    The dreaded morning cough......

    I must be odd. I find higher VG relaxes my chest more and I cough less. I find most of my coughing/wretch and sometimes sickness is literally my throat is dry. I need, and I mean NEED, to drink water whilst I vape. The first few hits on the cloud machine first thing in the morning causes me to...

    Teens Drink E-Liquid With Energy Drinks

    I'm fairly sure my IQ plummeted after watching that news report. It's almost a comedy sketch. Keep it away from young children and pets, but heck, if a teenager deliberately drinks it then not a great deal we can do about that. Also, every, and I mean -every- single e-liquid bottle I've...

    Redundant equipment

    I gave most of my Ego batteries away, to be honest, mostly to people who wanted to vape but couldn't justify the upfront costs, or to dear friends that smoke and refuse to entertain the idea of vaping. I figure, remove the barriers, they might get curious, who knows, they may even quit. I did...

    Poll on proposed E Cig tax in NJ

    Voted! It's surprising they are considering this, consider the health benefits it would bring. Always about money though, aint it. :(

    Great Paper - Achieving appropriate regulations for electronic cigarettes

    Very impressed by the paper. Offered a balanced view on what needs to be considered before regulation and restrictions are imposed. I particularly enjoyed the sly digs throughout (all warranted of course) Let's hope this reaches a few people and is put in front of the policy makers. I fear...

    The other half has FINALLY come onboard!

    Ha-ha yeah the cost can escalate, but considering what she spends now...we were both a puffing through 30 ciggies each, every day. I DIY my liquid now so hopefully even if she hits the dizzy heights of 10ml a day (guilty as charged) then we'd save. Hate being broke. But being broke got me...

    The other half has FINALLY come onboard!

    I'd love her to get on vaping full time, I really would. She sees it as "not quitting" and won't entertain it. She still maintains I've not dealt with my addiction (even though I'm down to 10mg on a bad day, less on a normal day, mg in my DIY). She doesn't want to move to vaping, but wants to...

    The other half has FINALLY come onboard!

    Oh, and I recall one failed attempt at quitting when she had a 24 hour, 24mg patch on, and smoked through 25grams of tobacco - that was a long night. She suddenly wondered why she couldn't sleep ha-ha To date, she's been a hopeless addict. I'm just hoping the vaping will creep up on her and...

    The other half has FINALLY come onboard!

    Yeah she's vaping a pretty low mg juice, and just hitting it when the cravings overwhelm her - her patch is a lower dose (18mg). I'll make sure she doesn't go overboard! To be honest, I just want her to do whatever it takes to quit. Within reason of course! :)

    The other half has FINALLY come onboard!

    I'm secretly hoping I can move onto mech mods now, and she can have my tanks/vamo/wicks etc.... But seriously, she's coming onboard to vaping (with patches early days) Going to town on the DIY liquids next month to find her perfect blend. I'm pleased, her health is deteriorating rapidly smoking :(

    The other half has FINALLY come onboard!

    Bit of a rubbish post, but I'm chuffed, and wanted to share. So yeah, I'm over three months into vaping. The significant other was still smoking. I didn't mind, she wasn't ready to quit. Fair enough. Last night we were driving home and discussing the ever diminishing bank balance and she turns...

    Is the Provari worth the money?

    1.8 ohm head in an iClear30 pretty much halved my battery life. Heed the advice I reckon, people don't post free advice to mislead, it's experience making people post and offer an opinion (most of which is based on experience) my 2 cents. And yes, a Provari -is- worth the money, because most...

    steeping how to?

    I usually make a batch and leave them a day or two in a closed sock drawer (or whatever you have that is similar) anywhere not hot and out of sunlight. After two days, I uncap and squeeze the air out, recap, shake, and put them back for two days. I use simple flavors but find this works...

    Best times of which to vape

    I find, when I get up, I vape (often before I get up, it's never far) I do stick with old "smoking habits" like vaping after meals - to me it help the transition between the two. Hoping to break these habits soon, but for now, it stops me smoking so I'm fine with it :)

    taxation fears

    Awesome Stosh - I actually want to do that now just for fun - and when it's literally impossible to afford e-cigs/mods, quite the racket :P When my vamo's die, I know who to go to for advice :D Seriously though, I feel as though I need to prep for the end of vaping legally - that's just wrong...

    taxation fears

    Mechanical sales may rise too (I know I'm considering that now) DIY is probably a good move - get stocked up on nicotine base at a very least, the rest probably can't fit under an umbrella ban as it has multiple uses. God it's like prepping for The Walking Dead. Seriously...

    taxation fears

    Yeah I'd not considered this, personally. I just figured non commercial sales of nicotine solution would be restricted. It's one to ponder though. I've asked family "hey, your chest freezer. That's got a fair bit of storage, you vape right? Mind if I "lease" some freezer space?" I live in a...

    The end of the Provari??? 95% WA state tax!

    I've signed, and from the UK - seems to hit the tally - get the word spread! This is shocking. Fully support the stance against this!
