    So what are we addicted to anyway?

    Here's one for that list... :) Asphyxiation. I know for me, that the "feeling in my chest" told me it was time for a cigarette, more than the headache I would get if I hadn't smoked in a few days/hours. Cigarettes contain bronchio-dilators that open your chest up for about 2.5 minutes. When...

    The Anti-Smoker View on E-Cigs

    We all cheer here for the "harm reduction" aspects of e-cigarettes, We especially highlight the switch from tobacco cigarettes to e-cigarettes as being a most notable improvement. But then the anti-smokers say, "But what if people try this because they perceive it as less dangerous than real...

    What do you think is the best Tobacco liqiud ?

    My favorites are Johnson's Creek Tennesee Cured Tobacco and Totally-Wicked's Hilton. I agree that none of the tobacco flavors are really exactly 'like-smoke' but the JC tennesse cured has more of a smokey-ness than anything else I've tried.

    Only post once-How many have quit smoking

    3 weeks of e-cig and I was out of the analog game! After I finished the 2 packs I had on the day I purchased my 1st e-cig, I never went back and got another. Been 46 days now since my last inhalation of smoke, with the possible exception of toasty e-cig batting. :)

    Positive side effects of vaping

    Waldo, It is true that one needs to take care with nicotine fluid. However, it's not the amount of time you wait after refilling... Over time, liquid will naturally condense around the bin that holds the batting, leading straight to the mouthpiece. This can sometimes cause liquid to be...

    Miligram Confusion.

    And it's probably worth noting that they have NOT told you how much fluid is in the cart, just the concentration of nicotine in the fluid. An RN40811/super-mini takes about 6-7 drops A DSE-901/mini takes about 10 drops A DSE-801/penstyle takes about 15 drops

    Miligram Confusion.

    Typically, the measurement is in mg nicotine/milliliter fluid. Example: 11mg/1ml This means that in each milliliter of fluid, there is 11 milligrams of nicotine. A milliliter is about 15-20 drops of fluid. So there's about 11mg nicotine in 15-20 drops of fluid. But the strength isn't...

    Throat Hit Technique

    I have a SmokingEverywhere Gold (rn4081) and a TW 901. Regardless of device, I find I get more of a throat hit when I chest inhale vs. mouth inhale, so I agree that while equipment is part, technique has a big impact. When I'm holding my e-cig with my hand, I tend to mouth inhale. But holding...

    What did it take (or how long) for you to swear your loyalty to vaping?

    Hi all, Here's my experience: Was smoking 1-1.5 packs a day for about 18 yrs. The 1st 9 years I smoked Newport regulars, and the last 9 years I smoked non-menthol lights, either camels or marlboro light 72's. +1 week to prove it could deliver the "goods" -- I was still smoking 1-4 cigarettes...

    Alternative E-Liquids???

    I've tried the BlueBerry + Vitamin D carts from Smoking Everywhere. I also tried the Ginseng carts, which also may have been vitamin infused. Though they didn't indicate so on the box, the guy at the stand told me that they were 6mg (low) cartridges. And I think that's about right, based on...
