    I think we need the FDA, I really do.

    In Europe, as soon as something is offered for sale, it is subject to multiple consumer protection laws, and in many countries there are local inspectors who enforce those laws. In the UK, ecig products are subject to 17 laws as soon as they hit the shelves, and there are local inspectors...

    A little lost.. How about the basics

    The best tip for anyone new to DIY is to buy a bunch of 5ml plastic dripper bottles (the dripper cap comes off) and only make only 2ml of a new mix. You will make a lot of mistakes at first. Throwing away 10ml of refill can be painful - so painful you are tempted to keep it, and dilute it a bit...

    encounter with a doctor today

    There's some confusion over the terminology here because the meaning of some of these terms is different in the medical world from the everyday meaning. For example, the term 'non-smoker' is defined as an ex-smoker by medics. Here is how the terms are used in the medical world: ever-smoker: a...

    How to get the most flavor out of 100% VG?

    I only use '100% VG'* and this is a known issue for us glycerine users. As stated above you can add extra flavor. Also make sure your refill is not too viscous (thick and gloopy) - it needs distilled water added until it is about the same viscosity (thickness) as a PG-based liquid, or several...

    Vets~ Nobody has helped thus far! Source of Ecig nicotine? Thx!!

    Most liquid nic comes from China, some comes from India. The source is likely to be chemical and pharmaceutical suppliers who specialise in bulk vegetable extraction and processing operations, not cigarette companies. Some might be owned by cigarette companies. This is a different business from...

    In Dr Farsalinos' place, I would do the same: not name the the contaminated products. You should be aware by now that my position is that vendors should be held to account on this and any other equally serious issue, since the quality and safety of inhalation products seems an important issue...

    It would be extremely difficult for Dr Farsalinos to reveal the names of the contaminated products, even the most toxic products. What he could do on the other hand is name the products that he found to be contaminate-free. I don't see any problem with that. Of course, this sort of testing is...

    some thoughts on "dry leaf", legislation, and ECF

    See post #13 in this thread. The future of vaping has already been decided. They can't let smoking prevalence shrink any more. There will be a massive fight for about 30 years and then we'll win. It always goes like that when a new technology takes over.

    some thoughts on "dry leaf", legislation, and ECF

    Endgame discussions are popular with the antz but it looks to me as if the endgame* is farther away than ever. * the end of tobacco use, either by reducing smoking prevalence or by banning it Because: Smoking prevalence is down to 20% or thereabouts in many places, and we now know that (a) it...

    Maybe you're right. I don't feel like arguing any more.

    It's kind of like this: if I want to buy a refill with no radioactive polonium in, then when I pay top dollar for a refill and the vendor assures me it's polonium-free, then what I expect is to receive a refill that has no polonium. Whether or not the amount of polonium is going to make me ill...

    And I don't care about any of that. If I want to buy a high-quality refill that has no obvious contaminants, then it matters to me if 3 out of 4 vendors are lying to me when they say their products are clean. Others may have different priorities and that's fine. To me, a vendor who lies to me...

    The current regulations just set by the EU, and the proposals put forward by the FDA, if they survive legal challenge, and if implemented to the full, will mean that vaping as we know it comes to an end by around summer 2017. Most products will have to go black market since near enough...

    I don't know if these posts about monster sub-ohming are true or not - need to make that clear. It's not within my personal experience... [I'm at the other end of the scale as my lungs are shot :) ]

    I think science is science, or should be, and therefore who it benefits is not a factor. If any science appears that allows us to improve ecig quality then that's a win, even if it hurts. Realistically it will have to address refill quality as that's where the big gains/losses can be made - and...

    The vendors don't know and/or lie, and clearly don't care. They do not care about you because you are stupid enough to buy poison (this includes me by the way, I'm not excluding myself - we are all far too stupid for our own good). People want cheap e-liquid and they really don't care what is...
