    Just one or two devices?

    I'm trying to keep new gear acquisition to a minimum, largely for budget reasons, but also because I know I will go overboard at nearly anything if I don't maintain strict discipline. However, backups are a necessity. What I try to do is research^3 anything I am thinking about getting, only buy...

    Food coloring concentrate in ejuice?

    The odds are in your favor that such a practice is functionally harmless but, that said, I am with the others in saying not to do it. It's a wholly unnecessary molecule being inserted deep into your lungs because you're too inexperienced to judge your cotton and unwilling to read a label. No...

    CA Fed Sen Feinestein responds ---Hmmm?

    I'm expecting a similar form letter to the OP from Schumer any day now and look forwarding to replying with the above link :) To me, this is the crux of where their anti-vaping stance falls flat on its face. While there is little question that vaping in and of itself is habit forming, and, if...

    Honest question - unregulated mods

    I don't have any hard data, but based on number of threads, number of *different* posters, what shops carry, etc., it doesn't take anything more than common sense to infer regulated are more common.

    Honest question - unregulated mods

    As someone relatively new to the scene, I don't quite understand the mech love for one objective reason: With a VV/VW mode I can dial in the precise power where a particular juice works best and/or suits my mood. Even vaping the same juice, my wattage goes up in the middle of the day where I...

    Do you guys think RDA'S will become extinct at some point?

    I can't possibly imagine why they would go extinct as they are a product with die hard fans (i.e. customers). For the manufacturer, they're generally cheaper to manufacture and package. For the user, they're generally easier to build on and wick acceptably. The product category will likely...

    Clarification needed on petition

    The original product contained coca (the raw source for a white powdery substance that goes up the noses of some people), hence the name, but that was removed and replaced with caffeine. The flavor, while based on the kola nut, has no kola nut extract either and is composed of a proprietary...

    Clarification needed on petition

    They should be classified as recreational electronic nicotine delivery systems, full stop. Yes, effectively 100% of the nicotine used in them is sourced from tobacco, but that *should* not be enough to regulate them as a tobacco product. When consumers look to the FDA for better labeling and/or...

    FDA Big news coming out of FDA

    Agree that "value-wise" comparing the two is a category error, but it is illustrative as a caution against the "they're going to take our PVs!!!" sentiment from so many. Not only is there very little in the way of scientific evidence for the efficacy or safety of a massive chunk of the...

    Guys, Tfv 4 and Lemo 2, which one is better?

    RBA: generic acronym for a ReBuildable Atomizer RTA: Rebuildable Tank Atomizer …and for good measure… RDA: Rebuildable Dripper Atomizer The Lemo 2 was my first RTA and I wicked it properly first time out of the gate after watching one video on YouTube. No idea how it got its early reputation...

    Is vaping worth the trouble of concealing it from your family?

    This is a pipe dream used by what I can only call "extremist" vapers without a shred of common sense, evidence, or biology behind it. What few seem to realize is that there is no such thing as a 100% addictive substance. Most so-called addictive substances are only around 10% addictive, with...

    Guys, Tfv 4 and Lemo 2, which one is better?

    Something to consider with the D2 is that with its wattage limitation and no buck circuit in power mode you simply cannot run certain builds (or prebuilt coils) properly. In spite of the claimed specs, for example, it won't run any coil below 0.235 ohms in power mode as anything other than a de...

    Steeping in Plastic Bottles

    They didn't specify, but reasonably certain they meant 80 Celsius. 80 Fahrenheit is neither warm enough to release the sketchier components of some plastics NOR aid in aging our juices.

    Is vaping worth the trouble of concealing it from your family?

    Part of becoming an adult IS making decisions for yourself that will potentially piss off the people in charge. And trying to judge the peer pressures and/or cultural influences of the young adults in the world from middle age and beyond is like trying to follow a movie in a foreign language...

    Anyone successfully quit smoking *then* start vaping?

    I can't in any way claim this is a justified "bad habit". I've joked with my brother about why couldn't he have had some nasty tasting juice when he came to visit, because then I probably would have hit it once, said, "not for me, good luck on getting off the cigs", and I wouldn't have had to...

    Anyone successfully quit smoking *then* start vaping?

    He's since moved on from Ego One Mega he had earlier this year to multiple Herakles tanks on an IPV D2. Due to the feedback loop of the two of us conversating, he is waiting on a Velocity RDA clone to try his own hand at rebuildables. Until yesterday, was using the 1.8 ohm Nautilus coils at...

    Anyone successfully quit smoking *then* start vaping?

    I cannot speak for everyone, but there is no doubt of this in my mind. Every time I took up smoking again, I completely bypassed the tolerance building I went through during my teens and would be back to smoking a quarter pack (or more) a day within a few days. No nausea, no dizziness, just the...

    Where is the Apple of vaping?

    I don't see how this could be any more Apple like if you are actually familiar with your history of Apple products. I was in with iPods from the 4th generation on and was a bit of a tech guru on the iLounge forums back in their heyday. If you just wanted to buy a bunch of music from iTunes and...

    Anyone successfully quit smoking *then* start vaping?

    Wondering how (un)common my situation is. I had a roughly 20 year on again, off again relationship with tobacco. Cigarettes, Cigars, Pipes, AND dipping. It wasn't all four at once, but while there were some fairly lengthy tobacco-free periods, most of that time I was using one or more forms of...
