    How toxic is e-liquid if ingested?

    The dose makes the poison. I didn't read the MSDS this time, though I've seen it before. Over-ingestion of nicotine in any form can make you feel bad, and if it's too much, it could be pretty toxic. But remember that in pre-mixed liquids, you're dealing with pretty dilute solutions of...

    True smoke Icon

    How long are you using the cartos? could they be the problem? (Cartos don't last forever) I'd also check the charger. Something isn't working here. Really not sure what. Best, Ande

    True smoke Icon

    Gotta wonder, though- a week is NOT long. What are you using on it- cart or atty wise? I don't have an Icon, but do have a 14500 mod, which means I'm using the same batts as you. And mine have been going strong for months. (It's not my all day every day vape; just a solid little DIY box mod...

    Losing plenty of money vaping

    Jeez- each to his or her own, you know? If you don't like vaping, and feel like you're wasting money, try something else. Snus? Cigarettes? Yoga? Find what works for you. But it's silly to try to overgeneralize- Saying "You can't save money by vaping" is just as dumb as saying "vaping is...

    RES Airflow O-Ring Trick

    Me too! Me too! But seriously- My ultramax isn't just my main vape, it's become my only vape. I can't remember the last time I loaded anything else. If you haven't tried it, it kicks .... with dual coil cartomizers too! Full res, full DCC, goes hours without filling or fussing. I'm not...

    Got my LAva Tube!

    Without the tank, what are you using? Cartotanks are way cool, but cartos generally have a different flavor to them... Best, Ande

    Using Pure PG Juice

    If vapor production is the problem, upgrade your rig. A couple of my favorite juices are 100%pg, and I get decent vapor out of a 3.7v mod with a 1.5ohm atty. Simplest rig I know that tends to deliver, well and consistently, would be ego battery with dual coil cartomizers. Not cig-like, but...

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

    It's the same catch-22 that comes up here a lot. Nicotine IS a drug. (By most definitions.) IF it's tobacco derived, and used as tobacco is used (for pleasure), then it may very well be considered a tobacco product. If you source the nicotine from non-tobacco sources, you're making it more...

    mechanical mod (non box)

    PS- Apex Alpha series. Don't know why I didn't think of that. Not cheap, but cool, well built, and very small for the battery size.

    mechanical mod (non box)

    Cheap- Maxi roughstack. (Switch might not be mechanical, but it's bulletproof.) Xhaler (And mini-exhaler) Slightly more but not extravagant: Puresmoker Icon (small) and Prodigy (Medium sized.) (They road tested the prodigy by running over it with a car, then picking it up and vaping...

    New initiative would make possession of tobacco or nicotine a Class C felony in Washington

    They use a threshold. Everyone tests positive for nicotine in a cotinine test, but test levels for actual nicotine users are exponentially higher. Best, Ande

    Lava Tube Battery Scam

    I'm not a battery expert, or a lavatube owner. I have a little background in electronics, though, and everything I'm reading makes me nervous about the batteries that went out with these. VERY nervous. The run times some users are reporting are simply NOT consistant with a 1600-1700 mAh...

    Moving to Korea

    On top, on the bottom, and in the middle. If I could find a local shop without the "greed tax" on it, I'd buy all my stuff locally. Probably won't happen, but...here's hoping. Back to the OP- you won't find it hard to vape here, and it's legal. Unlike a lot of countries, I vape inside of all my...

    compared to the real flavour of your brand?

    Sure have- nothing like it. VAping is not the same animal as smoking, somehow. I've got some camel, marlboro, and lark juices around, all of which correspond to cigs I used to smoke. I like all three juices, but they're nothing like the cigs. Best, Ande

    Five Democrat Senators urge FDA to ban flavored cigars

    Good summary Bill- Let me add: All evidence seems to indicate that if my child is going to smoke, which I'd rather she didn't, cigars are a better choice than cigarettes. Which are NOT facing a ban. Am I missing anything? What the antis seem not to get is that while everybody knows that...
