    Youtube reviews and subscriptions---who do you watch?

    For hardware reviews, Busardo by a country mile. If he doesn't have a video on the product in question, then I'll seek out Grimm, Todd, Riptrippers. For tutorials/general info, all of the above. Riptrippers seems to do the best coil-building tutorials. For entertainment value...

    Being the Devil's Advocate Here : If you are vaping with Nicotine juice, you ARE still a "smoker"..

    I suggest you spend some time contemplating what addiction means, and why you think nicotine addiction particularly is a bad thing, per se. Here's a nice little primer: Does ANYONE have a valid definition of “addiction”? | Anti-THR Lies and related topics Likewise, I'd suggest you make an...

    So what's the deal provarmy? (provari hype?)

    Poldiac in 18650 mode = 105 mm, or 4.13 inches, which means it's almost exactly the same length as a normal Provari when using a like battery and kicked. I was looking at side button mods, because those are what I prefer. YMMV. As for my alleged silliness, I said that a kicked mech isn't...

    So what's the deal provarmy? (provari hype?)

    I resisted buying a Provari for a long time, not because of the Provari's cost, but rather because I was happy with what I had. And as a general principle, at least with regard to vaping, I tend to value redundancy over reliability; that is, I'd generally rather have many cheap devices than one...

    Radio ad for volunteers for CDC study...anyone else hear this????

    Thanks. I've bookmarked this thread for future reference. Talk about poisoning the sample.

    Are e-liquids poisonous?

    Given that there are only two credible reports* of nicotine-poisoning-related death in recent memory, you're absolutely right: I'd be shocked if what you say proved to be accurate. Read yzer's numbers (or read this...

    Sales of "tanks and e-liquid" growing significantly faster than sales of "cigalikes"

    I gather Bill's on some sort of mailing list for tobacco-industry wonks. You don't have to believe Herzog's email if you don't want to, but I imagine there are sales' figures available to someone like Herzog that might come as a surprise to us. FWIW, I see the evidence all around us. It's...

    Sales of "tanks and e-liquid" growing significantly faster than sales of "cigalikes"

    Because: Emphasis mine. There was no article. And incidentally ... In other words, there is no conflict between the Forbes article you cited and Bill's post. Herzog never said that cigalikes weren't 85% of the market. She said that tanks and so forth are growing 2x faster than the...

    And here we go....twitter narc alert! Tweets to cops on guy vaping in a bar.

    Ah ha. My fault :) EDIT: So the one-L version seems to be a professional troll, a wanna-be shock-jock type.

    And here we go....twitter narc alert! Tweets to cops on guy vaping in a bar.

    Apparently, this @WolfCollin person's a 17 year-old teenager. Wouldn't overthink it; this is just the typical precocious-know-it-all-nonsense cultivated in schools these days.

    New York State S06939 - Prohibits sale of e-liquid

    I have sent the guy an email. It's one of countless emails and letters I've sent over the last several months, most of them probably in a futile effort, but hey, no harm in trying. This case seems to me to be worse than futile, though. The Hannon press release isn't just propaganda; it's...

    Will they just regulate E-juice or will they regulate PVs as well?

    I sure wish I could share your confidence.

    New York State S06939 - Prohibits sale of e-liquid

    It's a dark time. I don't expect that the bill linked in the OP will pass anytime soon, but the fact that idiot tyrants like this guy Hannon can even sniff a state senate seat boggles the mind. The e-cig struggle will be the least of our problems, if reasoning like his prevails.

    Acetyl Proprionyl, Diacetyl, Acetoine HELP

    Heh, no, it's not at all a straightforward process to nail down how much a vaper might inhale. Suffice to say that the number cited in this thread is troubling on its face. I was just curious. Certainly, the concentration of diacetyl found in the analysis is cause for concern -- cause...

    Acetyl Proprionyl, Diacetyl, Acetoine HELP

    Right, but leaving aside the decimal-point error discovered later, you're measuring the parts-per-billion of the liquid, and not the vapor, correct?

    MVP iclear 30 youre crazy if you dont agree

    I really wanted to like the iclear 30 too. It's not a bad clearo by any means, but I guess I found it at the wrong stage in my vaping journey; by the time I got around to the iclear30 stage, I was already accustomed to a clearo that (IMO) performs slightly better and is even easier to...

    Ohio Gov. Kasich proposes taxing e-cigs, increasing cigarette and OTP tax in budget

    Yeah, he's avoided the question, and the purely financial cast of his non-answer is quite disturbing: "I'm taxing e-cigs because it'll help me appeal to a wider segment of the voter base. I need to get revenue from somewhere, and the tiny minority of vaping voters don't matter enough for me to...

    E-cigarette forums are booming, but they’re doomed

    And it's a ridiculous law (or rule, as the case may be), based on the brazenly anti-rational premise that smoking is a disease rather than a harmful habit. Yes, it makes sense that vendors of unregulated consumer products should be disallowed from making affirmative health claims ("eating this...

    This week's e-cig horror story on the local news.

    Or that Glantz studies are excrement products because they come from a raging bleephole. Oh wait. That reasoning actually works pretty well. Nevermind!
