    Not sure if I should be happy

    Sorry but our staff need to be respected because of the pain, effort and time they give to stop members reducing threads to a fistfight. Don't disrespect them or you risk a vacation. Be courteous to others all the time - no matter how hard that may be for you - and respect staff decisions, or...

    Moving To New Forum Software

    ______________________________________ On Wednesday 22nd at 8 a.m. East Coast we are moving from our old faithful forum software, vBulletin, to a newer application called XenForo. ______________________________________ You can expect pretty much everything to be different, so there will be...

    slow loading apr. 4 afternoon....

    Occasionally we get server problems or network distribution problems - especially with the CDN, the bit that serves static content. As long as someone flags it up, it gets looked at, then fixed. It can be location-dependent (especially with CDN issues), so sometimes it can help to have a rough...

    The Blog Function . . .

    Yes, that's a good use of a blog: to store info that either you or others might find useful, and easier to find than down in the giant threads.

    whats the best app to access the forum and all of its functions?

    We're moving to new forum software at the end of next week, around Saturday 21st, so things could change at that time. Just a heads-up.

    securing charger circuits

    Epoxy glue is often used. This is a 2-pack adhesive you mix up then apply to the connector sockets. Araldite is one brand. You can also 'pot' the boards with it in cases where there is a risk of liquid entry - as there will be in an ecig mod. Potting means to encapsulate a circuit board in a...

    WARNING: This thread may gross you out!

    Snus is the specially-processed Swedish oral tobacco that has most of the carcinogens removed by steam treatment. It often comes in small packets like a mini teabag, placed behind the upper lip. Snus has no reliably-identifiable health impact. The health outcomes for smokers who switch to Snus...

    Question about frozen nicotine.

    People need to realise that vaping is global and this is a global forum. What applies to one person, now, in their country, may have no relevance at all to someone who is somewhere else. In Europe they already have regulations coming into force of the same type the FDA may be planning - so for...

    Question about frozen nicotine.

    Sorry, didn't read the whole thread, but: - I have 5 year old 100% VG nic base in the freezer that is still A1 and has no visible signs of decay, or any taste change. It doesn't freeze solid, it becomes a hard jelly. - I keep my freezer at -22C in case that is of any interest. - I also keep...

    WARNING: This thread may gross you out!

    The black lung propaganda is just another public health industry lie. Pathologists will tell you they cannot identify smoker's lungs post mortem. In the UK, 40% of lung transplants use smoker's lungs and the outcomes are no different. Mind you, lung transplant patients do not have an...

    Oh no - Nick Clegg is a vaper

    They might get 5 seats: bound to get a couple in Essex, hold Rochester, 1 in Plymouth, etc. I'm hoping they get enough to become a thorn in the side of the government of the day. Some of their policies are nuts, but then that's likely anyway for any party just getting seats. For example, free...

    Vaping slang and acronyms

    The world of vaping has its own language. You don't have to use it - it's not a legal requirement, even if sometimes it seems that way :) However, it helps if you know what all that stuff means - so here are some links to explanations of acronyms (words made from initial letters), abbreviations...

    Info needed to Counteract doctor info about Oil into Lungs/Miners Disease? Wet Lungs? Japanese study debunked?

    Prof Polosa has replied to my request for further information on any association of vaping with 'wet lung'. He reports that, although pulmonary adverse events may be expected with intensive volume vaping, he has not heard of any events of pulmonary oedema / water in the lungs associated with...

    Convert unregulated parallel box mod to a series?

    This is not advisable as it was the cause of all the mechmod explosions from 2010 to 2012/3. If you stack batteries (put them in series) then you really need to know what you are doing. As rewiring a boxmod form parallel to series is about the simplest possible wiring job imaginable, then it...

    Oh no - Nick Clegg is a vaper

    I'd vote for anyone that would rid us of those murderously corrupt liars. UKIP isn't fit to govern but all it has to do is get enough seats to force a referendum soon. Whether that would get us out is another matter - I agree that currently the ins would probably beat the outs. Something would...

    difference between IMR & ICR batteries???

    ICR cells - also called regular Li-ion batteries, LiCo, unprotected lithium batteries, protected lithium cells - are now obsolete and should not be used for any ecig application. Only use IMR or hybrid cells now. IMR = LiMn, lithium manganese rechargeable. Hybrid = lithium hybrid chemistry...

    Oh no - Nick Clegg is a vaper

    The thing is, MEPs don't have any say except on something of no importance. The TPD was fixed in secret committee in order to bypass the parliament, then got voted in by deception. Same here. I live in a safe seat for one of the deadhead parties, and I'm seriously considering moving to a...

    Oh no - Nick Clegg is a vaper

    Too right. I didn't bother with politics before becoming a vaper, but when a bunch of utterly corrupt liars and useless, incompetent berks are trying to kill you it gets personal. Had spent years in sports politics and stuff so it wasn't hard to adapt.

    Oh no - Nick Clegg is a vaper

    No, you were dead right. He's so thick he doesn't realise that the new EU regs coming in will prohibit the hardware he used (an eGo with a tank) and the refill liquid he used (blueberry muffin) so that others will not have that opportunity. If you described him as an utterly incompetent...

    Info needed to Counteract doctor info about Oil into Lungs/Miners Disease? Wet Lungs? Japanese study debunked?

    Dr CV Phillips* has commented on the strange dichotomy existing within some medics: they are fully supportive of harm reduction in everything except smoking. I can't see how they support this, but it is widespread. If someone supports use of less harmful drugs on prescription to reduce harm to...
