    Still smoking analogs? Something that you might not know...

    Wow! I noticed that the last couple of years I smoked, more impact on my lungs in terms of morning hacking and even the odd wheeze. I chalked it up to having to change brands when they stopped making Rothman's Reserve and I switched to the "cheapies" - Canadian Classic. I also thought it might...

    cracked under stress

    Just realized you were talking about California (CA) legal bar exam, not Chartered Accountant (CA - Canadian CPA) exam - thought calling the final the bar a little odd (lol), but immediately felt empathy for what you were going through. The advice still holds though, so here you go. Hey...

    Winning

    Well done! Remember though, if you slip, don't beat yourself up - just fill a fresh clearo/carto/device of choice and start vaping again. Cheers!

    Itaste SVD

    I recently went through the research to find a mod that would suit me. I'm female and petite. I really liked the look of the SVD, but it is quite heavy and I didn't like the way the raised border around the screen felt when I held it and tried "vaping positions". What I did buy was a stainless...

    What was your transition from smoking to vaping like?

    About a year and a half ago I bought an NV cig-a-like set up from the drugstore. I'm in Canada so the pre-filled cartos didn't contain nicotine. Even then, I had no intention to quit smoking, just cut back a bit. Well, they didn't really do anything for me. They were ok in a pinch - intermission...

    VW PV not reading my clearos

    Went to my local B&M and they showed me how to carefully raise the pin by gently prying at the edges with a jewelers screwdriver.

    Heartland Institute - Interesting source of articles

    This may be old hat to some of you, but this is the first time I've come across this resource. I like the attitude of "free market solutions to social issues". Research & Commentary: The Emergence of E-Cigarettes | Heartland Institute

    VW PV not reading my clearos

    I do have an adapter that I bought so that I could use my T3S on my zmax. I tried all of the clearos with that and I was still getting those readings. I searched raising the center pin and people talk about doing it, but don't say how. Could anyone please explain just how to do that. I did...

    VW PV not reading my clearos

    All of a sudden I'm getting ohm readings of either 0.0 or 9.9 ohms on my zmax mini no matter which of my clearos (protank, iclear 16, vivi nova) I try on it. So of course it won't fire. Has anyone else experienced this? Any quick fixes?

    Spinoff: Does anybody else just hate videos, period?

    I enjoy both video and written reviews. Having said that, if I'm researching something and need to make quick comparisons, the videos can some times be excruciatingly slow to get to the point. If the videos had a brief written point form summary attached - that would be my ideal. Quick check...

    Why "analogs?"

    Analog is shorter to type than cigarette - but "cigs" is even shorter?

    The Community Safety Factor

    What a great essay! I had no idea when I started vaping that I would find myself a member of a community that so closely aligns with my world view.

    Removing the smoke smell

    Leave a small bowl of vinegar sitting on the floor overnight. The next morning, just air the car out and your smoke smell should be gone.

    Anyone planning to go to VapeCan 2013 (Aug 9-10)?

    I'm on the west coast, but have a bunch of air miles building up so was thinking of attending. I don't really know anyone in the GTA so was wondering if any of the ECF gang would be there.

    New from Canada

    Welcome, fellow Canadian! There is a lot take in when you first start out down this path, but it gets easier as you go along. Congrats on taking the plunge!

    I Dont Plan On Breaking My Addiction

    Smoked for 40 years and never even tried to quit. In terms of vaping, I didn't have the intention to quit the analogs - just hoping to reduce the number per day (I was close to 2 PAD). After a few days vaping, I just stopped smoking analogs. It's been six weeks today. I vape 18mg and may reduce...

    Bittersweet

    If you have any buddies with hunting or tracking dogs, it might be worth a try to get one of the dogs to smell the juice you were using and send them out to "find it". Nose work has gotten really popular as a fun sport these days, so there are a lot of "regular" dogs out there who have that...

    Thrifty... or Hoarding!?!?

    Glad you posted this. I too have a collection that is waiting to be soaked and cleaned. Given the backlog of chores around my house, who knows how long they'll be sitting there!
