    Question for those who think we should not vape where we can not smoke...

    I think the biggest problem is that vaping is being banned right now based on bad science, political and financial agendas and statements such as this: There seems to be a rush on the part of many politicians to get legislation through based on the premise that vaping is as undesirable as...

    Lol! I'll definitely have to look into it now - just for the 'ewww' factor :D

    The global battle over e-cigarettes

    I'm of two minds on the whole advertising thing - personally I feel that e-cigs should be marketed as any other lifestyle choice - Pepsi or Coke? Blu or Green Smoke? However, ECITA in this case would seem to be keen on e-cigs specifically targeting smokers that want a healthier alternative or a...

    Are you weening down? Why not?

    Yes, the behaviour is very much part of the addiction to me - on previous quit attempts I've tried patches (useless for me), gum (better, but still not enough to get me off cigarettes) and finally e-cigs which honestly, apart from a few times in my first week where I missed the action of rolling...

    Question for those who think we should not vape where we can not smoke...

    We each make our own judgements based on the evidence available to us - certainly the Drexel study (amongst others) is sufficient for me to continue to vape in the belief that the risks suggested by other parties have been overstated and that what I'm doing now is far healthier than what I was...

    Question for those who think we should not vape where we can not smoke...

    I agree - vaping isn't smoking and vapers voluntarily submitting themselves to the pariah-like status smokers now have is just denormalizing vaping and helping the people that despise us the most. I don't advocate anyone breaking the law and if there are regulations in place either on public or...

    Why the FDA can NOT make illegal E-Cigs (false concern), Usage Bans in Public are the REAL problem

    Maybe you're like me and hoping all that smartness will rub off on you? :D

    Are you weening down? Why not?

    I think that's a very extreme way to look at addiction (not wrong, just extreme) - I recognise the addictive effect nicotine has on me - if I'm getting low on e-liquid I get stressed about it because I don't want to run out. If I can't vape for whatever reason and I want to I'll get distracted...

    Question for those who think we should not vape where we can not smoke...

    They simply used all the available data they had with only the above mentioned study excluded for the reasons stated. The researchers can't testify to the competence of those that performed the testing so they've erred on the side of caution which I think is probably wise. Even so, their...

    Bountiful, Utah e-cigarette shops have business licenses revoked for 2014

    Awful for those shop owners! 5 days notice? Merry Christmas indeed :(

    Why do disposables seem to taste tremendously cleaner?

    Some vapers feel that cartos provide more flavour than other methods of vaping - Pbusardo theorised that it might be something to do with the vapour travelling through the filler material and 'inheriting' more taste than you get with other methods. I have to say that since I started I've yet to...

    NYC bans ecigs indoors. The mind boggles.

    Hmm... I can't seem to see the US site (just keep getting redirected to the UK one) and there's no mention of their political outreach organization on there - still, I'm always happy to be proven wrong about the corporate world and I hope they continue to be invested in the interests of all...

    I *hate* the inconsistency of the eGo-C attys :(

    Thanks patkin - and yeah, the eRoll is pretty much my main vape at the moment so I may be using it more than some hence the issues I'm having with the attys. Flavour-wise though, I haven't been disappointed (although I know there's better products out there for a 'proper' vape) - it's fine for...

    I *hate* the inconsistency of the eGo-C attys :(

    Yes! That's exactly it - if the eGo attys weren't so hit-and-miss the eRoll would be a damn near perfect out and about vape for me. I don't mind doing the cleaning but it seems some attys are just useless from the get go - I think I'm going to get another pack of 5 and put SS wicks in all of...

    NYC bans ecigs indoors. The mind boggles.

    I can't know what a company like V2 would do in terms of protecting its market share and yes, you're right of course - they do offer more than just batteries and pre-filled cartos - the question is rather, would V2 be content with selling just batteries and pre-filled cartos rather than...

    GREAT article on the toxicity of nicotine!!

    You're very welcome! Credit where it's due though, I get a lot of the stuff I post here from Clive Bate's Twitter feed here :) Very true, but using science that's 150 years out of date to regulate e-cigarette nicotine levels when we all know that heavy smokers might need 2.4% strengths and up...
