    Man's home raided/possession of Nicotine

    this guy owns a retail shop, but they raided his home? his home? on a warrant for nicotine? I mean, seriously, a warrant for nicotine - in his home? people are paying way too many tax dollars - and look how it's being spent!

    Vegetable Glycerin Warning!

    from what I read at medicine net, ALT and AST levels don't seem to be definitive reflectors of liver functioning. They are better indicators that the liver is fighting some sort of viral infection such as Hep C to reacting to anything from ingestion (toxicity) of narcotics, barbituates...

    Am I being unreasonable about steeping

    Exactly. In the real world, who's going to hand someone a shiny new device, a shiny new atomizer, shiny batteries and shiny charger, and then tell them, thanks for shopping and, oh, btw, you can't use any of this for three weeks while your eliquid 'steeps.' Have fun quitting smoking. It takes...

    problem with istick 50w

    do you think it could be something as simple (and dangerous) as the batts divorcing? I really don't like devices where I can't remove batteries. Gives me the heebie-jeebies. I don't know a lot about the istick but when I start reading about a high failure rate in a device, it perks my...

    problem with istick 50w

    42watts x 0.2ohm = 2.89volts and 14.5 amps seems sorta within limits are you in voltage locked mode? (up/down buttons pressed same time) did you try a 0.5ohm coil? how many times have you recharged the device? tell us more. just to add something, according to what I just read over at...

    The Hangsen Thread

    Thanks, Eddie. Hangsen uses 'American-made' flavorings in their concentrates, so I'd assume the alcohol is from that. But there wouldn't be much in 1ml of concentrate that's a solution of PG/Vg and alcohol. And wouldn't that mostly just evaporate off as you dripped the liquid into a tank? If...

    Nicotine Comparisons

    Maybe I can help clear up some confusion about American-cultivated/produced nicotine. Here's two: A venture of Kentucky Nicotine LLC (a Kentucky tobacco farmer by the name of Furnish) and National Nicotine LLC, USALiquidNicotine has been wholesaling nicotine from tobaccos cultivated in the...

    The Hangsen Thread

    I don't think a lot of air is a good idea either. I'm thinking about how tightly capped perfumes are kept - to keep the top notes from drifting away with the alcohol and leaving only the base notes. So I'm not quite understanding why it would be a good idea to introduce a lot of oxygen to flavor...

    New vapor. Need advice for vaping.

    I think it's best to stay 30w or under, and go with a single removable-battery device until you're more familiar with what you really want in a device. Buying in bulk before researching carefully isn't recommended. What if you don't like the taste of Chinese nic? Then you're stuck with...

    What is the best eliquid flavor for ex-cigarette-smoker?

    Desert Ship aka Camel is a good ashtray-ish tobacco without any obvious nut or fruitiness. Marlboro, USA Red, MBoro, Cowboy, etc - a bit weaker than Desert Ship - more light cigalike. (USA Red Light isn't a lite cig, it's a menthol, so watch the descriptions) Mild Blend aka Mild 7 - as a...

    first try at tea extraction looking for the alkaloids, tips??

    hmm...you're concentrating oxalate, so I'm not sure if you want to inhale that on a regular basis? maybe better to buy some black tea flavored eliquid or concentrated flavoring instead. No tea, just a flavor molecule that tastes like tea. And no oxalates.
