saw "We strongly suggest 6mg eLiquid or lower with this atomizer." Kanger SUBVOD-C Starter Kit Yeah djs, I would vape 24 mg at 5 watts too if I even wanted that much nicotine, and wanted to go unflavored, even then it's intense! Also, while I have no...

    Proof e-cigs are safe

    As long as it's clear you're telling her that only, not us, that's fine. See my edit also. Not only is she wrong, she should be angry at this rep for lying to her.

    Proof e-cigs are safe

    Wild tobacco is deadly strong and suitable only for shamans. The first smokers in England were often called "dry drunks". Only by breeding out the nicotine level was smoking made suitable for the masses. According to a history of tobacco use I saw, e-cigs are only the latest step in civilizing...

    Anyone else accidentally give up drinking?!

    Yes. When I started smoking. Just as well as they definitely don't go together, the only thing worse than a cig and beer is a cig and coffee.
