    Differentiation between "vaping" & "quitting"

    ''To say vaping is harmless is not accurate''. The jury is still out on that one. Unless i've missed a study that conclusively proves that inhaling e-liquid courses any long term harm to a real live person. Thus far it's all conjecture. I'm still waiting for that report that proves vaping is...

    Differentiation between "vaping" & "quitting"

    If i were to take up smoking again i would die. That's a hell of an incentive to keep off the ciggies. Guess i'm lucky :?:. I have definitely quit smoking. No question. I'm still addicted to the act of inhaling something other than air and i still feel as though nicotine makes me feel good (or...

    Breaking the Dehydration Myth

    But, but ... It must be true because it says so on the interwebz.... The act of breathing through your mouth (for instance when vaping) leads to a dry mouth. This is one of those myths that actually does some good - most people don't drink enough water anyway :tumble:

    Need New Button Top Battery

    No argument here Bad, you are just quoting Provape. But i do believe they erred on the side of caution massively. BTW, i use 18500 button tops with the occasional 18350 Trustfire, but don't tell anyone.

    Need New Button Top Battery

    If your rocking a ProV 2 or 2.5 then the spring in the end cap will easily cope with an added couple of mils to the battery length so i wouldn't worry if they are after-market buttons added to flat top batteries. Good advice to only buy from recommended sellers.. And loathe as i am to say it, I...

    Stories of people who know nothing about vaping trying to tell you about vaping

    Vaping is just one of many things that ignorant people will pick on. The days have long gone when researching a subject was a prerequisite to becoming an expert on it. Sadly. I will generally try and educate the nay sayers but keep an eye out for the 'brain shutters'. Once you see them sliding...

    What do you do when this happens

    I have to vape in the designated smoking area at work. It's interesting to watch the proportions of vapers and smokers. One month it will be mostly smokers, the next 50/50, occasionally more vapers than smokers, back to mostly smokes... Sorry, back on topic; because vaping has been a thing for...

    "Stinkies..."

    I've always thought a better name would be 'burnies' but then someone called Bernard would probably chime in with 'what' ?. As long as people know what the term means it serves a purpose. I always read 'stinky' as 'cigarette' anyway so i'm pretty ambivalent towards the word :pervy:

    Pet Peeve

    I can make a gallon of premium eliquid for the cost of a single halibut. Oops, sorry. wrong thread. Carry on.

    bought Myle but was I duped?

    There is no direct comparison between vaping and smoking. It is impossible to state that a given amount of nicotine in vaping liquid equates to smoking x number of cigarettes... You should not be using nicotine levels as a way determine the relative harms even though it is an easy assumption to...

    pipe stem style drip tip, anyone care to explain this...

    I use them sometimes when i'm feeling 'Sherlocky'. The restricted bore on the tip and the way i vape it seems to focus the flavour on a particular area of the tongue. It enhances with some flavours but detracts from others. Can't say i've noticed much difference with throat hit though.. Someone...

    Smelly juice on the exhale?

    DON'T PASS IT ON TO A FRIEND. I had a juice that tasted fantastic but the after smell was as near to fresh vomit as you can get. I passed it on to a friend and forgot about it. Around a month later i walked in to my local pub only to be greeted by the smell from hell. My friend was sat there...

    Reviewers

    They can swear as much (or as little) as they like as long as they're honest. Unfortunately most of them are shills. I can't remember how many tanks i've bought after glowing 'reviews' only to end up with a f*&k*%g lemon !

    charging

    Charging a battery via the usb of the mod should be ok - the current should stop or change to a trickle once the cell is charged. However - do you really want to trust a 25c circuit board in a Chinese cheaply produced mod ? I would strongly suggest - based on my experience of many mass produced...

    Vaping causing coughing

    Sometimes it just happens. I know a few smokers who cannot tolerate vaping - they cough 'til they're red in the face.. When i first switched i coughed for a couple of days before my body accepted the change. Since then i've had no problems.

    Neighborly intervention

    When i smoked i would have taken offence if someone did that to me...... Best course of action would be to talk to them using ' I can't believe i don't want to smoke anymore' or 'i never believed vaping would be better than smoking' phrases or some such. Don't overly push it and their natural...

    How many people still use 18350 batteries?

    Me. But only for my back-up mod when out and about. They give me around 2 hours vaping at 15w and i can't be bothered with swopping out batteries when away from home..

    What happened to Kangertech?

    Kanger (along with a LOT of other manufacturers) started trying to compete in the 'bling' market - bringing out products that they thought showed innovation but in reality were just shiny, light-up (or plain stupid) versions of mediocre quality devices. The market for devices like these is tiny...
