    129 Scientists ask UN health group for strict rules on e-cigarettes

    Hey yes! When are we going to get together a class action suit against the FDA, Heath Canada, sundry ANTZ etc for delaying our switch away from combustible tobacco to vapour because of their scare tactics. I could have been a non-smoker at least a year and a half earlier!

    Signatures have disappeared

    I tried logging out and back in - still no signature block. It's not showing up on past posts and it appears to be system wide.

    Going to Montreal, any vape shops around St Catherines?

    If you haven't already come and gone, La Vape shop was a big hit at the CanVape event last year. P. Busardo and Zen were both very impressed with their juice.

    Just had to share this ...

    … ironic story. I was vaping out in the smoking area at work - which incidentally is out front on the "street" side of the building. I had one of those intense days where a lot was going on, so I was madly puffing away, striding back and forth as I thought through stuff. All of a sudden this...

    E-cig poll in the Sun

    Vaping: The battle for acceptance is rising | Toronto Star Positive, although not completely accurate article in the Star (what newspaper article doesn't have inaccuracies :D). The poll could use some more vapers to weigh in - the tally is currently: Yes, we really don't know how safe...

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

    My doctor was very interested when I told that her that I had quit and took notes when I was explaining about vaping. The dental hygienist was also pleased to note that I am not building up tartar as fast, and that not only had the pockets in my gums not deepened, but one had improved by 1mm and...

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

    We have these annual biomedical screening clinics once a year at work testing blood pressure, non-fasting Cholesterol, BMI and just for smokers CO2 levels - part of our "Healthy Workforce" initiative. Last year, while I was still smoking 2 PAD, my exhaled CO2 level was 45 ppm. Today the reading...

    Do you vape with smokers?

    I still go out to the smoking area at work and, as it is in the fresh air, the second hand smoke doesn't bother me at all. I certainly notice the smell now but its not unreasonable. Quite a few of the gang have switched to vaping so there is a mix of scents in the air. I like the break from...

    While I'm waiting for the kettle to boil for that first cup of tea in the morning - within 10 minutes of getting up.

    Who among us have quit tobacco use by way of the e cig that DID NOT INTEND TO QUIT?

    Me too! 40 years of smoking - almost 2PAD. Just wanted to see if I could cut back to 10 a day. Started vaping - three days later - didn't bother to buy a new carton. That was almost 9 months ago.

    Ontario Ministry of Labour called upon for a ruling of unsafe work.

    Sounds like you did all you could and logic prevailed. Whew! Vape proud, but try not to run around with scissors, I mean, a mod in your hand - OK!

    Positive and Balanced article in the Globe and Mail

    I agree that the writer did get a little "flowery" with his language. I would say though, that we are fairly zealous in our defence of vaping. How else could such a tiny fraction of the population prevail in a democratic society? That we use fact and logic, in addition to anecdote, does not...

    iTaste VV 3 - Generic charging cord replacement?

    The retractable charging cord on one of my iTaste VV3s is no longer working. Does anyone know what the generic description is for the two cable ends? I'd like to try and find an appropriately ended cable from a local electronics store. I don't want a straight replacement from Innokin as I found...

    How many packs or cartons did you buy at a time?

    A carton every five days when the previous carton was down to two or three packages. Used to buy the premium stuff at CAD $108 per carton. When they stopped making Rothmans Reserve (my brand) I switched to the econo brand Canadian Classic Silver at CAD $87 a carton. After about a year of 2 PAD...

    ITV Tonight - The Rise of the E-Cigarette (2014)

    So I watched the Youtube version. The first thing that struck me was the error they made in identifying the components of a cig-a-like. They mixed up which piece was the battery and which was the cartridge. It made me wonder if their attention to detail in the balance of the show would be...

    Wisdom teeth- Yank!

    I had my wisdom teeth out about thirty years ago (I was in my mid-twenties) and no one thought to tell me ahead of time that you were not supposed to smoke after the operation (I was told I didn't "look" like a smoker - didn't know smokers had a "look"!). Mine were done under full anesthetic in...

    Dr. Polosa speaks out against Tobacco Control's (bad) attitude toward e-cigarettes

    "The results from the Monitoring the Future survey cast serious doubt on the hypothesis that e-cigarettes are promoting an alarming increase in youth smoking and, on the contrary, suggest that some youths who might have initiated tobacco smoking would have instead switched to e-cigarettes." I...
