    Donate to Dr Farsalinos' new study

    This is a non-sequitur. 1. We don't know if the effect of these contaminants is the same in tobacco smoke and ecig vapor. 2. Farsalinos didn't test for sub-ohmers vaping 20ml of creamy custard flavor a day. That might work out to many times the diacetyl that a smoker inhales. 3. If a vaper...

    Donate to Dr Farsalinos' new study

    I believe you are missing the point: Farsalinos makes it quite clear that 3 out of 4 flavors contain these contaminants, and all vendors say there is no contamination. 3 out of 4 vendors are lying (or more likely they are just too greedy and uncaring to have the tests done). No - the refill...

    Donate to Dr Farsalinos' new study

    The odds are 3:1 that your refill is contaminated. The only way of getting some sort of confirmation that a refill is not contaminated is if the vendor can supply a recent test certificate of the specific finished retail product that definitively states there is no contamination with diacetyl...

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

    Part of the reason why we can allow this change at this time is that the future of ecigs has now been decided. It couldn't be any worse, so there is no way to go down.

    Is ecf advocation censorship?

    There are a few points I can make here. ECF doesn't censor other sites or forums unless we are attacked, or we can't afford to give that site a lot of links that would jeopardise our position with search engines. If we are attacked then we will censor the links that the attackers attempt to...

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

    Related to this whole topic is the fact that big changes are coming - and this is a very minor change indeed on the scale of things. Vaping is about to hit a brick wall, and ECF will be forced to make changes in order to survive. By summer 2017 both the USA and EU will have implemented plans to...

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

    Up until now we have not allowed all forms of THR to be discussed (or the equipment sold) on ECF, because it seemed too difficult to handle the consequences: discussion of drug use with the same equipment. Essentially that was a cop-out, and we needed to fix it. The time is right to fix it now...

    New policy for leaf vaporizers

    ECF has changed the policy on tobacco leaf vaporizers and similar hardware. There are multiple reasons for this, including: 1. In order to cover all THR options (tobacco harm reduction: alternatives to smoking), we need to allow discussion of tobacco vaporizing. Just as some people prefer Snus...

    I call upon the Veterans for help

    Brass can contain lead, or not. Free-machining brass often has lead as it makes it easier (faster and cheaper) to turn it on a lathe and mill it. Because there is a huge range of brasses, it is impossible to tell which has and which hasn't got any lead in it. Cheap brass is more likely to have...

    Clone

    The entire ecig business is built on clones: copies of designs that someone forgot to patent. The benchmark ecig is an eGo - but 99.99% of 'eGos' are clones. The original design was by Janty, they had done many before that didn't take off, so maybe they though this one was a dud as well...

    Recent confrontation in a parking lot

    This thread is closed. There are people in this thread who are way, way too prickly - you need to calm down and back off. Others don't hold your opinions and that's all there is to it. You can't change someone else's opinion or win the debate by shouting or throwing insults - so back off and...

    Pic Help!

    Well, the pixellation may be caused by the forum software trying to reduce a 2,500px image of 2MB down to 250px by 50kB. It won't do a very good job. You need to fix it at your end.

    Rayon wick, better flow, flavor, saturation and Nic Hit!

    Thunk is a fun word, it's a sign of how we like to make things more complicated than they are. As an example, the plural of roof is roofs ('up on the roofs'), but if people are free to make their own plural without being contradicted then some will say rooves. This is an irregular form as...

    Cigarette Review

    I can't see where to buy these on the web, there are no ads. If you can't buy it on the web then it probably doesn't exist. Is this a hoax? What about photos. We will know if it's photoshopped so don't bother. Anyway these sound dangerous, ECF would have to ban them.

    encounter with a doctor today

    Yes, this is one point of view you can find among medics. Another is that 'nicotine promotes cancer' because it promotes the growth of new blood vessels even in unwanted situations. There are multiple clinical trials that show this, and multiple claims that, as a result, nicotine 'must promote...

    encounter with a doctor today

    There are medics on both sides of this argument. Here is a GP (general practice physician) who has opened a vape shop next to his surgery (office): Doctor sells ecigs ...so it's fairly obvious what side he is on. The most senior figure in tobacco control in the UK, Prof Britton of the RCP...

    okay, i can only post here? well, mech mod question

    Would be nice to know what the resistance of the path through the device is, with the button pushed. Sounds like it will be a lot higher than it should. Check that first?

    Pic Help!

    Some stuff about pix: - If the subject is simple then convert it to a .gif, especially if it has any text in it - a gif presents text crisply while a jpeg can blur it. With a gif you get a small filesize, it doesn't take up much of your allocation, and it loads fast. If the colors are few and...

    EU Prescribed Medicine in the UK

    Currently, the UK is set for a two-tier system once the new EU TPD has been implemented, probably by 2016. There will be a consumer products group and a medical products group. We don't know how the EU consumer product regulations will be transposed and implemented in the UK. The regs class...
