    Oxford Journals: Carbonyl Compounds in E Cig Vapors

    PEG400 has been extensively used in ecig refills. Its main use was in prefilled cartos, as it presents flavours better than either PG or glycerine and was for a time part of the 'carto wars', where big brand mini ecig vendors tried to outdo each other for market share. PEG stopped being used...

    Peering through the mist..

    Prof Burstyn used nearly 10,000 measurements to reach his conclusions on the toxicology of vaping. It is regarded as the standard work on the subject. Following this is the Cochrane Review, which also came to the same conclusion: there are no significant issues, at least for regular vapers.

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

    Perhaps he is referring to inhalation of silica dust. Maybe this is a problem in some types of mining. It's true that a microscopic quantity of silica will be inhaled from vaping any head with a silica wick, which is one reason people re-wick with rayon or kohgendo cotton. The thing is...

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

    Hi, there is no need to worry about this. It looks as if your doctor is clutching at straws here, or is a confirmed ANTZ (anti nicotine and tobacco zealot), in which case the facts will make no difference to his opinion; anyway, here are the facts just in case. - Inhalation of 'PG' or...

    How About De-Stickying "Advice on what to buy for newcomers"?

    Good catch. Done. I took some of that stuff and built it into a new info sticky called A Vaper's Progress. Needs some links to current good advice for newcomers.

    The Vaper's Progress

    Q. "What to buy? I'm a smoker looking to try out vaping, and it's just too confusing. What should I get, and where from?" A. (1) "Get an eGo with a Protank or something like that. It'll be fine until you know more." A. (2) "Just get a disposable ecig or any mini cig like an NPloy from a garage...

    This shoud be a simple question or is it too old tech.

    Just in case it's of any interest: - A Joye eGo ONE is not a mech, it has wiring and electronic controls. It's a large-scale eGo. - A Silver Bullet is not a mechmod, it has a wired switch - you could call it a semi-mech or a basic electrical device. - Mechmods aka mechs have no wiring, no...

    Vaporizing tobacco

    There are several ways to consume tobacco or nicotine by inhalation. We prefer the ecig / vaping option here because that is what ECF is about, and it is normally going to have the biggest risk reduction compared to cigarettes. It's worth looking at the other options though, as there is often...

    Can someone please help? UK laws have forced my e-juice supplier to have it made in the UK and the replacement which are supposed to taste the same. B

    One suggestion: find out if you can buy direct from the original overseas supplier. If they are in the US, then figure out a way to buy there without going through the UK company. If the same ingredients are used but from different (local) sources, the taste will be slightly different - but not...

    Getting testet for cotinine (nicotine)

    Lol. 1. No, you can't "cherry-pick studies to prove anything" - there simply aren't any studies at all that demonstrate chronic nicotine consumption elevates blood pressure. As I said - show me one. Cherry pick away, dude. 2. If you would like an amateur legal opinion from a different country...

    Getting testet for cotinine (nicotine)

    Long-term nicotine consumption lowers the blood pressure. It is only raised in the short term. See: Vaping Quotes As far as I am aware there is no evidence that long-term nicotine consumption raises the blood pressure, and would like to see the studies if you can link to any. Obviously...

    decline in teen smokers as vaping gains popularity

    You are right in terms of the tobacco control industry footsoldiers. They are often ideologists who are simple, trusting propaganda victims and cannot understand basic economics. The people at the top who give the orders are a different breed. They are protecting the trillion dollar a year...

    Vaping causes heart attacks

    According to Rodu, Glantz is paid $6.6 million a year, and according to Phillips is a serial liar whose principal occupation seems to be to lie about vaping. This would make him one of the highest-paid liars in the world. Assuming they are correct, it would seem that if you are greedy and...

    decline in teen smokers as vaping gains popularity

    In the UK, NRTs such as nicotine skin patches are licensed for use by children down to age 12. The local health orgs go around giving them to kids in schools and so on. This isn't really surprising as NRTs are probably about the the safest 'drugs' on the market, since they are just mega vitamin...

    Lungs hurt after vaping

    Stop chain vaping. Raise the nicotine strength so that you vape less. Try other base types such as >VG. Try flavours that don't contain citrus, cinnamon, vanilla. Vaping is not a substitute for breathing, and if you are vaping a vast amount more than you smoked - which it sounds like - then...

    How to build your first ecig mod / APV

    More people are looking at how to build their first mod now, even though they have no knowledge of electrics / electronics. This is a result of general interest, plus economic pressure: boxmods are hot now but may be priced beyond the reach of some vapers. This is good, provided you go about it...

    Ditching Tapatalk?

    Yes, that is understood. One of its problems is that old versions were particularly badly coded, and won't obey any conventions or update. It scrambles the forms we use for Classifieds and other inputs, and it can't do things it needs to do but does other things it shouldn't. Shame really but...

    Oh no - Nick Clegg is a vaper

    Question from a .....

    Well, you could use that venom battery with a 4 ohm coil on your RDA, for example. But if you are an electronics newb then it could be better to stay with something someone else built for a while, until you understand the issues. Or, if you want to get into modding / electronics, then first get...

    ohm meter help

    The first thing to know is that all measuring equipment needs to be calibrated. That means: how do you know it is right? What have you measured with it that you already know the value for? So to do a shortcut calibrate on that device - a quick check - I'd measure something with an accurate (and...
