    More obsessed over vaping than I EVER was over my precious cigarettes...

    I bought a USBgo and some of the dual coil cartos at Nhaler because I'm a big fan of the Octane High Voltage and Lung Juices...but there's a lot of vendors I haven't tried yet! Avidvaper is a good place to find both the USBgo battery (here: Ego 650mAh battery with USB Charging port - Avid...

    More obsessed over vaping than I EVER was over my precious cigarettes...

    The true rating of "power" is in watts, but batteries are generally known by their voltages. A 3.7V battery might actually start by giving closer to 4.2 volts when freshly charged and then as it discharges the voltage will drop and so will the total "power" so the amount of vapor will diminish...

    My home town!

    Although e-cigarettes are probably harmless and may even provide some health benefits so could be called "healthiER", it is probably going too far to say they are "healthy". Drinking coffee without dumping a bunch of cream or sugar into it is probably a healthier choice, but its a stretch to...

    Petition, Claiming E-Cigarettes Cause Cancer

    So, according to the authority vested in Bob, 50 years of smoking doesn't cause incurable lung cancer, but less than 3 months using an e-cigarette does. Oooooookay.:facepalm:

    Another NY gem of legislation being proposed

    Prohibitionists like to blur the line between what you "should" do and what you "must" (by rule of law) do. There are many things in life that you should absolutely not ever under any circumstancer ever do in your entire life, but that does not mean that drinking orange juice immediately after...

    Low Resistance Dual Coil carto's at 6 volts.

    1.5ohms requires 2466mA to reach 3.7 volts. Unless you are using a high drain battery (as you would with a variable voltage mod), most batteries aren't rated to put out more than 2amps--which is only 3 volts at 1.5ohm. Come to think of it, 1.5ohms at 2Amps = 6 watts. If your battery can't...

    More obsessed over vaping than I EVER was over my precious cigarettes...

    The "Low Resistance" and dual coil cartomizers are great because they draw more power from the battery to produce more vapor. The problem, of course, is that the small batteries that look like cigarettes usually can't keep up--at least not for long. I definitely recommend trying low resistance...

    Like smoking a snowcone!

    That is actually a very good analogy. Snow cone syrup contains the same flavorings, water, and propylene glycol used to make e-liquid. If the sugar didn't clog your atomizer, you could probably vape snow cone syrup! :P

    Low Resistance Dual Coil carto's at 6 volts.

    2x3Ohm coils wired parallel = 1.5ohm. It is literally powering two 3ohm coils at 6V each, but the reduced resistance means it is drawing a lot more power from the battery. Like any 6V vaping, the coils can get hot fast if you let them get dry and having two coils means you'll be vaporizing...

    FOIA Request Results (Open Government Advocacy by CASAA members)

    Referring to e-cig vapor as containing "particulate" is a MAJOR equivocation. Although technically a group of microfine propylene glycol and and water droplets suspended in air could technicallly be labeled a "particulate", this is NOT what is meant by "particulates" when referring to SMOKE...

    I didn't expect it to hurt! Is it me or my stuff?

    The nicotine in e-cig vapor is not really absorbable through deep lung tissue, so except to "scratch the itch" for throat hit, you really don't need to inhale. Propylene glycol vapor is a germicidal air sanitizer and glycerin is commonly used to make soap, so it makes sense that after years...

    Utah Board of Regents 'Smoke Free policy'

    Even though it doesn't appear to apply to e-cigs, there is no justification given for including tobacco vapor in their definition of smoke. I understand that there are some concerns about hookah use, but the SMOKE from a hookah is the result of the burning coals as it is still present even when...

    Just about to hit the SIXTH month mark for being smoke free (7/3/11!)

    I try to be empathetic whenever I can, but in this case all I can feel is pity for this "coulda been"/wannabe. People have a selfish tendency to believe they can shame people into doing what (they think) is best and the Anti-Tobacco "denormalization" campaign has only fed the lie. I...

    Two weeks, first analog since. What's your story?

    We can't absorb the nicotine as efficiently from vapor into deep lung tissue like we could with smoke--it's mostly only absorbed in the mouth and upper respiratory system, so the only reason to even inhale is for throat hit. If you're craving analogs, you might try kicking up the nicotine or...

    UPDATED New York State Call to Action

    Right. Not National Socialists. This generation is :matrix:"neo" and :rickroll:"uber". :blink: :danger: The lesson of the "First they came for..." poem is that you don't have to be a member of The Party to be part of The Problem.

    Wow. If you havent read this, do it now.

    We vape a few milliliters a day using between 3-12 watts, compared to a 1800 Watt concert fogger that uses a liter or more every hour. Nicotine is heavier than air so if you exhale any, I imagine that most would land on your clothing. (is anybody having a problem with this?:laugh:) I suppose...

    FDA to Step Up Inspections of Imported Products

    Considering he's been in both GOP debates so far, I think so. :tongue: I think Paul is a great mind, but I don't think he has any more chances of winning the presidency than I do. So far I'm liking Herman Cain quite a lot, but the media is writing him off because he's neither a senator or...

    E-cigs gain celebrity status

    If nothing else, I think exposure from Rush Limbaugh is enough to consider Volcanoecigs one of the "big names" and they have a great lineup and prices. (Inferno USB battery for $19.99 is kinda awesome)
