    CDC looking for exsmokers who were dual users of e-cigs, smokeless tobacco or cigars and were diagnosed with serious health condition

    Duh. Third-hand smoke.

    The latest from a well-known nutjob

    ... Aaaaaand he gets paid to come up with nonsense like this. Nice work if you can get it. No wonder the hacks are so protective of the status quo.

    you can only bully people so much, can this be where we are heading?

    ... who were mobsters, in the Kennedys' case. ;)

    Very Offended

    Don't be offended. Tobacco use has always correlated with lower education in the general population. The problem is that our would-be overlords in the tobacco control industry misinterpret that phenomenon as proof that smokers (in this case, vapers) are too stupid to understand how to live...

    LOL. Thanks, I needed a laugh.

    House cleaning request (Bill, would you support?)

    ECF has a forum-specific search capability. It's just not all that grand. Will post a pic in a sec. (EDIT - done.)

    Protank Cotton Rebuild, the way I do it

    I know one thing: the Protank's frustratingly capricious resistance is the best argument I've yet seen in favor of variable-wattage devices over variable-voltage. And thanks for the kind words earlier, Mac. Sat down and wrapped 20-ish coils this weekend, all in a bunch, because I've finally...

    Delaware does it right... for now

    It's a beautiful lie. Since high school lasts for four years, at least three quarters of your sample will be in the data pool from year to year. A freshman who answers 'yes' to a question about having tried an ecig still counts as a yes when he's a Sophomore. If his buddy tries an ecig for...

    The word "stinkies"

    Yup -- well, basically: Online Etymology Dictionary

    opinions on wick

    No, you said that anyone who uses a cotton wick is definitely vaping decomposing cotton. You also insinuated that your opinion is a matter of fact. You made the first of those comments before anyone got contentious with you. The relevant quotes follow (posts 6 and 9):

    opinions on wick

    Boiling is the point at which the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to the pressure of the surrounding atmosphere. Boiling refers to the energy/speed of the particles throughout a liquid, whereas evaporation occurs at the surface. Evaporation requires less heat because the particles on the...

    opinions on wick

    Based on what little I could dig up on the subject, a human being sucking through a straw can create up to 1/4 of an atmosphere in negative pressure. Based on a little experimentation with a boiling point calculator (possibly even the same one dave linked to), that might reduce the boiling...

    opinions on wick

    The beautiful thing about hydrogen peroxide is that it naturally degrades into water and oxygen. So the concern with bleached organic cotton, as I understand it, isn't so much the hydrogen peroxide (which will almost certainly be gone before you buy the cotton); the concern is that trace...

    opinions on wick

    Perhaps, but no one here (except, perhaps, you) particularly cares whether a bunch of amateurs can assemble a precise and exhaustive description of the inner workings of an e-cig. The science, in this case, is already established; I'm vaping on the fruit of that established science right now...

    opinions on wick

    As I suspected, you commence with the nitpickery, no doubt in a futile effort to save face. That's cool, dude. We're all very impressed with your mastery of wikipedia -- but the fact remains that the FDA measured the temperature of an ecig coil and determined that the fairest approximation of...

    opinions on wick

    Well, given that we know you don't need to reach the boiling point of VG to vaporize e-liquid, I imagine the answer is some combination of air pressure, evaporation and an aerosol/misting effect. That is, when we draw air through the atomizer, we decrease the air pressure inside it, which...

    opinions on wick

    Yeah, the temperature doesn't start to leap up until towards the end of the video, when you can see the coils glow. According to Dave, the danger zone is ~150 degrees Celcius, which works out to about 302 degrees Farenheit. It's hard to say exactly when the coil becomes dry, because the guy...

    Acetyl Proprionyl, Diacetyl, Acetoine HELP

    First, we must define the terms of the malfeasance if we are to discuss this matter in good faith. If you're equating the inclusion of diacetyl in e-juice with the sale of fatty foods -- equating the potential harm of vaping diacetyl with the harm of eating a greasy cheeseburger -- then you and...

    So here's the problem with the media and America.

    Many of our friends who frequent the more popular sub-forums are hip deep in the soothing waters of a certain river in Egypt. They believe those of us who try to bring issues from this forum to the forefront are paranoid conspiracy theorists. To be informed on vaping is to be a crank. And the...

    Acetyl Proprionyl, Diacetyl, Acetoine HELP

    Collectively and over the long term, vaping vendors (of flavors, of juice, of hardware) don't have a reason knowingly to sell harmful ingredients/components and/or dangerously flawed designs. Even individually, a company as large as (for example) FlavorWest gains nothing by knowingly and...
