    I can't put it down

    Can't wait for my passthrough to get here either. (Could be a while, as it's crossing the pacific!) Lack of passthrough isn't interupting my vaping, you understand- I just get tired of the constant battery rotation. (The 510 vaping solution- I have two assembled PVs in the ashtray next...

    Smoking Everywhere / Smokefreeonline.com

    Even worse when it's SUCH a good (life-saving) product. The extreme cost and low quality of mall e-cigs has probably done more than many things to turn people off of vaping. And that's a crime, in more ways than one. Best, Ande

    Smoking Everywhere / Smokefreeonline.com

    Obvious that you know what you're doing in terms of dealing with this kind of thing, though. ;-) The reason that they make you sign a "no refund" receipt is NOT that it completely ends your right to refunds. In virtually every state, there are at least some conditions (and misrepresentation is...

    Wiil they help me to stop smoking?

    Will they help you stop smoking? Only you can say. CAN they help you stop smoking? Oh hell yes! A lot of us here are former smokers who succeeded using e-cigs when everything else seemed not to work.I've been smoke free for more than a month. Unlike other quit attempts (even when it went...

    Studies say electric cigarettes are not what they seem

    Hmmm. So his initial study involved using an e-cigarette the way you'd use a conventional cigarette. That wouldn't work! When I first started vaping, I sometimes had to really sit down with it and vape continuously for 10-15 minutes before the jonesing would go away.... Best, Ande

    most important aspect of vaping

    All three, but flavor coming in last. I always smoked bad tasting cigs, so the occasional bad tasting juice is no big deal. But no TH or no vapor and it just doesn't work. No satisfaction. I have a cappucino flavored juice that is TERRIBLE tasting, but produces lots of impenetrable fog and I...

    Studies say electric cigarettes are not what they seem

    Okay, I should have kept following links before I posted. Perhpaps Dr Eissenberg was more aware than I gave him credit for of the limitations of the first study. My bad. His second study seems rather more hopeful, I must say- but I'm still somewhat confused as to his motives and conclusions...

    Studies say electric cigarettes are not what they seem

    So I ask myself, who IS this Eissenberg fellow? First, if history counts, it's worth knowing that, before becoming and anti-e-cig wonk, he was an anti-hookah-wonk. And a number of people found his conclusions questionable, given his ties to the tobacco and pharmaceutical industries, or at...

    work and a possible smoking ban guessing they will not allow vaping if this happens

    Nope. Sad though it is, most people don't have too much choice. If you're already tied to being in a certain place (own property you couldn't sell in this climate, for example) then you're choosing from a relatively small pool of jobs, many of which aren't hiring, or aren't hiring you, your...

    i have kind of a pointless question!!

    Still got the lighters- I put one in each desk drawer, one in each kitchen drawer, cause you just never know when you'll need to light something. There's always one close by. Gave the rest to my wife, and she keeps them with her incense and candles. (She quit smoking years ago- just up and...

    Travel and Vaping Compiled List of Banned Countries?

    Probably there will never be a "list" as such. The thing is, most places I know of haven't banned them outright. (Which would be hard to do in any case, given the availability of a lot of the components...) Some places restrict nicotine, or allow ecig sale only nic-free. Other don't allow...

    Does that thing work????

    Okay- we seem to have missed the point on the veggie analogy. I've been veggie for a long time- not preaching. Not saying YOU should be veggie. I just have been. And through the years, what happens, sometimes, is that folks who eat meat feel all defensive, and make defensive aggressive remarks...

    Has anyone vaped while exercising?

    Depends a LOT on the form of exercise. I walk, a lot. It's my primary transport. Live in a great big city, don't own, or want, a car. I used to smoke analogs while walking, now I vape. Don't see anything to worry about this. I also lift weights. COuldn't really manage with the ecig in my...

    How long to switch over to e-cig?

    Was pretty much immediate for me. First day, 3 cigs, but that was only until I figured out how to work the 510. Second day, zero. Tried one a few days later, but it was not really what I wanted. Ande

    I hate the use of the word 'analog' to describe cigarettes

    When I smoked, I already called them "cancer sticks" and "coffin nails." I guess I was sort of conflicted about smoking. :-) Glad to be on the much lower risk version, no matter what we decide to call it. On another thread, somebody called it a Personal Electronic Nicotine Inhalation System...

    new 510 user

    Another thing that makes the whole market a little confusing at first is rebranding. A LOT of different brands of certain models of ecig are coming out of the same factories, I believe. Technically, my first ecig was a "Support Secret," from a Korean company. (I live in the Republic of...
