    Indoor vaping

    The sheer reality of numbers seems to contradict this. Before the ban, pubs were closing at a rate of maybe 300-400 a year. After the ban, those numbers skyrocketed to 1500, 1600, 1900 even... per year. You may want to Google "Pubs in England after the smoking ban". If indeed non-smokers...

    Indoor vaping

    In a truly public place, that may be reasonable. (Maybe, insted of banning smoking *everywhere*, they could get isolated areas for smokers. It's a *public* place after all, and smokers amount to 20% of people). On a *privately owned* business, with public service? Forget that. Owners should be...

    Indoor vaping

    The smoking ban in 2007 was a total disaster for the pub business. Owners who would otherwise have allowed smoking in their venues, for the sake of business, were *forced* by a draconian law, to antagonize the *majority* of their patrons. Non-smokers never had the decency to show up in pubs -...

    New analysis of smoking and schizophrenia suggests causal link

    No. It cannot possibly be from eating healthy food...! Wait... I understand know. Those poor never-smoker schizophrenics were victims, once again, of the SHS produced by filthy, inconsiderate smokers !! SHS is a gateway for children becoming schizophrenics instead of living a normal life...

    Major victory in CA

    It's the same on this side of the pond. In a month of October, there was an attempt to medicalize the e-cigarette in Europe. That would have meant a de-facto ban. Fortunately, our *elected* representatives rejected that proposal. On the next January, *un-elected* Comission bureucrats started...

    I heard an anti vape commercial on my local radio station today!

    That's another example how ANTZ's do not even think about the potencial harm they may be doing with their ideological garbage. (But then again, it's only the *hypothetical* harms done to "the childrun" that keep them from sleeping at night. Not the *real* harms done as a *consequence* of their...

    I heard an anti vape commercial on my local radio station today!

    The way I see it, reducing 50% of smoked cigarettes has a great impact on cancer-related diseases, but not so much on cardiovascular diseases. Of course, greatly reducing the risk of cancer-related diseases alone, when you cut smoking to an half with the help of an e-cig is *still* a good thing...

    My opinion on the labeling of e cigs

    Just to add: Why am I against this illogical, unreasonable "tobacco product" classification?Because of the slippery slope it provides. Under the new European TPD, you're not off the hook even if you use non-nicotine liquid. Why? Because e-cigarettes have been deemed "tobacco products", and...

    My opinion on the labeling of e cigs

    The ONLY reason we extract nicotine from tobacco, is purely *economical*. Because, *tecnically*, there are other sources of nicotine in Nature. The tobacco plant did not "create" nicotine, it just concentrated it in it's leaves - to act as an organic pesticide. Also, tecnically, it would be...

    High ohm dripping...

    In 2009, 2 Ohms would be considered "high" too. On my Janty Dura-C, I could choose between a "normal" atomizer at 1.8 Ohm, or a "H-R" atomizer at 2 Ohms. In 2010-11, the first "low-resistance" atomizers appeared, for the Janty Ego Tank - at a surprisingly low 1.6 Ohms !! :lol: :lol: :lol...

    Carcinogens and formaldehyde

    Like many positive studies about vaping, this one ALSO has been distorted beyond recognition by the press. AFAIK, there was a *range* of voltages tested. Not just 5+ volts. On the voltage range normal people would use a modest cartomizer (starting at around 3v), no "carcinogenics" were...

    In search of a new, more "AIRY" RTA.

    You might want to check the second version of the Goliath. I still did not get my hands in one of those, but I can wait. :) The regulator ring is more flush with the body, and is has larger capacity (those dissipator rings at the top are gone, making the inside volume a little taller). One...

    In search of a new, more "AIRY" RTA.

    I have both the Goblin and the Goliath from UD, and I think they are both awesome. If I had to choose one, definitely the Goliath. It has liquid regulation and you can remove the deck without emptying the tank. That's great to check your coil regularly or to explain the laymen how an e-cig...

    Are you for or against being able to vape indoors in public places?

    Because we, in Portugal, still have very lenient anti-smoking laws, if compared to the US, for example. In the US, it is forbidden to smoke in many *outdoor* areas already. What would be the logical reason behind NOT vaping in those places as well? If it is NOT smoking, why should it be...

    Are you for or against being able to vape indoors in public places?

    Well, can you say that about *anything* we use on or daily lives? Are food colorants/ preservatives 100% safe? Have they been tested long-term before released into the market? Or are we the guinea pigs making that long-term study right now, as we are using them? Is wi-fi radiation 100% safe...

    Wire resistance and coil legs, technical explanation please

    Also, I believe there might some "auto-heating" effect on the coil. By that I mean, coils are so close to each other that any heating in one of them will also heat it's neighbours, who will get more heated, heating even more the first coil... you get the idea. A coil leg is surrounded by air...
