    Is it really possible to quit "ordinary smoking" by IQOS?

    Much as i'm not a fan of 'heat not burn' tobacco products, i couldn't help notice in that report that the same old 'no evidence that they're less harmful than cigarettes' line is being trotted out. Obviously there's no evidence yet but common sense and logic strongly suggests that these are less...

    NBC Video Switching Is Not Quitting

    That's the one that really gets me - 'you havn't quit smoking'. It's like telling an alcoholic that they havn't quit drinking because they still drink orange juice. Pathetic and ignorant.

    Big price increase on unflavored Nicotine e-liquid base

    In the event of a genuine shortage of a product then some kind of management is needed - supply and demand pricing is one way. I don't agree with that but do see the logic for devout capitalists. If a product is still available to a retailer at the original price though and that retailer has...

    Big price increase on unflavored Nicotine e-liquid base

    Any company worried about stock would put limits on purchase amounts - a company who wanted to take advantage of peoples fears would jack up the price. We used to call that profiteering and businesses who did it would be derided and shunned by decent folk. Now it's applauded. Hey Ho.

    Big price increase on unflavored Nicotine e-liquid base

    It's still possible to buy 7.2% nicotine in the UK (7.5% is the legal max before it gets classed as a poison and requires a special licence to buy). The site i used to use now requires you to register as a wholesaler to buy anything more than 2%.. The last time i checked you could buy a litre of...

    Big price increase on unflavored Nicotine e-liquid base

    Supply and Demand.... The same thing happened in the UK just before the TPD was implemented. Nicotine prices almost doubled (they never went back to the pre TPD prices after the scare stories stopped). Everyone's gotta make a buck and now you can be happy that you are helping people to do just...

    I'm 53 (just a boy, really) and am currently vaping Lemon/Lime Cheesecake (Store bought but tweaked at home)..

    Just a quick rant

    So if he's buying into all the media BS that's doing the rounds then i'd say 'fair enough'. I mean, who's he going to believe - a vaper with a vested interest in allowing vaping or the NEWS. If he's saying no to vaping because he was looking for an excuse to lay down the law then it would be...

    Characterizing flavorings used in tobacco cigarettes not including Menthol

    RY1 ,2 & 3 are all still available (but take a bit of tracking down). Hangsen RY2 has always been my ADV. Being in the UK i havn't really been following the details of the flavour ban but i understand that the outcome could well effect vaping worldwide. There is also a huge legal difference...

    Characterizing flavorings used in tobacco cigarettes not including Menthol

    So if a tobacco flavour (such as RY4) is made of, for instance, intense toffee and caramel flavouring will that be considered tobacco flavour or toffee flavoured ? The end of result of specifying 'tobacco' flavour is the banning of ANY flavour other than NETs.

    What if it’s MORE misleading than we thought?

    What i don't get; Why a flavour ban immediately following the tragic deaths and illnesses ? Were the affected people vaping flavoured tainted product because i've seen no-one mention flavours. Why is tobacco flavour ok but not, say, apple flavour ? It doesn't make sense especially knowing that...

    New 'baddie'. Mint/ menthol flavor causes cancer.

    I virtually live on mentholated mint sweets. There's nothing quite like taking in a big lungful of air when eating them. Oh, and mint chewing gum. And mints. And using menthol crystals to clear my nose. Strange that i've read absolutely no scare stories regarding the use of mints. Meh. Or maybe...

    Vaping "aged" nicotine liquid... Love it!

    In the olden days a lot of DIY recipes had vinegar included along with lemon juice, citric acid, vodka etc. Tried most of them and i can state that they weren't up to much taste wise (that could be down to my then novice mixing skills). Can't recall ever getting ill though.

    How safe is DL vs MTL vaping....

    Common sense dictates that (with all things being equal) inhaling 30mls of liquid into your lungs is going to be worse than inhaling 5mls. Worse, in this case, simply means your body will have to work harder to metabolise the liquid which isn't exhaled. There are simply too many variables to...

    Question: Is it good to rock a mech mod with a single coil?

    Wow, what a .....y comment, I was trying to be friendly and upbeat with the whole 'kick @$$' thing, make it more fun and playful, but you had to go and just be a dick about it..... And yet you didn't answer any of the questions. Using the term 'kick @$$' is meaningless unless you qualify why...

    Need something small (and cheap) for pocket

    The Justfog Minifit is an excellent pod system and (so i've heard) the pods can be re-built. Available at FT for cheap and on Ali Express for cheaper. Less than $20 for the kit and 3 x spare pods on the latter website.....

    Question: Is it good to rock a mech mod with a single coil?

    What's the difference between a kick @$$ mech mod and a regular mech mod ? Or is it called 'kick @$$' ? Your question makes me worried about your knowledge - why would you think it wouldn't be safe to use a single coil ? What makes you believe that it will be powerful ? - the device will output...

    How long does eLiquid last

    So far i've vaped eliquid over 4 years old. I'm not fussy. The only thing that would stop me using expired eliquid would be the taste - i'm happy to state that expiry dates on eliquids are completely arbitrary and have never been tested. I would love someone to prove me wrong....

    Mod with a time lock function

    I've often thought a timer would be handy. Sometimes on a vape break i have no idea how long i've been vaping. A 5-10 minute cut off (that could be re-set instantly, mind) would be nice. Not a necessity, just nice to have. I am not aware of any device that has this function though.
