    Sleeping issues and drowsiness?

    Absolutely, vaping is far better no matter what. Lower nicotine is going to have less throat hit however. You could try a menthol vape. Yeah I know, I was never a menthol smoker and so was never interested in vaping menthol either. Finally I got curious and decided to try it - well, I'm...

    Hiya MT. I've just ordered a swag of Protank type clones from FT to try. Some of them are real cheapies, some are real efforts at a clone.

    Sleeping issues and drowsiness?

    Coffee is great but I really can't recommend it as another chemical dependency. I get monster headaches if I don't get my java. The fact that you're having such vivid dreams seems to indicate that you are going to bed heavily nic'd. The vivid dreaming is interesting and all, but it doesn't...

    Sleeping issues and drowsiness?

    Good move, vaping less nicotine from late afternoon on may help you. Are you a coffee drinker? Some people find that they tolerate coffee less after they give up smoking, so you might want to throttle that back as well. Don't cut it out altogether though, otherwise you'll just finish up with...

    Sometimes (very often) when it says "sent to overseas country" what it really means is that all the mail is sitting in a crate waiting for some space on a plane. 'Round about that time they HUGE backlogs of mail being processed due to a Chinese holiday, plus holdups in customs, they may still...

    Time to open a support ticket, for sure. It sounds like some naughty postal worker swiped your Vamo. You should have had it last month, absolutely. Just be polite and let them investigate it. I've heard of good things from FT in these cases. ;)

    Comment by 'fabricator4' in 'Bottom Coil Clearomizers'

    That's great! I agree it would have been a shame to put the Evods to one side. As well as not getting a sore throat you should be finding that the heads are lasting a lot longer for you. Very pleased I could help.

    N00b question - Ecigarettes produce only water vapor?

    No, you are 100% correct. Whatever you have in your tank/clearo/atty is what comes out of the mouthpiece. PG/VG/Flavours. You are correct that the PG and VG will collect moisture because they will strongly attract and hold water molecules. The vapour from PG and VG would be fairly invisible...

    More than I can chew?

    I think the battery question has been answered (AW IMR batteries :thumbs:) For the Protanks I'd recommend 2.2 ohm heads, because it gives you a great balance. It will be vaping around 6.5 watts at 3.8 volts. With a fresh battery you can take shorter puffs, or pulse the fire button. It's a...

    Doubts over the safety of NET E-liquids

    It was mentioned, though I didn't specifically raise the issue in my OP. The problem with cinnamaldehyde is shown to be a lot less, almost marginal, by this rather well designed test. It's good to know about it and I have some concentrate here because I was intending to do a DIY "Christmas...

    Doubts over the safety of NET E-liquids

    I agree it would be good to get a professional interpretation especially about the likelyhood of WTAs and TSNs in NETs. Agreed. It's good to have valid discussion on the subject, I want as much information as I can. Funny really, I didn't give a s**t when I was smoking. :blink:

    Doubts over the safety of NET E-liquids

    I'm not sure, but they all seem to processed with a salt and an alkaline (sodium bicarb). Swedish snus *used* to be processed with corn starch as well but that was taken out because it was causing dental problems. Starch-->Sugars-->tooth decay. You could also say that "Swedish" denotes the...

    Doubts over the safety of NET E-liquids

    I'd question that. It's proving difficult to eliminate nitrosamine from supposedly pure medical grade nicotine, and this is why it's still showing up in e-liquid and NRT products albeit in minuscule amounts. If someone produces a NET and it tests negative for nitrosamine, my response is "look...

    Doubts over the safety of NET E-liquids

[Lancet. 2007] - PubMed - NCBI In short, there's no increased risk of mouth or lung cancer, but approximately double the risk of pancreatic cancer. It's still far safer than smoking tobacco in this regards, plus it does...

    Doubts over the safety of NET E-liquids

    Just for clarification, Dr Farsalinos' test says absolutely nothing about the carcinogenic or mutagenic properties of NETs. It wasn't in the scope of the tests. Having said that I do have the same reservations about NETs; Is there much difference between a NET and chewing tobacco or snuff? My...

    Doubts over the safety of NET E-liquids

    Yep, as a smoker I used to say the exact same thing. "Gotta die of something" "Life is a terminal disease" "Could get run over by a bus tomorrow" "Might as well enjoy it..." So why do we give up smoking and start vaping? Because it's cheaper? Most of us spend more on vaping in the first six...

    Newbie, when to stop vaping concerns...

    Yes this is an old thread, and funny to look back on now. I believe that vapers struggling with addiction to smoking have a much better understanding of their own addiction than almost anyone else. Unfortunately it's only by winning the struggle that we come to full knowledge. Catch 22...

    Doubts over the safety of NET E-liquids

    True, that would eliminate the issues of pesticides, however the paper also points out that the compound that produced the negative results could be from cured tobacco compared to unprocessed. Again, common sense seems to be possibly pointing to the presence of pesticides, but I don't believe...

    Doubts over the safety of NET E-liquids

    You mean, like nicotine? :lol: Oh the irony. Nicotine was banned for use as a pesticide years ago because of it's supposed toxicity and the fact that it's addictive. It was usually sprayed direct at about 10mg/ml, suspended in PG. Actually that's not so different from the stuff I inhale...
