    Thoughts on nicotine levels, stopping analogs...a success story!

    Oh, and something I forgot to mention. Towards the end of February we were in Rome and they have these little bitty, thin cigarettes (it's a way the Italians get around the crazy high tax rates), so I bought a pack and wanted to see how cigarettes tasted after having vaped exclusively for...

    Thoughts on nicotine levels, stopping analogs...a success story!

    I'll start this with some background...I was a lifelong smoker, 2 packs a day for over 40 years. Luckily I did not get any heart or lung disease. I also have neurogenic sinus bradycardia, meaning there is a disconnect between my nervous system, my heart rate and blood pressure. Essentially I...

    Started my DIY Juice Journey, pretty good trip so far...

    Good thoughts on that, thanks. One thing I forgot to add in my "supplies" list is that I also have 10ml and 50ml graduated glass mixing cups. This allows me to pour the PG into what I consider my generalized container, then use the syringes to easily pull an exacting amount out for mixing...

    Started my DIY Juice Journey, pretty good trip so far...

    I decided last week to try my hand at making my own juice flavor mixes. No, I'm not distilling nic or making actual flavor mixes, I'm using commercially available products to blend my own nic concentrations and flavors. While it may or may not save money in the long run, my primary reason is...

    Not real impressed with the eGo T, in fact, yuck!

    I've been vaping for about 10 months now. I clean and refil carts and have been pretty pleased. I decided to try the ego-T system to see if it really is better than what I use now. Verdict for me...no way. I bought the 650ah kit from Vape Dudes. I have watched a bunch of videos on these...

    Where is the strangest place you have vaped?

    I vaped and stealth vaped EVERYWHERE on my recent trip to Europe, just to have the insanely, childish pleasure of doing something that probably was allowed anyway in most of the places. In most places I stealth vaped. Yes, I acted like a teenager and I'm almost 60, but IT WAS FUN! Ever since...

    Vapeing through Europe

    Just spent the last 30 days traveling through multiple destinations in Europe. Rome, Naples, Florence, Paris, London. I vaped everywhere with absolutely NO problems. Train stations, metro, airports. Standing next to police officers, while talking with the security people at Windsor, inside...

    V4 Life - I've had it with them, their bad batteries and deceptive sales practices.

    I have been a customer of V4L for about 6 months now. In that time they have almost NEVER gotten a single order correct. Always a backorder, out-of-stock, wrong product. The batteries (4 different types) are crap. When they screw up an order (almost EVERY time) they give me a "gift...

    V 4 Life customer service is Excellent

    While I have to admit that there have been a few orders that were messed up, whenever I have called their customer service it has actually been a pleasure. They answer the phone immediately, they are NOT in another country with a phone connection that sounds like 2 cans and a string. When I...

    Dollars and Sense in Vapeing

    I really appreciate all of the responses and probably in the future I'll try out the DIY approach, simply because I'll want to do something different ( ha ha ). What I was trying to show is that even if you compare the e-cig to the DIY analog approaches, then the present cost differential on...

    V4L Sour Cherry, tastes like after-shave, but I do not blame them!

    While I was a light cigarette smoker and when I shifted to e-cigs I began with V2. Over the past couple of months I've been using V4L products. Overall, it has been a good experience. With V2 I did buy some of the cherry carts and found I really liked them. V4L at the time had Cherry juice...

    Dollars and Sense in Vapeing

    Is the e-cig a less expensive alternative to analogs? It can be, but not always. In my case the results are a bit mixed. First of all, both my wife and I were smokers. I smoked about 1.5 packs per day, she about 1+ per day. Last summer we left the world of commercial cigarettes and began...

    0mg and the law?

    One of the previous posters has it correct. Society desires to paint all "cigarette" users as low IQ, uneducated, slugs. Yet the idea of a "professional" puffing on a cigar or pipe is OK. Why else would pipe-cut tobacco be taxed at a rate that is approximately 10% of the cigarette-cut rate...

    E-Cigs are a "tobacco product", but what happens when they are NOT?

    Once again, it goes back to nicotine is a naturally occurring substance that exists in a multitude of organic products that we use daily. Nicotine itself is not illegal and it would be almost impossible to make it illegal.

    E-Cigs are a "tobacco product", but what happens when they are NOT?

    When the FDA lost its Court battle it was allowed to put e-cigs under the category of tobacco products. So of course that means that they will find some way to get all kinds of weird regulations to control them. But here is the interesting thing, this entire ruling is based on the idea that...

    Travel and Vaping My next trip should be interesting

    Yes, it is fine in these countries. And even though Italy and France both passed "non-smoking" laws for places like restaurants and hotels, well, let's just say the folks over there are not real big on the idea of someone telling them they cannot smoke, or not do anything else for that matter. dave

    Travel and Vaping My next trip should be interesting

    I do video documentaries, mostly for travel. My normal hassle with airport security is all the stuff I bring in my carry-on, my cameras and lenses will never see the inside of a cargo hold but because many of my camera accessories I make myself it is always fun at security. As an example...

    Going down in Nic strength

    I used to smoke 1.5 packs of analogs per day. In an effort to save money (not happy at spending $4/pk for crappy brand cigs), I began to make my own. Now, those not only tasted better, but brought my cost/pk down to less than $1 (plus the 90 minutes per carton it took me to make them). I smoked...

    I am always amazed at the "OH MY GOD, IT HAS NICOTINE IN IT!!!" people.

    Yep, who cares that multiple studies, many funded by the Federal government, such as that done by Drs. Norma Role, Columbia University and Daniel MacGahee of the University of Chicago show a beneficial component in nicotine. Specifically in its ability to stimulate neurotransmitters and help...

    Why can't I give up the vile weed? (A long one)

    I stopped smoking several times, but as I have written in another thread, the nicotine stimulant for me is actually a positive health issue. When I would stop, I'd get sick (whole other thread on that one). However, what has made the transition for me to switch to e-cigs from analog was...
