    Campaign to recognise nicotine eJuice as a Schedule 2 Poison in Australia

    Good evening ECF people! Quick intro seems approprate so my name is Sana Nolan and I run an educational blog on tobacco usage, and more specifically e-cigs, in Australia. To summarise the situation downunder, e-cig hardware is fully legal (at least, there are currently no laws to say...

    NSW Current legislation

    Not meaning to *bump* a quieter thread, but I'm the person in Oz that has been spending (arguable wasting) time to try and get all of this clarified. If anybody is interested, I'm blogging the entire process at smokescreen.info as well as regular discussion on the AussieVapers forum. If...

    Juicewhore - has anyone else tried this ?

    Here, here! To be fair, the Aussie vendors are very careful not to sell *anything* to under 18's even though we can't even put nicotine in our ejuice. So it is meant for "adults only". I have to admit, maybe a clickfree splash page is a good idea...

    Juicewhore - has anyone else tried this ?

    Why is it so ridiculous? I was specifically responding to this: My "extreme" example of the Victorian era is pointing out that attitudes DO change over time, and to say otherwise IS ridiculous. Want some less "extreme" examples? 1. 60 years ago smoking in a plane was not just acceptable...

    Juicewhore - has anyone else tried this ?

    Well certainly a big topic change! In response to "what is offensive doesn't change" I give you three examples: 1. During the Victorian Era they used to place material on table legs as it was considered offensive to have a "naked" leg. Hands up if you find table legs offensive now, over 100...

    Juicewhore - has anyone else tried this ?

    Thus pointing out the huge difference between Aussies and many other countries ;) Come Xmas time here you will find carols in every shopping center (driving those working in retail slowly insane), trees everywhere and even the occasion nativity scene. As an atheist I think a lot of this is...

    Juicewhore - has anyone else tried this ?

    "A rose by any other name..." Why do some people get hung up over the name? Us Aussies are pretty laid back and it's a great gag if you ask me :) Like I said before, going from Dekang to JW Flavors is like going from Maccas to fine dining. Makes it pretty hard to go back!

    Juicewhore - has anyone else tried this ?

    It's just like mixing cordial. Grab some flavorless nic at twice the strength you vape, mix 50/50 and done.

    Juicewhore - has anyone else tried this ?

    A massive +1 for JW from this little vaper for two reasons: 1. Amazing flavors. Words don't do justice ;) Since I started on JW flavors I'm now trying to givecaway all my Health Cabin (Dekang) stuff cause it's like going from a fine restaurant back to a street vendor! 2. I like mixing my own...

    e-liquid in my blood I may die OMG!!!

    Blunt needles and Insulin 1ml syringes FTW! The couple of times I've gotten juice in my month (piddling carto, leaked a leak, etc) it reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Bart and Milhouse get a Squeshie made from pure syrup. BLHAHYAHALARAWLABAROWLA!!!!!

    Negative Reviews

    Totally agree. I've tried so many different types of cart/atty/carto combos - it's cost me a small fortune! I wish somebody had told me to begin with not to bother with carts and go straight to tanks or cartos (Boge LRs FTW!) Disclaimer: IMHO :)

    Nic in Food

    It occurs naturally. Most pesticides used these days are 100% synthetic. Nicotine occurs in many types of peppers and is also present in cured meats.

    First time vaping in a pub

    That makes no sense at all. Vapor isn't smoke so it's not covered by smoking bands (I'm assuming here the English laws are similar to the ones here in Australia or New Zealand). Let me get this straight: pub owners are complaining about losing sales due to the smoking ban, and then...

    First time vaping in a pub

    Yes, but I doubt any smoker or ex-smoker will question your logic for a second.

    How Many Licks Did It Take You To Find The Right 'Lollipop'?

    I'll second that last post. I've never had an issue with finding a good battery - be it a 510, eGo or Provari it all comes down to the situation. Cartos/atty on the other hand, went through heaps of different types before deciding I liked the eGo/510 tanks and Boge LR cartos the most. As...

    Want to buy an E-Cigarette for my dad.

    I'm setting up a very similar rig to that for my Dad. I know he would prefer automatic, but manual is just soooo much better once you get used to it, so I put together: MadVape PCC 1x auto 510 batt 1x manual 510 batt 6 x Boge Ciggie .... colored cartos I cut the end of two of the...

    Wow. If you havent read this, do it now.

    I've got to disagree with that last point. There aren't any long term clinical studies on the effects on inhaling PG, but Health NZ has shown that the vapor is "harmless in near absolute terms". PG is used in asthma inhalers since the 60's and in fog machines for over 70 years. Call me simple...

    FDA unveils new warnings for cigarette packs

    That's exactly what happened in Australia when they first introduced the large warnings in the late 90's. Each time our gov'ment has increased the size of the warnings there is a temporary boast in cigarette case sales and then it all goes back to normal again. Everybody just pays the extra tax...

    First time vaping in a pub

    I like your logic there. Sounds like a great idea that works. Maybe we need more boxmods and eGos and less 510 and similar analogue replicas. Except of course it's the later that appeal to so many smokers. Oh the irony!

    Here's my research paper on e-cigarettes for your enjoyment

    *clap *clap* *clap* That was fantastic! I write a "smoking" blog in Aus and I don't think anything I've written comes close to what you've written. Can I use this when I talking to people here (particularly our MPs)?
