    MD, DC, VA Vapers?

    I'm sure most Marylanders are already aware of this, but just in case, there is a bill in the house (House Bill 720) to ban the sale of electronic cigarettes. >> More info in this thread. Please write to your state delegates and senator and let them know you oppose this bill!

    Maryland about to ban sale of electronic cigarettes

    I sent off letters today to my state senator and delegates and I was surprised at how much good info I could pull out of my head. I really am an informed consumer when it comes to e-cigs! If any other Marylanders want to write but feel stumped about what to write, PM me and I'll be happy to...

    This stupid split lip just won't go away....

    Blistex Lip Medix (little blue jar). That's what I always reach for whenever my lips are painfully chapped/cracked.

    First analogue free day, with some side effects..

    Acid reflux and a sore throat often go hand in hand. I get both from time to time anyway, but when I first quit smoking and started vaping it was really bad for two weeks or so. I'm not sure which was a bigger factor, but it settled down eventually. If yours doesn't (or it starts to get worse)...

    effects of vaping on skin

    I think it's just the oils in your skin and has nothing to do with vaping. The same thing happens to my towel (but not my husband's) and it's been happening since long before I ever even heard of vaping. Not only can my skin darken a white towel, it bleaches a dark towel. My skin is apparently...

    What's your nic level?

    I started at 11mg and it was too weak so I moved up to 18-24mg. After a few months, I found myself at 11mg again. I'm now also use a half-mixture of 5.5mg about half the time. It just seems like my tolerance is dropping.

    Stop saying you quit smoking!

    Isn't it awesome? :) I feel the same way. I can sit in a restaurant and chit-chat without wishing the conversation would hurry up and end so I can get outside and smoke. I know it's giving me nicotine and I can tell that I still need that (and enjoy it), but it is such a different experience...

    So Frustrating when nonsmoking husband just dont understand...

    Even if you want to ween off nicotine, let your husband know that it usually takes months to do that. In fact, there are new studies now suggesting that people using the nicotine patch should use it for six months to increase the chance of staying off cigarettes. Here's a link to a CNN story...

    Forget all you've heard; hot tap water, blow dry, prime, DONE!

    Oh cool. I'll try that. With the current 510 atty crisis, I need a new method to try for reviving some old clogged-up atties. I've tried hot water soaks, alcohol soaks, but so far, I've had very little success. I'm going to get some Polident fizz tabs tomorrow and give your method a shot.

    why's it taste like that?

    For flavors, you can either buy other pre-filled cartridges (as far as I know though, there are very few flavor choices that way) or you can buy some e-liquid to put into your cartridge. There are vast choices when you go that route — choices in flavors and in nicotine strength. To refill a...

    Burnt taste with all my attys

    The burning metal mesh bridge that Sun diagnosed would definitely explain the metallic taste. What I'm wondering is if these are toxic fumes it gives off or just icky tasting. I got a severe headache the night I spent a couple hours trying to rid some new bad atties of this problem (wish I'd...

    510 atties w/horrible metallic taste

    Well, this method didn't really work. I got a few minutes of decent tasting vapor, but now I'm already getting a hint of the metallic ickiness coming back (it's only been about 10 minutes since I did the flush/burn thing. This is a bummer because I have no good atties now! *gulp* I think I'm...

    Stop saying you quit smoking!

    I completely agree. The general non-smoking public wants all smokers to stop smoking and when they see e-cigs as being a product that does that very well for most who try it (obviously this is my unscientific opinion based on experiences on this board), I think we'll have their support. I've...

    AAPHP to the FDA - Talking points discussion for comments submissions

    I went to sign the petitions, but it said there was an error after I submitted it. Grrrrrr. Anyone else run into any problems? I'm wondering if it doesn't work with Safari.

    510 atties w/horrible metallic taste

    Thank you very much for the step-by-step instructions, Col.Gaunt. I'm going to give that a try tonight and see if it does the trick. I'll report back later.

    Stop saying you quit smoking!

    Why is it wrong to say you quit smoking? That's exactly what I did and that's what I always tell people. I'm quite proud of it, in fact. Even with an e-cig, it was hell, but I freaking did it! :) I think the real problem lies in the confusion over quitting cigarettes vs quitting nicotine. I see...

    510 atties w/horrible metallic taste

    Is this an epidemic or is it just my bad luck? Of my last six atomizers, only two have been usable. The four bad ones had such a horrible metallic taste that I could not use them at all. I did all the usual stuff: blew out all the primer fluid, put a couple drops of e-liquid on the bridge, did...

    Nicotine absorption -- what's in your cup?

    Thanks, TV. Snus has been suggested to me by someone else on here before and I'm hesitant about it, but considering it. I'll take my questions about that to a snus thread, though, so I don't derail this one.

    Comments Please on AAPHP Petitions to FDA

    Actually, that's incorrect. The $1000 fine would be for sale or distribution. Possession and use of e-cigs would still be legal in Maryland even if the bill passes. Sorry for the OT post, but I wanted to clarify that. Carry on.

    class action against the FDA and Health Canada

    Sure, I'd be in for $10 if we can actually go somewhere with this. I don't think we can, though. Maybe money would be better spent on hiring a lobbyist to take the issue to capitol hill for us? I don't know the first thing about how that works, but thought I'd throw the idea out there in case...
