    PureSmoker -- Down for the Count (Or Atleast a Day or Two) + Sneak Peak

    Yay 510s! (sez the woman who's been stockpiling those buggers) I'm hoping the batteries for this little work of art will be somewhat easier to obtain than the RCR123As have been. Everybody's always out of the dratted things. I am never again ordering less than 20 at a whack, I swear.

    PT tripping protection in my kensington

    Y'all work this out, please, and wake me when you've figured it out and tell me how much it'll cost? My eyes glazed over reading this, no offense and gobs of respect. I've had 2 underperforming passthrus and have concluded it has to be my computer. It sounds like I would constantly trip a...

    Prodigy PT vs <every other passthrough>

    arrrgh... Got it working, it's kinda meh, I started reading about power issues, am now reading that maybe it's not such a great idea to plug the passthru DIRECTLY into your computer's USB port, and no one seems to agree which is the best alternate power source. They have posted links to...

    Prodigy PT vs <every other passthrough>

    Thanks, you helped bigtime. This is very odd. I tried an e-smokeytreats atty, and got a little wisp of vapor (but it wasn't a great atty, it needs exorcism or something). Then I put in a new atty from the last big batch from Puresmoker, which should be identical to the one that's not working...

    PureSmoker -- Down for the Count (Or Atleast a Day or Two) + Sneak Peak

    Dammit. I was DONE BUYING GEAR. DONE, do you hear me??? Until I saw this beautiful thing. Damn youse, Puresmoker! :: counts spare change found in couch cushions :: :: looks around for more couch :: I do this same crap when the new iPods come out. I'm going to start calling this gear my E-Pod.

    Prodigy PT vs <every other passthrough>

    Pardon -- I'm a little lost, and I don't speak electr-ese. I just got my PT, a 510. The inner post looks like the 510 connection on my Prodigy adapter, anyway, though the outside is not as big (and probably shouldn't be). There's no battery to charge in this, right? So I should be able to plug...

    Insanity

    Just saw this... thing. Banzhaf is purely and simply a... well, that word is surely not allowed here, and it's one even I rarely use, and I think like a sailor. He is also a wannabe bully. There. That's clean. Unfortunately, he cannot be dismissed; he has a long track record of success...

    Zogby Interactive Poll--E-cigarettes

    May not be the best place to post this since it's not a news article, but I thought some of you might like to know. BF and I are both signed up to take polls Zogby sends out occasionally. He got one this morning; I did not. His contained about 5 questions regarding e-cigarettes... as in, have...

    CR 123a battery alternative source

    Thanks for that update. You're doing better than I did. I tried to place an order on Aug. 7 for the 6 batteries + charger, they sent me a tracking notice, THEN wrote on Aug. 10 to say they were out of stock until the 16th. Since then I cannot get them to reply to emails (including "Lydia")...

    Silliest article ever, maybe

    LOL. You MUST see Showtime's "...... Madness: The Movie Musical" if you have not already.

    Silliest article ever, maybe

    Khaleej Times Online - Hazardous e-cigarette Smoked out of Market The excerpt that made my head explode: Dr Al Maidoor said to date there is no study that could prove that the e-cigarette can be used as a therapy to 
quit smoking. On the contrary, e-cigarette “will encourage smoking...

    Smoking Everywhere

    Dunno why, but reading this cheered me up. Haven't been malling in a while, me 'n my Prodigy might have to go stimulate the economy a little bit! Heh heh...

    Peach Pits!? Msn E-Cig article 8/16/09

    I think I can explain why Wellbutrin helps some people quit smoking. It nearly helped me quit, when I wasn't intending to and had no reason at the time to want to quit. I took it on and off for years. It has one peculiar side effect for some people: It makes cigarettes taste really foul. I...

    Capella Drops

    OMG, someone has a chocolate that actually tastes like chocolate, and a dark chocolate to boot? Must hit Google! I need the perfect chocolate/coconut Mounds vape! I was disappointed in the LorAnn cherry too. Don't like TW's cherry either; I'm vaping e-smokeytreats cherry. But you want...

    Nicotine and Birth Control

    Late to the party, but I can throw down some praise for the Mirena. They are starting to be less restrictive about Rxing IUDs for women who haven't given birth -- I read that recently. Once I got past the insertion (not pleasant and I had kids) and bleeding steadily for 4 months (but I was doing...

    How Did You Come Up With Your Name and Avitar?

    Heh. And before I came here, I lived in Richmond, VA for 10 years and drove past the Philip Morris curing warehouses every day. I never really loved the smell of smoke itself, but it sure smelled great around those warehouses. They roast coffee somewhere close to where I work now. You would...

    How Did You Come Up With Your Name and Avitar?

    Who needs imagination -- or husbands in the pic -- with such pretty avatars, ladies? Okay, I'll bite too. My avatar is a Pokémon actually named Vaporeon, which woulda been my nym here if I'd thought of it first. My kids forced me to start playing Pokémon a few years back (they are in their...

    Firm wants e-cigarettes to be considered tobacco, not drug

    Quoting Tropical Bob: "if I remove vitamin C from an orange and sell it as crystals to stir into a drink, the resulting drink isn't an orange or orange juice. If I remove carotenes from tomatoes and sell tablets of them in a health food store, I'm not selling a tomato product. E-liquid uses a...

    A question for the ladies...

    No rules I know of, just personal preference. I'd rather risk extra liquid going into the airspace of the cart than into the atty, so I try to keep it cart-side down if it can't be horizontal. Rather pop the end off a cart and blot up the extra than have pools o' crud collecting in my atty, but...

    A question for the ladies...

    Hey, that Purse Brite thing is actually pretty cool if your purse is a large, roomy sack. It lines the inside circumference of your purse, and that little light attached is BRIGHT. My daughter gave me one when I was carrying huge bag purses, and it was very useful!
