    Restaurant finds e-cigarettes fill smoking need

    DUGG. What great exposure! There was a thread about a week or so ago that spoke to the same concept. In other words, getting in touch with state Restaurant and Bar Associations and promoting e-cigs as a way to salvage some of the business lost to smoking bans. I think they could be big...

    BEAUTIFUL, Posidon! It's going into to my information arsenal right now! Thanks for your work!

    Social Security and Medicare

    I think we all have a moral responsibility to look out for the elderly, the infirm, and the destitute. That is a HUMAN responsibility, not just a national responsibility. Society functions better when the largest majority have their basic needs met. They spend so much time in kindergarten...

    Third-Hand Smoke ?

    I've been cigarette-free for almost three months now. One of the first benefits I noticed (within a week of dropping tobacco) was a marked increase in my ability to smell cigarette smoke. It nearly bowled me over when I SMELLED a smoker before I heard them come up behind me. I can smell those...

    Too Much?

    I say do what you need to do! I would recommend moving up to 24mg though like KitKit said, maybe alternate between 18-24 for awhile, see how that goes. I don't think there really is any such thing as too much vaping, especially coming fresh off of cigarettes. If you DO vape too much, your...

    Flavor Review

    I will be happy to relieve you of the horrible horrible cotton candy. In the interest of taking one for the team, of course. :P

    XL carrying case problem

    I don't know if this will work for everyone, but it seemed to do the trick for me. I carefully pulled out the foam insert. You have to do it slowly because it's glued in, but if you work it carefully the stickum will give. DO NOT pull up the bottom liner, just the foam insert. Then I worked...

    New York Assembly Vote

    I don't think this issue falls along party lines - it falls through cracks. Most of the people voting on these bills don't have any experience in this area other than a few cherry-picked opinions, carefully spoon-fed by the ALA and FDA. I just don't see it as being a party issue. It's more of...

    E-cig vs. Cigarette Infograph

    It's still a valid point in terms of the infograph though. And it just now occurred to me that wasted productivity could also come in the form of more time off work for illness than non-smoking coworkers. And since I'm bumping this thread, any word on that infograph Posidon? I'm interested to...

    CMF vs. Classic CMF

    Thanks all - that's exactly what I needed to know!

    CMF vs. Classic CMF

    Getting an order together, and I noticed that CarMoFrap now has two versions, regular and classic. I probably haven't been around long enough to know the difference - I haven't noticed a change in this flavor since I started using it. What is the flavor difference between the two? Is one of...

    Clear Topic Headings for New Threads Please

    I wouldn't expect anyone to do a thorough stem-to-stern search of all forums before posting. But I don't think it's unreasonable to do a quick scan of the first page or two of posts to see if something is active. This is especially true when new flavors or equipment hit. It's almost...

    Does Nicotine Cause Cancer??

    Matters of science are not subject to opinion. Nicotine has never been found to be carcinogenic, and nobody will change that finding by opinion alone. Science is based on observable, repeatable results. Inviting opinion adds nothing to the discussion (at least not at this level). This is the...

    E-cigs provide no-smoke option

    From the article: “All this is going to do is give people the opportunity to get nicotine in areas that they can’t use cigarettes,” Ken Saber, a health coordinator at Watkins Memorial Health Center who councils students trying to quit, said. “There is still a lot unknown about them, but I would...

    The ALA's disgraceful actions: Causes?

    Thanks for this, I thought I was crazy! I have psoriasis (for those who don't know, it makes your skin rebel against you by forming plaques that scab and peel repeatedly without healing). I grew up in the 80's when sunscreen awareness was really huge. As a fair-skinned red-head, I adopted the...

    Propaganda Techniques

    I'll take your assignment literally and point out the most blatant card-stack they've been using: DIETHYLENE GLYCOL. We're supposed to fall over screaming ZOMG ANTIFREEZE when we hear that, but when the rest of the facts are filled in, it holds no water.

    Caramel Mocha Frapp

    I've enjoyed it immensely. It's not overly sweet, has a nice coffee edge, and responds very favorably to doctoring (I can never manage to vape a juice straight, I like to mix flavors a lot). It's worth a try if you like your coffee stuff not too sweet, but not as bitter as straight-out coffee...

    22% off CARTS AND JUICE

    Hooray for me, I finally called a sale right! On Tuesday, we used the derby code to order a starter kit for my mother-in-law (we're having it sent to her for Mother's Day). Rich was ready to place another order to replace some of our juices that were getting low. I told him to wait. I am so...
