    Aerotank- Maybe The Best Clearo EVER!

    You can dry-burn the heck out of that to get it back shiny and new(ish) again :) Most of my heads look like that after a couple of tanks.

    DNA20 finally cloned? The YiHi SX450

    To heck with the price!! It comes in a 'hard&shining white box'!!! :D *Edit* oh, and apparently 30 watts is already in the bag via a software update...

    Please contribute and/or spread the word about Dr. Farsalinos' new study!

    Yay! for the contribution - don't be dismayed though - Dr. F has already done plenty of testing on vapour - that's what's prompted this study - he's found some components in liquid (and presumably vapour) in his previous studies that are a cause of (mild) concern to him - now he's looking to see...

    Prescription Nebulizer--hack it?

    Holy crap! Is that how much they cost??? I was actually thinking of modelling the plastic parts in a 3D package and freely distributing the designs as .STLs so people could 3D-print them - I was going to brand the Nicorette inhaler 'Nicolette' :D

    Prescription Nebulizer--hack it?

    Funny you should mention that - I had some ideas recently for some 'stealth vaping devices' - one of which was a modded asthma inhaler (18350 battery, fake metal cap, inhaler body, eGo-C atomizer and some sort of tank) - also Joyetech could easily turn the eRoll into a pen (pen tip battery...

    I must be missing something.

    We have a bizarre market force going on at the moment where the Chinese seem to be embracing new ideas based on what the vaping community is doing without asking whether it's something its customers actually want or need. A good example was the tuning of PVs to mean rather than RMS and some...

    Big Tobacco and E-Cigs... A Winning Combination

    In my opinion, two (and only two) good things can come of BT involvement in e-cigs: 1) They'll fight some of our legal battles for us (caveat: only the ones that protect the market they're interested in i.e. disposables and cigalikes with disposable cartos). 2) The moment Phillip Morris has an...

    Cotton Wicking Question... A simple one this time

    I've been using cotton from some supermarket q-tips (or as we call 'em - 'cotton buds' :)) - it's 100% cotton and the first time I tried it without boiling it was... ok - but definitely tasted of something - linen-like maybe? So I pulled a bunch of cotton off the buds and boiled it for 10-15...

    Feeling like ive stopped...but not stopped?

    I agree with you - the potential health gains are huge and the apparent risks seem minimal - that's not the same as no risk though - but neither is it so great a risk that non-vapers should be concerned (in my opinion) - if more of the public knew the truth about vaping then I think (in the UK...

    Feeling like ive stopped...but not stopped?

    Diacetyl has already caused a scare since it's harmful to inhale and creates the condition known as 'popcorn lung' - that said, the industry is aware of it, and safety-conscious e-liquid manufacturers will be avoiding it in their products (cinnamaldehyde was another) - other chemicals and...

    Feeling like ive stopped...but not stopped?

    Congrats on the switch and best of luck with it! And yes, many of us share your frustration - the craziest news I've heard this week is that Sweden (the EU member-state with the lowest smoking-rate in the world thanks to snus) has been blocking shipments of e-cigarettes into the country - when a...

    Feeling like ive stopped...but not stopped?

    Ok, firstly it isn't water vapour - it's mostly PG/VG mist, some water, some food flavourings and maybe small amounts of nicotine (plus whatever else you've got in your lungs that decides to hitch a ride ;)) Is it harmful? To you, unlikely (and much, much safer than smoking) - to bystanders...

    Feeling like ive stopped...but not stopped?

    The EU can't ban them, it couldn't even get them classified as medical devices, what they have done is propose some clumsy regulations based on the lobbying of BT/BP (particularly with regard to the toxicity of nicotine) and their own misinterpretation of the (unbiased) scientific studies put...

    New to vaping (and didn't smoke before), how to tell when I've had too much?

    To answer your original question, symptoms of nicotine overdose: Nausea Vomiting ........ Stomach pains Cold sweats Headache Dizziness Hearing or vision problems Confusion Chest pain Uneven or racing heartbeat Seizures

    Feeling like ive stopped...but not stopped?

    Well that's down to the owners of the bar, and to be honest, I'm fine with that - they should be able to make their own policy about vaping based on what they feel is best for their business. And since it's their policy (not the government's) they can change it if they choose to - if you'd like...

    Feeling like ive stopped...but not stopped?

    The UK government has actually made very little noise about where we should and shouldn't vape - in fact, it's perfectly legal to vape on buses and the London Underground (staff however, aren't permitted) - private businesses are free to make their own rulings about e-cigarettes on their...

    Feeling like ive stopped...but not stopped?

    Actually, that's the one area where the UK government has surprised me - as NRTs they're going to make very little tax revenue from e-cigs (5% tax I believe - less than the 20% you're paying now) - the downside is that e-cigarettes as we know and love them may not fit the criteria of what the...

    Had KangerTech Evod less than 2 days and already have problems

    The Kanger heads are pretty susceptible to flooding with thin liquids and dry hits with thicker ones. 70/30-50/50 PG/VG mixes seem to be the sweet spot - thinner than that and you'll get gurgles, thicker and you'll need to remove one or both of the flavour wicks to prevent dry hits. Since you're...

    Feeling like ive stopped...but not stopped?

    All e-cigarettes. Unless something's changed since that House of Lords meeting, the government seemed hell-bent on the MHRA regulating the e-cig market. On the one hand, it does mean that e-cigs won't be taxed like tobacco in the UK (NRTs actually have a lower rate of tax than consumer products)...

    Feeling like ive stopped...but not stopped?

    Actually, the UK government has stated its intention to regulate e-cigarettes as NRT products with the MHRA being the regulatory body. This is sadly possible since, whilst the EU was defeated in its attempt to classify e-cigs as medical devices, they've left it up to individual member states to...
