    Social acceptance of vaping

    I loved smoking. It relaxed me and gave me a reason to go outside at work for a break. I always worried about the consequences. Vaping gave me the feeling of smoking without the worry of negative results. Back when I smoked a chest x-ray would show hazy areas that x-ray techs said was caused...

    Social acceptance of vaping

    The cloth test tells the truth as far as particulate matter is concerned. Take a big hit and exhale it through a white cloth or porous paper. The cigarette smoke leaves a yellow/orange stain. The vapor just leaves a clear wet area, similar to water on a white cloth (unless you vape some dark...

    Upgrading the security at home

    @retired1 I have an Ademco system installed by the local alarm system company (the owner also lives in our subdivision). All sensor wiring was installed during the home construction. In the 20+ years since we moved in we've only had a couple of false alarms. One was a failed fire sensor and...

    Dizzy after first time using e-cig 18mg/ml (previously heavy smoker)

    I started with 24mg juice about 11 years ago and had no issues after quitting a 2 PAD Marlboro Red habit. Over the next year or so I dropped my nic level over time to 6mg/ml and on down to 3mg/ml. Now, if I vape 6mg juice I get a mild buzz for a few minutes.

    Dizzy after first time using e-cig 18mg/ml (previously heavy smoker)

    Sounds like you found your vaping style and learned to vape lightly, just enough to satisfy your nic need. I remember my first tobacco cigarette experience. I hit it too hard and didn't realize that multiple hits were stacking up nic in my system. I though I'd die for a few minutes until the...

    Anyone try ordering from Fasttech since the shipping ban?

    I"m stocked up for the foreseeable future. DIY nic and lots of rebuildable atomizers will get you where you need to be. Dropping the nic level stretches the time the nic will last. Sally's cotton is cheap and Kanthal or SS wire are multi-use products with no direct link to vaping. Most...

    What is the 5% bad in vaping if it's 95% safer than smoking?

    The 5% was reserved by the Royal college of Physicians in England during their investigation of vaping many years ago. They deemed vaping to be at least 95% safer than smoking. They included a foot note that said they would have given vaping a 100% safe rating, but they knew that nothing is...

    US Vape Mail Ban - USPS/FedEx/UPS/DHL

    It will come like a thief in the night and be there one morning when you wake up. Those who are prepared will barely notice the change.

    US Vape Mail Ban - USPS/FedEx/UPS/DHL

    Which is why I worked my way down from 24mg/ml juice to 3mg/ml over the first year I vaped. Kicking the Marlboro Reds required the high nic juice, though. I was a 2PAD Marlboro smoker who went to low tar Merits and finally to a low nic vape. My health improved significantly.

    Vape device number 21 not working.

    Someone once said, "If you keep on doing the same thing, you will get the same result".

    Vape device number 21 not working.

    thefutureisnow, sounds like you need a charger that displays current charge and internal resistance readings. Without knowing the condition of the cell and its current charge level it's a gamble. Charging to full voltage using the vape device could take several hours. You also need to know...

    US Vape Mail Ban - USPS/FedEx/UPS/DHL

    A Pico 75W has been in my hands every day for years now. I vape at 10W and don't subohm, so I'll just dance with the one that "brung" me. I also have a significant stock of other mods I've tried over the years. Most all have been reliable, and suitable for my MTL vaping style.

    If vaping is so bad why did the FDA allow e-cig commercials on T.V.?

    If you examine the bills coming out of the House these days (and always), there's much more pork than there are clauses that support the original intent of the bill. Most start off with a respectable intent, but by the time the tack-on items are added many aren't even worth passing. You have...

    If vaping is so bad why did the FDA allow e-cig commercials on T.V.?

    As usual, follow the money and the scheme begins to unravel.

    Best MTL RTA to date

    Kayfun Lite V2 can be leakproof if all the o-rings are intact. My test for a good seal is to remove the drip tip, cover the bottom airholes with a finger and thumb, and and draw a vacuum from the drip tip socket. If it won't hold the vacuum, I replace the deck o-rings. I never have juice...

    Best MTL RTA to date

    I just ordered 5 more Tobecco Kayfun Lite Plus V2 atomizers from ECBlend.com for $2.95 each. After the shipping was added the total was $31.53. Still, that's about $6 per atty including shipping. You can never have too much hardware in your apocalypse stash.

    The FDA should recommend vaping for 2 weeks minimum to show smokers a change atleast.

    Just another case where a doctor assumed to be an expert has neglected to study a topic before commenting on it. You could say that automobiles are extremely deadly without including the phrase "if you don't drive responsibly", and change the entire meaning of the intended sentence.

    What are your nic strengths?

    2PAD Marlboro Reds for over 20 years. I switched to Carltons for another 10 years and settled on Merit Ultra lights a couple of years before vaping. I can't believe that my lungs are healthy and clear after all that. Several X-rays and a couple of CT scans have verified clean lungs after...

    Do blow into vapes exist?

    I just tried it with my Tobecco Kayfun Lite V2. I blocked one of two air inlet holes and blew through the other. A thick cloud of vapor streamed from the drip tip.
