    How to inform your doctor?

    So by her logic if you're smoking a clove cigarette, or a nicotine free cigarette, you're not really smoking, are you? That would be the logic of insurance companies as well. My lungs could be completely blacked out from tar and combustible by-products, yet as long as there's no nicotine in my...

    Please, don't vape where you can't smoke

    I've tried to explain this to my husband several times. At one point he suggested that instead of getting my fix outside, why not just vape in WalMart, since it's not smoking? I explained I'd much rather NOT get kicked out of WalMart for using my ecig. It's still any businesses right to tell...

    Should E-Liquid manufacturers be pushed to fully label ingredients?

    I think liquid manufacturers should label their ingredients of their own volition. The point of switching to e-cigs is that they're healthier for you, and it would be to the manufacturers credit to show their confidence in their product by listing the ingredients they use and the sources they...

    Over-vaping?

    My husband just pointed out that I might be hyperventilating. I honestly never thought about that before. I always assumed hyperventilating was a temporary state of fast and heavy breathing. As it turns out, it's simply "over breathing", and can result in decreased carbon dioxide in the blood...

    Over-vaping?

    Thanks, that's good to know. Now I can go back to non-stop vaping. I was getting worried there for a second. I always get worried when the heart pain starts up. Me and my hypochondria.:blush:

    Over-vaping?

    To begin, I'm a very heavy vaper, and vape almost non-stop from the time I get home from work to the time I go to bed. As I look at my 10 ML bottle of 16 MG e-liquid, now 1/4 empty (I opened it only last night), I'm inclined to think I'm over-vaping, but how do I know unless I feel...

    E-liquid stores in San Antonio, TX.

    I think it's a mix of both, actually. For example, there's a listing for a place in Dallas that I think is an actual store. Unfortunately, it looks like the place in San Antonio is NOT an actual store.:frown:

    E-liquid stores in San Antonio, TX.

    I'm heading to San Antonio this weekend for a funeral, and my bottles of Volcano e-liquid are getting low. I don't think they'll last the weekend. I would order more, but even if I paid extra for 2 day shipping, I don't think it'll get here in time (is Saturday even a business day?). A...

    Weight Gain??

    I've actually been slowly but surely losing weight since I started, which is strange because I know the PG isn't likely the causing factor, yet I haven't significantly changed my diet and exercise habits.

    Coughing very badly?

    When I fall back into near exclusive analog usage, then go back to vaping, I find myself coughing more than usual for the first day. It's a different substance from smoke, thus my lungs have to re-acquaint themselves with it. Your friend doesn't usually inhale large amounts of smoke, or...

    Stopped smoking...now What your lungs thinks about your new (PV) hobby?

    I've smoked for 2.5 years, or so, and every winter I've gotten a respiratory infection - specifically bronchitis. However, this winter, while I was still smoking, I alternated with vaping a PG liquid. I never once got a respiratory infection. Is it coincidence? Maybe, but I think the PG...

    Very strange problem with my BLU - Please HELP!

    There are times when I experience a similar problem. When it occurs, I take the resevoir out and peel the plastic and foil off so it's fully exposed. After putting the cig back together, point the LED light towards the floor and give the top of the cartridge a few firm taps. This should help...

    On e-liquid

    My Blu cartridges are 'high' strength, and are entirely PG based, whereas Ms. T's is a mix of PG and VG, which explains the vapor output. I considered that nicotine levels might play a part, but I wasn't sure. I'll have to ask my friend if she has any liquid with nic in it so I can test that...

    On e-liquid

    So I'm using the Blu e-cig. Before anyone complains about how crappy it is, I want to make it clear I'm happy with it, for the most part. I'm not looking for another model, but I am looking for a way to make my cartridges last longer. If I vape without interruption from analogs, my cartridges...

    propylene glycol, and glycerine...... see this, if you havent already.

    There's a lot of people that sound like they're getting a little defensive about this. I think there's an important thing to be considered regarding this thread, and, for that matter, and devil's advocate argument about PG. The FDA is looking for a reason to ban e-cigs. Tobacco companies are...

    has anyone noticed...

    Exchanging a dead battery for a charged one has become a thoughtless instinct for me. Sometimes I don't even realize I'm doing it. My charger pack (along with the refills inside) is literally within arms reach of me at all times. I would be lost without it.:)

    have you ever seen people in public vape??

    I still step outside to vape. My city just recently passed an ordinance that you can't smoke inside any public building (restaurants, bars, etc.). The anti-smoking sentiment is still fairly strong and I just don't want to deal with someone from the anti-smoking crowd spotting me and getting on...

    One Thing E Cigs NEED...Why Real Cigs are BETTER

    I get where your coming from. Some people want to make sure they aren't getting more nicotine than before because they don't want to become further enslaved to it. A friend of mine swears she has an e-cig model than turns off after 10-15 hits, but she might just be confusing that with a dying...

    Do Not Order "Free Trials"!!!

    I have a family member who was sucked into one of these scams, and ended up returning the product and canceling the service once he figured out what was going on. They offered a free trial and set him up on a sort of subscription plan. His cartridges were supposed to last for a certain amount of...
