    What was YOUR reason for getting E-Cigs?

    My fiance (girlfriend at the time) nagged me into quitting cigarettes a few years ago. Well, "nag" isn't quite right... withheld sex and said that she would leave if I kept smoking. So I quit. Naturally, I was somewhat resentful about it and missed smoking a lot (since I didn't quit for me I...

    Smoking Everywhere V. FDA Daily Docket Sheet Update--APPEAL's COURT ISSUES STAY

    So am I wrong in thinking that at this point, barring the judge ruling that PVs don't need FDA approval, that the FDA needs to hold the PV to the same standards as any other product they would be reviewing for approval, and can't use the new law as leverage to not approve it? If they tried...

    Smoking Everywhere V. FDA Daily Docket Sheet Update--APPEAL's COURT ISSUES STAY

    So the FDA just officially declared that the e-cigarette does not fall under the new law? To them it still falls under their old jurisdiction? At least now they can't try to use the new law to institute an out-right ban. They're back to the old "it's unapproved, get it approved" stance...

    2.5 days. vapor production now 0!?!?

    I've never heard of anyone doing it, but I guess as long as it doesn't expand and overflow out of the cart it should be fine... try it out, see if it works for you. A lot of this is trial and error.

    Need Tech Info on the Atty

    If it's just dirty and full of junk, then flushing it with water/alcohol or boiling or etc can be done. If it's a broken coil, it's pretty much done. I don't know whether a coil could be replaced. Someone in the modder's forum should be able to tell you that.

    2.5 days. vapor production now 0!?!?

    I still think it's the cart... the atomizer isn't sucking the liquid out of the new cart for some reason. I would play with it a bit, do what Elendil said about dripping, and hopefully you'll get some action. If you don't have extra liquid, try taking the polyfill out of an old cart and...

    Need Tech Info on the Atty

    The way that I understand it (and there are plenty of people here that probably know better) it's similar to a light bulb. You have a positive contact and a negative contact, and in between is a coil of (insert type of wire here). When electricity runs through the coil from negative to positive...

    2.5 days. vapor production now 0!?!?

    you say that you just popped a fresh cart on... try using a different cart. we've found that if the polyfill gets pushed down the liquid won't be drawn into the atomizer and you'll get a whole lot of nothing. if a new cart works just fine, try popping the filler out of the cart and...

    E-cig advertising

    I think the no-second-hand is a good way to go, but don't you think that one would have to be careful of showing the setting? There is already some trouble with the "use it anywhere smoking isn't allowed!!" approach, so I would think that that would want to be avoided.

    Brazilian Customs trouble... Ruyan Direct/Heaven Gifts

    heh, love to help you out, but i wasn't thinking something so direct. a club could start a fund, review the case, help out ONCE. but more trustworthy than just sending money to some dude. not that you're not a fine dude, i'm sure. :-D

    Brazilian Customs trouble... Ruyan Direct/Heaven Gifts

    hate to be the bleeding heart in the group, but any way a vaper's club could start a collection so that anyone who DOES face customs charges could have it taken care of? a ONE TIME only thing? i'm not sure that i've heard of anyone other than these two who've have taxation problems... is this a...

    how do we write to this judge???

    ...which is a GOOD thing (also see: supreme court justice for life). As far as the no-nic thing goes, I'm not sure that it's as strong an argument as you'd like it to be. The issue centers around its "intended use". Most people (including the manufacturers) will agree that its "intended use"...

    How do you deal with people like this....

    Two weeks tomorrow morning for me, and I've already gotten "but you're still smoking" from someone at work. The message about smoking in people's minds seems to have gone from "quit because it's unhealthy" to "quit because it's an addiction", and possibly just to "quit because it's BAD!!!" Some...

    Anyone's BP go UP????

    I've been more or less keeping track of mine since I started vaporing a week ago (today!). Normal for me is around 95/65, Saturday I was up to 110/70 (give or take). HR has stayed about the same (right around 70). Of course, I could stand to go up a bit... I'm terribly underweight and have...

    Dead Atomiser?...Maybe not

    Just had an atomizer "die". It's an M401 from RD, atomizer has been used pretty much exclusively for 5 days. I switched batteries and carts, and still no vapor. I can get the atty to heat up to the point that it's glowing red, but still nothing. This makes no sense to me. I'm going to try an...

    Can someone please review blu after 2 weeks of use?

    Well, gotta say... Had the Blu for less than a week... one cart lasted my fiance 4 days... she's not AT ALL a heavy smoker or anything, but that's still pretty impressive, i think. I'll update when we've used it more (using our 401s at the same time).

    Vaping at work

    I work in a drug store. Everyone I've told about my PV so far has been very supportive, but I still go outside to use it on the off-chance that I might offend someone. I really don't need someone to make an anonymous call to the corporate line and make a big deal out of it. That said, I've...

    i dont know if im allowed to ask

    I got my hardware from RD. Shipped Monday, arrived Saturday. So far, everything's in good condition, working properly, etc. Good stuff. Shipping's a bit of a ....., but if you order enough, it's worth it, in my opinion.
