    SF Vape Shops?

    Yes, I love SF, I have lived there before but didn't vape (or smoke) then. :) I had a little studio at Polk & Market, not the safest area, but I loved it. And I love how dog-friendly it is. Alamo Square is indeed off the beaten path but I work for a company in Paris, France who loves using...

    Yup, I like cotton better than silica, but I can still taste it, and waking up with wheezy hacky lungs because I was too lazy to re-coil when it started getting burned while vaping before bedtime is just no fun. :)

    Ok so my first run in with the local vapor shop.

    Yeah, exactly. My mom will be 80 this year and has smoked since she was 15. She started vaping recently (independently of me - I asked her "Hey, have you heard about vaping?" and she said "Oh yeah, I have some, I even have the one that plugs into the computer [a passthrough]). I Facetimed with...

    Okay, just wrapped a new coil and wick I'll put aside for next time: And this is it when it's in: I usually eyeball the length and I guess I use about 2", not 1.5" of wick.

    Yes, I use the stuff from rbasupplies. :) They are the only source I know that kiln-treats it for safety. I wrap a single strand (give me a minute and I'll get some pics). It can fit down into the slots on the cup, but it compresses it and frays it a little and it doesn't last as long. Widening...

    SF Vape Shops?

    I definitely will! L.A. just passed the ban on e-cigs in public here (boooo!). Just has to be signed by the mayor now. I don't vape anywhere I wouldn't smoke unless expressly allowed to, and I try not to vape where I know someone will walk into my cloud, etc. Sounds like it'll be fine. :)

    Ok so my first run in with the local vapor shop.

    I've gotten the same attitude from people with mechs; "Oh, a ProVari? Pshaw, you don't know what you're missing, you need to blah blah quad coil blah sub ohm blah blah wattage blah blah." It's a two-way street. :) It's not the device, it's the person holding it.

    Notice - Provari subforum to be closed

    Sssshh! They'll hear you... maybe if we're quiet they'll forget about it. :)

    That's what I love about it. It doesn't fray very much; I wrap around it with a 14 gauge needle in there as a spacer so it's just loose enough after it's wrapped. When it's time to recoil it, you can just torch it clean and it's good as new - literally good as new, it's pure white. It can be...

    SF Vape Shops?

    Awesome, thanks guys. :) Any vaping ordinances in SF I should be aware of when up there?

    it happened in L.A. …

    I just posted a couple of photos from the rally at Pershing Square today: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/536043-los-angeles-bans-e-cigs-3.html#post12472611

    When I rebuilt my Dripper a couple of days ago I used a Dremel to widen the slots enough for the XC-116 wick to slide in them without constricting as much. It's working GREAT. :) I will probably do that to the next cup I use.

    Los angeles bans e-cigs

    Couple of photos from the #IMPROOF/Save Vape LA rally today at Pershing Square to protest the ban. There was a pretty good turnout, maybe 150-200 people? Me with Herbert Gilbert, the man who has the first patent for electronic cigarettes (1965). He spoke - at 82 I think he rallied the...

    Where are the smoking cessation studies?

    I agree with you on the peer review, but it seems some people will not accept a study as valid without it. :(

    Craft Vapery: Curated and Personalized E-Liquid Service

    One more reason to love Craft Vapery! I went the #IMPROOF/Save Vape LA rally today in Los Angeles set up to speak out against the ordinance the city of L.A. passed last week putting vaping in the same category as smoking. Craft Vapery was onsite with a table, promoting CV and wrapping free...

    Where are the smoking cessation studies?

    You know, I totally get that, but in science even an overwhelming amount of anecdotal evidence is still anecdotal until it's been collected, analyzed, and presented. We can say "I and thousands of other people have quit smoking through vaping" but unless there is a peer-reviewed study, it's just...

    Where are the smoking cessation studies?

    Yes, I did - I couldn't really find anything. Nor do I ever see a study referenced during debates. That's why I'm wondering what's up. As for who would finance it, that's definitely a good question but I would think that the tobacco companies who have gotten into the cig-a-like market would...

    Where are the smoking cessation studies?

    One thing that comes up when I'm debating people, or reading stories in the media, is that there have not been any studies on smoking cessation by vaping and I have not been able to locate any on my own. Is this true? If not, I would really appreciate some links... If it is true, why do you...

    Same here... I ordered one, picked up another one used for a spare, lost the spare to the boyfriend, and ordered another one. :) Now I have one on my "in the house" Provari and one on the Mini that stays in my bag for when I'm out and about. It's really outstanding.
