    Kinda just trading one addiction for another arent we?

    PS- I have no clear idea whether I'm vaping more than I smoked. But what if I am? If you take something that's a hundred times less dangerous, and do it ten times as much, you're still WAY ahead. And no way am I vaping 10 times as much as I smoked.

    Kinda just trading one addiction for another arent we?

    Kind of. Or maybe not even. Maybe just finding a new, healthier way to feed the same old addiction. I tried to stop being an addict. Didn't happen. It's just not how I'm made. I could stop feeding the addiction, and was extremely grouchy and only marginally able to function mentally. (And...

    Apex Vapor Alpha Information Page; Have Questions, Concerns, Suggestions, New Product Requests, or Want to Ask N8T the Alpha engineer a question? Post

    Well, I bought it. :-) It's been my main (only) vape for a little over a week now. There's definitely a learning curve, but I have to say I'm happy to have it. I'll be posting a review with details of my experience after I've REALLY put it through it's paces. (Gotta vape the HELL out of it...

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

    The thing is- they aren't even considering the question as being "is using snus safer than continuing to smoke." Glantz's hypothesis that he's set out to "test," as I understand it, is: "Snus, bad. Not use tobacco, good." Or something similarly simpleminded. Using lower risk tobacco is...

    Mod batteries in Korea?

    All in all, the numero uno website looks pretty good. If I can manage it (damn language) I may order some stuff from them that I was going to order from China... Nice find, thanks! Ande

    Thread for any Dangerous Incidents

    I have owned several extremely dangerous ecigs. Working together, they have, so far, cost the cigarette manufacturers several thousand dollars, and what's worse, the pharmas didnt' get ANY of it. Talk about dangerous- sheez. Those guys must be suffering... Ande

    Family members that successfully quit smoking years ago are now vaping..

    I never went as long as your mom, but had quit for long-ish periods various times. It wasn't that I couldn't quit. I just couldn't quit and be happy. And now I can! And am. :-) Ande

    More addicting than cigarettes, and why do my lungs hurt??

    I'm gonna back up the "go see a doctor" comments- is it vaping related? How the hell should I know. But chest pains are best NOT ignored. That said- it could be any number of things, most of which aren't serious. (Some potentially vaping related, some not.) More addicting? I tend to think...

    Not Firing

    About how often are you guys having to do the switch cleaning thing? I'd love to be able to put a little noalox on the contact points to make it last a little longer between cleans, but I've got the sealed switch, and can't see any way to get at it. Best, Ande

    Class Certification Granted in CA lawsuit against Smoking Everywhere

    If this lawsuit weren't a joke, which it is, then the thing I'm not seeing is damage. Presumably, Smoke Everywhere's customers were in fact smokers. By substituting some of the cigarettes they smoked with use of Smoke Everywhere's product they...breathed better? Could smell more? Felt their...

    Got it! First impressions...

    Continuing first impressions- my nicotine buzz is fading as I get used to the new toy. :-) The RES is tricky- and when you get a dry hit on a device that hits so well...kinda hurts. But as you get used to it, it happens less- general notes: Short draws burn liquid out of the atomizer without...

    Was thinking about coming down- if I do, it'll be a short and early. (Working weekends for a while- gotta get up in the morning.) I'd recommend ordering from innovapor to anyone who wants a pretty solid mod, and doesn't mind that it's a bit pricey. But be warned- they insure shipments, which...

    Got it! First impressions...

    Isn't the ultra TINY? I'm really surprised how small the max is- the only other 17670 mod I've seen (or that I know of) is the prodigy, which isn't huge but certainly seemed bigger. My other, very SLIGHT concern with this mod- lacking a side button, which all my other ecigs have, it rolls...

    Got it! First impressions...

    So, I have my ultramax. A pain to get it here, but worth it. (See other thread for what a pain it was...) I'll try to do a little more complete review later on, but here goes for sharing first impressions. Others have gone on about packaging- I'm not into that. :-) but I have to say- it was...

    Sad.

    YES! Just got it. Total score on this isn't bad- just under 12 days from order to vaping! (For ordering from Korea, it could be a lot worse.) Cost me 20% on the whole order in duties, which isn't as good as I'd hoped or as bad as I feared. And...got a great mod in hand. Glad I went ultramax...

    The final score: 2 failed attempts at delivery. 4 nearly incoherent phone conversations in my screwed up Korean and someone else's slightly better English. 1 week to get the package from Ohio to my local post office. 1 more week to get it from the local post office (which I can see out the...

    Government: Research Subjects Should Inhale REAL Smoke

    This article made my head hurt. Bill's background information helped, but I'm still trying to make sense of it. Reduced nicotine cigarettes, for research: Okay, I can sort of see it. The role of nicotine in tobacco addiction and smoking addiction could do with being studied more. And I guess...

    And it gets even more fun! Today, when I got home, there was a note on my door saying that they had attempted to deliver my package. Which is odd, as there's been somebody home all day. Grrrr ande

    The saga continues. I called the customs crew at the number they sent me. Not much joy, though a good practice session for my Korean and their English. Also sent an email. Received an "out of office" reply immediately, and a real human reply a few hours later. This is what they said: So...
