    What Will the Future of ECF Look Like .. ??

    I agree. I was just commenting in retrospect. I've expected taxation on vapes for a while. They are already deemed to be tobacco products just because of the nicotine component.

    What Will the Future of ECF Look Like .. ??

    I see vaping taking a big hit eventually and ECF lives as long as vaping is alive. That's why I have Nic in the freezer. If we continue to vape, nic and DIY is vital for extending our privilege. As I have said many times, it's not that vaping is an issue for most, it's the competition...

    5 years of smoking, how much damage?

    My lungs 10 years out from my last cigarette (2010) were clear on a CT scan early this year. Before I began to vape and was still smoking my scans and X-rays showed a little clouding here and there. The techs and the doctors told me that haze was caused by smoking. That's all cleared up...

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

    You could find yourself dabbling and succeeding in creating some recipes that surprise you, especially if you experiment with flavors and the recipes that others post. Nic Base is a must if you want to continue vaping over the long term, so you have what it takes to continue. Many of us vape...

    Are you done stocking up?

    Mike, I just turned 70 and have 4 liters of 100mg Nic bottled and in the deep freezer. Vaping 3mg nic strength, that's enough for a long time. If I'm gone before it is, so be it. The important thing is having enough to account for uncertain times. Should I live as long as my Mom did, I could...

    Will the new Postal Ban effect liquid nicotine on its own?

    Worry more about flavors that you vape than the PG, VG, and Nicotine components. It's not the base ingredients ... it's more about certain flavor additives. PG and VG are much more benign. That's why many of us vape flavorless liquids with or without nicotine that we make ourselves...

    Uuuug... Another plastic bottle question

    I had one 6 oz bottle stored in a back corner of the fridge that I forgot about after bottling all my 100ml nic base in glass and freezing it all. The one in the fridge turned an a nice pale orange tint over time, but flavor wasn't affected as far as I could tell. I vaped it early on and...

    Calling all ex-smokers.... how long since your last cigarette?

    11 years. I quit cigs and started vaping in early 2010. Haven't had a cigarette since then and don't even think about smoking.

    Are you done stocking up?

    The best thing you can do for vaping longevity is to use rebuildable atomizers. All you need is a coil of stainless steel or Kanthal wire and a box of cotton to change wicks and wind coils and you're good for a couple of years or more making coils for your atomizers. Both of those items...

    Are you done stocking up?

    I live in a neighborhood with covenants that aren't strictly enforced unless the violation isn't blatant. Some communities have ridiculous rules with fines that make little sense. Smokers who quit and still crave a smoke can be the worst. I'm 12 years out from my last cigarette, but...

    What do we do with our eCigs without coils?

    When you rebuild a rebuildable atomizer you know right off the bat if it's shorted or not. An ohm meter for coils also serves as a base for building coils, so you know right away if it's done right or shorted. Use an ohm reader like the ones at this link.

    I read my bottle of e-liquid for the first time today!

    US shipping cutoff dates - USPS, Fedex & UPS

    The government is hooked on tobacco taxes and vaping pays none. At this point we might be better off being taxed instead of being erradicated. U.S. - tobacco tax revenue and forecast 2025 | Statista

    For those of you who need to repair old vape tanks that are leaking, McMaster-Carr is your friend. They stock any o-ring size you could imagine and most come in packs of 10.

    What do you think about TheTruth(dot)com ?

    Agree. Most opinions shift according to the person offering it. The truth is that smoking is a known killer and that's been proven through analysis by the medical world. ANTZ chooses the critics they prefer to believe to support their claim. IMO, they are against anything that resembles...

    What do you think about TheTruth(dot)com ?

    Antz believes that if it looks like a duck, it must be a duck ... and then they try to shoot it. Apparently there's a lot of ANTZ supporters in Congress. Most are Democrats according to the link below. Republicans are our friends, IMO. Democratic Views On Vaping And E-Cigarettes | Republican...

    What do you think about TheTruth(dot)com ?

    If it's ANTZ, they need no reason to gripe. Vaping has always been a thorn in the government tax connection to tobacco. It's obvious that government likes the income from tobacco taxes even though they are down from 18B down to about 11B in 2010. Part of that drop is smokers quitting (or...

    I read my bottle of e-liquid for the first time today!

    I shake my DIY mixes thoroughly when I'm mixing up new batches. After that, I don't see evidence of settling, even after months on the shelf. I do shake the bottle right before I use the syringe to draw up juice to fill an atomizer. It doesn't hurt to make sure it's mixed, even if I hasn't...

    Agree. I just water clean Kayfun Lite V2's if needed when I recoil. Occasionally if needed, I'll take them apart and soak them in water with enough dish detergent to clean off residue, rinse and air dry them on a paper towel, after washing off the detergent. I just checked my order of 8...

    Glass is your best bet and Boston Rounds hold up well at 0 farenheit. My liters in glass bottles are clear after a couple of years in the freezer.
