    What to do with 90ml of gross juice?

    Personally I find if I really don't like a liquid, I can't save it, even with strong flavorings. Hard to conceal a bad flavor with more flavor. YMMV of course. I wouldn't throw it out, though. If you choose to take only a partial loss on it and sell it on the Classifieds (easiest if you mark...

    Does Tasty Vapor Make Liquid That Tastes like a cigarette

    Right. I'm afraid I may have sounded as if I misconstrued the point as well with my comment about "searching for a Parliament taste", but I did understand what you mean, and it has nothing to do with liking tobacco-flavored liquid or not. I meant searching for a taste that replicates the old...

    From CNN.com Today/Eissenberg study with feedback

    This is somewhat late, but I wanted to join in the chorus to thank Dr. Eissenberg for his participation here. Few researchers would be so gracious as to participate in the jungle of an online forum. I'm happy to read those who have shown genuine curiosity and civil discussion about...

    Is nicotine by itself an anxiety reliever?

    Agreed with TBob's points. Nicotine is a stimulant, so most people won't find it relieves anxiety -- other than the anxiety of cravings! Yet it does activate some GABA release, which is anti-anxiety. Plus, some people have a paradoxical reaction to a particular stimulant or all stimulants...

    When am I going to look & feel better?

    Dehydration can be a real bear in this dry indoor season, and it's brought on pretty easily with vaping (PG or VG)...and chronic low-level dehydration can make things like skin and sinuses feel/look worse. Headaches are also a first-line symptom, for me at least. What you're describing in...

    Does Tasty Vapor Make Liquid That Tastes like a cigarette

    I wish all new vapers would read that. Most people are going to search for a "cigarette taste/experience" at first. Seems like most give it up eventually and enjoy the change--but that's among those who stick around...it's hard to know how many come in with mistaken expectations and leave...

    Too much Nic, PG, or Vaping?

    The PT could easily be giving you too much nic too fast for your individual needs (since it's a higher voltage, it vaporizes nic liquid faster and in greater volume, as you've noticed). You might try switching to a lower level for chain-vaping and reserve the 24mg for when a tougher craving...

    Doctor

    108/70 is great. Many people have routine blood pressure that is below 120/80; a lot of athletes and active individuals have lower ones in particular. Hypotension becomes a concern at a very low BP, or when it starts to cause symptoms like dizziness and fatigue, which usually happen more often...

    Cass hon, when day breaks over the Emerald Isle, you'll have to clear some space in your Inbox. I can't stalk you via PM any longer. Don't make me come over there! :D

    new flavors for me

    I couldn't ever get a true flavor from prefilled cartomizers. Always a weird undertaste, too. But that's just my personal tastes... Great call on the TastyVapor. TV's Buttercream has a nice vanilla frosting flavor to it -- he uses real vanilla oleoresin, not an alcohol extract or artificial...

    Is this list of Ingredients/Products SAFE to vape?

    Evaporated cane juice is sugar (it's just not processed in the same way as regular white cane sugar). The other ingredients look fine, but... Sugars will caramelize/burn (depending on the temp of the atomizer) and leave deposits on the atty coil. Of course the amount it deposits depends on how...

    Upon trying my first butterfinger candy bar...

    Didn't know you didn't have a point of reference on the Butterfinger, Cass! :) (American M&M's are no match for the UK's Smarties, so the score does even out in some places ;)) The Atomic Fireball is probably the strongest flavor out there and I can imagine it's a good one when you're ill...

    Flavoring Discussion/Recommendations

    How does the FlavourArt chocolate compare to Capella? I'm looking at ordering a bunch of FA flavors but I haven't heard anything on the chocolate. Also looking at a bunch of the FA fruit flavors -- white peach, watermelon, kiwi, pomegranate... :)

    Fog Machine Fog Causes Decrease in Lung Function - Comparison to e-Cigs

    Another page on fog juice lists the contents from one common supplier (scroll down to "Table of numerous versions"). One blend, for instance, contains 30% distilled water, 35% dipropylene glycol, and 35% triethylene glycol. Others contain only propylene glycol and distilled water. I've never...

    Foamy or bubbly urine....... who has it after ecigs??

    What CTJ said. It is unrelated to sugars or VG. Urine abnormalities (color or foaminess) are a possible sign of mild dehydration (if it were moderate or severe you'd have other symptoms). While others might or might not have noticed this symptom (I haven't), many of us have dealt with some...

    Anyone else on The Pill?

    hi all! :) This might help: The Pill, Smoking, & Nicotine Replacement According to this abstract, "Women who smoke and take oral contraceptives (OCs) have significantly increased risk of cardiovascular disease, but the exact mechanisms for the increased risk are not known." So it's unclear...

    I want an answer!

    Well put. Also, there is a small number of suppliers here that I have heard just enough about -- and/or have the strong sense that the complaints I see are the tip of the iceberg -- that I simply won't try buying from them, or I'm very wary. As soon as I see a vendor respond negatively/poorly...

    flavors you'd like to have from TV?

    I've grown really fond lately of desserty peppermint flavors. Mint adds a refreshing throat sensation. I would buy up any kind of mint/chocolate premium flavor combination! Peppermint Bark? Peppermint Patty? Mint Chocolate Sundae?

    Controversial suggestion: Lobelia Extract in E-Juice?

    I looked into lobelia about a year ago, long before I found out about PVs, and came up with some interesting information, but I'm afraid it's not positive in tone. Memorial Sloan Kettering has a page on lobelia with additional information on its mechanism of action and recent laboratory study...
