    My Dse801 batteries have gone doolalytat!!

    It does sound like your controller chip is wonky. (This is how my 801 works: The way things are with these things, your milage may vary.) The number of flashes seems to be variable. It's supposed to flash about 5 secs. when 1) it's first plugged in to the charger, 2) if you drag for longer than...

    St. Paul MN: ECigs Excluded from Latest Ban

    Reducto ad absurdum. :D A recent Gub'ment study shows that 50% of all Americans are below average. ;) (Even a person in a Very High Position of Power recently mis-stated the number of states, setting them at, I believe, fifty-seven.) Wow...if only there was some sort of, I don't know, a...

    St. Paul MN: ECigs Excluded from Latest Ban

    So...the only way to know anything is if our Government tells us so? I have a hard time believing the average person can't determine a diet of greasy fries and burgers and sugary shakes isn't exactly health food, entirely on their own. You don't need to know the % DV of carbs to figure that out...

    E-liquid lab/toxicology reports

    No smartassery taken, Rez; actually you have good scientific inquiry and a healthy dose of skepticism. If we're pushing for acceptance of these things, we have to take nothing for granted, even pre-existing tests. The more everything is run through the wringer and proven safe, and refined and...

    Polyethylene Glycol 400

    Vaping medication, instead of ingesting orally, would be better in many ways. Absorption into the bloodstream would be nearly instantaneous, and complications with digestion (for example, those with stomach ulcers) would be averted. R&D to be sure; this is not only uncharted waters, but...

    Polyethylene Glycol 400

    Well, gosh, that's just depressing. :( I'm gonna hold out a little optimism. After all, the antibiotic soap and hand gel markets are going like gangbusters. Germophobic soccer moms go thru hand gel by the gallon, all in the pursuit of not catching a bug from a shopping cart handle, or...

    Polyethylene Glycol 400

    Surely, Alain, here you go. This isn't the 'three year study,' but it's very similar. I got this from the Journal of Pharmacology And Experimental Therapeutics website. It's copyright is 1947, so I'm going out on a limb and assuming it's in the public domain now. (If not, I'm referencing the...

    Polyethylene Glycol 400

    Thanks, TBob. That Time magazine article you linked to, got me started in my PG research. I've found some more articles about PG vapor, listed in the toxicology report sticky thread, if anyone's interested.

    Polyethylene Glycol 400

    From the World Intellectual Property Organization: (you can look it up online) From this it seems that PG, PEG, and VG are in the same family of polyhydric alcohols. The germicidal properties of inhaled PG vapor are well-known and documented. The inclusion of PEG and VG as germicides, and...

    E-liquid lab/toxicology reports

    Hello, 'cat, (and hi everybody else: this is my inaugural post, although I've been reading and lurking here for several months now!) TropicalBob has posted the link to the Nov. 16, 1942 Time magazine article that said PG is an effective germicide against airborne bacteria. So yes, it is not...
