    Home plus

    I'm in Daegu for a bit, living near one of the big "Home Plus" stores. As I was wandering through the "geek section" (electronics), I was surprised to see a small selection of ecigs. Just an ego setup (with cartos of some sort, I think) and a couple flavors of Ruyan liquid. But the prices...

    Protected batteries vs IMR - safety

    I think that it depends on what you're planning to do to them. :-) Seriously- Because of their much higher C rating, IMR batteries are safer in a lot of scenarios. You can't draw too many amps very easily at all. This is the reason a lot of authorities consider them safer- a lot less likely to...

    Many resolve to quit.

    Why oh WHY do people go on and on about the hand to mouth cycle? AS IF IT MATTERS. My infant daughter has already, at three months old, developed hand to mouth. EVERYTHING she can manage to get in her hand is going in her mouth. Is she doomed? Ande

    FDA may soon propose regulation that could ban many/most e-cigarette products, eliminate many/most companies

    Here's another thought- If you stock up with enough vape supplies for the rest of your life, you're good right? Until they raid your house, that is. (I know, it's not that kind of ban we're worried about. Yet. But...give'em an inch, they're gonna take a mile.) And until they move on to the...

    Support your local brick and mortar?

    I go out of my way to support good vendors. This might mean supporting a brick and mortar store, but it seems like more often it means supporting a good online vendor. So many vendors are mall ripoff rackets. And some of the best businesses in the vaping business don't have a store...

    Big Pharma Advertisements

    Fraid so. Seriously- Big Pharma works for money. They do good, occasionally, but it's just tangential. They exist to make money. Honestly, I was playing a little- There's no dichotomy here. Big Pharma is Big Tobacco is Big Aerospace or Automotive. Corporations are all in it to make money-...

    Big Pharma Advertisements

    I haven't smokes since I discovered vaping either. :-) And...Big Tobacco never did anything to me. They sold me an enjoyable, dangerously addictive, deadly product. Which is what I bought, and what I knew when I bought them. It was all clearly labeled and out in the open. I started smoking in...

    Big Pharma Advertisements

    More than a quarter of students who entered US universities in 2000 were medicated for soem sort of behavioural or attention related disorder. (SOrry, no link, it's been years since the study I read was published.) I bet it's gotten worse since then. Nope, wasn't always that way. Kids...

    Big Pharma Advertisements

    In fairness, that sort of describes what I'm like before I've had coffee in the morning. :blush: Seriously, though- as a psychotherapist, you must see it all the time: Drugs come in trends. When they have a drug to sell, they push it so hard into the public consciousness. I have a friend with...

    Many resolve to quit.

    Close. Deep breaths: WHILE VAPING. Distract yourself: By trying new flavors. Delay: While waiting for the mailman. Drink water: While vaping. Now THAT will work. Ande

    Why / how do mods hold their resale value ?

    If the savings outweigh the risk, or if the opportunity does. I'd buy a used Katana in a heartbeat. As far as I know, that's the only kind there is. Some things you can't find new- they REALLY hold their value. Some things you can, but it's a PITA with a lot of waiting. Second hand prices...

    Why / how do mods hold their resale value ?

    PS- Quality, availability, and reputation all play a role. The prices of used mods didn't really strike me as odd- My other hobby is music, and in the world of guitars, it's old news that prices of used items play by different rules. Some things go up in price, some hold, some drop. Depends on a...

    Why / how do mods hold their resale value ?

    Some do, some don't. Some drop value immediately, as they are relatively easy to find. Some are hard to find, and durable. I've seen new and used GGTS units beside each other, and couldn't tell which was which. And new ones aren't available very often- that makes a used one, even at new...

    FDA may soon propose regulation that could ban many/most e-cigarette products, eliminate many/most companies

    It's hard work here, but everybody who's coming to this thread partway through should probably go back and read it all from the beginning. The fight is NOT over. They may propose this regulation soon, according to the information I've read here. So we need to educate others, mobilize, do what...

    Reply From The FDA

    The "We shouldn't have called it a cigarette" idea sort of misses the point. They do know what they're doing. They aren't opposing this because it is called a cigarette. They are opposing it because it saves smokers from spending their money on stupid taxes, and on stupider pharmaceuticals...

    EU Holland bans e-cigarettes

    Keep informing them of your discontent- and seriously, if you think a little show of international support could be in any way useful, say the word. NOT cool. I've spent a little time in your fair country. Not true to say that drugs are legal, of course. But it seems that your government, at...

    Which interface do I need?

    Yeah- got a spare switch when I ordered. But when I'm cleaning gear, I don't keep track of which is which, so they sometimes swap places. (In the beginning, I had a little trouble with switch function, and was taking them out a lot.) BEst, Ande

    EU Holland bans e-cigarettes

    According to this logic (as lucidly explained by Rolygate) fruit is a drug. It is used to cure the disease of "unhealthy food addiction." When are they going to get around to restricting the advertisement and sale of fruit? Wouldn't we be better off relying on proven save pharmaceutical vitamin...

    EU Holland bans e-cigarettes

    What can we do? If this were happening in a country I knew better (with a language I speak) I'd be suggesting a letter writing campaign. Any way we can help on this? Ande

    How toxic is e-liquid if ingested?

    By the way, the MSDS that was linked to is referring to 100% nicotine solution. DO NOT obtain 100% pure nic, do not use it, do not touch it, if you find a bottle of it, do not open it. Do not mess with it. Deadly. Most DIYers use a 10% solution as their starting point (100mg/ml). Safe if you're...
