    To the lurkers.

    I think I've been lurking since 2009...

    VaporShark rDNA

    I picked up a DNA30 just because of that price point!! Still waiting on my rDNA40. Having trouble waiting, but still waiting.

    Attempting to attain an authentic Kayfun V4.

    I've been looking for one myself. Why doesn't SvoeMesto ship to the US!?

    Swollen tonsils, loss of flavor

    I'd also posit that being you've only vaped for a couple weeks, you're going through tobacco withdrawal. Check out section 2 of this post. The flavor loss is likely attributable to "vaper's tongue."

    Autoimmune diseases and electronic cigarettes.

    I've read and heard many times that nicotine is bad for Crohn's and helpful for Ulcerative Colitis. I don't have either (I have IBS which is a functional disorder unlike Crohn's and UC which are IBDs) so I can't confirm any of this. Maybe the nicotine in e-cigs is contributing to your flare-up...

    Do you know what Propylene Glycol is?

    This topic has come up a million times in this forum and others. The simple fact is that PG is in many, many products we use today. PG is also in analog cigarettes. There is likely no issue with PG and most people's bodies. There won't likely be an issue long term either. The thing you should...

    Nictoine possibly showing decreased lung function in decendants

    Seriously! That stuff IS poison. This is the first generation to regularly eat "foods" that we can't produce in our own homes, often with names we can't pronounce. That ....'s gonna have profound epigenetic effects!! Autism anyone?

    Went to the Dr's today

    When vaping was bothering me, I got rid of flavored juices. The flavoring seems to cause most of my problems. I now use ECOPure exclusively. Only flavoring in that is ethyl maltol and that doesn't seem to cause me issue.

    Nictoine possibly showing decreased lung function in decendants

    That was interesting. Epigenetics is a fascinating emerging science. I'd like to see the text of the study before I reduce my love of nicotine though. :-)

    We are vaping Astroglide! TMI ahead, you have been warned.

    Lube is so much better with nicotine in it!

    Shooting pains in fingers and toes

    I have an hereditary neuropathy (nerve damage) and that's basically what it feels like. I don't get it from vaping, I get it from bad genetics. I actually find the moderate vaping helps reduce those shooting pains for me. Smoking did as well, so likely the nicotine helped somehow. In fact, there...

    Electronic cigarettes do not damage the heart

    Interesting reads! Thanks for the links. I agree with rolygate though. Even multiple studies do not a fact make... But thanks for the link!

    Kidney Pain unbearable

    Seriously. We eat poison daily but rarely blame GMO foods, excess sugar and salt, lack of exercise, over-working, information overload, chronic stress, or toxic FDA approved drugs for our ills. Our culture has "approved" of those things so we never even think to question... I'll take nicotine...

    "Popcorn Lung" would suck to have but still sounds pretty damn funny!

    Can I get throat/lung infections if I don't clean my gear properly?

    I use Isopropyl alcohol too (90%) with a long hot water bath to flush it out. I don't use atty's until they've dried for more than 24 hours after cleaning. Works well for me. ;-)

    If possible, I need info on suppliers that provide juice that is regulated and\or tested by 3rd party

    Johnson's is too heavily flavored for me. I put my trust in ECOPure these days. A Good UK brand with plenty of testing and very few ingredients.

    Hensei's medical journal [throat issues]

    I don't know if the medical industry in Finland is anything like the medical industry in the US but it sure sounds like it is... "Umm... Yeah... We're not sure what's wrong but here's a bunch of pills. Try this out for a while, maybe it'll help..." If it doesn't, I'm sure they got a bunch more...

    Upper respiratory tract infection.

    That sounds like influenza my friend... Viral, not bacterial. The high fever, muscle aches, and duration give it away. You should still wash your drip tips more often though. :-)

    AVA *****MADE IN THE USA****** $49,95 Atomizers

    I rinse in isopropyl alcohol then flush liberally with hot water. I leave them to air dry for 24 hours and that seems to work well. I believe you can boil these as well but I've never tried it. I imagine an ultrasonic cleaner would work great but I haven't used my ultrasonic ever since I...
