    Introduction

    Hola, Nice to meet you. From what you say, I'd suggest 0% nicotine, but you probably don't wish to give yourself an adiction you don't have already anyway :laugh:

    Headache and Nausea...Help!

    I'd bet money on this being too much nicotine; it sounds just like the symptoms from chain smoking a pack to me. It's not a nice feeling at all; I've done it. A simple test would be to get the same flavour with 0% nic, and to switch to that if you feel any headache or nausea in the future. I...

    Burnt my throat while sub-ohming, don't be like me.

    My first thought would be to always use watts rather than volts, and to dial it up slowly. We all make mistakes, and not one of us hasn't jumped in before testing the depth or temp' of the water in our pasts. Thanks for the humility of the warning post OP.

    COPD Think

    Good news man, and as it's only been 3 ish months I guess it'll only get better. Now you're off the analogues and breathing my guess is that you'll naturally want to be out and about more, and that everything will be better over time. I've damaged my gums through smoking; well, that's all I...

    that tobacco taste ur after will change

    Like just about everyone, the first thing I did, and am still doing, is try to find that ciggy hit and flavour, but now I'm considering moving on to try other things. It seems like a good idea to move further away from tobacco, and the post near the front end of this thread where some guy said...

    Why am I enjoying my itaste vaping better when it's set at watts than volts?

    Question: If a Mod has a power (watts) option and therefore must be able to measure (or perhaps calculate I should say) the element's resistance, why on god's earth would that mod bother to have a user Voltage setting option? It's seems completely redundant to me.

    Looking to purchase an e-cig but have no idea about any of this

    Thanks man. Although I still think that something way small like the V2 with refillable carts is a must when out and about, I've been looking about this evening. I think I may head off tomorrow and buy myself an Innokin MVP MOD V2 for use at home. It seems like a good thing to own, but for me at...

    Looking to purchase an e-cig but have no idea about any of this

    If you can point me someplace better I'd be more than interested to learn bud.

    Looking to purchase an e-cig but have no idea about any of this

    Well like I said, I'm not an expert, but for the little analogue type solutions it's the cheapest I know of and they do fluids and refill carts. It would teach the basics and be handy for the future too. Personally a small solution is a must have for me, as I have no intention of going out...

    Looking to purchase an e-cig but have no idea about any of this

    I'm no expert, but I'm unsure of the instant move to expense and complexity. If any of my friends were to ask me the op's question I'd send them straight to the V2 website. I'd tell them to avoid the starter kits, but rather buy 2 rechargeable batteries, the USB charger, 5 pre-filled carts of...

    Are your gums bleeding more now that you have stopped smoking cigarettes?

    Mine like that stuff too, but told me to alternate with Colgate Pro-Gum-Health non-alco' mouthwash as well as using the Pro-Gum-Health tooth paste.

    Are your gums bleeding more now that you have stopped smoking cigarettes?

    I found an article that some may like to read. It seems that there is evidence suggesting that it's not the nicotine that constricts the blood vessels in the gums but rather the heat and chemical brew of the analogues. This may help explain the apparent paradox of bleeding gums when you're still...

    analog smoking inhale technique?

    I'm new here, and I didn't see any of these 'straight lung hit' posts. Just to clarify: do you mean that rather than suck smoke into your mouth, remove the analogue, and then draw down into your lungs, you rather just inhale from your lungs, keeping your mouth rigid, and basically just breath...

    Brand new vaper glad to be joining the community

    Hola Mike, I'm new today too. It's nice to have found vaping for me too. I smoked analogues for most of my life, and finally I've found a better way to do things; I didn't want an analogue since the moment I charged my first battery.

    Where do you keep your ecig when on the go?

    My e-cig is a tiny Green Smoke one, and so it just goes in a pocket as it's all made of metal. I am looking for some sort of leather case the size of a analogue packet that I can keep some batteries and cartomizors in though, and the GS peeps only sell a case that is way too big for some reason.

    Indoor vaping in public spaces - not a battle worth fighting

    What the BMA say now is: "At the BMA's annual meeting, our members agreed that e-cigarettes should be included in the ban on smoking in public places." Taken from here: BMA - E-cigarettes But like I said above: In the UK there are little boxes (sheds) outside of pubs, and smokers MUST use...

    Indoor vaping in public spaces - not a battle worth fighting

    I think it is a battle worth fighting. In England the BMA (British medical association) have just voted to say that they think that vaping (e-cigs) should be banned in public places in the same way as tobacco smoking is. This means that if whilst in a pub you wanted a nicotine hit you would by...

    Thinking of refilling my GreenSmoke

    I like my little GreenSmoke, and am unlikely to bother getting into other equipment. I also quite like the idea of a nice new, clean, cartomizer every dayor so, as well as the GreenSmoke flavours. Recently I saw a youtube vid of a guy showing how easy it is to refill a GreenSmoke cartomizer...

    Are your gums bleeding more now that you have stopped smoking cigarettes?

    That's odd. To be clear about this, it's actually, quite perversely, a good thing that a persons gums bleed when they quit tobacco smoking and change to vaping. It means that the circulation in their gums has improved, and shown them they have a problem they would not have known about otherwise...

    Are your gums bleeding more now that you have stopped smoking cigarettes?

    Hello all, I have been provoked into joining and posting after spending the last few months considering nicotine and gum disease. I'll explain: I have periodontal disease (maybe I caught it from some nasty woman – yes you can indeed 'catch' it). When my dentist told me I had this disease and...
