    Are you worried about the flavorings we inhale?

    Inhaling PG, VG, and Nicotine can be not only assumed, but backed up with science to be absolutely safer than smoking. No assumptions can be made in regards to inhaling food flavorings. We can't and should not assume it's safe. I'm all for flavorings, but I think every new vaper needs to...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    The only thing I don't like about the Kayfun/Russian is not being able to see what's going on. Bap: What about an o-ring on the chimney cap and an o-ring around the base and then replace the chimney tube with pyrex...do you think the tanks top cap would press-fit/hold it together? An o-ring on...

    Are you worried about the flavorings we inhale?

    b-b-but...diacetyl IS a food flavoring... Obviously an issue with one chemical doesn't mean there will be problems with others, but the food flavoring issue really could be hazardous to our health in the future. Not ALL flavorings of course, but some. The health professionals and scientists...

    Are you worried about the flavorings we inhale?

    I don't know how much diacetyl those workers inhaled, but I'm sure they weren't working in a massive fog of the stuff. Most likely it was fumes. Regardless, the wikipedia page mentions the man who got it from making popcorn (probably every day) for 10 years. That would be a small exposure maybe...

    Are you worried about the flavorings we inhale?

    Honestly, yeah. I'm 25 and only smoked for 10 years. I quit smoking so that I WON'T die at 40 like my father or have health problems due to my nicotine addiction. If any of these flavorings or impurities in PG/VG end up causing lung diseases or other issues after 20+ years of constant use, many...

    New mini protank 2

    I can't say for sure if this is the issue, but: Make sure you actually scrub it down. At the very least, paper towel wipe it off. When I first got my big Protank-2's, I noticed the only part that was noticeably gross with machine oil was inside the drip tip. See if anything wipes out of there...

    "The Russian" 91% (Kayfun Lite Clone With A Twist)

    The one and only flaw I saw on the Russian was in the air channel. When they drilled and tapped for the adjustment screw hole, they didn't remove a small piece of metal that got pushed out into the air channel. I just pushed it in with a screwdriver, it broke off, and then removed it. Besides...

    E-Cigarettes: Rush To Regulate Could Destroy Effective Alternative

    Unfortunately what they're going to say is 'but more kids are using e-cigs! oh my gerd, nicotine evil!!' That's what they said in the Houston ABC13 piece a bit ago. 'Use of e-cigs has doubled in middle school and high school students the past 2 years'. Of course they don't mention anything...

    Another unfortunate accident with a faulty batter / charger

    I agree with educating people to NOT use car chargers. There's only a handful of battery stories I've heard about, and a couple happened while charging in the car.

    Systematically correcting misinformation - "action alert" list?

    Absolutely. We need a bit more organization. There is so much info on this site it can be hard to find things. I went to the Nicotine section to find a list of study links to share and couldn't even find it. I know it's somewhere...frustrating. Speaking of which: ABC 13 in Houston will be...
