    New working paper by Philips, Nissen and Rodu - Must read.

    I can't speak for WharfRat1976, but my interpretation of that comment is a magnification of the expression "preaching to the choir". In other words the message is so true or self evident to those of us that have incorporated vaping into our lives that it is telling us what we already know and...

    E-Cig Summit 2014 videos now available!

    So far I've gotten through the three panel debates and a few individual presentations. Oliver and Amanda - Thank you so much for doing this! Ricardo, Konstantinos and Clive - I just can't express well enough how much I appreciate what each of you does in your own capacity ( I was doing "standing...

    Canadian doctor presents eloquent argument in favor of ecigs to the Health Ministry

    (Tongue in cheek - at least a little bit) Try a Mac, it has this "plug and play" thing that makes doing things a little easier.

    Could you quit vaping if circumstances proved it to be the best choice (read FDA/local political decisions)?

    Exactly! I used to smoke 1 PAD until the smoking bans came in, and all of a sudden I went up to 1.5 PAD. Gradually I edged up to 2 PAD. When I started to vape I had no intention of quitting - just wanted to cut back a bit. After three days of vaping I simply didn't bother buying any more...

    Could you quit vaping if circumstances proved it to be the best choice (read FDA/local political decisions)?

    In the absence of speed enhancing compounds (whether natural or introduced) what I find, and perhaps many others, is "habituation" not "addiction". Definition of addiction is: "Addiction is a state defined by compulsive engagement in naturally rewarding behavior or compulsive drug use, despite...

    Great Article on the Possible Health Benefits of Nicotine

    My dad has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and I have been wanting to convince his doctors to prescribe a nicotine patch for him. He's fairly far along in the Alzheimer's journey. He lives in a care facility and most days he recognizes me, but certainly not always. He was a smoker over his...

    ScienceDaily.com (10/15/14) from NEJM: "The FDA, E-Cigarettes, and the Demise of Combusted Tobacco"

    The slant forgotten is that nicotine is actually much closer (if not actually) a VITAMIN (google Niacin)!

    Innokin cool fire 2 or Innokin iTaste VTR？

    It is still a valid point. Yes there is a rotational wheel for adjusting power level, but the first VTR's out the gate - unofficially called version 1 - also had a rotating wheel at the base where you screw in the atty. This would rotate your atty, which really isn't necessary for positioning...

    when do you vape?

    All the time, except in my office at work ( I pop outside to vape for a few minutes every hour or so) or at home when I put it down and realize half an hour later that I haven't picked it up. Gotta remember it takes 20 to 30 minutes of vaping to take in enough nicotine to bring your...

    Innokin cool fire 2 or Innokin iTaste VTR？

    I've had my VTR (which is a box mod) for almost a year now and would highly recommend it. The VTR comes in stainless steel or jungle camo green. The Cool Fire 2 is the one that looks like a grenade. I personally find the grenade form factor ridiculous and would never consider buying one.

    Two cool ads

    Those are fabulous! These are the kinds of vaping commercials I want to see on mainstream media - TV, radio, the whole spectrum! This is the reality of the e-vpour phenomenon.

    Clive Bates - excellent summary of the Totally Wicked challenge to the EU Tobacco Directive

    Isn't it sad though, that we have to wait, for those who are supposed to have our best interests at heart, to totally screw up before we can take them to task in a way that they have to listen. (that was meant to be a response to Dragonpuff's post - I meant to hit the "reply with quote" button.)

    French craking down on smoking

    Maude dit - C'est domage les Francais du France (ok, ok, I'll switch back to English so more of us can feel the pain) have abandoned "Liberte, egalite et fraternite". Liberty, Equality and Brotherhood. The last place on earth I would have thought to give in to "the Nanny State"! I'm simply...

    16 Sep 14: Memo to public health grandees: vaping, vapers and you (by Clive Bates)

    I remember that night so well. The next door neighbour ran a long extension cord out the back door of their house and set their TV up in the backyard. Several families gathered in their yard to watch. We all kept looking back and forth between the TV and the "live" moon in the sky as the landing...

    Demonization tactics have opposite effect for obesity

    I will state here that I am proof. When my town brought in the smoking bans, my very steady .75 to 1 PAD habit went almost immediately to a 1.5 PAD habit. and over the ensuing 10+ years increased to a 2 PAD habit. I am thankful every day for the innovations that brought about APV's and have now...

    MSN headilne vaping V.S. cigarette second hand smoke

    Isn't U of SoCal "Glanzville"? Does this mean that all of the effort they are going through to discredit e-cigarettes is starting to backfire? All it takes is a few researchers with enough ethical backbone to only emphasize the negative, but admit to the facts. That's what struck me about this...

    E-Cigarettes rejuvenate tobacco smoker’s lungs: leaked study

    Well, although its not a true "peer reviewed clinical study", here's what I have to say. Three months before I discovered vaping I took a "breath test" that measured Carobon Monoxide percentages in my blood gasses. At that time it was 44%. Nine months, after accidentally quitting because of my...

    BBC - E Cig Killers Hawk Poison Nicotine Juice in Tyneside

    Lipids are oils, Propylene glycol is an alcohol. It would be impossible to contract lipid pneumonia from vaping the commercially available liquids normally purchased from vape shops.. I believe Dr. Farsalinos (or one of the other "real" specialists) actually wrote about this case. If I find the...
