    Vision Nano clearomizer - refilling question

    Is there some trick to refilling these things to prevent liquid from seeping out the bottom hole? I'm not getting any liquid in the little metal air flow tube and I'm not delaying in putting the mouth piece back on after filling. But while I'm refilling, if I don't plug that bottom hole with my...

    Anyone here still use their 510??

    I still love my Joye 510! I started out with a DSE901 and quickly switched to the 510. That's what I've been using for about three years now. My standard setup is a 510 battery, 510 atomizer w/DSE901 flat tip cartridge on it. For a little vaping variety, I also use 306 atomizers (for dripping...

    Nicotine and Insurance Companies

    I've never had to do a blood test for health insurance, but life insurance companies are a different story. They test you for cotinine (a metabolite of nicotine), which shows up whether someone is a smoker, a user of chewing tobacco, a user of snus, a vaper, or a user of any pharmaceutical NRTs...

    Chest Infections - informal poll

    Since quitting smoking/starting vaping, I haven't noticed any real decline in the number or colds or cold-type viruses I get, but I have definitely noticed that my colds are shorter lived and don't move down to my chest anymore. They stay put in my head/throat and run their course in an average...

    side effect?

    Burning behind breastbone definitely sounds like acid reflux. Whether or not vaping could contribute to it, I don't know, but I can tell you that in the first several months after I quit smoking, I had terrible acid reflux. Then it went away. Well, it didn't go away completely because I'd had...

    Does Nicotine Constrict Blood Vessels?

    in the first few weeks after I quit smoking, I was cold all the time. I think it's just one of the many unpleasant things you experience while detoxing from cigarettes.

    Teeth Pain

    I know this thread was started a while ago, but it seems like it's an on-going issue for some so I thought I'd add to it. I've been vaping for over two years and my front teeth often ache. I'm pretty sure it's from the constant sucking motion. I don't chomp down on my ecig or hold it in my...

    clip for battery or carto?

    I'm not aware of any pocket clips made or sold specifically for an ecig, but you'll find a lot of great clip suggestions in this thread — everything from mechanical pencil clips, small screwdriver clips, tire gauge clips, even a modified pen cap.

    I am diabetic and have seen my glucose rise a bit. Has anyone else had this happen?

    ddavis, you might be interested in this. Here's a report from WebMD about glucose levels being affected by quitting smoking... "smokers who quit had a 70% higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the first six years after quitting than people who had never smoked" "new quitters had...

    Smokers Stink - The residual smell

    Even after not having a cigarette for over two years, I still love the smell of someone smoking. But that lingering stale smokey smell... eeww. I didn't like it as a smoker either — used to hate when I could smell it on myself! It really clings to some people more than others, though. I think...

    “Study finds e-cigarettes affect airways, and quickly”

    Negative ecig studies have a habit of being really flimsy — poor methodology, vague results, and yet they spread like wildfire across the internet. It's incredibly frustrating to those of us that know we're healthier since switching from smoking tobacco cigarettes to vaping electronic...

    Heartburn

    I have a long history of acid reflux and when I quit smoking, it got A LOT worse for a few months. It eventually calmed down, though. Hang in there. It'll get better!

    Healthy lungs

    I don't think anyone means to suggest that vaping heals your lungs. The reason switching from smoking to vaping has a positive affect on health is because the person isn't smoking anymore (or if they are, they're at least smoking a lot less). So what happens to your body after you quit smoking...

    Switching to Decaf?

    I don't think it's a good comparison because most vapers use some level of nicotine in their ecigs, don't they? Some people reduce down to zero, but most seem to find a level that works and stick with it. So we're not exactly switching to "de-nic" version of cigarettes, we're switching to a...

    John Stossel gives ecigs national stage

    I'm not so sure about that. Just because they want to tax them doesn't mean they magically can. As electronic cigarettes gain more positive momentum because it actually helps people to stop smoking, it'll be difficult to drop a sin tax on them. It's also not an easy device to stick a tax on...

    NY Times: good article

    So refreshing to see an unbiased article about ecigs from a mainstream news source. I've been pimping the link to it all over the place!

    Carrie Fisher/ecig

    Ha! Cool (just watched the video). I saw Carrie Fisher at a sci fi convention in September and she took a few puffs from an ecig while on stage.

    Insulin Resistance and NRTs

    Reporting back because I asked my doctor about this today. He hadn't heard about the study, but based on his own experience with patients smoking and non-smoking patients, he's never seen any indication of a direct correlation between nicotine use and insulin resistance.

    Anxiety + Higher Blood Pressure

    Your body (and brain chemistry) are going through a very trying time right now. If you're prone to anxiety, it's going to rear it's head more than usual for a while. I went through quite an anxiety/depression roller coaster for a few months after I quit smoking and started vaping. Fortunately...

    Vaping & Panic Attacks

    Just echoing what everyone else has said: too much nicotine can definitely kick in panic feelings just like caffeine. If it happens, you should probably drop down to a lower strength (I find it's easier to lower the nicotine level than to worry about how often you vape). I don't know why you'd...
