    Strongest e cig

    From reading about the experiences of so many, I think the only rule is... there is no rule. Some people can (and need to) chain-vape 36mg all day and night. Unlike tector, I love the throat and lung sensation of high-nic, but reserve it for early morning vaping, and drop down to 12 or even 8...

    Ego Battery Life!

    An Ego (and I guess Tornado & Riva) is a 510 atty & cartridge or drip tip with a different battery, plus the cone cover and different charging equipment. So to go from 510 to Ego, I just bought a couple batteries and cones and a charger adapter. Although everybody says the USB charger is much...

    Wow--excellent letter, excellent initiative. Do let us know if you hear back (be the reply good or bad)!

    Ego Battery Life!

    Since I got my Ego batteries last week, I have yet to see one run out. And I thought for sure I would today. My practice has been to stick the one I've been using on the charger when I get home from work, vape with the new one throughout the evening and next early morning, and head off to work...

    Liquid Thief!

    Not that this changes anything, but is the roommate actually a smoker, or somebody who has the occasional one at parties (i.e., "just thinks he smokes"') and is insensitive to the supply issues Ace mentions, be it cigarettes or juice? I've known people like that-- no understanding that for...

    American Lung Association

    This is far short of an endorsement because I know little about their work and nothing about their finances or their clout, but LCFA - Lung Cancer Foundation of America: seems to be an organization that is interested in dealing rationally with lung cancer, and as such might be more open-minded...

    Blood Pressure and PV's

    Yesterday, I had my first checkup since I started vaping. My regular doctor is on extended sabbatical leave (must be nice...) so I had a substitute I didn't know. She expressed great delight in my "almost-quit" (like four a day) report, and didn't probe when I mentioned using an e-cigarette...

    Was my Avatar offensive?

    To me, at least in this case, it depends on whether it's your own back.

    510 vs eGo

    I just made the 510-to-Ego switch last week and definitely notice (and enjoy) an increased warmth of the vapor, and I think quantity of vapor as well.

    Tracking Question

    Tracking Question

    I'm new to ordering from China and not sure how tracking works. Today I saw the message: "Inbound International Arrival, July 18, 2010, 10:49 am, ISC NEW YORK NY(USPS)." Does this mean Customs is finished with it and the U.S. delivery phase begins? Or does the Customs phase start then? Thanks

    How long does liquid last you?

    2-3 ml a day. Early a.m. at 36mg, then way down (am trying 8mg for the first time today).

    How many are quitting for serious health reasons?

    My family history (emphysema in three generations on one side) played a part in my thinking. Now in my fifties, and with 40ish-years of smoking 1-1.5 ppd behind me, it has only been in the last couple years that I've noticed it seriously catching up with me--that wheeze/rattle/cough. Last...

    510 --> Ego: More Liquid Consumption?

    I'm on Day 2 with my Ego batteries. I'm especially liking the warmer vapor (and looking forward to the delivery of some LR batteries for what I hope is even more of that). I haven't been keeping close track, but I seem to be getting fewer drags per 3-drops than I did with my 510. It may just...

    Television Commercial ... is this new?

    Saw one for the first time last week. Pretty 20-something lady promoting them. ("even in bed," she slyly notes). I think the first I heard of e-cigarettes was on an AM radio ad. (Fortunately, I don't patronize that station's advertisers, or my first e-cig choice would have been a really bad deal.)

    FDA Panel-o-Experts' Menthol Decision Due Soon

    Well, if there is an outcry it will be a first. Not one of the many anti-tobacco moves in this country over the last few decades has so much as rattled a proverbial teacup, save the odd public smoking ban defeat or repeal. Everybody will roll over and act grateful. But I do suspect underground...

    Menthol: Mystery Ingredient In Cigarettes Enters The Spotlight : NPR Among the piece's quotes "Young people seem to gravitate to menthol-flavored cigarettes..." Really? Always? (What part of "gravitate" am I misunderstanding?) If the FDA is thinking as fuzzily as the language of this...
