    another sensationalized article made by people who want to control our lifestyles

    Wow- Some people don't know how to write an article. Cause, I'm gonna get flamed for saying this, but...there were some valid points in there, hiding behind the self-righteousness. Government subsidies of garbage food that nobody would buy or could sell (school lunches) ought to be stopped. We...

    Who else vapes at 30 to 36 milligrams

    I can't vape anything above 24mg- funny, cause I was a pretty heavy smoker. Anything about 24 makes me woozy, though. When the cravings came bad, which they did quite a bit at first, I just vape MORE. Best, Ande

    Smart Cats?

    FUnny- I clicked on this thread because I'm a cat person, and like stories about smart cats. As it happens, I'm also a "smart cart" person. I bought a box of smart carts from a brick and mortar vaping supply store here in Korea, and have rarely used anything else since. Essentially, a smart...

    Vaping after eating

    Yeah- after dinner is the only time I MISS the cigarettes. I usually try to wait a few minutes between eating and vaping. Seems to improve the "hit." Seems to go good with a nice after dinner drink, as well. I vape mostly tobacco flavors, and it's all good. RY4 or a dark pipe tobacco after...

    Chile’s Health Ministry Seeks To Prohibit Electronic Cigarettes

    Here we go again- Corruption is everywhere, of course- but in Latin America, it gets to move faster. If anyone involved in this needs help getting Spanish into English, or vice versa, drop me a line... Ande

    Nicotine's Appetite-Suppressing Power Could Be Used for Weight Loss

    It's funny- I've always been an active guy. Decent shape, maybe a little thicker now than I was in my 20s, but slim and reasonably fit. Every other time I've quit smoking, though temporarily, I gained 5-15 pounds. And every time, it was a LOT easier to start smoking again than it was to get the...

    I smoked through colds too. Wouldn't want to be a wuss, now wouldcha? Vaping isnt' smoking in any of the good ways, BUT, it isn't smoking in the bad ways either. For me, it's been enough to fill the gap. If you hang in there, the gap sort of resizes itsellf...you find that vaping is enough...

    How is it accepted in public?

    Hmmm. I've never had a problem, but I'm in an Asian country, fairly near the one where this whole thing originated. ;-) I see them on the streets here all the time, and since most bars and restaurants DO allow smoking, it seems silly to even hesitate. One of my local pubs doesn't allow...

    Atty dead? Doesnt make sense

    I am not an electrician- but when you say it's not reading anything, is that as in "zero" or as in "off the other end of the meter?" Either way, this sounds like atty death. If it's reading zero, or near zero, I'd say it's somehow shorted out- total short circuit. If it's reading off the...

    Ry4 question

    Don't know how long to steep- but I've got the same experience. I got a 30 ml bottle of RY4 that tastes like spun sugar... But a bottle of RY4 that came with a sampler pack in the same order is DELICIOUS. ;-) never tried ry5. Not in too much of a hurry to, as ry4 is as sweet as I go... Ande

    Thanks guys!

    When you try them all upon arrival, though, it means you have to try them all again the next day, cause it's hard to evaluate the flavors when A) they're all new and could use some steeping, and B) your head is floating around on a much larger cloud of nicotine than you expected. I'm finding...

    Hard packs! I gotta say, I miss hard packs. I was playing cards with my wife the other night, and found myself "packing" the box of cards. Something else "our kind" of smokers HAVE to do- find a PV we really like. Gotta like the look. Got to feel good in the hand and the mouth...

    so are the FDA going to put the "graphic" labels on analogs still?

    THank you vaporjay. That is the clearest, most concise, most accurate explanation of the FDA drug approval process I have seen so far. :-) Sometimes, simple is best. ;-) Ande PS- most places I've lived have had the graphic warnings for a while. Most people don't seem to care, and for...

    Thanks guys!

    Just got my first order from FSUSA. Was running out of juice, so I'm feeling MUCH happier now. It took a week and a half, which from Tuscon to Seoul is pretty respectable. I now have an absolute pile of juice samplers, as well as a few bottles of faves. (Plus a sample of cherry pipe that...

    Gone back to analogs

    Tobacco flavors- FSUSA has some great ones: Their Wyatt Earp is VERY pipe-tobacco like, and I'm stalking the mailman so I can try their (new) purecig and americanspirit flavors. If you like really RICH tobacco, some of the "enhanced tobaccos" like...

    Do we actually need to inahle into our lungs?

    I find that I don't lung-inhale nearly as often any more. I like the taste of the vapor, I like the smell, and I like playing with it. Letting the thick vapor roll out of my mouth and nose...I just like it. I'll deep inhale every once in a while, cause I do sort of like the "ciggy" feeling...

    Argentina bans electronic cigarettes

    I'll second that! I've lived in Latin America (Ecuador) for many years, and visited Argentina several times- a marvelous country, and well worth a visit. Good food, good dancing, and good fun. Sorry about the corruption, but nothing unique there- most of the world has it at some level, and...

    Comment by 'Ande' in 'I'm a smoker.'

    Very well said. I'm a smoker. I the kind of smoker you are. In fact, I'm the kind of smoker you may have asked where to get a happy hour martini, or which place sells a good scotch as the house brand. And doesn't put ice in it. I always know these things, and I LIKE smoking. I haven't...
