    Just received first E-juices, What would you try next?

    I'm an ry4 fan, though I have pretty limited experience so far. (Vapin for a month!) So far, I like tobacco flavors okay. I like fruity flavors (blueberry was a fave) a little, or at first taste, but get very tired of them if I vape them for long. I have LOVED the enhanced tobaccos I've...

    Your PV (e-cig)

    1. 510 2. 510 3. 510 4. 510 What can I say- I'm a minimalist. If it ain't broke, I ain't fixin it. (I'd like something with more juice capacity and more battery life- but I'm happy enough with the 510 that I'm planning to stick with it for a few more months. When I buy the next one, it's...

    Quick question regarding nicotine strength: 100 mg = 100 mg/ml????

    YOu are correct. And DON'T VAPE IT. I'm sure you know that, but it never hurts to say- 100mg/ml is for mixing, diluting, and DIY. If you vape with it directly, you can get into BIG trouble fast. Just being sure, Ande

    stupid person at work.. says pv's are worse than combustables

    Someday, there may be a cure for cancer. There may even be a cure for the common cold. There ain't never gonna be a cure for stupid. Of course not. But...that's what she heard. You were just standing there, vaping, and she heard the shout in her head that said "quit SMOKING!" And, not...

    Vaping and children

    It seems much less noxious than cigarette smoke- I don't vape "with" or "on" my wife, but am much less careful than I was when I was smoking. Smoking, I left the apartment and went down to the street. Vaping, I step into the laundry room or close my study door... Best, Ande

    Vaping and children

    My first is still on the way, so I'm not sure what the protocol will be, but here are some thoughts. Driving too long without a break is hard on your concentration, and proven to increase your chances of an accident. If you're driving long distances, whether you smoke or vape, take a break and...

    Are there calories in e-cigs?

    Yeah- won't be the calories in the vapor. I wouldn't think that you absorb calories you inhale, though I suppose that you could get a tiny bit from the juice that condenses in your mouth. But remember, if you're a heavy vapor, you could vape 4-6 ml a day. Most days I get through 2-3, and that...

    That's weird....

    Maybe you did it right, and they're dry? If the atties aren't wet, or are just barely moist, you'll get heat, a little mist, bad taste, and eventually self-destruction. (I tried this. ;-) ) Ande

    Where to get vaping stuff in Korea.

    FreedomSmokesUSA does in fact ship to Korea.( Best Electronic Cigarettes - MyFreedomSmokes.com ) They have a flat rate for shipping, which is $29.95 on all orders. Not cheap, but...looking at the website, juice is about 1/3 the price of here in the ROK. If you order $100 worth of juice (and I'm...

    Meaning of 99% ?

    If cigarette prices go up 100%, they double. 100% = 1 whole unit, whatever the unit is. So 99% safer is nearly 1 whole unit safer- ie around half as dangerous. Dr Seigal uses the term "orders of magnitude safer" in his articles on this subject, and I think it's a good one, though it isn't too...

    Another quitting thread

    I started with nic, but have played around with low-nic and no-nic juices. Mostly because I'm working from home atm, and becoming an obsessive compulsive vaper. It's always in my hand. I find that about 1/5 of my smoking urges are really nicotine related, at a guess. I have two 510s with me...

    Help! My teeth are killing me now!

    My teeth are great, always have been. If I develop problems with my teeth, I'm switching to something else. Here's my tooth story, though. Before, when I smoked, my gums bled often. Sometimes when I brushed, ALWAYS if I flossed. And sometimes they would stay inflamed, and hurt all day, for a...

    Please help me guys, I'm 6 days in and having problems...(sorry it's long, any help appreciated!)

    I haven't read the whole thread, as it's getting long and it's getting late here. But I read the OP and wanted to say a couple of things. First, hang in there. Quitting smoking, or switching to vaping, is murder. Don't get broken down. Hang in there. Second, don't sweat if you cave and...

    Seizure

    If drugs were present, they could confiscate it on the spot for testing. But then the OP would presumably have a court date coming up. (If there were drugs involved, and they find them, they usually charge you.) With nothing like that going on, they really shouldn't be able to confiscate legal...

    TWO Years into Vapping AND.....

    Sorry, the combination of vaping and smoking is NOT useless. A 2 pack a day smoker who vapes instead of the second pack, reducing his/her smoking to 1 pack a day is making substantial reductions to his/her health risks. That's what harm reduction is. It's not a magic solution, just a better...

    E-Cigs are really looked down upon by recent quitters.

    No, they aren't Nazi's. But they do seem, on the board linked to from here, to have found a way of quitting that has a lot to do with "breaking people down." Calling each other "junkies," dismissing another person's ideas as "junkie think," and generally shouting down anything that challenge...

    Anyone else having trouble putting down the real cigs?

    THey call it addiction for a reason. YOu're doing well, so don't beat yourself up! If you really WANT to get rid of the ciggies completely, though, you might think about a couple of things: Is your juice the right nic level? If you're not feeling, I guess satisfied, then this might help...

    Will E-cigs be banned?

    Don't just prepare for the ban- FIGHT IT. Check out the legislation forum on this site. See what's going on. Join local groups. Join CASAA. Write to newspapers and websites that publish information about e-cigs. And, maybe most importantly, tell everybody about e-cigs. What they are, why...
