    vaping at bars

    Think about smoking: is it really possible to "stealth smoke"? No. And yet, many business allowed smoking to attract smoking patrons. Non-smoking people would simply choose another venue - another where the other *owner* decided to NOT allow smoking, because it was ALSO good for his own...

    Why does a subtank use more liquid?

    I guess it might depend if you're using a mech or a regulated mod. Mec? Of course. Lower ohms means more amps, therefore more power at the same battery voltage. More power, of course, means more liquid is vaporized. On a regulated, I'm not so sure. VW makes sure that you still get the same...

    The American Cancer Society posed the question "How did you quit smoking" of Facebook.

    This. Unfortunately, your long list is not even *complete*. :(

    The American Cancer Society posed the question "How did you quit smoking" of Facebook.

    They *might* try to do just that. Trouble is, by just looking at the FB page, if they go hiding the vaping testimonials, there will only be a handful of testimonials left - which really account for the safe and *effective* methods they endorse... :lol:

    The American Cancer Society posed the question "How did you quit smoking" of Facebook.

    I may sound cynical, but let's just wait and see how many of those posts will still be there in a while. It's not the first time some liar's association tried to cover the FACTS from the general public. :( NCI lies about the effectiveness of e-cigarettes, via deletion and explicitly |...

    Secondhand vapor....

    What I thought exactly. Cellphones *must* cause tumors until proven othewise. :rolleyes:

    Secondhand vapor....

    And how does the lack of long-term studies bother you when it comes to cellphone or wi-fi radiation, for example? Have you been avoiding using those for lack of long-term studies? Are you willing to keep avoiding those for the next 20 years?

    I guess I'm going to have to die sooner than I thought.

    There is already some evidence to show that trading smoking for vaping has made people better from their illnesses, not just "not worse" - even for dual users. First study to demonstrate improvements in smoking asthma patients after switching to e-cigarette use First study to demonstrate...

    I guess I'm going to have to die sooner than I thought.

    Yes. *May*. Not *It was*, just like we have heard all over the news. And Dr Farsalinos had to calmly explain to his fellow doctors who endorsed that nonsense how PG and VG are NOT lipids. Even I already knew that, and I'm no doctor. :) If I drank several pints of beer, followed by a coffe...

    I guess I'm going to have to die sooner than I thought.

    OK, so let's recap your "content", shall we ? " (...) I have been vaping for two years now. And two days ago, I switched to completely flavorless vaping (after months using just a little bit of flavor while reading about DA, AP & Co.). I feel cheated. Who said that flavors are a must, a...

    I guess I'm going to have to die sooner than I thought.

    One shoe does not fit all. I could argue the same about more advanced devices. While I like those today, truth is I managed to quit smoking in a day and an half, more than six years ago, using a small, cigarette-sized Janty Dura-C. (Google that, and see how outdated it is. :) ) Some of my...

    I guess I'm going to have to die sooner than I thought.

    Just like that "lipoid pneumonia" scare... one of the guys smoked for almost 30 years before vaping. "Logically", the ONLY culprit for his illness was the e-cig he was using for only a month and and half. :facepalm:

    Unfortunately, you will soon discover it was not. :(

    Traveling to Panamà... Discovered ecigs are banned?

    So... a pharma Nicotrol inhaler would never be banned, because despite being a "nicotine delivery device", it's also a "medicine". OTOH, an e-cig is banned because it is a "nicotine delivery device", even if there's NO nicotine in it. :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: In Portugal...

    EU Austrian court snuffs out planned e-cigarette restriction

    Not very long ago, I managed to totally confuse an e-cig naysayer on this "nicotine debate". He believed that the laws regarding the e-cig as tobacco products were "only fair", because "there's nicotine in it", and "no-one knows the possible health effects". He stated that taxing e-cigs like...

    Not supposed to dry-fire Ti coils but its healthier than kanthal?????

    IMO, high temperatures only develop when there's no liquid to cool the coil, taking away all that energy to vaporize. On a dripper, I do not see the coil glowing red when there's liquid in it. It's only without the moist cotton that it can dry-burned. Just like having a pot of water on the...

    Another Avoidable Mod "Incident"

    This. By it's own design, a mod can be dangerous - no matter what your experience level is (*). On top of that, make a new type of mod that has what many people could consider a design flaw (I mean, is the added conductivity really worth the risk of that specific design ?), sell it to a...
