    Janci Lindsay Posting a Comment on the need for further testing to validate the Safety of E-Juice

    The report finds fault with the NJOY study design, which used the FDA approved Nitrol as a control. The Tobacco-specific metabolites (TSNAs), which are metabolites of Nicotine and are known carcinogens (nitrosonicotine or NNN and methylnitrosamino NNK), were found in the e-liquid but in...

    That was easy...

    Congrats, I couldn't believe how easy it was for me too to transition to eCigs. I love my shiny toy. I have a silver Provari my friends call "The Light Saber."

    New E-Cig E-Book Now Available

    Thanks, don't normally pay for Kindle books lol but I bought this one for the proceeds if nothing else. WIll give it a read and a review; what the "experts" say is certainly a contentious issue as ecigs gain mainstream acceptance. I have introduced a few friends to ecigs so if this is a good...

    Suggestions for Provari lanyard

    SerenityGear Leather - Specials He has a lot of custom ones up for the Provari right now, already made and on special. I decided I'm going to twin my Mini once they come in stock, but for on the go the Mini w/cap will be fine, and I am paranoid about dropping or losing my almost $400 rig...

    HELP! V2 Cartridges taste NASTY. Am I Doing It Wrong??

    V2 is an ok way to start, many of us, including myself, got our introduction to eCigs through them. Not many stick with them over the long haul though. V2 carts can be bought as refillables (the blanks) or you can buy any cartridge that's a blank KRD808-1 thread. If you're not a typical vaper...

    While I didn't have a big interest in the classifieds or co-op forums, I applied...

    20 posts is a barrier? I have been on forums since the days of dial-up, and ECF has a true community feel to it. You can actually say hi to your "neighbors," and you can ask questions without getting shot down. The mods have worked hard at building up trust among members, and keeping down the...

    Z atty pro, coba and others?

    I didn't realize the Cobra had stock issues too! I bought one about 3 weeks ago and after FINALLY getting mesh properly rolled (okay okay I paid someone on ECF, he did an awesome job), coiling was relatively easy and with a short break-in period it wicks like a dream. I was toying between the...

    Pre-oxidized Stainless Steel Mesh (5 Piece)

    I just got my order in I had asked for a 3ml Cobra and he did a fantastic job! He answered all my n00b questions since it's my first RBA and sent the package promptly. It's wicking like a dream. Highly recommended.

    Provari passthrough

    On my Mini, I end up going through a few batteries a day. I wanted the smaller size but I guess I'm going to end up getting the extension and the larger batteries; big mAh difference from the 18650. I would buy a pass-thru home kit if it were around $50, maybe $60. It's going to cost me almost...

    Provari passthrough

    This is the response I wrote them on FB: Perhaps you are waiting to see how the car kit sells but I'd like to see a home kit, with a wall charger included. I would consider the pass-thru but without a need for a car charger, buying the kit AND the wall charger seems a bit steep. I spend a lot...

    Whats up with Bellingham post office?

    Kent is a major sort facility for Washington-based USPS. So if you see that pop up, it is leaving the state next. I have to mail through northern WA and I too see delays. They get HAMMERED; there is not much population but there is an influx of Canadians crossing the border to ship. It's...

    Ecigexpress

    They have a presence on ECF too so ask there? Their chat is down I see and they are a small storefront with usually a few people working away in the back who come up whenever a customer walks in.

    Ecigexpress

    Ecigexpress is a leader in DIY. I have been to their shop in person many times. They really have an amazing selection and are my go-to for flavorings, and yes I have purchased nic from them. I don't know where the nic comes from but you could always ask. I'm glad you asked this question...

    Mom's Dr. prefers analogs. So confused...

    Maybe... in "mice susceptible to tobacco-induced lung carcinogenesis." Note that they were injected intravenously. Bioavailability when VAPING is lesser than if you directly inject nicotine. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0024320512001890 Or maybe it's the metabolites of...

    Mom's Dr. prefers analogs. So confused...

    Yup my brother is in his early 30s and STILL studying day and night for boards. Modern doctors practice evidence-based medicine. If her doctor is telling her this anecdote based on what he's HEARD, then what other bogus claims is he repeating? Medical misinformation and speculation can have...

    IBTanked pyrex glass tanks

    I have a Provari mini. Should I go 19mm XL or regular? I know the size of the cartos they will take but I'm thinking overall height. I was thinking XL but I don't want it to be TOO much, proportion-wise. My main RBA is a Cobra (sandblasted by Phiniac) I just got but I read all these good...

    Losing an APV is no fun

    I know hindsight is 20/20 but make sure you have backups, and backups for your backups. :) They don't have to be expensive, just there at the ready if you lose your main APV, break it, all your batteries are dead or you forgot them at home, you get my drift. I think my next project is putting...

    Lets flood facebook enemies of ecigs

    Done. And yes the American Lung Association DOES have posts lumping "e-cigarettes" in the same category as cigars.

    Kinda Nooby Here.....Just Depressed and Need to Speak UP

    I will post here what I was just musing about in another thread where another member was talking about losing their dog. Indeed the greatest regret about dogs is that their although their love and devotion is so profound, their lives are so very short. As the poet Rudyard Kipling wrote, THERE...
