    Poisonings From E-Cigarette Liquid Up Sharply

    Yes, fear sells. I wouldn't suggest that everyone in the media is involved in a grand conspiracy to sour the public on nicotine; they're just eager dupes. Insinuating that your child may be subject to a new and dire threat is a great way to get you to sit through the next commercial break...

    is vaping harmful for babies

    I suggest you sit down and think real hard about what you wrote is even supposed to mean, before you even consider whether or not it's accurate. Define nicotine addiction first; move on from there.

    is vaping harmful for babies

    If there's any chance at all that second-hand vapor will harm your children, that chance is infinitesimally small. There are countless things your child is likely to encounter on a daily basis that are far more dangerous than vapor. But I can't tell you you're wrong if you decide not to vape...

    @mostlyclassics - Brilliant summary.

    My vaping experience, consequences of too much vaping

    "Socially limiting?" By that are you (redundantly) referring to the anxiety you mention in the same breath, or are you referring to something else? I'm curious.

    Poisonings From E-Cigarette Liquid Up Sharply

    And therein lies the beauty: the more scare-mongering crap the media prints about ecigs and e-liquid, the more people who don't know any better will find themselves reaching for the phone to call poison control for clarification. Self-fulfillment: the perfect compliment to self-importance.

    Just had my CO2 levels retested after almost 10 months of vaping

    Congrats on the test results, and kudos for keeping your cool and patiently arguing your position. Me? I woulda just called her a pharmaceutical company shill and walked out. She's getting paid to advocate an irrational and frankly abhorrent position; you're not getting paid to endure her...

    E-Cigs By Prescription Only? Fox News

    O'Reilly's a Truman Democrat with a nasty puritanical streak. Unfortunately, he represents the unprincipled (and by extension, often authoritarian) viewpoint of millions upon millions of (generally older) voters, and hundreds if not thousands of Republican politicians and power brokers. Bill...

    Inhaling METAL??? I'm soooo worried..

    The statement is poorly written, no doubt, but Morpheus' interpretation appears to be correct: Talbot fired the ecig to vaporize the liquid, then funneled the vapor into a centrifuge. If she had put the liquid, unvaporized, into the centrifuge, then her comments about different heating elements...

    Another dump on our parade via the media.

    Ha, I didn't know that. They really need to bring back Gretchen Carlson, by the way. Hasselbeck's voice is like nails on a chalkboard -- and she's way too thin. Every time I pass the TV in the morning I feel compelled to shout, "Get that woman a sandwich!"

    Another dump on our parade via the media.

    They had a report on the morning show the other day that annoyed the crap out of me too. Hasselbeck shaking her head and waxing maudlin about children and flavorings, because she (and her ilk) have to fill 4+ hours of time talking about dozens subjects with which she only has the scarcest...

    Protank Cotton Rebuild, the way I do it

    So I spent the last month or so experimenting with protank coils, thanks in large part to this thread -- and I would be remiss if I failed to mention the infectious enthusiasm of Frédéric Bastiat MacTechVpr, whose posts on this and other subjects I've long admired. At first, I had nothing but...

    Another dump on our parade via the media.

    The comments are pretty depressing too. Every time someone points out (correctly) that the number of reported nicotine poisonings is absolutely miniscule in the grand scheme, some blowhard chimes in with, "E-liquid is worse because it comes in fruit flavors!" And then these same blowhards pat...

    Anybody keep a spreadsheet??

    Yeah, I made a spreadsheet about a month into my little vaping adventure to record all of my expenses (including juice) and to compare them to what I would have spent on cigarettes. So far, I'm a little more than $2,000 ahead. At first, the spreadsheet was a nice little supplemental activity...

    ALL VAPERS look at this pic! what do you think?

    Sadly, my repeating your claim won't make it true. We have plenty of data to suggest that e-cigs pose no more threat than any other day-to-day activity you might casually perform. What we don't have is an iron-clad guarantee that there won't arise some obscure, long-term, and frankly...

    "But what about the children Klaus? Do you not care about the children?"

    Except that there's no compelling evidence to suggest that a so-called nicotine addiction is an intrinsically bad thing. People like to throw that word around, "addiction," as if it were an unassailable indictment, when in reality there isn't even a clear, scientific definition for it. Is it...

    The Moral Panic Over E-Cigarettes Intensifies

    He also wants to triple my property taxes. The Philadelphia school system's been a controversy-embroiled disaster for years; apparently fixing it is my problem, even as the corrupt architects of the sad situation float to safety with the aid of silver parachutes. Happily, his brazenly...

    "But what about the children Klaus? Do you not care about the children?"

    Perhaps ironically, you could even call it "The Plague," and young people would expend less effort to avoid it than they would if you told them it's perfectly safe. ;)

    taxation fears

    If we're lucky it'll be equal to the tax on a pack of cigarettes. On the other hand, if the state uses cigalike manufacturers' marketing claims ("This 1ml carto corresponds to 1 or even 2 packs of cigarettes!"), then vaping will become far more expensive than smoking. Score one for the...
