    hey guys.. could use some help... "legally"

    While I can't offer any new advice on dealing with your employer, I'd strongly suggest snus or Stonewall dissolvable tablets to get your nic fix while you're on the floor. Hands-free and far safer than dip (in terms of carcinogens and mouth damage). Look at the Smokeless Tobacco subforum for...

    Bump in the road to 0

    The trouble I've noticed in cutting down is loss of throat hit. I just can't give that up. Flavor, on the other hand, is easy to maintain. Get a TastyVapor doubler (0mg, same strength flavor), $15 for 120ml and use it to cut down. Or buy some FlavourArt tobacco flavorings from HappyVaper.com...

    "Cartomisers" What have you learned?

    I should also note that these are the tips I have learned so far, that work best for me personally, in two months of cartomizer use. People are coming up with new ones all of the time, and part of the enjoyment of a forum is finding out the tricks that people share. For instance, Dogsbody...

    KR808D Cartos...

    They will hold 1ml of liquid, but I top up before they dip below about 1/3-1/2 of capacity, to prevent burning. A burnt carto becomes pretty much unusable. (Well, this is a precaution I take because I vape at 5/6v, and HV can burn a cartomizer much more quickly.) So if you use 2-3ml a day...

    Fda rocks!

    OK. I think I misinterpreted your statement to mean no government oversight of contents. I suspect we agree pretty well on this: There's an ideal balance -- hard to achieve, but worthy as a goal -- combining freedom of personal choice with safety regulations that prevent dangerous dishonesty...

    Fda rocks!

    Agreed. But... Should the USDA stop inspecting meat, because we can be adults and figure out which packages contain E. coli? Should the FDA stop inspecting overseas facilities producing the prescription medicines we take, because we should be willing to research that ourselves?

    Fda rocks!

    (I ought to be forward and say I am not a doctor or any other type of medical professional, but I have spent a long time reading studies and secondary literature, and pestering my MD/PhD/pharmacist friends and acquaintances to explain things my general science courses didn't cover. I do have a...

    Welcome Annette, and best wishes to Taras for a speedy recovery!

    Fda rocks!

    Have you considered the other side of this, without the slippery-slope arguments? Giving the FDA the license to restrict their distribution would actually give them authority much like they have over food. As in, shut down distribution when they suspect a contamination or other violation has...

    What is Wrong With Me?

    You're definitely not alone. Edit: Just saw your post. I really recommend a high voltage mod. They just deliver more and feel much more satisfying. 5/6v just made a huge difference for me personally. You might also want to try snus and/or snuff. Check them out and read up at the Smokeless...

    Does the KR808D system only accept cartos?

    I've heard the 901s work without adapters on KR8 batteries (which would make sense, there are no airflow issues in that direction). There are also mega (280mah) 510 batteries. They are still shorter-lived than a KR8 mega (380mah) battery. Still, most of the KR808 megas (manual) out there have...

    Metallic/foil taste?

    What model are you using? If you have cartomizers it's a different issue from using atomizers. Where was the "loose foil"?

    A question of durability.

    If you're looking for a pocket-sized model that is built solid, I'd start with a Little Chuck from thagbuilt.com (there's a helpful Thag Built/Chuck subforum here too, scroll down to the Supplier forums). The Silver Bullet's one of the biggest mods out there as far as I know, so it's not quite...

    Tips for dealing with the media

    This is an excellent set of tips. Certainly sticky-worthy (if it doesn't make the sticky list too long). #4 includes a crucial point about negative comments. Stay away from attacking individual or organizational motives. Negative speculation (and it is just that, speculation) draws attention...

    Anyone mix TV doublers with flavorless?

    I've been able to make 8mg/ml liquids with 48mg/ml unflavored and a doubler that turn out fairly well, but that was the edge of it, to my tastebuds (YMMV of course). That's 2 ml unflavored nic to 10ml flavored no-nic. Any more and I had to add a bit of flavoring of my own (which dilutes the...

    health risks associated with snuff?

    The lack of information probably has everything to do with the fact that nasal snuff is simply not used on the same scale as cigarettes or even dip. We rely on Sweden to provide snus data, because it's so popular there. But nasal snuff probably has the most users (by total consumption and by...

    My First Tasty Vapor order

    What I gather from posts, the website, etc: Geoff uses Loranns for many of his flavorings. But, he also uses non-Loranns caramel and vanilla (and maybe dairy/creamy) flavors, as well as ethyl maltol and acetylpyrazine (two vape-safe flavor compounds for candy and buttery flavors) in some mixes...

    Polyfill?

    CatMommy, if you (or someone else reading this thread) want to try the blue foam, the packages are huge and I have a ton left...would gladly send some along, just PM me. :) I came to like it better than the polyfill in my 510s. Wicks better than the poly with thicker/part-VG liquids. (It's...

    All-Natural e-liquid Vs. artificial?

    I'm always interested in a good tasting liquid, of course! But as to the natural label... I assume you mean that it would be VG and nicotine, but with natural flavors? (People shouldn't be alarmed by artificial flavorings in liquids...Scientific American had a useful article on the matter. But...

    Artificial Sweetner

    My only guess? Cinnamon oil, perhaps... I trust Geoff that he doesn't add anything that isn't on the label of the bottles. He asked if we wanted sweetener in the liquids, and decided by the poll that he'd only sell it on the side. BTW, the artificial sweetener he sells on the side is...
