    Should videos of minors vaping stay on youtube or be flagged and taken down?

    Can't vote- Cause I'm aware that "think of the kiddies" is one of the reasons people use as an argument to ban vaping. I'm aware that having these videos up harms our image as a community, the image of the products we use, and if it becomes widespread, will make a ban more likely. I want to do...

    My biggest frustration with vaping.

    Consistency depends of so many factors- those who are recommending Darwins and Provaris on this thread: Great units. But...consistent voltage is great. But what the OP seems to be talking about depends on so much more. Without a consistent juice delivery, consistent voltage(or wattage) only...

    3 days - No smokes :)

    Similar story- I bought a PV kit, not to quit but just to have something for places and times I couldn't smoke. And of course cause I like gadgets. Smoked four cigarettes total in the first week I had it, two of which I didn't finish. Gave the rest of the pack away. Tried drags of friends'...

    E-Cigarettes Deliver Nicotine - JF Etter

    Not a bad article- and anything that suggests to the public that ecigs could be considered beneficial is worth keeping around. I had a slight sneer at the reference to "smoking cessation medications that have been demonstrated to be safe and effective for that purpose." Which medications are...

    Disagree about the lack of learning curve. The amount of liquid the RES can use and wick properly varies a lot according to the viscosity of the juice and the way you vape. 100%vg wicks a lot differently than 100%pg. And any blend is somewhere in the middle. How quickly it wicks also depends on...

    I hear you on that- I've had mine two weeks now. It's the only thing I've vaped in that time. (Okay, most of my other gear is lower end, but still!) Enjoy, Ande

    I like it a lot with 1.5 and 1.8 ohm 510s. (Joye or other, but make sure you don't use cheapies- the ohm ratings aren't reliable.) I like a fairly warm vape. I've heard the RES also works well with cartos, but haven't had occasion to try it out yet. I've also got a set of RCR123As, and tried...

    Marriott Fines Guest for Vaping

    Exactly the point of this thread, in my opinion. GE revised their policy. They saw the need to do this, because although they wished to prohibit ecig usage, they understood that simply "no smoking" did not mean "or ecigs, either." If ecigs come to be considered tobacco products (and this is...

    UltraMax 3.7 on it's way!

    Anodizing could work. Like you, I had some teething pains in getting my switch working right- but it's worth working it out. Now, mine hits every time, with easy movement of the tube. Looking forward to your more detailed thoughts. Best, Ande

    Peter Singer calls for cigarette prohibition

    Somebody should change the title of this thread. Seriously- not related to the article. The article makes me sad, though- I often enjoy Peter Singer's writing very very much. He sometimes argues very well. (Animal Liberation, whether you agree with it or not, makes inspiringly well crafted...

    Marriott Fines Guest for Vaping

    agree with several other posters- the issue isn't exactly allowing or not allowing vaping. The issue is that adding rules after the fact is inherently unjust. A reasonable person would NOT have known that vaping was included in their smoking ban. Best, Ande

    UltraMax 3.7 on it's way!

    Smaller than most mods with similar sized batteries, I'd say. My ultramax fits easily in a shirt pocket or breast pocket of my suit. It's a little too heavy for some shirt pockets, but not nearly as heavy as some. Or in the front pocket of my jeans, it's great. The learning curve on the RES...

    Good luck to you- Let us know how it goes. If a time comes when a massive outpouring of email, telephone, and letter contact supporting your position would be useful...let us know. We can do that. Hang in there, Ande

    Marriott Fines Guest for Vaping

    Well, you can't make people fight what they don't want to fight. She's got a hell of a case, though. As I understand the story (which doesn't make a lot of sense): She didn't smoke, she vaped. The maid didn't smell smoke in the hallway, she lied. The hotel manager, after the fact...

    Penn State video: half right, anyway

    Thank you Rolygate. The Tobacco Control Industry simply wants what all industries want- its own continued existence, growth, success, and influence. Success, in the modern sense of the word "industry," though, is dependent on being economically viable. And who, pray tell, is financing the...

    Quick answer- I'm having no problems at all with the threads. I try to take care of my gear- I check that atties have the right size threads, and if they're worn to the point of being wobbly, I won't put them on anything good. (THough I'll still use them on an old ego, if they still work.)...

    Idaho: intended state legislation on e-cigs (ban to minors)

    I think we have to start a serious effort to get Electricman a JOB. Who the hell has time to find, and troll, virtually every reference to ecigs on the whole darn internet??? Wish I did. (I wouldn't troll, but would love to have the spare time.) That aside, this article is far from the worst...

    Stan Glantz defames Brad Rodu, criticizes harm reduction articles on smokeless tobacco and e-cigarettes

    The thing that *****s me off, of course- Glantz is what he is. Intellectually dishonest, manipulative, economically interested, self aggrandizing semi-crazy. BUT...my extended family aren't. They're just "ordinary" people, not much into reading, church-going non-smoking folks. And when guys...
